Rong Sect slapped Ronghua.
Causing everyone at the banquet to be utterly stunned.
They couldn't understand the purpose behind Rong Sect's action.
"Father! Why did you hit me?!" Ronghua was even more confused, tears welling in his eyes.
"They are my honored guests!!" Rong Sect suddenly roared.
With one sentence, those around suddenly understood Rong Sect's intention.
The Rong Family Patriarch meant that the young man who slapped Young Master Rong, along with the mainland female entrepreneur he was with, were his honored guests!
Although Rong Sect expressed his attitude, it only left those around even more perplexed.
"What?! Father, who do you call an honored guest?! Just based on that loser?!"
Ronghua pointed at Ye Qiu, immediately in disbelief!
In his eyes, Ye Qiu was at most a slightly attractive pretty boy, not even a pretty boy actually, since he wasn't as handsome as himself. Bai Lan, an unmatched beauty, must be blind to fancy him!
Ronghua's question was also the doubt among those around.
This ordinary-looking young man was actually the honored guest of the Rong Family Patriarch?!
Could it be because of the stunning female entrepreneur's presence? But as per the experienced eyes of these wealthy merchants and bigshots, although the female entrepreneur was capable on the mainland, in Hong Kong, the Rong Family held a higher status.
Moreover, even if the young man was brought by the female entrepreneur and they had some status, the Rong Family Patriarch's son was publicly humiliated!
Such an enormous disgrace, how could it be covered up just to save face for a mere mainland female entrepreneur?!
After weighing everything, could it be that the honored guest mentioned by the Rong Family Patriarch was this young man?!
Through their analysis, those around widened their eyes again, looking at Ye Qiu with a completely different gaze.
Who exactly was this ordinary-looking young man??
To have the Rong Family Patriarch willing to lose face to please him?!
As everyone was filled with questions, they saw Rong Sect scold Ronghua to be quiet again.
Then in Ronghua's stunned gaze, he walked towards Ye Qiu and Bai Lan with a smiling face.
Rong Sect politely said, "President Bai, it was all due to my son's ignorance, please forgive us."
"President Rong is too kind, it actually wasn't anything important."
Bai Lan politely replied, though she shared the same doubts in her heart.
Bai Lan had met Rong Sect only a few times, and only for some business matters; their relationship wasn't deep, so why was Rong Sect giving her such face?
At this moment, Bai Lan couldn't help but look at Ye Qiu.
Could it be that Rong Sect knew Ye Qiu and was giving him face?
Ye Qiu merely shrugged, indicating he didn't know who this Rong Family Patriarch was.
Truthfully, it was Ye Qiu's first time meeting this Rong Sect, and were it not for Bai Lan, he probably wouldn't have encountered him.
Ye Qiu was also puzzled as to why Rong Sect was being so accommodating to him and Bai Lan.
Nevertheless, you don't punch a smiling face, since he was being friendly, Ye Qiu wouldn't make trouble, and could only wait to see what Rong Sect was planning.
While Ye Qiu and Bai Lan exchanged glances and opinions.
Rong Sect looked at Ye Qiu, with a smiling face, and asked Bai Lan.
"President Bai, is this your boyfriend?"
Bai Lan smiled, nodded, and admitted, "Yes, he's my fiancé, Ye Qiu."
Rong Sect hurriedly extended his hand, saying, "Mr. Ye, a pleasure, indeed you are a talented gentleman!"
Ye Qiu also extended his hand, "Uncle, must say you have keen judgment."
Though Rong Sect's ingratiation was puzzling, his words were rather pleasing to Ye Qiu.
Here, Rong Sect, Ye Qiu, and Bai Lan were having a pleasant conversation.
Beside them, the onlookers were almost exploding with gossip.
No one expected that the Rong Family Patriarch, always the leader in Hong Kong's business world, would so willingly curry favor with this couple.
"Father...!!" Ronghua found it increasingly hard to accept, still wanted to say something.
Rong Sect suddenly turned back, with an icy look, ordering, "Someone, take the Third Young Master home! Until the banquet is over, he is not allowed to come out!!"
With one command, Ronghua was immediately escorted away by the Rong Family guards.
Li Hai and his two brothers exchanged bewildered glances, though they knew Ye Qiu's identity, they didn't expect Ye Qiu's face would be so useful at the Rong Family.
The elders of the Li Family were also bewildered.
They didn't anticipate that a conflict between Ronghua and the Li Hai brothers would be solved by a seemingly inconspicuous young man!
At this point, the Li Family elders were extremely curious about Ye Qiu's identity.
One of the uncles plastered a smile and approached, asking Li Hai, "Li Hai, I heard this young man call you brother earlier, right?"
Li Hai remembered these uncles' cowardly, nasty expressions, feeling disgusted, frowned.
"So what if he did?"
"Then what's his identity, why does it look like Rong Sect is so eager to please him?"
This Li Family uncle was very curious, had he known earlier about Li Hai having such a powerful brother, he wouldn't have been such a coward just now.
"Why should I tell you?"
Li Hai at this point saw through these so-called elders, when you're down they use their elder status to oppress you, but if you have a bit of skill, they quickly want to cozy up and benefit.
This uncle discerned Li Hai's dissatisfaction from his tone, recalling the unpleasantness from earlier, quickly said.
"Oh come on, Li Hai, you are part of the Li Family, since you have such a great brother, you should have told us earlier! Then things wouldn't have gone so badly!"
"Right, right! Hai, we indeed made some mistakes earlier, but you should tell us who this young man is, so we can properly host him next time, having a good relationship with him means the Rong Family can't easily trouble us Li Family!"
Another uncle added, leaning in.
Soon, the entire Li Family crowded around, curious about who this Brother Ye of Li Hai was.
"The Demon King Ye Qiu! He's Huaxia's Soldier King Ye Qiu! The very talk from the family meeting a few days ago!"
Li Hai finally couldn't bear these uncles' pestering and had to speak the truth.
"What?! That's the Demon King! No wonder! Really no wonder!!"
Upon hearing Li Hai's answer, the Li Family was utterly shocked, finally understanding why Rong Sect would give so much face to this ordinary-looking young man.
"Li Hai, you three brothers have really done a great deed this time! You know such a great figure! And have such a good relationship! Our Li Family is truly about to thrive!!"
At once, the Li Family elders changed their attitude by 180 degrees toward Li Hai and his brothers.
Li Hai and his brothers exchanged glances, all smiled, thanks to Brother Ye's influence, their position in the Li Family was newly secured.
