Lu Yu's words carried not the slightest hint of apology, but were laced with an air of arrogance and playfulness, akin to a cat toying with mice, full of mockery and indifference!
Upon hearing Lu Yu's comnt, Miao Jian's expression changed slightly, turning extrely unpleasant. He imdiately realized that Lu Yu was rely echoing his previous words back at him!
"Hold it in, hold it in, now is not the ti to get angry. In a while, I will thoroughly humiliate you, make you, the forr Eldest Young Master Lu, lose all face!"
Clutching his cheek where the nu had hit, Miao Jian said coldly to himself, forcing a smile as he spoke, "It's nothing! Young Master Lu did it unintentionally, it's nothing!"
Miao Jian's tone was as calm as possible, as he restrained himself from getting angry.
"You too, Manager Miao, you look tall and impressive, quite the figure, yet you can't even catch a nu?"
Upon hearing Miao Jian's words, Lu Yu replied blandly.
Lu Yu's words were extrely indifferent, giving Miao Jian no face-saving opportunity, with his speech full of hidden jabs and a trace of disdain, as if blaming Miao Jian for not dodging the nu.
Hearing this, Miao Jian's expression changed, utterly astonished that Lu Yu gave him no quarter. Even though no outsiders were present, this exchange had a subtle sense of usurping the host's role!
Buzz!
Just as Miao Jian was about to speak, his phone suddenly rang, the sound piercingly loud in the private room.
Upon hearing it, Miao Jian's face changed again. He took out his phone and saw the three characters "Li Ruixue" displayed on the screen.
Seeing these characters, Miao Jian's expression changed slightly. He adjusted his deanor quickly, pressed the call button, and said, "Hello, Brother Li, when are you coming? We're at your Jialing Building waiting for you to start the al!"
Miao Jian's tone carried a hint of obsequiousness.
One must know that Li Ruixue is a senior figure in the Celestial Wolf Association, undeniably an important person there. The growth of Miao Jian's real estate company wouldn't have been possible without Li Ruixue's support, making his tone exceedingly ingratiating, even over the phone.
"I'll be there shortly. Who else is present tonight?"
Over the phone, Li Ruixue's voice bood, his deanor that of a seasoned figure.
Who else is present?
Hearing this, Miao Jian glanced at Lu Yu, seemingly inadvertently, and said, "Not many, aside from my girlfriend and , there's just soone freeloading; no need for you to bother about it, Brother Li."
Miao Jian consciously emphasized the words "freeloading" during his speech, revealing a hint of malice in his gaze toward Lu Yu.
"Dare to act so brashly in front of , ordering a thirty-thousand yuan bottle of wine and pricier dishes, even daring to throw the nu in my face!? Just you wait, when Li Ruixue arrives, we'll see how you deal with it!"
At this mont, Miao Jian thought darkly to himself, his gaze icy and malicious.
However, Lu Yu observed all of Miao Jian's malicious intentions but remained indifferent.
Lu Yu knew full well that the Jialing Building was an asset of the Celestial Wolf Association. Yunting, the leader of the Association, would treat him with great respect, addressing him as Young Master Lu. Miao Jian choosing this place to humiliate him was simply courting disaster!
The mont Miao Jian said this, he sneaked a glance at Lu Yu. Seeing that Lu Yu remained expressionless, Miao Jian sneered inwardly, "Hmph, he can endure being called a freeloader. It seems this Young Master of the Lu Family has truly forsaken his dignity for a al!"
Thinking this, he hung up the phone and said to Zhang Ruxue beside him, "It seems now that Young Master Lu's temper has really llowed. It's just as the books say; hardship truly can make soone more temperate."
"Indeed," Zhang Ruxue echoed, taking a look at Lu Yu as she spoke, "Tsk, tsk, look at this outfit, does it even add up to a thousand yuan?"
Lu Yu's entire outfit was casually purchased, totaling about five hundred yuan.
Upon hearing Zhang Ruxue's words, Lu Yu didn't mind. He just looked at Zhang Ruxue and Miao Jian impassively.
A mont ago, a nu had struck Miao Jian's face and didn't anger him. Coupled with Miao Jian's sycophantic phone call, it indicated that a significant figure was expected soon. Thus, Lu Yu couldn't be bothered responding to Miao Jian and Zhang Xueru. He simply waited for the important person's arrival.
Shortly after, dish after dish that Lu Yu ordered were brought in. Seeing the exquisite dishes laid before him, Lu Yu started eating without hesitation.
Witnessing this scene, the smile on Miao Jian's face grew even wider. His eyes filled with disdain as he thought to himself, "This fool, does he still think he's the revered Eldest Young Master Lu from five years ago? Now, Li Ruixue hasn't even arrived, yet you start eating on your own accord. I'll see how you manage later!"
As a senior figure in the Celestial Wolf Association, Li Ruixue commands significant presence. Normally, no one would dare eat without him present when inviting him to dine. By starting to eat on his own, Lu Yu was clearly violating Li Ruixue's taboos.
Miao Jian snickered repeatedly, eager to see the scene when Li Ruixue arrived and found Lu Yu eating on his own accord.
Bang!
While Miao Jian was thinking this, the door to the room was suddenly pushed open, and a burly man walked in, his steps heavy and imposing.
This man was none other than Li Ruixue, elder of the Celestial Wolf Association and the person in charge of Jialing Building!
"Brother Li, you're finally here!"
Seeing Li Ruixue's arrival, Miao Jian eagerly stood up to greet him, shaking his hand with a sycophantic expression.
anwhile, turning his face slightly, he looked at Lu Yu, who was eating, and said, "Wow, how childish of you to start eating on your own, how inconsiderate. Brother Li just got here, and you think it's your place to start eating first?"
Miao Jian's tone was sarcastic, laced with a sneer.
This remark was intentionally said for Li Ruixue to hear—Miao Jian wanted Li Ruixue to notice Lu Yu eating on his own.
Upon hearing this, Li Ruixue turned slightly to look at Lu Yu, his gaze betraying a hint of displeasure!
