The butler struggled to sit up and coughed out a mouthful of scarlet saliva. While pointing at me in shock, his face was filled with disbelief and fear, just like the old woman’s expression, “You. . . you. . .”
“What about me?” I smiled hideously, “Is this what your master taught you? Didn’t he tell you that it’s very impolite to point at a distinguished guest with your index finger?”
Seeing me taking the first two steps forward, and there was a sign that I would raise my leg and kick him, the butler surnamed Gao’s face instantly changed and he immediately pulled his hand back. It was understandable why he would be scared. Not knowing my background, even if I hit him, he would not dare to do anything to offend me, “dear distinguished guest, did I do something wrong?”
Was this guy stupid or something? Couldn’t he tell that I was being sarcastic? And he even still used an innocent tone to ask me what he did wrong? With this kind of intelligence, how did he become the bustler of this manor? He was even stupider than those third-rate security guards. Or maybe all rich people were retarded?
These words were like adding fuel to the fire, making me even angrier, “You don’t even know where you did wrong? !”
Guo Xiang was a gentle person and someone who did not like attention. Seeing that more and more onlookers began to gather around, he grabbed my arm and whispered, “Xiao Nan, forget it, even if what he did is not right, we need to show some respect to the owner of this place. . .”
I did not work for him, so why did I need to show him respect? I didn’t even know the person.
A wave of intense anger washed over me, making me unable to think things clearly. I didn’t like Guo Xiang’s cowardice, and said with disdain, “I don’t even know the person, so why do I need to give a shit about giving him some respect!?”
After saying that, I gave the butler a kick in the face. The sight of blood coming out from the butler’s nose immediately caused everyone around to exclaim in shock. It was only then that I came back to my senses. I actually hit the butler of this manor. It was equivalent to openly offend Long Xiaotian. So it would be strange if no one was shocked. As an ordinary man, I had no interaction with Long Xiaotian, of course, I would not be scared of him. But Guo Xiang was doing the real estate business, so if he dared to stand closer to me, it would definitely affect him as well.
Thinking of this, I calmed down completely and apologized to Guo Xiang, “It seems that I can’t meet your friends today, haha.”
Guo Xiang understood what my concerns were. Knowing I didn’t want to cause trouble to him because of my impulse just now, he shook his head and smiled, “That’s different, I’m just not as fast as you, otherwise, I will definitely slap him before you to vent my anger. Hahaha.”
Lao Guo’s legs were still trembling in fear, but he still said this to me, which reminded me of Brother Wei. In this regard, the two of them were quite similar. Both of them lacked courage, but very loyal.
“You. . . you are. . . you. . .” Not knowing it was pain or fear, the butler still couldn’t say anything clearly.
Was I really that scary? The butler’s response was too exaggerated, but I liked it, “You what? Get out of my face! Don’t let me see you again. It will only affect my appetite. If you let me see you again, I will hit you again! ”
If it did not affect them, no one would want to come out and say anything. To those onlookers, it did not matter who was making a fool of themselves, it was all the same. The butler’s face was extremely red, not knowing if it was caused by anger or embarrassment. However, without anyone coming out to defend him, he would not dare to say anything back to me. So he quickly got up from the ground and ran away with a strange expression. He didn’t even give me a resentful look.
This kind of reaction was very unusual, making me feel very strange. Was I really that scary? Why did I scare him that much. This was so strange.
Maybe no one had dared to stop him from bullying other people in the past, so when there was suddenly one, he didn’t know how to react normally? Could it be that he went back to look for the owner of this place and asked the man to stand up for him?
Seeing that it had caused such a big scene, the old woman was completely stunned, “S. . . Sir. . .”
“Elder, I’m fine, this matter has nothing to do with you, I just can’t stand his kind of scum. Go and find the kid, don’t let him run around again,” I wiped my sticky face and asked the young gardener, “Brother, where is the bathroom?”
Hearing me calling him ‘brother’, the young man was a little startled. He then glanced at the butler who rushed into the big house and smiled at me. “In the manor. There is also one behind the manor, but it’s a bit crude. . .”
“There are many people in the manor, I will go to the one behind the manor,” Looking at the magnificent front of the manor, I murmured in a low voice, “a bunch of hypocrites. No matter how high-class it looks, their manners are even worse than ordinary people. Pooh!”
Not only the gardener, Guo Xiang, and Xingyu were also dazed hearing what I said.
Behind the magnificent big manor was a chic garden filled with rockery, fountains, flowers, green lawn, and green pine. Its style was very unique. It seemed to be deliberately designed to create a quiet atmosphere. The garden had just the right amount of neon light, and in the not-so-bright light, there were actually some blurry figures walking in the garden.
The so-called toilet at the back of the house was located next to the servants’ dormitory on the other side of the garden. Therefore, we happened to be going the same way as the old woman. Xingyu and the gardener were holding the old woman and leading the way at the front. Guo Xiang deliberately pulled me back and walked a few steps behind, “Xiao Nan, I’m sorry. . .”
I was dazed and said apologetically, “I should be that one that needs to apologize. I was too impulsive just now. It might cause you to offend the Long family. Based on the butler’s reaction, he probably went back to complain to his employer. If someone from the Long family comes forward later, don’t say anything, lest you get into trouble because of me. I have a way to deal with it.”
Although I said that, this thing actually gave me a headache. Even a butler would bully someone at will, would the Long family be reasonable? Not wanting to cause trouble to Guo Xiang, I could only pretend that I knew how to deal with it. ‘Alas, what should I do later, if I really met someone from the Long family?’
“Nonsense, why do I need to be scared of him? The Long family is my biggest competitor. Even if I don’t offend him, you think their company would not compete with mine? I only have a business relationship with them, and it is purely based on business interests. It is not comparable to our friendship. Not to mention that what you did earlier was the right thing. Even if it was not the right thing, I will be on your side. ” Guo Xiang shook his head and sighed, “What I want to say is not this. I shouldn’t have forced you to come here tonight. I only wanted to drag you into this circle, thinking that you would be able to find a lot of opportunities in this circle. But I failed to realize I was being too subjective. Maybe, this is not the lifestyle you like and the life goal you want to pursue, even I am a bit disgusted with such hypocritical gatherings. . .”
“This shows that you are as kind as I am.”
“Hmm?” Guo Xiang was dazed for a second and then chuckled, “Stop joking. I am trying to tell you a serious thing. So can you be a little bit serious?”
I smiled and said, “I’m serious. I really didn’t plan to know your friend. The reason why I came here with you is that I just didn’t know how to decline your invitation. Now that I am here, I simply just want to have some fun while enjoying the free meal. So don’t think about introducing me to your friends again. Hehe.”
Hearing my explanation, Guo Xiang smiled relievedly. Just when he wanted to say something more, we suddenly heard some noises coming from the front. Looking ahead, there were a dozen people gathering in front of a row of bungalows at the end of the garden. It seemed that there was a dispute, a voice yelling angrily could be heard clearly. And this voice. . . It sounded very familiar to me!
Before I was surprised, the old woman in front of me let out a panic cry and suddenly ran toward the crowd while pleading loudly, “Sir, please don’t beat her, she is just a child!”
Guo Xiang and I were taken aback at the same time. Because the light was too dim and it was a little farther away, we couldn’t see clearly. After listening to the yelling of the old woman, we suddenly realized that the guy in the middle was kicking a kid on the ground!
No matter when I saw this punk, he always made me want to punch him in the face. The veins on my forehead violently twitched. However, before I moved, the young gardener suddenly rushed past the old woman and threw a fierce punch at the white-clothed young master who was kicking the kid. The white-clothed young master staggered into the arms of a glamorous and coquettish noblewoman next to him, causing her to fall backward as well. Fortunately, four or five people around them subconsciously stepped forward to help them. So they didn’t fall to the ground.
I was impressed by the young gardener’s strength. His punch could even send a person flying. With this kind of skill, he looked much more capable than Dong Xiaoye that tigress. . .
“Ku’er! Ku’er, are you okay? Are you injured? Let grandma take a look. . .” The old woman didn’t care about the white-clothed young man. She knelt down on the ground, holding the dirty child in her arms, and distressedly examining her injuries while crying.
“Who? Who hit me? ! Do you know who I am? !” The white-clothed young master was furious. He pushed aside the friends who came to help him and glared at the young gardener angrily. He clearly knew who hit him, but he still wanted to yell deliberately. God knows why he was doing it. But his expression was very fierce.
Next to him was a handsome guy who was not inferior to him, but it was a pity he was also one of those hypocrites who tried to be a gentleman. “You work in the Long family, right? Even if your Young Master Long has to be polite when he sees my elder brother, and you dare to hit him? You don’t want your job?!” He yelled.
The young gardener was not afraid. The slight feeling of inferiority that he gave off in front of the butler earlier seemed to be just my illusion. At this time, he only had a cold face. I suddenly felt that this man’s sharp gaze was extremely inconsistent with his identity. However, what attracted my attention, even more, was the reaction of Guo Xiang and Xingyu. . .
“Zhang. . . Zhang Peiwen? !” When Liu Xingyu saw the young man in white clothes, she froze immediately, and Guo Xiang felt very embarrassed. He didn’t expect to meet his girlfriend’s fiance here. . .
This relationship was really messy. . .
“Liu Xingyu? !” Zhang Peiwen was also taken aback. Then he noticed Guo Xiang. His brows twitched a few times, and the anger in his eyes surpassed jealousy. He sneered and said in a cold voice, “You are here too, Young Master Guo, why are you attending the Long Family’s banquet with her, are you trying to humiliate the Zhang family and the Liu family?”
Guo Xiang had a complicated expression. Even if he and Liu Xingyu were in love with each other, their relationship was not recognized by her family. Moreover, his company was relatively small compared to those two companies. So he couldn’t afford to offend those two companies. He could only grit his teeth and say, “Master Zhang you have misunderstood us, I just met, Xing. . . Miss Liu. . .”
