Chapter 235 You Wait
If what came before was merely sarcasm and mockery, Liao Xiao's suggestion now represents a genuine and blatant insult to one's character.
This enraged Jiang Bai, who was about to start a fight and beat those bastards so badly that even their own mothers wouldn't recognize them.
Just as Jiang Bai was about to get angry, the door to the private room suddenly opened with a "bang".
"Hey you, we're taking this room. You guys go somewhere else."
A tattooed young man in his early twenties, wearing a black vest and a black suit jacket, walked in despite the cold weather, looking sharp and stylish.
Without saying a word, he pointed at Liao Xiao, Hu Kai, and the others, and said impatiently.
Who are you?!
The moment the young man spoke, the crowd was immediately agitated, and many people in the room stood up, especially Hu Kai, who was in the center, looking furious.
This class reunion was organized by Liao Xiao, but everyone knows that Liao Xiao is now his follower. He has been supplying his father's supermarket since the year before last and is completely devoted to him. The mastermind behind this gathering is still Hu Kai.
He was just humiliating Jiang Bai, letting him get revenge for the arrow that killed him years ago, and extinguishing the last bit of hope in his wife's heart. Just as he was feeling smug, someone suddenly arrived and said this directly and bluntly.
How could Hu Kai possibly stand this?
From childhood to adulthood, how could Young Master Hu have ever suffered such humiliation?
"Who do you care who I am? What the hell are you talking about? Get the hell out of here! My boss is having dinner here later."
The tattooed man in the suit with the buzz cut spoke with extreme impatience upon hearing this.
He didn't take Hu Kai seriously at all, acting like he was chasing away a dog, much more arrogant than Hu Kai.
"Dude, you're too arrogant. Don't you know there's a proper order to things? If your boss wants to eat, he can make a reservation in advance. We were here first, and you're making us change places with just a word? Isn't that a bit much?"
Yuan Yuan stepped forward, frowned as he looked at the young man before him, and spoke in a tentative tone.
He could tell that the person in front of him was not someone to be trifled with, so he spoke politely, displaying a seasoned and experienced demeanor that made the two girls' eyes light up.
"Too much? Heh, then consider it too much. I don't want to say it a third time, so get lost!"
The young man sneered repeatedly upon hearing this, looking completely disdainful and not taking these people seriously at all; he was incredibly arrogant.
If it were Jiang Bai in the past, he probably wouldn't have been able to resist standing up and saying a few words, but now he remained silent from beginning to end.
He had already recognized the young man in front of him, even though the young man hadn't recognized him.
The two had met once before. If Jiang Bai remembered correctly, a few days ago, when Ding Si first delivered things to his home, this young man was one of the two people carrying the things behind him.
Jiang Bai knew without even thinking who the "boss" he was referring to was.
Given Ding Si's status and influence in Yangcheng, this kid may be arrogant, but he's not without the right to be.
"Kid, what are you so arrogant about! Let me tell you, I'm friends with Fatty from East City! If you want to fight, I'm not afraid of you!"
When Yuan Yuan's words had no effect, Hu Kai stood up and blurted out a name. Upon hearing the name of this chubby guy, the people around him looked at Hu Kai with even greater awe.
Fatty from the East City was a big shot in Yangcheng, and most people wouldn't dare to mess with him.
"Fatty Li from the East City? Let him come! Let's see what he can do!"
Upon hearing this, the young man on the other side was taken aback at first, then said disdainfully.
This really scared Hu Kai. Wasn't Li Pangzi just Fatty's name? But most people wouldn't dare to call him that.
Anyone who dares to call him that is someone Hu Kai definitely can't afford to offend.
But now, even if he wants it, he has no choice but to bite the bullet and resist. He was just mocking Jiang Bai, having put in so much effort and done so many things, and the wonderful feeling was only enjoyed for two minutes before it was interrupted.
This made Hu Kai feel very embarrassed.
He had to put on a brave face in front of so many people, otherwise he would lose all face.
"Kid, I've seen plenty of braggarts, but I've never seen anyone as boastful as you. If you're looking for trouble, don't blame me. Should I call Fatty right now?"
Taking a deep breath, Hu Kai forced a calm, cold laugh.
The main problem is that society is too superficial, with many people who like to boast. More importantly, the person who came was too young.
Hu Kai thought the young man in his twenties was bragging, but if the other person looked to be in his thirties or forties, he would be more cautious.
"Then go ahead and hit me!"
To Hu Kai's surprise, the other party was not at all hesitant and showed no fear whatsoever, giving a cold laugh and speaking with considerable disdain.
This put Hu Kai in a rather awkward position, his expression instantly stiffening, as he wasn't actually very familiar with this chubby guy.
They had only eaten together twice. The other person was fairly familiar with one of his rich friends, and could only be described as a casual acquaintance with him.
However, the other party was renowned, so Hu Kai was just showing off. Now, if he were actually asked to make the call, he would be a little apprehensive.
Whether the other party will help is another matter, since the two are not very familiar with each other.
"You wait!"
Hu Kai glared at the young man and then started making a phone call.
A moment later, the call connected, and Hu Kai immediately changed his demeanor. Gone was his previous arrogance; he smiled obsequiously and said, "Brother Pang, Brother Pang, hello, this is Xiao Hu... Hu Kai... yes, yes... the Hu Kai who owns the supermarket. Yeah, that's right..."
When the call connected, Hu Kai gave his name in a flattering manner. The person on the other end paused for a moment before remembering. After exchanging a few words, Hu Kai began to explain the situation on his end.
After exchanging a few more words, Hu Kai straightened up and gave the young man in front of him a cold look: "You, Fatty wants you to answer the phone!"
His attitude had completely changed from before, his arrogance turning into obsequiousness, which Jiang Bai found somewhat comical, as if this fat man had given him enough confidence to straighten his back.
He thought the other party would back down immediately, but to his surprise, the young man sneered disdainfully, walked over casually, and took the phone: "What, Fatty Li, Fourth Master and President Gong are having dinner, can't you even ask your friend to give up a table? Are you making me answer the phone to teach me a lesson?"
Hu Kai was stunned by what he said.
"Fourth Master?"
In Yangcheng, there is only one person who deserves this title.
Thinking of this, Hu Kai's face turned pale. He wasn't stupid; he had already guessed whose people this young man was.
Not only him, but also Yuan Yuan, Liao Xiao, Niu Yang, and others—anyone who works in Yangcheng would turn pale upon hearing this title.
As for that Mr. Gong?
Who else could it be but the mayor's son?
Chapter 236 Completely Wrong
Compared to Ding Si, Gong Xiaoquan's reputation was not prominent; he was not as flamboyant, nor was he widely known.
In Yangcheng, anyone with a bit of status knows this CEO Gong.
Mayor Gong has been in charge of Yangcheng for eight years, and his influence is deeply entrenched. Gong Xiaoquan has developed his business in Yangcheng and has a great reputation.
His close relationship with Ding Si was no secret.
The young man's two short sentences—one from the Fourth Master and the other from President Gong—immediately sent chills down Hu Kai and his group's spines.
Not only them, but the chubby guy that Hu Kai had just found, who was all high and mighty and had gotten the other party to answer the phone, immediately chickened out.
"Haha, haha... Who do we have here? It's Xiao Qu. How can I accept such a compliment? I wouldn't dare to challenge Master Ding or President Gong. You're slapping me in the face."
"Well... Hu Kai, I'm not actually that familiar with him. You can do whatever you want with him. Just give my regards to Fourth Master and President Gong. I'll treat you to dinner sometime."
After saying that, without waiting for Xiao Qu to speak, the fat guy on the other end hung up.
This made Hu Kai and the others turn even paler.
"Alright, I'm not going to waste my breath on you. Get lost. My boss is almost here, I don't have time for your nonsense! Don't let me run into you again..."
Xiao Qu hung up the phone and casually tossed it to Hu Kai, who was standing not far away, saying impatiently.
Although his words were still arrogant, no one present dared to utter a sound. Some people were still indignant, but when someone next to them came over and said a few words, they immediately backed down.
There were twenty or thirty people in the room, more than half of whom were men, and the other party was just one person, yet no one dared to utter a sound.
"Why hasn't Xiao Qu sorted it out yet? You were fine when I asked you to book a room, but now look what happened! Someone has taken it. Master Ding and President Gong are already downstairs, and the VIPs will be here soon. If you can't even handle this small matter, be careful that Master Ding finds out and skins you alive!"
Just then, a voice rang out, and the next second, another young man, a few years older than Xiao Qu, about twenty-five or twenty-six years old, walked in, saying with dissatisfaction as he walked.
"We've arrived already?" Xiao Qu's expression changed.
"Get out of here!"
He pointed at the people inside the house and shouted, his face already showing impatience.
"Let's go, let's go right away."
At this moment, Hu Kai could no longer be arrogant. He nodded quickly, as docile as a lamb. After saying this, he was about to lead everyone away, and he no longer remembered anything about insulting Jiang Bai.
All he wants now is to get out of this troublesome place as soon as possible.
Just as the group was about to slink away, the young man who had entered saw Jiang Bai. He was taken aback at first, then his expression changed several times in an instant. He rubbed his eyes and asked tentatively, "Jiang? Mr. Jiang?"
Xiao Qu was startled by Jiang Bai's words and quickly turned around to look at him. She was also taken aback, and then her expression changed several times.
"Mr. Jiang, I just…I…"
Xiao Qu was no longer as arrogant as before. When she saw Jiang Bai, her expression changed drastically. She looked flustered and stammered as she tried to explain, but she was too nervous to speak.
He didn't know anything about Jiang Bai's background or identity. Although both of them were Ding Si's confidants, Ding Si couldn't possibly explain everything to them clearly.
Especially for such a major event.
But they weren't stupid; having followed Ding Si to Jiang Bai's house, they naturally saw Ding Si's behavior.
What kind of person is the boss?
The chairman of Yangcheng Hongyun Group, a well-known figure, became an even more influential person in Yangcheng after his legal career was cleaned up.
Even someone like Gong Xiaoquan had to be a little afraid of Ding Si.
In the years they had followed Ding Si, they had never seen him so humble towards anyone.
Even with those high-ranking leaders, Ding Si remained neither humble nor arrogant.
But regarding this Mr. Jiang...
To put it nicely, that's called pandering.
To put it bluntly, it's practically groveling!
His parents aren't even as old as his fourth uncle, yet he calls them uncle and aunt.
And the way they called her was so affectionate.
He was so filial.
My own parents have never been this filial.
Xiao Qu, this close follower, saw all of this and kept it in mind.
He had only met Jiang Bai once, so he didn't have a deep impression of what Jiang Bai looked like. More importantly, Jiang Bai was standing in the corner, and he didn't notice him for a moment, which is why he was so arrogant.
Thinking about her attitude and arrogant demeanor just now, Xiao Qu wanted to slap herself twice.
Fourth Master once taught me: "Young man, don't be too arrogant!"
He considered himself a close confidant of the Fourth Master and acted arrogantly and domineeringly in Yangcheng. Now he's met his match.
Thinking back to what I just said, how dare I speak to Mr. Jiang and his friend like that?
If this gets out, even without Mr. Jiang lifting a finger, Fourth Master will skin him alive.
Xiao Qu knew this Master Ding very well; he was ruthless towards anyone, and if you really offended his interests, skinning you alive would be the least of your worries.
Thinking of this, Xiao Qu turned pale and couldn't utter a word.
This scene was clearly seen by everyone present, and Hu Kai and the others were all stunned.
Isn't Jiang Bai a security guard in Tiandu? How does he know Master Ding's men?
Still calling him Mr. Jiang?
Judging from their appearance... they seem quite scared?
This caused a group of students to momentarily freeze in their minds, unable to process what was happening.
A classmate from the bottom of society, a security guard, suddenly transforms into Mr. Jiang.
How...how is this possible?
However, compared to the astonishment and fear of Hu Kai and the others, the others clearly breathed a sigh of relief.
It's embarrassing to come to a class reunion, not only not get to eat, but also be chased away like a dog.
Judging from their attitude towards Jiang Bai now, at least they've saved face.
Some people even started to plot in their minds: Jiang Bai seemed to be no ordinary person; he actually knew Master Ding's men. They figured they'd definitely try to get closer to Jiang Bai once this was over.
In fact, apart from Hu Kai, Yuan Yuan, and Liao Xiao, who were all pale-faced, everyone else had some similar thoughts to varying degrees.
Even Ni Ni, standing next to Hu Kai, had a different look in her eyes, her almond-shaped eyes looking at Jiang Bai, and it was unclear what she was thinking.
I thought this matter would end there. I thought that the arrogant kid who insulted everyone would apologize and Jiang Bai would resolve the issue.
But soon, these people realized they were wrong, terribly wrong.
Jiang Bai didn't just resolve the matter with a smile, kicking the arrogant young man out before returning to his seat and making a strong comeback. Instead, he revealed his identity and shared a surprising piece of recent information unknown to others.
Then, the classmates complemented each other well, Hu Kai and the others left in a sorry state, while they and their friends reconnected with Jiang Bai and rekindled their friendship...
Finally, everyone had a pleasant conversation, drank together, and then Jiang Bai left his phone number.
From then on, everyone kept in touch, and Jiang Bai generously helped his classmates, and so on.
None of the scenarios they had imagined happened!
Chapter 237 I was just passing by; I don't know them.
Upon seeing Xiao Qu's appearance, Jiang Bai immediately reached out to stop her from continuing.
Instead of blaming them, he said noncommittally, "Well... I was just passing by, I don't know them."
Xiao Qu was stunned by what he said, and the young man next to him also looked puzzled.
I don't understand what Jiang Bai meant by saying that.
They're not stupid. When they arrived, they already knew that this was a group of young people from No. 3 Middle School having some kind of class reunion.
The two best halls are named Wealth and Glory.
The Grand Hall on the fourth floor is used for official receptions by several government leaders. Naturally, they wouldn't want to disturb them, so they came here instead.
They already knew what Jiang Bai was doing here.
Xiao Qu just didn't understand why Jiang Bai would say that.
Don't you want to make yourself look bad? Don't you want to offend Master Ding?
Come on, if someone else did this, Xiao Qu would really think that way.
But what about this Mr. Jiang in front of me?
If it weren't for the huge age gap and Mr. Jiang's youth, Fourth Master would have been eager to kneel down and call him "father."
Would he, an old man, care about a mere follower of the Fourth Prince?
I doubt even the powerful Master Ding would care much.
"Jiang Bai, we're old classmates! What do you mean by that? How can you say you don't know me?"
Before Xiao Qu and the others could react to Jiang Bai's words, the people on the other side immediately couldn't stand it. One of the boys stood up, pointed at Jiang Bai, and shouted, looking very angry.
He completely forgot that he was the one laughing the loudest when Hu Kai and the others were teasing Jiang Bai.
At this point, why did he bring up the topic of their classmate relationship with Jiang Bai?
"No, I wouldn't dare. I, Jiang Bai, am not worthy of being old classmates like you. Just now you even asked me to sit on the sofa to eat, and I saw that you didn't object and were laughing quite happily. Why are you suddenly thinking about old classmates now? I'm not familiar with you at all."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Bai sneered and responded with disdain.
He may seem easygoing, but he's actually the hardest to fool. He'll repay any kindness shown to him and avenge any wrong done to him.
Jiang Bai was extremely disgusted with the attitude of these people just now.
I only inherited the memories, and was more or less affected by them, and had a tiny bit of childhood friendship.
It has long since vanished, and now it's no different from a stranger.
Since that's the case, Jiang Bai naturally wouldn't be polite.
These words left Xiao Qu somewhat bewildered. Fortunately, the young man next to her reacted quickly, moved closer to Xiao Qu, and nudged her with his elbow.
Xiao Qu finally realized what was happening.
He wasn't stupid. Although Jiang Bai hadn't said it explicitly, he had roughly guessed what was going on.
It must be because Mr. Jiang didn't want to reveal his identity. These arrogant people looked down on Mr. Jiang and even insulted him, so Mr. Jiang got angry.
Since that's the case, Xiao Qu didn't bother with politeness. He rolled up his sleeves and immediately revealed a cold smile: "You bunch of bastards, shut the hell up! Anyone who says another word will be kept in the house!"
"Who do you think you are, daring to eat here? Get out of here right now! You try staying a minute longer!"
Xiao Qu was originally Ding Si's henchman, and playing the role of a lackey was his forte; he portrayed the character perfectly.
Extremely arrogant.
"Don't let them leave. Didn't these people just ask me to squat down and eat by the table? Help them prepare some food. Let them eat by the door before they leave."
As soon as Xiao Qu said this, Jiang Bai immediately spoke up.
roll?
Are we just going to let this go like this?
Dream on.
Since you, Hu Kai, dare to do the first thing, Jiang Bai can definitely do the fifteenth.
He pointed to Hu Kai, Yuan Yuan, Liao Xiao, and a few others who had been laughing the loudest earlier.
Xiao Qu immediately understood and shouted towards the door. Then, seven or eight men in black rushed in, grabbed the seven or eight people Jiang Bai pointed out without saying a word, and tried to drag them out by the neck.
"Master Jiang, what do you want us to eat? There's plenty of food in the restroom; I'll go arrange it right now."
Xiao Qu immediately moved closer to Jiang Bai and asked with a fawning expression.
One sentence caused Hu Kai and the others' expressions to change drastically, and the expressions of the others who were not named were also not good.
"Jiang Bai, we're all classmates, there's no need to go so far. Hu Kai and the others were wrong just now. Let them apologize to you, and that'll be the end of it."
Niu Yang spoke again, expressing his dissatisfaction with Jiang Bai's actions, just as he had expressed to Hu Kai earlier.
Jiang Bai chuckled at this and ignored it. Just now, when you, Niu Yang, spoke, Hu Kai didn't respond, and you didn't continue either.
What? Do you think I, Jiang Bai, am easy to bully? You think I'll agree to anything you say?
"They're all my classmates, don't be so mean... Let's get some dog food instead, um, three servings each, you can't leave until you finish it all."
Jiang Bai completely ignored Niu Yang and simply said this.
Xiao Qu immediately agreed happily, and then led the group outside.
As for the remaining young man, he did not leave, but remained standing there, waiting for Jiang Bai's instructions.
"These people are all my classmates, but I'm not familiar with them. You can decide what to do. Just pretend I was never here."
Jiang Bai glanced at Niu Yang and his group indifferently and said noncommittally.
The young man was quite tactful. Although he knew Jiang Bai didn't like these so-called classmates, he didn't hate them to the point of disgust. At most, he just didn't want to have anything to do with them.
But no matter what, these people all know Jiang Bai, so we can't make things too ugly for them.
So they were politely asked to leave, and the waiter was instructed to book a room on the second floor. They were then allowed to leave, and the matter of paying the bill was never mentioned.
"Oh, right, let this young lady stay. When Ding Si and the others arrive, we can have a meal together."
Jiang Bai's words made the faces of the group of classmates look rather unpleasant. Just as they were about to leave, they suddenly heard Jiang Bai say something else, and everyone present changed color.
Several people opened their mouths, as if to say something, but ultimately remained silent under the menacing gazes of the men in black.
He glanced at Ni Ni with a sorrowful look in his eyes, then left.
In their view, Ni Ni would not escape Jiang Bai's clutches tonight.
In many people's minds, Jiang Bai has become a vicious and ruthless bully.
As for Ni Ni herself, she was first stunned, and then her expression changed several times in the blink of an eye, her face turning slightly flushed and somewhat conflicted.
She thought to herself that Jiang Bai had changed, to the point that she didn't even recognize her anymore, and that she was far superior to her wealthy husband, Hu Kai.
She was already feeling some regret, and other thoughts began to surface in her mind.
Chapter 238 Brother Wu is so thoughtful
If Jiang Bai were to secretly contact her after this incident, Ni Ni herself couldn't guarantee that nothing would happen between them.
She had a slight crush on Jiang Bai back in school, but later, due to the realities of life, she chose to cut off all contact with Jiang Bai and instead fell into Hu Kai's arms.
But the premise is that Hu Kai is better than Jiang Bai, richer than Jiang Bai, and can better meet her living needs.
However, today, Jiang Bai's sudden change made Ni Ni realize that the Jiang Bai she remembered, who was a good-for-nothing and penniless, had long since changed.
Now he is able to associate with the famous Master Ding of Yangcheng.
If she said she didn't have any thoughts of rekindling her relationship with Jiang Bai, she wouldn't believe it herself.
Just a moment ago, Ni Ni even thought about how she should accept Jiang Bai's invitation after today so as not to seem too eager.
How can she rekindle Jiang Bai's feelings for her and get them together?
No matter what happens, she might divorce Hu Kai or marry Jiang Bai.
But how can you bring something like this out into the open?
Jiang Bai called me over in front of so many people, wouldn't everyone know about this?
What do the classmates think? What does Hu Kai think?
What will I do in the future?
Ni Ni hesitated for a moment.
But now she knows she has to make a choice.
If she leaves now, Jiang Bai probably won't contact her again.
If we don't leave... then we might still have a chance.
After thinking for a long time, Ni Ni finally remained silent and just stood there quietly.
The people nearby glanced at Jiang Bai, then at Ni Ni, and finally hesitated, then left silently without saying a word.
The parties involved are not protesting, so what right do they have to meddle in other people's business?
Moreover, it's obvious to everyone that Jiang Bai is not someone to be trifled with.
A moment later, the group left, and a group of waiters rushed in and cleaned the room thoroughly.
Jiang Bai gestured for Ni Ni to sit down, then sat down without saying a word.
Ni Ni opened her mouth, but ultimately didn't say anything, and just sat there silently.
In fact, Jiang Bai had thought it through very clearly; he had absolutely no feelings for Ni Ni.
If Jiang Bai didn't retaliate after Hu Kai's treatment of him, he wouldn't be Jiang Bai.
He didn't actually plan to do anything; he just wanted Ni Ni to stay there, get her a room for the night, and that would be it.
As for what will happen to the couple in the future, that's beyond Jiang Bai's control.
Anyway, the parties involved didn't object, right?
If Ni Ni had righteously refused just now, and Jiang Bai wasn't a bully who preyed on men and women, he naturally wouldn't have stopped her from remaining faithful.
But Ni Ni clearly had ulterior motives, so she can't be blamed for being ruthless.
If he had done anything wrong, Jiang Bai could only silently apologize in his heart.
Who told your man to cause trouble for no reason?
A few minutes later, Gong Xiaoquan and Ding Si, who were standing at the door, walked in with a middle-aged man on either side. When they saw Jiang Bai, the two of them were clearly taken aback.
Ding Si quickly realized what was happening and said to the middle-aged man next to him, "Mr. Liu, this is Mr. Jiang, a good friend of Mr. Wu. You mentioned on your way here that you were going to visit him tomorrow. I didn't expect him to be here."
One sentence immediately brought a bright smile to the face of the middle-aged man who had been somewhat surprised.
He quickly shook off the two people accompanying him, walked up to Jiang Bai, bent over and stretched out his hands, and said with a fawning expression, "Hello, Mr. Jiang, I am Liu Jun, deputy director of the public relations department of Binhai Tianci Group. Mr. Wu heard that you have returned home and specially asked me to visit you and buy some New Year's goods for your parents."
After saying that, he quickly waved his hand, and the person following him came over carrying a box.
Upon opening the suitcase, an exquisite transparent glass box appeared before Jiang Bai, containing a large ginseng root that appeared to be at least a hundred years old.
"Mr. Jiang, this is a ginseng from Changbai Mountain that Mr. Wu specially asked someone to find. It's a ginseng from Changbai Mountain that's at least 300 years old. It's very hard to find now. He asked me to bring it over so that the two elders can make medicinal wine."
"Brother Wu is so kind. Please thank him for me later. We're all family, why is he being so polite with me?"
Jiang Bai smiled and waved his hand. The reason he stayed here earlier was not because he knew the person was looking for him, but because he wanted to sow discord between Hu Kai and Hu Kai and deliberately make Hu Kai look bad in front of everyone.
He had already planned it out in his mind: if Gong Xiaoquan and Ding Si's guests arrived, he would find an excuse to say hello and then leave.
However, it seems that it is no longer needed now.
"What are you saying, Mr. Jiang? Mr. Wu said he wouldn't stand on ceremony with you, but since it's the New Year, how could I visit you two elders without bringing something?"
Liu Jun said with a smile.
Afterwards, Ding Si and Gong Xiaoquan naturally invited Jiang Bai to sit down, placing him in the seat of honor.
During the meal, the two men glanced at Ni Ni hesitantly, but ultimately remained silent.
The person was brought by Jiang Bai, but her status was significantly lower than that of Lin Wanru, whom they had met before.
The two people, curious about why Jiang Bai's tastes had changed, dared not utter a word.
Seeing that Jiang Bai ignored Ni Ni, neither of them dared to speak.
As for Liu Jun, who was completely unaware of the situation but was a shrewd individual, he didn't mention a word about him.
The group enjoyed the meal, with three of them fawning over Jiang Bai, leaving Ni Ni, who was standing nearby, dumbfounded.
She had never heard of Liu Jun or Binhai Tianci Group, but she knew that Tianci Group seemed to be a fairly large company and was quite famous in China.
I know nothing else.
However, having followed Hu Kai for so long, she was quite shrewd and had seen the world. She had naturally heard of Master Ding of Yangcheng and President Gong of Taiping Real Estate.
If you haven't heard of Master Ding in Yangcheng, you might as well not be in the game.
Although Master Ding had long since transcended the low-level thugs and no longer engaged in any illegal or disorderly activities, he was still the top figure in the entire Yangcheng underworld, a fact that no one could dispute.
With immense wealth and power, he seizes from others, and is inherently ruthless. Having built his wealth step by step, he naturally inspires fear.
As for Gong Xiaoquan, this unscrupulous businessman from Taiping Real Estate, as one of the largest developers in the area and the mayor's son, his reputation is actually no less than Ding Si's.
Even if she didn't know these two people personally, she had heard of them.
Knowing what level those people were at, her father-in-law, with his limited abilities, probably wouldn't even have the right to speak in front of these two.
As for Hu Kai?
Come on, what skills could a spoiled brat possibly have? How could he be compared to these two?
Chapter 239 Ni Ni's Thoughts
Even second-generation rich kids are ranked.
Undoubtedly, Gong Xiaoquan is also a typical spoiled brat.
In essence, he is no different from Hu Kai.
As for their quality, the difference is huge; they're not even in the same league.
Ni Ni was well aware of this.
Seeing how the two people fawned over Jiang Bai, Ni Ni found Jiang Bai increasingly mysterious and pleasing to the eye.
In his mind, Jiang Bai's status continued to rise.
Ni Ni knew the age of Jiang Bai's parents. They were classmates, and she had a good relationship with Jiang Bai back then. She even visited Jiang Bai's home twice. Naturally, she knew that Jiang Bai's parents were actually younger than this Master Ding.
But look at this guy, and Liu Jun, who's about the same age as him, calling him "uncle" and "aunt" like they're closer than their own parents... that's enough to show how much Jiang Bai is in their hearts.
Although Jiang Bai didn't speak to her during their conversation, Ni Ni thought that Jiang Bai was angry because she hadn't spoken up to stop Hu Kai's behavior.
Deep down, she must still have some thoughts about herself.
Otherwise, why would I stay?
Thinking of this, Ni Ni obediently remained silent, watching the group chat with a faint smile on her face, behaving generously and appropriately.
He would wait until the meal was over and Jiang Bai revealed his other intentions before explaining the situation to him.
As for how to explain it, Ni Ni already had a plan in mind.
Naturally, it was because her mother was ill and she had nowhere else to turn. Out of desperation, she married Hu Kai under duress and coercion.
Deep down, she didn't want to. For years, she had lived under his tyranny, suffering all kinds of humiliation, but she dared not utter a sound, which is why she hadn't spoken just now.
Ni Ni had already thought these things through; whether they were true or false was no longer important.
As long as Jiang Bai doesn't investigate, then this matter is true.
Even if Jiang Bai finds out something, Ni Ni believes she can still handle the situation.
As for what happened just now, I naturally had no idea.
As for why she didn't speak up for Jiang Bai, it must be because she still had feelings for him. Hu Kai knew this in her heart, and she was afraid that her words would have the opposite effect, so she remained silent.
She considered all of these things very thoroughly.
As for the awkward situation she was facing, Ni Ni didn't seem to care.
Although none of Jiang Bai and the other three had said a word to her from beginning to end, Ni Ni remained calm and composed, sipping her food with an air of utter composure.
As for her husband Hu Kai, the fact that he was being forced to eat dog food by Xiao Qu in public seemed to have never happened.
The meal ended quickly. There weren't many people to begin with, and after about an hour and finishing two bottles of liquor, the group concluded their meal.
During that time, the young man with Xiao Qu came in once and whispered in Ding Si's ear. Ding Si waved his hand, and the young man nodded and left. In the instant the door opened and closed, Jiang Bai vaguely saw several tall girls.
Perhaps because he was there, Ding Si took away all the girls he had originally arranged.
Jiang Bai didn't point this out.
After the meal, Ding Si thought for a moment and suggested going out for some fun.
Gong Xiaoquan and Ding Si, being semi-locals, naturally extended a warm invitation as well.
They didn't have high hopes for Jiang Bai's attendance; it was just a polite invitation.
Surprisingly, Jiang Bai agreed.
This delighted the two men, who saw it as Jiang Bai showing them closer affection. Naturally, they didn't dare to be careless and immediately made arrangements before leaving the house.
When I came downstairs, two Mercedes-Benz cars and two minivans were already waiting there.
A dozen or so men in black stood there waiting, while in a black minivan, several pretty girls were busy putting on makeup.
It's not hard to guess that these are the same people who were about to go upstairs but were chased away by Ding Si because Jiang Bai was there.
I didn't expect they hadn't left yet.
Although the scene was jarring, it was also normal.
The only unusual thing was the row of people squatting on the left side of the hotel entrance.
Hu Kai, Yuan Yuan, Liao Xiao, and several others were prominently featured.
"Hurry up! You fucking eat faster! It's been an hour and you've only eaten a little over two packets!"
"And another thing, you better lift your head up! Who the hell told you to bow your head! Hurry up and lift your head to eat!"
Each person had several large bags of dog food beside them. Xiao Qu was standing there yelling and shouting, slapping and kicking a few people every now and then, demanding that they raise their heads and speed up.
They showed no mercy when they attacked, and almost everyone was injured.
This "Wealth and Glory" property is located in a bustling downtown area, with people and vehicles constantly coming and going in front of it.
In addition, it is currently the busiest time of night, around eight or nine o'clock, when the flow of people is even greater.
The fact that several people were forced to eat dog food with their heads up immediately attracted a large crowd.
To be honest, several of them felt like dying.
Yangcheng is not a large place, with only a million people in the urban area, so any news spreads extremely quickly.
It's not hard to guess that soon, their actions will become the talk of the town.
Regardless of how this matter is resolved today, they will never be able to show their faces in Yangcheng again. Several of them have already started planning to leave Yangcheng as soon as the New Year is over.
"Ni Ni?"
Hu Kai, who was squatting there eating dog food with tears streaming down his face and snot streaming down his face, subconsciously prepared to stand up when he saw his wife Ni Ni and Jiang Bai come out together.
Unfortunately, before he could stand up, Xiao Qu slapped him on the head and yelled, "Get down here, you son of a bitch!"
So Hu Kai didn't dare to get up anymore. He just stared wide-eyed at Jiang Bai, then at Ni Ni, who looked indifferent as if she hadn't seen anything. His eyes were full of disbelief.
"Hey old classmate... I went out with Ni Ni. She probably won't be home tonight, she'll be back tomorrow. Please bear with her."
Despite seeing Ni Ni standing next to Jiang Bai at a very close distance, with one of her hands even linked with Jiang Bai's arm, Hu Kai still held onto hope.
However, when Jiang Bai stood at a distance and said those words with a laugh, Hu Kai felt as if he had fallen into an ice cave, his face filled with despair and resentment.
He wanted to stand up, but he was afraid of Xiao Qu and dared not stand up.
I want to open my mouth, but when the words are on the tip of my tongue, I don't know how to say them.
He just stared intently at Ni Ni with his eyes.
I hope she will speak out in protest, or give some reason that she has no other choice.
Unfortunately, to his disappointment, Ni Ni seemed to completely ignore him, not saying a word, and instead asked Jiang Bai with a smile, "Where are we going later?"
One sentence plunged Hu Kai into despair, as if his world had collapsed.
