Chapter 73: Zhou Xiaojun, the Bully of the Weak and Fearer of the Strong

"Lin~~~ brother-in-law, are you there?"

On the other end of the phone, there was a hint of shock in Zhou Xiaojun's voice, but even more of suppressed rage.

Lin Dazhi naturally heard it, but this was exactly the effect he wanted.

There were plenty of beautiful women; if he threw ten million a month at them, the line of those waiting to let him play with them would stretch from Jiangzhou to the Beautiful Country. Why should it be Zhang Xiaoli?

Wasn't it just because she knew how to play?

That cheap woman Zhou Yue had been fooling around with Liu Haibo behind his back, and the Lao Zhou Family had been sucking his blood for so many years, leaving him with only half a life left. Did they think a light, airy "what happened in the past is all over" could settle it?

Are they dreaming?

That's right, Lin Dazhi was doing it on purpose.

"Ah, I'm here. Xiaojun, don't call me brother-in-law anymore in the future; it's not appropriate. After all, your sister and I have already finished the divorce procedures." Lin Dazhi's voice carried a sense of composure, without a shred of anger.

"Lin~~~ brother, Xiaoli is... she is my girlfriend." On the other end of the phone, Zhou Xiaojun gathered his courage, stammered for a long time, and finally squeezed out that sentence.

Lin Dazhi felt a bit amused when he heard this. This Zhou Xiaojun was a typical representative of someone who bullies the weak and fears the strong. Back when he and Zhou Yue weren't divorced, all the money was managed by Zhou Yue, he had no dignity or status in the Zhou Family, and Zhou Xiaojun had always looked down on him.

But now, he was divorced, had nothing to do with the Lao Zhou Family, and had become a rich man; this Zhou Xiaojun was afraid of him instead, and when he heard Zhang Xiaoli washing his face over the phone, he didn't dare let out a peep!

Lin Dazhi really wanted to laugh, and he held it in with some difficulty.

Suppressing his laughter, Lin Dazhi said, "I know, what do you want to say?"

Seeing Lin Dazhi teasing Zhou Xiaojun, Zhang Xiaoli also found it fun; she stopped washing his face properly and used her fingers to draw circles on Lin Dazhi's face.

Lin Dazhi glared at her and patted her rounded peach hill, signaling her to get back to work.

"No~~~ nothing, you guys come over in a while." Zhou Xiaojun said.

"Sure." Lin Dazhi said.

"Oh, alright then, nothing else, I'll hang up first. We'll talk when Xiaoli comes over later."

The call ended. Zhang Xiaoli and Lin Dazhi looked at each other and couldn't help but giggle wantonly.

"Laughing at what! Hurry up and wash, eat after you're done!" Lin Dazhi scolded with a laugh.

"I know, my Male God!" Zhang Xiaoli said coquettishly, though her hand movements became even gentler.

"This Zhou Xiaojun only has this much backbone. If he had stood up to me on the phone, I might have respected him a little more." Lin Dazhi said, shaking his head.

"Him? He just bullies the weak and fears the strong. He acts like he's so impressive every day, his mouth full of which big boss he's close with, but when he's actually in front of a big boss, he bows and scrapes like a grandson." Zhang Xiaoli said disdainfully.

"He's only good at being a bully at home. You believe me, after hanging up the phone, he's definitely going to go complain to his mother." Lin Dazhi snorted and said.

"Lin, I absolutely believe you on that. Sigh, he's already twenty-four, yet he still thinks he's a little baby. That's the part I look down on him for the most." Zhang Xiaoli snorted, then gently wiped the foam off Lin Dazhi's face.

On the other side, after hanging up the phone, the more Zhou Xiaojun thought about it, the more unsettled he felt. Just as Lin Dazhi had said, he called his mother, Xie Fenglan.

"Mom, my brother-in-law is going too far!" Once the call connected, Zhou Xiaojun said hatefully.

"Huh? What is it again, son? Did he provoke you again?" Xie Fenglan asked hurriedly.

"No, but he still wants to provoke Zhang Xiaoli!" As Zhou Xiaojun spoke, he recounted the phone call from just a moment ago.

"That god-damned beast! I knew he wasn't brewing anything good! He has a little bit of money and doesn't know how to show off anymore. A grown man getting a beauty treatment—isn't he just trying to show off to Zhang Xiaoli that he's rich? Son, you wait, Mom is coming over to find you now. Isn't he coming over in a while? You watch how I deal with him!" On the other end of the phone, Xie Fenglan shrieked.

"Alright then, Mom, she and Lin Dazhi will be here in a while." Zhou Xiaojun said.

On the other end of the phone, Xie Fenglan said she understood, hung up, and walked out the door.

Halfway there, as if remembering something, she took out her phone and called Zhou Yue.

"Xiaoyue, where are you? What? At Liu Haibo's house? Hurry up, leave now, go to the beauty salon where Xiaojun's girlfriend works. What's the matter? It's about Lin Dazhi. Just now Xiaojun called and said that Lin Dazhi was doing it on purpose; he just wants to provoke Zhang Xiaoli! Don't listen to that little slut Bai Weiwei's nonsense about 'topping up a card to thank her.' Thank her for what? She's so rich, what's there to thank for topping up a card? If she's so capable, why doesn't she just give Zhang Xiaoli five million!"

Xie Fenglan told Zhou Yue to leave immediately, and she herself went downstairs, got on her electric scooter, and left.

Half an hour later, the mother and daughter arrived at the beauty salon one after the other. Seeing her son sitting on the sofa in the lobby playing with his phone, she hurriedly went up and asked, "Xiaojun, has Lin Dazhi arrived yet?"

"That bastard Lin Dazhi, did he really say that?"

Zhou Xiaojun put down his phone, looked up, and seeing his mother and sister there, his courage immediately returned.

"Hmph, that's right. When I called Zhang Xiaoli, Lin Dazhi was right there. Do you know how excessive he was? He actually made Lili wash his face for him!" Zhou Xiaojun said bitterly.

"What? That bastard, that son of a bitch! Does he not have hands or feet? He even makes others wash his face? He has a little bit of stinking money and doesn't even know his own name!" Upon hearing her son's words, Xie Fenglan immediately jumped up and cursed.

"What's going on here?" Hearing Xie Fenglan's cursing, the manager of New Life Beauty Salon, Luo Yufang, hurried out.

She recognized Zhou Xiaojun, and seeing it was him, she hurriedly asked, "Xiaojun, you're here to find Lili, right? And who is this auntie?"

"Sister Luo, this is my mom, and my sister." Zhou Xiaojun also knew Luo Yufang, so he stood up and said.

"Oh, so it's Auntie and your sister. What's the matter, Auntie? Why are you so angry? Don't be angry, anger hurts the body."

People who work in beauty know how to talk. Luo Yufang persuaded her a few times, and the expression on Xie Fenglan's face looked much better as she rambled on to Luo Yufang about what had just happened.

In the end, Xie Fenglan said angrily, "Manager Luo, do you think there's anyone like him? A grown man, making a young girl wash his face—how shameless and brazen can he be?"

Hearing Xie Fenglan's words, Luo Yufang smiled and comforted her: "Auntie, you don't need to be angry. As for the face washing, you really can't blame General Manager Lin. Our beauty salon is exactly for this. Lili provides the same service to other guests as well. Since General Manager Lin wants to get a membership, it's normal for him to experience it."

"Normal? What's normal about it? Hmph, a grown man getting a beauty treatment—he's not even afraid of people laughing at him." Xie Fenglan said with a sour look.

"Oh my, Auntie, you don't understand young people these days. We have quite a few male customers here. Oh, General Manager Lin, you're here." Just as Luo Yufang was speaking, she suddenly saw Lin Dazhi and Zhang Xiaoli walking in side-by-side, and she hurriedly went up to greet them enthusiastically.
