After Su Ping spoke, everyone finally came to their senses. Ye Qingmei looked at Li Xiaotian, unsure whether to agree.
“Go ahead. It’s your class reunion, of course it should be lively. Do whatever makes you happy. The No. 1 private room has a great view. I hope you all have a good time tonight.”
Li Xiaotian said with a smile.
In the private room, some classmates were excited. The No. 1 private room! They, ordinary people, could actually dine in the No. 1 private room of Cloud Heaven Palace. This was a treatment they wouldn’t enjoy even if they worked their whole lives!
“You are all Qingmei’s classmates. Play happily tonight. All expenses will be on me,” Li Xiaotian said to everyone in the room.
“You’re too kind, Mr. Li, too kind!” Ye Qingmei’s classmates responded enthusiastically.
But at this moment, Zhang Xiaoduo looked at Li Xiaotian and suddenly spoke.
“Are you Qingmei’s husband? Do you know that your wife was bullied in this private room just now?”
As soon as she said this, the scene fell silent, a dead silence.
Xue Zhiyuan and Su Qian turned pale with fear, wishing they could find a crack to crawl into and disappear.
Li Xiaotian’s expression turned grim. He looked at Zhang Xiaoduo, then coldly swept his gaze across everyone in the room, and said unhurriedly.
“Speak, who bullied my wife? Who dared to bully my wife?”
“If Ms. Ye is bullied in my Cloud Heaven Palace, my Su family absolutely cannot stand by and watch. This is a provocation to my Su family! No matter who it is, my Su family will make them pay the price!” Su Haoran, the head of the Su family, also spoke, his face filled with anger, but his heart was extremely panicked.
Li Xiaotian’s wife was bullied on his territory. If his Su family was implicated, wouldn’t they be unable to resist?
“Miss, who bullied Ms. Ye? Please tell me. Mr. Li is my distinguished guest, Song Wei. If his wife is bullied, it means he’s not giving me, Song Wei, any face. I’d like to see when my face became so worthless?”
Song Wei’s tone was gloomy, and his eyes coldly glanced at Xue Zhiyuan and Sun Qian.
Zhang Xiaoduo was startled by the reaction of Li Xiaotian and the others, but quickly recovered her senses. She pointed at Xue Zhiyuan and Sun Qian and said.
“It was these two. One made Qingmei serve us tea and water, doing the work of a waitress. The other wanted Qingmei to kneel before him, saying he wanted to play with Qingmei’s family of three to death!”
“Presumptuous!”
“Audacious!”
“Mere ants, daring to be so ignorant of heaven and earth!”
Song Wei and the head of the Su family, along with others, were furious. Everyone’s eyes instantly turned to Xue Zhiyuan and Sun Qian, their gazes filled with murderous intent.
“Bang! Bang!” Xue Zhiyuan and Sun Qian were so frightened that they immediately knelt down.
“Mr. Li, Patriarch Su, Boss Song, I deserve to die, I deserve to die!” Xue Zhiyuan cried, kowtowing repeatedly, his heart filled with regret.
Su Haoran, the head of the Su family, and Song Wei, either one of them could kill their Xue family like crushing an ant.
And now, these two important figures were willing to be foils for Li Xiaotian, which only showed that Li Xiaotian’s background was terrifyingly powerful.
“Slap! Slap!” Song Wei slapped himself twice and kowtowed continuously.
The classmates in the private room were already stunned by this scene, standing there in a daze.
Li Xiaotian looked coldly at Xue Zhiyuan and Sun Qian, his voice low.
“Just the two of you, and you dare to bully my wife? Hmm?”
Upon hearing this, Xue Zhiyuan’s body trembled. His head was pressed firmly to the ground, and he didn’t dare to answer Li Xiaotian.
“Brother Li, Xue Zhiyuan threatened Qingmei just now. Our class monitor couldn’t stand it and spoke up to stop him. As a result, Xue Zhiyuan flew into a rage and demanded that the monitor kneel and apologize,”
Zhang Xiaoduo spoke again, her eyes filled with anger as she looked at Xue Zhiyuan and Sun Qian.
“Xue Zhiyuan also said that his family had business dealings with the Su family, and that he knew the young master of the Su family. He said that no matter what happened today, no one would dare to control him!”
After Zhang Xiaoduo finished speaking, Xue Zhiyuan felt even colder inside, but the Su family father and son behind Li Xiaotian instantly broke out in a cold sweat.
“Mr. Li! The Su family was blind and brought trouble upon ourselves. From now on, the Su family will sever all business ties with the Xue family!” Su Haoran said, bending his body slightly, his heart filled with anxiety.
“Mr. Li, many people know me, but I have no impression of ants like Xue Zhiyuan, and I’ve never been friends with him. Moreover, no matter who it is, as long as they cause trouble on the Su family’s territory, my Su family will never allow such a thing to happen,”
Su Ping said hastily, his face pale.
“Heh heh.” Li Xiaotian chuckled. He completely ignored the explanations from the Su family father and son. Instead, he looked at Zhang Xiaoduo and then nodded to Li Qiang.
“I am very happy that Qingmei has classmates like you. Thank you for stepping forward to help her just now.”
“Oh, it’s nothing. I was almost scared to death just now. Brother Li, if you had appeared any later, perhaps the three of us would have been finished,” Zhang Xiaoduo said politely. Seeing how powerful Li Xiaotian was, she was also happy for Ye Qingmei.
Just now, she had deliberately brought up Xue Zhiyuan and Sun Qian, because she knew that with Ye Qingmei’s personality, she might have just let it go as if nothing happened. But she couldn’t tolerate such a thing.
“We are all classmates, and I am the class monitor. This is what I should do,” Li Qiang said, his expression complex. Xue Zhiyuan, who had seemed like the sky above him before, now knelt like an ant. This change made him feel immense emotion.
“We still have to thank you,” Li Xiaotian said with a smile, then looked at Ye Qingmei and continued.
“Wife, take your classmates to the No. 1 private room first. Leave this matter to me.”
“This…” Ye Qingmei’s expression was hesitant. She glanced at Xue Zhiyuan and Sun Qian. To be honest, she had no good impression of these two. But given Li Xiaotian’s temper, if he were to take their lives because of this, she really couldn’t bear it.
“Don’t worry, I won’t cause any deaths,” Li Xiaotian said with a smile, then glanced at Su Ping.
Seeing this, Su Ping quickly stepped forward and said to Ye Qingmei in a gentle tone.
“Ms. Ye, please follow me. I have already arranged for the No. 1 private room to be decorated and instructed the kitchen to prepare our Cloud Heaven Palace’s signature dishes. I hope you and your classmates have a pleasant meal tonight.”
“Qingmei, let’s go quickly. The No. 1 restaurant! I’ve only seen others boast about it online before, and I never thought I would experience it myself,” Zhang Xiaoduo urged Ye Qingmei.
Ye Qingmei had no choice but to nod and followed Su Ping away, with everyone from the private room also heading there.
On the way, Ye Qingmei’s classmates were filled with emotion. So much had changed tonight.
They began to chat with Ye Qingmei, after all, it was through her influence that they could dine in the No. 1 private room.
Ye Qingmei responded to each of them without any arrogance.
Meanwhile, in the private room, Xue Zhiyuan and Sun Qian knelt on the ground, trembling.
Li Xiaotian sat in his seat, looking at them coldly. If it were in the past, he would have extinguished these two with a casual gesture. But now, worried about Ye Qingmei’s reaction, he could only let these two live for now.
“Song Wei, I’ll leave these two to you. As long as you don’t kill them, you can handle them however you want, the more miserable the better,” Li Xiaotian instructed Song Wei.
“Yes, Master!” Song Wei immediately responded. There were no outsiders present, so Song Wei didn’t dare to address Li Xiaotian as Mr. Li anymore, even if Li Xiaotian didn’t mind, he wouldn’t dare to.
“No!! Don’t!! Li Xiaotian, you can’t do this to me! I’m Qingmei’s best friend, we were very close in college. Tonight, I was just joking with her!”
Upon hearing Li Xiaotian’s instructions, Sun Qian was instantly panicked and shouted at Li Xiaotian.
But Li Xiaotian completely ignored her, his eyes still cold.
Seeing this, Sun Qian’s face turned even paler. Her eyes fell on Cheng Kai behind the crowd, and she clung to him like a drowning person grabbing a life-saving straw, quickly saying.
“President Cheng, you must save me! I’m from our Fengxing company, and you know my relationship with Chen Xing. If you save me, Chen Xing’s family behind him will definitely repay you.”
Cheng Kai, who was called by Sun Qian, suddenly turned pale, wishing he could rush forward and slap Sun Qian severely. But he didn’t dare. He was considered someone outside, but tonight, here, he was just a subordinate.
“Sun Qian, we at Fengxing dare not take a cheap woman like you. Don’t come to the company tomorrow. You’re fired, and from now on, no company in Jiangnan’s financial sector will dare to hire you!”
Cheng Kai glared fiercely at Sun Qian and said. At the same time, he continued in an unhurried tone.
“Oh, and you probably don’t know yet? Fengxing Company has already been bought by Lord Li and placed under Ms. Ye’s name. From now on, Fengxing’s president will be Ms. Ye.”
Boom! Hearing Cheng Kai’s words, Sun Qian’s mind went blank. She was fired, her professional future was ruined, and what she found even harder to accept was that such a massive company like Fengxing Finance had been bought by Li Xiaotian and given to Ye Qingmei!
At this moment, Sun Qian’s heart was filled with shock, jealousy, and regret. She was shocked by Li Xiaotian’s identity, jealous of Ye Qingmei’s luck, and even more regretful that she hadn’t seized the opportunity when she met Ye Qingmei again!
Sun Qian gritted her teeth, looked at Li Xiaotian, and said, “Why? Is Ye Qingmei worth you doing so much for? Why does she deserve it?”
“Presumptuous!” Song Wei immediately cursed upon seeing this. He raised his hand, ready to slap Sun Qian. He found such a woman disgusting. She questioned what others possessed because she lacked it herself, instead of finding reasons within herself, she blamed others.
Li Xiaotian waved his hand, signaling Song Wei to stop, then looked at Sun Qian with eyes full of mockery.
“Because Ye Qingmei is my wife, Li Xiaotian. She gave birth to a precious daughter for me. I love them, and that’s enough! Let alone a mere Fengxing Finance, even if I bought the entire Jiangnan financial circle and gave it to her to play with, I would be happy to do so.”
“What? Do you have a problem? Hmm?”
