The thought dawned in everyone's mind, and soon they began to sneer, especially after seeing Ye Qiu's attire.
"People nowadays, don't even see what they amount to, dressed so poorly yet dare to woo beauties."
"Exactly, and he wants to compete with Young Master Stone? What's his qualification!"
"Hey! Let's see how he embarrasses himself later!"
A group ridiculed, chuckling coldly as they waited to see Ye Qiu's disgrace.
As everyone expected, a joke indeed unfolded, but the butt of the joke wasn't Ye Qiu—it was Stone standing aside.
As Mia'er faced Ye Qiu's invitation, her face immediately bloomed into a smile and said, "Alright!"
After saying that, Mia'er even proactively extended her hand, waiting for Ye Qiu to hold it.
With Mia'er being so proactive, naturally, Ye Qiu wouldn't hesitate, took her hand, and headed toward the dance floor.
In an instant, everyone present was dumbfounded and flabbergasted!
Why! Why could someone dressed so poorly invite a beauty to dance, and that beauty seemed quite eager?
Could it be that the world's beauties are peculiar, not fond of the rich but like paupers?
No! Impossible!
Stone couldn't accept the fact. If someone more formidable appeared and invited Mia'er away, he could tolerate it, but who exactly was Ye Qiu, and why does he win Mia'er's heart while Stone couldn't?
Stone was spiteful, a woman he fancied couldn't possibly be let go so easily.
He intercepted Ye Qiu's path, glaring gloomily at Ye Qiu, "Kid, what do you mean by this? Didn't you know that this beauty is the woman I, Stone, fancy?"
"Which Stone? Don't know him." Ye Qiu replied nonchalantly.
"Haha! I'm the heir of the Aslimo family, which Stone do you think?" Stone sneered immediately, disdainfully looking at Ye Qiu, "If you're sensible, you'd better get far away from me now!"
"And you!" Stone turned to stare at Mia'er and said, "You bitch, are you intentionally disgusting me?"
Stone couldn't accept why Mia'er wouldn't fancy handsome and rich him, but would choose the lowly Ye Qiu!
In Stone's view, Mia'er chose Ye Qiu solely to disgust him, to humiliate him in front of everyone, which Stone couldn't accept nor endure!
Such a rude action by Stone didn't offend the crowd but rather seemed quite justified.
They even watched Ye Qiu with a look of amusement, waiting for him to be intimidated by Stone.
But they were too naive; who was Ye Qiu? He didn't regard even the Duwei Clan highly, let alone some never-heard-of Aslimo family.
"Get far away!"
If Stone merely spoke about him, Ye Qiu still wouldn't bother, but insulting Mia'er as a bitch crossed the line. When did anyone get the right to insult his woman? Did he have that qualification?
"Courting death!"
Stone was furious, what's his status? Always the one ordering others to scram, yet this pauper in front dares to order him to scram? What a joke!
Seeing Stone not budge, Ye Qiu sneered, having given him a chance he didn't cherish, so he couldn't blame Ye Qiu for being ruthless!
All of a sudden, Ye Qiu grabbed Stone and dragged him aside.
No one expected Ye Qiu to resort to action immediately, still a bit confused watching Ye Qiu.
But in the next second, something happened that surprised everyone even more.
Ye Qiu promptly dunked Stone's head into a nearby wine barrel, pressing down his head while begrudgingly saying:
"Fools like you I seldom see; seems you're out today without taking your meds? If so, I'll have to rinse your brain for clarity!"
"Mmm mmm mmm..."
Stone felt he was near suffocation as large gulps of wine flooded into his lungs. When he felt he was about to die, Ye Qiu finally lifted him and flung him aside like trash.
"Ugh..."
Stone kept dry-heaving, desperately gasping for air.
The feeling of near-death was strangely marvelous, yet his chest burned with rage; tonight was a total disgrace for him.
Starting from Mia'er to Ye Qiu now, nothing seemed to bode well for him!
This deepened his hatred for Ye Qiu and Mia'er, but this time he learned, knowing Ye Qiu could effortlessly lift him, it indicated he was not Ye Qiu's match. Thus, he scrambled away awkwardly.
"Security, security? Come, someone was beaten here! I've been attacked!"
Stone yelled aloud.
With his ruckus, security indeed rushed urgently.
"Young Master Stone, what happened? Who hit you?"
These security guards clearly recognized Stone, respectfully questioning.
"That pauper over there! What is going on here? How could you let that pauper in? Aren't you afraid he'll steal something?" Stone loudly rebuked, spewing out various defamatory words.
Despite their discomfort at Stone's insults, the guards couldn't counter him and looked towards his indicated direction.
When they saw the person Stone pointed at was Ye Qiu, they were all taken aback.
"Hey, this guy's in for trouble now."
"Whose fault is it? His own, for no reason provoking Young Master Stone."
"Well then, he's probably about to be thrown out soon."
Everyone looked at Ye Qiu sympathetically.
However, being watched by those guards, Ye Qiu remained undisturbed, boldly saying to them, "Throw this fly out, and don't let me see him again!"
"What?"
Although Ye Qiu's words weren't loud, everyone present heard them clearly.
"Hahaha, is this guy's brain fried? Who does he think he is? Daring to command the Harry Clan's guards to throw Young Master Stone out?"
"Speechless, truly speechless; no clue how this person's brain developed."
The crowd shook their heads continuously, pondering where Ye Qiu's confidence came from.
While Stone reacted more exaggeratedly, bursting into laughter.
"With just you? You think you can throw me out? Haha! I'd like to see who can throw me out! Who dares to throw me out!" Stone arrogantly stood there, embodying an aura of 'I'm God.'
