Fang Yu felt a bit uncomfortable inside when he heard Hai Ruoyin's words.
The real-life worldview conflicted with the kind of traditional worldview in the ga.
Fang Yu looked at Hai Ruoyin, staring directly into her eyes.
"My aning is very clear, no need to repeat it a second ti."
That gaze caused a bit of stabbing pain in Hai Ruoyin's heart.
Without waiting for Hai Ruoyin's response, Fang Yu turned and walked away with large strides.
Leaving behind only Hai Ruoyin, who was holding onto Wu Youi with one hand and slowly clenching a fist with the other.
The calmness in Fang Yu's eyes just now seed like he didn't consider her worth his disdain, a kind of contempt towards her.
All this set her heart on fire.
How could I possibly... be a woman that casual!
But family, is family! Family is above all!
Bam!
As if to vent her anger, she flung Wu Youi to the ground and then punched and kicked her, not stopping even when Wu Youi protected her body with all her might and whimpered.
People around, seeing a fatal outco might happen, dared not intervene even a little.
Fortunately, Hai Ruoyin controlled herself, and after beating Wu Youi unconscious, finally stopped.
She looked up in the direction where Fang Yu had left.
"Diao Deyi... Diao Deyi! I will definitely get you! And then fulfill my ambitions!"
...
Fang Yu, walking on the way back to the Qing Family, had no idea his casual glance had made Hai Ruoyin nearly lose her composure.
The main thing was, that look of his had no other aning; it was purely the other party's overthinking.
The gates of the Qing Family were faintly visible.
Compared to when he left, there were many more sedan chairs in front of the Qing Family's gate, and just from the specifications of the sedan chairs, one could discern differences in identity and status.
It was like seeing luxury cars parked in front of a hotel; that eight-carried sedan, resplendent and magnificent, surely only big families or wealthy individuals could afford to ride in it.
Next to it, those with a slightly lower grade of decoration and manpower naturally paled in comparison to that eight-carried sedan.
What is this? A gathering of luxury cars?
Fang Yu didn't need to ponder, knowing there were likely quite a few people inside waiting for him.
But this hurdle can't be dodged; sooner or later, it must be faced, so Fang Yu calmly strode into the Qing Family.
Upon entering the door, he noticed Qing Anshun stood at a spot just inside the entrance, guarding.
"Brother Diao! Brother Diao, you're finally back!"
He approached quickly, gesturing for the guards on both sides of the entrance to step aside a bit.
He linked his arm around Fang Yu's shoulder and led him inside.
"You must be tired from the journey, Brother Diao. How about coming to my room for a cup of tea to quench your thirst? I just received a new batch last month..."
Before Qing Anshun could finish his sentence, he suddenly stopped, his face darkening as he looked forward.
Fang Yu followed his gaze and saw a middle-aged man with a teor Hamr at his waist, smiling amiably at Qing Anshun and Fang Yu.
[Hai Baofu: 5000/5000.]
Hai Baofu had a kind face, his smiling appearance had a naturally endearing manner.
"Young Master Qing is not being very courteous, wanting to take the guest away like that? If I'm not mistaken, this should be Young Master Diao, right?"
Fang Yu smiled, cupping his hands.
"Diao Deyi."
Fang Yu's initiative made Hai Baofu slightly pause, then he chuckled.
"Young Master Diao is indeed courteous. My Young Master Hai would like to invite you for a chat in the courtyard. Would you honor us with your presence?"
"Well..."
Fang Yu looked at Qing Anshun.
With the host right nearby, it might be sowhat inappropriate to go over like this.
However, from Qing Anshun's liver-colored, unappealing expression, Fang Yu could tell he probably couldn't deal with the Hai Family.
Qing Anshun also noticed then that both of their gazes fell on him.
Despite feeling very displeased inside, he forced out a smile.
"Of course, of course. When Young Master Hai invites you, it's a fortune for Brother Diao. To tell you the truth, this Eldest Young Master Hai is a standout among the younger generation in Sunset City. The Hai Family dominates Sunset City, even humorously called the crownless king of Sunset City by so. If Brother Diao could build a good relationship with the Hai Family, it would naturally be the best, but..."
Qing Anshun paused, his gaze darting towards the direction of the outer wall.
"...it's just that so many guests have co today. If Brother Diao only ets with Young Master Hai, it might seem a bit biased against other guests. I think Young Master Hai wouldn't want to make things difficult for Brother Diao, right?"
The people present weren't fools and naturally understood Qing Anshun's point.
It's okay for Young Master Hai to et, but since he has t, then Fang Yu should et the others too, treating everyone equally.
This maneuver, rather than caring about Fang Yu, seed more to purely annoy the Hai Family.
However, Hai Baofu seed prepared, smilingly saying,
"No need for Young Master Diao to worry about this; my Young Master Hai has already smoothed things over for you. Those visiting guests will soon return ho and won't affect Young Master Diao's rest."
"..."
Qing Anshun's face stiffened.
In such a short ti, that Eldest Young Master of the Hai Family had already smoothed things over with all parties.
Qing Anshun didn't believe that layabout had such ability; it was likely by relying on the Hai Family's power, forcefully pressuring and driving them away.
The Hai Family is indeed becoming more and more arrogant.
However, in the whole of Sunset City, apart from the Qingling Taoist Temple surpassing the Hai Family, there truly isn't another force that can contend with the Hai Family.
So despite how displeased Qing Anshun felt, he could only keep silent about his bitterness.
Though he was the first to arrive, though he was the one who made the connection, in the end, this almost-secured Guest Elder was about to be given away to soone else.
