"Beep, beep, beep..."
Listening to the dial tone from the hung-up call, Li Yuqiang was still in a state of utter bewilderment.
"Young Master Li, what's wrong?" beside him, Ye Jing asked curiously.
Li Yuqiang frowned. After a moment of silence, he finally said, "We might have kicked an iron plate this time. Is your classmate really just an ordinary person?"
"It's true."
Ye Jing also frowned. "I know her family's situation. They are just an ordinary family with no background, and they aren't wealthy either."
"If that's really the case, how could she possibly be in that private room?"
Li Yuqiang had realized it too. Anyone who could sit at the same table and eat with Liang Jie and Wu Lei could not possibly be simple.
Perhaps that girl named Cheng Weiyang really came from an ordinary family, but the people around her were definitely not ordinary!
But even so, weren't they ultimately just a bunch of young people?
Why did his father's tone on the phone sound as if he had caused a massive disaster this time?
Li Yuqiang furrowed his brows tightly, and panic began to well up in his heart.
If the situation wasn't truly serious, his father wouldn't be coming over in person.
...
About twenty minutes later, a car pulled up in front of the restaurant.
Wang Yousheng, Liang Lihua, and Li Yan hurriedly got out of the car and headed straight into the restaurant.
They immediately went to the private room where Li Yuqiang and Ye Jing were.
"Dad..."
Seeing that his father had actually come, Li Yuqiang quickly went to greet him.
"Slap!"
However, Li Yan slapped him directly across the face. "You fucking only know how to cause trouble for me all day long! This time you even dared to offend Young Master Qin!"
"Young Master Qin?"
Li Yuqiang covered his face, looking completely innocent. "Dad, I don't know any Young Master Qin..."
"Slap!"
Another slap landed. Li Yan roared angrily, "If you knew? If you knew, would it be this bad? If you knew and still dared to offend him like this, I would skin you alive today!"
"Old Li, hold off on hitting him for now. Quickly ask what exactly happened," Wang Yousheng frowned.
Li Yan nodded, then glared at his son and shouted, "Did you hear that? Hurry up and explain everything to me, word for word, without missing a single detail!"
"Dad, here's what happened..."
Li Yuqiang clearly realized the severity of the situation. Not daring to hide anything, he carefully recounted every detail of what had happened from the moment he and Ye Jing walked into that private room.
"This is your girlfriend?"
After hearing the story, Li Yan almost fainted from anger.
Where did this kid find such a girlfriend?
Thank goodness he hadn't brought her home yet!
Their Li family could not afford a daughter-in-law like this!
"The girl you offended is considered Young Master Qin's girlfriend. Apologize properly, and you might earn his forgiveness. Young Master Qin is actually quite reasonable, as long as you haven't crossed his bottom line," Wang Yousheng said.
Based on his understanding of Qin Ning, this matter could be big or small. It all depended on whether Ye Jing and Li Yuqiang had said any other nasty things at the time.
Li Yan said, "Lao Wang, you are the most familiar with Young Master Qin. Please help me out later and put in a good word for us in front of Young Master Qin..."
A few days ago, because of the incident with his old classmate Wu Xinghai, he had learned how terrifying Qin Ning was.
This was an existence who could converse on equal terms with Elder Zeng and Elder Liu. If they really angered him, let alone his son Li Yuqiang, even he himself would probably be stripped of his position.
Soon, the group arrived at the door of the private room where Qin Ning and the others were. Wang Yousheng knocked gently on the door.
"Come in."
Upon receiving a response, they finally pushed the door open and walked in.
With a sudden thud!
Ye Jing and Li Yuqiang knelt directly on the floor. Li Yuqiang stammered, "Young... Young Master Qin... We had eyes but failed to recognize Mount Tai just now, and we offended you greatly..."
"You don't need to apologize to me. If you want to apologize, just say it to Weiyang," Qin Ning interrupted.
Hearing this, the two quickly looked at Cheng Weiyang. Ye Jing spoke first, "Weiyang... I... I know I was wrong. I shouldn't have provoked you. I... I beg you to forgive me. I was being a bitch, I had a foul mouth."
"Slap! Slap! Slap!"
As she spoke, she raised her hand and slapped herself several times in a row, turning her face bright red.
Ye Jing was terrified.
She was truly terrified now.
Although she didn't know what Cheng Weiyang's background was now, nor did she understand the identity of the Young Master Qin beside her, the fact that they could alarm the top two leaders of Dong Province to come over showed their power. With their influence, crushing her would be easier than crushing an ant on the ground.
Moreover, she knew that after this incident, things between her and Li Yuqiang were over.
Having caused such a huge disaster, let alone Li Yuqiang, his father Li Yan would never allow her to have any more contact with him. Marrying into their family was completely out of the question now.
"Slap! Slap! Slap!"
Seeing that Cheng Weiyang did not respond, Ye Jing slapped herself a few more times.
"That's enough."
Finally, Cheng Weiyang's voice sounded. At this moment, she frowned slightly, looking at Ye Jing. "I won't hold what happened during our school days against you. We're all adults now, not children. But I didn't expect your personality to be exactly the same as before, completely unchanged."
"Remember, keep a low profile in the future, and don't be so childish anymore. You can leave."
"Yes, yes... I will definitely keep a low profile, I will definitely change!"
Wild joy appeared on Ye Jing's face as she said repeatedly, "Thank you... thank you... I'll leave right away!"
After saying that, not daring to stay a moment longer, Ye Jing hurriedly backed out of the private room.
But Li Yuqiang didn't dare to move, because Cheng Weiyang had only told Ye Jing to leave, not him.
"Take him back and discipline him well."
Qin Ning lifted his eyes slightly, glanced at Li Yan, and spoke in a calm tone.
"Rest assured, Young Master Qin, I will definitely discipline him well!" Li Yan quickly replied.
Seeing Qin Ning wave his hand, he finally took his son and walked out of the private room.
Wang Yousheng and Liang Lihua also said a few words before leaving as well.
Soon, after finishing their meal, Qin Ning and his group drove around a few scenic spots in the suburbs again.
It wasn't until sunset that they returned to the city center.
In front of a luxurious hotel, the area was already packed with parked cars.
The eightieth birthday banquet for Liang Jie's grandfather, Old Master Yuan Guoliang, was being held here tonight.
Wang Yousheng and Liang Lihua had just received a call from Liang Jie. Upon learning that Qin Ning and the others were already on their way, they had come downstairs early to wait.
Seeing Qin Ning and the others get out of the car, the two quickly went up to greet them.
"Young Master Qin, welcome, welcome..."
Liang Lihua smiled and spoke, but he didn't dare to reach out and shake Qin Ning's hand.
"Let's go. There are too many people here, take us upstairs first," Qin Ning said.
Almost everyone who came to celebrate Old Master Yuan Guoliang's birthday recognized Liang Lihua. After all, he was the second-in-command. For him to be so respectful in front of Qin Ning would inevitably draw too much attention.
ive and Ruthless] Before his transmigration, Ye Xuan was playing a game called "Severing Emotions to Attain the Dao." The game's core wasn't about leveling up by fighting monsters, but about conquering various "bad women" with wicked personalities and cold, fickle natures. There was only one method to conquer them: stay unwaveringly by their side, then die at a critical moment, driving them to madness after losing the protagonist. The higher their level of regret, the higher the player's score. To dominate the server, Ye Xuan conquered all the bad women. In the early stages, he showered them with boundless tenderness, only to choose to sacrifice himself for them later, making them weep bitterly and drown in regret. Among them were: Xia Lengyue, the unfaithful immortal wife who chased after powerful men and discarded her husband like trash. Ye Qingcheng, the Demonic Venerable of the Joyous Union Sect, who appeared pure and innocent but was, in reality, promiscuous. Wu Lingxiao, the Empress of the Great Xia Dynasty, who lusted after men and loved maintaining a harem. Bai Qiangu of the Endless Demonic Sect: a bloodthirsty mass murderer. However, when the protagonist transmigrated into the game world, he made a horrifying discovery. Eight hundred years had already passed. The bad women he had conquered had now each become deities and revered ancestors. Faced with the endless stream of toxic women coming for him, Ye Xuan could only rely on his god-tier acting skills to carve a path of survival through this world of treacherous women.

Shen Fei: "A trillion in capital to reverse and pump the stock market, making you blow your margin and jump on the very first day of your rebirth!" What Chosen Ones? What bearers of Heavenly Fortune? In Shen Fei's eyes, they're all just chives (i.e., suckers/marks) waiting to be harvested! Shen Fei: "Sorry, but as the Destined Ultimate Villain, I don't play by the rules of honor. I only play the game of dimensional suppression."
