Yuwen Tuo, as if not hearing Jiang Long’s words, brought the wine cup to his lips and took a small sip.
As the wine touched his tongue, Yuwen Tuo frowned repeatedly.
"This is garbage, the taste is terrible. This kind of wine is only fit for beggars."
After speaking, he glanced at Jiang Long, who was still standing. "Hey, Ah Long, my subordinate poured you some wine. You should at least take a sip to show some respect, otherwise it's too impolite."
He had just criticized the wine as garbage in the previous second, and in the next, he asked Jiang Long to drink it. Yuwen Tuo was truly malicious.
Hoo.
Jiang Long took a deep breath.
If it were anyone else who dared to provoke him like this, Jiang Long would have killed them in an instant.
But the person in front of him was Yuwen Tuo. Not only could Jiang Long not kill him, but he had also suffered at his hands several times before. Thus, he knew very well that the angrier he got, the more smug Yuwen Tuo would become.
So, he could only try his best to calm his emotions.
Jiang Long gestured to Fu Biao beside him. The latter immediately understood and took a bottle of wine from the wine cabinet, pouring a glass for Jiang Long.
Jiang Long sat down opposite Yuwen Tuo and took a sip of wine with feigned calmness.
"Oh, Ah Long, your self-control is quite good now. If it were in the past, you would have been so angry you'd be jumping up and down."
Seeing Jiang Long's reaction, Yuwen Tuo was slightly stunned, then he chuckled.
There's a saying, sometimes the person who knows you best is not a friend, but an enemy.
This was exactly the case with Yuwen Tuo and Jiang Long.
Having been bitter rivals for many years, Yuwen Tuo knew Jiang Long's temper and personality like the back of his hand.
Given Jiang Long's past temperament, Yuwen Tuo's previous actions would have definitely made him lose his composure on the spot.
But Jiang Long had managed to suppress it.
"Yuwen Tuo, you don't come here without a reason. Speak quickly if you have something to say, spit it out if you have something to fart."
Hearing Yuwen Tuo's words, Jiang Long felt that his decision not to lose his temper just now was the right one.
Look, Yuwen Tuo was even looking at him with newfound respect.
"It's nothing, I just came to ask if you could let me admire the ancient sword from the Shang Dynasty that you bought at the Dihao Auction House."
However, just as Jiang Long felt he had finally gotten the upper hand over Yuwen Tuo.
Yuwen Tuo's next words sent a surge of anger straight to the top of his skull.
Damn it!
Yuwen Tuo, you son of a bitch, he's definitely doing this on purpose!
He had never expected that despite his utmost caution, even asking Fu Biao to find two unrelated groups of people to bid for the Shang Dynasty ancient sword on his behalf.
Yet, Yuwen Tuo still found out.
What Fu Biao had said earlier about some problems now became clear. It must have been Yuwen Tuo causing trouble.
Thinking of this, the anger that Jiang Long had barely suppressed flared up instantly.
"Yuwen Tuo! I'll fight you to the death!"
With rage clouding his mind, Jiang Long threw caution to the wind and intended to fight Yuwen Tuo with his life.
"Young Master Long! Young Master Long!"
Fu Biao was the first to rush over and restrain Jiang Long.
As a core member of the Jiang family's business, Fu Biao naturally recognized Yuwen Tuo, otherwise he wouldn't have been stunned after opening the door.
Therefore, he knew very well that even if Jiang Long truly wanted to fight to the death, firstly, his strength was inferior to Yuwen Tuo's, and secondly, Yuwen Tuo had brought two subordinates. He and Jiang Long together wouldn't be enough to fight them.
Moreover, the Yuwen family only had this one son. From any perspective, Jiang Long was not qualified to fight Yuwen Tuo to the death.
As a member of the Jiang family, Fu Biao had to stop Jiang Long.
"Let go of me! You bastard, let go of me!"
Jiang Long glared at Fu Biao with a ferocious expression.
Seeing Jiang Long's ferocious look as if he wanted to devour someone, Yuwen Tuo seemed completely unfazed.
"I just praised you for being more mature, and in the blink of an eye, you've revealed your true colors. Ah Long, this is all you'll ever be capable of."
"Yes, what my men snatched from you, what are you going to do about it? Bite me?"
In the next moment, Yuwen Tuo, who had been mild-mannered, suddenly seemed to transform.
As he spoke, he stood up, walked up to Jiang Long, and almost pressed his face against his. "Jiang Long, I told you back then, I will definitely play you to death! It seems you didn't take my words to heart, did you?"
Looking at Yuwen Tuo up close, Jiang Long desperately wanted to kill him.
However, having been held back by Fu Biao, the surge of anger had dissipated, and he could no longer muster it.
At this moment, his mind was occupied with many other thoughts.
For example, he was no match for Yuwen Tuo, and the power dynamics between their families were completely unequal.
If he really caused any serious harm to Yuwen Tuo, leading to a complete breakdown between the Jiang and Yuwen families.
It was highly probable that his father, to quell the Yuwen family's wrath, might even hand him over.
Therefore, looking at Yuwen Tuo's face, Jiang Long could only clench his fists tightly.
The reason Yuwen Tuo was fixated on Jiang Long was ultimately due to Jiang Long's own fault.
Although Jiang Long was only the third young master of the Jiang family and his abilities were mediocre.
However, the Jiang family was vast and prosperous. Growing up in such an environment, Jiang Long had naturally adopted the demeanor of many wealthy second-generation heirs: arrogant, domineering, bullying the weak, and committing all sorts of wicked deeds.
One time, Jiang Long went out with a group of friends to have fun.
As these people were all from wealthy and influential families, their entertainment was quite unrestrained.
After drinking a considerable amount, they felt that just playing with the girls beside them wasn't enough and decided to seek some excitement.
So, someone proposed playing a game.
The game was that the loser of a dice roll had to forcefully kiss a girl in the main hall under everyone's watchful eyes.
For ordinary people, such a perverted game would never even cross their minds.
But Jiang Long and his friends were all individuals of extraordinary status, and ordinary amusements no longer provided them with any stimulation.
Therefore, as soon as this proposal was made, it was immediately agreed upon by everyone.
After a round of dice rolling, Jiang Long became the first to lose.
And so, amidst the jeers of his companions, Jiang Long had no choice but to get up and walk into the hall.
Although forcefully kissing any woman in the hall was not only morally questionable but also illegal.
Jiang Long and his group, however, paid no mind to it, as it was not a big deal to them.
Jiang Long entered the hall and began to look for his target.
After some selection, Jiang Long quickly set his sights on a beautiful girl in the hall.
This girl was not only beautiful but also had a delicate demeanor, making one instinctively want to protect her.
With the alcohol coursing through him, Jiang Long, upon finding his target, went straight towards her.
What followed was Jiang Long attempting to forcibly kiss her, but at the last moment, the girl dodged.
However, despite dodging the kiss, she was still held by Jiang Long and subjected to his unwanted advances for a considerable time.
Later, the girl ran away crying. Jiang Long returned to his friends and was teased by them.
Yet, just a few minutes later, as Jiang Long and his friends were about to continue their game.
The door to their private room was kicked open.
Following closely behind was the girl who had been harassed by Jiang Long, accompanied by a group of people.
The girl who was harassed by Jiang Long was Yuwen Tuo's cousin.
It was for this reason that they became bitter enemies.
