Shu Ye's face turned ugly, but she still tried to argue.
"Not everyone is as despicable as you. I went to consult Sakata Ichiro about Buddhist teachings..."
"Seeking guidance on Buddhism? Does it take all night? Tsk tsk... your discussions on Buddhism are certainly quite in-depth..."
Wang Wei retorted with a double entendre…
"Hmph! What do you know... Buddhist teachings are profound and certainly require in-depth study..."
Sakata Ichiro also said something quite cryptic...
"Yes, it's not just about in-depth discussion, but also about being honest and open with each other; only then can one have a connection with Buddhism..."
Wang Wei pursed his lips and replied…
Shu Ye was completely exasperated. "Aren't you guys going a bit too fast? Can't you at least consider how I, the person involved, feel?"
"What could a poor loser like you possibly know? If you know what's good for you, get lost, or with Sakata Ichiro's abilities, crushing you would be as easy as crushing an ant..."
Shu Ye, arm in arm with Sakata Ichiro, spoke arrogantly, her tone carrying a hint of threat…
"You think you can stand up for the Qiao family? If I leave because of what you said, the Qiao family would probably want to kill you..."
Wang Wei thought that a dying man seeing Lu Zhengguo alive and well would surely make it impossible for him to remain calm. Even if the banquet wasn't canceled, it would become utterly tasteless. Old Master Qiao was probably only thinking about one thing: when would Wang Wei arrive...?
In Mr. Qiao's heart, he would be his last straw...
Shu Ye was just an attendant who came with Sakata Ichiro to freeload a meal. He had offended Old Master Qiao's lifeline, so how could he expect to get away with it?
"Don't you know where you are? How could a poor nobody like you possibly climb the social ladder to the Qiao family? I'm a magnanimous person and won't stoop to your level, but I'm warning you one last time, there's no future for us. Forget about it..."
Shu Ye puffed out her chest, as if to say, "You and I are from two different worlds; you don't deserve to be in the same place as me..."
"Who's making such a racket here? Can't you see this is the Qiao family's residence?"
The old housekeeper came out and was startled when he saw Wang Wei, thinking that this might be the young man that Lu Zhengguo had invited.
But this outfit is a bit hard to look at...
Just as the butler was about to step forward to ask, Shu Ye immediately shouted loudly.
"Hello, you must be from the Qiao family? This is Sakata Ichiro, your invited guest..."
Upon hearing that they were guests, the butler nodded and said...
"Yes, I'm the housekeeper here. Since you're here, please come in..."
Upon hearing the butler's words, Sakata Ichiro and Shu Ye were taken aback, thinking to themselves, "Weren't you here to welcome us? Why are you letting us in by ourselves? How rude!"
If Shu Ye had just gone in obediently at that moment, perhaps nothing would have happened. But he had to kick Wang Wei while he was down…
"Butler, this is my classmate, a penniless good-for-nothing. He actually claims the Qiao family invited him; he's a shameless good-for-nothing..."
After saying this, Shu Ye looked at Wang Wei smugly, thinking to herself, "See? You and I are from different worlds. I can enter the Qiao family, while you don't even deserve to have your name known to the Qiao family..."
Hearing Shu Ye's words, the butler became even more certain that Wang Wei was the young man Lu Zhengguo had invited...
"Were you invited by Old Master Lu?"
The butler asked cautiously…
"Butler, what are you doing? You're not welcoming Master Sakata Ichiro, but you're paying attention to some poor scoundrel. Is this how you treat your guests?"
Upon hearing Shu Ye's words, the butler frowned. He had been the Qiao family's butler for twenty or thirty years, and when had he ever been reprimanded like this?
"Hmph, do I need you to teach me how to do things?"
The butler looked coldly at Shu Ye and asked in return…
This made Shu Ye's breath catch in her throat; she hadn't expected the butler to have such a bad temper...
"Butler, I...I didn't mean that..."
Shu Ye stammered in reply…
"Then what do you mean...?"
The housekeeper gave her no chance to catch her breath and continued to interrogate her…
"Butler, no matter what, I am a guest invited by your Qiao family. Is this how you treat your guests?"
Sakata Ichiro frowned and said, "Shu Ye has been serving him so well, and now she's standing right next to me. How can I tolerate Shu Ye being humiliated?"
"Does the Qiao family have to welcome unwelcome guests?"
The butler countered with a question…
"Butler, what do you mean by this? You're just a doorman, yet you dare to humiliate a guest like this? Aren't you afraid of being punished by Old Master Qiao? I brought something today that can heal Old Master Qiao. If you can't give me a reasonable explanation today, then I'll have to leave. You can explain it to Old Master Qiao yourself..."
Sakata Ichiro said arrogantly…
This startled the butler. After all, these clergy members were invited by Old Master Qiao, and he couldn't afford to offend them too much. However, Wang Wei was also an extremely important person, and he couldn't afford to offend him even more…
After hesitating for a moment, the butler called Old Master Qiao and, having received a clear answer, said to Sakata Ichiro.
"If you're trying to show off with something vague and unrealistic, then you can leave now..."
"What did you say?"
Sakata Ichiro thought he had misheard. He had clearly stated that he had brought something that would benefit Old Master Qiao's health, yet he was still kicked out. Could it be that he had misheard?
"I said you can leave now..."
The butler calmly looked at the two of them and said…
"Leave? What right do you have to leave? Just because of this poor loser?"
Shu Ye screamed, her face filled with disbelief…
"Please respect the guests of the Qiao family, or don't blame me for being impolite..."
The butler had clearly received instructions from the head of the family: whoever it was, he had to protect Wang Wei…
Shu Ye wanted to say something more, but the butler's words startled her back...
Then she turned around and yelled at Sakata Ichiro.
"You promised to take me to the Qiao family's banquet to expand my network, but now you've all been kicked out. What are we going to do?"
Sakata Ichiro was so angry at Shu Ye's words that he trembled. He thought to himself, "Who is responsible for this situation? If it weren't for you targeting Wang Wei, we would have been in jail long ago!"
"Butler, I don't know this woman well. I'm an invited guest. May I go in now?"
Sakata Ichiro shook off Shu Ye and calmly asked the butler…
"certainly…"
The housekeeper also realized that the problem lay with that foolish woman, Shu Ye…
"Sakata, what did you say? You slept with me for free?"
Shu Ye roared in exasperation, spilling out all their dirty laundry from last night, revealing that they had indeed been quite intimate...
“Please be careful with your words, benefactor. This humble monk is a monk; how could I possibly be lustful…”
After saying that, she ignored Shu Ye's flushed face, turned around and walked inside, leaving him standing there...
"Sakata...you bastard, you son of a bitch, you just wait, I'll make you wish you were never born..."
Shu Ye was like a shrew, cursing and swearing...
