When Feng Xiuming walked out, Ji Linghan immediately threw herself into his arms, disregarding the possibility of being photographed. With a wronged expression, she sobbed, "Young Master Feng, he hit me, he hit me in front of so many people. You must seek justice for me."
Feng Xiuming comforted Ji Linghan, saying, "Don't worry. Since I personally invited you, if you are wronged at this banquet, I will naturally seek justice for you."
"Young Master, he is Li Se," Old Feng whispered in his ear.
Feng Xiuming was somewhat surprised. He sized up Li Se for a good while before saying, "Don't you know that Ji Linghan was personally invited by me? How dare you lay a hand on her at this banquet? Can you give me an explanation?"
"She hit my woman, so I hit her. It's perfectly fair," Li Se replied nonchalantly, giving the impression that he didn't take Feng Xiuming seriously at all.
The surrounding crowd gasped. This guy was incredibly arrogant, speaking to Feng Xiuming with such an attitude. After all, Feng Xiuming was the young master of the Feng family, a prominent clan in the capital, and this banquet was hosted by him. None of the second-generation rich present dared to offend Feng Xiuming.
"How can this guy be so arrogant?"
"Daring to act like that towards Young Master Feng, he probably hasn't experienced the harshness of society."
"Apologize properly, and there might still be a chance. With such a defiant attitude, he's like a newborn calf fearless of a tiger."
"Too foolish, truly too foolish. I don't know how he'll die later!"
"..."
No one thought highly of Li Se. In their opinion, with such an attitude, Li Se might not even see tomorrow's sun.
Feng Xiuming looked at Xia Shuyu beside him, his eyes nearly bulging out. Beautiful, she was too beautiful. The moment he saw her, his heart was smitten. A smile immediately spread across his face as he chuckled, "Beautiful lady, what should I call you?"
Xia Shuyu frowned slightly. Feng Xiuming's gaze made her very uncomfortable.
"How about becoming my woman?" Feng Xiuming, completely unfazed by Li Se's presence, openly tried to poach her.
"I'm sorry, I already have a boyfriend," Xia Shuyu replied.
"It doesn't matter. Perhaps you don't know my identity yet," Feng Xiuming smiled. "The Feng family is a prominent clan in the capital. You must have heard of the Feng family's boxing, right? If you follow me, you'll have a life of luxury, which is far better than following this kid."
"Young Master Feng, you must seek justice for me," Ji Linghan said anxiously.
"Don't worry," Feng Xiuming patted her hand.
"Beautiful lady, have you considered it?" Feng Xiuming appeared impatient.
"Are you sure you want to poach her in front of me?" Li Se frowned slightly.
"How can that be called poaching?" Feng Xiuming clearly had no such awareness. "People strive for progress. If this beautiful lady is moved, perhaps she'd prefer someone wealthy and influential like me. You should respect her personal choice, right?"
Xia Shuyu stated decisively, "Then you can rest assured, I won't go with you. I love my current boyfriend very much."
Feng Xiuming paused for a moment but didn't pay much attention. He continued, "It doesn't matter. You think you love your current boyfriend very much, but it's simply because the price isn't high enough. One million. As long as you become my girlfriend, I'll give you one million immediately, plus a house. You can pick any in Qingyun City, and the same goes for a car."
Upon hearing this, even some of the wealthy young ladies around were envious. What is called generosity, this is true generosity! A million in cash, plus a house and a car, it was equivalent to giving ten million upon meeting. Honestly, they also wished to be pursued like this.
Moreover, Feng Xiuming's family background was extremely formidable. Marrying Feng Xiuming would be equivalent to marrying into a wealthy family. How many girls didn't want to marry into a wealthy family?
Even Ji Linghan was incredibly jealous. She didn't care much about the house and car; what she cared about was Feng Xiuming's family background. If she could marry into it, she would become a wealthy wife in the future. However, she knew the hope was slim, as Feng Xiuming likely saw her as merely a plaything. But even so, it was enough. At least no one present dared to offend her.
Even Li Se, who had Hong Chen backing him, would have to kneel!
"I'm not interested in you!" Xia Shuyu's reply was very direct. As soon as she said this, everyone in the room was stunned. Could there really be a woman who could resist such temptation?
This was the young master of a prominent capital family, and he could still be rejected?
"Did you hear that? She's not interested in you," Li Se said indifferently.
Feng Xiuming's face finally turned grim. "There isn't a woman I've set my sights on who could escape my grasp. I've changed my mind. I don't want you to be my woman; I want you to be my maid. Before I get too angry, take off your clothes, come to me, and beg!"
Xia Shuyu's expression changed. She hadn't expected Feng Xiuming to say such things.
The people around licked their lips. This Xia Shuyu was not just ordinarily beautiful; she had a very good figure. Almost no one present was not tempted. Every man would be attracted to a woman like Xia Shuyu, especially with her slightly mature allure, which also made many people eager to catch a glimpse of Xia Shuyu's figure.
"Did you hear Young Master Feng? Hurry and take off your clothes to beg Young Master Feng!" Seeing Xia Shuyu's indifference, someone immediately yelled.
*Slap!*
However, as soon as the person finished speaking, he was slapped aside by Li Se. His eyes carried a chilling glint as he slowly walked towards Feng Xiuming.
"What, you seem very unconvinced," Feng Xiuming appeared completely unconcerned.
Old Feng was also by his side, his eyes holding a trace of disdain. He admitted that Li Se's martial arts were good, but he was too inexperienced to contend with the Feng family. Therefore, he had never taken Li Se seriously from the beginning and was certain that this kid wouldn't dare to make a move.
*Slap!*
Another loud slap echoed.
Old Feng was stunned. He had just been so sure that Li Se wouldn't dare to act, but the next second his words were proven false when Li Se slapped Feng Xiuming. He almost jumped up. This was the young master of the Feng family, and Li Se actually dared to lay a hand on him?
At this moment, the entire banquet fell silent. Everyone's eyes were wide open, their faces filled with disbelief. Li Se had actually made a move, and his target was the young master of the Feng family, Feng Xiuming!
Mad, truly mad!
Everyone gasped, but soon, they also knew what Li Se's fate would be.
"You dare to hit me?" Feng Xiuming couldn't believe it. For a moment, he thought it was an illusion, but the stinging pain on his face told him it wasn't.
I've actually been hit, and in full view of everyone.
This happened even after Feng Xiuming had announced his family background.
Damn it, I'm angry!
