The Whale in the Mountains

Chapter 368 Outsider

"I'll ask you only once, who told you to move in here?"

Li Ziqing's willow brows arched, her voice turning cold.

The woman in the robe visibly tensed at her appearance, but still shouted, her voice laced with false bravado, "Who are you? Why should I tell you..."

*Slap!*

Before the woman in the robe could finish speaking, Li Ziqing slapped her across the face.

Although Li Ziqing was gentle and agreeable in front of Chen Xiao, that was only in front of Chen Xiao... In front of outsiders, she was a business magnate who controlled hundreds of billions of wealth.

Even if she didn't have the power to summon wind and rain, her aura was definitely not something this woman in a robe could compare to.

"You, why did you hit me..."

The woman in the robe covered her face, trembling.

*Slap!*

Li Ziqing slapped her again.

"Answer what I ask. I don't want to hear your nonsense!"

These two slaps made Chen Xiao's heart skip a beat, let alone the woman in the robe, who immediately cowered.

"It was Zhou Tai who told me to move in. He said this was his house..."

Li Ziqing glared fiercely, gritting her teeth as she said, "Zhou Tai?"

"Yes, it was him. If you don't believe me, I can call him right now!"

As she spoke, the woman in the robe took out her phone and dialed a number.

"Hey, Zhou Tai, where are you? I've been hit!"

"Where else would I be? I'm sleeping at home. If you've been hit, come back here immediately!"

The woman in the robe's tone was aggressive, venting the anger in her heart.

"I've called Zhou Tai. He'll be here soon!"

The woman in the robe was as terrified as a rabbit, constantly watching Li Ziqing, afraid that she would hit her again.

Li Ziqing snorted dismissively, then beckoned to Chen Xiao, "Come in and sit down."

The two walked into the house. Although anger flashed in the woman in the robe's eyes, she didn't dare to stop them. She covered her face and stood aside, like a disgruntled little wife.

Before long, a rapid screech of brakes came from outside. The woman in the robe glanced outside and immediately ran out.

"Honey, you're finally back! If you hadn't come, I would have been beaten to death!"

The woman in the robe ran towards a crew-cut young man, screaming.

The crew-cut young man was Zhou Tai. His face was full of anger as he said through gritted teeth, "Damn it, where's the person who hit you? They dare to come to our house to hit someone. Who's so bold?"

Behind Zhou Tai were two followers, each holding a baseball bat, obviously there to help the crew-cut young man beat people up.

The woman in the robe pointed inside, "They're still inside!"

"Oh, really? Let me see who's so awesome that they hit someone and don't run. You two, beat them to death for me later. I'll take responsibility if you kill them."

Zhou Tai touched his close-cropped hair, acting like a hoodlum.

The three swaggered inside. The two followers were about to attack, but Zhou Tai stopped them. "Don't move!"

The two followers and the woman in the robe were all puzzled. What was going on? Didn't he say to start hitting as soon as they came in?

Then they saw Zhou Tai smiling obsequiously at Li Ziqing, "Sis, it's you! Why didn't you tell me when you came back? I would have picked you up!"

This Zhou Tai was actually the son of Li Ziqing's second uncle. Although he called Li Ziqing "Sis," he was only three months younger than her.

Li Ziqing looked coldly at Zhou Tai.

"Zhou Tai, why is this woman living in my house, saying it's her house? I think you should give me an explanation."

Zhou Tai smiled awkwardly and said, "Sis, we're all family, why do you have to distinguish between yours and mine? Your house is empty, so I let her stay for a few days. It's no big deal, right? Look at you, why are you so angry?"

Zhou Tai's words had barely faded when Lin Xiaolian angrily said, "Zhou Tai, that's not what you said before! You said you gave me this house! What's going on? Is this your house or not?"

Zhou Tai glared fiercely at Lin Xiaolian, "Can you shut your mouth first? Do you have any sense of propriety?"

Lin Xiaolian was clearly very afraid of Zhou Tai. Although she was still sulking, she didn't dare to speak anymore.

Li Ziqing coldly glanced at the two of them and said indifferently, "I'll give you five minutes to move your things out."

Hearing this, Lin Xiaolian immediately became anxious, "We're living here comfortably. Why should we move out?"

Chen Xiao almost couldn't help but laugh. This woman had a good appearance and a good figure... but it seemed like she didn't have any brains at all!

Just because they were living comfortably, they could casually occupy someone else's house? What kind of nonsense logic was that?

Zhou Tai also said, "Sis, you're going too far, right? You don't live in this house often anyway. What's wrong with us living here? How about this, I'll book the best hotel in Weicheng for you. I'll book it for as many days as you need. How does that sound?"

"I'll say it again, I'm giving you five minutes to get out of here. You know I don't like to talk nonsense!"

Li Ziqing crossed her arms, her tone as cold as ice.

Zhou Tai's eyes narrowed slightly, and he sneered, "What if I don't move? Li Ziqing, I advise you not to take yourself too seriously. This old, dilapidated house of yours, if Xiaolian didn't like it, I wouldn't even live in it for free!"

"And don't forget, this house was given to your mother by my grandfather. In the final analysis, this is our Zhou family's house. Why should I, a Zhou, move out for you, an outsider surnamed Li?"

"It seems like I've been too nice to you. You don't know who you are anymore, do you?"

Hearing these words, Lin Xiaolian immediately became smug.

"So that's how it is. Then it seems like we're not the ones who have to move out. Someone actually said it was her house. Tsk, tsk, tsk, she really has no shame..."

Li Ziqing's face immediately filled with anger. She was about to stand up, but Chen Xiao held her down and said softly, "I can handle this little matter."

After speaking, he walked towards Zhou Tai with a smile.

"Who are you? My sister's driver?"

Zhou Tai looked at Chen Xiao with disdain. He saw that Chen Xiao was dressed plainly and assumed that Chen Xiao was just Li Ziqing's driver.

Chen Xiao said with a smile, "Who I am isn't important. What's important is that you must get out of here now. Otherwise, my wife will get angry..."
