457: Chapter 446: Torn Apart 457: Chapter 446: Torn Apart “Song Yun, how can you talk like that?” Hao Ying said indignantly, clutching her small bag.
“We’re all civilized people, why should we resort to street fighting?
Doing so would make us look like monkey performers, and that’s not good at all.”
Brother Wang and his group were extremely thankful upon hearing this.
Brother Wang thought to himself, “Damn, this kind of woman is simply too good.
It seems my taste remains high-end and classy.
Listen to that, could an ordinary person say something like that?”
Even those who had just been on Song Yun’s side now nodded in approval.
“This girl is a tough one,” they thought.
“Brother Wang does have good taste.
Only thing is, could I get involved too?
Marrying such a girl would be a real stroke of luck.”
But what Hao Ying said next shattered their naive hopes and gave them the feeling of having their hearts broken.
Hao Ying angrily turned to Song Yun and said, “If there really needs to be a competition, we should choose a formal venue, and the rules of the competition must be perfected.
I happen to know a secluded Martial Arts Hall; how about we go there instead?”
What’s called adding fuel to the fire?
What’s putting salt on the wound?
Song Yun was openly ridiculing them, looking down on them, beguiling them, while Hao Ying was persistently jabbing and stoking from behind, stabbing their hearts repeatedly.
The two were working seamlessly together, even displaying a tacit understanding that left Brother Wang and his group heartbroken beyond measure.
Just now, Brother Wang thought Hao Ying had a change of heart and would stand by them.
But now his dreams were shattered, feeling tossed around like on a roller coaster, with his heart lurching uncomfortably.
“Yeah, why didn’t I think of that?
You’re all civilized people; surely, you wouldn’t fight so barbarically.
Let’s have a civilized contest at the Martial Arts Hall then.” Song Yun looked at them sincerely and smiled.
“This…
Hey, Dad, why are you calling me now?
Oh, oh, oh, it’s my cousin’s birthday today, huh?
Just look at my memory; I will be right back.”
“Ouch, my stomach, why does it hurt so much?
I can’t take it; I need to find a bathroom.”
“Damn, I’ve been yapping with you guys here and almost forgot: my wife is giving birth today.
I gotta go, brothers; you all keep going strong.”
“My head is hurting so bad, my family’s hereditary illness is acting up again.
Xiao Liu, quickly support me; I feel like I’m dying.”
Brother Wang heard these discordant voices and was so angry he felt like he could die and come back to life.
That guy on the phone, his cousin-in-law died two years ago.
I even helped you out back then, and now you’re celebrating a birthday, what, down below the ground?
And that guy with the stomachache, there’s a hotel right there.
Its bathroom is bigger than your home’s, and you don’t go there but drive off instead?
Are you planning to drive out of town to do your business?
The most ridiculous one is this childbirth business.
When the hell did you get married that I don’t know about?
Is this the first time in years you’ve knocked a girl up?
If your wife was giving birth, would you be out here messing with us?
Looking around, he found that the crowd that was with him just a moment ago had dwindled to only himself and two bodyguards, standing there isolated.
You sons of bitches, always calling me brother this and brother that, but now that I’m in trouble, you all run off, even taking the bodyguards with you.
What a bunch of bastards.
Song Yun stepped forward, patted his shoulder, and said with a sigh, “Life is short.
How long does one live, after all?
Merely a century at best, and in a hundred years, we all turn to a cupful of yellow earth.
Judging by today’s events, the quality of friends you keep does not seem very high.”
“It’s sad to say, but they just abandoned you.
Even your helpers didn’t wait.
You truly live a suffocated life.”
“What are you trying to say?
Do you still want to shame me at a time like this?” Brother Wang looked fiercely at Song Yun.
“If you want to humiliate me, then you’ve succeeded.
I’ve lost this time.”
“No, if I wanted to humiliate you, I wouldn’t even bother with you.
On the contrary, you haven’t lost this time, you’ve won.” Song Yun spoke earnestly, “What’s face worth?
Can you eat honor?
Can you spend it as money?
Since you can’t do either, face is just an accessory to honor.”
“Today, you may have lost face, but you’ve come to know what kind of people you have around you.
Think about it, fortunately, you annoyed me today.
What if you had bothered someone really powerful?
They leave you behind, and then you’d be the one to take the blame for everything.”
“Compared to being backstabbed in the future, now that you know their true colors, just stop hanging out with them and isn’t that better for you?
You’ve won today by saving your future.”
Brother Wang, after listening to Song Yun’s words, felt a bit of warmth in his heart.
He sniffed, took a deep look at Song Yun, then walked away with his bodyguards without saying a word.
Song Yun, watching his desolate figure, laughed heartily.
“Damn, you guys who understand nothing think you can compete with me?
With just a few words, I’ve torn you apart.”
“You really are something,” Hao Ying approached, clicking her tongue in amazement.
“I know that Wang Chuan is a person who doesn’t give up easily.
I didn’t expect he would actually be convinced by you.”
“Heh, it’s nothing much.
I believe that after they go back, their little group is sure to fall apart,” Song Yun said with a smile.
“You really are wicked, hitting right at the core and filling their hearts with fear, making them run away one by one.”
“It was all thanks to you playing along so well.
If you hadn’t fanned the flames beside me, I wouldn’t have been able to scare them off so quickly.”
Song Yun and Hao Ying exchanged a glance and burst out laughing.
Song Yun smacked his lips and said, “Since this is settled, let’s go.
We’ll catch up by phone some other time.”
“Alright, you better not play disappearing again,” Hao Ying waved and called out.
Sitting in the car, Song Yuxue curiously asked Song Yun, “Brother, we clearly could have just left earlier, so why did we spend so much time talking nonsense with them?”
“The spoiled rich kids here are different from those abroad.
Here, face is important.
If we had just left today, it would’ve stoked their competitive spirit and we would’ve faced more trouble later.”
“But if I step in, a few words can clear up the misunderstanding and even cause them to split up.
The trouble is averted, and now Wang Chuan owes me a favor.
Heh, you should have seen how rich Wang Chuan’s expression was just now.”
