Kang Xiaobo knew about it, and Zou Ruoming naturally knew as well. After the third class in the afternoon, he brought a group of his followers to the snack street outside the school, to the barbecue stand run by Tang Yun's mother. He ordered some skewers and beer and sat there waiting for Tang Yun.

Tang Yun's mother naturally knew Zou Ruoming and was aware that he was a bully at school. However, he usually did not patronize her stand. She wondered why he had brought so many people to eat there today.

Tang Yun's mother was somewhat afraid of Zou Ruoming. In the past, a seafood vendor on the snack street had made Zou Ruoming sick, and the next day, Zou Ruoming brought people to smash the stand. Not only that, the vendor was beaten up so badly that he did not come out to work for several days.

After Zou Ruoming's tyranny, the other vendors on the snack street were as silent as cicadas in winter, all trying to find out his identity. Upon investigation, they discovered that he was one of the four notorious students at the school! Since then, whoever Zou Ruoming patronized had to be extremely cautious, fearing any problems. They would give a significant discount when settling the bill, afraid that Zou Ruoming would become dissatisfied.

There were other barbecue stands on the snack street, and in the past, Zou Ruoming and his group always ate at a stand at the front of the street. For this reason, Tang Yun's mother had secretly rejoiced, as this small business did not earn much money, and if any trouble arose, it would not be enough to cover the losses.

"Please enjoy, gentlemen... Ah!" Tang Yun's mother carefully placed a few grilled chicken wings on Zou Ruoming's table, but the more careful she was, the more likely something went wrong. As she put down the chicken wings, her hand trembled, and the seasoning on the chicken wings splashed onto the leg of a fat man with a broad face sitting next to Zou Ruoming, leaving an oil stain.

"Sorry, sorry!" Tang Yun's mother was at a loss, truly afraid of these young masters. She feared that if they were unhappy, they would start smashing the stand: "Would you like... me to clean it for you... or wash it for you..."

After being laid off, Tang Yun's mother had relied on this barbecue stand to support her family. Her husband had a leg injury and was bedridden, but the compensation from the factory had not been paid. She had visited the factory several times but was rudely driven away by the management.

Tang Yun's mother was a typical housewife living at the bottom of society, humble and weak, but she had to support her family with her own hands, earning money to send her daughter to school and to treat her husband's illness.

"Haha, it's nothing!" The fat man with the broad face did not get angry at all. He casually brushed off the seasoning on his pants and said indifferently, "How could I trouble Auntie to wash my pants? Brother Ming would kill me! You will be our elder in the future!"

"You little brat!" Zou Ruoming tapped the fat man's forehead: "Starting to flatter already?"

"Hehehe..." The fat man laughed, and the other students who came with Zou Ruoming also laughed without restraint.

Tang Yun's mother looked at the fat man with a broad face, unsure of what he meant and why everyone was laughing. The only thing she understood was that the fat man did not intend to hold her responsible!

Tang Yun's mother breathed a sigh of relief and said cautiously, "Then... let me treat you?"

"How can that be? Is Brother Ming the kind of person who doesn't pay for his meals?" The fat man waved his hand and said, "Even if he doesn't pay for others, he will pay for Auntie! Besides, we will be family in the future, so we can't be short of money!"

Zou Ruoming seemed very pleased with the fat man's words, a smile on his lips. The fat man was indeed perceptive; it seemed that his usual kindness to him had not been in vain!

Tang Yun's mother was even more confused, not understanding what the fat man meant by "family" and "not short of money." What did it all mean?

At this moment, Tang Yun walked over from a distance. The fat man with the broad face stopped trying to please Tang Yun's mother and suddenly stood up, swaying his bulky body and whistling. The other followers of Zou Ruoming also joined in, whistling and making faces at Tang Yun!

"Brother-in-law is here, brother-in-law is here!" The fat man shouted.

Tang Yun saw Zou Ruoming and his followers and heard the fat man's nonsense. Her face turned pale. She did not expect Zou Ruoming to find her here and to say such nonsense in front of her mother!

Previously, Zou Ruoming had written love letters to Tang Yun, but she had rejected him without mercy. However, Zou Ruoming seemed to not care and continued to pester her until the class bell rang, and she fled back to the classroom.

For the past two days, there had been no trouble, and Tang Yun thought that Zou Ruoming had given up after being rejected. She never expected him to do something like this! If her mother thought she was in a relationship at school, how heartbroken would she be?

Tang Yun stopped in her tracks, not daring to move forward. Zou Ruoming's intense gaze made her lower her head in fear, her face flushing with embarrassment and anger.

"Boss, Zou Ruoming and his gang are over there!" Kang Xiaobo and Lin Yi followed Tang Yun and saw Zou Ruoming and his followers harassing her. Kang Xiaobo was immediately angry: "This guy is bullying Tang Yun!"

"Oh? So his name is Zou Ruoming?" Lin Yi was taken aback, recognizing the man leading the group as the one he had hit with a basketball a few days ago, leaving him bleeding.

"Do you know him?" Kang Xiaobo was also surprised by Lin Yi's words: "He is the second of the four notorious students at the school! I mentioned him before. If you take him down, you will be the second!"

"..." Lin Yi shook his head and smiled bitterly, realizing that he had already taken care of this guy a few days ago.

"I've heard that Zou Ruoming pursued Tang Yun and was rejected, but I didn't expect him to resort to such despicable means, creating a fait accompli in front of Tang Yun's mother!" Kang Xiaobo clenched his fists in anger upon hearing the fat man's words.

Lin Yi did not feel particularly concerned. Although Zou Ruoming was despicable, he had not provoked him, and there was no conflict of interest between them. Lin Yi did not want to get involved in his affairs.

"Brother-in-law, come sit down! Brother Ming has already ordered the food, just waiting for you!" The fat man winked at Tang Yun, almost popping his eyes out.

"Exactly, Yun, don't be shy. We will have to tell your mother about our relationship sooner or later!" Zou Ruoming, with a thick face, waved at Tang Yun. Previously, Tang Yun had rejected him, and he was not satisfied. Encouraged by one of his followers, he decided to take this desperate step to create a fait accompli in front of Tang Yun's mother! He knew that Tang Yun's mother was a housewife, and although he had a bad reputation at school, he was young and wealthy. As long as Tang Yun's mother tacitly accepted the situation, he believed that Tang Yun would not be able to say anything against it...
