408: Chapter 397 Li Shishi Gets Angry 408: Chapter 397 Li Shishi Gets Angry Saying that was a bit blind; he clearly saw that he had come up with Mao Shan, so he obviously could get in.
This kid saying such things about him in front of so many people was just trying to knock him down a peg.
Sure enough, many guests nearby who were still unclear about the situation couldn’t help but glance at Song Yun after hearing this news.
Then they looked at Song Yun’s average attire, and their brows began to furrow, as if being seen with a person like him was quite embarrassing.
Even though these people’s ancestors were farmers just three generations ago, they still insisted on pretending to be aristocrats.
Dammit, aristocracy in other countries took time to develop; it couldn’t be achieved simply because one had some money.
In Song Yun’s eyes, these people were no different from nouveau riche bumpkins.
“I think you’re just a street punk.
Why do you even need to hang around us?
Even if you come here to eat, it doesn’t prove you are noble,” Li Shiwan added fuel to the fire.
“This person looks to me like a thug as well.
Maybe he really sneaked in.”
“Impossible, this is an engagement party hosted by the Xu Family.
How could someone without status get in?”
“Maybe he just followed someone else in.
Look at the stuff on his plate, all expensive items.
He looks like a country bumpkin who has never eaten good food.”
Quite a few women around had started to gossip about Song Yun.
Watching these wealthy wives and ladies of status gossiping about him, a slight smile appeared on Li Shiwan’s face; his purpose had been achieved.
Although perhaps these rich wives might be dirtier behind the scenes than this young man here—keeping young lovers, searching for male companions in bars, and perhaps even throwing lavish parties—all of this was done covertly.
And in public, they still presented themselves as the polished wives or madams of so-and-so, which gave them the right to pass judgment on certain matters.
Song Yun didn’t care about these people’s comments and decided to fill his stomach first, but just as he was about to bite into a piece of roast beef, these women started their annoying chatter again.
“You think you’re better than me?
Each one of you is involved in undeclared scandalous activities.
Surely, you’ve done plenty of dirty things behind the scenes,” Song Yun retorted.
“You always think that you can cover up your deeds flawlessly, but a simple investigation would reveal everything.”
“You little beast, what are you talking about?
Who are you calling dirty?” A woman in a red backless dress shouted loudly.
“Where are the security guards?
Why isn’t this person being thrown out?”
But before she could finish speaking, she was slapped across the face by Li Shishi.
“So uncivilized.
Someone who insults others so randomly needs to be taught a lesson.”
Song Yun was stunned by Li Shishi’s slap, but she was furious about the situation.
Who did this woman think she was?
Just an accessory to a man, and she dared to call Song Yun a beast?
She had to be taught a lesson.
Li Shishi coldly said to the woman, “No matter whose wife you are, if you say the wrong thing, you have to be punished.”
Only then did the woman come to her senses.
As someone of higher status, she would definitely not shout insults like a fishwife, but the hot pain on her face was unbearable.
She had to retaliate, or else how would she face her sisters?
“You little bitch,” the woman, one hand covering her face, tried to slap Li Shishi in return.
But unexpectedly, before she could let out her fury, her arm was tightly gripped.
Song Yun looked at her with a smile and said, “Ma’am, hitting people is not a good behavior, you know.”
The woman’s heart was cursing by now.
Why didn’t you say something when your woman slapped me in the face?
Why are you only now spouting this nonsense?
The more she thought about it, the angrier she got, and she called out to her husband, who was chatting with friends not far away.
“Wang Mingyuan, are you going to do something?
Your wife has been slapped in the face.”
Wang Mingyuan, who was there sipping wine elegantly, turned to see his wife’s face was red.
He hurried over, frowning, and asked, “Who did this?”
“I did.
What are you going to do to me?” Li Shishi said defiantly.
“Your woman runs her mouth off and curses at everyone.
Can’t she be disciplined?”
Wang Mingyuan tried to contain his anger and, looking back, nearly scared himself to death.
Damn it, it was Li Shishi, the woman he was facing.
If they wanted their business to operate smoothly, they had to have good relations with the political realm, so he knew full well the Li Family’s power in Sunan.
And now his foolish wife had clashed with Miss Li of the Li Family.
How could this be alright?
Wang Mingyuan gave an awkward smile and said, “I didn’t expect to meet Miss Li here today, what a pleasant surprise.”
“Don’t play useless tricks, Wang Mingyuan.
You’re regarded as a man in the business world, so aren’t you going to avenge your wife?” Li Yueyue also joined the fray.
“It must be said, your wife has a foul mouth indeed, cursing at anyone she catches, the Wang Family is really imposing.”
That’s it; he thought that saying a few nice words to Li Shishi would cover everything up.
Yet another domineering princess joined in, and neither sister was to be provoked, especially Li Yueyue, that little Demon King.
Can you believe that such a wealthy young miss had endless tricks up her sleeve to deal with people, and all those tactics were underhanded?
These weren’t people Wang Mingyuan could afford to provoke.
With a plastered-on smile, Wang Mingyuan said, “I believe this all is my wife’s fault.
Whatever she said to you two, I apologize here.”
“It’s not what she said to me, but what she said to him,” Li Shishi pointed at Song Yun.
“Wang Mingyuan, you must be familiar with Song Yun’s reputation, right?
Today, your wife has been judging him harshly here.
I think you’re going to have a much harder life from now on.”
Who was Song Yun?
A big name in Sunan nowadays, his status in the underworld was second only to Gulang, effectively making him the second most important figure in Sunan’s underworld.
It was said that he had countless underlings and that he even had Death Soldiers willing to die for him.
Damn it, this woman had picked the worst possible people to provoke.
“Mr.
Song, hello,” Wang Mingyuan said as he approached and shook Song Yun’s hand, feigning familiarity.
“I’ve heard of Mr.
Song’s great reputation a long time ago, and I’m honored to meet you in person today.”
“It’s nothing,” Song Yun said coldly.
“It’s just that Mrs.
Wang seems to have quite the temper.”
“It’s all my fault for not keeping her in check.
I hope you can forgive her transgression this once, as a superior person forgiving a lesser one,” Wang Mingyuan said, looking very servile, which was downright disgusting.
Song Yun didn’t want to entangle with him further and waved him off, saying, “Remember, not everyone can step into the waters of Sunan.
If you want to enter, you have to be prepared to drown.”
“Of course, of course,” Wang Mingyuan said before he practically dragged his wife away.
He dared not stay any longer.
If these elders decided to settle scores later on, he simply couldn’t withstand it.
