While Huang Qinglong and Wang Xi were speaking, they saw a man and a woman entering the first floor of the restaurant.
As the two walked in, the waiter greeted them with extreme respect, clearly apprehensive about the young man's identity.
The young man was quite handsome, but his face was somewhat pale, clearly because of his indulgent lifestyle.
Beside him was a beautiful girl decked out in branded clothing, carrying a handbag worth fifty to sixty thousand.
"Speak of the devil."
Huang Qinglong gave Wang Xi a light smile and then quickly stepped forward to greet Yang Bo obsequiously, "Young Master Bo."
Yang Bo nodded slightly as a response, but his gaze was very indifferent, clearly indicating that his status was much higher than that of Huang Qinglong.
Huang Qinglong did not mind Yang Bo's attitude, but with a twinkle in his eye, he said, "Young Master Bo, may I have a word in private?"
Yang Bo glanced at Wang Xi and Huang Qinglong for a moment, then turning to Zhang Qian at his side, he said, "Qianqian, you go up first, I'll come up in a bit."
Zhang Qian didn't say much, just obediently nodded, "Okay."
Just as she was about to turn and go upstairs, Yang Bo called out, "Wait."
"What is it, A'Bo?"
Yang Bo said nothing, and his eyes had a heated stare as he grabbed Zhang Qian's behind firmly before saying, "Alright, go on up."
Zhang Qian's face was flushed with red, not liking the casualness of the gesture at all.
However, since Yang Bo was her current boyfriend, she didn't protest, just felt a little embarrassed,
and then turned to go upstairs.
Once Zhang Qian left, Yang Bo looked at Huang Qinglong with a somewhat playful smile, "Looks like you've been bullied today?"
Yang Bo could see the injury on Huang Qinglong and knew that he came to seek his help.
"Not really bullied by Young Master Bo, but hit by an arrogant kid," Huang Qinglong said with a wry smile.
"Don't you know how to handle it yourself?"
"If I could've handled it myself, I wouldn't have come to Young Master Bo."
"Explain in detail."
"That kid seems to be somewhat related to Hong Gang. He hit me just now, and I didn't dare to fight back, as you know, our Huang Family is far behind the Hong Family."
"So? Why should I step in for you?"
"Young Master Bo, that's not what he meant."
"Then what is it?"
"It's like this, Young Master Bo, the person who hurt Brother Huang is the friend of the unlucky fellow from whom you snatched the girlfriend!"
"Is that so?"
A cold smile curled up at the corner of Yang Bo's mouth.
He was particularly fond of the act of stealing someone else's partner, and, naturally, he enjoyed even more the feeling of pushing someone into the abyss, forcing them to watch helplessly and do nothing!
Actually, Yang Bo and Zhang Qian didn't know each other, but once, while he was driving a sports car, he accidentally hit Zhang Qian.
After getting out of the car and seeing Zhang Qian for the first time, he took a liking to her.
He had been with many women, but the figure of Zhang Qian was among the best he had seen.
Through this matter, the two became acquainted. Gradually, Yang Bo kept asking Zhang Qian out, to dine, to watch movies, to hang out at bars.
Over time, Zhang Qian felt that Yang Bo was not only handsome and wealthy but also had powerful connections. Almost everywhere they went, someone would call out "Young Master Bo."
Gradually, Zhang Qian lost herself in this dazzling, intoxicating world.
Just last week, she agreed to be Yang Bo's girlfriend, but she had no idea that she was nothing more than a plaything to him!
Glancing at Wang Xi and Huang Qinglong, Yang Bo's lips curled into a mocking, cold sneer, "I can help you with this matter."
Wang Xi and Huang Qinglong exchanged glances. As long as Yang Bo agreed, that guy named Lin Mo was doomed today!
In his heart, Yang Bo sneered. In fact, he had already had Zhang Qian's body, but she was unwilling to try any other positions.
So, he planned to thoroughly humiliate Xu Fei soon, to make him give up completely and let Zhang Qian's feelings of guilt go away completely.
That way, unlocking other positions would be a cinch!
At the same moment, Zhang Qian had just arrived at the second floor of the restaurant, preparing to find a seat when her gaze suddenly froze.
Xu Fei's expression also stiffened. He hadn't expected to run into Zhang Qian.
Zhang Qian slightly opened her mouth, wanting to say something but eventually holding back. Yet from her eyes, one could easily see her guilt and apology.
Xu Fei's face looked even worse. His high school sweetheart, his girlfriend, had changed drastically.
Whether in her dress or her getup, she was not the same person!
If Zhang Qian used to be just an ordinary girl, she now seemed no different than those girls who frequented nightclubs and high society.
Taking a deep breath, Zhang Qian prepared to turn around, but Xu Fei clenched his fist and couldn't help but exclaim, "Shouldn't we talk things out between us?"
"I... I have nothing to discuss with you."
Zhang Qian's face showed turmoil, filled with even more guilt.
Now, she simply didn't dare to face Xu Fei directly. Whatever the reason for their breakup, she was the one at fault.
Because she was already with another man before they had even broken up!
In reality, Zhang Qian still had feelings for Xu Fei, but she thought that affection was not love.
What she wanted was that intense, fervent feeling, and Yang Bo happened to be able to give her everything she desired, whether it was money, status, or social circles.
Especially when she went out with Yang Bo, that feeling of being high above the rest made her deeply intoxicated and unable to extricate herself.
"He's right, we really should have a proper talk."
Zhang Qian had just turned around when she bumped into Yang Bo.
"Ah Bo, you..."
Zhang Qian was startled, but Yang Bo patted her shoulder and said with a cultured smile, "Qianqian, we've been together for a week now. It's time to be honest with your ex-boyfriend. I really should apologize to him properly today."
Zhang Qian hadn't expected Yang Bo to be willing to lower himself to apologize to Xu Fei proactively. This generosity made her feel even more certain that she had chosen the right person.
Standing behind Yang Bo, Wang Xi and Huang Qinglong exchanged a look and couldn't help but sneer.
An apology? Does a nobody like Xu Fei in Imperial City even deserve an apology from Yang Bo? Who does he think he is!
However, Zhang Qian was too naive, utterly unaware of Yang Bo's intentions.
Xu Fei watched the man who had stolen his girlfriend approaching him step by step, clenching his fists tightly, his heart aching even more.
Lin Mo, meanwhile, continued his meal with extreme calmness, watching indifferently as Yang Bo's performance unfolded.
(I'm updating a little late today, and the storyline isn't organized very well, maybe I'll do three chapters. If I'm in better shape tomorrow, expect a burst of 8 or even 10 chapters.)
