This voice?
Zhang Ziming found the voice somewhat familiar. He turned his head and his entire face darkened. "It's you, kid!"
"Seeing me, aren't you going to scram?" Li Yang stared at him coldly, walking towards him step by step with his fists clenched, looking as if he was about to beat him.
Zhang Ziming hadn't expected to run into Li Yang again so soon after being slapped in the face at the gambling stone market. Just as he was about to get angry, he saw Li Yang approaching with clenched fists, and his heart skipped a beat. "You, what do you want? I'm warning you, I'm not someone to be trifled with."
"Then let me tell you too, when I beat people, not everyone can survive," Li Yang said, enunciating each word.
He walked closer and closer.
Zhang Ziming ultimately couldn't withstand his imposing aura. His face turned pale, and he took a few steps back, regretting not bringing any bodyguards. Gritting his teeth, he said, "You, don't push your luck too far. I was talking to Miss Tang, and you have no business with me. Don't meddle."
"She's my woman. You think I'm meddling?" Li Yang walked over and put his arm around Tang Xinyu's waist.
Tang Xinyu's eyes widened, and she stared at him blankly, her cheeks flushed. Why was this guy so overbearing? He couldn't even announce it before hugging her.
"You, you guys!"
Zhang Ziming's expression shifted from one shade to another. Enraged, he threw the rose on the ground and said angrily, "What right do you have to make her your woman!"
"The right that I can go all night. Can you?" Li Yang glanced at him. A light that ordinary people couldn't detect flashed in his eyes, and he realized something was off about the man.
Upon hearing this, Zhang Ziming's face suddenly turned green. "You, what do you mean? You think I can't?"
"Heh, if you could, would you need to visit the urologist so many times?" Li Yang said calmly.
"You, how did you know I visited... You were spying on me?"
"Oh, so you really can't. I was just saying it casually, trying to trick you," Li Yang said with a laugh, but inwardly he gained a deeper understanding of his eyes.
Not only could they appraise treasures, but they could also observe a person's condition and any illnesses.
Zhang Ziming was impotent, a fact that any man would find embarrassing.
"You're f***ing tricking me!"
Seeing the smile on Li Yang's face, his entire composure collapsed. He pointed his finger and said, "You're mocking me. I'm telling you, Tang Xinyu is mine!"
"I'll say it one last time. Tang Xinyu, you have three seconds. If you don't agree, then hmph, not only will my family's bank stop lending you money, but no bank in Jiangcheng will help you!"
"Don't be so shameless," Tang Xinyu bit her lip.
"Hmph, hmph, hmph. I'm counting now. You'd better think clearly. If you haven't thought it through, the consequences will be very serious," Zhang Ziming snorted sinisterly and held up three fingers, saying, "Three."
"I'll three your grandma!" Li Yang directly stepped forward and grabbed his fingers.
*Crack!*
His fingers were all fractured.
Zhang Ziming immediately screamed, "Ah, my hand!"
"Still counting to three?"
"No, no, no, not counting anymore."
"Then scram!" Li Yang glared at him.
Zhang Ziming, covered in cold sweat, hurriedly got into his car and sped away.
However, this feud had deepened, and he would definitely cause big trouble for Li Yang in the future.
Watching him leave, Tang Xinyu sighed bitterly. "Sigh."
"Why sigh? Are you blaming me for scaring him away?" Li Yang asked, looking at her.
Tang Xinyu shook her head. "No, I'm thanking you for standing up for me. I'm just worried that by offending him like this, our Tang family's situation will become even more difficult."
"Moreover, he will definitely seek revenge on you. It's as if I've implicated you."
"What are you talking about? I offended this guy a long time ago. Even without you, he would have found trouble with me," Li Yang said with a smile. "As for your Tang family's affairs, since you're my woman, I'll help you."
"Who's your woman? Don't talk nonsense," Tang Xinyu's cheeks flushed, and she shot him a glance with her beautiful eyes, saying coquettishly.
"Doesn't last night's event prove our relationship?"
"What relationship do we have?"
"The reality of being husband and wife."
"So what?" Tang Xinyu was being stubborn. "It's the 21st century now, everyone's more open-minded. Young men and women, unmarried, have only experienced being husband and wife once. It doesn't count as the reality of being husband and wife."
"Besides, last night I slept with... Mmph."
Li Yang knew she was just putting up a front. He didn't wait for her to finish and directly kissed her.
Sweet and delicious, with an exquisite taste.
Tang Xinyu blinked her eyes, completely surprised by his actions. For a moment, she didn't know whether to push him away or reciprocate.
The most crucial thing was that she found she didn't dislike being kissed by him at all.
How could this be?
Tang Xinyu, Tang Xinyu, could you possibly like such a domineering and rough man?
"Xinyu? What are you guys doing?"
Just as her thoughts were racing, a deep, masculine voice called out from the road.
Tang Xinyu was startled and quickly pushed Li Yang away, saying anxiously towards the front, "Ah, sorry, Second Uncle. We're leaving now."
"Leave where? Stop!" Second Uncle said sternly, looking at Li Yang.
Li Yang also looked at him. He saw a middle-aged man dressed quite luxuriously, emerging from a Hongqi sports car. He had a prominent black mole near his eyebrow.
This person was the Vice Chairman of the Tang Group, Tang Xinyu's second uncle, one of the important figures whose portrait hung on the wall in the Tang Group's lobby. Due to his impulsive and strict nature, he was in charge of almost all of the Tang Group's key projects.
He was nicknamed the "Tiger Descending the Mountain," Tang Hucheng.
Tang Xinyu feared this second uncle the most. She secretly tugged at Li Yang's sleeve, signaling him to leave quickly.
However, Li Yang misunderstood her intention. He smiled and said, "Hello, Second Uncle. My name is Li Yang, and I'm Xinyu's boyfriend. It's a sudden meeting, and I haven't prepared any gifts. Please allow me to find an opportunity to visit and make amends later."
"Li Yang? There are no prominent families surnamed Li in Jiangcheng. Which young master are you from?" Tang Hucheng stared at him and sized him up, his dissatisfaction evident on his face without any concealment.
Li Yang replied, "My family has been running an antique shop for generations."
"Enough. A small businessman, how can he be worthy of my Tang family's precious daughter?" Tang Hucheng had a deep prejudice against him from the first glance. Upon hearing the words "antique shop," he immediately interrupted him and said to his secretary, who was also acting as his driver, "Give him a million, and let him get lost!"
"Yes, Vice Chairman." The secretary immediately reached for his checkbook.
Li Yang raised his eyebrows. "Second Uncle, aren't you looking down on me a bit too much?"
"Do you deserve me to look up to you? Ridiculous!" Tang Hucheng said disdainfully.
Such undisguised contempt made Tang Xinyu feel embarrassed. She said in a low voice, "Second Uncle, please don't say that. Li Yang is a good person, and he's very capable. You should..."
"Should what? There are plenty of capable people and companies. Does our Tang family lack them?"
Tang Hucheng coldly interrupted her and then pointed at Li Yang's nose, saying, "Kid, don't think that just because my niece hasn't dated before, you can use sweet talk and tricks to climb the social ladder. I'm telling you, you're not even worthy of being one of our Tang family's guard dogs!"
"As long as I'm alive, you'll never see Xinyu again. You guys, take Xinyu back immediately!"
"From now on, if this brat dares to come within half a step of the Tang family or company, I'll break his legs!"
