PDLP Chapter 147 You're just too low-key.
Chapter 147 You're just too low-key.
The man raised his hand high, and Cai Lei stiffened his neck, glared, and prepared to receive the slap.
Suddenly, the man's hand stopped and did not fall.
The man turned around and saw a man with a buzz cut wearing a black short-sleeved shirt staring at him menacingly.
"Who the hell are you?"
The man in black with a buzz cut twisted Xiao Hui's husband's arm and pushed him back, causing him to scream in pain.
"Ouch, it hurts!"
The man in black then kicked Xiaohui's husband again, sending him sprawling into a roadside flowerbed where he fell head over heels.
Xiao Hui quickly got out of the passenger seat to help her husband: "Honey, honey, are you alright?"
He turned around and yelled at the man in black, "How dare you hit someone like that? I'm calling the police to have you arrested!"
Cai Lei listened and sneered. Well, why didn't she say this when her husband was about to hit her?
If it were her husband who got beaten, would she suddenly start reasoning with him?
The man in black with a buzz cut grabbed Xiao Hui's arm and yanked her away, throwing her behind him. He then spread his legs, stood on top of Xiao Hui's husband, and began slapping him across the face with both hands.
The sound of slapping someone's face was exceptionally crisp.
Xiao Hui's husband was stunned by the beating; his eyes couldn't focus.
"Big brother... please stop hitting me... you'll hurt me if you keep hitting me... I was wrong, brother..."
Xiao Hui's husband started begging for mercy. He didn't even try to fight back because the man in black was too strong and muscular, and he was clearly no match for him.
Someone rode by on a bicycle, glanced at me, and didn't dare say anything before speeding away.
Behind the black Crown, a young man stepped out of a black Mercedes. He had fair skin and was dressed in luxurious clothes, clearly not an ordinary person.
"Ah Gui."
The man who got out of the Mercedes shouted at the man in black who had hit him. The man named Agui released Xiaohui's husband, returned to the man in the Mercedes, and respectfully nodded and greeted him.
"Westbrook."
This person is Chen Wei, and the one who just assaulted someone is Chen Wei's driver and bodyguard.
The person who just gave money to the silly dog was A-Gui.
Cai Lei turned around and looked closely at the person behind him, recognizing him as Chen Tiecai's son, Chen Wei.
Chen Tiecai's position was not as high as Cai Zhengjie's.
But his son is much more impressive than Cai Lei.
People in Meihua City only know Chen Wei, the son of an official; very few know Cai Lei.
Looking at Chen Wei's designer clothes and luxury car, and then at his own ordinary attire, Cai Lei felt a pang of resentment.
Xiao Hui went over to help her husband up. Her husband recognized Chen Wei and quickly went over to him. He stood at attention in front of Chen Wei with his arms hanging down like a student who had done something wrong, his voice full of respect and fear.
"Young Master Wei, what are you doing here...?"
Chen Wei glanced at the other person with a disdainful look: "You dog!"
You dare touch my brother Lei?
Xiao Hui ran over and bowed apologetically, "I'm sorry, Wei Shao, we...we didn't know he was your friend."
"Yes, yes, I was wrong, Wei Shao, I was wrong, I won't do it again." Xiao Hui's husband clasped his hands together and kept bowing to Chen Wei.
"You think you can just let it go so easily after offending someone?" Chen Wei said unhappily. "A-Gui, this place is too conspicuous. Take the two of them away to the village and teach them a lesson."
Driver A-Gui was about to strike again.
Xiao Hui's husband begged again.
Fearing things would escalate, Cai Lei had no choice but to speak up: "Westbrook, let it go. They didn't do anything to me."
Chen Wei nodded politely to Cai Lei, then shouted disdainfully at Xiao Hui's husband, "Get out of here!"
Xiao Hui helped her husband and quickly left.
Chen Wei reached out, smiling, and walked towards Cai Lei, shaking his hand: "Brother Lei, how did you get involved with these petty people?"
"Hey, don't even mention it, that woman from earlier... hey, let's not talk about it." Cai Lei was too embarrassed to say it himself.
Actually, what doesn't Chen Wei know?
The couple we just saw were ones he had arranged in advance.
Xiao Hui's husband's company's survival depended entirely on Chen Wei's word, so how could they dare not cooperate?
"Did you just get off work?"
"Ah, right, right, getting ready to go home."
"You haven't eaten yet, have you?"
Cai Lei gave an awkward laugh: "No, we made some at home."
Chen Wei grabbed his hand and pulled him toward the car: "Come on, I'll take you to a good place. The dishes at home are always the same few things, no matter how many times you change them."
It's rare to run into someone like this today.
I'll treat you, so please don't refuse.
You need to get out and about more.
Otherwise, any Tom, Dick, or Harry will dare to bully you.
I'm so angry!
You were the one who spoke up just now; otherwise, I would have broken that kid's legs.
Our two families, I wouldn't dare say we're big, but we'd be considered top families in Meihua City, right?
As a result, even that piece of trash dared to lay a hand on you.
You're just too low-key, Lei-ge!
Cai Lei didn't want to get too close to him because Cai Zhengjie had warned him many times not to associate with these children of officials.
But Chen Wei helped just now and saved face.
When Xiao Hui and her husband were being humiliated on the ground, when they were begging for mercy in fear, and when Cai Lei could make Chen Wei stop with just a word, it was truly exhilarating.
It was the boundless pleasure that power brought.
It is a high-level power that can create rules, reverse destiny, and manipulate others at will.
After trying these things, Cai Lei was so engrossed that he couldn't move his legs.
Chen Wei invited him to dinner, and although he was somewhat reluctant in his mind, he still obediently got into the black Mercedes.
The hotel is the most luxurious in the area, with the largest private room. There are women who pour drinks, dancers who perform, and people who stand behind your chair to be ready to move it for you at any time.
Needless to say, the food and drinks were incredibly luxurious, with Australian abalone larger than an adult's palm.
"Westbrook, this is too extravagant."
"Oh, what's this? It's the first time I've treated you to a meal, how can it be anything less than this?"
"We can't possibly finish all this food."
"If we can't finish it, we'll just throw it away. Even if we don't eat it, these ingredients will still end up being thrown away anyway. We're actually helping the restaurant owner by stimulating consumption," Chen Wei chuckled.
Cai Lei still sent a message to his family, lying that he had to work overtime, ate at school, and wouldn't be coming home.
Unexpectedly, his elderly mother immediately replied, "Why didn't you say so earlier? It's all already prepared. What a waste!"
Looking at the table full of food, and only two people sitting at the table eating, the stark contrast and excessive extravagance refreshed Cai Lei's understanding.
In the past, he was taught not to waste a single drop of water.
But looking at it today, what he painstakingly saved over several years might not even be enough to cover the waste of a single meal.
It's ridiculous to think about it.
The dancers came over and swayed their hips beside Cai Lei, serving him food and wine, which made Cai Lei a little nervous.
But he also liked this feeling.
It was a mix of nervousness and fear, yet also a delightful and surprising experience.
"Westbrook, I've almost finished eating, it's time to go back."
"It's still early, the nightlife is just beginning. Brother Lei, don't call me Young Master Wei anymore, just call me Ah Wei." Chen Wei took his hand and patted it gently, appearing exceptionally enthusiastic.
