Skeleton Elf
Chapter 497 Still Need My Upper-Bunk Brothers
The veterans of the pleasure grounds thought Ayouyou was the kind that grew on you, possessing an inexplicable attraction. Their gazes swept over her wantonly, even with a hint of anticipation, wondering if the girlfriend of a champion tasted different.
Ma Long and Sheng Man introduced them. CEO Li had always been a social butterfly, immediately greeting everyone politely, giving Ma Long and Sheng Man plenty of face.
Seeing Li Hao so humble, the slight wariness they had immediately disappeared, and the group began to chatter away freely.
Li Hao patiently satisfied their vanity, feeling a little sorry for Ma Long, who would have to endure this for much longer.
"How should I address this young lady? May I have your Sky讯 number? I am Sheng Cai, of the Sheng family. I believe we could have some very profitable communications." A young man in a sharp suit, whose aura was obviously more assertive than the others, asked Ayouyou.
Ayouyou waved her hand. "No need."
"The young lady seems to be from the moon. Our Sheng family also has businesses on the moon. From the looks of it, you're still studying, correct?" Sheng Cai held a glass of red wine, still unhurried. Girls were just a little reserved.
Li Hao frowned slightly, and Ma Long's expression also became a little unpleasant.
Ayouyou ignored him, walking to Li Hao's side. "Senior, didn't you have other plans for the evening? Let's not disturb Ma Long and Sheng Man."
"That's right, I still have things to do, haha, see you at school." Li Hao chuckled. If it weren't for Ma Long, these few small fries would have had to leave something behind.
"Don't be in such a hurry, you two..." Sheng Cai wasn't so easily refused.
"Enough!" Sheng Man suddenly snorted coldly. "Sheng Cai, you're not young anymore, have some shame!"
Instantly, everyone quieted down, but their eyes showed not embarrassment but a look of anticipation. Sheng Cai was the youngest son of the current head of the Sheng family, receiving extraordinary pampering.
"Sheng Man, you're very bold. Now that you've said this, you'll have to spend a few nights with me to soothe my anger." Sheng Cai's lips twisted, his eyes revealing a coldness. "Your family is only where it is today because you follow us around, eating our scraps. If we cut off your business, you'd be a bunch of refugees. What are you putting on airs for?"
Sheng Man stared at him coldly. "You're so old, yet so stupid. How have you survived until today? My friend came to prevent us from being put in a difficult position. Do you really think anyone would take a liking to you? You don't know how ugly you are!"
Ma Long subconsciously touched his face. "Honey, I'm handsome, not ugly!"
Li Hao and Ayouyou couldn't help but laugh, and the expressions of the group turned ugly. They never expected Sheng Man and Ma Long to suddenly show them so little respect.
Sheng Cai was also infuriated. When had he ever been mocked like this, especially on his own turf? He snorted coldly. "It seems you've become complacent after living leisurely for too long and forgotten your roots. I'll give you one last chance. Kneel down and kiss my shoes, or I'll let you know what regret is."
Within the Sheng family's network, he was used to getting whatever he wanted. What was it to play around with a woman he fancied? If he hadn't seen a beauty like Sheng Man emerge from the Sheng family, would he even come to this broken place? Was it worthy of him?
"Sheng Man, you'd better apologize quickly. Young Master Sheng is truly angry this time. If he revokes your family's agency rights in Tianjing, your parents' company will go bankrupt immediately, and you'll even be burdened with debt. You might really have to sell yourself to pay it off. Do you really expect your boyfriend to do anything?"
"He can sell himself too." A bunch of onlookers who weren't afraid of trouble chimed in. "Many rich women like S-Rank champions."
Some were truly stupid, while others, though aware of the value of an S-Rank title, didn't care. If they pleased Young Master Sheng, their lives would be easier. Ma Long couldn't bring them anything. Their values followed their interests.
Ma Long couldn't bear it any longer. He had been enduring only for Sheng Man's sake, not wanting to punch the other party flat. These dogs were nothing to him, but he didn't want to embarrass Sheng Man and her parents. He knew that running a company was not easy, and at least half of what they said was true.
Ayouyou couldn't help but smile. "Don't be anxious, I'll make a call."
At that moment, Ayouyou seemed to radiate a different kind of charm, strangely alluring, which made many of the men present gulp.
"Aunt, do we have a business partner from the Sheng family?"
"What's going on? You actually remembered me? Did you two quarrel?" Su Yu was shocked. She thought Ayouyou had blocked her. "Ah, what family?"
Ayouyou looked at Sheng Man. "What's the name of your parent company?"
"Sheng Tong International Trade Group."
"It's called Sheng Tong International Trade Group, registered in USE." Ayouyou asked. "I vaguely remember such a company."
Ayouyou had the ability to never forget anything she saw. As a family heir, she had to skim through the annual financial reports.
"Oh, there is such a one. What did this small, broken company do?" Su Yu's tone was unfriendly. She knew Ayouyou too well.
"Sheng Man, what's the name of your family's company?"
"Sheng Yun Tianjing Trading Co., Ltd." Sheng Man said, stunned.
"Aunt, terminate the contract with them and give the agency rights to Sheng Yun, that is, Sheng Man's family." Ayouyou said.
Su Yu didn't care about this. "What's wrong? You don't sound happy. Who provoked you? Is Li Hao a dead man?!"
"What are you thinking? Don't talk nonsense about my senior. Just handle it like that. We should definitely work with our friends." Ayouyou laughed.
With that, she hung up the Sky讯, to save Su Yu from nagging. Such a small matter was insignificant in the vast scale of the Dullivan family.
Everyone watched Ayouyou's actions, and couldn't help but laugh.
Sheng Man, standing to the side, was blushing. "Ayouyou... Thank you!"
Ayouyou blinked. "Just consider it an advance on your wedding gift."
Ma Long glanced at Sheng Man, and at this point, he also realized what this meant.
Li Hao took Ayouyou's hand, and said goodbye to the two of them. But unexpectedly, Sheng Cai waved his hand, and immediately bodyguards tried to stop them. Li Hao flicked his little finger, and the bodyguards immediately collapsed on the ground. Then he flicked Sheng Cai's lower body again, and Sheng Cai screamed and fell to the ground.
Instantly, no one dared to stop them. Li Hao took Ayouyou out. "Why do people like that exist?"
Ayouyou took Li Hao's arm. "It's normal. People's thoughts are limited by their surroundings."
"Should I take you to eat something delicious?"
"Are you going to take care of your pizza shop again?"
"It's our pizza shop!"
At this time, there was a commotion in the banquet hall. After a while, several middle-aged men also rushed out. Seeing Sheng Cai on the ground, they were furious. Everyone looked mockingly at Sheng Man and Ma Long. It was good to be impulsive for a moment, but they would be in trouble next.
As a result, these middle-aged men rushed up and kicked Sheng Cai violently, kicking him to death. Instantly, everyone was dumbfounded.
Sheng Man's parents still looked confused, and followed out blankly. They had just received a Sky讯 from the Interstellar Group under the Dullivan family, saying that their company would take over the agency rights in the Asian region in the future. They both thought it was a scam call, and as several other people also received Sky讯, they were canceled their agency rights, and their faces turned pale instantly. Sheng Man's name was mentioned inside.
When they came out and saw the scene outside, although they didn't know what had happened, it was obviously related to Sheng Cai and Sheng Man.
"My dear niece, if this brat has offended you in any way, I will beat him to death to apologize to you." Sheng Long quickly apologized. He came this time because he had taken a fancy to Tianjing's popularity and wanted to take advantage of the S-Rank competition to expand, not for the sake of these two young people.
Sheng Man quickly waved her hand. "He has offended more than just me."
"Manman, what exactly is going on? Why did we suddenly become the Tianjing agent of TC Interstellar Group?" Sheng Man's father looked incredulous, but his expression was much more stable.
Sheng Man smiled slightly, and looked at Ma Long. "The efficiency is too high."
"Haha, dear niece, we are all one family, so any misunderstandings can be resolved. This kid..."
Sheng Man quickly waved her hand. "Uncle, I advise you to go back and pack up quickly. If you can eat something good, eat more. Canceling your agency rights is only the first step. The Dullivan family's anger is not so easily appeased."
Instantly, everyone reacted, and even Sheng Cai, who was lying on the ground wailing and covering his crotch with bloody hands, quieted down.
Dullivan?
Someone immediately explained it.
Sheng Long's face was gloomy. "That girl is from the Dullivan family? Even so, she can't distort the truth and be unreasonable."
Sheng Man couldn't help but laugh, and pointed at Sheng Cai on the ground. "Sure enough, you have talent when you are big, but you are talentless when you are small. When people want to reason with you, you want to act like a rogue. When people fight back, you want to reason with them. Uncle, you still don't realize the person who can cancel your agency rights with a single phone call is extraordinary."
Sheng Long's expression changed constantly, his eyes fierce. Ma Long stood in front, looking relaxed. If these little trash dared to move again, he would have some fun. Sheng Long glanced at Ma Long, and ordered people to lift Sheng Cai and leave in disgrace.
Sheng Man finally breathed a sigh of relief. Since the family suddenly came to their side, she could feel the huge pressure on her parents. With the rise of Tianjing, her parents were frowning all day long, and Sheng Cai was constantly harassing her, making all kinds of innuendo.
Ma Long's face was still a little unpleasant, and Sheng Man also realized what was happening, and pulled Ma Long to a separate room.
"Manman, did you do it on purpose?" Ma Long suddenly asked.
Sheng Man was silent for a while. "I'm sorry, it's half and half. Although it wasn't intentional, I did take advantage of the situation just now."
Ma Long didn't say anything, and Sheng Man helplessly waved her hand. "Ma Long, you also know about our family's situation. They came this time to seize the company. Not only that, but Sheng Cai has been harassing me. What can I do? Should I obey him? If you don't protect me, who will protect me? Or should I just let my parents' hard work be taken away by others, and just swallow our anger?"
Ma Long sighed deeply. He had felt it these days. The key was that the other party was not restrained in front of him. He couldn't just walk away, and he couldn't beat the other party up. It would be great to be happy, but it wouldn't solve the problem.
"Actually, Ayouyou knows." Sheng Man smiled bitterly. "So she said this was a wedding gift for us, meaning that the relationship has reached a certain point, and even hinting that if I leave you, this friendship will be gone."
Ma Long was stunned, his mind a little unable to keep up. Women's thoughts were too delicate. "Is it necessary?"
"What do you think the heir of the Dullivan family is like?" Sheng Man said helplessly.
"Then Hao-ge..."
"Don't worry about it. Is a person who can bring Tianjing Mech Fighting to the S-Rank competition and win the championship an ordinary person?" Sheng Man said. "This is no longer a simple matter of personal strength, and if she likes someone, she doesn't care about anything else. Actually, we are not the same kind of people, and the gap will become bigger and bigger in the future."
Ma Long was still confused, scratching his head desperately, and suddenly dialed the Sky讯.
Li Hao answered. "What's wrong, Teacher Ma?"
"Hao-ge, I'm sorry..."
"Damn, are you stupid? Why are you talking nonsense to your own brother? Just open your mouth if you have anything to say. Although I don't have much ability, you have a very powerful sister-in-law!" Li Hao said proudly. "I finally realized my dream of living off a woman, oh dear, oh dear, don't pinch me, it hurts... Okay, I won't say it anymore, see you at school."
Ma Long looked at the Sky讯, and then looked at Sheng Man. What could Sheng Man say? "You're so lucky."
"We're so lucky." Looking at Sheng Man's parents, from the initial appreciation of him to now becoming satisfied, Ma Long knew that his happiness had been achieved.
