Changed targets?
Guomin Xiao Wang was furious. If the remark wasn't directed at Xia Lin, making fun of others was acceptable.
Guomin Xiao Wang had always enjoyed associating with internet celebrities, often creating widely known incidents. Li Shao wasn't surprised to hear Guomin Xiao Wang making such a joke.
Moreover, he was one of the top young masters from the Beijing circle. He had always looked down on these four young masters from Modu.
Adding to his annoyance was waiting for Guomin Xiao Wang for several hours for no reason.
Li Shao, please mind your words. Some jokes can be made, and some cannot be made casually, or you might not be able to bear the consequences.
Guomin Xiao Wang, with a grim expression, wanted to give Li Shao a reminder.
Unfortunately, Li Shao mistook Guomin Xiao Wang's words as a threat.
Do you think you can threaten me?
Xiao Wang, have you grown bolder recently? Daring to threaten me? Li Shao asked with displeasure.
Li Shao, forget it. We're all friends. Just give me face today and say less. Yu Wei, sensing that things were going south, quickly stepped in to mediate.
Li Shao was his invited guest, and at this moment, he was in the most awkward position.
Since he was one of the four young masters of Modu, if he had to take sides, he would naturally and without hesitation stand with Guomin Xiao Wang.
They often bantered and joked around, but when it came to taking sides, he knew where he stood.
They were all young and prone to acting on impulse, but they wouldn't backstab each other.
Fatty Yu, stop persuading. Didn't he always look down on us? Why did you invite him? Qin Dou chimed in.
Exactly. Since he looks down on us, why is he playing with us? We bid you farewell. Jiang Xin chimed in sarcastically.
Such a man, so indecisive. If it were me, I would have left long ago. Qin Wen glanced at Li Shao, finding him insignificant.
Aren't you just relying on your family's wealth, acting like you're more accomplished than others?
With your family background, even a pig could take off if placed in the right spot.
Although Guomin Xiao Wang and his friends enjoyed themselves, they were all pursuing their own endeavors and never used their influence to bully others.
Li Shao was stunned by the retort. While he was a bit displeased earlier, he felt he hadn't done anything excessive.
Why were they acting like a stirred hornet's nest? When did these people become so united?
Lin'er, let's go to the yacht. Don't bother with this person. Ma Yuqin said, pulling Xia Lin towards the yacht, not sparing Li Shao a glance throughout.
Yu Wei, it seems I'm not welcome here. Goodbye. Li Shao said, turning and leaving with a cold expression.
This is truly outrageous. What did I even say?
A bunch of idiots.
Li Shao, this...
Don't mind him. He's just an arrogant fellow. Who gave him the right?
Yu Wei was about to call out to Li Shao, but Guomin Xiao Wang interrupted.
Wang Shao, he's a top young master from the Beijing circle, and he didn't really say anything. Do you really need to offend him so severely?
Yu Wei was very helpless. It was his event today, and Li Shao was his guest. He had managed to offend him before the banquet even began.
It wasn't the first time they had exchanged such jokes, it was all in jest, so why take it seriously?
What kind of enchantment did Xia Lin cast on these three to make them so resolute in their unwavering defense?
Li Shao had been slightly rude, which was unpleasant, but then these three had reacted as if they were provoked. This was indeed typical behavior of lapdogs, Yu Wei now believed.
These three had truly become Xia Lin's lapdogs.
The most loyal kind, biting anyone they encountered.
What's this? If he hadn't run fast, I would have beaten him up, Jiang Xin spat.
You've finally said something I agree with. I support you.
Qin Dou gave Jiang Xin a thumbs-up as encouragement.
Young Master Jiang, you've certainly become more boastful after a few days apart, Yu Wei said with a smile, looking at Jiang Xin.
I'm not boasting at all. That guy was quite well-behaved. If he dared to speak ill of Lin'er, I'd beat him up, Jiang Xin stated.
I'm impressed. Yu Wei looked utterly speechless.
To be such devoted lapdogs, he had nothing more to say. He truly couldn't see what was so great about Xia Lin.
There were plenty of beautiful women. Why would men willingly become lapdogs to women?
Only women should fawn over him; he would never be a lapdog.
Alright, let's go, let's go play on the yacht. Guomin Xiao Wang said, leading the way towards the yacht.
The minor incident just now was merely an interlude, not worth mentioning.
If he was offended, so be it. They disliked each other anyway.
Wait before we go up. Can you explain to me what kind of spell Lin'er cast on you to make you so disgracefully willing to be lapdogs?
Yu Wei stopped the group who were about to board the yacht. This was a question that had been lingering in his mind.
What do these three grown men hope to gain by fawning over a beautiful woman? And why were Qin Wen and Ma Yuqin also staying with Xia Lin? Seeing this today made Yu Wei even more curious.
Do you really want to know? Guomin Xiao Wang stopped and turned to ask.
Aren't you stating the obvious? Yu Wei replied.
Once we tell you, we're afraid you'll also find ways to come and fawn, Jiang Xin said with a laugh.
Don't worry, I'm not as crazy as you three. If I were to become a lapdog like you, I'd jump into this river and drown myself on the spot. I'm just genuinely curious, Yu Wei said, specifically pointing at the Huangpu River before him.
Do you believe I can make that guy come back and apologize with just one phone call? Guomin Xiao Wang retorted.
Yu Wei shook his head, not believing him.
Would someone as arrogant as Li Shao apologize because of your phone call?
Isn't that just fooling an idiot?
Then, let me enlighten you today. Guomin Xiao Wang said, taking out his phone.
Yu Wei looked on as if expecting a show, crossing his arms and watching Guomin Xiao Wang.
Dad, Li Changhe spoke presumptuously today and offended Lin'er. Guomin Xiao Wang said directly to his father, Old Wang, without any embellishment.
Okay, I understand. Old Wang said, "Understood," and hung up.
The father and son's call lasted less than ten seconds before it was abruptly ended.
Yu Wei's eyes widened.
That's it?
This works?
Wang Shao, you can't be joking with me, can you? Yu Wei said, full of disbelief.
Talking to your father about this is useless. Would he dare to disrespect your father?
Just wait and see. Today, I'll show you how ignorant you are. Guomin Xiao Wang said, patting Yu Wei's shoulder with a somewhat profound expression.
Yu Wei paused for a moment.
Here I go again, being called ignorant. Where am I ignorant?
