My girlfriend is from 1949
Chapter 384 Differential Treatment, Bizarre Combination
Li Hongwei had known that playboy for several years and was well aware of his character.
Because of his family's indulgence, he was always able to smooth things over with money and connections after getting into trouble.
This has led to their current unbridled arrogance; they genuinely believe that there is nothing in their family that they cannot handle.
Even if someone is killed today, we can pay someone to take the blame.
Therefore, he has a whimsical and tyrannical personality, and will turn on you at the slightest dissatisfaction.
Even so-called friends, when they get together for drinks.
Li Hongwei once witnessed this firsthand at a karaoke bar.
One second they might be arm in arm, the next they might have offended someone with a single sentence.
Then he grabbed a bottle from the table and smashed it over the head.
Afterwards, his family intervened, exerted pressure, and paid some compensation, thus ending the matter.
So those so-called brothers and friends outside are just fair-weather friends.
They could turn on you at any moment; you'd never really get to know them well.
At the same time, I also gained a deeper understanding of Wang Xianping's ruthless betrayal.
In recent years, for the sake of the family business, I have had no choice but to feign compliance and flattery.
Now that his brother has angered this playboy, he can only return to Shanghai to avoid trouble.
After the engagement party, I'll invite him tonight to apologize.
I hope that based on our years of getting along, they can give me some face.
Li Hongwei never thought this matter could be so easily dismissed, because he knew the other party's character well and that he was extremely concerned about saving face.
Today's events made him feel utterly humiliated.
There must be an explanation.
So tonight I'll step in first to calm the other party down, and then have Chen Huai'an come over to apologize in person.
This is currently the best way to handle the situation.
Otherwise, given Wang Xianping's tyrannical temper, he would definitely cripple the person.
Forced by circumstances, Li Hongwei had no choice but to back down. He couldn't afford to offend the other party, so he could only admit his mistake and hope to appease them.
This is also a fundamental principle for an adult to survive in this society.
Of course, he can also be ruthless and simply take a knife and send the person away.
However, this kind of statement is just something that gets hyped up online.
Although there is a lot of hostility now, in reality, very few ordinary people would dare to fight to the death if they actually encountered such a situation.
It's like when a survey team is on a mission abroad, and a few women ride up on horseback and capture them with whips.
More than a dozen grown men didn't even dare to resist; they just obediently squatted on the ground.
Therefore, Li Hongwei's decision to act as a grandson at night is a helpless move for ordinary people.
But to save his brother, losing face didn't matter.
Liu Yi had been working within the system for two years, and his ability to read people and situations had improved considerably.
Although I had previously looked down on the other party somewhat because he was unemployed.
But since he's an old classmate, I couldn't help but offer a word of advice.
In his view, given Chen Huai'an's family background, he absolutely could not afford to offend the heir of a listed company.
The safest course of action is to leave immediately and avoid the limelight.
Moreover, I won't be able to return to Suzhou for the next few years.
The other students also chimed in with reminders.
Everyone felt they should avoid it to prevent anything from happening.
At the same time, I also felt a little strange.
It's enviable that he was chosen by a female celebrity.
Unfortunately, this offended a rich second-generation heir.
Whether it's worth it or not is a matter of opinion.
On the contrary, Li Manyun, the person involved, acted as if nothing had happened.
She obediently picked up the teapot and poured tea for the man next to her.
There was not a trace of tension on her delicate face.
In her eyes, Wang Xianping was nothing more than a country bumpkin who couldn't be brought up in front of this man.
The two people are simply not in the same league.
Moreover, the man beside her reacted calmly, which already showed his attitude with confidence.
Chen Huai'an crossed his arms and leaned back in his chair.
He said, "In broad daylight, under the clear sky, how dare he act recklessly? I won't leave, because I believe in the rule of law!"
His voice was firm and resonant, expressing his strong confidence in the rule of law.
But this confidence was seen as naivety by others.
If we could truly believe that, that spoiled brat would have been in jail long ago.
How could they possibly have the opportunity to act arrogantly and domineeringly outside now?
If someone said this when they were a teenager, people might agree with them.
But everyone has been in the workforce for several years now, and is no longer the naive student they once were.
So the group looked at each other, their eyes filled with strange expressions.
However, as the old saying goes, good advice is hard to persuade a damned fool.
Everything that needed to be said has been said; whether others listen or not is their business.
Since others aren't afraid, why should I get involved?
Li Hongwei frowned and urged anxiously, "Huai'an, you don't understand the situation. Hurry up and leave. I'll call you later and explain everything!"
Unfortunately, Chen Huai'an remained unmoved and had no intention of running away at all.
Li Hongwei felt helpless, but he also knew the other party's temper.
After so many years of brotherhood, I know he's a stubborn guy.
Once a decision is made, nothing can change it.
No matter how much you try to persuade them, it will probably be to no avail.
Just then, the emcee strode over.
He said in a low voice, "Mr. Li, the auspicious time has arrived. Shall we begin?"
At the same time, Yang Wenjia also came out of the elevator with several guests.
Li Hongwei glanced around, then patted his brother on the shoulder and left helplessly.
Today is the engagement day, and all the relatives and friends invited by both families have arrived.
No matter what, it must start on time.
Otherwise, if it drags on, the guests will find out and a conflict will arise.
Those two families will lose face.
And if it really comes to that, things will really escalate.
If Wang Xianping can't subdue Chen Huai'an, then he can forget about working in this industry.
Li Hongwei knew that the playboy wouldn't dare to cause trouble in such a setting, so he went to take care of business first.
The conflict between the two could only be resolved privately after they finished their work.
Before he could finish speaking, Wang Xianping stepped out of the elevator.
Then he went straight to sit next to Li Manyun.
With a beaming smile, she asked, "Manyun, this seat is too far to the side. Would you like to move to the middle?"
Li Manyun turned her head and looked at it deeply, then shook her head and said, "I think this place is fine."
His attitude clearly conveyed a sense of distance.
Wang Xianping smiled and nodded, saying, "The view from here is quite good; we can see the newcomers on stage!"
His smile was warm, and he seemed not to mind at all.
But deep down, he was already seething with hatred.
He couldn't help but roar inwardly, "Just you wait! Once we're in bed, let's see how you pretend then!"
Wang Xianping suppressed his anger and kept trying to mentally prepare himself.
I had no choice but to put up with it in order to pick up girls.
However, there's nothing that can be done about Li Manyun, but it's a different story with the other one.
He lit a cigarette and said leisurely, "Your name is Chen Huai'an, right? Eat more later, eat as much as you can while you still can!"
The voice sounded flat, yet it carried a hint of coldness.
This can no longer be considered a warning; it's a direct threat.
It was practically saying: After you finish this meal, I'm going to kill you as soon as I step outside!
Arrogant and outrageous beyond measure.
After making the threat, Wang Xianping even shook his hair.
He deliberately put on an air of nonchalance and nonchalance.
Unfortunately, when a person is valuable and appreciated...
Even if this action isn't cool, it's at least quite funny.
However, once comparisons and choices are made, this behavior seems childish and silly.
So it's not that he didn't do well enough, it's just that others have given up on him.
Chen Huai'an's lips curled up, revealing a playful smile.
I was initially an innocent bystander caught in the crossfire, and I thought it was understandable.
So, faced with sarcastic remarks and resentful gazes.
He just laughed it off and didn't take it to heart.
In his view, it was just a man trying to pick up girls.
As a result, the girl agreed to accompany him to the banquet, but then she became very close to other men.
This kind of fickle behavior is indeed very bad.
It's only natural to feel angry and annoyed.
So they ignored it and didn't bother to argue, showing great tolerance.
But if the other party is too aggressive, then that's going too far.
The key point is that Chen Huai'an felt he hadn't done anything.
Even if other women come up to you, it's the woman's own choice.
Throughout the entire process, I maintained a polite distance.
As a result, the man didn't dare to provoke the woman, so he took his anger out on himself.
Some things can be tolerated, but once or twice is acceptable, but not a third time!
Otherwise, do you really think he's a pushover, someone easy to bully?
If they've already started threatening us, there's no point in giving them any face anymore.
And judging from the other party's tone, it wasn't just empty talk!
Just then, the waiter began serving the dishes.
At other tables, quite a few people had already started eating.
Chen Huai'an also picked up his chopsticks and took out a piece of braised pork with half fat and half lean meat.
However, he didn't put it in his mouth, but placed it in Li Manyun's bowl next to him.
He smiled gently and said, "I've heard this restaurant is very famous; its food is among the top ten in Suzhou!"
His voice was gentle, and he didn't seem to care about the stares of others.
Especially after sensing the intense, angry gaze, they made a point of exchanging a glance.
He raised the corners of his lips and gave a meaningful smile.
Since the other party is provoking us so frequently, we should retaliate decisively.
Chen Huai'an is a reasonable person, even if the other party is red-faced and angry because of the argument.
At most, it's just an argument; as long as no insulting words are said, no one will hold it against them.
Once the argument was over, everything was fine.
But if there are frequent provocations and threats, then we will no longer tolerate it.
Since Wang Xianping believes that I stole his female companion and is trying to take his anger out on me.
Let's make sure the charges are proven, so we don't get wronged for nothing!
Therefore, Chen Huai'an took the initiative.
Not only did they help serve the food, but they also opened the cans on the table and thoughtfully put straws inside.
These two actions made Li Manyun overjoyed.
He happily ate the braised pork, took a sip of his drink, and a happy smile appeared on his face.
I must say, this woman is indeed very beautiful.
Her happy smile, tinged with a touch of cuteness and playfulness, made everyone at the table take a second look.
Wang Xianping's eyes widened, and he said with a look of surprise, "Man...Man Yun, didn't you say you wanted to maintain your figure and not eat fatty meat when we ate together last time?"
Lin Manyun replied calmly, "Today is a day of indulgence, so you can eat."
The polite reply deeply stung Wang Xianping's heart.
Two weeks ago, he invited Li Manyun to dinner.
They were very helpful in serving me food, including some fatty pieces.
The other person simply replied that they were on a diet and hadn't eaten the food that was being served to them.
Wang Xianping was no naive newcomer; he understood the implications perfectly.
Isn't it just that you don't want to eat the food you picked yourself?
However, she wasn't angry about being rejected.
After all, helping to serve food was just a trial run.
If the other person doesn't object, you can increase the intensity to make the two of you closer.
If you are rejected, just send it back.
So I didn't think it was a big deal and didn't take it to heart.
But he was very annoyed that he ate the same thing today.
This not only made Wang Xianping feel embarrassed, but it also meant that he was willing to be intimate with her.
How could you not be angry when the woman you've worked so hard to pursue is willing to get close to other men?
He can be rejected, but he can't let other men get him!
"Phew!"
Wang Xianping took a deep breath, suppressing the anger in his heart.
I've figured it out now, Li Manyun just likes that pretty boy!
No matter what I do today, I won't get any favors or a pleasant look.
However, he wasn't stupid, and he didn't go crazy and cause trouble.
Instead, he sat to the side with a smile, as if nothing had happened.
Next time, I'll explore things with her properly again.
I believe that with our own financial resources, there is still a chance.
There's no need to get angry or embarrassed; that would only make you look foolish.
However, while Wang Xianping could tolerate Li Manyun, he could not swallow his anger towards another man.
Every second I delay brings more torment to my heart.
I took out my phone, typed a message, and sent it to someone called "Brother Dao".
The content was: bring people to the restaurant immediately.
However, they did not act immediately, but waited until the banquet ended before taking action outside.
By then, it won't matter anymore once the engagement party is over.
If I don't break that hand that dared to put food on my girl's plate today, I won't be able to get rid of this grudge!
For a moment, the atmosphere at the table froze.
Chen Huai'an remained calm, as if he hadn't noticed anything.
He turned his head, clapped and cheered for the engaged couple on the stage, and even took out his camera to record a video.
He looked relaxed, showing no sign of the tension that might offend someone.
Every now and then, he would chat with Li Manyun about the bride's makeup.
The atmosphere in the entire studio became lively and festive, thanks to the host's encouragement.
With the exchange of rings, the engagement ceremony came to a successful conclusion.
Gradually, after the guests had eaten and drunk their fill, they began to leave.
Chen Huai'an ate his food slowly until almost everyone else had left.
After exchanging greetings, the three of them took the elevator downstairs.
Chen Huai'an and Li Xiaoman discussed today's ceremony, while Wang Xianping stood by their side like a bodyguard.
A smirk played on his lips, and a ruthless glint flashed in his eyes!

P.S.: As expected... the data has dropped sharply these past two days.
Everyone knows that after Qidian was hit hard, it no longer allows writing articles supporting the Communist Party.
Therefore, this book could only be published by disguising itself as an urban novel.
Actually, the author wanted to write about aid, but had to write about urban pretentiousness instead.
When writing, it's like the left and right hemispheres of the brain are battling each other.
In order to pass the review as a CD-style novel and to increase its length, the author had no choice but to resort to this desperate measure.
However, this storyline will end soon.
Then the new plot will move towards the Korean War.
Please bear with me and continue to support me. Thank you!
Finally, I'm still begging for monthly votes, begging for monthly votes, begging for even a little bit of exposure!
