388: Chapter 377: You Can’t Afford My Price 388: Chapter 377: You Can’t Afford My Price “Heh, I believe Lei Long down in Yellow Springs would be very happy knowing his properties were protected,” Gulang said with a smile, not shaken at all by Lei Ting’s comment.
“Uncle Gulang, you should go rest there after you’ve paid your respects; there’s a little matter that I need to announce later,” Lei Ting said very politely.
After this, it was the turn for many small group leaders to pay their respects; even Long Tiantian came with her pair of “sister flowers”, but her expression seemed gloomy, who knew who had upset her.
After finishing her respects, Long Tiantian looked around and, upon spotting Song Yun, headed straight toward him.
Meng Ku smartly vacated a seat, and Long Tiantian plopped down on the chair saying, “This really pisses me off.”
“I’m really curious as to who could anger Long Tiantian to death; must be some god,” Song Yun said, casually holding his cup.
“It’s that Fierce Tiger’s Regent King, of course,” Long Tiantian said, aggrieved.
“Regent King?
Who is that?” Song Yun asked curiously, considering that the Fierce Tiger was already on its decline, where did this weed of a king spring from?
“This Lei Ting is the new Gang Leader, and that man assists Lei Ting in organizing matters—simply put, he’s just using Lei Ting as a puppet.
The one really pulling the strings behind the scenes is him,” said Long Tiantian, frowning.
“I was late today entirely because of that bastard.”
“He even dared to intercept me halfway up the mountain and wanted to form an alliance—even built an alliance, he tried to take advantage of me.”
“What happened next?
You’re not someone easy to mess with.
Did you not fight back?
Even if your Lotus is at a developmental bottleneck, surely you could resist Fierce Tiger,” said Song Yun, taking a sip of tea.
“How could I not?
I slapped him right across the face.
Bastard, trying to take advantage of me—he had to pay the price,” Long Tiantian threw her words around, yet her body kept nudging closer to Song Yun, as if he couldn’t hear her.
Song Yun, annoyed, pushed Long Tiantian’s delicate face away and said, “Don’t get so close; people might think something’s going on between us.”
“Psh, they’re all a bunch of cowards.
Even if they think that, so what?
Weren’t they planning to unite against Gulang?
Yet, when they meet today, they don’t even dare fart,” Long Tiantian said loudly, causing the other leaders to glower in anger.
Long Tiantian, tearing off any pretense, stood up, pointed at them, and shouted, “Why are you staring at me?
Do you want to bully me?
Come on, come on.
I’m standing right here, see if any of you dare to touch a finger on me.”
“Long Tiantian, don’t push people too far,” a middle-aged man with a beer belly roared.
“Yeah, you’re just a metro bus with a high fare—a high-priced mistress, what right do you have to talk to us?”
Long Tiantian pulled out a pack of specials from Song Yun’s pocket, lit up a cigarette, and said, “I just look down on you, a bunch of cowards.
You can only bad-mouth people.
Besides, even if I were a high-priced mistress, you couldn’t afford me.”
This statement really angered everyone present, and even Gulang looked at Song Yun with a puzzled look, thinking Song Yun had put Long Tiantian up to this, but seeing Song Yun’s innocent look, Gulang was even more confused.
“Alright, enough; all the elders present, you wouldn’t want my father to not rest in peace, would you?
If so, please, let’s proceed; it’s time for my father to be interred,” Lei Ting stepped out to mediate, showing potential to lead.
He had a way with words that really appealed to all sides.
Since the new Fierce Tiger leader had given them a way out, they took the cue.
As for Long Tiantian, she remained feisty, coldly watching them leave.
The burial was to be held outdoors, but with light rain outside, everyone had no choice but to pick up the black umbrellas provided by Fierce Tiger and head toward the back mountain.
Outside, Long Tiantian, holding a black umbrella next to Song Yun, resembled a little wife worried about her husband getting wet.
If Song Yun didn’t know this woman was a tyrant, he might actually have been fooled by her act.
“Why aren’t you standing with Xinyue and Han Yue?
Why stick with me?” Song Yun said, annoyed.
“Look at those other leaders; how many of them are real men?” Long Tiantian pouted, “Having such a beauty holding an umbrella for you, aren’t you pleased?”
“Ah, why do you cling to me for dear life?
Let’s make it clear, our relationship is pure, don’t think because I’m handsome you can take advantage of me,” Song Yun, crossing his arms, watched her warily.
Long Tiantian almost lost her temper at his words; that bastard really had a biting tongue, casually throwing out something that could choke a person, “Rest assured, you’re not even as handsome as those stars on TV.”
“You’re talking about eco?
They indeed look good, plus they’re pretty; all their members are my goddesses,” Song Yun said earnestly.
“Pfft~”
Long Tiantian almost burst out laughing, having never seen anyone so brazenly self-assured when those guys were obviously men, but the kid still called them his goddesses, “Sure, you have plenty of goddesses.”
“You don’t understand,” Song Yun waved his hand in a somewhat pompous manner.
“Speaking of which, holding the umbrella is one thing, but why are you also clinging to my arm?
If people didn’t know better, they might think we’re a couple.”
“I wouldn’t mind being a couple with you, maybe you should think it over?” Long Tiantian said with a teasing smile.
“Sister not only has herself, you know, being your girlfriend, sister might bring along two more beautiful ladies.”
“Don’t tempt me—I can’t resist temptation,” Song Yun said shyly.
“I know there aren’t many pure and kind-hearted young men like me around these days, but you can’t be so straightforward about it; people get embarrassed, you know.”
“I didn’t see that coming; show me how you get embarrassed for sister,” Long Tiantian, using her slender finger, tilted up Song Yun’s chin, laughing.
“Ouch, I really am so embarrassed.” Don’t mention it, Song Yun’s acting was indeed not bad; he could blush on command, playing the part of an inexperienced young gentleman.
“Don’t look at me like that; you make me shiver all over,” Long Tiantian shuddered, “Lei Long’s confirmed dead now, and everyone’s finally laid that stone in their hearts to rest.”
“How can you say that, Lei Long was such a good man, giving me markets and opportunities for growth.
If you keep slandering him like this, I might stop sharing Fierce Tiger’s market with you.”
