Wu Tian finally walked out after sensing Bai Ruoqi's gaze.
He smiled and said, "President Bai is certainly prepared with a gift, isn't she? Otherwise, it would be quite impolite, wouldn't it?"
No one had noticed Wu Tian's presence before.
Because everyone here was too high-profile, someone as ordinary in dress as Wu Tian had very little presence.
Upon seeing Wu Tian, Bai Guofu frowned and said, "Who are you? I've never seen you before. Who allowed you to attend my birthday banquet?"
Wu Tian calmly smiled and replied, "I am President Bai's personal assistant. I came along to help President Bai handle some matters. Surely that's not a problem?"
"Your gift was chosen by me, so allow me to discuss it with you."
Bai Fuguo said with a cold face, "Bai Ruoqi, has your standard dropped to such a degree?"
"To actually find someone like this as an assistant, no wonder you are so easily defeated!"
Bai Ruoqi disliked others speaking ill of Wu Tian, so she retorted, "What does that have to do with you? Just mind your own business. My affairs don't require your input."
Bai Fuguo was almost exploding with anger.
Back in the Bai family, who wouldn't tremble and call him Old Master Bai upon seeing him!
How many of the guests present dared to meet his gaze.
Yet now, someone of his status was being repeatedly defied by a young man. How could he accept this?
Therefore, he said again, "Fine, I won't interfere with your affairs, but I do want to see the gift you've brought for me, everyone."
"I hope the gift you've given me meets my expectations. Otherwise, you can expect to be humiliated in front of everyone."
Wu Tian smiled and said, "Don't worry, I'm an expert at picking gifts. You will definitely like the gift I've chosen this time."
"The largest box is mine. If you want to see it now, you can have someone bring it over."
Bai Fuguo was prepared to humiliate Bai Ruoqi, so he immediately had the box brought over.
The box was indeed very large, taller than an adult.
Seeing this, everyone became curious.
They all stood up and walked over, wanting to see what gift was inside the box.
Wu Tian smiled and said, "You can open the box now."
Bai Fuguo nodded to his subordinate, who immediately stepped forward, cut the tape on the box, and revealed the contents.
However, upon seeing the true nature of the gift, everyone's expressions turned to stunned silence.
Even Su Qiannai couldn't help but sway slightly, finding it hard to believe her own eyes.
"What is the meaning of this!" Bai Fuguo immediately flew into a rage. He roared, "It's my fiftieth birthday, and you dare to give me something like this? Are you tired of living!"
A smile curved Wu Tian's lips as he said, "What's wrong? Don't you like this kind of gift? I think it's very suitable for you."
Everyone present swallowed, but not a single person dared to utter a word.
Because the gift Wu Tian had sent... was a wreath!
Bai Ruoqi looked at Wu Tian in disbelief and softly said, "Wu Tian, what are you..."
Honestly, she hadn't expected Wu Tian to give such a gift.
It was Bai Fuguo's birthday!
But for Wu Tian to present a wreath, wasn't that clearly cursing him to die?
"You... you scoundrel!" Bai Fuguo's entire face turned green.
At this moment, he could no longer contain his wild rage. He immediately roared at Wu Tian, "I think you are truly courting death!"
Everyone was startled by Bai Fuguo's demeanor.
They shivered and took a few steps back.
Bai Haonan was also furious and immediately shouted, "Someone! Arrest this guy for me!"
Instantly, the sound of rushing figures could be heard!
Soon, three figures flew over the heads of the crowd and landed beside Bai Haonan.
Undoubtedly, these three were spiritual cultivators.
Bai Ruoqi's expression changed slightly, and she exclaimed in a soft voice, "What are you doing? Do you really intend to fight here!"
"Shut up!" Bai Fuguo had completely lost his composure.
He roared, "This bastard dares to humiliate me like this!"
"If I don't tear him to pieces today, then I, Bai Fuguo, will have no face to stay in the capital!"
Bai Ruoqi shouted, "Wu Tian is my person. If you touch Wu Tian today, it's equivalent to touching me. I will not allow you to do this!"
Bai Fuguo angrily said, "Bai Ruoqi, you'd better know when to stop!"
"I can let you off for now, but this brat, I must take him away!"
"Today, I will let him know whether this wreath is for me or for himself!"
Although Bai Ruoqi felt that Wu Tian's act of sending a wreath was indeed too much.
However, if Bai Fuguo intended to harm Wu Tian, she absolutely would not allow it.
Therefore, she firmly stated, "No! I said no, and I mean it! If you dare to touch him today, I will never forgive you!"
Bai Fuguo angrily said, "Is that so? Since you're refusing a face-saving offer, then I'll arrest you too. It saves me the trouble!"
Seeing Bai Fuguo intending to make a move on Bai Ruoqi, Xiao Lu certainly wouldn't allow it, so she spoke up again, "Are you not taking anything I said to heart?"
"I said you are not allowed to touch Qi Qi, and you are not allowed to!"
"Do you think you're the only one with spiritual cultivators? With just one phone call, do you believe I can summon all the spiritual cultivators from the Xiao family!"
"You want to play? Then I'll play with you to the end!"
The sudden eruption of conflict made the atmosphere in the entire hall extremely tense.
It was as if the place had become a powder keg, and a single spark would immediately trigger a massive explosion.
Although Bai Fuguo was filled with rage, he had not lost his reason.
He knew that given Xiao Lu's personality, if pushed too far, she would indeed summon a large number of spiritual cultivators to surround the place.
The situation was already complicated enough. If the Xiao family were to get involved, it would only make the situation more chaotic.
Therefore, he gritted his teeth and said, "Miss Xiao, I'll give you face. I won't touch Bai Ruoqi."
"But since this wreath was prepared by that brat, this matter cannot be let go of."
"Therefore... Bai Ruoqi can escape this ordeal, but that brat... must die here today!"
"All of you, attack!"
Hearing this, the two spiritual cultivators ignored Bai Ruoqi and directly lunged towards Wu Tian!
