Hearing Ye Qiu's words, Luo Bing, who was originally helpless and aggrieved, seemed to have found an outlet for her emotions. She hugged Ye Qiu tightly and began to sob.

Looking at Luo Bing, who was crying sadly in his arms, Ye Qiu's mood wasn't very good either.

At this moment, the Luo Family members who were already opposed to him being with Luo Bing, looking down on him, were shocked to see Luo Bing hugging Ye Qiu in front of the Ouyang Family, completely ignoring how the Ouyang Family would feel, they were suddenly furious and began to speak out.

"Luo Bing, do you know what you're doing? You're being too selfish, only caring about your feelings and completely disregarding our Luo Family? Do you still consider yourself part of the Luo Family?"

"Yes, Luo Bing, how can you be so selfish, thinking only about yourself? Don't you think even a little about our Luo Family? Look at what you're doing now."

The Luo Family spoke, full of accusations, and then, possibly to please the Ouyang Family and not to anger them, continued: "Also, Luo Bing, say you want happiness for yourself and don't want to be engaged to the Ouyang Family's young master, but at least find someone on par with us, okay? Look at the boy you found, what is he? How is he fit to enter our Luo Family's door?"

"Exactly, Luo Bing, pursuing your own happiness is one thing, and we have nothing to say, but at least find a decent partner. Otherwise, it's not just yourself you're embarrassing but our Luo Family. Don't forget you bear the Luo surname, representing our Luo Family. Finding such a boy, what will others think of us."

Ye Qiu and Luo Bing looked at the people criticizing them. Ye Qiu merely chuckled, while Luo Bing felt both furious and worried and glanced at Ye Qiu. Seeing Ye Qiu not angry, she felt relieved, but there was still a sense of guilt towards Ye Qiu.

She was the one who called him over, and she had been pursuing Ye Qiu without his agreement, so at this moment, she felt she owed Ye Qiu too much.

The ridicule from the Luo Family hadn't ended yet, and the high-ranking members of the Ouyang Family, having watched the scene with cold eyes for a while finally understood what was going on and deeply looked down on Ye Qiu.

"This boy is really thick-skinned. After so much ridicule, he's still standing here, unblushed and unfazed. I really wonder who taught him this shameless spirit."

"Ha, it's only because of such shamelessness that he dares to cling to our Brother Feng's future wife with a poor innately backdoor!"

"I really wonder if the precious daughter of the Luo Family has lost her mind, leaving a high, rich, and handsome man like Brother Feng to be with someone with nothing but a poor status. It's just beyond understanding!"

The words from the Ouyang Family reached Ye Qiu's ears, and he thought to himself, "So the one set for a blind date with Luo Bing was really Ouyang Feng. Now things are interesting."

"Luo Bing, hurry up and come over to apologize to your Grandpa Ouyang Lin. How vulgar it is to hug a man in public."

Luo Guozhang was initially infuriated by Luo Bing, especially seeing Luo Bing embracing Ye Qiu in front of Ouyang Lin. Seeing Ouyang Lin's ugly expression made his heart tighten. The four big families, he could only connect with the Ouyang Family, the other three families wouldn't care about him.

So, seeking development and wanting to latch onto the Ouyang Family, Luo Guozhang revered Ouyang Lin as an ancestor. Seeing Ouyang Lin angry, fearing the possible termination of cooperation, he angrily shouted at Luo Bing.

Luo Bing trembled slightly at seeing her grandfather angry. At that moment, she suddenly felt Ye Qiu's hand around her waist tightening a bit.

Feeling the strong, warm hand on her waist, Luo Bing blushed. But when she saw Ye Qiu's gentle gaze, she calmed down, as if everything would be fine as long as Ye Qiu was there.

Ye Qiu gave Luo Bing a reassuring look and then, looking at everyone who had been mocking him for a long time, smiled slightly and spoke: "Aren't you all tired of speaking? Now let me say something, okay?"

Saying this, Ye Qiu didn't give those people a chance nor look at their disdainful gazes, just spoke: "The Ouyang Family, one of the four big families of Shangjing, truly powerful. Today I've really gained some insight. Truly reflecting a saying, those with money are all damn bastards."

"You—how dare you!"

"Kid, are you looking for death? Watch your words."

As soon as Ye Qiu's words came out, the people from the Ouyang Family were instantly furious and stood out reprimanding him.

Ouyang Lin's face also turned ugly. However, looking at Ye Qiu, he was intrigued as if he had seen Ye Qiu somewhere before.

"I'm presumptuous, looking for death? Tsk, tsk, the Ouyang Family is indeed domineering. Just because I said a few words, you want me dead?"

Ye Qiu sneered, spitting on the ground directly in front of the feet of the talking Ouyang Family members, then coldly said: "You think you're so special, who you want dead will die? I don't believe it, today I said it, try making me die."

The people who had been reprimanding Ye Qiu, disgusted by the spit at their feet, stepped back with anger as they heard Ye Qiu's words, saying in an instant: "Kid, you really don't know the power of our Ouyang Family. Alright, today let's show you if you anger our Ouyang Family, will you still have good fruit to eat or not?"

Saying this, they waved to the four bodyguards closely protecting the Ouyang Family: "Go and cripple this kid's four limbs, then give him a thousand slaps."

The four bodyguards, all dressed in black suits, were brimming with energy, clearly indicating they were skilled.

Indeed, those four bodyguards were individuals Ouyang Lin had spent heavily to hire for his protection.

The four bodyguards glanced at Ouyang Lin and, after receiving his nod, stepped forward to deal with Ye Qiu.

The Luo Family, watching Ye Qiu about to get beaten, were instantly delighted, and no one came out to stop it; in fact, they were quite eager to see Ye Qiu beaten.

The old patriarch of the Luo Family, Luo Guozhang, also squinted at Ye Qiu, not saying a word to stop it. In truth, he was quite dissatisfied with Ye Qiu at the moment.

Meanwhile, Ouyang Lin narrowed his eyes, watching Ye Qiu still poised while facing his four high-paid bodyguards. The thought that Ye Qiu seemed familiar grew stronger, prompting him to reconsider and shout to the four bodyguards about to act: "Don't hit too hard, and don't all act; just two people should suffice to teach him a lesson."

"No need, boss. To deal with this kid, one of us is enough."

Just as the bodyguard finished speaking, Ye Qiu suddenly said: "One person wants to deal with me; you're daydreaming. How about all four of you come at once!"
