"What did you say?"
Upon hearing this, Su Lan immediately became like a cat whose tail had been stepped on.
"What, you invited us here with Ye Zhiwei, and now you want to drive me away? Do you have any shame?"
She said with disdain, casting her gaze towards the guests present.
She attempted to use public pressure again to make Song Qiao yield.
"Song Qiao, what do you mean by that? What right do you have to make decisions on behalf of Lan Hai? Where is Ye Zhiwei? Make her come out and see me."
Li Bingqing also deliberately put on a stern face, staring at Song Qiao with ill intentions.
Seeing that the gathering was about to end unhappily.
Xia Yuqing, seeing that her husband had become the target of everyone's criticism, knew that if Su Lan were really driven away today, his reputation would be completely ruined tomorrow.
Then, no matter how right Song Qiao was, he would be the one in the wrong first.
She hesitated for a moment, then quickly stood up, picked up a tissue, and began to clean Su Lan's clothes.
"Miss Su, please calm down. My husband was indeed in the wrong. I apologize to you on his behalf."
As Xia Yuqing spoke, she bowed sincerely to Su Lan.
"Slap."
The next second, Su Lan actually slapped Xia Yuqing across the face.
"Who do you think you are? What right do you have to speak here?"
"I want Song Qiao to personally kneel down and kowtow to apologize."
At this moment, she was furious, and she was deliberately making things difficult for Song Qiao. How could she care if someone truly apologized?
"You're asking for death!"
Seeing his wife being slapped, Song Qiao was instantly furious and raised his hand, slapping her back.
"Ah!"
Su Lan was caught off guard and stumbled, falling to the ground.
Song Qiao's slap was not held back at all. Blood was already seeping from the corner of her mouth.
"Presumptuous!"
"Song Qiao, how dare you touch my person? You're looking for death."
Li Bingqing, who had only intended to watch Song Qiao make a fool of himself, was furious that Song Qiao dared to actually act. She stood up in anger.
Su Lan was a capable subordinate of their Li family. Slapping her face was equivalent to slapping the Li family's face.
As the eldest daughter of the Li family, she now wished she could tear Song Qiao to pieces.
"She dared to hit my wife. This slap settles it."
Song Qiao's heart was calm. He glanced at Li Bingqing and refused to back down even an inch.
"Okay, you son of a bitch, you have guts."
"Now I'll give you one last chance. Immediately kneel down and kowtow to Su Lan to apologize, otherwise, this matter will not end today."
Li Bingqing slammed the table fiercely, her voice becoming somewhat hysterical.
As soon as she said this, all the surrounding guests couldn't help but cast sympathetic glances at Song Qiao.
Everyone present knew the power of the Li family in the capital.
Now that Li Bingqing had openly declared her stance, even if Song Qiao was strong, it would be difficult to resolve this matter.
"What if I don't apologize? Hasn't your Li family always been against us? You talk as if you're so powerful."
Song Qiao completely ignored the threat, speaking in a nonchalant tone.
"In that case, you, the CEO of Xiang Piaopiao Company, actually hit someone in person. I see you really don't want to do business anymore."
"General Manager Zhou, immediately contact the newspapers and television stations. I want everyone to see Song Qiao's shamelessness."
After giving the order, Li Bingqing gave Song Qiao a triumphant look and continued:
"Song Qiao, don't think you can do whatever you want just because you have Xin Kai Capital backing you. You and Ye Zhiwei are just puppets supported by them. What right do you have to fight against our Li family here?"
"If you don't believe me, you can try. Let's see if Xin Kai Capital can still protect you this time."
As soon as she finished speaking, Xia Yuqing's expression changed again.
"Miss Li, please calm down. I apologize to you on behalf of Song Qiao. I hope you can be magnanimous and let us live."
After speaking, she bent her knees, preparing to kneel before Li Bingqing.
In her opinion, Song Qiao's current achievements were all thanks to Xin Kai Capital. Now that the Li family was taking a tough stance, her husband might lose his support.
At this moment, the issue of face was no longer important. She had to apologize immediately to gain Li Bingqing's forgiveness.
Otherwise, once the public opinion offensive began, Song Qiao's reputation would be completely ruined.
"Wife, what are you doing? Why should we apologize to this crazy woman?"
Song Qiao, with quick eyes and hands, immediately stepped forward, pulled Xia Yuqing, and shielded her behind him.
"Heh heh, Song Qiao, your business is so big, yet you're not as sensible as a woman. It's truly pathetic. Are you a kept man?"
Seeing this, Su Lan immediately started to sneer and mock from the side.
"That's still better than a watchdog raised by a noble family like you. You've mastered the art of being sharp-tongued, bullying the weak, and fearing the strong."
Seeing these people attacking her sister and brother-in-law, Xia Xueqing could no longer remain silent and immediately retorted.
In terms of arguing, these people combined couldn't defeat her alone.
Initially, she didn't want to interject to avoid causing trouble for her brother-in-law. Now that both sides had fallen out, she couldn't be polite.
Su Lan's face turned red with anger. As the saying goes, hit the snake at its seven inches. Xia Xueqing's words struck her weakness.
Although she was very capable, she had always been sarcastically called the Li family's watchdog by her peers.
This had always been a sore point for her. Now, being mocked in public by Xia Xueqing, she was almost on the verge of tears.
"Where did this sharp-tongued little girl come from? If you say one more word, I'll tear your mouth apart."
Li Bingqing's face turned cold. If Song Qiao hadn't been blocking her, she would have rushed forward to teach the girl a lesson.
"Miss Li, I advise you to restrain yourself."
Just then, Ye Zhiwei finally arrived.
"Ye Zhiwei, you're here just in time. Is this how your Ye family treats guests?"
"I will go back and have a good talk with the elders in my family. This is how your Ye family treats us."
"If you want me to stay here today, you must make this Song Qiao get out."
Li Bingqing said through gritted teeth.
"I'm sorry, I have no right to drive Mr. Song away, nor will I drive you away."
"But if you're unwilling to stay, you can leave anytime. I, Ye Zhiwei, won't tolerate you."
"You..."
Unexpectedly, Ye Zhiwei's attitude was so firm in supporting Song Qiao, which left Li Bingqing speechless.
"Su Lan, I'm giving you one last chance. Apologize to my wife immediately, or get out of here right now."
Song Qiao was even more unyielding. He took a small step forward, his attitude towards Su Lan becoming even more aggressive.
The fact that the other party dared to lay hands on his wife meant they had an irreconcilable hatred with him!
