"Alright, can you two just stop?"
Caught between the two women, Wu Tian felt immense pressure and finally let out a wail.
Upon hearing Wu Tian's voice, both women retracted their gazes, but it was clear they were still at odds.
The air was thick with awkwardness, and Wu Tian couldn't stand it any longer.
He quickly said, "Hey, hey, hey, it's getting late. We should get going. I'm in a hurry to get home and farm!"
Hearing this, the two women rolled their eyes slightly but didn't say much more. They walked out with Wu Tian.
However, as soon as they stepped out, a man's voice immediately rang out from behind: "Miss Bai!"
The group turned around and saw a young man jogging towards them.
The young man was quite handsome, dressed in an expensive suit, clearly from a wealthy family.
Wu Tian didn't recognize him, but Tang Qi and Bai Ruoqi clearly did.
Bai Ruoqi smiled slightly and said, "Oh, it's Young Master Zhong. May I ask what you need, Young Master Zhong?"
Wu Tian immediately whispered to Tang Qi, "Who is this guy?"
Tang Qi whispered back, "His name is Zhong Lintian. He's the young master of Zhong Corporation and is also known as the number one young master in the county."
"Zhong Corporation?" Wu Tian was slightly surprised.
After all, Zhong Corporation was the largest group in the county, and its chairman, Zhong Shan, was the richest man in the county, with assets worth tens of billions!
Zhong Lintian looked at Bai Ruoqi with a smile and said, "Miss Bai, it's an honor for our county to have your Tianbao Group set up here!"
"As the host, I think I should treat you to a meal, right?"
"So, would you like to have dinner with me tonight?"
Bai Ruoqi smiled and shook her head, saying, "No, thank you, Young Master Zhong. I have other things to do tonight, so I won't be joining you."
"Don't say that, Miss Bai!" Zhong Lintian immediately became anxious.
He said, "Miss Bai, I've invited you many times. Why do you always refuse me?"
Bai Ruoqi replied, "I don't casually go out to dinner with people, so I'm sorry. Please don't invite me again in the future."
Even though Bai Ruoqi had made her stance clear, Zhong Lintian was clearly oblivious.
He continued, "Miss Bai, I sincerely want to invite you to dinner. Please accept my invitation!"
Seeing his persistence, Tang Qi understood his intentions and whispered, "It seems this Zhong Lintian wants to be the son-in-law of the Bai family!"
Wu Tian raised an eyebrow and asked, "How do you know?"
Tang Qi whispered, "Of course I know. Because this guy used to pursue me too!"
"This guy only puts on a good show. In reality, he's very lecherous and opportunistic. I heard he's ruined quite a few girls in the county!"
"He gets away with it all because of his family's money. So, he definitely has ulterior motives this time!"
Tang Qi's words made Wu Tian's expression turn serious.
If that was the case, it seemed a Ximen Qing had arrived!
Bai Ruoqi, of course, was well aware of Zhong Lintian's reputation.
She had politely declined out of consideration for Zhong Corporation, but she hadn't expected Zhong Lintian to be so persistent.
Now that Wu Tian was present, she was afraid he might misunderstand, so her pretty face turned noticeably colder.
She said, "Zhong Lintian, I can still talk to you nicely now. You should know why."
"I advise you to leave now, or you will regret it."
Zhong Lintian's smile immediately vanished. He didn't dare to offend Bai Ruoqi too much, as offending her would jeopardize his family's business.
But he still felt very unwilling. The moment he saw Bai Ruoqi, he was deeply attracted to her, not to mention that Bai Ruoqi was a proud daughter of heaven.
If he could get Bai Ruoqi into his bed, wouldn't he soar to prosperity?
So, even though Bai Ruoqi had spoken to this extent, he still forced himself to say, "Miss Bai, don't be so cold. After all, I'm the first person in the county to interact with you!"
"Look, so many people here are seeing you for the first time, right? But I saw you when you first arrived. Doesn't that mean you have some good feelings towards me?"
Bai Ruoqi frowned, "Please don't speak nonsense."
"The reason I'm meeting you is because your family is the richest in this area. I'm just being polite, so don't overthink it."
"If my actions have caused you any misunderstanding, then we should not meet again in the future, so you don't have to be so self-indulgent here."
Zhong Lintian's expression froze slightly, and a surge of anger quickly rose in his heart.
He wasn't flattering when he said those words; he genuinely believed them.
He always felt that Bai Ruoqi must have some interest in him, but he didn't expect Bai Ruoqi to speak so directly, shattering his beautiful dream on the spot.
If Bai Ruoqi's status wasn't so noble, he would have already resorted to force.
Tang Qi also chimed in with sarcasm, "Young Master Zhong, it seems you were rebuffed by me, and now you've been rebuffed again."
"You're so pathetic. Why do you always think you're so great?"
Zhong Lintian was already angry, and Tang Qi's words naturally made him even more furious.
He glared at Tang Qi and said, "What does this have to do with you? Let me tell you, I didn't get rebuffed by you before; it's just that I didn't want you anymore!"
"Who do you think you are? You're a stupid woman for not seizing the opportunity to be with me!"
"What did you say!" Tang Qi immediately got angry.
"Zhong Lintian, how dare you speak to me like that!"
Zhong Lintian sneered, "How dare I? How can I not dare? You might be someone others can't afford to offend, but in my eyes, do you really think you're that great?"
"It's just a group worth a billion. I can crush you with a little effort!"
"You'd better not push your luck. I didn't force you before because I was giving your father face. If you keep yapping at me, do you believe I'll make you disappear tonight?!"
"You son of a bitch!" Tang Qi was too angry, and for the first time, she swore.
Zhong Lintian grinned menacingly, "What's wrong? Is there something I said that's incorrect?"
"I just look down on you. If you have the ability, then kill me!"
"You don't have the ability but like to run your mouth. I think you're just asking for trouble!"
Zhong Lintian's words were too excessive. For a moment, even Tang Qi couldn't help but shed tears of anger.
