“Exactly!” Ji Chun immediately chimed in, “How could there be such a big problem because of Elder Yang’s acupuncture? I think you’re behind it all. If it were really that serious, would you have been able to fix it with just a few needles?”
“What, you don’t have eyes to see? Didn’t I fix it with a few needles?” Li Se retorted.
Ji Chun was rendered speechless by the retort and could only say angrily, “What’s going on, you know it in your heart!”
“It seems your Su family isn’t going to honor the agreement. Fine, you’ll regret this,” Li Se said indifferently, pulling Su Mei and leaving directly.
“Regret?” Su Mei scoffed, “Why would I regret it? Honestly, I’d rather Grandpa Su die than hand over the Su family to Su Mei. That would be entirely different.”
“This brat is too arrogant!” Yang Wen snorted with displeasure.
“Elder Yang, he’s repeatedly belittled our Marvelous Needle Technique. We must teach him a lesson!” Ji Chun said fiercely.
Yang Wen nodded, “You handle this. You must make him apologize!”
“Alright!” Ji Chun’s face lit up with joy. With Yang Wen’s approval, he could act freely.
After leaving the Su family, Su Mei was very angry but helpless. She looked at Li Se and said, “Actually, even if you had cured that old man, the Su family would likely still not honor the agreement.”
“I expected as much. Let them be,” Li Se said indifferently.
“Thank you. If it weren’t for you, my body might have been defiled by that Zuo Qingyi,” Su Mei said gratefully.
“It’s good that you’re alright,” Li Se smiled. “Let’s go, I’ll treat you to a meal.”
“I should be treating you,” Su Mei smiled slightly.
The two quickly found a noodle restaurant. However, shortly after they sat down, a man approached them with a smile he thought was very handsome, “Beauty, care to introduce yourself?”
Su Mei pointed at Li Se and said, “I already have a boyfriend, so let’s forget it.”
The man, however, said dismissively, “Not a husband, no big deal. How about this, let me introduce myself first. I am the young master of the Jiangbei Chamber of Commerce, Luo Xiuxian. I’m here in the capital mainly for investment. You must have heard of the Jiangbei Chamber of Commerce, right? It’s the largest chamber of commerce in Jiangbei!”
“Sounds quite impressive, but as I said, I already have a boyfriend,” Su Mei shrugged, looking helpless.
“Beauty, people strive for higher ground, water flows to lower ground. You should look up, look forward. What he can give you, I can give. What he can’t give you, I can still give. As long as you agree to be my girlfriend, I’ll immediately give you a luxury car and a villa…” Luo Xiuxian said with full confidence. He had always pursued girls with such simple and direct methods, and it had always worked. Usually, as soon as he revealed his identity, women would flock to him.
“Is that how you talk? Being with me is like flowing to lower ground?” Li Se raised an eyebrow, somewhat displeased.
“Am I wrong?” Luo Xiuxian replied calmly. He glanced at Li Se with contempt in his eyes, “What can you give this beautiful lady? A woman with such elegance and beauty like her is completely wasted with you. Moreover, society is this realistic. Especially for beautiful women like this, what you possess now doesn’t mean you’ll always possess it. You have to hold onto it. If you can’t hold onto it, it will never be yours!”
“You speak the truth,” Li Se agreed.
“Since you agree, then that’s that? I am pursuing this beauty now. As for how she chooses, it’s not something you can control,” Luo Xiuxian said confidently.
Li Se leaned back and looked at Su Mei, “Mei Jie, how do you choose?”
Su Mei glanced at Li Se and said charmingly, “Little Li Se, don’t you understand my feelings? Of course, I will always follow you.”
“Did you hear that?” Li Se looked up at Luo Xiuxian, “Can you leave now?”
Luo Xiuxian clearly hadn’t expected to be rejected, and Li Se’s words annoyed him greatly. However, he still maintained a smile, “Beauty, won’t you reconsider?”
“No reconsideration,” Su Mei replied crisply.
“Heh, interesting. It’s been a long time since any woman rejected me, nor has any woman dared to reject me,” Luo Xiuxian’s expression turned grim.
“What, do you intend to use force?” Su Mei narrowed her eyes.
“Is there a problem with that?” Luo Xiuxian retorted.
“Are you looking for death?” Li Se said faintly.
“Kid, it’s your honor that I’ve taken a liking to your woman. I advise you to mind your own business. After this is done, I can give you a million yuan!” Luo Xiuxian was not stingy, he was extremely generous to beautiful women like Su Mei.
And if he couldn’t get through to Su Mei, he would try through Li Se. He didn’t believe that a million yuan couldn’t break up a couple!
“Not interested. Hurry up and leave, don’t disturb our meal,” Li Se said impatiently.
“Oh, you’re quite arrogant, aren’t you, kid? You’re the first one to dare speak to me like this.”
Luo Xiuxian stepped onto a chair with one foot, resting his arm on his thigh, and said with a cold laugh, “I’m the kind of person who can’t tolerate a grain of sand in my eye. I’m giving you a chance now. Kneel down and apologize to me immediately, otherwise, you won’t see tomorrow’s sun!”
“Quick, look, something seems to be happening.”
“That’s… the young master of the Jiangbei Chamber of Commerce.”
“It’s truly unfortunate to be targeted by this young master of the Jiangbei Chamber of Commerce.”
“I think it would be better to just take the million yuan and pretend nothing happened.”
“…”
Many people in the noodle restaurant had noticed the situation and were discussing it.
“Kneel down and apologize?” Li Se was taken aback, “Are you sick? Do you really like making others kneel and apologize?”
“You’re disrespectful to me, so you must kneel and apologize!” Luo Xiuxian said as a matter of course.
“If you don’t leave, I’ll throw you out. Do you believe me?” Li Se said impatiently.
“Kid, do you know who you’re talking to?”
At this moment, two men in suits walked forward. They were both Luo Xiuxian’s bodyguards. As they approached, their faces were filled with arrogance and disdain; they didn’t put Li Se in their eyes at all.
“Kneel down and apologize, otherwise you’ll have a very miserable end,” Luo Xiuxian said with a smile.
“Mei Jie, they say a beautiful woman brings disaster, and it seems to be true,” Li Se shrugged.
Su Mei again said charmingly, “If you can handle this, I’ll unlock any pose for you.”
