Chapter 150: I Saw You Bullying Him!

An open spear is easy enough to dodge; it is the hidden, underhanded jabs that hurt the most.

Jiang Keqing deliberately began by asking which man in the room was the most handsome. Naturally, everyone’s eyes turned toward Lu Junzhuo.

Lu Junzhuo was known as the Cold-Faced King, and he certainly deserved to be called a handsome man.

But she soon gave her own answer: Tang Zhong was the most handsome.

In other words, in her eyes, Lu Junzhuo did not even make the list.

What a slap in the face!

And not an ordinary slap, either. It was the kind where she slapped you, yet you could not even say she had slapped you—

No matter how shameless Lu Junzhuo might be, he could not leap out and declare, “Jiang Keqing, your taste is horribly wrong! I am the most handsome man here! I am the best-looking man! You have to choose me! Not choosing me is absolutely unacceptable!”

Sure enough, Lu Junzhuo’s expression stiffened. He merely let out a cold snort and said nothing.

When someone bullies you openly and you cannot fight back, the feeling is so infuriating it is enough to make you bleed internally.

That was Jiang Keqing’s style—a mad demoness who swept through life like the wind.

The moment she pointed at Tang Zhong, everyone’s eyes turned strange.

“Who is this kid? He actually got the demoness to give him such an expensive property?”

“Has she taken a fancy to this pretty boy? Jiang Keqing certainly has unusual taste.”

“Anyone who believes her nonsense must have something wrong with their intelligence. She obviously has some special relationship with this fellow named Tang Zhong. If being handsome were enough to earn someone a fortune worth billions, all those male celebrities could stop acting. They might as well work as pretty boys.”

The members of the Red Hawk Society were especially stunned. They had never imagined that the young man they had just voted to exclude would possess such formidable backing.

It seemed that his admission to the society was now unstoppable.

Vice president? That would depend on whether he was willing to accept it himself.

You Mu glared venomously at Tang Zhong, yet his heart suddenly relaxed.

At last, he understood why the demoness had appeared. She had come for this fellow Tang Zhong.

He had also finally figured out Tang Zhong’s background. So the two of them had a rather close relationship.

Then had Jiang Keqing been the one to call Jiang Tao and have him rescue someone from the police station at Jade Maiden Peak?

Everything now had an answer. Jiang Keqing had come to support Tang Zhong.

Originally, You Mu had intended to accept the Red Hawk members while he was there, give Su Shan a vicious slap in the face, and humiliate Tang Zhong, the man he hated most. Instead, he had kicked an iron wall.

Now he was the one being humiliated.

Jiang Keqing waved to Tang Zhong and said shyly, “Handsome little fellow, come here.”

Tang Zhong rose from the sofa and walked over to her.

“Although it is a little embarrassing to ask this the first time we meet—” Jiang Keqing giggled. “I still really want to know your name.”

“Tang Zhong,” Tang Zhong replied. Since this woman enjoyed putting on an act, he might as well play along for a while. After all, she had come from so far away to help him. He ought to accept the favor.

“Wow.” Jiang Keqing looked like a young girl experiencing love for the first time. Clasping her hands over her heart, she exclaimed with shining eyes, “Is your surname Tang, like the Tang Dynasty? And is Zhong the same as in weight? Not only are you handsome, your name is cool and meaningful too. I really like you.”

“—” Tang Zhong was speechless.

Big sister, couldn’t you make it a little less fake?

Jiang Keqing gazed at Tang Zhong with an infatuated expression, as though she had fallen for him at first sight. With a lovestruck smile, she said, “Tang Zhong, you saw it yourself. I bought Splendid Pavilion, but I do not have time to manage it. Could I give Splendid Pavilion to you?”

Tang Zhong hesitated.

This was not an act. He was genuinely hesitating.

He had considered many possibilities, but he had never expected Jiang Keqing to put on such a grand performance, much less give him an entire clubhouse.

This was beyond his plans, and it would have a major impact on the road ahead of him.

He therefore had to be cautious.

As though afraid Tang Zhong would refuse, Jiang Keqing stepped forward, took his arm, and gently swayed it while pleading coquettishly, “Will you? Please? Just accept it, all right? I will not make things troublesome for you. I will find someone to manage it—you only need to come by and take a look whenever you have time. Please? Look, everyone is watching. If you reject me, you will embarrass a young girl like me—”

At that moment, countless people’s entire understanding of the world was overturned.

What was happening to the world?

Someone was giving away a clubhouse worth more than a billion, while the recipient was actually reluctant to accept it.

And the person giving it away was afraid of being refused and had to beg desperately—

Tang Zhong was struck dumb by her referring to herself as a “young girl.” He nodded and said, “All right. I do not have much to do anyway. I can treat it as an opportunity to learn about management.”

“You agreed?” Jiang Keqing cried out.

Then her pretty face flushed, and she spoke shyly. “I am sorry. I was too excited, so I raised my voice a little. I am actually very refined most of the time.”

She turned to Zeng Tianxiang beside her and said, “Why are you still standing there? Go handle the paperwork. I do not care what method you use—the ownership of the clubhouse must be transferred to Tang Zhong today. I will take it over for the same price you sold it to Lame Yu. I will not take advantage of you. If you do not object, I will invest in your next project and take a twenty-percent share. As long as you are not involved in murder, arson, drug trafficking, arms dealing, kidnapping women or children, or any other criminal activity, I have no problem with it.”

Zeng Tianxiang was overjoyed. His tiny eyes, squeezed into that mountain of flesh, nearly sprang out of their sockets.

These days, money and projects were the things in shortest supply. What was truly scarce was connections and the ability to smooth the way.

If Jiang Keqing agreed to participate in his investment projects, who would dare compete with him? Who would dare obstruct him?

How many people had wanted to give them free shares, only to be rejected without ceremony?

How many people had wanted to build a relationship with them, yet never found the opportunity?

But now such a magnificent reward had fallen into his lap.

“This woman—she is more of a man than most men.”

That was the greatest praise Zeng Tianxiang could think of for Jiang Keqing.

Jiang Keqing had been able to raise such storms in the guise of a demoness for so many years precisely because she never allowed innocent people to suffer for the sake of her temperament. On the contrary, she would even make amends afterward.

Otherwise, if all a woman knew was how to hit people and not how to conduct herself, how could she possibly earn anyone’s affection and respect, no matter how powerful her background?

“I will go right now. I will go right now.” Zeng Tianxiang smiled so broadly that his eyes disappeared. “I guarantee it will be settled today. If they cannot finish it, I will at least have the contract drafted first. Once the formal contract is signed, it will be too late for anyone to regret it.”

“What? Are you thinking of going back on your word?” Jiang Keqing asked, giving Zeng Tianxiang a cold glance.

“No, no. Absolutely not.” Cold sweat immediately broke out across Zeng Tianxiang’s forehead. He wiped it repeatedly with a small handkerchief. “I was only speaking hypothetically—I was only using an example. Old Zeng is an honest man. How could I possibly go back on my word? I will draft the contract right now. Immediately. Mr. Tang, please wait a moment. I will come and have you sign it shortly. Once you sign, the contract will be official.”

With that, he hurriedly “rolled” out of the room.

Too many words lead to mistakes. He was afraid that if he said anything else wrong and the woman withdrew her promise, he would be finished.

What did it mean to be a demoness?

A woman whose words you could not believe, yet had no choice but to believe—that was a demoness. Someone whose words you could neither believe nor trust was merely a swindler.

Jiang Keqing clapped her hands and said with a smile, “All right. From now on, Splendid Pavilion belongs to our little Tang Zhong. You must come here often as guests, and help support his business while you are at it. If the annual turnover does not exceed one hundred million—”

“We will definitely come. We definitely will.”

“Yes. All our gatherings and banquets will be held here from now on.”

“Business will certainly flourish.”

Everyone hurried to make promises, unwilling to let the demoness finish the threat that followed.

“That is more like it.” Jiang Keqing cast them a charming glance and giggled.

If they stayed any longer, they would only suffer even greater humiliation.

You Mu walked up to Tang Zhong and sneered, “No wonder you dared to act so arrogantly. So you have a woman backing you. Remember this: my words still stand.”

With that, You Mu turned to leave with his men.

“Wait.” Jiang Keqing called out.

You Mu stopped and watched her warily. “Is there something else?”

Jiang Keqing pointed at Tang Zhong. “You bullied him?”

“Bullied?” You Mu nearly bit through his tongue. With that fool’s explosive temper, who could possibly bully him? He had wanted to bully Tang Zhong, certainly, but the attempt had failed. “I merely asked him to remember something.”

“I saw you bullying him.” Jiang Keqing strode over and slapped him across the face.

Wei Feng, who had been standing beside You Mu all along, hesitated for the briefest moment, and Jiang Keqing seized the opportunity. She was extremely fast, and seemed to have some foundation in taekwondo. An ordinary person truly could not have stopped her.

Afraid that she would continue assaulting You Mu, Wei Feng moved to shield him with his body, but You Mu pushed him aside.

Some things had to be endured alone.

Some slaps had to land on one’s own face before they could truly hurt to the bone.

“I saw you bullying him.” Another slap.

“I saw you bullying him.” That was the third slap.

“Damn your mother! How dare anyone bully the man I like? I—”

Her eyes reddened.

She began to cry.

This was her older sister’s own son. Her nephew. Because of those damned circumstances, he could not return home or even enter the family’s door, and outside he was being bullied by every stray dog and mangy cur.

That was only what she had seen. How much had happened without her knowledge?

If her sister found out, how heartbroken would she be?
