Chapter 141 The Banquet Slaps in the Face
Seeing this, Su Jingtong sneered, "Jiang Yang, weren't you so proud? Didn't you think you were so great? Why are you such a coward now? You don't even dare to fart?"
She paused, then emphasized, "Let me tell you, if you don't kneel down and apologize to me today, I guarantee that you'll be treated worse than a dog in the capital!"
Just then, a clear voice came from outside the crowd.
"Who dares to bully my friend?"
Everyone looked in the direction of the sound and saw a woman in a light blue dress walking gracefully towards them.
She was tall and elegant, with a touch of heroism in her eyes; she was Zhou Limin.
Zhou Limin pushed through the crowd and walked straight to Jiang Yang. She looked him up and down and asked with concern, "Jiang Yang, are you alright?"
Then, she turned to look at Su Jingtong and Guo Wei, her eyes filled with coldness: "What are you doing? Are you bullying my friend?"
The wealthy young men who had initially been watching with a detached, spectator's attitude all fell silent, not daring to utter a sound.
The Zhou family is a top-tier family in the capital. If they stomp their feet, the entire capital will tremble.
In front of Zhou Limin, how could they dare to talk so recklessly as before?
Guo Wei felt a chill run down his spine when he saw Zhou Limin's gaze fall on him.
His arrogance vanished almost instantly, replaced by a stiff smile.
"Ms. Zhou...you mean...which friend are you referring to?"
Zhou Limin completely ignored his feigned ignorance.
She walked straight to Jiang Yang's side and said softly, "Jiang Yang is the male companion I specially invited tonight. I didn't expect that such an unpleasant thing would happen here."
Her words were like a thunderclap, exploding in the meeting room.
Guo Wei felt his head go blank with a "buzz".
He never dreamed that Jiang Yang would be able to climb up the Zhou family's towering tree!
If he had known it would turn out like this, he wouldn't have dared to provoke Jiang Yang tonight, even if he had the guts of a bear and the gall of a leopard!
Although the Guo family is somewhat famous in the capital, compared to the Zhou family, they are worlds apart, completely incomparable.
He was just now shouting that he would make sure Jiang Yang never left this door.
Now it seems that he himself is the one who can't get out of this door.
Guo Wei became increasingly frightened as he thought about it, cold sweat began to break out on his forehead, and his back was soaked with sweat.
Seeing Zhou Limin so protective of Jiang Yang, Su Jingtong's anger burned even more fiercely.
Her eyes widened, and she demanded in a shrill voice, "Miss Zhou, what do you mean by this? Why are you getting so close to a country bumpkin? This is completely beneath your dignity!"
"Unbecoming of your status?" Zhou Limin sneered.
"Su Jingtong, I think you're really blind! You have eyes but can't recognize a gem!"
She said bluntly, "How could you not cherish a man like Jiang Yang and still divorce him? I really don't know what to say about you, you're incredibly stupid!"
Su Jingtong was so angry that she was trembling all over.
She had never been humiliated in public like this before!
However, she dared not lash out at Zhou Limin and could only look at Guo Wei with a grim expression.
Guo Wei felt uneasy under her gaze, and his eyes flickered uncertainly.
He certainly didn't want to offend Zhou Limin for Su Jingtong's sake.
Seeing her cowardly appearance, Su Jingtong was immediately furious.
"Guo Wei! Are you even a man? You just stood by and watched me get bullied, and you didn't even dare to utter a sound? Are you even a man?!"
Guo Wei was publicly berated by her, and his face turned extremely ugly.
That brainless idiot actually pushed him into a fire pit!
How could he dare offend the Zhou family?
Thinking of this, he gritted his teeth and growled, "Shut the hell up!"
Su Jingtong was so angry at his shout that she was practically fuming.
She pointed at Guo Wei's nose and cursed, "Guo Wei! You bastard! Are you even a man? If you don't make Jiang Yang kneel down and apologize to me tonight, I'm not done with you!"
Guo Wei looked at her expressionlessly, his eyes filled with disgust.
The reason he chose to date Su Jingtong, a divorced woman, was entirely because he valued the Su family's power and wanted to strengthen his own family through marriage.
He had absolutely no real feelings for Su Jingtong.
But at this moment, he was in a dilemma.
Jiang Yang was, after all, someone brought by Zhou Limin.
Are we really going to completely offend the Zhou family for the sake of that stupid woman, Su Jingtong?
He's not that stupid.
But if he doesn't do this, his marriage alliance with the Su family might fall through.
Guo Wei quickly weighed the pros and cons in his mind, and for a moment he didn't know what to do.
Just then, Zhou Limin spoke up calmly: "Young Master Guo, as far as I know, your Guo family and our Zhou family seem to have quite a few business dealings, right?"
She casually fiddled with her nails and said, "These businesses must bring your Guo family a lot of profit every year, right? Tsk tsk, what if, starting tomorrow, our Zhou family suddenly terminates all cooperation with the Guo family..."
She didn't say anything more, but the threat in her words was obvious.
Guo Wei was struck dumb, his face turning deathly pale instantly.
If the Zhou family really stops cooperating with the Guo family, it will be a catastrophic disaster for the Guo family!
Forget about continuing to make a living in the capital, he probably won't even be able to keep his status as a second-rate family!
Su Jingtong was still angry and didn't catch the hidden meaning in Zhou Limin's words at all.
Seeing that Guo Wei hadn't moved for a while, she became even angrier and pointed at his nose, yelling, "Guo Wei! Are you even a man? I've been bullied, and you're just standing here like a coward?!"
Guo Wei could no longer hold back. He suddenly raised his hand and slapped Su Jingtong hard across the face!
"Shut the hell up! Don't cause me any trouble here!"
Su Jingtong was stunned by the slap.
She covered her burning cheeks and stood there blankly, speechless for a long time.
She never expected that Guo Wei would actually hit her in front of so many people!
It took Su Jingtong more than ten seconds to come to her senses.
She let out a piercing scream and lunged at Guo Wei like a madwoman, scratching and clawing at him.
"Guo Wei! You bastard! You dare hit me? I'll fight you to the death!"
Guo Wei was in pain from her grip, but he didn't dare to really fight back.
If this matter blows up today, he will definitely suffer the consequences.
"Enough! Stop it right now!"
Guo Wei roared and grabbed Su Jingtong's wrist, forcibly dragging her outside.
"Let me go! Guo Wei, you bastard! I'm not finished with you!"
Su Jingtong was still struggling desperately, her screams echoing incessantly.
In the end, Guo Wei forcibly pulled her out of the venue.
A farce will end here.
