I insist

Chapter 178: Getting Drunk in a Restaurant

"Grandma, why don't we have a drink with you and show us what's in your arms, okay?" the man joked, unable to suppress his loud laughter.

Song Miqiu opened her eyes groggily, looking at the overlapping figures in front of her, but the smell of alcohol in the air made her think that the other person had come to ask her to drink.

She was already a little lonely when she drank, and now that someone wanted to drink with her, Song Miqiu was more than happy to oblige.

"What is that...?" Song Miqiu couldn't hear what the other person was saying. She suddenly hiccuped and tried to push everything in front of her away.

But the men only had their eyes on the money pouch in Song Miqiu's arms.

The three of them exchanged a glance. One of them reached out his claws towards Song Miqiu's chest, while the other two stood behind him to shield him from view.

Yu Huailin stood not far from them and saw everything they did clearly.

He frowned and coldly shouted, "Stop!"

The three thugs were so startled by his shout that their hands trembled.

Song Miqiu smacked his lips, frowned, and rolled over, blocking the money bag. The thug who was about to take the money bag was startled by Yu Huailin's shout and trembled.

He turned around impatiently to look at the other person, who was a tall, thin young man with a mocking look in his eyes.

The gang leader stood in front of Song Miqiu, a toothpick dangling from his mouth. He glanced at Yu Huailin disdainfully and muttered, "He looks like a poor man."

He wasn't interested in Huai Lin; his main target was Song Miqiu.

The gang leader pointed at Yu Huailin and shouted loudly. He quickly waved his hand, urging Yu Huailin to leave with an impatient look on his face, "Don't meddle in other people's business, or I'll make you regret it!"

"Mind your own business?" Yu Huailin sneered, and said coldly, "She is my wife. How is it meddling in your affairs if I care about my wife?!"

Upon hearing this, everyone was surprised. The gang leaders exchanged glances, perhaps not expecting that Yu Huailin and the person sleeping on the table were actually husband and wife.

Those watching the scene were even more surprised by the outcome.

After all, Yu Huailin is clearly young, promising, handsome, and dashing. Even disregarding his job and background, his appearance alone would drive many girls crazy.

As it turned out, Yu Huailin revealed that the old woman on the table was actually his wife.

This is a huge joke to them!

The people eating and watching the show in the restaurant were in an uproar. They whispered among themselves and looked at Yu Huailin with strange eyes.

The gang leader was stunned for a long time, thinking he had misheard.

He glanced at the people around him with amusement, then burst out laughing, "Did I hear that right?!"

He glanced at the drunken Song Miqiu lying behind him, exchanged a smile with his companion, their eyes full of mockery.

"These days, there are actually people who can be so brazen about living off women, especially an old woman!" The gang leader could no longer contain his laughter.

With his hands on his hips and a toothpick dangling from his arm, he strode up to Yu Huailin. The thug reached out, patted the man's cheek with a smile, and asked with amusement, "So ambitious? You're just living off an old woman. How pathetic are you?"

A cold glint appeared in Yu Huailin's eyes as he stared directly at the other person.

The gang leader felt a chill run down his spine from that stare, and he made a move to continue his attack.

The moment he reached out, the gang leader's wrist was grabbed. He cursed under his breath and tried to pull his hand back, but the other man's strength was so great that he couldn't break free at all.

"Damn it, let go of me!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Yu Huailin clenched his other hand into a fist and delivered a powerful blow to the thug leader's stomach, forcing him to bend over.

"Big brother!"

The gang leader was beaten speechless. He gritted his teeth, his body went limp, and he was about to fall onto Yu Huailin, but the other man dodged to the side and avoided him.

He fell heavily to the ground, his body contorted in pain.

Yu Huailin stood to the side of the gang leader, looking down at him with a mocking expression.

He had the audacity to criticize others, a fact he had witnessed firsthand.

He heard a gust of wind from a punch beside his ear, and Yu Huailin turned his head to dodge the blow. He grabbed the hand that hit him next to his head, his eyes sharpened, and he not only swung his fist backward but also pulled the other person's arm forcefully towards himself.

The opponent lost his balance and staggered forward a few steps before being struck in the abdomen again, which he could not withstand.

The other person met the same fate. Before three cups of tea could be brewed, the three of them collapsed to the ground in a sorry state, leaving only Yu Huailin standing there.

Yu Huailin looked very relaxed, and it seemed that he didn't have to exert much effort to deal with the three of them.

The onlookers were stunned. They covered their mouths and sighed with relief that they hadn't said anything in front of him. If he had heard them talking about him, they would have been in serious trouble.

Yu Huailin took a breath and walked forward, stepping directly on the thug leader's arm as if he hadn't seen it, causing the man to scream in agony.

He strode over to Song Miqiu's side, gently grabbed her arm, and tried to carry her on his back.

Song Miqiu mumbled a few words, then groggily opened her eyes and mumbled, "Why did I dream about Yu Huailin again..."

She reached out and hooked her arm around Yu Huailin's neck, her face full of silly grins, "Yu Huailin, drink with me!"

But the person she had hooked onto didn't react at all. Song Miqiu pouted in dissatisfaction, thinking that the other person was not satisfied with her wine, and immediately asked the waiter to add a few more jars.

Before she could even utter a word, Song Miqiu's mouth was covered.

She struggled in Yu Huailin's arms in dissatisfaction.

Seeing this, Yu Huailin had no choice but to let go of the other's hand. Just as Song Miqiu punched him in the chest with her fist, she said in a slightly tearful voice, "I have money! Hurry up and drink with me!"

Upon hearing this, Yu Huailin remained silent for a moment.

He pried the hands that were firmly gripping him off, stood up, and walked toward the counter.

The shopkeeper, who had been standing behind the counter, had taken in everything that had just happened. He blinked, regained his composure, and gave the man standing in front of him an awkward smile. "Would you like to continue ordering..."

As he spoke, the shopkeeper glanced in Song Miqiu's direction.

Yu Huailin glanced back at Song Miqiu and said helplessly, "I'll pay for her table."

Upon hearing this, the shopkeeper snapped out of his daze and quickly settled the bill for the other party.

After paying for everything Song Miqiu had ordered, Yu Huailin picked her up, put her on his shoulder, and turned to leave.

The shopkeeper watched the two of them leave, muttering in confusion, "I don't think this is a case of the man living off the woman..."

He had never seen a man who was a kept man and still had so much money.
