When Sha Baoyu walked into Hall One under Zhao Xiaohui's welcome, the first thing he saw was Zhao Ruilong's fawning smile.
“Young Master Sha! I failed to recognize the greatness of Mount Tai, and I hope you can forgive my ignorance.”
……
……
Zhao Xiaohui was worried that her younger brother wouldn't be able to let go of his playboy demeanor, but his current attitude was surprisingly sincere.
Nodding secretly, she thought, this child can be taught.
In fact, she had no idea that Zhao Ruilong had already fallen into a frenzied personal worship of Sha Baoyu.
Enjoying power, believing in power, idolizing power.
The immensely wealthy Sha Baoyu exuded a hint of dominance even in his low-key demeanor, effortlessly suppressing others with an air of authority that left no room for resistance.
This was the true demeanor of a scion from a prestigious family.
In comparison, she felt like a nouveau riche, constantly competing and acting like a complete fool.
A playboy should be like Sha Baoyu.
Hiding in a corner of the room, Hou Liangping was utterly dumbfounded by the scene before him.
Is this really the arrogant and overbearing number one young master of Jingzhou?
Zhao Ruilong was humbly trailing behind Sha Baoyu, resembling a bobbing and wagging lapdog.
You really are a dog, even more of a sycophant than I am.
Though he didn't know exactly what had happened to cause such a drastic change in Zhao Ruilong,
Hou Liangping was certain of one thing: he was finished.
“Young Master Sha, here’s a towel to dry your hands.”
“Young Master Sha, please have a seat.”
They say sincerity is a killer move.
Seeing Zhao Ruilong's attitude, Sha Baoyu and Qi Tongwei exchanged glances, feeling quite unfamiliar with the situation.
Zhao Ruilong suddenly noticed Hou Liangping hiding to the side and immediately revealed a fierce expression, grabbing him by the collar and dragging him in front of Sha Baoyu.
He kicked Hou Liangping's leg without hesitation.
With a thud, Hou Liangping knelt before Sha Baoyu.
“Young Master Sha, I was indeed rude and disrespectful to you before, which was completely uncalled for.
However, the subsequent events were all this kid's bad ideas.”
Hou Liangping struggled to get up, but Zhao Ruilong mistook his actions as an attempt to harm Sha Baoyu, pressing his entire weight down on him.
Humiliation; at this moment, Hou Liangping felt an unimaginable level of disgrace.
From the moment he knelt before Zhong Xiaoe, he had already given up his dignity as a man.
Then he willingly became a dog for Zhao Ruilong.
Though it was for his own future, he also wanted to compete with Sha Baoyu.
He just wanted to prove to Zhong Xiaoe that he was no worse than Sha Baoyu.
Kneeling before Zhong Xiaoe, kneeling before Zhao Ruilong, he could even accept kneeling before Qi Tongwei.
But kneeling before Sha Baoyu, whom he considered his rival, brought him endless humiliation.
“Why? Why? I refuse to accept this!”
With red eyes, Hou Liangping stared fiercely at Sha Baoyu, his gaze flickering with hatred that was chilling.
Sha Baoyu lacked interest; such a Hou Liangping didn't even qualify for him to glance at.
“Could it be that Zhao Xuejie invited me here just to see this?”
He looked at Zhao Xiaohui with a half-smile, giving her one last chance to explain.
The atmosphere in the room instantly became tense.
“Baoyu, don’t misunderstand. Ruilong is used to being arrogant and overbearing, and he acted out of line for no reason.
He accepts his punishment, and as his sister, I have no objections.
But as his senior, may I ask you to forgive him this once?”
Zhao Xiaohui leaned against Sha Baoyu, looking pitiful and helpless.
Seeing the poised Zhao Xiaohui act so demurely, Sha Baoyu felt an inexplicable sense of accomplishment.
“Baoyu, you are magnanimous.”
He could feel the fragrance of the woman beside him, like a gentle spring breeze, refreshing and moist.
“Xuejie's eloquence truly puts me to shame.”
Finally, a smile appeared at the corner of Sha Baoyu's mouth.
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone in the room, except for Hou Liangping, revealed genuine smiles.
Zhao Xiaohui exchanged a glance with Zhao Ruilong and directly kicked Hou Liangping out of the private room.
This tool of his had lost all value, and staying here would only be a nuisance.
“Baoyu, you truly deserve to be the number one young master in the capital; your generosity is unmatched.”
In an instant, everyone surrounded Sha Baoyu, showering him with heartfelt flattery.
“Baoyu, since you’ve given your sister face, I can’t be ungrateful. Since Ruilong has made a mistake, he must be punished. So, on behalf of Ruilong, I’ll drink three cups.”
Zhao Xiaohui took the opportunity and directly downed three cups of liquor.
Feeling slightly tipsy, her cheeks flushed as she leaned against Sha Baoyu.
“Sister, are you okay?”
Seeing his sister working so hard for him, Zhao Ruilong felt pained and was about to step forward to support her.
“You get the hell out of here.”
Zhao Xiaohui blocked Sha Baoyu's view and fiercely pushed her brother away.
Zhao Ruilong, you really didn’t bring any brains with you.
