Shen Yiman felt no favor towards the young man before her. She knew that Bai Wanli, while outwardly refined, was inwardly incredibly dark, resorting to any means to achieve his goals. He had once gotten a girl pregnant and tricked her into an abortion, only to cruelly discard her afterward. Although the matter was suppressed by the Bai family, Shen Yiman learned of Bai Wanli's character from a friend, deeming him nothing less than scum.
Ignoring Bai Wanli, Shen Yiman linked her arm with Lu Yang's and said with a smile, "Lu Yang, let's sit over here!"
After speaking, Shen Yiman and Lu Yang sat at a table near the door.
"Shen Yiman, what do you mean? Young Master Bai has traveled all the way from Yan Jing, hurry and come sit by Young Master Bai!"
Shen Ronghua's expression changed, and he looked at Shen Yiman, shouting coldly.
"My boyfriend is Lu Yang. It doesn't make sense for me to sit next to someone else instead of my boyfriend!"
Shen Yiman retorted directly.
"Your boyfriend? I've already found out. This kid is just the vice president of your company; he's not even as high in rank as you. You're looking for him as a boyfriend? Is your brain short-circuited?"
Upon hearing Shen Yiman's words, Shen Ronghua roared angrily.
"Uncle Shen, please calm down. Since Yiman hasn't recognized the situation yet, don't be anxious. Perhaps Yiman will come to her senses in a few days!"
Bai Wanli smiled faintly, looking at Shen Ronghua to comfort him. At the same time, he cast his gaze upon Lu Yang. He appraised Lu Yang for a few seconds, and then a subtle killing intent flickered in his eyes. Though no one noticed, it did not escape Lu Yang's attention.
"Hello, sir. My name is Bai Wanli, the heir of the Bai family in Yan Jing. I still don't know how you are addressed?"
Bai Wanli looked at Lu Yang and spoke very politely.
"Lu Yang!"
Lu Yang uttered two words directly.
"What kind of attitude is that? Young Master Bai is speaking to you so humbly; it's your life's fortune. You're actually so defiant; truly an uncouth person!"
Seeing Lu Yang like this, Shen Ronghua immediately reprimanded him coldly.
"Did I say something wrong? He asked me how I was addressed, and I gave my name. Do I need to list my age, height, and hobbies as well?"
Lu Yang sneered.
"You..."
Shen Ronghua was instantly infuriated by the retort.
"Alright, Uncle Shen, calm down. Let's eat first!"
"Waiter, serve the dishes!"
Bai Wanli called out softly. Soon, various dishes were served, all rare delicacies. Several of them were flown in from abroad, such as Australian lobsters, South American white crystal shrimp, and so on.
Coupled with two bottles of Louis XIV, the table of dishes cost over a million.
"Mr. Lu, this is Louis XIV; one bottle costs over two hundred thousand. The fact that you can drink it is all thanks to Yiman's fortune!"
The waiter poured the wine, and Bai Wanli explained from the side.
"Then thank you, Yiman!"
Lu Yang smiled slightly and said to Shen Yiman.
"You're welcome. We're here to eat today, just order whatever you like, and relax!"
Shen Yiman also smiled slightly.
Soon, the two began to eat without restraint, their table manners appearing crude to Bai Wanli and Shen Ronghua, who were both startled but couldn't say anything.
Just then, Liu Hui walked in.
"Helmsman Shen!"
Liu Hui walked in and greeted Shen Wanli with a smile.
"Liu Hui, come quickly!"
"Let me introduce you. This is the heir of the Bai family in Yan Jing, Young Master Bai Wanli!"
Shen Ronghua's face instantly lit up when he saw Liu Hui walk in and directly introduced him to Liu Hui.
"Young Master Bai!"
Liu Hui looked at Bai Wanli and greeted him with a smile.
"You're too kind, President Liu. I've heard great things about you!"
Bai Wanli smiled faintly and said humbly.
"This is my daughter, Shen Yiman!"
Shen Ronghua introduced his daughter but deliberately omitted Lu Yang. Lu Yang, of course, recognized Liu Hui, but they had already agreed yesterday not to reveal Lu Yang's identity, so Liu Hui said nothing.
"I am certainly familiar with President Shen's name. The general manager of Black Dragon Capital, who turned Black Dragon Capital into a multi-billion dollar enterprise in just one month. Impressive!"
Liu Hui looked at Shen Yiman and said with a smile.
"President Liu is too polite!"
Shen Yiman said with a smile. She knew about Liu Hui's relationship with Lu Yang; they had even dined together last night.
Since neither Lu Yang nor Liu Hui said anything, Shen Yiman naturally wouldn't bring it up.
"Liu Hui, I asked you to come today to help me with something. This kid has been harboring improper intentions towards my daughter. Please kick him out!"
Shen Ronghua said directly to Liu Hui.
"Helmsman Shen, what do you mean?"
Liu Hui looked at Shen Ronghua with a hint of surprise.
"The meaning is simple. This kid's identity is not worthy of my daughter. Since you're the local big shot in Jiangbei City, with just one word from you, you can get rid of this kid, or even kill him!"
Shen Ronghua continued.
"President Shen, I see that your daughter and this young man are truly in love. Why don't you fulfill their wish and let them be together? Wouldn't that be a beautiful thing?"
Liu Hui said with a smile.
"Liu Hui, what do you mean?"
"I am the vice president of the Hongmen Yan Jing branch. Now I'm asking you to handle this small matter, and you're playing dumb with me. Do you not want to do this anymore?"
Hearing Liu Hui's words, Shen Ronghua instantly became enraged, pointing at Liu Hui and roaring coldly.
"Helmsman Shen, please calm down. I am merely stating the truth. However, it is already the 21st century; marriage is a matter of freedom. Moreover, this young man has not done anything out of line. As the president of the Hongmen Jiang Province branch, I naturally have the right to act impartially, rather than making any decision that harms personal safety due to personal prejudice!"
Liu Hui explained to Shen Ronghua.
"Liu Hui, I didn't expect you to become the president of the Jiang Province branch, and your wings have grown so strong. You know, you were just a small fry in the Jiangbei City branch before. I, Shen Ronghua, never took you seriously. Even if you are now the president of the Jiang Province branch, in my eyes, Shen Ronghua, you are still nothing. I'll give you one last chance. If you don't act, I will take action myself. By then, not only this kid, but your Hongmen Jiang Province branch might also have a change of president!"
Shen Ronghua's expression turned cold as he spoke coldly to Liu Hui.
"Is that so? Since Helmsman Shen speaks like that, then I, Liu Hui, would also like to see what methods Helmsman Shen has that can make me, Liu Hui, lower my status!"
Liu Hui sneered, not putting Shen Ronghua in his eyes at all. Lu Yang was his boss, and now Shen Ronghua wanted Liu Hui to ruin his boss's happiness. Wasn't that forcing him to slap himself in the face? No matter how capable Liu Hui was, he couldn't do something like that.
"Fine, Liu Hui. I didn't expect you to be courting death. Then don't blame me for being impolite. Just you wait; within three days, experts will be sent from Hongmen Yan Jing to eliminate you!"
Shen Ronghua said coldly.
