Chapter 1402: Chapter 1402: An Ingrate
Chu Biyao and her friends couldn’t stop laughing, their laughter like blossoming flowers, captivating and beautiful.
The conversation and conflict between Ye Fan and Sister Zhao, they had naturally learned all about it through their subordinates.
"Sister Zhao has messed up this time, Guan Shaoqiu’s face can’t be saved, I can’t help but feel like singing." A starlet said gloatingly, looking at Guan Shaoqiu’s misfortune, with a look of boundless joy.
Another woman looked at Chu Biyao, her eyes shining, "Your brother-in-law is really something, coming up with the idea of making Guan Shaoqiu the driver to counterattack, it’s brilliant, truly brilliant. No one would dare to say such a thing."
"Him? A few words can infuriate a person to death; it’s just a piece of cake for him," Chu Biyao said proudly, "Just with his indifferent tone and his attitude of not caring about anything, he can already knock you out."
"So impressive. You’re still the best, knowing your brother-in-law so well," someone praised sincerely.
A woman asked curiously, "Sister, do you think your brother-in-law will make things difficult for Guan Shaoqiu?"
"He won’t, such small matters are beneath him; he won’t care about them," Chu Biyao replied confidently.
"Sigh, I kind of wish Mr. Ye could be a little petty and use his position as Guan Shaoqiu’s boss to put pressure on him, that would be nice," someone sighed.
"If Guan Shaoqiu acts up again, will your brother-in-law still remain indifferent?" a woman asked curiously.
"As long as it doesn’t cross his bottom line, he won’t care about irrelevant things," Chu Biyao asserted.
Someone confidently said, "From what I know about Guan Shaoqiu, this matter isn’t over. Getting his offer rejected, losing face, being asked to be a driver, he’ll definitely be angry. Guan Shaoqiu can’t possibly be magnanimous and act like nothing happened; he will definitely stir things up."
"Don’t worry, if Guan Shaoqiu is clueless and behaves arrogantly, there’s no need for my brother-in-law to step in. Those who want to curry favor with my brother-in-law will definitely target Guan Shaoqiu. When it comes to that point, Guan Shaoqiu will be doomed," Chu Biyao said slowly, "I hope it doesn’t come to that, and I hope Guan Shaoqiu has some sense and doesn’t rely on his status to act haughty."
"From your tone, does your brother-in-law’s influence surpass what you’ve revealed to us?" A woman detected something amiss.
"Of course," Chu Biyao boasted proudly.
"What exactly are his positions? Tell us," someone eagerly asked.
Chu Biyao pondered for a moment and then said cautiously, "Guan Shaoqiu’s big boss is the Li Family, and beyond the Li Family, my brother-in-law is the real boss behind the five major families in the Northwest. That’s all you need to know. This is just the tip of the iceberg of my brother-in-law’s identity. I won’t say more. Firstly, I don’t want to scare you, and secondly, it’s inconvenient to reveal too much."
"What? The real boss behind the five major families in the Northwest? And that’s just a tip of numerous identities?"
"My God, is Mr. Ye even human? He’s practically a god."
"An identity this astonishing and extraordinary, yet just a small part of him, is incredibly mysterious."
The women were utterly shocked, each with wide, dumbfounded eyes, and their hearts filled with awe and astonishment.
They didn’t doubt Chu Biyao’s words and immediately characterized Ye Fan as a low-key tycoon.
"Next, there’s some good drama to watch. Guan Shaoqiu won’t let it rest easily, so just as Sister said, those who want to curry favor with Mr. Ye, as long as Guan Shaoqiu acts foolishly, he’ll bring about a big disaster. Let’s wait and see." The women smiled expectantly. Regarding Chu Biyao’s generosity, someone retorted, "If Guan Shaoqiu wants to court death, that’s his fate. You shouldn’t have hopes for him. It’s impossible to expect Guan Shaoqiu to restrain himself."
With turbulent discussions, Chu Biyao and her friends expressed their various opinions from an objective standpoint.
Over on Sister Zhao’s side, her face looked unpleasant, and after hesitating for a moment, she walked up to Guan Shaoqiu and reluctantly said, "Mr. Guan, that person is quite arrogant and completely ignores us. It’s impossible for him to be your double."
Guan Shaoqiu glanced at Sister Zhao’s expression and guessed the outcome, saying nothing extra and waiting for her to speak. After she finished speaking, he then asked, "What did that Martial Artist say?"
"He has no interest at all in being a martial arts double, and he doesn’t even know who Mr. Guan is. It seems genuine, not a pretense," Sister Zhao replied.
"Truly shameless, who does he think he is?" Guan Shaoqiu began to criticize, clearly angry.
Pause, he continued asking, "What else did he say?"
"I offered generous terms and extended an olive branch, and he said... he said?" Sister Zhao hesitated noticeably, unsure if she should speak.
"Speak," Guan Shaoqiu demanded loudly.
"He said he could offer you ample compensation to be his driver," Sister Zhao blurted out.
If she didn’t say it, Guan Shaoqiu wouldn’t be angry, and the situation might not escalate.
However, these words couldn’t be concealed; Guan Shaoqiu could hear about it through other channels, which wasn’t difficult.
So it’s better to tell him outright, to avoid Guan Shaoqiu blaming her for withholding information later.
Of course, Sister Zhao also had her own interests in mind, hoping that if Guan Shaoqiu could really deal with Ye Fan, she would also be happy.
After all, she had lost face in front of Ye Fan, and venting that frustration would naturally be pleasing.
"Driver? Ha, driver."
"Truly audacious, asking me to be a driver. Who would dare say such a thing? But someone actually did, truly not knowing their place."
"Ye Martial Artist, Ye Martial Artist, even if it’s as a driver, damn it, can you afford me?"
"You’ve really gone too far. If I give you face, you’d better show respect, yet you reject it outright, acting so brazenly."
"A mere minor character, worthy of competing with me? Who do you think you are?"
"If I don’t teach you a lesson, you won’t know my strength, so self-important."
"If I don’t give you a sound lesson, you’ll never learn who you cannot provoke."
"I am someone you cannot provoke."
"And someone you cannot afford to provoke."
Guan Shaoqiu was truly angry, his face full of coldness. Ever since becoming famous, he hadn’t suffered such humiliation.
No matter where he went, he was always treated like the center of attention.
He had never been so lightly regarded before.
This was truly intolerable for him.
Without venting this frustration, he felt uneasy all over.
