Miao Qing had finally grown up, and he had even found the girl he fancied!
Even though this girl was an actress, his Miao family wasn't particular about such things. As long as the two truly loved each other, that was enough.
As soon as Elder Miao finished speaking, thunderous applause erupted from the scene, and all the guests cast envious glances at Miao Qing and Ailin!
Ailin affectionately linked arms with Miao Qing and waved to the guests below. Her smile became even more radiant when she spotted Er Zhu.
Er Zhu, however, didn't even glance at them. He turned and walked towards the sofa in the corner.
He had thought Ailin had found some powerful backing, but it turned out to be Elder Miao's grandson…
Fools are abundant every year, but this year is particularly so!
After Elder Miao said a few more words, he left. As soon as he was gone, all the guests rushed onto the stage to congratulate the golden couple.
Ailin's eyes narrowed into slits as she smiled. Seeing the fawning and flattering expressions of the guests, she knew she was not far from success!
The richest man was just one person, but she controlled the power of all the wealthy families except for the richest man!
Miao Qing, however, didn't understand what was going on. He just smiled along with Ailin, offering a complementary smile beside her.
Elder Miao was too busy to spend time with Er Zhu, so Er Zhu happily enjoyed his peace, drinking alone in the corner.
But to Ailin, this scene looked like he was too scared, hence drinking his sorrows away in the corner!
Ailin grew happier the more she watched. She linked arms with Miao Qing and walked towards Er Zhu.
“Qing gege, you must help me! When I was staying at the hotel, this brat sneaked into my bed in the middle of the night.”
Arriving in front of Er Zhu, Ailin once again displayed her superb acting skills. She pointed at Er Zhu and complained with feigned anger and grievance.
“What? Brat, you have quite the nerve! How dare you touch the woman of my Miao Qing!”
Upon hearing this, Miao Qing frowned tightly and reached out to grab Er Zhu’s collar. However, Er Zhu dodged him.
Miao Qing had been studying abroad and had only returned to China two months ago. Although he didn't recognize Er Zhu, he also didn't know Er Zhu's relationship with Elder Miao.
“Sob, sob… Qing gege, he even unbuttoned my clothes! I don’t know if I was defiled by him!”
Seeing Miao Qing’s displeased expression, Ailin’s eyes turned red. She continued to add, her voice laced with sobs!
“Damn it! Someone, get this guy out of here!”
Hearing this, Miao Qing became even more agitated. How could he tolerate such a thing happening to his pure and unsullied girlfriend!
Hearing the angry shouts, the surrounding guests also gathered. Of course, most of them didn’t recognize Er Zhu.
“Tsk tsk, this kid is finished today. Daring to touch the woman of the Miao family head, he'll definitely walk in and be carried out!”
“Is this kid an idiot? Messing with Young Master Miao’s fiancée and still daring to attend Elder Miao’s birthday banquet?”
“Not only stupid, but also broke. Look at what he’s wearing. Even the waiters here dress better than him!”
…
The guests sized up Er Zhu and whispered amongst themselves, their curses and taunts reaching his ears. Yet, Er Zhu remained calm.
“A woman like this? I wouldn’t want her even if she were given to me for free. Young Master Miao, use your brain sometime!”
Er Zhu was amused by Miao Qing’s words. He glanced contemptuously at Ailin and then pointed to his own head.
Were there no decent descendants in the Miao family? One was a love-struck fool, and the other was this idiotic…
Er Zhu was too lazy to explain. He picked up his wine glass and intended to leave, but how could Ailin let him go?
“Look, he’s actually daring to insult me in public! Qing gege, you must uphold justice for me!”
Hearing Er Zhu’s words, Ailin became even more furious. Anyone with eyes could tell that he was subtly reminding Miao Qing. If Miao Qing really figured something out, all her efforts in recent times would be in vain!
Not only that, but she, Ailin, would become a laughingstock of high society!
Thinking of this, Ailin increased her charming plea, her voice becoming even more intoxicating.
“Brat, if you dare to say another word, I’ll have someone break your legs!”
Just as Ailin worried that Miao Qing might figure things out, he unexpectedly didn’t. Miao Qing pointed at Er Zhu and roared, waving his hand. A dozen bodyguards appeared before him.
“Wuwu… Qing gege, I don’t want to live anymore. What’s the point of living if I’ve been defiled like this?”
Seeing the bodyguards, Ailin was overjoyed. However, she knew that to get the bodyguards to act, she still needed to add fuel to the fire!
“What are you all waiting for? Beat him! Beat him to death!”
As expected, Ailin’s charms had a miraculous effect on Miao Qing. If Miao Qing knew martial arts, he would have charged forward already!
“Young Master, Mr. Wang cannot be beaten…”
Liu Da, the captain of the bodyguards, looked at Er Zhu, then at Miao Qing, and quickly ran over to remind him.
Miao Qing had been abroad, but Liu Da was very familiar with Er Zhu. He understood even more how much respect Elder Miao had for him.
“Cannot be beaten? In this Willow Town, is there anyone my Miao Qing cannot beat?”
“Forget about these nouveau riche. Even the rich second generation from prominent families, my Miao Qing will beat them up!”
Miao Qing paused, then suddenly seemed to recall something, letting out a cold laugh and speaking with an arrogant demeanor.
There were only two types of people he, Miao Qing, couldn't afford to offend: those in good standing with his Miao family, and his Miao family's partners.
He didn’t recall his Miao family having such friends. Therefore, this brat must be a partner of the Miao family!
However, even if he was a partner, he was a very minor one. If such a person were beaten, at most he would be scolded by his grandfather. He could still afford to provoke them!
“You really can’t. He is the Old Master’s good friend… and also the reliance behind our Miao family!”
Liu Da frowned deeply and approached again. After confirming no one was eavesdropping, he quietly reminded him.
This kind of matter shouldn't be discussed in such a setting, but to prevent the young master from making a mistake, he had no choice but to speak.
“Hahaha, he… hahaha… our Miao family relies on him? It would be more accurate to say he relies on our Miao family!”
“Hahaha… I’m dying of laughter… hahahaha…”
As soon as Liu Da finished speaking, Miao Qing burst into laughter. His laughter grew louder and louder, until he couldn’t even speak a complete sentence.
Their Miao family was a top wealthy family in Willow Town. How could such a prominent family have a backer!
Liu Da’s words were simply the funniest joke he had ever heard in his life!
Seeing Miao Qing laughing so hard that tears streamed down his face, Liu Da exchanged glances with the bodyguards beside him. He finally understood why the Old Master was so uneasy when announcing the family head.
It was because this so-called family head was a complete idiot!
Seeing Miao Qing roaring with laughter, Ailin’s heart, which had been hanging by a thread, finally settled. She had heard everything Liu Da and Miao Qing said. If Er Zhu truly was the backing of the Miao family, then she would be the biggest fool in the world.
