Chapter 126: Chapter 126: Are You Used to Living Off of Won?
"Ah, what do you an, ’Ah’? Get out, pack your things, and leave imdiately. If you’re not gone by noon, I’ll have security throw your stuff out!" Hu Lezhi bellowed furiously.
"Manager Hu, you... Isn’t this too much?" Fang Hui pled anxiously: "I just said a few words, does it warrant such a reaction?"
Hu Lezhi shouted angrily: "Are you trying to set new rules for the mall? Is it just a few words? If I indulge you today, how can we continue to run this mall in the future? How can we establish any rules?"
Fang Hui’s face turned pale as she said in a low voice, "Manager Hu, you have a pretty good relationship with my husband, please don’t do this..."
"Don’t talk to
about that nonsense!" Hu Lezhi roared: "If your husband has a problem with it, let him co to !"
Fang Hui was completely stunned, she had thought her husband’s status could save the situation. But on second thought, a tycoon like Hu Tianrui wouldn’t take her husband seriously, would he?
Hu Xiexie snickered beside her: "Owner Fang, now tell , who is it that lacks money, education, and culture?"
Fang Hui’s face flushed red. Compared to the richest man in Nanluo City, she was absolutely poor. The words she had hurled at Hu Xiexie were now slapping her own face.
Wu Shao was dumbfounded and looked at Zhao Yu cautiously: "Yu’er, is your friend really the daughter of the richest man?"
"Of course!" Zhao Yu replied proudly: "And she has always been known as the most beautiful woman in Nanluo City too!"
Hearing this, Wu Shao was shocked, and his gaze heated up even more. The daughter of the richest man who was also the most beautiful woman - oh my god, winning over a woman like that would be the score of a lifeti!
Wu Shao whispered: "By the way, did you invite her to your birthday party?"
"Oh no, I forgot!" Zhao Yu slapped her forehead and imdiately ran over to Hu Xiexie to invite her to have lunch together at noon.
After hearing it was Zhao Yu’s birthday party, Hu Xiexie did not refuse. She picked out two outfits for Su Yang and then left with him and Zhao Yu and their group.
Wu Shao had been watching the whole affair from the sidelines. When he saw that Hu Xiexie was the one paying for the clothes, a sneer crossed his face. After all, she was still poor. Competing with a poor boy like him? Of course, he would not be afraid!
At noon, the birthday party was at Emperor Entertainnt’s luxury private room which Zhao Yu had booked.
There was a good turnout - all were friends of Zhao Yu, and many of them recognized Hu Xiexie. With the daughter of the richest man and the most beautiful woman in attendance, the atmosphere was even more lively.
However, everyone was surprised about Su Yang’s identity. Hu Xiexie had never had any boy at her side for so many years, so what was this now? Could it be that Hu Xiexie was in love?
However, so many scions of wealthy families had pursued her before, and she had never shown any interest. What was Su Yang’s status that he could earn the favor of Hu Xiexie?
Among them were several second-generation rich kids who had also hoped to pursue Hu Xiexie. Seeing Su Yang with her naturally filled them with envy. The looks they gave Su Yang were clearly unhappy and hostile.
Once everyone was seated, Wu Shao smiled and said: "I’m so sorry, we made the reservations a bit late yesterday, and the Supre Private Room had already been booked. So today, please make do with this one."
"Wu Shao, there’s no need to be polite!" A young man, Zhou Lang, imdiately said with a laugh, "The luxury private rooms at Emperor Entertainnt far surpass the Supre Private Rooms at other venues. Ordinary people can’t even book these luxury rooms. The fact that Wu Shao could book this luxury room shows just how much face Emperor Entertainnt has given you!"
With a modest face, Wu Shao said, "It’s nothing really. The manager at Emperor Entertainnt has a very good relationship with my dad. A word from , and it all gets sorted. If it weren’t for the Supre Private Room being booked by soone else, we could have been there today!"
"Isn’t the manager of Emperor Entertainnt Brother She?" Another young man, Zhao Fei, exclaid in shock, "Wu Shao, your dad has a good relationship with Brother She? My god, why didn’t you say so earlier? Brother She is one of Nanluo City’s big nas; a big shot who’s got a foot in both, the underworld and the legit world!"
"Right, I’ve also heard about it. Brother She seems to be a trusted confidant of Lord Ling, one of the underground bosses in Nanluo City. He’s been with Lord Ling for a long ti and is highly trusted by him!"
"What are you talking about? Brother She’s status is not ordinary at all. Wu Shao, with your dad’s connection to Brother She, who in Nanluo would dare to ss with you?"
The crowd gasped non-stop, and Wu Shao was looking quite proud of himself, feigning modesty as he said, "Oh, these are just empty titles, no need to ntion them. And never mind Brother She, I’ve even t Lord Ling several tis with my dad; we’re all familiar faces!"
"You guys are familiar with Lord Ling too?"
The crowd was even more shocked and awestruck, their eyes wide and mouths agape with admiration.
Wu Shao was even more pleased; these were exactly the kinds of reactions he wanted. He sneaked a glance at Hu Xiexie, wanting to see her shocked reaction to his words. But, there was no response from Hu Xiexie; she didn’t even spare him a glance, which made him feel quite annoyed.
The birthday party progressed as usual, with everyone presenting the gifts they’d bought. Hu Xiexie was no exception. While shopping at the mall, she had casually picked up two gifts, one for herself to give, and one on Su Yang’s behalf. After all, it was only proper not to show up at a birthday party empty-handed!
Zhao Yu’s face was aglow with joy as she received gifts from everyone, thanking them repeatedly.
Wu Shao, however, watched Su Yang with a cold gleam in his eye as he handed his gift to Zhao Yu, then suddenly said with a smile, "Su Yang, you must be accustod to being a kept man, right? Even in giving gifts, you need Miss Hu to prepare it for you?"
"Actually, when it cos to birthday gifts, it’s the thought that counts. As long as it’s sothing you’ve prepared with care, no matter how cheap it may be, it still represents your sentints— the thought is what matters most. But if you let soone else prepare it, no matter how expensive, can it truly represent your feelings?"
The crowd, unaware of the relationship between Su Yang and Hu Xiexie, imdiately turned to look at Su Yang, all of them intrigued. Could it be that Su Yang was really a kept man?
Hu Xiexie was the first to beco angry, retorting sharply, "What are you talking about? We bought the gift together to give to Yu’er, what’s wrong with that?"
"Miss Hu, no need to get worked up; I was just making a comnt," Wu Shao said with a smile. "Besides, if you’re the one who paid for the gift, how can you say it was bought together? Of course, if Miss Hu you don’t mind, then I won’t say another word. Co on, let’s continue celebrating Yu’er’s birthday!"
Wu Shao shifted the topic, but by then, most people were still staring at Su Yang. This man who had hooked up with the most beautiful girl was actually a kept Little White Face? That was even more detestable!
"This Brother Su seems quite unfamiliar..." Wu Shao’s lackey, Zhou Lang, said with a smile, "May I ask where Brother Su is from?"
"I’m from Nanluo City," Su Yang replied calmly.
"Nanluo City, Su Yang?" Zhou Lang scratched his head, "How co I’ve never heard of you? What does your family do?"
Su Yang glanced at Zhou Lang and said leisurely, "They used to be farrs, now they are workers."
