Hao Rong also heard soone say this for the first ti, he opened his mouth, not even knowing what expression to use in response. Then a wave of embarrassnt and sha surged in his heart, coupled with the cooperation from others nearby, he beca a bit furious out of embarrassnt.
The teenage boy who just spat out juice is nad Zhuo Hao, whose family is also in business. They had always wanted to latch onto the big tree of the municipal party secretary but couldn’t. Unexpectedly, this ti, Mr. Zhan invited so many young children to attend the party he organized, and many people felt honored.
The Luo family and Hao Rong’s family are competitors, so even the children from both families don’t get along well. However, Hao Rong’s family has a big business; although they couldn’t latch onto the party secretary, they know so other officials, giving them so face. In this respect, the Zhuo family falls short, which is why Hao Rong is more popular among peers.
Moreover, Zhuo Hao is young, and Hao Rong’s dominant attitude makes him even less fond of Hao Rong, while Hao Rong wants to suppress this Zhuo brat.
When Hao Rong bullies children, he often aims to figure out their background. If they’re worth it, he accepts them as little brothers to play with in the future. If not, he just scares them a bit and lets them go.
There had been strong-willed kids who fought back against Hao Rong before, but the outco was usually a beating, making it hard to mix in the circle of peers. But there had never been soone like Luo Yirui who analyzed Hao Rong’s psyche from another angle to fight back.
To say fight back, Luo Yirui hadn’t actually planned on doing so. He was just curious, having often heard Uncle and Uncle Tianji discuss these political matters. After hearing it enough, he developed his own way of thinking.
Hao Rong squinted at Luo Yirui, his face fierce, "Are you looking for death, kid? You better not leave this hall. Once you’re out, I’ll make you regret saying those words!"
Luo Yirui felt speechless, is he already angry?
He couldn’t figure out how to respond, should he just walk out? Or respond angrily? It all seed so silly!
To be honest, Luo Yirui didn’t really take these older kids before him seriously. Although he’s not very strong, he’s been trained by his dad and has been practicing so capture and counterattack skills, all tailored by his dad for his lack of strength.
Not to ntion, isn’t the fighting talisman also useful?
His fighting talisman can make two Mystic Doctors who are equally skilled lose their fighting abilities, let alone so older children.
That’s where Luo Yirui’s confidence cos from, which is why he remains calm. He just didn’t expect to encounter bullying at the party. Didn’t these people understand the occasion?
Seeing Luo Yirui stop speaking, Hao Rong snorted coldly, assuming he was scared. Feeling slightly relieved, he sneered and asked, "Kid, I’m not unreasonable. Answer a few questions for , and if you answer well, I definitely won’t do anything to you. Not only that, but I’ll also have you follow , and I’ll ensure nobody dares bully you."
Luo Yirui remained silent, sowhat curious as to what questions Hao Rong could ask. After thinking, he said, "Go ahead and ask."
Seeing his good attitude, Hao Rong thought he had scared him. It’s natural; after all, young kids face psychological pressure against older ones. They’re almost ten years apart, so the kid couldn’t be completely unafraid. Indeed, a little scare and he straightened up.
"You’re not from Jiang City?"
"No."
"What are you doing in Jiang City?"
Luo Yirui stared into Hao Rong’s eyes, noticing only curiosity and nothing else, indicating he wasn’t being instructed by anyone. He’s still unsure of what soone’s eyes’ anings are, but Uncle Xun said soone might be looking to find out about him and his mom. So he couldn’t just spill everything.
"I’m here with my mom," Luo Yirui answered.
This was a clever response. He didn’t directly say what he was doing here but ntioned that he ca with his mom. Even adults would think that perhaps he doesn’t really know what they’re doing here, his mother would know. So might even assu they’re here for fun.
Hao Rong didn’t suspect anything either; in this regard, he was no match for Luo Yirui.
"Who is your mom? I saw you and your mom coming in with Young Master Zhan."
"My mom’s a doctor; we did co in together," Luo Yirui said.
A doctor?
Hao Rong felt a bit disappointed because there’s nothing worthwhile in associating with a doctor. No money, no power, useless to him. Yet, still a bit unwilling; he asked, "What does your dad do?"
"My dad’s in the military," Luo Yirui said.
When ordinary people hear the term "in the military," they instinctively don’t think of an officer. Considering Luo Yirui’s age, his father is probably around thirty years old, maybe even younger. At such an age, with so little seniority in the army, being a company commander is the best he could be!
Having finished his questions, Hao Rong lost interest in Luo Yirui. He initially thought he’d find soone useful, but it turned out to be such an ordinary family. Why did Young Master Zhan invite them to the party, then?
Although the the of the party is to showcase talent, the attendees are more than just musicians; they also need corresponding identities. Even as sons of businessn, they are considered children of rchants in the eyes of these dignitaries, reducing their status instantly.
So normally, Hao Rong and the children wouldn’t be qualified to attend Young Master Zhan’s party. For so reason, Young Master Zhan seed unusually whimsical this ti. Hao Rong certainly wanted to seize this opportunity, but Zhan Hongjun did not. Seeing Luo Yirui, who ca in with Zhan Hongjun, prompted his actions. Kids are easy to fool.
Zhuo Hao looked at Luo Yirui; perhaps from an observer’s perspective, Luo Yirui didn’t tell the truth entirely, or he was hiding sothing. But he surely wasn’t foolish enough to remind Hao Rong. Hao Rong was blinded by anger from this kid’s words. Hopefully, he’d stay that way.
"Alright, alright, move along now, go play wherever you want," Hao Rong leaned back, waving his hand dismissively, shooing Luo Yirui away like a fly.
Luo Yirui frowned slightly, feeling a bit displeased, but causing trouble over sothing trivial and unable to handle the aftermath would upset his mom. His mom dislikes children who cause trouble without being able to clean up their own ss.
After all, Luo Yirui was still young and couldn’t quite conceal his emotions yet. Hao Rong’s attitude left him unhappy. The look he gave Hao Rong beca much colder, so unexpectedly, just as Hao Rong was vexed, that look ignited his anger.
"What are you looking at!" Hao Rong stepped forward and reached to grab Luo Yirui’s arm.
