Chapter 47: 47: Aren't You Rich?
Hearing Wang Meimei's words, Liu Qiao'er didn't turn her head.
After all, there were so many beautiful women here, who knew if they were calling her?
Moreover... she really was starving!
Everyone else had eaten dinner, but Liu Qiao'er was determined to wait for Ye Ling's dish.
She even thought that if Ye Ling didn't bring her food today, she would ask him to make something when they got back tonight.
Thinking of the taste of Ye Ling's cooking, Liu Qiao'er's stomach growled again.
"Hey, Liu the beauty, I'm talking to you!"
Seeing Liu Qiao'er not turning around, Wang Meimei added, "If you don't turn around, I might just steal your boyfriend away!"
Startled, Liu Qiao'er quickly turned her head and saw Ye Ling standing at the doorway, dressed in a short-sleeved shirt and a pair of baggy shorts, wearing flip-flops, smiling at her.
Especially since Ye Ling was holding something that clearly looked like a lunch box!
In that moment, Liu Qiao'er felt that Ye Ling was just too handsome!
"Ye Ling!"
Liu Qiao'er immediately stood up, her face lit with surprise, and ran to Ye Ling.
Ye Ling smiled slightly and said, "Seeing how hungry you are, here, this is your meal."
"That's fantastic!"
In her excitement, Liu Qiao'er actually, in front of so many people, tiptoed and kissed Ye Ling on the face.
"Wow, Liu the beauty, aren't you being a bit too bold?"
"Showing off your love, you'll die fast!"
"Humph, always picking on us single dogs!"
Wang Meimei and the others immediately began to tease, causing Lin Qiao'er's cheeks to flush red.
Lin Qiao'er, too, had been too excited, and even Ye Ling was taken aback for a moment.
Could the temptation of food really be so great to Liu Qiao'er?
"Hey, I'm saying..."
Wang Meimei tugged at Liu Qiao'er's arm and whispered, "Your boyfriend looks so robust; he must be really capable, right? Otherwise, how could you be so well-endowed..."
With that, Wang Meimei glanced at Liu Qiao'er's chest.
Liu Qiao'er immediately blushed deeply, stamped her little foot on the ground, and said, "Meimei, you're so naughty!"
"Haha, the little girl is shy," Wang Meimei laughed heartily.
"Hurry up and eat."
Ye Ling said to Liu Qiao'er, then shifted his gaze to Lin Hua, who almost crawled under the table.
Lin Hua had noticed Ye Ling come in, his eyes bulging, his body trembling.
He had never expected Ye Ling to show up so quickly.
Were Zhang Ye and his gang worthless? Taking his money and not doing the job?
How could Lin Hua know that Zhang Ye had already been hospitalized and was still unconscious?
The others also realized that Ye Ling wasn't just there to deliver food to Liu Qiao'er but was also looking for trouble with Lin Hua!
Liu Qiao'er, holding the food, tugged gently on Ye Ling's arm and whispered, "Ye Ling, let's just forget it... "
"Don't interfere."
Ye Ling smiled and walked towards Lin Hua.
Wang Meimei and the others showed a schadenfreude expression, it seemed Lin Hua was in for misfortune!
They had all witnessed yesterday's events; it was clearly Lin Hua who was wrong first, he got a good beating from Ye Ling, and despite invoking both the underworld and the law, they still couldn't do anything to Ye Ling.
"Young Master Lin, no need to hide; I saw you just now."
Ye Ling walked up to Lin Hua and knocked on the table.
Lin Hua was pretending to look for something under the table. Hearing this, his face immediately turned green.
There was no way out of this now!
"It's... it's you…"
Lin Hua forced a smile onto his face and said, "Tea or a beverage? We have everything here, and if we don't, I can go out and buy it for you."
Hearing this, Wang Meimei and the others immediately showed contempt.
What a bully when strong and a coward when weak!
"No need, if you went out to buy it for me, you probably wouldn't come back, would you?" Ye Ling said.
"How could that be? Am I that kind of person? Just wait here, I'll go and buy it for you right now!"
After saying that, Lin Hua intended to leave.
But Ye Ling grabbed Lin Hua by his collar and yanked him back.
"Let's skip the nonsense, shall we? We've got an account to settle."
Ye Ling looked at Lin Hua with a smile, but to Lin Hua, that smile felt chilling to the bone.
In this sweltering heat, there was no need for air conditioning.
"Do you remember what I said to you yesterday when I was taken away by the police?" Ye Ling asked coolly.
Lin Hua's body trembled. How could he forget?
But at that time, Lin Hua just thought Ye Ling was about to face major trouble, and that by simply forking over a bit of money, Ye Ling would get a good beating and spend a year or two behind bars.
However, who could have imagined, Ye Ling was arrested yesterday, and yet here he was today, safe and sound?
"I forgot... I forgot." Lin Hua said nervously.
"Forgot?"
Ye Ling's eyelids twitched, and he said, "Let me remind you then, what I said to you yesterday was that you would pay as well."
Lin Hua's face changed slightly. He realized that Ye Ling was definitely not going to let things slide today and had come to cause trouble for him.
"Ye Ling, what's done is done. You've hit me, too, and I haven't done anything to you. Is it necessary to be so petty?" Lin Hua spoke in a heavy tone.
"Haven't done anything to me? Petty?"
Ye Ling said, "I really have to laugh at that. If it were someone else, they might not have been killed by Scarface and his gang, only to end up dead at the hands of the police, right? Even if they didn't die, they'd at least be maimed, right? And after being maimed, they'd still have to serve a few years, correct?"
"You harassed my wife, and now it's me who's being petty?"
Hearing this, Liu Qiao'er's cheeks reddened, thinking how annoying he was to call her his wife in front of so many people.
However, Liu Qiao'er didn't truly dislike Ye Ling.
Seeing the envious looks on the faces of Wang Meimei and the others, Liu Qiao'er felt a sense of happiness.
"Fine, if this matter is my fault, then I apologize to you. That should be enough, right?" Lin Hua said.
"What's the use of an apology? Can you eat an apology?"
Ye Ling rapped the table and said, "You have two choices. First, your family is rich, aren't they? Fork over one million. To me, that is the sincerity of an apology. As for the second option..."
Ye Ling's gaze suddenly turned icy, "It's me sending you to the hospital. Weigh your options."
Lin Hua was startled but still said with a gloomy face, "One million? Are you robbing me?!"
"Only you know whether your life is worth one million." Ye Ling said.
Lin Hua's face changed unpredictably. One million was indeed not a large sum for his family, but the thought of giving it to Ye Ling made Lin Hua very unwilling.
He had been beaten up by Ye Ling and still had to give him money?
But if he didn't pay, Lin Hua truly believed that Ye Ling would send him to the hospital.
