Chapter 177: Young Master Li, Why Did You Hit Me?

"Auntie, it's me, Xiao Quan."

Li Yongquan's words made Lin Dazhi laugh outright.

This idiot had been holding a Cohiba a second ago, pointing out the country and spouting filth, but the moment he took a call from Meng Ruolan, he instantly turned into a lapdog.

Lin Dazhi had originally wanted to play with him a bit more, but seeing him in this state, he instantly lost interest.

"Yes, yes, that business at the school was arranged by me. Auntie, don't worry, I'll deal with his women first. Once I've finished them off, I'll deal with Lin Dazhi last. I guarantee I'll make Lin Dazhi hand over the Time Reversal Instrument with both... wh—what? Auntie, y—you want me to stop all actions? And... and you want me to apologize to this trash? No, Auntie, why is that!"

The moment the call connected, Li Yongquan had started smugly claiming credit, but before he could finish, he was fiercely scolded by Meng Ruolan on the other end of the line!

"Li Yongquan, who told you to act on your own like this? I only wanted to cooperate with General Manager, who told you to use those dirty tactics? I really wonder what is inside your head, is it a pile of shit? How did my sister give birth to something like you!"

"I am ordering you now to apologize to General Manager immediately with the utmost sincerity, and at the same time, do your best to make up for the bastard things you did before! I will fly back to Jiangzhou this afternoon. If you haven't handled these matters well before I get off the plane, don't blame me for disregarding my sister's feelings!"

Hearing his aunt Meng Ruolan scold him in a tone he had never heard before, Li Yongquan was stunned!

Since becoming the next heir to the Li Family, he had always been riding high; when had he ever been scolded like this?

However, the person scolding him was Meng Ruolan, the aunt he respected and loved most, and also the most powerful big shot in all of Jiangzhou!

Li Yongquan couldn't understand even if he died; it was clearly his aunt who had tacitly allowed him to deal with Lin Dazhi, so why was there suddenly a 180-degree turn?

But he dared not ask.

From childhood to adulthood, Li Yongquan feared no one, except for this aunt. He could ignore anyone else's words, but he wouldn't dare disobey his own aunt, even if he were given eight hundred times the courage!

Listening to Meng Ruolan's orders, Li Yongquan nodded and bowed, promising repeatedly, and even after the other side hung up, his face still maintained that expression of respect.

Zhou Yue, standing to the side, also felt a bit strange seeing Young Master Li's reaction to the call.

She knew Li Yongquan had an aunt, and she also knew that this aunt of his was extraordinary—the most formidable big shot in Jiangzhou!

Even Young Master Li's position as the next heir had been secured by a single word from that aunt.

She had been right there just now; although she hadn't heard clearly what the two had said, she had heard enough just from Young Master Li's reaction.

It seemed that Young Master Li's aunt wanted him to apologize to someone?

But the next second, a scene that left her dumbfounded occurred!

She saw Young Master Li take the half-smoked Cohiba cigar, press it directly into the ashtray, and then stand up and walk over to Lin Dazhi, bowing to him respectfully!

"General Manager, I'm sorry. I am very sorry for what happened before. I guarantee to you here that I will do my utmost to make up for the consequences of everything I have done. If you have any requests, please feel free to command me!"

Even though he was one hundred and twenty percent unwilling, under his aunt's terrifying pressure, Li Yongquan didn't even dare to let out a fart!

He knew his aunt very well; she always kept her word. If he didn't obtain Lin Dazhi's forgiveness before she got off the plane this afternoon, she would really kill him!

"Make up for it? How will you make up for it?" Lin Dazhi looked at the now-subservient Li Yongquan, his face devoid of any triumph, and said coldly.

"I will immediately have Jiangzhou Bank withdraw the action to pursue the loan. To express my apologies, I can have Jiangzhou Bank provide New World Company with another low-interest loan of one billion yuan," Li Yongquan said hurriedly.

"Just this?"

Hearing Li Yongquan's words, Lin Dazhi sneered and said leisurely: "Li Yongquan, I am not short on money. Money, to me, is just a number. You don't need to withdraw that previous loan either; I have already had the company's finance department prepare the procedures for early repayment. By the way, I almost forgot to tell you, my company has already signed cooperation intentions with over ten companies, including Johnson & Johnson, P&G, Shiseido, and L'Oréal. The initial cooperation deposits from these companies alone amount to more than one billion. Oh, right, I meant US dollars."

"What? One billion?"

"US dollars?"

"And this is just the initial cooperation deposit?"

Hearing Lin Dazhi's words, not only Li Yongquan, but even Zhou Yue was startled!

She looked at Lin Dazhi in front of her carefully again, as if she didn't recognize him!

How could this be?

Wasn't it agreed that he was like an ant in front of Young Master Li, who could be easily crushed to death?

Shouldn't he be kneeling on the ground begging for mercy like a dog the moment Young Master Li made a move?

Wasn't the Li Family in Jiangzhou powerful and influential, capable of summoning wind and rain? Wasn't Young Master Li's aunt the Granddaughter of Old Wang of Nan Province, noble beyond measure?

Why, why could such a powerful force do nothing to him?

Why was that Time Reversal Instrument so valuable?

Although Zhou Yue didn't understand what a cooperation deposit was, she could guess the general meaning just by hearing the name. This was just the beginning; there would definitely be more income later!

How could it be? How could he be so rich, so successful?

No, she couldn't allow it, she absolutely could not allow such a thing to happen!

Looking at Lin Dazhi before her, Zhou Yue's eyes turned red!

"Lin Dazhi, stop spouting nonsense here! Just you, you can earn one billion US dollars? Who are you trying to fool! Young Master Li, don't listen to his nonsense. He is my ex-husband; don't I know what he's like? Don't listen to his gibberish, he's just bluffing, ah—"

"Slap!"

Before Zhou Yue could finish her sentence, Li Yongquan, his face livid, turned around and gave her a heavy slap!

This slap was so fast and fierce that a bright red palm print instantly appeared on her face!

Zhou Yue was spun half a circle on the spot, her head buzzing!

What was going on?

She had been hit?

And right in front of Lin Dazhi?

Suddenly, a massive sense of humiliation rose from within her heart!

She had spent five years with Lin Dazhi; let alone hitting her, Lin Dazhi hadn't even touched her with a little finger!

But now, she had actually been hit by another man, and hit right in front of Lin Dazhi!

Zhou Yue covered her face in disbelief, looked at Li Yongquan, and after a long while, asked aggrievedly: "Young Master Li, why did you hit me?"
