"This kid is nothing more than Song Anran's boyfriend. I suspect Song Anran is just using him as a shield, a tool!" Lin Zhiyin said resentfully.
Wei Ranqiu immediately perked up, grabbing Lin Zhiyin's arm and asking, "Lin Zhiyin, you know this kid?"
Lin Zhiyin sneered and said coldly, "Know him? I'd recognize him even if he were burned to ashes. He was just a little orderly, and somehow he became Song Anran's assistant."
"Think about it, a woman like Song Anran, would she ever fall for a man like trash?"
"Even if she did, at most she'd just be playing around!"
Wei Ranqiu's heart churned with jealousy, and he mumbled, "Even if she's just playing around, it still makes me uncomfortable to watch."
Jiang Zhenlin cast a contemptuous glance at Wei Ranqiu and said coldly, "Wei Ranqiu, can you have some backbone? Is it worth it for such a slut?"
"Think about our backgrounds. With just a snap of your fingers, women would be falling all over you, wouldn't they? What kind of woman can't you get? Why would you hang yourself on just one tree?"
Wei Ranqiu sighed and put his hands behind his back, "Alas, you wouldn't understand!"
"Damn it, fine, I don't understand!" Jiang Zhenlin cursed indignantly.
Lin Zhiyin and Wei Ranqiu found common ground, and Lin Zhiyin said, "Ranqiu, don't look so glum. I'll help you get rid of that kid right now, so he doesn't get in the way!"
Wei Ranqiu's spirits lifted, "Good, you go ahead. Song Anran is over there, and it's inconvenient for me to show myself. I don't want to ruin my image in her eyes."
He didn't know that his image in Song Anran's eyes was already completely gone.
Lin Zhiyin was about to step forward but hesitated again.
Thinking about how he always ended up looking foolish whenever he encountered Chen Xiao, he felt a bit uncertain.
So, he decided to ask Jiang Zhenlin to join him.
"Brother Jiang, come with me."
Among the four, Lin Zhiyin was the oldest, but his family background was not as good as the other three, so he could only refer to himself as younger.
Jiang Zhenlin curled his lips and said dismissively, "Lin Zhiyin, you can't even handle this trash character? You need me to step in?"
Lin Zhiyin dared not get angry and said obsequiously, "Brother Jiang, this is your territory after all. With you backing me, I'll feel more confident!"
The Jiang family was in the hotel business, and the wealthy man who leased Jiangxin Island half a century ago was Jiang Zhenlin's grandfather.
Therefore, this Jiangxin Pavilion was indeed Jiang Zhenlin's territory.
Jiang Zhenlin said proudly, "Fine, I'll accompany you then. It's been a while since I've dealt with such a low-life character. I'm only doing this for Old Wei, otherwise, I wouldn't bother!"
The four of them walked towards Chen Xiao.
Wei Ranqiu deliberately lagged a few steps behind, as if to avoid being noticed by Song Anran.
It was a bit of self-deception.
Chen Xiao naturally noticed them, and when he saw Wei Ranqiu and Lin Zhiyin, a hint of amusement flickered in his eyes.
"Director Song, who are these rich brats?"
Song Anran frowned and said in a low voice, "They are the Four Young Masters of Jiangcheng. I didn't expect them to all be here today."
"Four Young Masters of Jiangcheng?"
A trace of disdain appeared on Chen Xiao's lips, "Judging by the way they walk, I'd believe you if you said they were the Four Fools of Jiangcheng!"
Song Anran said warily, "Don't let your guard down. They seem to be coming for us."
Then, Song Anran began to quietly introduce them to Chen Xiao.
"I won't bother with Lin Zhiyin and Wei Ranqiu."
"The one in front of Wei Ranqiu, with the buzz cut, tall and strong, is Ye Gucheng. The Ye family is an old established prominent family in Jiangcheng, and it's said that the Ye family is now the richest in Jiangcheng."
"The one with Lin Zhiyin is Jiang Zhenlin. His family is in the hotel business, and Jiangxin Pavilion is their establishment. It's said that he is ruthless and extremely dangerous."
Chen Xiao sneered, "Extremely dangerous? Could it be that he styles his greasy hair with gasoline?"
Song Anran gave Chen Xiao a glare, "I'm not joking. Stay away from them and don't provoke them."
Chen Xiao thought to himself, I'd like to stay away from them, but the problem is, they seem very eager to approach me!
Just a few seconds after Song Anran finished speaking, Lin Zhiyin and Jiang Zhenlin arrived in front of them.
Song Anran immediately stepped in front of Chen Xiao and smiled at them, "Young Master Lin, Young Master Jiang, long time no see!"
Jiang Zhenlin was relatively polite to Song Anran, "Miss Song, long time no see. You've become even more beautiful."
Lin Zhiyin, however, arrogantly put his hands on his hips, "Song Anran, this is none of your business. Get out of the way!"
Jiang Zhenlin's eyelids twitched. He thought Lin Zhiyin was really courting death. Did he think Song Anran was just an ordinary hospital director?
However, he didn't say anything, content to watch Lin Zhiyin's performance.
Song Anran glared with a frown, "Lin Zhiyin, what do you mean?"
Lin Zhiyin snorted, "I don't mean anything, it's just that someone who shouldn't be here has arrived on this island!"
Lin Zhiyin pointed, "Chen, do you know what this place is? Do you know that people like you are not qualified to attend tonight's banquet?"
Chen Xiao smiled, "Why am I not qualified?"
Lin Zhiyin said loudly, "Look around, who here isn't a dignitary or from a noble family? What are you?"
"A mere orderly. Don't think I don't know, your mother sells pancakes at the market. How dare you ask me?"
When the people around heard this, they frowned.
Unconsciously, they cast disdainful glances at Chen Xiao.
His mother sells pancakes? How did this kind of person get in?
Chen Xiao sneered, "Lin, I warn you, you can insult me, but you are not allowed to insult my mother!"
Lin Zhiyin might have developed a psychological complex from Chen Xiao. Upon seeing Chen Xiao's cold smile, his body involuntarily trembled.
"I'm not wasting my breath on you. Security guards, come here! This kid doesn't have an invitation and is trying to sneak in with someone. Hurry and get rid of him!"
Lin Zhiyin called for the security guards.
When the security guards saw Boss Jiang accompanying Lin Zhiyin, they immediately understood the situation.
At that moment, they demanded to see Chen Xiao's invitation.
Lin Zhiyin smugly crossed his arms and said to Song Anran in a sarcastic tone, "Song Anran, there's one invitation per person. You can't use yours to let this kid get away with it!"
Song Anran became nervous. She wondered if Chen Xiao really didn't have an invitation.
Fortunately, Chen Xiao had his invitation with him.
He took out the invitation and slapped it onto Lin Zhiyin's face, "Open your dog eyes and show me, what is this?"
Lin Zhiyin took a look, and it was indeed a real invitation, identical to his.
The security guards looked at each other, at a loss.
Since the person had an invitation, they couldn't just drive him away, could they? That wouldn't be according to regulations!
At this moment, Jiang Zhenlin suddenly let out a scoff and said in a drawn-out tone, "So what if you have an invitation? You still can't get in!"
"When my grandfather built Jiangxin Pavilion, he established a rule!"
Everyone waited quietly for his next words. Jiang Zhenlin grinned and sneered, "That rule is: no poor people or dogs allowed!"
