Xue Zhiyuan and Wang Li's deliberate posturing was completely ignored by Li Xiaotian, who maintained the motion of handing out the card and said to Zhang Dan.
"Swipe it, whatever the amount, no discounts."
"Yes, sir!" Zhang Dan's heart was filled with ecstasy. Selling three of the most expensive clothes in the store at once meant her commission for the day would exceed her salary for the entire previous month. Why would she care if the other party regretted it later?
"Password is 123456," Li Xiaotian added, then looked at Ye Qingmei with deep affection.
"You look beautiful in this outfit. Tiantian and I both love it."
"Don't think it's too expensive. If you didn't like it, this wouldn't have been the first gift I brought back for you. It's almost too cheap."
"You also know that money is just a string of numbers to me."
Ye Qingmei still wanted to refuse, but under Li Xiaotian's affectionate gaze, she nodded, tacitly accepting his decision.
However, Li Xiaotian's words sounded to Xue Zhiyuan like he was deliberately bragging to appear wealthy. He sneered, his tone mocking.
"Brother, is it wise to inflate yourself beyond your means? I know ninety thousand yuan must be a painful amount for you, but you're saying this purely for show, aren't you?"
"You call a ninety-thousand-yuan outfit cheap, and money is just a string of numbers to you? Heh, isn't it just ten digits?"
"Brother, it's always better to be honest."
Xue Zhiyuan had initially intended to maintain his image as a successful gentleman in front of Ye Qingmei. But upon hearing Li Xiaotian's boastful words, he couldn't hold back.
He didn't care what Ye Qingmei would think of him. Since he had already met her, he was determined to have her in his bed later, regardless of her willingness.
"Xue Zhiyuan, please show some respect to my husband!" Ye Qingmei frowned, looking coldly at Xue Zhiyuan.
"Oh! What's wrong? Brother Yuan is just speaking the truth. Miss Ye, Brother Yuan is looking out for you out of consideration for your classmate relationship. While his words may be harsh, they are not wrong."
Wang Li, linking her arm with Xue Zhiyuan's, immediately retorted.
"You should know that even our Brother Yuan, as the chairman of Xue Group, wouldn't speak such grand words."
"You must have heard of Xue Group, right? It's Brother Yuan's family business. Brother Yuan's net worth is billions."
At this moment, Zhang Dan had just finished the transaction and returned with the card. However, her gaze towards Li Xiaotian was somewhat strange, even shocked.
When she swiped the card earlier, because Li Xiaotian had told her the password, she had curiously glanced at the account balance.
Zhang Dan swore she had never seen such a long string of numbers in her life, so long she couldn't count them at a glance.
"Mr. Li, here is your card!" Zhang Dan handed the card back to Li Xiaotian with both hands, respectfully.
Xue Zhiyuan's heart sank. He had seen many sales personnel like Zhang Dan. Did this behavior mean that Li Xiaotian, this good-for-nothing, was actually wealthy?
A rich second-generation?
Li Xiaotian took the card, picked up the clothes, and then smiled at Ye Qingmei.
"Let's go home. There are too many flies here."
"Okay!" Ye Qingmei nodded, suppressing a smile. She found it amusing that Li Xiaotian had referred to Xue Zhiyuan as a fly, showing no regard for him.
"Stop right there! Li Xiaotian, what do you mean by that? Say that again if you dare!"
Xue Zhiyuan was instantly enraged. A fierce glint flashed in his eyes, and his face flushed as he stared at Li Xiaotian.
Li Xiaotian stopped and looked back at Xue Zhiyuan, his tone indifferent.
"There are too many flies. What, do you think you're a fly?"
"Let's go, Xiaotian." Ye Qingmei tugged at Li Xiaotian's sleeve, not wanting him to cause trouble.
Xue Zhiyuan's expression turned ferocious. Provocation! This guy was provoking him!
He, the esteemed heir of Xue Group, the future chairman, was being provoked by a man who lived off his wife!
He couldn't stand it!
"Want to leave? Ye Qingmei, if your husband disrespects me like this, do you think you can just walk away?"
Xue Zhiyuan said through gritted teeth, his tone sinister.
"Xue Zhiyuan, that's enough. What do you want?" Ye Qingmei frowned and shot Li Xiaotian an exasperated look. This man was causing too much trouble since his return.
This was Daqin Kingdom! What if he provoked someone powerful one day? Why couldn't he restrain himself?
"What do I want? Heh, it's simple. I want Li Xiaotian to kneel and apologize! And you, stay and have dinner with me tonight!"
Xue Zhiyuan sneered, no longer hiding his intentions, his eyes fixed on Ye Qingmei with burning desire.
Wang Li and Zhang Dan, standing nearby, were too scared to make a sound. They knew Xue Zhiyuan was genuinely angry.
Li Xiaotian patted Ye Qingmei's shoulder and picked up Tiantian, placing her in Ye Qingmei's arms. Their daughter was getting sleepy.
After doing all this, Li Xiaotian finally walked towards Xue Zhiyuan, his eyes cold.
"I didn't want to bother with an ant like you, but you're insistent on seeking death."
"Tell me, do you die alone, or does your family die with you?"
Xue Zhiyuan heard this and laughed instead of getting angry. The mask was off, and this good-for-nothing was still pretending?
"Li Xiaotian, can you stop pretending? Do you believe I can control your family's future with a single phone call?"
Xue Zhiyuan's tone was arrogant, and he pulled out his phone, ready to make a call. He looked down at Li Xiaotian condescendingly.
"Kneel and apologize! Otherwise, I'll toy with your wife right in front of you tonight!"
Boom! A terrifying aura emanated from Li Xiaotian's expression. He stared intently at Xue Zhiyuan, but thinking of his wife and daughter behind him, he turned and said to Ye Qingmei.
"Take Tiantian and wait for me outside."
After all, Tiantian was still young, and he wanted to avoid her seeing her father hit someone. What if she became afraid of him?
Li Xiaotian had fully embraced his role as a father, always considering his precious daughter.
"Xiaotian, don't cause any more trouble." Ye Qingmei held Tiantian as she left, saying this.
"Don't worry, I'll be mindful of my limits!" Li Xiaotian nodded.
However, this scene made Xue Zhiyuan believe that Ye Qingmei's family was afraid of him and ready to submit. And the reason Li Xiaotian had asked his wife and daughter to leave was simply to spare them the shame of seeing him kneel and apologize.
"Heh, your wife and daughter are gone. Now, you should kneel and apologize, right? Don't worry, as long as you behave in the future, I won't mistreat your family."
Xue Zhiyuan said with arrogance, looking disdainfully at Li Xiaotian. You wanted to show off to me, but now you've angered me. Are you scared now?
"Bang!" Li Xiaotian remained silent and directly kicked Xue Zhiyuan in the face. Xue Zhiyuan's body flew backward, knocking over numerous clothing racks.
