Su Qingkun was completely dumbfounded. He had thought that after Xue Jingdong showed up, he would teach this stinking beggar a good lesson on my behalf. But I never expected that he's actually college classmates with Su Qingning, and they seem to have a very good relationship!

Su Qingkun instantly panicked. Even though I've managed to connect with the Xue Family of Jinling City, they're still subservient to the Xue Family in Jinhai City. In other words, if I don't apologize today, I'll definitely upset Xue Jingdong. If I piss off this young master of the Xue Family, he could kill me with a flick of his finger! As this thought crossed his mind, Su Qingkun became even more frantic, and the arrogance he had displayed just moments ago vanished without a trace. He looked at Xue Jingdong in terror.

Meanwhile, Su Qingning was equally shocked. I assumed he came to find me so early for revenge. After all, what happened last night made him very unhappy. I never expected him to take my side.

However, Lin Xiao was not at all surprised by the scumbag's reaction. As the old saying goes, one who offers unsolicited kindness is up to no good. Given this scumbag's character, he's clearly not harboring any good intentions.

Xue Jingdong spoke in a cold voice, "What, are you deaf?"

At those words, Su Qingkun shuddered in fear. Then he dropped to his knees directly in front of Su Qingning and stammered, "Qing Ning, I… I was wrong. I… I just lost my mind and said those things. Please, for the sake of our family ties, forgive me, will you?"

Su Qingning looked at Su Qingkun indifferently. "You can go now!"

Su Qingning didn't want to see him, not for a second longer.

Su Qingkun felt a wave of relief, as if granted amnesty. However, he didn't dare to rise rashly, let alone leave. He glanced at Xue Jingdong, his heart pounding with trepidation.

Xue Jingdong was very satisfied with this reaction. This piece of trash didn't just run off. He looked to me first. That proves how much he fears me.

Despite being pleased internally, he barked, "Are you deaf? Didn't you hear what Qing Ning said? Get lost now. If I catch sight of you again, I'll break your damn legs!"

With these words, Su Qingkun shot a grateful look at Xue Jingdong. Then he dashed out of the bar as if fleeing for his life.

"What are you here for?" Su Qingning asked sternly. The events of last night were still vivid in her memory, and Su Qingning had no reason to give Xue Jingdong a warm reception, even if they had been classmates.

Xue Jingdong's whole demeanor changed. He put on a somber expression and sighed deeply. "Qing Ning, I actually came to apologize."

Su Qingning was stunned for a moment, clearly not expecting him to say such a thing.

However, Lin Xiao found it amusing. He looked at Xue Jingdong with a smile and asked, "Young Master Xue, has the sun risen from the west today?"

Xue Jingdong gave a bitter laugh. "Brother Lin, I know you don't believe me. To be honest, I was really angry that Qing Ning married you. After all, I've liked her for so many years. That's why I did those childish things last night. Afterward, on my way home, I did some serious reflection. Yes, I still like Qing Ning to this day, but what's the use of that? She's already married. The only thing I can do now is hope she's happy and finds true happiness. That's why I'm here today to apologize!"

Xue Jingdong spoke with such genuine emotion that it was difficult for Su Qingning and Lin Xiao not to believe him.

But Lin Xiao would have been a fool to believe him. This scumbag is definitely scheming something.

"Young Master Xue, do you even believe that yourself?" Lin Xiao retorted with a cold laugh.

Xue Jingdong nodded repeatedly. "I do, because that's really how I feel. Look, to prove that everything I just said is true, Qing Ning, I'm willing to invest one hundred million in your bar as a sign of my sincerity!"

"There's no need. I'll figure out the situation with the bar myself," Su Qingning said coldly.

Not only did Lin Xiao distrust Xue Jingdong's words, Su Qingning didn't believe him either. How can a bad person change for the better overnight? Heaven only knows what he's really planning.

Xue Jingdong looked at Su Qingning with a pleading gaze. "Qing Ning, please, give me a chance to make things right. Don't worry, I'll only provide the funds; I won't interfere with your management at all."

"There's no need," Su Qingning refused, her tone decisive and cold.

"Why? Qing Ning, why can't you just give me a chance to treat you well?" Xue Jingdong asked, his face a mask of pain.

Su Qingning's voice was firm. "Because there's no need, because I'm already married, and because I don't want my husband to get the wrong idea!"

Hearing Su Qingning be so considerate of that stinking beggar, Xue Jingdong could no longer suppress his rage. It makes me feel so incompetent! Me, the esteemed Young Master of the Jinhai City Xue Family, losing to a stinking beggar!

His eyes, filled with rage, bored into Su Qingning.

Lin Xiao let out a disdainful sneer. "What, dropping the act?"

At these words, Xue Jingdong exploded. "Su Qingning, you fucking bitch! What, does that stinking beggar screw you that good? Son of a bitch! I'm the damn Young Master of the Jinhai City Xue Family! How am I not better than that stinking beggar in every way? Why did you choose him? Why do you protect him?! I fucking humbled myself to beg you, and you're this shameless! Fine! If that's how you want it, I'm making it clear right now, Su Qingning! From now on, you won't have a foothold anywhere in this entire nation! I'll use every connection I have to crush you until you're on your knees before me, begging for mercy like a dog! I, Xue Jingdong, swear—"

SMACK.

A resounding slap cut off his tirade, striking him fiercely across the head and leaving him completely stunned.

When the fiery pain hit him, Xue Jingdong came to his senses. He stared at Lin Xiao with towering fury and bellowed, "Fuck! You stinking beggar, you dare to hit me?"

Lin Xiao looked down at him as if he were an ant, his eyes filled with utter contempt.

"Hit you? You should be grateful my wife is here. Otherwise, for what you just said, I would have made you regret ever being born," Lin Xiao said icily.

"Good. Very good. You've got guts, you stinking beggar. Since that's how it is, don't blame me for what comes next. Soon enough, you'll be the one kneeling before me," Xue Jingdong said venomously.

As he spoke, Xue Jingdong took out his phone.

Su Qingning instantly panicked. Xue Jingdong's background was not to be underestimated. If he really decided to retaliate, Lin Xiao would be in serious trouble. I know he only did it to defend me, but I hate that he resorted to violence. Because he hit him, the situation is now past the point of no return. But no matter how much I dislike it, he is my husband. How can I let him fall into such a dangerous situation?

Seeing Xue Jingdong about to make a call, Su Qingning quickly blurted out, "Xue Jingdong, I apologize on behalf of my husband! As long as you're willing to forgive him, I'll even kneel!"
