Hidden Master: starting by canceling ten marriage proposals
Chapter 133: In poor health, fight yourself_1
Mr. Qiu clenched his teeth, yet for a moment he didn’t know what to do.
Mr. Heng’s presence here was also beyond his expectation.
"Mr. Heng, you’re throwing quite a weight around!"
From a distance, someone strode over.
Mr. Qiu turned his head for a glance, recognized the face of the newcomer, and his expression immediately brightened, "Uncle Two!"
"Qiu Lichen!"
Mr. Heng frowned slightly and muttered under his breath.
Qiu Lichen was exactly the father of that son of the Qiu Family who had been crippled.
The man who had left the dinner hosted by Lord Long yesterday in displeasure.
"This..."
"Just how many more big shots are going to show up!"
"It’s just a company opening, and they’re making such a big scene."
"My God..."
The crowd was completely speechless.
What exactly was going on?
Just how much face did Yin Tian have that all these usually unseeable people were showing up here one after another.
Qiu Lichen stepped forward, first giving Lord Long a disdainful glance, his gaze then swept past Yin Tian and settled on Mr. Heng, "Mr. Heng, although relations between our two families aren’t that close, they aren’t that distant either. Are you really helping outsiders bully my family?"
"Qiu, you’re not quite right there. I might know Qiu Wu, but when it comes down to relationships, I’m actually a bit closer to my brother Yin."
Brother Yin!
Qiu Lichen’s brows raised.
Mr. Heng’s usual demeanor was something he was clear about—he had never shown such a level of respect to anyone before.
What was going on with Yin Tian, that even someone as arrogant and disrespectful as Mr. Heng was this deferential?
"You know, this matter may seem like a few families from the Su Family trying to suppress the Su Family, but in actuality, it involves an issue between my Qiu Family and the Xia Family."
Qiu Lichen looked at Mr. Heng and said slowly, "I advise you to back off on this, Qiu. Another day I’ll visit your place to see your father, how’s that?"
"No need for a special visit, I’m here."
Another voice sounded.
By now, the crowd was already numb.
No matter who came, they weren’t surprised anymore.
But Qiu Lichen evidently didn’t think so.
His body stiffened, and he slowly turned his head. Upon seeing who had come, his face instantly turned a ghastly white.
The others just blankly stared at the man whose face was also somewhat pale, wondering why upon seeing this person Qiu Lichen appeared as if a mouse had seen a cat.
"Dad."
Mr. Heng called out, revealing the newcomer’s identity.
The hearts of the crowd, who thought nothing could shock them anymore, throbbed violently yet again.
Mr. Heng’s father!
Wasn’t that the mysterious major boss of the club!
Previously, Shang Lin and others had also been at the club, but because it was dimly lit and they were too far, they hadn’t seen Mr. Qiao’s true face.
And today, they finally saw it!
They watched Mr. Qiao ascend the steps at a leisurely pace, as all eyes gathered on him.
And on Qiu Lichen’s face, the previous arrogance had completely vanished.
At this moment, he hung his head low, looking like a child who had done something wrong.
Among all the people present, only Yin Tian remained calm, even waving to Mr. Qiao, "Mr. Qiao, you came too?"
Mr. Qiao...
Mr. Heng’s face changed instantly.
He called Yin "Brother Yin," but Yin called his own father "Mr. Qiao"...
The hierarchy...
It was a bit muddled.
"I’m just here to clean up this mess for you."
Mr. Qiao said with a light smile to Yin Tian, then turned his head to look at Qiu Lichen.
"Mr. Qiao..." 𝓯𝓻𝓮𝙚𝙬𝓮𝙗𝒏𝙤𝒗𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝒐𝓶
As soon Qiu Lichen began to speak, Mr. Qiao abruptly raised his hand and slapped Qiu Lichen’s face.
Smack!
The slap was heavy, nearly sending Qiu Lichen tumbling down the steps.
No one expected Mr. Qiao to strike the moment he spoke, let alone hit Qiu Lichen!
Qiu Lichen, his face swollen, kept his head down, not daring to utter a word.
"Sigh... I still have some injuries, can’t put in too much strength, you do it."
Mr. Qiao stood in front of Qiu Lichen, speaking slowly.
Qiu Lichen’s gaze shifted, yet he remained immobile.
"What? You don’t want to?"
A mocking expression appeared on Mr. Qiao’s face.
Qiu Lichen trembled slightly and then, under the watchful eyes of all present, began to slap his own face!
The sudden twist of events caught everyone off guard.
A core member of the Qiu Family, one of the top powerful families of the provincial city, was slapping himself in front of everyone!
Mr. Qiao, however, paid no more attention to Qiu Lichen, but turned to Yin Tian with a light smile, and then his gaze swept over the gifts brought by Shang Qian and the others.
"Who brought these gifts?"
At these words, the faces of Shang Qian and the others immediately changed.
Hadn’t they just seen Qiu Lichen, standing to the side, start slapping his own face at just one word from Mr. Qiao?
At that moment, several of them wished they could find a hole to crawl into, to not appear before Mr. Qiao.
Yin Tian obviously didn’t care about this, and with a simple gesture of his hand, pointed toward the pale, despairing Shang Qian and the others, "These guys."
"Very well!"
Mr. Qiao nodded emotionlessly and then turned to Shang Qian and the others, "Is this how your families teach you? Someone opens a company and you send them clocks?"
Shang Qian and the others shook uncontrollably, their legs trembling so badly that they could hardly stand.
