266: Chapter 262: Regret Too Late (First Update!) 266: Chapter 262: Regret Too Late (First Update!) In the gambling stone area of the Treasure Identification Cocktail Hall.
The crowd in the hall watched as Dongfang Qu Ling, Dongfang Yu, and Huang Juun respectfully stood in front of Lin Tian, all of them dumbfounded.
Am I seeing things?
Many people with their mouths agape and eyes wide open were filled with disbelief.
Huang Juun, Dongfang Yu, and that woman who is Dongfang Yu’s sister—all of them figures of admiration!
Yet now, here they were, showing imnse respect to that young man.
The young man they had just monts ago surrounded and accused stood there composed!
The giants they had tried so hard to please were now reverently greeting the man they had scorned and looked down upon.
How absurdly laughable!
“This…”
For a mont, everyone seed tongue-tied, unable to utter a word as if sothing was stuck in their throats.
But then, soone stepped forward.
Zhang Wanchun stared at Lin Tian with a cold face; after being kicked away by the latter, resentnt and anger had replaced his calm, and he addressed Dongfang Qu Ling, “Miss Dongfang, are you sure you’re not mistaken?
He and I are at the sa school now, I know him well—his background is very ordinary!
He’s good at studies and running, but what else can he do?
He rely saved soone once and got looked after by so big shot.
You must be aware of that, Miss Dongfang…”
Slap~~
Before Zhang Wanchun could finish, Dongfang Qu Ling’s palm had already soundly t his cheek, spinning him completely around, stars twinkling before his eyes.
“Say one more word, and I’ll cripple your limbs!”
Dongfang Qu Ling’s beautiful eyes were icy cold, filled with intense murderous intent.
Zhang Wanchun trembled, his face turned deathly pale, and he lowered his head, not daring to speak.
“Zhang Wanchun, you better keep your dog mouth shut!
I can tolerate Huo Xiaoyu for now because I don’t want to make a big deal about it, out of respect for Aunt Liu, who has been kind to my family!
But what are you?”
Lin Tian looked coldly at Zhang Wanchun and quietly scolded him.
Upon hearing this, Zhang Wanchun’s face showed a mix of sha and anger, but he dared not retort at all.
“Xiao Yu was right, these people are all idiots, fooled by this kid!
Once he enters the sect, I’ll see how arrogant he can be!”
Zhang Wanchun clenched his fist, thinking to himself.
As Dongfang Qu Ling slapped him, those who were confused instantly ca to their senses, shivering.
This kid didn’t just sneak in?!
Realizing this, the ones who had been most vocal earlier quickly ca forward, apologizing respectfully to Dongfang Qu Ling.
“Apologizing to Sister Quu Ling is useless!
You should be apologizing to Mr.
Lin!
A bunch of turncoats!”
Huang Juun didn’t mince his words and shouted directly.
Those people could only bow their heads and respectfully apologize to Lin Tian, their faces filled with endless flattery and ingratiation.
Qian Xiaohui silently shook her head on the side—such was the face of human nature!
In the crowd, Ji Ping, also quite embarrassed, clenched his teeth, stepped forward, and slightly bowed to Lin Tian, “Lin…Mr.
Lin, I was blind and failed to recognize Taishan, please forgive !”
However,
Lin Tian didn’t even glance at him, causing Ji Ping’s face to alternate between shades of green and white, standing there awkwardly, not knowing whether to retreat or stay.
anwhile,
The group that had just apologized to Lin Tian had already started berating and castigating Guan Caimao and Cheng Tingting.
“Guan Caimao, are you blind?
You almost got us killed!”
“I bet he did it on purpose, trying to provoke Mr.
Lin and drag us down with him!”
“I’m breaking off business relations with his father’s Huayu Group tomorrow!”
“And this little bitch, looking like a human but so venomous inside!”
“Exactly, supposedly an old classmate of Mr.
Lin, yet she put on airs and slandered Mr.
Lin.
If we hadn’t woken up in ti, she would have gotten us killed!”
The people alternated their words, sarcastically and furiously scolding Guan Caimao and Cheng Tingting, as if their earlier accusations against Lin Tian were all because of those two.
This dramatic change of face left many speechless and staring.
Beside them, Fang Qing’s expression was unsightly beyond compare.
Just now, besides understanding Lin Tian’s background, his certainty mainly ca from Guan Caimao and Cheng Tingting’s vehent assurances that Lin Tian was an intruder.
However, the turn of events had completely exceeded his expectations, and now, he was about to lose face imnsely.
“Fang Qing, co over and apologize!”
Dongfang Qu Ling suddenly turned back, commanding Fang Qing sharply.
Fang Qing gritted his teeth and then cast a pleading glance at Xia Chenglong.
If he apologized publicly now, his reputation would be dragged through the mud.
However, Xia Chenglong ignored him, standing there with a stern face, silent and unresponsive.
At this mont, Fang Qing realized just how formidable the woman in front of him was and could only humiliatingly lower his head and walk over, grinding his teeth as he said to Lin Tian, “Just now, I, Fang Qing, didn’t investigate thoroughly, I was wrong in this matter, please don’t hold grudges…”
Smack~~
Before Fang Qing could finish, Dongfang Qu Ling slapped him hard, “Is this your apology?
Is this how Young Masters of the Fang Family behave?
If you don’t apologize properly, I will break your legs myself and call Fang An to collect you!”
At these words, Fang Qing shivered, enduring the pain and humiliation on his face, and quickly said, “Mr.
Lin, it was my fault for looking down on people just now, please be magnanimous!”
“I rember you just said you wanted to kill !”
Lin Tian squinted at Fang Qing, his voice icy.
The glance from Dongfang Qu Ling beside him turned so frigid, causing Fang Qing’s face to turn white.
“It was a slip of the tongue, just a slip of the tongue!”
The cold, murderous gaze of the woman in front of him was terrifying, only soone who had killed would possess such a look, and Fang Qing was now scared, sweat running down.
Lin Tian gave a cold smile, no longer paying him any attention.
Not far away.
Seeing this scene, Cheng Tingting, and observing the surrounding people cursing her, felt utterly bewildered, unable to believe what was happening before her eyes.
“How can this be?
He’s clearly from a simple background, how co these influential figures are treating him with such respect?
He should be trying to please instead?”
Cheng Tingting’s expression was stunned, full of incomprehension.
“And you two?”
Dongfang Qu Ling’s gaze fell on Cheng Tingting and Guan Caimao, she barked coldly.
Guan Caimao was the first to co back to his senses, pale-faced, he ca over, “Mr.
Lin…”
“I rember you also shouted about wanting to kill ?”
Lin Tian’s gaze was freezing.
“I…”
Guan Caimao’s legs trembled, his speech faltering.
“Get lost, I don’t have ti to dilly-dally with individual apologies!
If I hear another word from you like that, I will make sure you won’t get the chance to speak again!”
Lin Tian shouted coldly.
Guan Caimao shook all over, hurriedly turned around and went.
But as he walked past Cheng Tingting, he slapped her face, “Damn it, you almost got killed!”
After saying that, he rushed out of the Treasure Identification Hall.
Cheng Tingting was again stunned there, staring blankly as Guan Caimao disappeared, then she watched Lin Tian, who was now surrounded and fawned over by the wealthy elites, a wave of regret washed over her.
But suddenly, she seed to muster so courage, walked up to Lin Tian with a hopeful face and said, “Lin…
Lin Tian, I’m sorry!
I was also blinded, please forgive !
Don’t you rember, back in middle school you confessed to , and now I accept!
When I rejected you, actually…
it was a test for you!”
Hearing this, everyone around widened their eyes.
Seen shaless, but never seen so shaless!
“Don’t disgust !
I already said, you an nothing in my eyes!
Besides, the you from back then is no longer here, and the current you, I don’t know how many beds and luxury cars you’ve been in!
Please, stay away from !”
Lin Tian looked indifferently at the sowhat laughable girl in front of him, his voice carrying utter detachnt.
How could this be?
Cheng Tingting’s face froze, then a miserable smile appeared, and she slumped down beside her, her heart filled with a deep sense of helplessness and profound regret flooding her whole being.
