Outside the Guoxing Hotel, everyone was still in shock.
"Alas, I never expected Lu Yang to save us this time. How dare you treat Lu Yang like that before, you ungrateful wretches!" Lin Xue said coldly to the other classmates.
"Could it be... we were all wrong just now? Is Lu Yang actually the hidden rich man?" Song Nuan also said in disbelief.
"Hmph, bullshit! I'll never believe that a useless live-in son-in-law is some hidden rich man!"
"I know! This must be a trick by that dog Lu Yang. The waiters and the boss at the hotel were probably arranged by him beforehand, just to mess with us!" Zhang Kunhao's imagination was boundless, thinking of such things.
"But... didn't you say that person just now was Master Niu?" a classmate asked Zhang Kunhao.
"I just saw the way he was acting and thought it was him. Now that I think about it, it absolutely couldn't have been Master Niu. Master Niu wouldn't bow and scrape to a useless live-in son-in-law!" Zhang Kunhao said coldly.
"Exactly. Has anyone seen a hidden rich man ride an electric scooter to a class reunion? This is Lu Yang's electric scooter, that waste!" Song Nuan chimed in, walking forward and kicking Lu Yang's electric scooter to the ground.
Except for Lin Xue, everyone else agreed with Zhang Kunhao and Song Nuan. They were even discussing how to find an opportunity to teach Lu Yang a severe lesson to avenge their humiliation today.
"Goddess Song, where are you going? Shall I give you a ride?" Zhang Kunhao sidled up to her again, trying to be attentive.
"No need, I'm driving!" Song Nuan smiled faintly, pressed her car key, and a Range Rover not far away honked twice. Song Nuan then elegantly opened the car door and drove away. Seeing this, Zhang Kunhao felt as if he had eaten a pile of dung and quickly drove his BMW away from the Guoxing Hotel.
...
After Lu Yang came out, he saw his electric scooter kicked over on the ground. Without a word, he saw that it was still early and figured Li Xiumei hadn't sobered up yet. He rode his electric scooter towards Haitong Group. He hadn't eaten enough at the banquet, so Lu Yang saw a stall selling pan-fried buns outside Haitong Group. He bought a few, planning to eat one himself and take another one back for Tang Shimin.
"So fragrant!" Smelling the aroma in his hand, Lu Yang took out a pan-fried bun from the plastic bag. Just as he was about to eat it, a woman suddenly ran into him.
"Ah..." The woman cried out, and her phone instantly fell to the ground. Lu Yang's pan-fried bun stained the woman's white shirt a meaty color, emitting a rich aroma.
"What are you doing?"
"Lu Yang?"
"You... you did that on purpose!" The woman was none other than Song Nuan, the class beauty, whom they had just dined with.
"Song Nuan? What a coincidence?" Lu Yang said with a slight smile.
"What coincidence? I think you deliberately followed me and then rammed into me. You pervert!"
"Do you know what brand this shirt is? How much it costs?"
"This is an Armani limited edition, costing twenty thousand. Pay up!" Song Nuan didn't treat Lu Yang as a classmate at all. She had already decided that Lu Yang was behind the incident at the wedding and was even more disdainful of him now.
"Song Nuan, you should speak with a clear conscience. You bumped into me just now, okay? It's already good that I didn't ask you to pay for my pan-fried bun, and you want me to pay for your shirt?" Lu Yang said with a cold laugh. If you are unkind, don't blame me for being unrighteous!
"What? I bumped into you? You're hilarious. Why would I, with nothing better to do, bump into a useless live-in son-in-law like you?"
"Don't you see where this is? This is outside my company. You rammed into me at my company's doorstep and then tried to turn the tables? Do you really think Song Nuan is easy to bully?" Song Nuan looked at Lu Yang, her words becoming heated.
At this moment, the sales manager of Haitong Group walked over. This sales manager, Zheng Xiangdong, was short and arrogant. He had been busy and missed the board meeting held yesterday, so he didn't recognize Lu Yang at all. Zheng Xiangdong was pursuing Song Nuan and naturally wouldn't miss such a good opportunity to play the hero.
"Xiao Nuan, what happened?" Zheng Xiangdong asked with concern.
"This kid is trying to scam me. He bumped into me, got my clothes dirty, and instead of paying, he's trying to blame me and wants me to pay for his pan-fried buns!" Song Nuan said indignantly.
"What?"
"Kid, you dare to try and scam someone right outside our Haitong Group? Have you eaten bear guts and leopard bile? You even dare to scam the external relations manager of our Haitong Group!" Hearing this, Zheng Xiangdong immediately grabbed Lu Yang's collar and roared coldly.
"I'm scamming you? Heh! She bumped into me just now, and now she's crying wolf first. Don't you have surveillance cameras here? If you don't believe me, get the footage and check!" Lu Yang said directly, pointing to the camera above his head.
Seeing the camera, Song Nuan immediately panicked. She had indeed been busy answering her phone and hadn't noticed Lu Yang standing in front of her eating pan-fried buns, so she rammed into him. However, yesterday's incident had made Song Nuan very angry, which led her to falsely accuse Lu Yang.
"Camera?"
"Do you think you can just watch the cameras of our Haitong Group whenever you want?"
"Apologize to Xiao Nuan immediately and pay compensation, or I'll make sure you can't even eat properly!" Zheng Xiangdong roared fiercely at Lu Yang.
"Oh? Are all people from Haitong Group this unreasonable?" Hearing this, Lu Yang couldn't help but laugh.
"People from Haitong Group are of course reasonable, but it depends on who it is. For a scammer like you, there's no need to be reasonable!"
"If you pay up obediently, I can let you off. Otherwise, I'll call the police immediately and have you thrown into the police station for attempted scamming!" Zheng Xiangdong threatened coldly.
"Is that so?"
"I am also from Haitong Group. Do I need to be reasonable with someone from my own group?" Lu Yang looked at Zheng Xiangdong and continued to sneer.
"What? You're from Haitong Group? Hahaha, are you a clown sent by the monkeys? Based on your attire alone, you dare to impersonate an employee of our Haitong Group? Even our internal cleaners are dressed better than you!" Hearing Lu Yang's words, Zheng Xiangdong couldn't help but burst into laughter like a pig.
"Who is this kid? Is he a new employee at our company? But dressed like this, it's really embarrassing!"
"Since he's our employee, how dare he offend Manager Song? Doesn't he know that Manager Song is about to be promoted to Vice President? Is he not afraid of being subtly targeted in the company later?"
"Perhaps this kid is just trying to attract Manager Song's attention by scamming, a toad lusting after swan meat!"
"..."
Soon, several people gathered around. Lu Yang's words were overheard, and they were now discussing in hushed tones.
