"Kill people?"
Hearing Ye Ling's words, Su Ruoxue paused, not reacting for a moment.
"Yo! Isn't this Su Ruoxue, who always pretends to be pure? How did you hook up with a gigolo?"
At this moment, a sharp, ear-piercing voice came from the front. A young and beautiful woman, hands on her hips, stared at Su Ruoxue with a sour and mean expression.
However, when she glanced at Ye Ling's face, a trace of jealousy couldn't help but appear in her eyes.
Although Ye Ling was dressed strangely, his appearance was extraordinary, and his temperament was outstanding. He was clearly a top-tier man.
This woman was named Jiang Yadan, a well-known second-generation in the circle, who basically changed boyfriends every three days.
Her face was beautiful, her figure was hot, and her family background was excellent. Even though her reputation was terrible, there were still endless men flocking to her.
Su Ruoxue's appearance was superior to Jiang Yadan's, and the rumor that she had never had a boyfriend made her much more popular than Jiang Yadan in the circle. Therefore, Jiang Yadan had always been displeased with Su Ruoxue.
"Let's go over there."
Su Ruoxue didn't want to pay attention to Jiang Yadan. She pulled Ye Ling to the side, but Jiang Yadan blocked their way.
Being blocked by Jiang Yadan, Su Ruoxue's expression also turned a little displeased, and she said impatiently, "What do you want?"
Jiang Yadan twisted her delicate body, fixed her gaze on Ye Ling, and smiled, "It's not fair for sister to let you enjoy such a top-tier man alone. Let me have a taste too."
After saying that, Jiang Yadan leaned towards Ye Ling, her body seeming to lose its balance, about to fall onto Ye Ling.
A gust of fragrant wind blew. Ye Ling's expression was indifferent. He slightly shifted his body, while Su Ruoxue took the opportunity to hook her foot.
*Thump!*
Jiang Yadan fell to the ground, overturning the wine table. Red wine spilled all over her, attracting the attention of everyone around.
Jiang Yadan's wine-red long dress tore, revealing a hint of allure, which made many gentlemen present's hearts flutter.
"Pfft!"
Seeing Jiang Yadan's embarrassing situation, Su Ruoxue couldn't help but laugh out loud, her hand gripping Ye Ling's shoulder trembling. Her mood, which had been ruined by Jiang Yadan, became pleasant again.
Jiang Yadan's face turned ashen. Before anyone else could react, she quickly got up, filled with shame and anger, and pointed at Ye Ling and Su Ruoxue, saying, "You, you two, especially you, you ungrateful gigolo, just you wait!"
After issuing a threat, Jiang Yadan didn't dare to stay there any longer and quickly ran out of the banquet hall.
Watching Jiang Yadan flee in disarray, Su Ruoxue giggled, quite gloating, "She's so embarrassed now!"
Ye Ling didn't pay attention to Jiang Yadan. He just looked at Su Ruoxue, who was holding his arm, and said, "How much longer are you going to hold on?"
Su Ruoxue's laughter stopped abruptly. Her face instantly turned red. She quickly let go of Ye Ling's arm and said flusteredly, "Too many things happened at once, I forgot I was still holding your arm. I didn't mean to take advantage of you!"
Thinking about how she had been bewitched and gotten so close to Ye Ling earlier, Su Ruoxue felt increasingly ashamed. She quickly found an excuse and said, "I'm going to the restroom. You wait here for me!"
After saying that, Su Ruoxue also fled, leaving Ye Ling alone in his spot.
Looking at Su Ruoxue's retreating back, Ye Ling also shook his head and smiled, a rare gentleness appearing in his eyes. His high school days with Su Ruoxue flashed through his mind.
After becoming an emperor in another world, Ye Ling had never met a woman like Su Ruoxue again.
Even though many celestial maidens wanted to throw themselves into his arms, they dared not be as unrestrained as Su Ruoxue.
As Su Ruoxue left, Ye Ling also walked to the shaded corner of the hall and observed the guests who had come to wish Li Qingshan a happy birthday.
"My Ye family's former butler, now a tycooon of Jiangcheng, has really grown up..." Ye Ling sneered, "I wonder if you can handle the gifts I'll be giving you next."
"Brother, it's him!"
Not long after, Jiang Yadan, who had tidied herself up a bit, arrived with a young man in a suit, pointing at Ye Ling fiercely.
"It's this scumbag who made me lose face in public. Brother, you teach him a lesson for me!" Jiang Yadan said coquettishly to Jiang Jingtian, her eyes full of malice as she looked at Ye Ling.
Jiang Jingtian looked at Jiang Yadan with affection and comforted her, "Yadan, don't worry, your brother will definitely help you vent this anger today!"
After saying that, Jiang Jingtian glared at Ye Ling and reprimanded, "You scumbag dressed so inappropriately, how did you get in here?"
"This is the birthday celebration of Old Master Li's family, a gathering of prominent families. Why is there someone playing cosplay here? Won't someone kick him out?"
Jiang Jingtian's voice was very loud, and the surrounding guests immediately looked over.
Some guests frowned, "Hey? How did that kid get in? Dressing so messily at such an occasion, what kind of manners is that?"
Some guests who had seen Ye Ling at the entrance explained, "He seems to be Su Ruoxue's boyfriend from the Su family. Su Ruoxue brought him in."
"Su Ruoxue? That Miss Su family?" Hearing the explanation, the contemptuous guests' attitudes immediately changed. However, they still whispered, "Even if he's the son-in-law of the Su family, dressing like this at such an occasion is too rude!"
"I heard that the Su family was on good terms with the Ye family back then, and this Li Qingshan is from the Ye family..."
As soon as the person spoke, someone beside him covered his mouth, "Shh! You can't say things like that..."
The events of the Ye family back then were too widespread and a taboo in Jiangcheng.
Whispers filled the air, and many people focused their attention on Jiang Jingtian and Ye Ling.
After attracting enough attention, Jiang Jingtian arrogantly reprimanded Ye Ling, "You, a lowly person from who knows where, think you've soared to the heavens by clinging to the Su family? I have a thousand ways to ruin your family!"
"If you kneel down now and apologize to my sister, and win her favor, I might spare your family."
Ye Ling didn't want to bother with such riff-raff. He simply closed his eyes to rest, waiting for the banquet to begin.
Seeing Ye Ling ignore them, Jiang Yadan felt even more humiliated. She immediately pointed at Ye Ling and cursed, "Gigolo, what are you pretending for in front of this young lady? Hurry up and kneel..."
*Slap!*
Midway through her words, Jiang Yadan suddenly slapped herself, stunning herself.
What happened?
The surrounding guests were dumbfounded. Jiang Jingtian was also bewildered and quickly asked, "Yadan, what are you doing..."
*Slap!*
Midway through his words, Jiang Jingtian also slapped Jiang Yadan, directly making half of her face swell.
Jiang Yadan finally reacted, covering her face and glaring at Jiang Jingtian, "You dare to hit me?"
"I, I didn't mean to..." Jiang Jingtian didn't understand why he had acted, but halfway through his explanation, the urge to slap Jiang Yadan again surged within him.
*Slap!*
Jiang Jingtian slapped Jiang Yadan again, knocking her to the ground, and then stomped on her twice.
Jiang Yadan spat blood, and two bloody teeth flew out.
Silence enveloped the surroundings.
You could hear a pin drop.
