Zhou Lin showered Hee Quan with compliments, while Hu Ke kept sneering and giving Su Yang sidelong glances. This round had thoroughly put Su Yang down.
Suddenly, Hu Ke said, "Shuya, could you go buy me a pack of tissues?"
"Oh?" Wang Shuya was startled but, still thoughtfully, went off to find a convenience booth.
Taking advantage of the opportunity, Hu Ke walked straight up to Su Yang and said sternly, "Listen up, Mr. Su. Shuya is my best friend, and you’d better not think about making a move on her. Just now, you saw the gap between you and my brother. Get any closer to Shuya, and believe me, I will break your arms and legs!"
Hee Quan stood by, pretending to hear nothing. Zhou Lin also gave a cold laugh and said, "People like you need to understand their place in the world. Shuya is not someone a country bumpkin like you can match, so you’d better be aware of your own limits. Now scram before you annoy us further, got it?"
Su Yang frowned. These two really treated him like he was nothing, ready to trample all over him.
"What if I don’t leave?" Su Yang asked.
"If you don’t leave, then I’ll have to make sure you leave lying down!" Zhou Lin said as he cracked his knuckles and approached: "I might not be as strong as Brother Quan, but I have more than enough to deal with trash like you, I..."
Zhou Lin’s speech halted there because Wang Shuya had already returned.
"Here you go, Keke," said Wang Shuya, handing a pack of tissues to Hu Ke. Noticing the tense atmosphere, she asked in surprise, "What’s going on? Why do you all look so serious?"
"It’s nothing, nothing at all," Hu Ke changed the subject quickly. "The martial arts tournament is about to start. Let’s head over."
"All right," said Wang Shuya, looking at Su Yang. "Su Yang, let’s go together and have a look."
Su Yang slowly nodded, but he gave Zhou Lin a deep, meaningful look.
The martial arts tournament was held in the basement ring of Hidden Dragon Villa, and getting in to watch was not easy. Apart from the competitors and those directly invited by Hidden Dragon Villa, others had to buy tickets to enter.
The tickets were not cheap. Better seats were three thousand each, and even the cheapest seats were eight hundred each.
Zhou Lin immediately bought four three-thousand-yuan tickets, one for each of the four of them, excluding only Su Yang.
"We’re short of a ticket," said Wang Shuya.
"There are four of us, one ticket each. That’s right," Hu Ke said, looking at Su Yang with a smile. "Big Master Su, you couldn’t possibly be so poor that you can’t even afford a ticket, could you?"
"Hey, Keke, that’s not how you talk!" Zhou Lin said with a laugh. "Does a ’big master’ like Su Yang need a ticket? He’s a contestant; he can just enter with his face, right?"
Su Yang didn’t say anything, but Wang Shuya was getting anxious: "Su Yang, we came together, of course, we should go in together. Come on, give me another three-thousand-yuan ticket!"
Wang Shuya was about to pay when Hu Ke grabbed her, glaring, "Shuya, have you lost your mind? Since when does a girl pay for a guy? What, is your old classmate moonlighting as a freeloader? Can’t afford a ticket and still wants to watch the competition? Why don’t you just go back to farming?"
"Exactly, having to rely on a girl to buy you a ticket. How can you even have the face to stand with a girl?" Zhou Lin also looked at Su Yang with disdain. "People like you are destined to be single for life. If any girl likes you, she must be blind!"
"Hey, why do you talk like that!" Wang Shuya was upset.
"Zhou Lin is right," said Hu Ke. "Shuya, your classmate here is way out of line, isn’t he? He can’t even afford a ticket, and he still wants to chase girls? Let me tell you, if a girl ever likes a guy like you, I’ll write my name backwards!"
Su Yang looked at the three of them leisurely, his eyes already starting to darken.
"What? You’re staring at me? Don’t you accept it?" Zhou Lin sneered. "If you don’t accept it, then buy a ticket and join us to watch the match!"
Just as Su Yang was about to speak, Zhou Lin’s eyes suddenly went wide. Or rather, everyone’s eyes did, all of them staring intently behind Su Yang, their expressions frozen.
"Hey, Su Yang, I finally found you!" Hu Xiexie’s voice came from behind.
Hu Xiexie would definitely not miss such a lively event.
It turned out Zhou Lin was stunned because he had seen Hu Xiexie. Actually, with Hu Xiexie’s looks, anyone who saw her would be shocked. Zhou Lin was shocked, Hee Quan was shocked, and even the two girls were shocked.
Under everyone’s gaze, Hu Xiexie walked straight up to Su Yang and naturally grabbed his arm. "I’ve been looking for you for so long, why can’t I reach your phone? Are you trying to make me enforce the family rules?"
The onlookers were even more stunned. Family rules? Were these two that close?
Good heavens, how could such a beautiful girl be so intimate with Su Yang? What in the world was going on?
Upon seeing Hu Xiexie, a smile finally appeared on Su Yang’s face. "My phone ran out of battery, do you need something?"
"Of course, I need something!" Hu Xiexie exclaimed. "You need to arrange five tickets for me, in a premium box, okay? My four best friends and I came together to watch the match!"
"What?" Su Yang was taken aback, and so were Zhou Lin and the others. She asked Su Yang to arrange it, were they crazy?
"You want me to arrange?" Su Yang was somewhat surprised, it was his first time here, how was he supposed to arrange that?
"Miss, you might be mistaken," Zhou Lin immediately said. "What can he arrange? The premium boxes here are not for sale to the public, only the guests of this place can enter. Besides, even if they were for sale, do you know how expensive the tickets for the premium boxes are? Can he afford it? Why don’t you come with us? The seats in the front row for three thousand aren’t bad, your girl friends? I’ll buy them for you!" Newest update provıded by novel✶fire.net
While Zhou Lin spoke, he pulled out his wallet, intentionally or unintentionally flaunting his BMW car keys, clearly trying to overwhelm Su Yang with wealth.
Hu Xiexie gave Zhou Lin a glance and said, "Who are you? Did I speak to you?"
Zhou Lin was dumbfounded. Was Hu Xiexie this arrogant? Why was she so intimate with a poor guy like Su Yang, but so cold toward a rich second generation like him?
"Miss, my name is Zhou Lin, I come from the provincial city..." Zhou Lin introduced himself.
"Get out of the way, I don’t care what Zhou Lin or Li Lin you are," Hu Xiexie waved him off and looked at Su Yang. "Hey, are you arranging it or not, give me a straight answer, will you?"
"I... How can I arrange that?" Su Yang spoke somewhat speechlessly, still unsure about how to even enter the venue.
"You, why can’t you be more straightforward!" Hu Xiexie urged anxiously. "Hidden Dragon Villa is an enterprise under Qingyun Clubhouse. You are one of the major shareholders of Qingyun Clubhouse, if you can’t arrange it, who can? It’s just a phone call away, why are you dawdling?"
