Chapter 664: Get Out As Far As You Can

After all, Zhang Hu still held some authority in front of his underlings, and they all felt uncomfortable hearing this woman describe their boss so wretchedly.

"What did you just say? I didn't hear that wrong, did I? You're telling me to be careful?" Li Lu wore an expression of doubting her own ears. "Did Zhang Hu teach you to say that? I've only been gone for a few days, and he's grown some guts, hasn't he? Has he forgotten how he used to fawn over me?"

"Li Lu, don't go too far with your words. Hu Ge gave orders that no one is allowed up. If you insist on forcing your way in, I won't be polite to you." Huang Wu gritted his teeth. Truth be told, Zhang Hu was loyal, and none of his brothers liked the look of this woman.

But Zhang Hu liked her, so these men could do nothing about it, yet her words today were simply too excessive.

"So what if I'm excessive? I'm not even afraid of Zhang Hu; you're just a dog by Zhang Hu's side. Do you have the qualifications to point fingers at me?" Li Lu suddenly raised her hand and slapped Huang Wu across the face.

"Li Lu, you..." Huang Wu was furious. If this were anyone else, he would have slapped them right back, but Li Lu was different; he had to consider Zhang Hu's face.

"Stop." Zhang Hu's roar came from the stairwell. He ran over in a hurry, with Chen Yu following behind him.

"Li Lu, what are you doing? You dare hit my brother?" Zhang Hu said angrily.

"Heh, Zhang Hu, you finally came out." Li Lu still maintained her high-and-mighty air. "I thought you were deliberately hiding from me. Heh, you've grown some guts now, haven't you? Not putting me in your eyes?"

"Huang Wu, are you alright?" Zhang Hu turned his head to look at Huang Wu. Li Lu's slap had not been light; half of Huang Wu's face was already swollen high.

"I'm fine, Hu Ge." Huang Wu shook his head.

"Zhang Hu, I'm talking to you. Did you not hear me?" Li Lu was somewhat angry. Usually, Zhang Hu was completely submissive to her; how dare he ignore her now? This made her feel very uncomfortable.

Zhang Hu turned his head, a trace of anger on his face: "Li Lu, I'm asking you, why did you hit my brother?"

"What brother or not brother? You're the boss, how can you mix with employees? They're just some thugs; it's you who tossed them a bite to eat." Li Lu didn't realize the gravity of the situation at all, and she continued excitedly: "I heard you leased a clubhouse and spent over 70 million?"

"You really are amazing. I've heard of that clubhouse; the spending there is very high, it's a high-end place. In the future, I can take my little sisters there to spend to our hearts' content. I'm the boss's wife."

"I'm asking you, why did you hit my brother." Li Hu had already asked this question for the third time.

"Why are you being so fierce?" Li Lu was startled, then immediately said angrily: "Isn't he just a dog by your side? So what if I slapped him? Zhang Hu, you dare roar at me?"

"Cousin, if you really want to develop in Shengjing, you should cut ties with this woman." Chen Yu looked at Li Lu as if she were a fool. Normally, it is better to tear down ten temples than to break up one marriage.

But if Zhang Hu continued to get entangled with this woman, he would never be able to grow strong.

"What does it have to do with you? What would a bumpkin from the countryside like you know?" Li Lu clamored at Chen Yu: "Last time it was just your dog-shit luck that those two young masters looked at you differently; otherwise, you wouldn't even be worth as much as a dog in Beijing."

"Shut your mouth." Zhang Hu suddenly raised his palm and fiercely slapped it toward Li Lu.

Slap... Li Lu let out a miserable cry. Half of her face swelled up rapidly, and a trickle of blood flowed from the corner of her mouth.

"Zhang Hu, you hit me? You actually dare to hit me?" Li Lu covered her face, looking disbelieving.

"Slap..." Hu didn't say another word and slapped her again.

"Ah... Li Hu, what are you doing? Are you crazy?" Li Lu screamed.

"The first slap was for my cousin. This slap was for my brother." Zhang Hu stared at her and suddenly slapped her again: "This slap is for myself. I've been a fawning dog for all these years; I've hit you once, and now we're even."

"What are you doing? Are you crazy? Wuu wuu, Zhang Hu, aren't you afraid I'll break up with you?" Li Lu was dizzy from the slaps and burst into tears.

"Break up? Didn't we break up long ago? Li Lu, other than a face that is barely passable, what else do you have? I've been supporting you all these years, and the money never stopped. Have you ever taken me seriously? You're just a little hoodlum who didn't even graduate high school; what right do you have to look down on me?"

Zhang Hu pointed at himself and said: "I, Zhang Hu, may not be anyone of note in Shengjing, but everything I have today was fought for by my own efforts. You take my money while calling me a bumpkin and saying I have no ability? From now on, I am drawing a clear line with you. You have nothing to do with me. Get out."

"Zhang Hu, what are you doing? I'll give you one more chance to take back what you just said. I... I won't hold it against you that you hit me. Hurry up and apologize to me; after you apologize, I'll forgive you."

Li Lu was getting anxious, but even now, she still hadn't recognized the situation, thinking that if she just crooked her finger, Zhang Hu would come up to fawn over her without hesitation.

"Someone, throw her out. From now on, she is not allowed to step foot in here. If she dares to throw a tantrum, beat her until she submits," Zhang Hu turned and barked.

"Yes, Hu Ge." Some of Zhang Hu's men felt a surge of spirit. Several of them stepped forward, grabbed Li Lu, and dragged her out.

"Zhang Hu, you will lose me! Zhang Hu, don't regret this!" Li Lu screamed as she was dragged out.

Not until her voice disappeared did Zhang Hu let out a heavy breath of turbid air. Truth be told, he had been repressed enough all these years being with Li Lu. Releasing that pent-up air from his chest today felt truly refreshing.

"Cousin, with your conditions, you won't have to worry about finding a good girl," Chen Yu comforted him. "And if you're aiming for marriage, don't pay too much attention to looks. Little hoodlums like Li Lu are a dime a dozen, but such people aren't suitable for living a life."

"Cousin, you're right. I understand now," Zhang Hu nodded and said. "Only what is suitable for oneself will work. From now on, I'll throw myself into my career and not let this woman affect my vision."

Just at this moment, a group of people suddenly burst in. The leader was actually Li Shan, who had been dragged away for causing trouble here the day before yesterday.

This kid really had some connections. Huang Shaoming had stepped in that day, and the police had taken him away, yet only a few days later, he was already out.

"Li Shan, what are you doing here again?" Zhang Hu's expression changed slightly.

"Doing what? Heh, Zhang Hu, you didn't expect me to get out so soon, did you?" Li Shan said hatefully. "Last time you were lucky, and I admitted defeat, but the boss behind me, Xu Baoshan, is no pushover. I'm here today to invite you over on behalf of Boss Xu."

"Xu Baoshan?" Zhang Hu's expression changed. He hadn't expected this matter to actually alarm Xu Baoshan.
