Chapter 54: Chapter 52: You’re Dead Wang Zhongjun quickly walked up to Xiao Tian and Yu Ningxue, with an air of superiority.
But he clearly misread the situation, as Xiao Tian and Yu Ningxue simply ignored him.
"Master Beauty, this one’s not bad, give it a try."
Xiao Tian picked up a serving tray full of caviar.
Yu Ningxue elegantly took a small spoonful and then nodded in approval, saying to Xiao Tian, "Indeed, it’s good. You should try this too."
Yu Ningxue handed her tray to Xiao Tian, which had a sea cucumber with bite marks on it.
Xiao Tian didn’t mind at all, and after taking it, he swept the sea cucumber into his mouth, chewing as he said, "Hmm, the food here is indeed good. It seems the rumors were true; they really do ship the ingredients from the source."
This scene made Wang Zhongjun’s eyes turn red with rage, as his anger boiled over.
As for the people around, they were all shocked as they watched Xiao Tian and Yu Ningxue.
Suppressing his anger, Wang Zhongjun didn’t acknowledge Xiao Tian but forced a smile uglier than a cry, and said to Yu Ningxue self-assuredly, "Hello, after the reception, may I invite you for a cup of coffee?"
Upon hearing this, the socialites and debutantes present looked at Yu Ningxue with eyes full of jealousy.
Although Wang Zhongjun had shown interest in a few of them, none had received his serious attention.
Just earlier, Wang Zhongjun’s responses to their advances were frivolous, even when inviting them, it was blatantly for just bedding.
No one else was treated with the same respect as Yu Ningxue.
Originally, everyone present thought Yu Ningxue would be delighted and immediately agree.
But surprisingly, without even looking up, Yu Ningxue replied, "Not interested."
This answer left Wang Zhongjun stunned on the spot.
And everyone else was equally dumbfounded.
Am I dreaming?
Someone actually dared to refuse an invitation from the legitimate heir of the Wang Family in the capital.
The room was silent, save for Xiao Tian and Yu Ningxue eating, and it stayed silent for a full three minutes.
Once he regained his composure, Wang Zhongjun, though angry, didn’t lose his temper and calmly said, "Beautiful lady, perhaps you didn’t hear me clearly earlier. I am Wang Zhongjun of the Wang Family from the capital. I own 5% of Wang Group’s shares and have several wholly-owned subsidiaries. If you agree to date me, I can transfer a company worth millions to your name immediately."
Hearing Wang Zhongjun’s offer, everyone present felt a wave of envy.
Wang Zhongjun’s meaning was clear; if Yu Ningxue agreed, she would be his girlfriend. While entering the Wang Family’s deep courtyards seemed unlikely, becoming Wang Zhongjun’s mistress was certain.
"Oh, is the Wang Family all that impressive? Just because they have a few companies? Using a popular phrase these days, you’re just a ’nepo baby.’ Without your old man, you’re nothing."
This time, Xiao Tian didn’t wait for Yu Ningxue to refuse, he directly mocked.
On hearing Xiao Tian’s words, the crowd was once again dumbfounded!
Is the Wang Family impressive? Of course, the Wang Family is impressive!
That’s the Wang Family from the capital! One of the Eight Great Houses!
Just with this title alone, Wang Zhongjun’s status could be compared to a regional leader.
Didn’t you see a few people from the Shanghai City Government approach Wang Zhongjun earlier to curry favor?
"Xiao Tian, who do you think you are to call Young Master Wang a ’nepo baby’? Young Master Wang’s talents are not something a country bumpkin like you can compare to!"
At this moment, Shi Cheng jumped out and shouted at Xiao Tian.
However, he didn’t boast for long; when Xiao Tian turned around, gave him just a fleeting glance.
He immediately seemed struck by lightning, stumbling back a few steps.
Just then, Shi Cheng seemed to see mountains of corpses and seas of blood!
That kind of bone-deep fear left him dazed.
The rest didn’t notice Shi Cheng’s odd behavior. Eager to please Wang Zhongjun, they all joined the ranks against Xiao Tian.
"Who do you think you are, daring to talk to Young Master Wang like that?"
"Yeah! Someone like you isn’t even fit to carry Young Master Wang’s chamber pot!"
"I think you’re asking for it, kid!"
A few who usually had an arrogant demeanor had already made calls to summon bodyguards waiting outside the clubhouse.
In no time, a group of black-clad bodyguards surged in through the doorway, a few to a group, clearly showing that several people had called in their guards.
Although these bodyguards weren’t united and didn’t carry weapons, each of them was burly and looked strong.
"Get him!"
"Beat that kid. If anything happens, I’ll take responsibility."
"Hit him!"
Those who called in the bodyguards pointed at Xiao Tian, yelling for the guards to attack him.
With the orders from their masters, the bodyguards charged toward Xiao Tian without hesitation.
Those watching the commotion also stepped aside, sporting smiles as if they were watching a show.
