Although Huo Tingzhen lowered her voice, Feng Mi, who was walking in front, still heard what she said.
Feng Mi stopped and shouted, "How did you know Wei Chao would get beaten up?"
Chairman Yan, his parents, and Yan Zhuoyan stopped in their tracks.
Huo Tingzhen scoffed, "Bao Yanbai is like an angry lion chasing after Wei Chao, this peacock. Even a blind man could see that Wei Chao would get beaten up."
Feng Mi: "You guys even made a bet."
"What's wrong with making a bet? What's it to you?"
Although Feng Mi looked down on Wei Chao, he still spoke up for him despite his discomfort, "He was beaten up like that, how can you not have any sympathy? You're just making fun of him."
Jian Yu looked at Feng Mi with curiosity, "According to you, we should sympathize with the adulterous couple and criticize Bao Yanbai?"
Bao Yanbai, who had come out earlier, immediately looked over coldly and criticized him.
Who's courting death?
Feng Mi: "That's not what I meant."
"Then why do you say we didn't sympathize with Wei Chao?"
Bao Yanbai's gaze locked onto Feng Mi.
Feng Mi's heart skipped a beat. What was this man doing here?
Weren't we discussing things inside the house?
She didn't want to be resented by this person.
"I mean, under no circumstances should you gamble with people. I'm not sympathizing with Wei Chao or criticizing Bao Yanbai."
Huo Tingzhen curled the corners of his mouth into a wicked smile, "There's nothing we can do, Jian Yu and I are just ordinary people, we like it this way."
Jian Yu nodded in agreement and pulled Huo Tingzhen out with him, analyzing as they walked, "I remember Wei Chao was punched five times in the chest. With Bao Yanbai's strength, Wei Chao would have broken at least a few ribs, and some of the broken ribs might even have pierced his lungs."
"It must have punctured his lung; Wei Chaomeng just coughed up a lot of blood."
He also lost two teeth.
"There were three. One was in my mouth, and then it fell into my clothes."
Those around them, "..."
Bao Yanbai himself didn't know how many teeth Wei Chao had lost. He was in a fit of anger at the time and didn't know his own strength when he started hitting him.
Huo Tingzhen: "Why haven't I seen Miss Ren?"
Jian Yu said, "When Bao Yanbai was chasing and beating Wei Chao, she took advantage of the chaos to run away. Even when her friends called her, she didn't stop."
Huo Tingzhen said, "That Bao Yanbai is really something. When I saw him go into the lounge, I thought that since this was Old Madam Yan's birthday banquet, even if he found out, he wouldn't make a scene and would just handle it privately. But then he chased Wei Chao out, and Wei Chao's chin was already swollen. I thought that since he had already hit someone, he wouldn't do it again in front of Old Madam Yan, but I didn't expect..."
"Anyway, I won. You have to buy me milk tea for a month from now on."
"No problem."
Yan Zhuo looked at Jian Yu and Huo Tingzhen's backs with a complicated expression. "You were with them the whole time. They both found out about Wei Chao and Miss Ren's secret meeting. Didn't you see it?"
If they had seen it, they would have stopped Wei Chao then, and things wouldn't have escalated to this extent.
Yan Shi shook his head. "Feng Mi came to see me halfway through and said a few words. I guess it was around that time that Wei Chao and Miss Ren went to the lounge."
Feng Mi, "..."
She did indeed pester Yan Shi for a while.
Feng Mi said, "When you got back, Jian Yu should have told you about this too! She didn't say a word, not even when she saw Bao Yanbai go in to catch them in the act. Even after things blew up, she still had the nerve to make a bet. How could she possibly care about you?"
He said, "She said it."
Jian Yu did mention it, but only said one sentence: "Your cousin seems to have gone to the lounge alone with a woman, that woman..."
And her fiancé.
Before Jian Yu could finish speaking, Yan's father had him forcibly summoned to a social gathering because of Feng Mi's complaint.
He couldn't stand it anymore, so after a while of socializing, he made an excuse to leave.
I had just sat down when the banquet was almost over.
Then things started to go wrong.
Mr. Yan frowned. "She can also text you."
Yan Shi couldn't help but say, "This isn't Jian Yu's fault, so why are you all fixated on her?"
Father Yan: "What did you say?"
"Everyone knows what kind of person Wei Chao is. He was always attracting women when he was in school. Countless women have come to his door demanding money to get rid of him. It's because his elders have always spoiled him that he's so fearless and dares to mess with anyone. Bao Yanbai has been known for fighting since he was a child, and even the elders in the Bao family can't do anything about him. Wei Chao messed with his fiancée, isn't that just asking for death? The fact that he's only been punished today is clearly too lenient."
Seeing his father getting angry, Yan Zhuo said, "What happened today was indeed Wei Chao's fault. Even if Miss Ren is not Bao Yanbai's fiancée, he shouldn't have done such a thing at Grandma's birthday banquet."
At the time, it was said, "A man who is constantly driven by desire and has no self-discipline deserves to be beaten, which is too lenient."
The words of the Yan brothers were praised by their father and mother.
Father Feng said, "You two brothers are right. If you want to go further, you can't do it without self-discipline."
Upon hearing this, Bao Yanbai put his hands in his pockets and slowly walked out.
The scene fell silent.
The Bao family butler stepped forward and said, "Young Master, the car is ready."
Bao Yanbai strode outside with his long legs.
Bao Yanbai has been training for many years, so he is already faster than the average person. Now, he has deliberately increased his speed, and the butler has to jog to keep up with him.
Chairman Yan didn't know what else to say, so he said to Mr. Feng, "Let's go too!"
He had only taken two steps when the housekeeper rushed over and told him that Old Madam Yan wanted him to come over.
With his sister and brother-in-law there, and his wife also helping out, there's nothing they can't solve.
He wouldn't go and embarrass himself.
Chairman Yan said, "Tell the old lady to let the Wei family handle this themselves."
When Bao Yanbai went out, he saw Jian Yu and Huo Tingzhen get into an extended Rolls-Royce.
He recognized the car; it belonged to Kenneth Fok, a member of the Fok tycoon family.
As soon as Jian Yu and Huo Tingzhen got into the car, Huo Tingzhen started gossiping, completely ignoring the fact that Huo Qizhen already knew what had happened.
"Brother, you don't know, when Wei Chao and Miss Ren went into the furthest lounge, Jian Yu told me that Miss Ren's fiancé would be going in soon, and I didn't believe it. Miss Ren's fiancé was still at the banquet, and the two of them dared to go on a date, how dare they? After Bao Yanbai went in, Jian Yu and I even made a bet. I bet that Wei Chao would get punched, and Jian Yu bet that Wei Chao would be half dead. In the end, Jian Yu won. Wei Chao had already passed out and had to be carried away."
In this kind of situation, one should give face to the old lady, even if not for the monk's sake. At the old lady's birthday banquet, one should at least give her some face and put the matter aside for now.
At most, we'll call over a few elders and discuss it privately.
Since things have already come to this, we might as well maximize our profits.
"Turns out I was wrong. Bao Yanbai isn't actually someone who puts profit first."
