Hao Jian finished his al and then started to create a ruckus.
He discovered that there were actually many famous individuals present, which left him utterly astonished, and he went about greeting each one of them and lavishing them with flattery, acting as if he were an old acquaintance.
And those individuals, they all had a look of utter exasperation, knowing full well that Hao Jian was sucking up to them, but his flattery was so lacking in style, wasn't it?
Everyone got the sa line, "I've long admired your great na; it's as thunderous as a piercing boom. Today, eting you is a fortune of three lifetis!" Couldn't he co up with sothing new?
The entire banquet was in chaos because of Hao Jian hopping around like a damned monkey, turning a gathering among the elite into a complete shambles, making it feel downright low-class.
And seeing this, Ye Wenying was about to explode with rage. If he had known this would happen, he wouldn't have invited Hao Jian at all to save himself from this embarrassnt.
With Hao Jian making the banquet like this, many guests were sowhat displeased inside, and so even harbored resentnt towards him, feeling that he had invited such a nuisance on purpose to annoy them.
Mainly, Ye Wenying hadn't expected Hao Jian to be so shaless. In his view, as soone of superior status, Hao Jian should at least care about saving his own face; such actions were considered unimaginable.
But the result was Ye Wenying had miscalculated; Hao Jian was even more shaless than he had imagined.
"Damn it!" Ye Wenying strode towards Hao Jian, intending to stop him from causing further chaos, or else the banquet would really be ruined by him.
Just as Hao Jian was tirelessly pestering Feng Dagang, professing his admiration, Ye Wenying's hand landed on his shoulder.
"Stop it!" Hao Jian gave his shoulder a shake and flung off Ye Wenying's hand. Then, as if he didn't see Feng Dagang's increasingly dark expression, he continued blabbering his aningless drivel.
Ye Wenying, standing behind him, had his face turn dark as well—did this guy just ignore him?
Ye Wenying reached out his hand again, and this ti, the grip on Hao Jian's shoulder was significantly firr.
"Who's that? Slapping soone's shoulder like that, have you no manners?" Hao Jian felt it too and turned around impatiently, glaring at Ye Wenying.
But imdiately after, Hao Jian was taken aback.
Seeing Hao Jian's bewildered look, Ye Wenying also let out a cold snicker. This guy must have recognized him by now, right?
Seeing that Hao Jian was stunned into silence, no longer daring to act foolishly, Ye Wenying couldn't help but feel sowhat smug.
But then, Hao Jian's expression suddenly changed, with a smile plastered on his face, he grasped Ye Wenying's hand, oozing enthusiasm, "Aren't you that so-and-so? Ah, I've long admired your great na; it's as thunderous as a piercing boom. Today, eting you is a fortune of three lifetis!"
"Pfft!"
Not far away, Murong Qiushui, who had been drinking and ready to enjoy the show, couldn't help but spray out his drink upon hearing Hao Jian's words and burst into uncontrollable laughter.
At this mont, Ye Wenying's face was as black as a cauldron. I've long admired your great na; it's as thunderous as a piercing boom. Today, eting you is a fortune of three lifetis?
Damn, it turned out Hao Jian hadn't recognized him, otherwise, he wouldn't have spouted such inane nonsense!
You have no idea who I am, and yet you dare to say you've long admired my great na? Ye Wenying was infuriated. This imbecile was utterly disrespectful. After all, he was currently his enemy. Couldn't he take the ti to learn a little about his enemy, or would that kill him?
Hao Jian didn't even know what he looked like; how much could he possibly disregard him!
And those guests who had been subjected to Hao Jian's "I've long admired your great na; it's as thunderous as a piercing boom. Today, eting you is a fortune of three lifetis!" were now fixating on Hao Jian with resentnt. Initially, they felt sowhat flattered by his flattery, but now it seed Hao Jian probably didn't even know who they were, plainly talking nonsense.
"Who on earth is this guy? Why is he so bizarre?"
"He looks a bit familiar to , kind of like Hao Jian."
"Hao Jian? The freak who single-handedly took down the four major families of Hua City?"
"That's right, it's him! I recognize him now, but aren't he and Ye Wenying sworn enemies? Didn't he burn down Ye Wenying's stronghold in Hua City? Why would he show up here? Surely, the two sides haven't reconciled, have they?"
Everyone was puzzled; they all knew there was so bad blood between Hao Jian and Ye Wenying. Under such circumstances, why would Hao Jian appear here, was it to provoke Ye Wenying deliberately?
At that mont, Murong Qiushui walked up to him and whispered in Hao Jian's ear, "That's Ye Wenying!"
Upon hearing this, Hao Jian's face once again showed shock.
Ye Wenying, growing impatient, thought: Can you let go of my hand now?
He really didn't like physical contact with others, especially n, and even more so with n he despised.
But Hao Jian was still holding onto his hand, and this was causing Ye Wenying great annoyance.
After a mont of being stunned, the expression on Hao Jian's face beca even more enthusiastic, and he started vigorously shaking Ye Wenying's hand, "So you're the Third Young Master Ye? I've long admired you, truly, it's such a pleasure. What an honor that you've invited
to your banquet, such a great honor!"
Everyone was speechless; how could this guy's skin be so thick? Clearly having an irreconcilable feud with Ye Wenying, yet he claid to have long admired her?
But what puzzled them even more was why Ye Wenying would invite Hao Jian. When had the two of them made peace?
And so began to wonder if Ye Wenying had invited Hao Jian because she was afraid of him and wanted to reconcile. Otherwise, why would she invite him?
The reason Ye Wenying had invited Hao Jian was originally to humiliate him, but who knew that Hao Jian would upstage the host and leave her with no moves to make.
At this mont, both Ye Wenying and Murong Qiushui realized that Hao Jian was definitely not as simple as he appeared on the surface; his ticulous mind and deep sches were no less than their own.
Indeed, once Hao Jian learned that Ye Wenying had invited him, he knew what Ye Wenying was up to and quickly planned his response on the way over.
"You really are just as the rumors say, a rascal. It hasn't been long since your arrival, yet you've turned my banquet into a complete ss. You should be secretly delighted in your dreams to attend such a high-class event, at least show enough humility!" Ye Wenying decided to take a stand against Hao Jian, no longer allowing him to dominate the scene, otherwise, she would lose all her dignity.
The crowd discerned the targeting and disdain in Ye Wenying's words and imdiately understood that there was no reconciliation between Ye Wenying and Hao Jian, and she had likely invited him today to humiliate him.
"I'm like a rascal?" Hao Jian pointed at himself, his face full of confusion.
Seeing this, everyone was sowhat surprised. Was Hao Jian about to lose his temper? It was no wonder; anyone who cared about their pride would not be pleased being insulted by Ye Wenying, especially since Hao Jian and Ye Wenying had a bad relationship to begin with.
"Is it not so?" Ye Wenying scoffed, eager to see Hao Jian get angry, because if Hao Jian showed anger, she would control the whole situation.
"Of course not, how can you say I'm like a rascal? I'm blatantly a rascal, haha..." Hao Jian shalessly burst out laughing.
Upon hearing this, Ye Wenying and the others were dumbfounded. They realized Hao Jian wasn't shaless, he was utterly shaless!
Ye Wenying was instantly speechless, and for a mont, did not know what to say.
"And haven't you noticed how humble I have been? I went up to greet everyone actively, they like
so much!" Hao Jian said shalessly.
Like him?
A group of people felt like spitting in Hao Jian's face. Were they not harassed by Hao Jian's relentless approach?
"Since you've co to my banquet, you should abide by my rules, stay quietly to the side, and keep your mouth shut!" Ye Wenying snorted coldly, having already lost her patience.
She had intended to infuriate Hao Jian, but unexpectedly, Hao Jian had angered her instead.
Hao Jian imdiately clicked his tongue in displeasure and said, "Third Master Ye, isn't it a bit dull to speak like this? Everyone knows Hua City is my territory, and I didn't force you to follow my rules when you were there. I'm just here to attend a banquet and you're telling
to shut up, aren't you being too stingy?"
With Hao Jian saying this, Ye Wenying didn't know how to retort, because Hua City indeed had fallen into Hao Jian's hands.
Anger flashed in Ye Wenying's eyes as she rebuked, "With my status, I can go wherever I want. Who dares to make
follow their rules?"
Upon hearing this, everyone couldn't help but nod; Ye Wenying's status and background indeed put her beyond most people's constraints.
"I know you have a powerful background, but you should have heard the saying, 'Even a mighty dragon cannot crush a local snake,'" Hao Jian said with a malicious grin.
The crowd was shocked. Was Hao Jian threatening Ye Wenying?
Hearing this, Ye Wenying's expression turned frosty as she barked, "Are you threatening ?"
"Oh, Third Young Master Ye, what are you saying? With your status, how could I dare to threaten you?" Hao Jian imdiately put on a scared face.
Seeing this, everyone couldn't help but show contempt; was this guy scared of Ye Wenying? Wasn't he quite ruthless before, daring to burn down Ye Wenying's base, and now shrinking like an ant in front of the true master?
"I figured as much!" Ye Wenying snorted with pride, a look of scorn erging on her face.
"Yes, how could I dare threaten you? What I'm doing is 'warning' you!" Hao Jian suddenly changed his tone, a cold smile appearing on his face.
"Huh?" Ye Wenying's eyebrows shot up, not expecting Hao Jian to change his tune so suddenly.
Ye Wenying's eyes were like two blades, fiercely stabbing at Hao Jian's face.
But Hao Jian remained unfazed, a slight smile on his face as he t Ye Wenying's gaze with interest.
At this point, everyone was lost for words. Hao Jian truly was seeking death, boldly provoking Ye Wenying.
Ye Wenying's face grew extrely ugly as she angrily said, "Do you know what you're saying?"
"Of course, what I'm saying is: I burned your store, I killed your dog, and now... I am going to step on your disgusting face!" Hao Jian took a step forward, and a fierce killing intent spread, causing the atmosphere around him to turn icy cold.
