“How could it be Mayor Han’s call?”
“That’s nonsense! If that’s Mayor Han’s call, I’ll livestream eating shit!”
“He’s still putting on a show at a time like this. Once Young Master Han sees through him, this kid is finished.”
“Exactly. He’s just a doctor, yet he thinks he’s a royal physician?”
“…”
Disdainful voices echoed one after another.
Li Tian returned with a darkened face. Upon seeing this scene, he sneered. This kid actually knew Mayor Han? He wanted to see how this kid would be embarrassed later!
Han Haiwen took the phone with a sneer and grumbled, “I don’t care who you are, but you dare impersonate my father. Do you know who my father is? He’s the mayor of the capital. Do you know you’ve broken the law? I’ll give you a choice: I’ll put this on speakerphone, and you’ll loudly apologize to me. Otherwise, I’ll immediately send people to arrest you. You’ll go to jail. This is the only chance I’m giving you, so you’d better grasp it. I advise you not to misjudge yourself!”
Without giving the other party a chance to speak, Han Haiwen directly put the phone on speaker and held it out to everyone, waiting for the person on the other end to apologize. He wanted to humiliate Li Se.
The onlookers looked on with schadenfreude. If an apology really came, Li Se would be utterly disgraced.
“Presumptuous!”
Then, an angry reprimand came from the phone, “Haiwen, I’m your father. No matter how valiant you are right now, I want you to apologize to Doctor Li immediately. Otherwise, you don’t have to come back!”
Beep, beep, beep…
The call was hung up.
The most dreadful thing was the sudden silence in the air.
At this moment, the entire banquet hall fell silent. That voice was very familiar; it sounded like the mayor’s. Others might have found it familiar, but how could Han Haiwen not recognize his father’s voice?
He immediately realized something: Li Se had indeed called his father!
“Li… Doctor Li, I… I apologize. I was blind just now. Uh, can we just let this matter pass?” Han Haiwen looked like he was about to cry. He was quite afraid of his father, so he dared not disobey him.
“It’s good that you know you were wrong. Go to the side. I don’t have time to deal with you.” Li Se waved his hand. After all, this was Mayor Han’s son; one had to consider the connection.
“Thank you!” Han Haiwen immediately slipped away, feeling too ashamed to stay any longer.
Seeing this, Li Tian’s pupils contracted. This guy really knew Mayor Han? But he quickly understood and looked disdainful. He assumed Li Se must have used the Li family’s influence to get to know Mayor Han.
“He claims he doesn’t need the Li family as a backer, yet he’s using them to network with everyone!” Li Tian coldly snorted. He felt it was necessary to inform his father about this.
What had just happened was merely a small interlude. However, because of this incident, these rich young men showed a bit more respect to Li Se.
“Are you here because of Tang Xi?”
Tang Rou’s small foot subtly extended from under the table towards Li Se, and she said with a smile, “Don’t you know that today is the day Tang Xi and Ye Bowen officially announce their relationship? Their wedding was moved up. Give up, you’re not qualified to fight for a woman with Ye Bowen.”
Li Se wasn’t angered by Tang Rou’s words. He directly kicked her foot away and said indifferently, “If you think I’m not as good as Ye Bowen, why don’t you go seduce Ye Bowen? He’s Tang Xi’s fiancé. Wouldn’t seducing him be more exciting?”
Tang Rou winced as her foot was kicked away. “You really don’t know how to cherish a woman. Ye Bowen, you see, even though I might seem perverted, I don’t think much of Ye Bowen. In terms of status and background, you’re inferior to him. However, I think your personal abilities should be stronger than his, especially since you could stay in Tang Xi’s room for several hours to…”
Li Se couldn’t be bothered with Tang Rou, who was constantly trying to tempt him. He simply wasn’t interested in such a pervert.
“You touched me and kissed me yesterday. Do you think I, Tang Rou, am that kind of casual woman?” Tang Rou suddenly said with a cold face.
Li Se knew this woman would bring up yesterday’s events. He looked at Tang Rou and said, “Firstly, I really didn’t know it was you yesterday. Secondly, you entered Tang Xi’s room in the middle of the night, weren’t you prepared? Moreover, you were so proactive. What does it have to do with me!”
Tang Rou snorted, “I don’t care about that. Anyway, my body has been seen, touched, and kissed. You must take responsibility for me. I’m quite perverse. If you don’t take responsibility, I might spread this matter around!”
“Miss Tang, as the eldest daughter of the Tang family, if you spread this, wouldn’t it be even worse for your reputation?” Li Se mocked.
“You yesterday…” Tang Rou suddenly raised her voice.
This voice truly startled Li Se. He quickly lunged at Tang Rou and covered her mouth. This was a crazy woman! Did she really not care about her status as a Tang family daughter?
Everyone had noticed them, but upon seeing them acting so intimately, they quickly shifted their gaze.
Only Han Haiwen looked heartbroken and wronged.
“You really are a pervert!” Li Se said with a cold face. This shameless pervert might not care, but he did.
“What? Are you eager to pounce on me already?” Tang Rou said with a half-smile.
If they were in a secluded place, she might have already locked onto Li Se like an octopus. Even in front of so many people, her delicate, weak, and innocent little hand had already reached towards Li Se’s crotch…
“The main characters are here!”
“It’s Young Master Ye!”
“And his fiancée!”
Just then, someone exclaimed.
Everyone’s attention was drawn to the entrance, so no one noticed Tang Rou’s small actions. Otherwise, their extremely ambiguous posture would have led people to believe they were involved.
Upon hearing this, Li Se quickly broke free from Tang Rou’s embrace and looked towards the entrance.
Ye Bowen walked in, with Tang Xi by his side. However, the two maintained some distance.
“Xi Xi.” Ye Bowen extended his arm, calling Tang Xi’s name with great tenderness and intimacy.
Tang Xi slightly frowned because she had already noticed Li Se. Ye Bowen’s behavior was completely intentional, but with so many people present, she found herself in a dilemma.
