"Bah! You?"
Fang Xiaoqing's face turned purple with anger upon hearing his words. She clenched her fists tightly and said, "You scoundrel, stop daydreaming! You can't even compare to a single toenail of Brother Li Yang, yet you want to accompany me?"
"Why don't you look in the mirror and see who you are? You're just a discarded son of the Tian family that no one cares about. Brother Li Yang is far superior to you."
"What did you say?"
Tian Feiyu hated hearing himself being insulted as a discarded son the most. He indeed had no qualification to compete for the heir position in the Tian family, but he was extremely unwilling and had been working hard towards it.
He would make everyone who opposed him pay a heavy price.
Fang Xiaoqing rolled her eyes disdainfully and continued to insult him, "I only spoke the truth, and you're already so angry you can't stand it?"
"Then what would you think if I said your reputation in Jiangcheng's antique appraisal circle is worse than a dog's?"
"Fang Xiaoqing, I advise you to clean up your mouth. If you dare to insult this young master again, I won't be polite to you." Tian Feiyu's face turned pale with anger, and he pointed at Fang Xiaoqing.
"Hee hee, I have Brother Li Yang to protect me. Let's see if you dare to be impolite to me? Unless you want Brother Li Yang to beat you black and blue." Fang Xiaoqing mocked him disdainfully and leaned her head behind Li Yang.
She had witnessed Li Yang's prowess. As long as Li Yang wanted to deal with Tian Feiyu, it would be a simple matter of his word.
"Hmph, Fang Xiaoqing, you overestimate his abilities. Today, everyone here is a friend of the Situ family head, but he is the Situ family head's enemy. I wonder who will end up bruised and swollen."
Tian Feiyu snorted coldly, so angry that he was about to call for his men on the spot.
However, at that moment, another deep voice came from behind: "Feiyu, do not be rude."
"Second Uncle!"
Tian Feiyu turned around and saw his father approaching, immediately becoming polite.
Li Yang's face showed surprise when he saw Tian Lao Er approaching. He hadn't expected him to be here.
It seemed that Tian Feiyu's usual backing was his second uncle!
His second uncle was also allied with the Situ family. As for Tian Wuji and his father, they were naturally at odds with the Situ family, hence they were not invited.
From this, it was understandable that the Huang family was also not invited for similar reasons.
"Since this Mr. Li is brought by Miss Fang, and Miss Fang is a distinguished guest invited by the Situ family head today, you cannot be rude to him, otherwise, it would be slapping the Situ family head in the face," Tian Zhenlong said sternly to Tian Feiyu.
"Alright, Second Uncle, I'll listen to you."
Tian Feiyu saw from his second uncle's eyes that he had almost caused a major disaster, so he voluntarily stepped aside.
Tian Zhenlong walked up to Fang Xiaoqing with a smile and said politely, "Miss Fang, I sincerely apologize. My nephew is ignorant of the rules and has been disrespectful to you. Please forgive him."
"Hmph, it's good that you old man has some manners. Since you apologize to me, then this matter is settled. If your nephew dares to disrespect me again, don't blame me for being impolite."
Fang Xiaoqing snorted coldly, her fists clenched.
Although she didn't understand much about treasure appraisal or jade, her grandfather's status was there. No one in Jiangcheng's antique appraisal circle dared to disrespect her.
Even Tian Wuji and his son had to be polite when they saw her, let alone the second in command of the Tian family.
Then, she grabbed Li Yang's hand and entered the exhibition hall to admire the jade and rough stones on display today.
Watching them leave, Tian Feiyu's eyes flashed with anger. He walked to Tian Zhenlong's side and said, "Second Uncle, why were you so polite to that little girl? She's too much."
"Hmph, if it weren't for her grandfather's sake, would I give her face? We need his grandfather's support to obtain the Tian family's assets in the future. Being nice to this little girl now will do us no harm."
Tian Zhenlong's vision was much broader than Tian Feiyu's. After his explanation, Tian Feiyu understood his second uncle's intentions.
He didn't say anything more to Tian Zhenlong. After recovering his senses, he went to participate in the jade conference.
"Wow, Brother Li Yang, look quickly! This rough stone is so beautiful. Its exterior is so lustrous. It must be able to yield a peerless jade inside."
Fang Xiaoqing pulled Li Yang to the exhibition hall of the jade conference and immediately fell in love with a piece of jade among the piles of rough stones.
Li Yang glanced at the jade and said with a faint smile, "That piece of jade has no green inside. It looks good but is useless."
"Ah? Impossible?" Fang Xiaoqing widened her eyes, disbelieving.
"Of course, it's impossible. This beautiful lady, how can you believe this fellow's words? Why don't I teach you how to appraise rough stones?"
As soon as Fang Xiaoqing finished speaking, a confident voice suddenly came from behind.
She quickly turned her head and saw a young man she had never met before walking towards them.
The young man wore several strings of jade beads, which looked very valuable. As he walked over, he glanced contemptuously at Li Yang, completely disregarding him, and directly said to Fang Xiaoqing, "Beautiful lady, I dare to bet that the rough stone you just fancied has a peerless jade inside."
"Why don't I buy it and give it to you as a gift? Accompany me for dinner tonight, how about it?"
"Hmph, who wants to have dinner with you? Do I know you?" Fang Xiaoqing said with disdain.
"This is my business card. This beautiful lady must have heard my name."
The young man proactively handed out a business card. After Fang Xiaoqing looked at it, she was stunned. It read Qian Long, the Young City Lord of Longshuai Gambling Stone City!
"You're actually from Longshuai Gambling Stone City? I didn't realize it!" Fang Xiaoqing turned to look at him and said with a light laugh.
"Of course. I've always been low-key. Since the beautiful lady knows my identity, are you willing to accept my invitation? As long as the beautiful lady is willing, I can give my all for you." As Qian Long spoke, he reached out towards Fang Xiaoqing's cheek.
"Who cares about your all!"
Fang Xiaoqing angrily flung his hand aside and snorted, "You can't even understand my sarcastic words. Your Longshuai Gambling Stone City has gained a great reputation, but I never expected the Young City Lord of such a powerful gambling stone city to be so frivolous. It's truly disappointing."
"I don't care for playboys like you. You should go find some bar girls with your tricks."
"Beautiful lady, there are plenty of women who want to sleep with me. It's your good fortune that I fancy you, yet you dare to refuse?"
Qian Long frowned, glared at her, and said, "Beautiful lady, I advise you to be sensible and not resist in vain. There is no woman I desire that I cannot obtain."
After saying that, he reached out to grab Fang Xiaoqing's arm.
But before his hand could reach her, a figure suddenly appeared in front of him, and his arm was firmly grasped by a large hand, unable to move!
