Chapter 57: Contrast

Fang Xueyun anxiously looked at her son, unsure of what to do.

As expected, Mr. Kang's face flashed with anger, and he mockingly said, "Oh, giving you face, huh? I'd like to know who gave you the audacity to expect Director Chen to give you face! Fang Guodong, is it you?"

Fang Guodong didn't dare admit it. This was a matter that concerned his career, so he quickly explained, "Mr. Kang, please don't misunderstand. It's his personal behavior and has nothing to do with me. We will change the private room immediately to make way for Director Chen."

Fang Guodong immediately decided to leave, fearing trouble with Director Chen. Unfortunately, Mr. Kang was unwilling to accept Fang Guodong's decision to give up the private room.

With a cold sneer, Mr. Kang's tone became strange, "Now you want to leave? It's not that easy. Your junior has offended Director Chen so blatantly, he must be held accountable today. Otherwise, if Director Chen finds out that I did nothing, I don't know what she'll think of me!"

Fang Guodong didn't want to invite trouble because of this, so he sternly scolded, "Liu Hui, listen to your uncle and apologize quickly!"

"I haven't offended Chen Yixin, why should I apologize? Even if I were to apologize, she wouldn't deserve it!" Chen Yixin was considered a junior compared to Liu Hui, so asking her to give face was not a problem at all. Liu Hui naturally wouldn't apologize.

"Look, look, this is the good son you raised." Fang Guodong pointed at Fang Xueyun, his voice trembling with urgency as he saw his nephew being indifferent to money and making arrogant remarks.

In China, there has always been a deep-rooted belief among the common people that officials are superior to civilians and should not be provoked at will.

They would normally avoid a police officer, let alone offend the Director of the Public Security Bureau in Chu City.

Fang Xueyun was also frantic. She ran up to Liu Hui and pleaded anxiously, "Xiaohui, even if it's your mother begging you, please apologize to Director Chen!"

Mr. Kang looked smugly at Liu Hui, as if he had already determined that he would surely yield and apologize.

Liu Hui felt helpless and had no choice but to take out his phone and call Chen Yixin, asking her to resolve the situation.

"Hello! Mr. Liu, why do you have time to call me today?" Chen Yixin was surprised to receive a call from Liu Hui. Since curing Old Man Chen last time, Liu Hui had never contacted her.

"Today, I'm having dinner at Boya Hotel, and someone said that you were treating guests and asked us to vacate the private room. I said that you should give me face, and we are currently using this private room. But this Mr. Kang refuses to believe it and insists on making me apologize. This matter is worrying my family, so can you help explain?" Liu Hui explained anxiously.

"I'm truly sorry, I offended you, Mr. Liu! It was my subordinate who acted on their own. You can call him now, and I'll make him apologize to you!" Chen Yixin's voice contained suppressed anger, like a volcano about to erupt.

Mr. Kang on the side also heard Chen Yixin's voice, and he trembled all over, receiving the phone from Liu Hui. "Director... Director Chen!"

"Kang Quan, you did a good deed. Apologize to Mr. Liu immediately, right now! If you don't obtain Mr. Liu's forgiveness, don't appear in front of me again."

Kang Quan felt bitter in his heart and secretly blamed Liu Hui. If you had this background, why didn't you call Director Chen earlier? Why did you have to wait until something happened to make the call? He didn't consider that it was his own disbelief in Liu Hui's words, insisting on pressuring Liu Hui for an apology, that led to the situation unfolding like this.

If he had patiently inquired about Liu Hui and Chen Yixin's relationship, then nothing would have happened.

Although unwilling and reluctant in his heart, Kang Quan had no choice but to lower his head and apologize to Liu Hui in a low voice, "Mr. Liu, I'm sorry. I apologize to you. It was my fault. Please forgive me for this."

Seeing that the matter was resolved and not a big deal, Liu Hui didn't have the interest to pursue Kang Quan's responsibility.

He waved his hand casually, "Alright, let's leave it at that. You go and find another private room for Director Chen."

Kang Quan, relieved that Liu Hui didn't pursue the matter further, breathed a sigh of relief and left the private room dejectedly.

At this moment, everyone in the private room was extremely shocked, looking at Liu Hui with incredulous eyes, as if they had never known him before.

After a while, Fang Guodong finally came back to his senses. With a smile on his face, he kindly said to Liu Hui, "Xiaohui, when did you meet Director Chen? Can you introduce me?"

"Yes, Xiaohui, can you put in a good word for your uncle in front of Director Chen? Your uncle has been in this position for a long time." Even Yang Yuzhen, who had never said a kind word to Liu Hui before, squeezed out a smile and spoke with an unprecedented gentle tone.

Seeing this situation, Liu Hui became even more unwilling to reveal his relationship with Chen Lao, fearing that they would use Chen Lao's reputation to act recklessly.

So Liu Hui evaded the question, saying that they had just helped Chen Yixin with a small favor one day on the street and got along well. As for promotion matters, he couldn't say anything before Chen Yixin.

The smiles on Fang Guodong and Yang Yuzhen's faces immediately disappeared, and their tone was no longer as polite as before. However, compared to before today, their attitude had indeed improved significantly.

After all, the fact that Liu Hui had the contact number of the Director of Chu City Public Security Bureau indicated that their relationship was good, and he was no longer the kid they could easily bully.

After being brushed off by Liu Hui, the others no longer paid attention to him and resumed enjoying the delicious food in front of them. From then on, no one else came out to disturb their meal.

After leaving Boya Hotel, Fang Xueyun and Liu Hui returned home on their own. As soon as they arrived home, Fang Xueyun pulled Liu Hui to sit on the sofa, "Xiaohui, tell Mom the truth. What is your relationship with that Director of the Public Security Bureau? You may fool them, but you can't fool me."

At this moment, Liu Guosheng also heard their voices coming home and walked out of his room.

Hearing Fang Xueyun's words, he asked with surprise, "Xueyun, what Director of the Public Security Bureau?"

"This matter, you have to ask your good son!" Fang Xueyun explained the incident at Boya Hotel to Liu Guodong again.

Liu Hui clearly saw that his father, Liu Guosheng, showed no reaction at all upon hearing the name of the Director of Chu City Public Security Bureau, as if he had seen the broader world and didn't resemble an ordinary commoner.

Liu Hui had originally planned to reveal his medical skills to his parents so that they could be at ease. Of course, he couldn't disclose the matter of his immortal memory for the time being.
