"Understood. Thank you, Young Master Ye," Zhou Hongyun said with a sinister smile, his gaze fixed on Li Se and then Huang Shanshan, before he casually returned.
"Hongyun, the environment here is truly excellent," Zhu Manyin said, quite pleased with Zhou Hongyun. Especially this Nine-Five Supreme Clubhouse, filled with wealthy individuals.
"Auntie, please enjoy your golf," Zhou Hongyun smiled.
Huang Zhenguo and Zhu Manyin went off to play golf. Zhou Hongyun, being experienced, approached Li Se and said, "Dare to have a competition?"
"Compete in what?" Li Se had never played golf before.
"Of course, who has better golf skills. Oh, right, someone like you surely wouldn't know golf. Asking you to compete with me is a bit too much," he said.
He then ignored Li Se and turned to Huang Shanshan, "Shanshan, let me teach you how to play..."
"No need!" Huang Shanshan refused outright.
"If you don't know how to play, you can learn. What's so difficult about it?" Li Se said nonchalantly.
"You want to learn on the spot?" Zhou Hongyun chuckled, "What's the use of learning such a noble activity? It's not meant for people like you anyway."
Their conversation immediately drew the attention of many.
"No way, he doesn't even know golf?"
"That doesn't make sense. If he could get in, how could he not know golf?"
"Tch, probably someone brought him. Look at his rustic appearance, what the heck would he know about golf."
"..."
Many people began to mock him.
Whoosh!
Just then, a golf ball flew towards them, heading straight for Huang Shanshan's head with considerable force. Li Se frowned upon seeing the ball, quickly extended his hand, and struck it away.
"Kid, pick my ball up for me!" A woman walked over. She was wearing a T-shirt and shorts, with a good figure and fair skin, though there was still a gap compared to Huang Shanshan.
"Why should I pick up your ball for you?" Li Se frowned.
"You hit my ball away, so you have to pick it up," the woman said arrogantly.
"Can't you pick it up yourself?" Li Se was reluctant to engage with the woman.
"Heh, you're the first one to dare speak to me like this," the woman smiled, but her smile held a trace of disdain.
"That's... the eldest daughter of the Tang family!" someone exclaimed.
"It's Miss Tang. Li Se, what are you still standing there for? Hurry up and pick up the ball!" Zhou Hongyun shouted. The Tang family was a top-tier aristocratic family in the capital, comparable to the Ye and Xiao families.
"This kid is too damn arrogant. Miss Tang tells him to pick up the ball, and he dares to refuse?"
"Does he really think he's amazing just because he can enter Nine-Five Supreme? Look at his clothes, I bet he was just brought in to see the world. And now he's arguing with Miss Tang, courting death?"
"What's wrong with picking up a ball for Miss Tang? It's no big deal, and it's not embarrassing."
"..."
Everyone was murmuring. In such an upper-class circle, there were top existences. Although everyone present was wealthy, there was still a significant gap compared to the truly elite.
Huang Zhenguo and Zhu Manyin were playing golf and enjoying the atmosphere. When they saw Li Se provoking the Tang family's young lady, they felt a headache. When they first entered, they had repeatedly warned him not to cause trouble. If Miss Tang wanted the ball picked up, then go pick it up. It wasn't embarrassing; offending Miss Tang would be much worse than picking up a ball.
"The ball was hit by you. If I hadn't struck it away, it would have hit my girlfriend. By rights, you should be apologizing!" Li Se said calmly.
"You want me to apologize?" Tang Rou looked at Li Se in disbelief. "You're ridiculous. You want me to apologize to you? What are you, to deserve that? Do you know who I am, that you're asking me to apologize?"
"I order you now, go and pick up the ball!"
Tang Rou, being the eldest daughter of the Tang family, had a rather strong temper and was accustomed to giving orders. Now, Li Se was asking her to apologize, and naturally, she was furious.
"Li Se, aren't you going to pick up the ball quickly? You can't afford to offend Miss Tang," Zhou Hongyun reprimanded. Despite his seemingly angry demeanor, he was inwardly delighted. Did he really think a bit of martial arts made him formidable? This was the eldest daughter of the Tang family; she wouldn't be swayed by that. Young Master Ye was indeed amazing. Bringing him here, Li Se would immediately offend someone.
"Shanshan, you should quickly tell him to go pick up the ball."
"Yes, if he truly offends the Tang family's eldest daughter, he'll face severe consequences."
Huang Zhenguo and Zhu Manyin both spoke up. Although they had noticed the situation, Tang Rou's status was undeniable, and they couldn't afford to offend her.
Zhou Hongyun said sternly, "Take my advice, it's best to obey Miss Tang. Even if Young Master Feng were here, he would have to obediently pick up the ball."
Huang Zhenguo and Zhu Manyin's expressions changed slightly upon hearing this. Even Young Master Feng would have to pick up the ball obediently? Good heavens, wasn't the Tang family a top existence in the capital?
"The eldest daughter of the Tang family, right? I know one too, named Tang Xi. She should be your sister, shouldn't she?" Li Se said calmly.
"Tang Xi?" Tang Rou scoffed dismissively. "She's from a collateral branch, how dare she compare herself to me? If it weren't for Ye Bowen fancying her, she wouldn't have set foot in the capital in her life. Just trash!"
"You have quite an arrogant tone," Li Se frowned slightly, displeased. Although he and Tang Xi weren't officially a couple, there was a certain ambiguous relationship between them. Hearing her speak of Tang Xi like that naturally made him uncomfortable.
"What, is it not okay to have an arrogant tone? I'm telling you to pick up the ball now, didn't you hear me? Are you deaf?" Tang Rou said impatiently.
"Is that how you speak?" Huang Shanshan said angrily. She got very upset when other women spoke about her man that way.
"Presumptuous!" Tang Rou, in a fit of rage, picked up the golf club and swung it towards Huang Shanshan's face.
"Not good!" Huang Zhenguo and Zhu Manyin's faces changed drastically.
Huang Shanshan also hadn't expected Tang Rou to resort to violence.
However, before the club could touch Huang Shanshan, it stopped in mid-air, firmly grasped by Li Se.
"Let go!" Tang Rou still maintained a condescending, commanding tone. "This club of mine costs a million. If it breaks, can you afford to pay for it?"
*Crack!*
As soon as she finished speaking, the club was snapped in half by Li Se.
At that moment, the entire venue fell silent!
