"Alright, alright, it's me. What do you want? Get lost! Don't bother me." Xu Shaoyuan said impatiently, waving his hand as if trying to swat a fly.

Chen Shuyan gave Xu Shaoyuan a surprised look. She originally thought Xu Shaoyuan would just watch the show, but unexpectedly, not only did he not stand by, he seemed to dislike others interrupting his conversation with Ye Hao.

Indeed, Xu Shaoyuan didn't like being interrupted. After all, there weren't many opportunities to have a pleasant chat with someone like Ye Hao. With Ye Hao's remarkable insights and eloquence, Xu Shaoyuan enjoyed chatting with him to relax.

"You... you're looking for trouble. Do you know who I am?" Huang Zushou, probably used to being a bully, liked to ask, "Do you know who I am?" when intimidating others.

"You better think carefully. Almost everyone here comes from a prestigious family. If you're sure you can take me down, then bark away! Otherwise, get lost. You're like an annoying fly. I feel sick just looking at you." Xu Shaoyuan said disdainfully to Huang Zushou.

"Who... who do you think you are?" Huang Zushou, accustomed to being arrogant, didn't recognize Xu Shaoyuan as someone not to be messed with from the major families in Yanjing. He believed Xu Shaoyuan was just bluffing to scare him away.

"If you keep barking, I'll kick you out myself." Xu Shaoyuan looked at Huang Zushou with disdain.

"Your mom..."

"Bang!"

Xu Shaoyuan stood up, quickly approached Huang Zushou, and with a sweeping kick, sent him flying into the hall.

Many items in the hall were knocked over by Huang Zushou's body. He even collided with two people as he fell backward.

Among those he bumped into were Zhong Ke, the eldest young master of the Zhong Family, and his second sister, Zhong Ting.

"Thud!"

Huang Zushou's body fell to the ground, and Zhong Ke and Zhong Ting were drenched in red and white wine.

"Ah! Which bastard did this?" Zhong Ting, wearing a silk skirt, fell to the ground in an embarrassing position and stood up furiously, shouting.

Red wine dripped from her clothes, and her hair was a complete mess.

Zhong Ke, usually composed, couldn't hold back in this situation. He also stood up and roared, "Who the hell did this?"

Seeing that both were members of the Zhong Family, direct descendants, Huang Zushou was so frightened that he fainted on the spot.

At this point, Xie Shuxin and a few others rushed over to check on Huang Zushou and vigorously shook him.

"Wake up, what's wrong with Zushou?" Xie Shuxin shouted loudly.

She also pressed on Huang Zushou's chest from time to time, hoping he would regain consciousness quickly.

Feigning unconsciousness, Huang Zushou screamed internally, Ni Ma! Can't you see I'm pretending to be dead? In this situation, why are you trying to wake me up!

As the onlookers grew in number, Huang Zushou felt he couldn't fake it any longer, so he pretended to regain consciousness, acting as if he had fainted just now.

"Ah! Bastard, you made a fool out of me. I'm going to kill you." Zhong Ting rushed at Huang Zushou, hitting him while yelling.

Huang Zushou felt utterly wronged, with no way to express his grievances. It wasn't his intention, but what could he do about it now?

In the midst of this, Tang Hao spoke with authority, "Enough, what do you want by continuing this? It's supposed to be a nice gathering, not chaos."

Tang Hao's words prompted Zhong Ke to help his sister up, sparing Huang Zushou from further beating.

But Huang Zushou was still upset. At a perfectly good gathering, he was ambushed, kicked, and sent flying, even getting involved with two direct descendants of the Zhong Family. His future was bound to be difficult!

Thinking of this, Huang Zushou teared up in grievance.

Ye Long and Ye Qingcheng, along with others, were watching, but they didn't know what had transpired.

Others were the same—why had a person suddenly flown out like that, leaving the hall in disarray with shattered wine stands?

Tang Hao, standing among so many people, was in a sensitive position. Although he didn't want to get involved, he was worried others might criticize him for not standing up when someone was bullied, which could reflect poorly on his father.

"What's going on?" Tang Hao asked.

Thinking Tang Hao was about to stand by him, Huang Zushou quickly began crying and complaining, "I don't know either. I was ambushed in that suite, then kicked out. Mr. Tang, you have to stand up for me!"

Upon hearing this, Xie Shuxin and others looked over at Ye Hao's suite.

Tang Hao also followed their gaze towards Ye Hao's suite.

When he saw the stunning Lin Ruyu, his heart skipped a beat, a long-forgotten feeling arising once more.

Ye Long and Ye Qingcheng also saw Ye Hao and quickly walked over.

When Shangguan Longyi came, instructed by her grandmother to treat Ye Hao like a big brother, not to be rude to him anymore, she didn't understand why but trusted her beloved grandmother wouldn't harm her. So, she followed, bringing Shangguan Longyi along.

"It's him! That man standing over there, he kicked me away. It wasn't my fault." Huang Zushou, feeling that everyone supported him, quickly voiced his grievance.

"Why did he kick you?" Tang Hao, not one to be easily swayed, asked patiently, especially with a beautiful woman watching. He wanted to maintain his image.

"I… I just said a couple of things, and he felt I was talking too much, then kicked me." Huang Zushou didn't dare admit he insulted Xu Shaoyuan, only claiming he said a couple of things too many.

"Is that so?" Tang Hao asked, giving Huang Zushou a deep look.

By this time, Zhong Ke and Zhong Ting had changed their outfits and returned.

Zhong Ting, coming out, gave Huang Zushou a cold glare and asked, "Tell me, why did you do this earlier?"

Huang Zushou, glancing toward Ye Hao's suite, made his intentions clear. He hoped Zhong Ting would hassle Xu Shaoyuan.

"It wasn't my fault, it was them. He's the one who kicked me." Huang Zushou pointed his accusation towards Xu Shaoyuan.

At this point, Ye Qingcheng and others were already at Ye Hao's suite.

"Brother Ye Hao." Ye Qingcheng joyfully walked up and gave Ye Hao a hug around the neck.

Lin Ruyu huffed in displeasure.

"Hao!" Ye Long, Ye Dong, and Ye Nan called out with a smile.

Shangguan Longyi, following behind and seeing this, awkwardly greeted, "Hao."

"Haha, you're all here. Have a seat! Qingcheng, this is your sister-in-law." Ye Hao, seeing Lin Ruyu pouting, said with a smile.

Sure enough, upon hearing this, Lin Ruyu stopped pouting and instead blushed.

"Ah! Sister-in-law, you're beautiful!" Ye Qingcheng exclaimed, turning around to give Lin Ruyu a close look, her eyes shining.
