Hearing this awkward Yan Country dialect, a few people looked up and saw a stout middle-aged man standing beside Ye Yuwan.

"I am, but who are you..." Ye Yuwan looked at the man with confusion. This person was quite old; surely he couldn't be here to ask for an autograph or a photo with her? Besides, judging by his accent, he appeared to be a foreigner.

"I am Shanbe Liang. May I have the honor of inviting Miss Ye to lunch?" The middle-aged man's eyes sparkled as he looked at Ye Yuwan.

Ye Yuwan smiled slightly and raised her hand to point at Jiang Chen, saying with deep meaning, "Sorry, I belong to him today!"

Jiang Chen was stunned for a moment, then smiled faintly, feeling he had been pulled in to be a shield again. However, he really had to block this arrow. Not to mention anything else, just because Shanbe Liang was a man from Beihai National, he had to!

Shanbe Liang sized up Jiang Chen with a glance, his eyes displaying a mocking smile, "This gentleman, I am Shanbe Liang from the Shanben Family of Beihai National. May I ask how to address you?"

"Jiang Chen." Jiang Chen spoke indifferently.

Shanbe Liang had been in Dingjing for quite some time and knew quite a bit. A thought ran through his mind—Jiang?... Dingjing didn't seem to have a Jiang family.

"Sir, I wish to invite Miss Ye to lunch together. I suppose you wouldn't mind?" Shanbe Liang took out a silver card from Wanguo Bank from his pocket and placed it in front of Jiang Chen, all the while looking down on Jiang Chen.

"Pfft—"

Ye Yuwan glanced at the card and couldn't help but laugh. Gong Yue wore a face full of disdain as she looked at Shanbe Liang. Xiao Yunna was a bit surprised, however, noticing the expressions on Ye Yuwan and Gong Yue's faces, she immediately turned her head to look at Jiang Chen.

"Waiter!" Jiang Chen ignored Shanbe Liang and turned around to call out.

"Good day to you, sir!"

The waiter returned to Jiang Chen's side, took a look at the silver card on the table, and his eyes slightly brightened. That was a good card, one would need at least tens of millions in assets to qualify for it.

But before his surprise subsided, Jiang Chen took out his own bank card and handed it to the waiter with a light chuckle, "Let's settle the bill, shall we?"

"Wanguo Bank's Black Gold Card?!" The waiter immediately gasped, stunned on the spot.

This card was even better! Only those with assets in the hundreds of millions could qualify for it!

But what about the card on the table?

Xiao Yunna's eyes shone brightly, her face full of shock as she looked at Jiang Chen, finally understanding why Ye Yuwan and Gong Yue looked that way when they saw Shanbe Liang's bank card.

It turned out this was like brandishing a broadsword in front of Guan Gong!

The smile froze on Shanbe Liang's face as he incredulously looked at the Black Gold Card in Jiang Chen's hand, then back to the silver card he had placed on the table, his face immediately turning red with embarrassment, wishing he could just find a hole to crawl into.

Damn! This is so humiliating!

Hurriedly, Shanbe Liang stretched out his hand and silently picked up his silver card.

The waiter snapped out of it, understood what had happened, and smirked, respectfully accepting the Black Gold Card from Jiang Chen's hand, "Please wait a moment, sir."

Afterward, the waiter looked at Shanbe Liang with disdain.

Hmph, this guy actually tried to make a move on the owner of the Black Gold Card's woman?

What a way to make a fool of himself!

And to think, a young, handsome, and wealthy man like that is exactly what beauties are after—the full package!

Rubbish!

Feeling the waiter's disdain, Shanbe Liang could no longer stay put, promptly turned around, and went back to his own table.

Having almost finished eating, Jiang Chen got up and went to the restroom.

Just then, the door to a private room on the second floor opened, and Big Brother Xiong, who had previously clashed with Jiang Chen, walked out.

"Hmm? Ye Yuwan, Gong Yue, Xiao Yunna? How did these three campus beauties end up together?"

As soon as Big Brother Xiong caught sight of Ye Yuwan and the others by the window, his eyes lit up. As the local serpent of the university town, he had a deep understanding of such top-tier beauties and recognized all three of them.

He couldn't help but mutter to himself, "Young Master Ling just got scared and wants me to set up a dinner to calm his nerves... If we had the company of three campus beauties at the feast, that would definitely be more effective, wouldn't it!"

With a smug smile on his lips, Big Brother Xiong headed towards Ye Yuwan and her friends.

"Ye Yuwan, Gong Yue, Xiao Yunna, come with me!" Upon reaching Ye Yuwan and the others, Big Brother Xiong commanded in an authoritative tone.

Gong Yue and her friends gave Big Brother Xiong a glance and slightly frowned.

"Sorry, we're not familiar with you!" Ye Yuwan spoke indifferently.

"Not familiar? Heh heh." Big Brother Xiong sneered with a malevolent smile, "Ye Yuwan, don't think you're something just because you're a celebrity. Aren't celebrities like you supposed to accompany guests? Our young master needs company, and that's why I came to find you. This is your good fortune, I advise you to be sensible, or else... I can't guarantee what will happen to you!"

"Shameless!"

Ye Yuwan cursed and glanced in the direction of the restroom before turning her head away, no longer paying attention to Big Brother Xiong.

The other two beauties also glared at Big Brother Xiong, ignoring him completely.

"Yo, you're refusing the toast only to drink a forfeit later..." Big Brother Xiong glared, ready to explode in anger.

"Bastard!"

Suddenly, an expletive from Beihai National disrupted Big Brother Xiong's speech as Shanben Liang stood up. Seeing Jiang Chen was not around, he wanted to play the hero to save the damsels in distress and attract the beauties' attention.

"Is harassing ladies something a man should do?"

"Little Shanben?" Big Brother Xiong turned his head to glance at Shanben Liang, pointed a finger at him, and said impatiently, "Are you sick of living? Daring to speak up in our territory? Watch it or I'll knock you flat! Get lost!"

Shanben Liang, not a kindhearted man either, sneered coldly, "You're too rude. Please apologize to these ladies!"

"I'm rude your ass!" Big Brother Xiong immediately became furious, grabbed Shanben Liang by the collar, and snarled, "Are you really looking for a beating? Get lost!"

As he spoke, Big Brother Xiong pushed Shanben Liang away and then reached out to grab Ye Yuwan's arm.

"Slap—" Shanben Liang grabbed Big Brother Xiong's wrist and said sternly, "I've said it, be polite to the ladies, you must apologize!"

"I apologize your damn egg!" Big Brother Xiong truly lost it, spun around, and threw a punch at Shanben Liang.

Shanben Liang's eyes flashed with mockery as he clenched his fist and struck out at Big Brother Xiong's fist.

Crack!

"Ah!"

A crisp sound echoed, and Big Brother Xiong howled in agony, clutching his wrist which had been dislocated upon colliding with Shanben Liang's fist!

Ye Yuwan and the two other beauties were stunned; they hadn't expected Shanben Liang to have such a move up his sleeve.

Feeling the surprised gazes of the three beauties, Shanben Liang immediately swelled with pride, his demeanor growing even more arrogant.

"Ah... you, just you wait!"

Big Brother Xiong, his face pale with pain and knowing he was no match, gritted his teeth and threw out a fierce threat, shook off Shanben Liang's hand, and turned to run out the door.
