Zhu Xiangyue looked at Dong Mingshui with a strange expression. He had known Dong Mingshui for a year, and while he was usually arrogant, today he seemed surprisingly timid. Although Zhu Xiangyue was bold, he still had his wits about him. Could it be that this Jiang kid was truly formidable?
Despite his doubts, Zhu Xiangyue felt like an arrow already released; he had made his statement and there was no turning back now. "You were the one who came running to me back then, and now you want to distance yourself? How ridiculous," Zhu Xiangyue said in a low voice.
Dong Mingshui's face burned with shame, but his instincts told him he needed to distance himself from Zhu Xiangyue. He had already offended the person across from him once; he could not afford to do so again.
After sending Dong Mingshui away, Zhu Xiangyue turned his sharp gaze toward Jiang Chen. "If you want me to leave, you'd better have the ability to make it happen. Not everyone has the right to shout at me," Zhu Xiangyue's tone was extremely grim.
As the heir of the Zhu Family, he held a high status in Hangcheng. Jiang Chen's unrestrained insults had made him lose face.
"You should listen to your friend," Jiang Chen said casually, then waved his hand dismissively at Zhu Xiangyue. In that moment, it felt as if Zhu Xiangyue had been slapped hard across the face; he was sent flying like a kite cut loose from its string.
This sudden scene immediately startled everyone in the exhibition hall. Security rushed over to inquire about the situation. However, with Yue Hui on one side and Zhu Xiangyue on the other—both prominent figures in Hangcheng—the security personnel did not dare act recklessly.
Zhu Xiangyue suffered a concussion from Jiang Chen's slap and fell unconscious. His friends were taken aback and quickly tried various methods to revive him, finally managing to bring him back to consciousness.
Half of Zhu Xiangyue's face was swollen, and he looked at Jiang Chen with a mix of fear and anger. "You... how dare you hit me? I'm going to sue you!" Zhu Xiangyue exclaimed indignantly.
"I told you to leave; didn't you hear me? Do I need to repeat myself?" Jiang Chen replied coldly.
"I'm calling my lawyer right now; just wait!" Zhu Xiangyue said, filled with grief and anger.
Jiang Chen shook his head in disbelief. With Guan Waipo and his parents present today, he didn't want any bloodshed during the New Year celebrations. He turned his gaze away, no longer interested in engaging with Zhu Xiangyue.
Supported by several of his friends, Zhu Xiangyue pulled out his phone to call his lawyer. Surprisingly, his legal awareness was quite good; having grown up abroad, he was quick to involve his lawyer whenever necessary.
The onlookers paid little attention; those familiar with Hangcheng's elite knew that the feud between Zhu Xiangyue and Yue Hui had been brewing for years. Today's confrontation was expected.
"Miss Yue really showed no mercy; she left Zhu Xiangyue in this state. The Zhu Family only has him as their heir; they will definitely be furious about this."
"Miss Yue is usually quite composed; it's surprising she resorted to violence this time. She stands to lose both emotionally and logically—I'm curious about her reasoning."
"Perhaps they were pushed too hard. Over the past two years, Zhu Xiangyue has been at odds with Yue Hui at every turn. The suppliers of Raw Stones for Yue's Jewelry, along with many talented designers, have been poached by Zhu Xiangyue. If I were Yue's Jewelry, I would have reached my breaking point long ago."
"Regardless of the circumstances, resorting to violence is wrong. Yue's Jewelry is in serious trouble this time; if things continue like this, they might really be surpassed by Zhu Xiangyue."
