Ye Chen's face was twisted with rage, his eyes fixed on Tang Yu, brimming with venom.
You bastard!
You're dead!
Seeing several bodyguards step in front of him, he charged forward and threw a few punches.
The bodyguards went flying one after another.
Seeing him about to go after Tang Yu, Su Muyue was furious.
She blocked Ye Chen and shouted, "Besides bullying people with your fists, what else can you do?"
Seeing Su Muyue standing in front of him, Ye Chen's eyes blazed with fury, and a murderous glint even flashed in them!
His woman actually dared to protect another man?
Then he quickly came to his senses.
She wasn't protecting Tang Yu.
She was protecting him!
If he lost his temper and punched the Tang bastard to death here, things would get out of hand!
If he wanted to kill this guy, he absolutely couldn't do it in front of so many people!
"Savages will be savages."
"This is outrageous. We live in a society governed by law."
"Just call the police and let them handle it. I refuse to believe he can get away with anything."
"Ugh, if you can't back up your act, don't put on a show. What's there to get all angry about?"
The Su Family members started shouting abuse from the sidelines.
Their attitudes had changed in the blink of an eye.
This guy had been putting on a show all this time.
Turns out the entire feast had been prepared by Young Master Tang.
How could he have the nerve to stand here acting so high and mighty?
How could a man like him ever fight the Tang Family? And he even had the nerve to call himself the Su Family's live-in son-in-law? Was he worthy?
Long Ya knew this wasn't the time to act recklessly, either.
If they really wanted to strike, they couldn't do it in front of so many people.
He hurriedly grabbed Ye Chen.
"Dra... Young Master Ye, don't act rashly. Calm down first."
Then he glared at Wang Defa and shouted, "What does Mingyue Hotel think it's doing? Young Master Ye is holding a birthday banquet for Miss Su, and you dare pull a stunt like this? Do you think I can't shut your hotel down?"
Wang Defa gave a scornful laugh, utterly unconcerned.
"A birthday banquet? Isn't our Young Master Tang the one holding it for Miss Su today?"
"As for you, I haven't taken a single cent from you. What do you have to complain about?"
Long Ya's expression changed at once.
He finally understood why they hadn't accepted his money!
Wang Defa turned to Ye Chen and shouted at him, too.
"Besides, the Tang Family and the Su Family have already joined in marriage."
"This Young Master Ye is the one who has no shame, going after a girl who's already engaged!"
"A dog with a broken spine dares to whimper and bark here? I've lived for decades and never seen anyone so shameless!"
Ye Chen shuddered as the insults rained down on him.
As the Dragon King!
When had anyone ever humiliated him to his face like this?
"Exactly. Have some self-awareness. Clinging on shamelessly is disgusting."
"Well said, President Wang. That's exactly what happened."
"Brilliant, just brilliant."
The Su Family members all chimed in.
Seeing them pile on, Long Ya ground his teeth in fury.
He pointed at the Su Family members and stamped his feet.
"You have the nerve to insult Young Master Ye? Without him, your Su Family would never get that plot of land in the west of the city—not in a million years!"
The Su Family members looked awkward.
Sure, that punk had spent ages taking credit for something that wasn't his.
But hadn't the Su Family really gotten the better end of the deal over that land in the west of the city?
Su Zhongshan's face darkened. He was just about to step forward and say he was willing to return the land to them.
Wang Defa snorted, his expression disdainful.
"What does that plot of land in the west of the city have to do with you? The Su Family got it because our Young Master Tang put in a word."
"If you don't believe me, call and check."
Young Master Tang was a modest man!
So, as his subordinate, Wang Defa had to stand up and make sure Young Master Tang got the credit he deserved!
The moment he said this, Su Zhongshan hurriedly took out his phone and made a call.
"Hello, Director Wang. This is Su Zhongshan. I wanted to ask about that plot of land in the west of the city..."
After a few questions, he got his answer. He looked at Tang Yu gratefully.
"Xiaoyu, on behalf of the Su Family, I want to thank you for helping us out."
Su Muyue looked at Tang Yu with tender affection, too.
This guy...
He'd actually made such a big sacrifice for her in secret?
Well, she could ask him out for a drink again next time.
"What else do you have to say?"
Wang Defa looked at Long Ya and Ye Chen with a cold smile and challenged them.
He'd personally arranged the whole thing. How dare they take credit for it?
Long Ya's face had turned the color of pig liver.
He gave Ye Chen an embarrassed look and said in a low voice, "Dragon King, I have failed you. Please punish me..."
Ye Chen's composure had nearly crumbled completely.
But after his fury peaked, he unexpectedly calmed down!
He took a deep breath. He didn't say anything to Long Ya, but instead looked at Su Muyue.
"Muyue, soon you'll see who the right choice for you really is."
With that, he strode away from the place where he'd suffered such humiliation.
Long Ya hurried after him.
Once they were gone, Wang Defa smugly straightened his hair.
You think you can fight Young Master Tang?
You're not fit to try!
I could wipe the floor with all of you myself!
"All right, the people we don't like have left. Let's get back to celebrating Miss Su's birthday."
Wang Defa clapped his hands and began giving out instructions.
The Su Family members smiled and started celebrating Su Muyue's birthday.
Su Muyue walked over to the cake, closed her eyes, and made a wish.
When she'd finished wishing, everyone began cutting the cake.
She picked up a slice and handed it to Tang Yu, who looked utterly dejected.
"Try this cake. It's pretty good."
"All right."
Tang Yu took the cake and tried a bite. It really was pretty good.
"Thank you for today. This is the happiest birthday I've ever had. I think I'll remember this day for the rest of my life."
Su Muyue smiled brightly at Tang Yu.
She was genuinely happy that Tang Yu had come to her birthday banquet.
"It's nothing. As long as you're happy."
Tang Yu smiled wryly.
"Can you guess what I wished for today?"
Su Muyue looked at Tang Yu, her eyes sparkling.
"What?"
"Don't tell anyone..." Su Muyue deliberately lowered her voice.
She leaned closer, then suddenly kissed Tang Yu on the cheek.
This time, Tang Yu had let his guard down and hadn't dodged.
"OHHHHH!"
Wang Defa saw it and immediately cheered, inwardly thrilled.
Helping Young Master Tang woo a girl had gone damn well this time!
Su Muyue blushed and stuck out her tongue at Tang Yu, then ran off, a little embarrassed.
Tang Yu reached up and touched the spot she'd kissed.
He felt a little conflicted.
After the birthday banquet ended, Tang Yu didn't go home. Instead, he rested in the general manager's office.
"Young Master Tang, are you satisfied with today?"
Wang Defa was still buzzing with excitement over how well he'd done.
My performance today was simply flawless.
"Satisfied." Tang Yu nodded.
He was damn satisfied.
After sizing Wang Defa up from every angle, he decided the man absolutely couldn't stay here any longer.
This guy was a top-tier turncoat. Tang Yu had seriously underestimated him.
So he took a deep breath.
"President Wang, I've been thinking. Working here is wasting your talents."
"As it happens, our family has started a new business in Siberia. Go be the regional manager there. Your salary and bonus will be tripled."
"Young Master Tang, I can't accept that... I only did a little, nothing important."
Wang Defa put on a humble expression, though inside he was bubbling over with joy.
Young Master Tang's a great guy. He's someone you can count on!
"Don't be modest. You've earned this honor. The Tang Family doesn't let its deserving people down. Finish the handover tomorrow and get ready to leave."
Tang Yu patted Wang Defa on the shoulder, then turned and left.
Damn it.
If there's another turncoat like this next time,
I'll send the bastard straight to Syria.
As soon as Tang Yu left, Wang Defa jumped up excitedly.
Damn, another promotion and pay raise!
Overjoyed, he took out his phone and shared the good news in a group chat with his colleagues.
The group was made up of the Tang Family's management team.
"Brothers, helping Young Master Tang woo a girl really pays off."
"I was promoted only a few days ago, and Young Master Tang has already given me another boost."
"Remember, whenever Young Master Tang wants to woo a girl, take the initiative and make things happen. Got it?"
"Anyone who dares to fight Young Master Tang for a woman, crush them! Especially that idiot named Ye Chen!"
After passing on his hard-won advice, Wang Defa smiled faintly.
This uncle can only help you this much!
"Thanks for the tip, President Wang. I get it now."
"Much appreciated."
"Got it. Ye Chen, right?"
Everyone in the group was thrilled, rushing in to learn from him.
