Lin Tao cast a glance at Gao Jun, his lips curving into a smile as he said, "Brother Gao, from the tone of your voice, it seems you’re quite dissatisfied with that Leng Xuan."
Upon hearing this, Gao Jun’s eyes imdiately shot deep resentnt, and he said through gritted teeth, "This guy has opposed several tis. If it weren’t for certain reasons, I would have dealt with him long ago."
Lin Tao nodded, his shrewdness allowing him to understand Gao Jun’s implication quite clearly. It was probably Gao Jun’s intention from the start, which is why he used the interests of those two wealthy young ladies to pique his own interest. But regardless, he was aware of the power behind Gao Jun, and he might need to rely on it in the future, so he didn’t mind doing him a favor. Thus, he patted Gao Jun on the shoulder and said, "Don’t worry, I’ll help you settle the score today, no matter what. A small fry like that dares to crawl over our heads? Impossible."
At this mont, Leng Xuan returned to his seat with his plate full of food. As he set the loaded plate on the table, Li ngjie imdiately leaned in, but upon seeing the food on the plate, she frowned and complained, "Cold Bodyguard, why is all the food so greasy? Don’t you know we need to maintain our slender figures?"
Leng Xuan shrugged his shoulders, nonchalantly replying, "If you don’t eat, nobody is going to force you."
Li ngjie huffed, grabbed a fried shrimp, and took a playful bite. While eating, she threatened, "If I get fat and no one wants , Cold Bodyguard, you definitely have to take responsibility."
Ling Xuejiu’s eyes widened upon hearing this. Was that a threat? It seed more like a bargain to him; he really didn’t know what was going on in that girl’s head. anwhile, Leng Xuan, with a smile, pushed the plate toward Li ngjie, solicitously offering, "Then you should eat more, don’t be shy. If it’s not enough, I’ll go get you more. Today, let’s aim to put on a few more pounds; I prefer won with fuller figures."
"In your dreams!" Li ngjie instantly retorted, "If you like plump that much, you might as well find a sow, that should et your standards."
Leng Xuan laughed, "Then I look forward to you turning into a sow."
"You..." Li ngjie, seeing Leng Xuan compare her to a sow, was imdiately infuriated, shooting him a fierce glare. She threw the shrimp in her hand at him, but he deftly dodged it.
Miss Ling watched Leng Xuan and Li ngjie joking without any restraint, feeling envious, jealous, and also a little lost and lancholic. A mix of complex emotions swirled inside her, bitter to the taste. She sighed softly, unsure of what was troubling her.
Just at that mont, a group of smartly dressed young n approached, and the handso leader walked straight to the couch with a gentlemanly bow, smiling, "Hello, I’m Lin Tao. May I have the pleasure of making the acquaintance of the two young ladies?"
Leng Xuan looked up, giving the group a glance, surprised in his heart. He saw that Gao Jun was also among them, and although Gao Jun’s gaze was fixed on Li ngjie and the others, he keenly caught Gao Jun’s sidelong glances at him, suggesting possible malevolence.
As for Ling Xuejiu and the others, they just slightly lifted their eyes, imperceptibly frowning, then coolly replied, "We’re sorry, we’re having a private conversation, and we’d rather not be disturbed."
