"Snapped!"
Before Wang Lanhua could say another word, the burly man slapped her across the face.
This really stunned Wang Lanhua. She covered her face and took a while to react before blurting out:
"You dare hit me? Do you know who we are?!"
The burly man sneered, then swung his fist and slapped Wang Lanhua again, saying, "I don't care who the hell you are! This old bastard dared to harass my boss's woman. Even if you're the King of Heaven, I'll still beat you up!"
Wang Lanhua glared at Shen Bufan. Shen Bufan glanced at Wang Lanhua timidly, then lowered his head, beads of sweat dripping from his forehead onto the ground.
"You old bastard! You dare to flirt with women!" Wang Lanhua shouted and was about to step forward to pull Shen Bufan away, but was stopped by the burly bodyguard.
"Stop pretending, this needs to be settled with money!" the burly man roared.
“That’s right! At least 50!” another burly man said.
"Five hundred thousand?" Wang Lanhua looked at Su Zhengwu with a pale face and said, "You, don't you have a partnership with the Lin family of Shancheng? Tell them to scare them!"
Su Zhengwu turned his head away as if it were none of his business. Shen Bufan had brought this upon himself, and Su Ruowei hadn't even secured her position as project manager yet. What if she offended some big shot? It wasn't worth standing up for them.
Seeing that Su Zhengwu was unreliable, Wang Lanhua hurriedly went under the table to find Shen Yunlan. She used all the auspicious words she had learned to flatter Shen Yunlan, and only then did Shen Yunlan crawl out from under the table and dust herself off.
"Ahem!" Shen Yunlan cleared her throat first, then shouted, "We are members of the Su family. I advise you to release them quickly, or you'll be in big trouble!"
Wang Lanhua looked at the burly men with disdain, expecting them to release the man on the spot. However, the two men exchanged glances and muttered a few words to each other.
"Have you heard of the Su family?"
"never heard of that!"
After whispering to each other, the two smiled and turned their necks toward Wang Lanhua.
Hearing the cracking sound of the bones, Wang Lanhua shuddered, her previous arrogance vanishing completely. She quickly grabbed Shen Yunlan's hand and said:
"Sister, call for help! These people are fearless; they're not even afraid of your Su family!"
Shen Yunlan's face turned ashen as she snapped out of her pretentious reverie and returned to reality. The Su family had only recently partnered with the Shancheng Group on a small project, so it was normal that they hadn't heard of it.
Shen Yunlan was so engrossed in her act that she was now in a dilemma when she came to her senses. She was torn between saving face and being threatened.
If I keep pretending, I'll inevitably get beaten up and extorted money. If I don't pretend, I'll lose all face.
After much hesitation, Shen Yunlan came up with a good idea.
"Ahem, I've thought about it again, and it's true that Shen Bufan was wrong to do this. He broke the rules of my Su family, so I'll leave it to you to deal with!" Shen Yunlan tried to distance herself from the matter and then gestured for Su Zhengwu to make a quick getaway.
Shen Yunlan and Su Zhengwu tried to slip away through the gap between the two burly men along the corner of the wall, but they were stopped by them.
Two burly men pushed Shen Yunlan and Su Zhengwu to the ground, one in each hand, as if they were chicks.
"You were showing off so much just now! Now you want to run away? You all have to pay for this!" the burly man roared.
Wang Lanhua inexplicably admired the two burly men. Although they had beaten up her husband, they had stopped Shen Yunlan and Su Zhengwu. Anyone with eyes could see that Shen Yunlan obviously wanted to wash her hands of the matter.
Shen Yunlan was too lazy to pretend anymore and said directly, "I, I have no money. Besides, this was Shen Bufan's own doing!"
Upon hearing this, Wang Lanhua became furious. She grabbed the Audi car keys from the table and shouted at the two burly men, "Don't listen to her nonsense! How could she be poor when she drives an Audi A6!"
At this moment, Su Zhengwu, emboldened by some unknown source, slammed his fist on the table and stood up, saying, "That's my car! You have no right to give it to them!"
Wang Lanhua was initially startled, not expecting Su Zhengwu to bite when cornered. Then, she decided to throw caution to the wind, tossing the Audi car keys to the burly man and shouting:
"The car is parked downstairs, you can drive it away!"
The burly man took the keys, exchanged a smile, and realized they were there to extort money. Shen Bufan had flirted with his boss's woman without letting the boss see, and they had planned to just squeeze out a few bucks and call it quits. They never expected to make a profit on an Audi!
"I'll let you off today!" After saying that, the burly man threw Shen Bufan to the ground and happily drove away.
After the burly man left, the atmosphere in the private room became somewhat awkward.
Shen Yunlan was full of bitterness, thinking to herself: "It was already going to cost me over 100,000 yuan to treat you guys to dinner, and now because of that old bastard Shen Bufan causing trouble, I'm getting a ride on his car! No way, I can't pay for this meal. There are so many other things I could do with 100,000 yuan. It's not worth it to treat these people! I'll just cut ties with them from now on!"
Wang Lanhua, also harboring ulterior motives, thought to herself: Shen Yunlan is definitely not going to pay the bill. I'd better hurry up and slip away!
Wang Lanhua took her wallet, keys, and phone out of her bag, then deliberately threw the bag on the table, and then said to Shen Bufan:
"Honey, I see you're badly injured. Let's go outside and get some medicine before coming back for dinner."
"It's nothing! This little injury won't stop me from drinking." Shen Bufan had just finished speaking when Wang Lanhua kicked him hard in the leg.
Shen Bufan immediately cried out in pain, and Wang Lanhua said with concern, "Look how much pain you're in. Let's hurry and get some medicine."
After saying that, Wang Lanhua helped Shen Bufan up and left, calling to Shen Cong, "Son, come and lend a hand too."
Shen Yulan glanced at the bag on Wang Lanhua's table dismissively, thinking that she would definitely come back, so she didn't pay much attention to it.
Half an hour later, there was still no sign of Wang Lanhua's family returning. Shen Yunlan suspiciously picked up Wang Lanhua's bag, opened it, and found it empty!
"Damn it! They got away!" Shen Yunlan shouted angrily at Su Zhengwu.
Shen Yunlan then waited for another half hour, but Wang Lanhua and her family still hadn't returned. So she paid the bill and took a taxi home with Su Zhengwu.
Meanwhile, Wang Lanhua and her family arrived near the bus station, intending to find a small hotel to stay in for the night and return home early the next morning.
"Wife, are we just leaving like this?" Shen Bufan asked as they walked down the street.
“If you don’t leave, I’ll make you pay for all the food on that table! Can you afford it?” Wang Lanhua asked.
Shen Bufan shook his head and asked again, "Then you don't want the bag?"
Wang Lanhua proudly pulled out her phone and wallet from her pocket and laughed, "I took them out a long time ago. That shabby bag is only 50 yuan. If Shen Yunlan wants it, I'll give it to her!"
Shen Bufan gave a thumbs up and praised, "You're so smart!"
Wang Lanhua was happy at first, but the more she thought about it, the angrier she became. It was because she followed Shen Bufan that she could only carry a 50-yuan bag.
Just as Wang Lanhua and Shen Bufan were about to argue, Shen Cong saw a familiar figure.
“Mom, isn’t that Aunt’s Audi?” Shen Cong said.
