As soon as Jiang Jinsang finished speaking, Huo Ran spoke up.
"He said Third Brother, Fourth Brother deliberately suck up to you, and also said Fourth Brother likes n..." Huo Ran couldn’t clearly rember the specifics and just said whatever ca to mind.
"Said they were unworthy or sothing, and ntioned sothing about being gay."
"So things were so unpleasant, I just can’t say them."
As Huo Ran spoke, that person’s face grew increasingly unsightly, probably because he was drunk and didn’t rember what he had said at all.
"You’re fucking lying! When did I ever say sothing like that?"
"Oh right, he also called a little bastard!" Huo Ran said this with extre grievance, like a schoolboy bullied and now complaining to his parents.
Everyone: "..."
Can we be a bit more mature when we speak?
"I..." The man tightly covered his neck, shaking with anger, "Did I say sothing like that?"
"Oh co on, why are you acting innocent now, think you’re in a drama or sothing, hit soone and then play the victim?" Huo Ran, young and inexperienced, has watched quite a few dramas though, "Back then they were all there, whether you said it or not, they can all testify."
Huo Ran pointed to a few people not far away...
When Jiang Jinsang’s gaze drifted over, those people all lowered their heads, not daring to et his eyes.
Who was right and who was wrong, Jiang Jinsang now had a clear idea.
"But you were the one who started it." A young You Family mber seed to grasp sothing to use against him again.
"You ca to asking for a beating, if I didn’t hit you, wouldn’t it be letting down your bitchy behavior?"
"..."
Huo Ran normally wasn’t one to argue articulately, he was just provoked this ti, and the other party was drunk, feeling dizzy, yet hadn’t said anything about him.
The way the two argued felt just like little kids fighting.
Jiang Jinsang, however, looked at Shen Shuci, signaling her to throw away the glass shards; those things were too dangerous.
"Fifth Brother, this has nothing to do with sister-in-law, they were the ones who ganged up on , I was upset and wanted to fight back, sister-in-law was just helping ."
Jiang Jinsang examined Shen Shuci’s hand, "Are you okay?"
She lowered her eyes and rubbed her fingers, which might’ve gotten so liquor on them, feeling sticky, although she had just held the glass, she wasn’t injured.
"Sothing’s wrong."
Jiang Jinsang frowned, her clothes didn’t have a wrinkle, and Huo Ran at least was bruised, he really couldn’t tell where Shen Shuci was supposed to be hurt.
"Are you injured?"
"No." Shen Shuci shook her head, "He harassed earlier, it hurt my feelings."
Everyone: "..."
What on earth?
Hurt feelings? What can you say besides impressive?
Jiang Jinsang looked to the man still covering his neck, "Do you have any rebuttal to this?"
"I didn’t... harass her." The man’s words clearly lacked confidence, especially when he t Shen Shuci’s gaze, not daring to argue.
Jiang Jinsang chuckled, "Slandering my brother and harassing my aunt? You’ve got so nerve."
"Fifth Master... I just had a little to drink earlier." He was just being reckless after drinking, talking too much.
So n at the table, once they’ve had a few drinks, love to make themselves sound omnipotent, bragging as if they’re the center of the universe, looking down on everyone, and he just happened to be that type.
Five parts sober, he was already scared out of his wits.
"So you’re admitting you said those things?"
"But I was beaten too."
"Shouldn’t you have been beaten?"
"I..." he stamred, "deserved it."
"Would you rather walk out yourself or have get soone to throw you out?" Jiang Jinsang knew full well that Huo Ran started it, and he wasn’t entirely blaless, causing too much of a scene would certainly affect the Huo Family.
This incident, if blown up, would leave everyone tainted, with no winner.
"Fifth Master..." The man felt wronged; he couldn’t clearly rember what he’d said, only felt beaten for no reason and was sowhat aggrieved, "Is this approach quite right?"
"Then tell , what would be right?" Jiang Jinsang shot him a glance.
"I get it, this is your place, you can do whatever you want..."
"Since you know it’s soone else’s domain, can’t keep your mouth in check, got beaten, then rember this lesson, drink less, talk less, and above all, don’t randomly comnt on others. Today it was Huo Ran who heard you, but if it had been my Fourth Brother, would you still be standing here speaking to ?"
With Jiang Chengsi’s temperant, he’d absolutely beat him up, throwing him to the dogs.
The man’s face turned grim.
"Can’t keep your mouth shut, fine, but then to harbor ill intentions towards my aunt? You’ve really put yourself on a pedestal."
Jiang Jinsang could only feel relieved that Huo Qinqi didn’t co along. With his temper, he would definitely beat this kid until his own mother wouldn’t recognize him. But considering his professional status, after venting his anger, he’d probably get so punishnt when he returned to the team.
"I didn’t harass her," he gritted his teeth, seemingly trying to explain himself.
Jiang Jinsang chuckled lightly, "You an to say, Little Aunt deliberately frad you with such a matter? You’re the kind who even harasses your own waitstaff. Don’t you have any self-awareness?"
He gritted his teeth, saying nothing...
"It seems you aren’t willing to leave on your own," Jiang Jinsang tilted his head, glancing at the manager and signaled for the security to drag him out.
"Don’t touch ," the man retreated vigorously as several security guards approached.
"Young Master You, please don’t make it difficult for us," the security guards didn’t want to use force either.
"Jiang Jinsang, you can’t do this to ..." He spoke with a tinge of drunkenness. Surrounded by friends, being dragged out like this would leave him no face to mingle in the circle.
"Hurry up," Jiang Jinsang frowned, regretting not bringing Jiang Cuo or Jiang Jiu along since these people were acting too slowly.
"You’ll regret this!" His hands were seized as he was beaten black and blue, his face twisted, yet relying on the remaining bit of drunken courage, he shouted at Jiang Jinsang.
"Are you threatening ?" Jiang Jinsang sneered...
The warmth at the corner of his mouth carried a hint of coldness.
"So you’re from the You family..."
"Even your father doesn’t dare talk to like that, and you think you’re worthy?"
He took a deep breath, "My... my uncle won’t let you off!"
Jiang Jinsang said nothing, just gestured for them to drag him out quickly. He struggled fiercely, not caring that his neck was still bleeding, and just as he was about to be dragged out, he suddenly spoke again.
"Hold on."
The man felt relieved, "Jiang Jinsang, my uncle he..." Since he knew his last na, he had to know who his uncle was, and was certainly scared, ready to let him go.
He was overjoyed, just preparing to shake his arms free and let the two lackeys beside him release him when he heard Jiang Jinsang’s voice coming from behind.
"If he opened the private room, don’t forget to have him settle the bill when you drag him out."
"..."
Jiang Jinsang looked at the manager, "Make sure the manpower spent and damaged items are all accounted for, running a business can’t be at a loss."
The manager gave a sheepish smile.
He really was nonchalant, plucking flowers and leaves, all aid right at the heart.
This Young Master You was dragged out, and the others in the private room were ready to leave the trouble spot, but were stopped by Jiang Jinsang. They were just a bunch of kids, already scared enough, unsure of what’s happening.
"About what happened tonight..." Jiang Jinsang raised an eyebrow.
"Fifth Master, don’t worry, we won’t talk about it."
"Yeah, our lips are sealed."
...
Jiang Jinsang wasn’t trying to threaten them, but had the manager find soone to record with a phone, letting them recount what happened tonight, especially those who went to the bathroom with Young Master You, detailing the events.
Huo Ran was dumbfounded by what he saw.
"Fifth Brother, is it necessary to go this far?"
"There are many shaless people in the world. Although he’s gone, you have to guard against him popping up unexpectedly to bite you. Better to be prepared," Jiang Jinsang chuckled lightly, "Moreover, with a recording, these folks won’t dare to spew nonsense, twisting the facts."
Huo Ran nodded, he certainly wouldn’t be as thorough in handling matters as Jiang Jinsang.
"Fifth Brother, could I ask you a favor?" Huo Ran looked troubled.
"You don’t want your brother to find out?"
Huo Ran nodded his head.
Jiang Jinsang smiled wryly, "Your face is swollen like a pig’s head, do you think you can hide it? Even if you leave now and find a place to hide, with your brother’s thods, finding you would be easy."
"And with such a big commotion, who can keep it under wraps?"
Even if he had everyone present keep quiet, the club had too many eyes, news likely already spread.
"Have the manager take you down to treat the wounds on your face."
"I’m fine." Huo Ran, being quite resilient, didn’t feel the pain much.
"Then go wash your face and return to the private room."
"I got it."
...
The three returned about ten minutes later, and it seed everyone had sensed sothing amiss. Huo Qinqi called Shen Shuci’s phone and found it left behind in the private room.
Just as everyone was about to go out looking, the door opened.
Jiang Jinsang and Shen Shuci looked perfectly normal, the sa as when they left, except for Huo Ran...
With bruises on his face and a lump on his forehead, the once neat and clean small tufts of red hair now drooped on his head, looking like a defeated rooster.
