Chapter 554: Petty Thoughts

Seeing Sun Qianfei still standing there, the middle-aged man furrowed his brows, obviously displeased.

"Little Sun, what's going on?"

Seeing the middle-aged man's displeased face, Sun Qianfei immediately squeezed out a smile.

She came up to Lin Yang, extended her hand and said.

"Mr. Lin..."

But Lin Yang did not extend his hand, instead he said lightly.

"Let's skip the handshake; I'm just an ordinary person, I can't afford to associate with you."

"We'd better not be friends."

Zheng Haoyang also coldly snorted: "Exactly, even our car is rented."

"We can't even take your phone number; what right do we have to be your friend?"

Their words left Sun Qianfei's face deathly pale.

She forced a smile and said to the two of them.

"Gentlemen, there's been a misunderstanding about this."

"A misunderstanding?"

Zheng Haoyang coldly snorted: "There's no misunderstanding about this."

"You not only look down on me, but also on Mr. Lin."

The middle-aged man's face instantly darkened, and he looked at Sun Qianfei.

"Sun Qianfei, what on earth is going on!"

He slapped Sun Qianfei across the face with one slap and said in a low voice.

"What a high‑class agent, just a slightly higher‑class madam."

"You dare to look down on Young Master Li's friend, and Haoyang too."

"From now on in Modu, every time I see you I'll hit you!"

"Get lost!"

Sun Qianfei was frightened and fell to her knees with a thud, begging for mercy.

"Mr. Guan, I was wrong."

"Please, forgive me."

"Please."

Regarding his plea, Guan Hanfei paid no attention.

He apologetically said to Lin Yang.

"Mr. Lin, I originally thought Wu Qianer was promoted by Young Master Li, and that you knew her."

"I didn't expect things to turn unpleasant; it's all my fault."

Lin Yang laughed: "I am indeed friends with Miss Wu; this matter has nothing to do with her."

Upon hearing that, Guan Hanfei instantly understood and chuckled.

"Then let's go inside and talk."

"Standing at the door isn't appropriate either."

"Okay."

Lin Yang looked at Wu Qianer, extended his hand and said.

"Miss Wu, let's go in together."

Wu Qianer knew Lin Yang was pulling her along, and gratefully said to Lin Yang.

"Thank you."

After they went in, Guan Hanfei looked at Sun Qianfei kneeling on the ground.

"Just stay kneeling there."

"If you want to keep hanging around in Modu's circle, it depends on the mood of that big shot tonight."

Sun Qianfei knelt on the ground, feeling regret in her heart.

Had I known this person was so extraordinary, I would never have stopped him from being with Wu Qianer.

If they really got together, maybe they'd still remember me with some affection.

But there's no regret medicine in the world.

Lin Yang and the others entered the manor, going into an elegant room.

In the elegant room, there were already five people present.

Among the five, two were middle‑aged and three were young.

After Lin Yang and Zheng Haoyang entered, everyone turned to look.

As for Zheng Haoyang, everyone was naturally familiar with him.

This is Xiao Zhenxing's white‑glove, used specifically to make money.

As for Lin Yang, they were more curious about him.

This person came from Xianggang, and Xiao Zhenxing personally ordered Zheng Haoyang to pick him up, showing his status is not ordinary.

A chubby middle‑aged man wearing glasses laughed at Lin Yang.

"Sir, may I ask your esteemed surname?"

"My name is Lin Yang."

"Lin Yang?"

The people inside the room frowned slightly; they had previously made a guess.

The visitor will be from the Four Surnames; looking at it now, they guessed wrong.

I don't know what you intend to do in Modu this time.

A handsome young man about the same age as Lin Yang, dressed in a suit and leather shoes, asked with a chuckle.

I'm attending Old Mr. Zhang's birthday banquet, and I also want to meet someone.

Meet someone?

They exchanged glances, all guessing who the person to meet was.

Another young man wearing a white shirt then asked.

Xianggang over there is developing well, right? How does it compare to Modu?

Lin Yang chuckled and said: "I've just arrived, so I don't know."

Everyone, are you planning to interrogate me?

The two young men laughed heartily and quickly raised their glasses to Lin Yang, saying.

Sorry, sorry.

It's our fault; we'll punish ourselves with a drink.

Please forgive us, sir.

After a round of toasting, the young man in the white shirt suddenly said.

Mr. Lin, I'll act a bit rowdy for a while, thanks to the drink.

You seem ordinary, but why does Young Master Xiao value you so much?

Having said that, he raised his glass and punished himself with a drink.

I just drank too much; I'm just curious.

If you don't want to say more, then forget it.

Upon hearing Cheng Haoyu's question, Wu Qianer also looked curiously at Lin Yang.

She also wanted to know why Lin Yang was valued by those young masters.

Lin Yang smiled, knowing this was what they all wanted to know.

Who knows? Maybe I'm just stronger.

Hearing this answer, everyone laughed.

At this moment, Wu Qianer said.

I'm going to the restroom.

After Wu Qianer left, Guan Bao, who had been silent and sitting in the corner, laughed and said.

Mr. Lin, you're really blessed with good fortune, managing to win over the Jade Maiden Sect's leader so quickly.

She's the kind of target many wealthy young masters have their eyes on.

Guan Hanfei said: "Guan Bao, this Mr. Lin naturally has that strength."

Then there's no need to say more.

Guan Bao suddenly curled the corner of his mouth and said.

Actually, I was thinking there are quite a few young masters dining here in this manor.

If Miss Wu goes out alone, there's a risk she could be harassed, which would be bad.

No sooner had the words fallen than an angry voice from Wu Qianer came from outside.

Please show some restraint; I'm just here accompanying a friend, and no amount of money would make me go there.

Upon hearing Wu Qianer's voice, everyone's gazes unconsciously turned to Lin Yang.

Lin Yang stood up and said.

Then I'll go take care of it.

Just as Lin Yang stepped out, Zheng Haoyang was about to follow.

But as soon as he stood up, Guan Hanfei grabbed him.

Haoyang, that Mr. Lin looks very confident, so don't get involved.

Otherwise, you'll just bring trouble on yourself.

Guan Bao also chuckled and said.

Besides, he's not from the Four Great Families; if he wants to join our circle, he has to prove he's not one of them, right?

Upon hearing that, Zheng Haoyang hesitated and said.

If Young Master Xiao finds out, wouldn't that be bad?

After all, this is a guest he personally invited.

Guan Bao laughed and said: "Let me handle explaining this."

Don't worry, I'm on very good terms with Young Master Xiao.

Upon hearing that, Zheng Haoyang hesitated a moment, then nodded.

Outside, Lin Yang stood beside Wu Qianer, looking at the young man in front of him wearing a short-sleeve shirt and reeking of alcohol.

Get lost, where you came from.

Don't act rowdy just because you've had a little drink.

The young man instantly flew into a rage upon hearing that.

He immediately drew a dagger from his waist and pointed it at Lin Yang.

Damn it, who are you? You dare to meddle in my affairs!

Believe it or not, I'll stab you to death with one blow!
