"Why?"
Facing Zhao Tianyuan's commanding tone, Lin Feng remained seated.
Zhao Tianyuan hadn't expected Lin Feng to disrespect him so openly. Although displeased, he maintained his composure and said, "My friend, I am a black card VIP here, and also Xiao Wan's most important friend. I need to speak with her in person about some matters! Please, would you mind stepping aside?"
Zheng Youlong and Qin Wenwen stood by, smiling and saying nothing, as if enjoying Lin Feng's predicament.
Zhao Tianyuan was the eldest grandson of the Zhao family in Qingcheng. The Zhao family's power was on par with the Tang family. It was common knowledge that Zhao Tianyuan was pursuing Tang Wan.
Most importantly, Zhao Tianyuan was known for his extreme possessiveness.
Anything Zhao Tianyuan desired, no one else could touch.
Lin Feng's closeness to Tang Wan was tantamount to a challenge to Zhao Tianyuan.
To everyone's surprise, Lin Feng's next response was even more provocative!
"So what if I have a black card? Who doesn't?"
"Besides, even if I am Miss Tang's most important friend, must I give up my seat for you? Do you not understand how to respect others, or are you deliberately showing off your superiority?" Lin Feng questioned coldly.
Zhao Tianyuan's face instantly darkened. He had never been spoken to like this in his life. However, glancing at Tang Wan, who was smiling, Zhao Tianyuan held back.
"This friend has quite a personality. I was presumptuous. May I know your esteemed surname, my friend?" Zhao Tianyuan inquired calmly, curious about which family Lin Feng belonged to, to dare treat him with such disregard.
Before Lin Feng could reply, Tang Wan spoke up, "Mr. Zhao, this is Mr. Lin Feng, my distinguished guest. We are discussing some very important matters. Please wait aside for a moment!"
"Distinguished guest?"
Zhao Tianyuan narrowed his eyes. As Tang Wan's most fervent admirer, he was exceptionally sensitive to rivals. This person named Lin Feng clearly had an unusual relationship with Tang Wan. At the same time, Zhao Tianyuan knew he couldn't lose his composure in front of Tang Wan. He forced a smile, "Very well, you discuss. We will dine over there."
With that, Zhao Tianyuan led Zheng Youlong and Qin Wenwen to a nearby table.
"Zheng Youlong, go and investigate this kid's background immediately. I want all his information!" Zhao Tianyuan commanded coldly.
"Mr. Zhao, there's no need to investigate. I'm an old acquaintance of this kid."
"Oh? You know him?" Zhao Tianyuan's interest was piqued.
A strong hint of malevolence flashed in Zheng Youlong's eyes. He deliberately disparaged Lin Feng, "I was his schoolmate. This guy was interested in my girlfriend back then and persistently pursued her. When I found out, I beat him up."
"After that, he set his sights on Miss Tang, scheming to win her favor. In reality, this guy is a scumbag who will stop at nothing!"
As soon as he said this, the coldness in Zhao Tianyuan's eyes intensified. "Good heavens, how dare he have designs on Xiao Wan? I think he's tired of living!"
"Exactly. Someone like him, how can he be worthy of approaching Miss Tang? How can he dare to provoke you, Mr. Zhao, in front of Miss Tang?" Zheng Youlong added fuel to the fire, seeing Zhao Tianyuan's anger being stirred.
Qin Wenwen chimed in opportunely, "Yes, Mr. Zhao. Besides your dashing charm, who else in this world is worthy of Miss Tang's peerless beauty!"
Although Zhao Tianyuan enjoyed Qin Wenwen's flattery, he was not one to believe slander easily. If Lin Feng were truly as cunning and insidious as Zheng Youlong described, Tang Wan, with her intelligence, would surely have seen through him.
With this thought, Zhao Tianyuan probed, "Zheng Youlong, from what you're saying, you and Lin Feng have quite a bit of animosity. Aren't you trying to use me to deal with him?"
"Mr. Zhao, even if you gave me a hundred times the courage, I wouldn't dare to use you!" Zheng Youlong exclaimed, startled. He quickly explained, "If I wanted to deal with him, why would I need Mr. Zhao to act? I could do it myself!"
"I doubt you have the guts! I will investigate this Lin Feng thoroughly. You don't need to interfere!" Zhao Tianyuan said coldly and then quietly watched the movements of Lin Feng and Tang Wan.
At this point, Lin Feng and Tang Wan had nearly finished their meal. Lin Feng got up to bid farewell, "Miss Tang, since your friend has found you, I won't disturb you further. I'll head to the antique market later to find a suitable ornament for you."
"Thank you for your trouble, Mr. Lin. I'll have my brother accompany you. If you find something suitable, he can pay for it directly." Tang Wan smiled slightly and sent a message to Tang Pinliang, asking him to wait for Lin Feng at the hotel entrance.
Seeing Lin Feng leave, Zhao Tianyuan also immediately got up. "Alright, you two can go first. Xiao Wan and I need to talk privately."
"Understood, Mr. Zhao. We'll meet again another day." Zheng Youlong, being perceptive, took Qin Wenwen away and then quickly caught up with the departing Lin Feng.
"Lin, why are you walking so fast? Are you in a hurry to be reborn?"
Lin Feng stopped and turned around, facing the couple in front of him. He angrily retorted, "What the hell are you talking about? Am I your father? Why are you always pestering me?"
"Screw you! Who are you talking to like that!" Zheng Youlong couldn't help but curse, his face contorted with rage. "Lin Feng, don't think just because someone's backing you, I won't dare to touch you!"
"Let me tell you the truth, my dad has already been promoted to the chief director of the Central Hospital. That old fossil Zou Jianghao has been transferred to that godforsaken place, the Medical Research Institute!"
"And that dog, Li Weimin, has also been transferred by my dad's old classmate to support the rural areas in the mountains!"
"Now, your greatest support is gone. What else do you have to be arrogant about!" Zheng Youlong revealed a smug smile, while Qin Wenwen stood beside him with disdain and mockery.
Upon hearing this news, although Lin Feng was somewhat surprised, he did not show the dejection and despair that Zheng Youlong expected. Instead, he unleashed a powerful aura. "Zheng Youlong, you've gotten one thing wrong!"
"My greatest support isn't others, but myself!"
"I'm keeping track of every single thing you and your father have done to me!"
"What goes around comes around. The time just hasn't come yet!" Lin Feng said coldly, then turned to leave without further regard for the despicable pair.
"Damn it, you're getting cocky!"
"I'll fucking kill you!"
Zheng Youlong, enraged, tried to chase after Lin Feng to beat him up, but Qin Wenwen stopped him.
"Darling, there's no need to stoop to the level of trash like him. Young Master Zhao will deal with him. We just need to wait and watch the show!"
"Uncle is the chief director now. He's not on the same level as us anymore!"
Zheng Youlong's anger subsided slightly as he put his arm around Qin Wenwen. "As expected of my little darling, you think of everything. See how your husband will deal with you tonight, you little vixen!"
"Oh, I can't wait any longer. Hurry!" Qin Wenwen coquettishly acted in Zheng Youlong's arms, letting out a seductive laugh that made one's imagination run wild.
