Chapter 28

"Did you actually dare to hit me?" Xin Li covered his face and flew into a rage.

"Don't fight, don't fight!" Gu Rui Cong, seeing the unexpected turn of events, immediately stepped between the two, trying to separate them.

"Xiao Yi, don't be impulsive!" Lin Ruxue quickly held onto Li Yi.

At this moment, she secretly regretted bringing Li Yi to such an occasion. Li Yi was still too young and had always respected her, so it was strange that he could hold back. However, she felt a bit of sweetness in her heart because her nephew was standing up for her. After all, she had never hidden behind a man like this before.

"If he were a few years older than me, it would be better."

Thinking about the various injustices and helplessness she had experienced in recent years, Lin Ruxue felt a lump in her throat and almost shed tears.

"Xiao... wife!" Li Yi turned around and wrapped his arm around Lin Ruxue's slender waist.

If anyone else had pulled him, he would have ignored them, but Lin Ruxue was an exception. In his eyes, the life of the lowly carbon-based creature in front of him was not worth a single tear from Lin Ruxue.

"Xin Li, don't act rashly!" Chen Kai also deliberately held back Xin Li, while secretly laughing inside.

Serves you right for trying to cut in on me!

Although Xin Li was tall, he was not good at fighting; he only excelled at underhanded tactics and was known as a sneaky person in school. Seeing Chen Kai holding him back, he immediately took the opportunity to step back, keeping a safe distance from Li Yi, and shouted, "Kid, you wait, you're dead!"

This is called losing the battle but not the war!

Li Yi almost burst out laughing at this childish threat. "Just you?"

"What are you doing? We're all classmates, and today is a good day for us to gather!" Gu Rui Cong quickly shouted, trying to defuse the situation.

"Yes, don't fight, it's a good thing for classmates to gather!"

"Exactly, let's all take a step back!"

The others also chimed in, trying to calm things down. After all, it was a class reunion, and no one wanted it to end in a bad mood.

"Fine, I'll give you all some face and won't pursue this for now, but... hmpf!" Xin Li shot Li Yi a cold glance.

Those involved in real estate in Tangshui City all had connections with the black society. The people of Tangshui City were fierce and combative, and every piece of land had stubborn residents. Without a few strong men, it was impossible to get anything done.

Xin Li had recently climbed up a big tree, which was Zhao Da, also known as Zhao Tianzheng.

The gang that Zhao Tianzheng belonged to was the largest in the city, led by Du Siye, and among the younger generation, Zhao Tianzheng was the standout. Climbing this big tree made Xin Li feel three times more confident!

"Tomorrow I'll invite Zhao Da for a meal and have him take care of this bastard! Damn it, if I don't make him bleed, I won't be named Yin!" Xin Li gritted his teeth and thought.

Li Yi didn't know that Xin Li was planning to use Zhao Da against him. If he did, he would probably laugh for a long time. He held Lin Ruxue's hand and walked towards the private room for the reunion.

"Xiao Lin, who is this? Introduce us!" Chen Kai came over with a fake smile.

Lin Ruxue was a bit unhappy with this way of addressing her. In school, everyone called each other by their names, but now Chen Kai was calling her "Xiao Lin," clearly putting on airs because he was used to being a boss.

But she still introduced him, "This is my husband, Li Yi."

"Oh, you're married? I didn't hear about it!" Chen Kai was greatly surprised.

In his view, Lin Ruxue, who had been taken advantage of by so many people, had long lost hope and could only end up as a mistress.

Seeing Chen Kai getting closer to Lin Ruxue, almost touching her, Li Yi couldn't help but push him away, saying unhappily, "Oh, we got married abroad, so we didn't notify any miscellaneous people."

Lin Ruxue couldn't help but smile. This child had a big temper, and in one sentence, Chen Kai became a miscellaneous person.

Chen Kai, pushed to the side, his face turned black, wanting to say something but swallowing it back.

From Li Yi's immediate action of hitting Xin Li, Chen Kai knew he was a hothead. If he provoked him, it wouldn't be worth it to get into a fight with him.

But Chen Kai was still uncomfortable swallowing this anger. After a moment's thought, he smiled and said, "Xiao Lin, your husband is really young, much younger than us, right? My son looks older than him. I didn't expect you to be a young wife for an old husband! Ha ha!"

This sentence subtly suggested that Li Yi was of the same generation as his son, but it was not obvious, and it also implied that Li Yi was young and inexperienced.

"He..." Lin Ruxue's face turned slightly red because Li Yi was her nephew, and she was most afraid of people suspecting his youth.

"Ha ha, I just look young. If I weren't young and handsome, how could I have won my wife?" Li Yi took over the conversation forcefully, then looked at the young starlet by Chen Kai's side and smiled, "Xiao Chen, you're quite lucky too. Your lady is one of the rare beauties in Tangshui City. Such a young sister-in-law... Ha ha, if Xue Xue and I had met a few years earlier, our daughter would probably be older than her!"

Lin Ruxue couldn't help but laugh. This nephew never let anyone off. When someone commented on his age, he turned it around by mentioning their mistress, but Chen Kai's mistress was indeed young, so it was hard to argue.

And Chen Kai, hearing the "Xiao Chen" address, was about to bleed from the nose.

I look at least ten years older than you, and you call me "Xiao Chen"?

Just as he was about to say something, they arrived at the private room. Everyone filed in and started looking for seats.

Although the hotel had round tables, there was always a hierarchy during meals, and the main seat in the center was a matter of contention.

"Class president, please take the main seat. You're our great class president!" Chen Kai smiled and gestured to Gu Rui Cong.

"Oh, that was so many years ago, I can't take the main seat," Gu Rui Cong said, sitting down at a seat by the door. "Chen Kai, since you're hosting, you must take the main seat!"

For this class reunion, Chen Kai had said he would treat everyone, so they came to the most luxurious hotel in the city, the Jiuzhou Grand Hotel. Hearing Gu Rui Cong suggest he take the main seat, Chen Kai couldn't help but look pleased.

However, Chen Kai did not take the main seat but sat in the seat next to it because he wanted to leave the main seat for someone else.

Ma Leyou, the bookworm of the class, had entered the Land Administration Bureau after graduation through his father's connections and was now the director of an important department. Although Ma Leyou wasn't as rich as Chen Kai, he was in the government, and Chen Kai often needed his help, so he wanted him to take the main seat.

Ma Leyou hadn't arrived yet, so Chen Kai naturally left the seat empty.

Xin Li understood Chen Kai's intentions. He had also received a lot of help from Ma Leyou and wouldn't compete for the main seat, but the other classmates didn't meet his standards, so he sat on the other side of the main seat, looking down at everyone from a higher position.

However, at this moment, a strong figure appeared in front of the empty main seat, wiped the armrest with a napkin, and said, "Wife, come sit here!"

Chen Kai and Xin Li were both stunned, and their expressions became particularly strange because the person who had taken the main seat was Li Yi.
