Hotel lobby.
In no time, Ye Qingcheng, Yi Tianxing, and others walked into the lobby. Besides the two of them, the presidents of Li International, Gaotian Group, and Lingyun International all exuded anger.
Ye Qingcheng's beautiful eyes first fell on Xiao Tianyu, a very cold look, especially when she saw Xiao Tianyu serving food to Shangguan Biyue, her heart felt even worse.
Thinking back to what Gao Qing said in the private room, she disliked Xiao Tianyu even more. Is this her husband? What difference does he have from a thug, rude and violent, with no sense of decency at all? Perhaps only a woman like Shangguan Biyue would fancy him. Luckily, they would divorce in two days.
There's a saying: when you like someone, everything about them is a merit; when you dislike them, everything about them is a flaw. Because of this, Ye Qingcheng could only see Xiao Tianyu's flaws and none of his merits.
Even if Xiao Tianyu successfully secured Great Ao for Biyue International at the auction, he kicked her, Ye Qingcheng, out of the game without considering whether she, Ye Qingcheng, was his wife.
"Your main wife is watching us!" Shangguan Biyue smiled gently, as brazen as only she could be; perhaps no one else could be like her.
"President Ye, it seems your cuckoldry is unsurpassed. Your husband dines boldly with his mistress, while you, the rightful one, can only watch!" Yi Tianxing smiled slightly, his eyes full of sarcasm.
He had known about Ye Qingcheng and Xiao Tianyu's relationship for a while. After all, he heard it himself when he visited Ye Qingcheng's villa a few days ago, and that time Xiao Tianyu beat him up fiercely.
That day, Xiao Tianyu said, "Even heaven has exceptions, but defying me is impossible."
Yi Tianxing never forgot that statement, which was a humiliation to him. How could he forget?
However, what puzzled him was that despite sending assassins to kill Xiao Tianyu, why was Xiao Tianyu still fine and even successfully represented Biyue International at the auction to seize Great Ao?
To this day, Yi Tianxing had no idea where the assassins he sent had gone. It was as if they vanished into thin air. There was only one possibility left; they failed to kill Xiao Tianyu and were killed by Xiao Tianyu instead.
"Mind your own business!" Ye Qingcheng snorted coldly.
At this moment, the presidents of Li Group, Lingyun Group, and Gaotian Group were all staring angrily at Xiao Tianyu and Shangguan Biyue.
Finally, the chairman of Li Group could not help but ask, "President Shangguan, what do you mean by this? What did my son do to offend you, that you manipulated Celestial Universe International Hotel's bodyguards to arrest him?"
"And my son from Lingyun, whose legs were broken by your Biyue International's director Xiao Tianyu. Aren't you going to give me an explanation?"
"..."
Many presidents spoke, as they believed Shangguan Biyue was orchestrating everything to retaliate against them. Xiao Tianyu was just an executive director and couldn't possibly have such influence.
Furthermore, during the past auction, Celestial Universe International Hotel supported Biyue International with one trillion freely, reinforcing their belief that Celestial Universe Hotel was doing it for Shangguan Biyue's sake in capturing their sons.
Even though they feared Celestial Universe International Hotel, they did not fear Shangguan Biyue.
"What are you all doing? Looking for trouble?" At that moment, a deep voice rang out as hotel manager Mo Wenshan arrived with several security guards, stating, "Are all of you trying to get yourselves killed?"
At this, the presidents showed grim expressions, all looking fearful, yet they couldn't ignore their captured sons.
Thus, Gao Hong from Gaotian Group spoke up, "My son Gao Qiang was dining at Celestial Universe. May I ask, Manager Mo, what did he do to be captured by your people?"
"He was fighting and damaged a table and two chairs at Celestial Universe, severely affecting our hotel's reputation. How should we handle it? Should he be allowed to act recklessly?"
"If you won't discipline your sons, then I'll have to do it for you!" Mo Wenshan's voice was particularly assertive.
With these words, instead of expressing their anger, the presidents felt apprehensive. They could not offend Mo Wenshan, the manager of Celestial Universe Hotel.
"I think Manager Mo misunderstood!" Yi Tianxing spoke faintly.
"Does this concern you? Did any of the beaten people include your son?"
"Well..."
"No? Then shut up!" Mo Wenshan showed no leniency, causing Yi Tianxing's eyes to turn icy. Celestial Universe International was truly bullying people.
Then, Mo Wenshan's deep gaze swept across the presidents, continuing, "Your sons caused trouble at Celestial Universe Hotel, staining our reputation and potentially making it to the news. If you want them to remain unharmed, you'd better compensate for our losses!"
"Manager Mo, you're crossing the line. Everyone knows it was Xiao Tianyu who started hitting people first. Why aren't you letting him pay but demanding us to compensate?"
"Lingyun clarified, none of this involves Xiao Tianyu!"
"That's because Xiao Tianyu had unclear relationships with the former bodyguards, which is why my son was unjustly accused!" The chairman of Li Group shouted.
"One billion!" Mo Wenshan stated calmly.
What, one billion?
Is the compensation a billion? This... isn't this too predatory? Breaking one table and two chairs, and the compensation is a billion? Damn those kids, they're typical troublemakers.
The surrounding people showed a shocked expression; one billion is an extremely terrifying sum for anyone. Even if it affects Celestial Universe Hotel's reputation, it seems the reputation isn't worth that much.
It appears Celestial Universe Hotel is setting an example, so who would dare to cause trouble there in the future?
However, what's even more surprising is that the culprit behind the trouble, Xiao Tianyu, remains unfazed.
The president of Lingyun International spoke, "You're robbing..."
"Two billion!" Mo Wenshan interrupted directly.
"You... you..."
"Three billion!"
"I can appeal to the Supreme Peo..."
"Four billion!"
"..."
At that moment, all presidents were silent. Each time they spoke, the price directly increased by a billion. How could they not keep quiet?
Even if their families had a mountain of gold and silver, it wouldn't be enough for such compensation. Even if they appealed to the court, Celestial Universe International would remain Celestial Universe International.
"Celestial Universe International is truly overbearing!" Yi Tianxing, standing aside, also felt shocked. Opening with one billion, rebuking adds more; is making money this easy?
Ye Qingcheng felt the same, even wondering if it truly had nothing to do with Xiao Tianyu, or if Celestial Universe International was deliberately helping him, or perhaps aiding Shangguan Biyue?
