Lin Xiao was instantly annoyed. Huang Xingcheng did indeed come from a remarkable background, but in Lin Xiao's eyes, it was nothing but a pile of dog shit.

After all, he was the Dragon Lord. How could he allow some piece of trash to scheme against his wife? Moreover, the man had the audacity to specifically demand his wife drink with him, which was a clear insult to Lin Xiao himself. There was no way he could tolerate such a thing.

"With such a pathetic background, you still have the nerve to brag about it? Aren't you afraid of being laughed out of the room?" Lin Xiao said coldly.

Su Qingning was so angry she could have spat blood. Such an incredible background had been reduced to trash the moment it came from Lin Xiao's mouth. She really couldn't understand where he got the confidence to say such things. What made her even angrier was that she was already trying her best to resolve the situation, yet Lin Xiao was still making more trouble for her. This was just too much.

"Lin Xiao, shut up and apologize to Mr. Huang!" Su Qingning rebuked, her pretty face flushed with anger.

"No, darling, he really is trash. If we're actually comparing backgrounds, I'm stronger than him by a factor of ten thousand!"

Su Qingning was so furious she started to cry. At a time like this, how can he still be bragging? That damned scoundrel!

Huang Xingcheng, however, just sneered disdainfully, clearly mocking Lin Xiao. A filthy beggar, daring to act tough in front of me. This is laughable.

"You filthy beggar, can you brag any harder than that?" Huang Xingcheng asked with a sinister smile.

Seeing Lin Xiao about to speak, Su Qingning quickly interjected, "Mr. Huang, Lin Xiao is an idiot. Please don't stoop to his level. You wanted a drink, didn't you? Please, come inside. All your expenses today are on me!"

Su Qingning didn't want to do this, but she had no choice. She was terrified that Lin Xiao would offend the man and bring a catastrophe down upon them.

Lin Xiao was speechless. "Darling, what are you afraid of him for? Let him pull whatever tricks he has. I want to see who chickens out today!"

Su Qingning glared at Lin Xiao furiously. How can this scoundrel still be bragging at a time like this?

Just as she was about to speak, a displeased voice suddenly reached their ears.

"Huang Xingcheng, you really haven't improved at all, have you? Why don't you try and deal with me as well?"

As she spoke, a beautiful figure appeared before them. Although she was heavily disguised with sunglasses and a face mask, Lin Xiao recognized her at a glance. That's right, it was the superstar Chu Xiangxue.

Su Qingning recognized her as well, and her mood instantly soured. She knew Chu Xiangxue had designs on Lin Xiao and had even explicitly told her she wanted her to divorce him.

Why are there people interested in Lin Xiao everywhere I turn? It's one thing for them all to be devastatingly beautiful, but their backgrounds are all formidable, too.

Huang Xingcheng recognized Chu Xiangxue even before Lin Xiao and Su Qingning did. He knew it was her just from the sound of her voice, even before he saw her. After all, he had known her for quite some time.

Hearing her words, Huang Xingcheng wore an embarrassed smile and said, "Xiang Xue, I wouldn't dare cross you!"

"Then what are you doing?" Chu Xiangxue asked, her tone displeased.

Though her face was hidden, Huang Xingcheng knew Chu Xiangxue was angry. He was angry too, furious that she was protecting this filthy beggar. It was the same at noon, and it was happening again tonight. But he didn't dare lose his temper with Chu Xiangxue.

"Xiang Xue, I'm here for a drink!"

"Then go inside and drink. What's the meaning of causing a scene at the entrance?" Chu Xiangxue said, her tone sharp.

Huang Xingcheng forced a smile. "Fine, I'll go in right now. Xiang Xue, how about you join me?"

"Not interested!" Chu Xiangxue said bluntly.

"Well... okay then!"

Huang Xingcheng shot Lin Xiao a malicious glare before turning and walking toward the bar.

The confrontation had flared up quickly and died down even faster. Yet Su Qingning's heart grew increasingly heavy.

What truly depressed me wasn't that Chu Xiangxue had bailed us out. It was that every time something like this happens, I always have to rely on someone else to resolve the crisis. If only I had a powerful background like theirs, how great would that be? Then, Lin Xiao wouldn't be bullied by them.

As she thought of this, Su Qingning sighed deeply.

"Why are you here?" Lin Xiao asked with a smile.

Chu Xiangxue smiled back. "Of course, to see... if I could get Boss Su to treat me to a drink!"

As she spoke, she took off her sunglasses, revealing a pair of charming, bright eyes to Lin Xiao and Su Qingning.

"Of course," Su Qingning said hurriedly.

No matter what, the woman had just helped her and Lin Xiao. By all standards of reason and courtesy, she owed her a drink. Even though every time Su Qingning saw Chu Xiangxue, she was reminded that she wanted her to divorce Lin Xiao, now was not the time to dwell on such things.

"Then I'll be shameless and take you up on that drink," Chu Xiangxue said with a radiant smile.

Su Qingning quickly gestured. "Miss Chu, please, this way!"

"Lin Xiao, why don't you join us?"

"No thanks, I still have to work. After all, I'm a handsome man who loves his job!"

PFFT.

His remark successfully made Chu Xiangxue laugh, her beautiful eyes sparkling as she looked at him.

"Since that's the case, I won't disturb a handsome work-lover like you!" Chu Xiangxue said with a grin.

As Su Qingning led Chu Xiangxue into the bar, she turned and gave Lin Xiao a coquettish roll of her eyes, as if to say, *I'll deal with you tonight.*

Lin Xiao was left speechless. He turned and went into the security office. He was about to order some takeout. Su Qingning could skip a meal, but he couldn't. He was so hungry his stomach felt like it was stuck to his spine.

As he was browsing on his phone, Huang Xingcheng suddenly pushed the door open and barged in.

"You filthy beggar, I was only giving Xiang Xue some face just now. Did you really think I was going to let you off?"

The man was as arrogant as he could possibly be. That wretched beggar had caused him to lose all his dignity at noon, a debt Huang Xingcheng was naturally determined to repay.

Lin Xiao looked at him as if he were an idiot. "I'd advise you not to court death. If you scram right now, I might just be merciful enough to let you go."

Huang Xingcheng burst into wild laughter. "You filthy beggar, who the hell do you think you are to talk to me like that? Now, get on your knees!"

Looking at this piece of trash who wouldn't give up until he was staring at his own coffin, Lin Xiao simply nodded. He then asked suddenly, "What's your grandfather's name?"

Since this trash kept boasting about his grandfather and the King of the Northern Town, Lin Xiao naturally had to do something about it.

"You filthy beggar, what could you possibly do even if I told you my grandfather's name? Don't tell me you can make my grandfather leave the Immortal Doctor Sect?" Huang Xingcheng demanded with scornful arrogance.

Yes, that was exactly what Lin Xiao had in mind. "That's right. That's exactly what I'm thinking."

"Fine! My grandfather's name is Huang Youde. I'd like to see just how you're going to make my grandfather leave the Immortal Doctor Sect!" Huang Xingcheng said, his voice dripping with conceit.

Lin Xiao shrugged and began dialing a number on his phone.
