"Chief Luo has arrived, and he looks as radiant as ever today."
"Brother Luo, we must have a good drink after the banquet. It's been so long since we last met."
"Chief Luo..."
A series of forced, insincere greetings enveloped the Luo River.
Although they avoided the Luo River like the plague, they still had to show the proper courtesy.
Rich people all care about appearances.
Even if you're cursing in your heart, you still have to keep up a cheerful and talkative demeanor on the surface.
Seeing this scene, Qin Bai felt a pang of sadness, guessing that Luo He must be going through the most difficult time right now.
The once-glorious patriarch of the Luo family has now become involved in this meaningless social interaction.
But...
You really deserve it.
It makes you want to marry off my yandere little girl.
Qin Bai had absolutely no sympathy for it; he had long since thrown that thing away somewhere.
The victor is king, the loser is villain. If I were the one who lost, I would probably be buried alive by now.
That's already more than enough.
He came to accompany Luohe on this journey mainly for the sake of feeling good; a victory wouldn't be perfect if he couldn't see his opponent's downfall.
Especially since that person is Luohe.
Of course, this is only one of the purposes; another is...
"Chief Luo, my father was delayed by something today and was unable to come in person. I hope you will not blame him."
When Luohe saw the person who had arrived, the smile on her face gradually disappeared.
"No, no, it's already a huge honor for me that you, Young Master Li, would come in person."
Qin Bai was speechless upon hearing this; it was rare to hear these wealthy people speak with such barbed and sarcastic remarks.
Luohe genuinely disliked Li Hongbing.
Thinking about it, I can understand. Being forced to abdicate is already hard enough, but being stabbed in the back by a financial backer is just adding insult to injury.
However, what puzzled Qin Bai was how Li Hongbing would control the Luo family.
His father's generation tried to accomplish this by controlling the Luo River, but the results were not very satisfactory.
Although Luo He is ruthless and heartless, his abilities are undeniable, which has led to the Luo family's growing power.
Therefore, those high-ranking officials couldn't sit still and tried every means to restrict the Luo family's development.
This led Luohe to seek a marriage alliance to alleviate pressure within her clan.
Who knew that provoking Qin Bai would not only fail to bring any substantial benefits to the Luo family, but would instead push them directly into the abyss.
Li Hongbing smiled calmly, but a cold glint flashed deep in his eyes.
"Chief Luo, today is your joyous day, you..."
"Pfft~~~"
An inappropriate burst of laughter occurred.
The people around were stunned. How could anyone dare to interrupt such a conversation? Did this person have a death wish?
Li Hongbing raised an eyebrow, looking at Qin Bai a few meters away.
Is there something funny?
"Sorry, sorry, I was a little distracted by the happy occasion. I really didn't expect it. I'm getting old, and I can still have a happy marriage..."
He turned to look at Luohe: "What temperature is it now?"
The onlookers couldn't help but take a step back.
Nothing more.
This bastard is about to launch a sweeping generalization.
You're really something.
People usually start by finding their teammates to garner sympathy when they're hurling insults.
And what do you do? You come up here and start cursing at two people?
What kind of nonsense is this "several times the plum blossoms"? Do you really think Luo He is here to get married?
He's over 70 years old. Even if he marries someone, what's the point of just looking at her?
They're not even needed for trade.
This person has a really sharp tongue.
Luo He glared at him with displeasure, but didn't respond to his words.
Anyway, it's better to watch someone with even more shamelessness than yourself argue with you, since there's someone else on the sidelines.
Li Hongbing scoffed, "Was I wrong to use that word? Resignation is a joyous occasion, a time to lay down the heavy burdens..."
"Stop, stop, stop. Save your speech for those who need it. I'm allergic to PUA." Qin Bai showed him no mercy whatsoever.
Li Hongbing's face immediately darkened. People like him are rarely disobeyed, whether in officialdom or at home.
Qin Bai really hit a nerve today, twice in a row.
Seeing Li Hongbing's humiliated expression, Luo He felt incredibly relieved.
Why do I suddenly find this guy much more pleasing to the eye? It seems that relationships between people really do need to be improved by other people.
Just as he put his hands behind his back and the corners of his mouth were about to turn up in a smile.
Qin Bai suddenly turned his head: "What are you laughing at? He's not talking about you, he's talking about your Luo family now. What's the point of you backing down?"
Everyone was stunned.
Qin Bai went on a killing spree today.
None of them will escape.
Originally, this was the domain of the Yin-Yang School, but now, let's fight openly and honestly. Nobody can follow Feng Chacha's example.
Thankfully, there were no reporters present today, otherwise this confrontation could have become a textbook example.
Qin Bai stepped back and withdrew from the fighting arena: "Come on, the rest is up to you. I've shown you how it's done, so learn from me."
Then he raised his hand between Luohe and Li Hongbing and brought it down heavily.
"Round One!"
An unprecedented and likely unparalleled tournament was established.
A 70-year-old man is facing off against a 20-something young man.
Li Hongbing's mind went completely blank.
This has nothing to do with self-cultivation; after all, that's something you can only bring out when you're facing someone.
But Qin Bai, that bastard, really doesn't do anything right.
