Trading system, I exchanged vegetables for golden pills.

Those men quickly approached Chen Hao, bowing and scraping: "Brother Hao!"

To be honest, Chen Hao looked somewhat like a gangster boss at that moment.

He nodded and snorted, "When we get inside, I'll pin that kid to the ground first. I'm going to torture him properly!"

"Don't worry, Brother Hao, it'll be absolutely fine!" A blond-haired young man grinned.

"Okay, let's go!" Chen Hao turned around and led the way into the fresh beef hot pot restaurant.

Upon seeing six or seven people arrive, the waitress hurriedly came forward: "Please sit at this large round table; there's plenty of room!"

"Get out of my way!" The blond-haired youth glared at the waitress.

The waitress was taken aback, then realized that these people weren't there to eat. She quickly retreated to the front desk and made a phone call to the boss.

"Hey boss, there are six or seven thugs who look like they're here to cause trouble!"

A middle-aged man's lazy voice came from the other end of the phone:

"Causing trouble? Those students don't even know who's protecting this hot pot restaurant. Call Brother Biao and have him bring some men to handle this. Damn, we've been giving him plenty of bribes over the years; it's time they did their bidding. I'll be there in a bit!"

"Okay, boss!" The waitress hung up the phone and continued calling the so-called Brother Biao.

Chen Hao and his men found Ye Chen's table.

Chen Hao ignored Ye Chen and instead looked at Chen Tingting with a wicked smile: "Tingting, it's one thing to reject me, but you actually went out to dinner with another man. Don't you even respect me?"

Ye Chen didn't even glance at him, and continued eating the beef slices he had just scooped up.

As the saying goes, you need to be well-fed to have the strength to fight!

Chen Tingting's face was very pale; she never expected Chen Hao to appear here.

What does he mean now? Why is he saying such things? Is he not even pretending anymore?

"Senior Chen, what's the meaning of bringing so many people here?" Chen Tingting asked, forcing herself to speak.

She was a little nervous at this moment, after all, there were five or six people behind Chen Hao, who looked like thugs from the streets.

Does Chen Hao intend to use force?

How dare he do that in broad daylight?

Chen Tingting was somewhat unsure.

Chen Hao chuckled lightly: "What do you mean? Hmph, you'll soon find out. I'll show you that I, Chen Hao, am not someone you can easily refuse!"

Chen Hao waved his hand: "Guys, hold that kid down. I need to loosen up. He dares to lay a finger on the woman I've set my sights on. He's got a death wish!"

Chen Tingting jumped to her feet: "Chen Hao, what do you think you're doing? He's my brother! If you dare do anything wrong, we'll call the police!"

Chen Tingting was also afraid that Ye Chen would suffer a loss, so she hurriedly spoke up.

Chen Hao was slightly taken aback: "Your brother?"

Several people who were about to rush forward stopped in their tracks, not daring to move for a moment.

Wow, they caught the brother-in-law cheating?

This, this, sigh, what a mess this is!

Chen Hao immediately forced a smile: "Hehehe, oh, I was just joking, don't be so nervous. Come, come, sit down and let's talk. Tonight's dinner is on me!"

Chen Hao looked at Ye Chen and said with a smile, "Brother, it's a misunderstanding. I'm just punishing myself with three drinks as an apology." As he spoke, he was about to ask someone to go to the front desk to get the drinks.

When he saw Ye Chen's face clearly, he was instantly stunned.

After a moment, he suddenly stood up again, pointing at Ye Chen: "Holy crap, it's you?"

Ye Chen looked up, put down his chopsticks, took a piece of paper to wipe his mouth, and looked at Chen Hao.

"What a coincidence, Young Master Chen!" Ye Chen said expressionlessly.

Chen Hao glanced at Ye Chen, then at Chen Tingting: "Is this guy your brother?"

"That's right, he's my brother!" Chen Tingting said hurriedly.

Chen Hao glanced at Ye Chen again, then seemed to realize something and slammed his hand on the table in anger: "You're kidding me! This guy's surname is clearly Ye. Could he be your half-brother?"

Liu Yiyi retorted irritably, "Does a brother have to be his biological brother? My cousin is a brother too!"

Chen Hao was slightly taken aback. Well, that doesn't seem to make any mistake.

His expression softened slightly: "Oh, you're Tingting's cousin! You should have said so earlier! Look what a misunderstanding this has caused!"

Chen Hao seemed to have selectively forgotten his grudge against Ye Chen, and wanted to let the matter drop as if nothing had happened.

However, Ye Chen smiled faintly: "Young Master Chen, what a refined taste you have! Playing the field multiple times, aren't you afraid of capsizing? Are you a very good swimmer?"

Chen Hao's face twitched: "Hehe, Brother Ye, you're joking. I've never been involved in multiple relationships at the same time; those are just rumors!"

Chen Hao offered a forced explanation, but it was so flimsy that probably no one would believe it.

Ye Chen glanced at Chen Hao, too lazy to beat around the bush, and said indifferently:

"Chen Hao, I don't care what you do, but Tingting is my sister. Now that I know, I can't just sit idly by. Don't even think about messing with her!"

Seeing that Ye Chen had revealed his hand directly, Chen Hao decided to stop pretending.

"My pursuit of Tingting is our own business, and no one else has the right to interfere. Even if you were her biological brother, you wouldn't be able to interfere in our affairs, let alone just being her cousin!"

"Chen Hao, I don't like you, please stop bothering me!" Chen Tingting said through gritted teeth.

"You, Tingting, I know you're just saying that out of anger. Don't say anything now. I want to have a word with Brother Ye!" Chen Hao snorted and ignored Tingting, looking at Ye Chen instead.

Ye Chen sneered, "Stop pretending. Do you think I don't know what kind of person you are? If you know what's good for you, you'd better leave now, or you'll just be asking for trouble..."

Chen Hao was already a bit short-tempered, and given his past grudge against Ye Chen, he could no longer tolerate it.

"Hey Ye, you think you're so great? You're meddling way too much. Let me tell you, I'm only calling you 'Brother Ye' out of respect. Don't push your luck, or I'll teach you a lesson in a heartbeat!"

"I believe you? Of course I believe you! You smashed my car and beat me up. What wouldn't you do?"

Ye Chen's eyes gradually turned cold.

Hearing Ye Chen's words, Chen Hao's eyes narrowed slightly: "Blame yourself for being too arrogant. You need to be humble, understand? If I don't teach you a lesson, you won't know your place!"

Ye Chen stared coldly at Chen Hao, who was now back to his arrogant young master demeanor.

Chen Hao straightened his back and winked at the people beside him: "For Tingting's sake, I won't make things difficult for you today. Kneel down and apologize, and we'll call it even!"

The people next to Chen Hao immediately came to Ye Chen's side and put their hands on Ye Chen's shoulders.

"Chen Hao, what are you doing? Tell someone to stop right now, or I'll call the police!" Chen Tingting nervously picked up her phone.

Liu Yiyi shouted loudly, "Boss, there's trouble here!"

Her booming voice immediately drew everyone's attention.

Actually, she didn't need to call out. With so many people gathered here, people at other tables would inevitably glance in their direction.
