Seeing Ye Ling and his companion leave dejectedly, Lin Dong wore a smug look on his face and sneered, "See that? People like Ye Ling dare to act tough in front of me, telling me to kneel and beg him to come back. Is he out of his mind?"
"Hehe, Mr. Lin, don't worry too much about that loser Ye Ling. Sooner or later, Su Rou will realize that you are the man who truly deserves her!" Liu Qian's eyes twinkled as she clung to him like a little girl.
The few beauties from the same class also clung to his body, toasting him, their admiring gazes filling Lin Dong with a sense of pride.
Just then, Li Tianqing suddenly entered with a wine glass in hand and loudly said, "Where is Young Master Ye? I want to toast him!"
"Young Master Ye? There is no such person here, only a loser named Ye Ling. He just offended Mr. Lin and we drove him out!" Liu Qian pouted and clicked her tongue disdainfully.
"Yeah, Tian Lord, why are you looking for that loser? He's just a live-in son-in-law of the Su family," Lin Dong shook his wine glass and stood up to toast Li Tianqing.
But Li Tianqing's face darkened, and he threw the wine in Lin Dong's face, berating, "What are you, also worthy of drinking with me?"
"Tian Lord, me?" Lin Dong looked embarrassed, then bowed and said, "Tian Lord, don't you recognize me? Didn't you send me a table full of fine wines and dishes?"
"Recognize you? Do you deserve it?" Li Tianqing scoffed, then glanced around scornfully and said coldly, "This whole table of wine and food was meant to honor Young Master Ye. You trash drove Young Master Ye away and enjoyed what I brought for him. Do you want me to kill you?"
He slammed the table, a cold gleam in his eyes that sent shivers down everyone's spines. Lin Dong quickly begged for mercy, "Tian Lord, spare us! We will bring Ye Ling back right now!"
"Yes, Tian Lord, don't worry, we are old classmates with Su Rou, we will definitely bring them back!" Liu Qian also said in a low voice, trying to appease him with a smile.
"Hmph, hurry up, and if you don't bring back Young Master Ye, I'll have you all killed!" With a roar from Li Tianqing, the crowd felt as if they had been granted a reprieve and bowed to him, then immediately rushed out of the lounge, chasing after Ye Ling and Su Rou at the entrance.
Ye Ling and Su Rou had just reached the entrance when they heard the commotion behind them. She turned around and saw Lin Dong and the others, sweating profusely as they ran toward them.
Liu Qian, with a flattering face, took a step forward and said, "Su Rou, don't rush off. We misspoke earlier; we apologize to you. We're all classmates; there's no need for such strain!"
Everyone present was shocked, and Lin Dong even said discontentedly, "Ye Ling, have you lost your mind? What kind of person is Brother Tian, the top tycoon in our business circle? Asking him to come downstairs to meet you, aren't you being too arrogant!"
"Yeah, Ye Ling, don't be mad, hurry up and go upstairs to see Brother Tian, otherwise if he gets angry, even the Su family will suffer because of you!" people whispered, shaking their heads as if looking at a madman.
Even Su Rou frowned, grabbing Ye Ling's hand, about to speak.
At that moment, the sound of footsteps thudded down the corridor, with more than twenty bodyguards clearing the way, Li Tianqing hurried downstairs and bowed deeply to Ye Ling.
"Master Ye Ling, I am truly deserving of death for not being able to meet you the moment you arrived!"
As he bowed, his entire head was a foot lower than Ye Ling's, his humble and respectful attitude almost as if he were in the presence of a king.
All those present exhibited looks of shock and astonishment.
Who in the city didn't know about Brother Tian's prestige?
And now, he was paying such respectful homage to Ye Ling, it was as if the world had turned upside down!
Lin Dong jumped in fright, he had initially thought that Ye Ling merely knew Brother Tian, but seeing how respectfully Tian treated him, if he happened to speak ill of him, wouldn't that be the end for him?
He took a step forward, thudded to his knees on the ground, and with his right hand lifted high, he briskly slapped his own face.
The loud slaps were heard by everyone present.
"Master Ye, spare my life, I will never dare to oppose you again, please just let me go as if I were nothing more than a fart!"
"Hmph, you trash, daring to oppose Master Ye!" Li Tianqing's eyes narrowed, he raised his hand signaling his men to lift him up and drag him to the stairwell and threw him out.
