Chapter 332: Evil people must be tortured by evil people

Li Wei stepped forward and grasped Su Daqiang's right hand with both hands.

The attitude is very enthusiastic.

"Are you Brother Su? My name is Li Weizheng, and I came all the way from Shanghai because of your reputation."

Su Daqiang's eyes remained filled with doubt.

What kind of fame are you after?

Do I still have any fame now?

After his affair with Zhao Meilan was exposed, Su Daqiang enjoyed celebrity treatment for a while.

Reporters flocked to the door for interviews.

When he went out and met neighbors, they all showed concern and sympathy for Su Daqiang's plight.

But once the hype died down, fewer and fewer reporters came.

His reputation among his neighbors gradually shifted from being seen as a pitiful person to someone who brought it upon himself and deserved it.

He knew that Zhao Meilan was only after his urban residency and would never be interested in a thirty-year-old man who was also ugly, but he still married him.

Su Daqiang has now become a negative example in the eyes of his neighbors.

All sorts of sayings, like "marrying someone of equal social standing" and "marrying a virtuous wife," can be applied to Su Daqiang, and they all seem plausible.

Two days ago, two neighbors at the intersection were discussing this matter when Su Daqiang, who was out for a walk, accidentally bumped into them. The neighbors said some very unpleasant things, which made Su Daqiang so angry that he didn't leave the house for three days.

This man named Li Weizheng claims he came because of his reputation. Could he be here to make fun of me?

Li Weizheng quickly noticed the wariness in Su Daqiang's eyes. He had already thought about it on the way here, and he knew that he would not be able to gain Su Daqiang's trust with just a few words.

I can't bear to let the child catch the wolf.

Li Weizheng immediately raised his hand and glanced at the brand-new Seagull watch on his wrist.

Most of the 10,000 yuan he got from Li Na was spent on this watch.

"Brother Su, it's almost lunchtime. You haven't cooked at home, have you?"

Su Daqiang snorted coldly.

"I live alone, what should I cook?"

Speaking of this, Su Daqiang somewhat missed the peaceful days before he and Zhao Meilan had a falling out.

You don't need to worry about anything, but of course you can't worry about anything either.

Even her retirement pension card was in Zhao Meilan's hands.

However, the days of being waited on hand and foot were still bearable.

Now we are free.

Zhao Meilan agreed to a divorce by mutual consent and left with nothing.

Zhao Dafu obediently returned 100,000 yuan, along with the family's original savings and the old house.

Su Daqiang is still receiving a retirement pension, so even if he eats out every day, his expenses will be enough.

During this period, Su Daqiang did eat out for every meal, but as time went on, he began to miss the taste of home-cooked meals.

People are just despicable!
The moment the thought crossed his mind, Su Daqiang mentally spat twice.

The more the neighbors gossiped, the more Su Daqiang wanted to live a glamorous and comfortable life, just to infuriate those guys.

Seeing that Su Daqiang thought he was there to freeload, Li Wei hurriedly waved his hand and explained:
"You've misunderstood, Brother Su. What I meant was, if you haven't cooked yet, then don't. Let's go out and find a restaurant. It'll be on me, and we can eat and chat."

If someone invites me to dinner, I'll definitely go.

Su Daqiang readily agreed.

The two chose to eat at the restaurant that Su Daqiang frequented at the alley entrance.

You can eat while listening to Suzhou storytelling.

Su Daqiang usually treated this place like a teahouse, coming here whenever he had free time to order a pot of tea, which would while away most of the day.

After the food was served, Li Weizheng specially ordered a pot of Suzhou-style liquor and stood up to fill it for Su Daqiang, who was eating melon seeds and listening to Suzhou storytelling.

Su Daqiang didn't refuse politely and let Li Weizheng pour him wine.

Anyway, Su Daqiang realized that Li Weizheng must have asked him for a favor when he came to his door.

Whatever it is, let's eat this meal first.

After pouring the wine, Li Weizheng picked up his glass.

"Brother Su, let me toast you."

Su Daqiang picked up his wine glass with one hand, gestured to Li Weizheng, took a sip of wine, and then put the glass down.

His eyes were still fixed on the lower body of the Pingtan actress in a cheongsam holding a pipa...

The legs are the main thing to look at.

Li Wei cursed the old man in his heart, but to show his sincerity, he tilted his head back and drank the wine in the glass in one gulp.

After sitting down, Li Weizheng had just picked up his chopsticks when Su Daqiang also turned his attention back, picked up his chopsticks, and quickly grabbed a piece of meat and stuffed it into his mouth.

"Old Li, I know you've come all the way from Shanghai to see me, so you must have something on your mind. I'm a straightforward person, and I always say what I mean. Let's finish this meal first, and then we can talk about your business. I'll help if I can, and don't force yourself if I can't, okay?"

Li Weizheng became anxious upon hearing this.

Before even getting anything done, you want to freeload a meal from me?

In the past, Li Weizheng would have already lost his temper, but the current situation was beyond his control, so he could only smile and nod repeatedly.

"Waiter, give me a bowl of rice."

Li Wei turned around and called out to a passing waiter.

Since we're only willing to talk business after we finish eating, let's eat first.

The waiter quickly brought the food over, and as soon as he placed it on the table, Su Daqiang reached out and picked it up.

He picked up two slices of meat and started burying his head in his rice.

After finishing, he looked up and saw Li Weizheng still standing there in a daze.

"Eat quickly, it won't taste good if it gets cold."

"well."

Li Wei nodded awkwardly and could only ask the waiter to bring him another bowl of rice.

When the food was served, Li Wei picked up his chopsticks and saw that Su Daqiang had already eaten most of the dishes on the table.

You stole my food, fine, but at least leave me some leftovers!
Li Weizheng originally wanted to ask the waiter to add two more dishes, but then he thought better of it.

When the dishes were served, I figured I couldn't possibly out-steal them from Su Daqiang.

Oh well, I'll just eat whatever's convenient.

Li Wei picked up a bite of the "leftovers" and buried his head in his food.

Just as he took two bites, Su Daqiang, who was sitting opposite him, suddenly tapped on the table.

"Don't just eat the food, drink some alcohol too."

Li Wei hurriedly picked up his wine glass, only to find that Su Daqiang's glass was already empty.

Reacted immediately.

Su Daqiang wasn't trying to persuade anyone to drink; he was just making himself pour the drink.

Damn it, they really think they can boss me around like a servant.

Li Weizheng suppressed his displeasure and got up to pour Su Daqiang a full glass of wine.

Before Li Weizheng could sit down, Su Daqiang picked up his wine glass and took a sip with relish.

Li Wei was staring at the wine glass in front of him, unsure whether to drink it or not.

Just as I was struggling with this, Su Daqiang's voice rang out.

"Come on, stop just drinking and start eating."

As he spoke, he reached for the plate of meat in front of Li Wei.

Li Wei was so annoyed by Su Daqiang that he lost his appetite, so he hurriedly ate a couple of mouthfuls of rice and put the bowl down.

Seeing this, Su Daqiang stopped urging Li Weizheng to eat.

When his glass is empty, Li Weizheng will refill it for him without him having to ask.

After Su Daqiang had finally finished eating and drinking, Li Wei was thinking that now he could start talking about serious business.

Unexpectedly, Su Daqiang raised his hand and called over a waiter.

"Clean up our table and bring us another pot of Biluochun tea."

Li Weizheng's Adam's apple bobbed, as if he wanted to say something but then stopped.

They're treating him like he's living a normal life! As soon as the tea was served, Li Weizheng stood up and poured Su Daqiang a cup before Su Daqiang could even speak.

"You had some too, this tea tastes good."

—And it's also the most expensive.

Su Daqiang gestured to Li Weizheng while drinking.

Li Wei picked up his teacup, but didn't drink it right away.

"Brother Su, I really came here this time to ask you for a favor."

Su Daqiang put down his teacup and glanced at Li Weizheng.

"what's up?"

He was indeed well taken care of by Li Weizheng today, and if it was a small matter, he wouldn't mind lending a hand.

Li Weizheng put down his teacup and sighed heavily.

"To be honest, Brother Su, I saw your story in the newspaper a while ago, and it made me think of myself."

Su Daqiang was about to continue drinking his tea when he heard this and stopped in his tracks.

"What, your wife cheated on you too?"

Li Wei nodded, looking preoccupied.

This time, it was Su Daqiang who took the initiative.

Seeing that Li Weizheng's teacup was not full, he immediately picked up the teapot and symbolically added a little tea.

Let me explain in detail how they stole it!

"It's similar to Brother Su. You're raising someone else's son, and I'm raising someone else's daughter."

Li Wei sighed.

Su Daqiang took a sip of tea.

"You only discovered this recently?"

Li Weizheng nodded again.

"That's easy, just sue your wife for divorce."

“My wife died of illness three years ago, and her estate went to our daughter.”

Before Li Weizheng could even finish speaking, Su Daqiang had already guessed what Li Weizheng was going to say next.

"You want the inheritance back?"

Li Wei nodded emphatically.

"Sue your daughter then; at least you'll definitely get the inheritance back."

Su Daqiang's words left Li Weizheng speechless.

If I could sue you, why would I bother coming to you?
Just as she was about to tell Su Daqiang the "truth," Su Daqiang suddenly changed his mind: "No, it's not enough to just get the inheritance back. Your daughter has to support you in your old age. I've consulted a lawyer. Regardless of whether she's your biological daughter or not, she has to support you in your old age."

Li Weizheng was now in a dilemma.

He certainly couldn't tell Su Daqiang about how he had abandoned his wife and daughter to hide from debt collectors in another city for twenty years.

For now, he can only lie to Su Daqiang that he divorced his wife a long time ago and that his daughter was awarded to his wife.

Just as I was wondering how to start the conversation, Su Daqiang said something else.

What does your daughter do for a living? Does she earn a high income?

“She works at a law firm, so her income should be decent,” Li Weizheng stammered in reply.

"She's a lawyer, so she must be quite wealthy."

Before he could finish speaking, Su Daqiang suddenly realized what was happening.

Li Weizheng's daughter is a lawyer, no wonder Li Weizheng looks troubled whenever he hears about a lawsuit.

This is because they're worried about not winning the lawsuit.

Su Daqiang's eyes lit up, and he had an idea!

"Old Li, your problem is actually quite simple. What lawyers value most is their reputation. Just go to their law firm and make a scene. You're her father, even if you're not her biological son, she can't really call the police and have you arrested, right?"

All of Li Wei's carefully prepared words were useless, so he could only play along with the plan.

“I’ve already been there. We’ve completely fallen out. If I go there again, she’ll definitely call the police.”

Su Daqiang's eyes hardened.

"Then get the media to accompany you to negotiate with your daughter. At worst, we'll fight to the death."

Li Wei looked distressed and said, "I've already contacted them, but they think I'm not famous enough and that this is a personal matter with no news value."

Su Daqiang nodded subconsciously.

That's true, you're not me.

Li Weizheng suddenly reached out and grabbed Su Daqiang's right hand: "Brother Su, I'm really at my wit's end now, you have to help me!"

"I--"

Su Daqiang struggled twice but couldn't break free, cursing under his breath.

I've given you all the suggestions I can. What more do you want from me?

"Brother Su, you're so famous. If you're willing to come with me to negotiate with my daughter, the media will definitely be willing to report on this, and wouldn't that make things bigger?"

Su Daqiang's eyes widened in surprise.

I'm going to Shanghai with you to ask your daughter for money. Do you think I'm your father?

Li Weizheng continued to add to the deal: "Brother Su, don't worry, I'll cover all the expenses for the trip to Shanghai. I guarantee you'll eat and drink well along the way."

That's it?

Su Daqiang was about to refuse when he suddenly stopped.

He had actually been thinking about going to Shanghai to see Su Mingyu.

Of course, this is just a pretext.

The main reason is that Su Daqiang is not comfortable in Suzhou, and the neighbors are always gossiping.

Furthermore, Su Daqiang heard that Su Mingyu had appeared on the news on Shanghai TV, so he specially watched it in front of the TV, only to find that his name was not mentioned at all in the news.

I called Su Mingyu yesterday, but she was busy with a live stream and hung up after only a few words.

This made Su Daqiang feel even worse.

Yang Muye once said that he could also become an internet celebrity.

How come Su Mingyu can do live streaming online while I'm being "neglected"?
Su Daqiang wanted to go to Shanghai under the guise of visiting his daughter to find out what was really going on.

Besides, if I could take the opportunity to help Li Weizheng and also get some exposure in the local Shanghai media, that would be great too.

"Okay, I agree to this."

Su Daqiang's answer delighted Li Wei, who had thought he would have to use more persuasion to convince the other party.

Just as I was feeling happy, Su Daqiang's "However" arrived, albeit late.

"You probably know that my daughter is studying in Shanghai. Since I'm going to Shanghai, I definitely want to visit her first and take her out for a meal or something."

Li Weizheng knew perfectly well that Su Daqiang was making demands of him.

With a determined effort, I readily agreed.

He paid for all the expenses himself, including visiting Su Mingyu and meals.

Seeing that Li Wei was getting along with it so well, Su Daqiang nodded in satisfaction and then looked up.

"Waiter, bring another table for us—"

Li Weizheng was prepared this time and stopped Su Daqiang in time.

"Brother Su, let's not delay. Let's set off as soon as we get to Shanghai. We'll stay overnight, visit your daughter tomorrow, have dinner, and then I'll contact the reporters. We'll go to my daughter to negotiate this afternoon."

Su Daqiang's eyes darted around.

"You mean we should have dinner in Shanghai? That's fine, we should go along with whatever the host prefers."

Just then, the waiter came over.

Su Daqiang told the other party to pay the bill, and then he continued to sit there, drinking tea and eating melon seeds while stealing glances at the Pingtan actress.

Li Weizheng reluctantly got up and followed the waiter to pay the bill.

Upon learning that the meal cost nearly 500 yuan, Li Wei cursed Su Daqiang's ancestors for eighteen generations in his mind.

At the same time, I made up my mind that I would definitely take Su Daqiang to a cheap restaurant for dinner that night.

As for accommodation at night, I'll just find any decent hotel to make do.
