Su Bingtian and the others were startled when they saw Ye Xiaoyun.
The single star and floral emblem on her shoulder were especially dazzling!
“General Ye?”
Su Jiayin gasped.
What woman didn’t know of Ye Xiaoyun?
She was her idol.
Su Jiayin dreamed of becoming an extraordinary woman like Ye Xiaoyun; it was her life’s goal.
At this thought, she couldn’t help but glance at Xiao Changge.
‘I have such lofty ambitions and ideals.
How could I ever be interested in a braggart like him?’
Ye Xiaoyun walked up to Xiao Changge, a hint of pity in her eyes.
“Let him go up!”
she said coolly.
“Yes, ma’am!” the two security guards replied in unison, stepping aside.
“Miss Ye, this…” Bai Qing said, confused.
Xiao Changge had clearly been trying to show off in front of the Su family, which had resulted in this awkward situation.
But she didn’t understand why Miss Ye would help Xiao Changge.
Ye Xiaoyun walked to Xiao Changge’s side and said, “Of the three requests I owe you as compensation, you’ve just used one.”
Understanding dawned on Bai Qing, but she still felt a pang of regret.
She had really wanted to see Xiao Changge utterly humiliated.
Meanwhile, Su Bingtian and his family were utterly horrified.
Xiao Changge knew Ye Xiaoyun?
She was a major general of the Dragon Country!
They couldn’t understand how someone of Xiao Changge’s standing could possibly know her.
Xiao Changge shook his head.
“No need.
If I wanted to, even Asura would have to come down and greet me!”
With that, he dialed Asura’s number.
At his words, both Ye Xiaoyun and Bai Qing raised an eyebrow.
‘Is it physically impossible for this guy to stop bragging?’
What a figure Asura was!
He was a Peak War God.
Even Ye Xiaoyun would have to bow and scrape if she saw him, let alone come down to greet some kid who had just gotten out of a mental hospital.
“Who is this kid?
How dare he make such outrageous claims?”
“If the Asura War God heard this, wouldn’t it provoke Asura’s wrath?”
“This kid is hilarious…”
Many in the crowd sneered at Xiao Changge’s words.
No one believed him in the slightest.
“Then you can just wait here!”
Ye Xiaoyun said coolly, not wasting another breath on Xiao Changge.
‘A man like him wasn’t even worthy of her notice.’
Right now, the most important thing was to hurry and see Asura.
The man of her dreams!
“That guy dared to speak so arrogantly in front of General Ye.
It’s a good thing General Ye didn’t hold it against him.
Otherwise, forget attending the banquet, he probably would have been thrown out!” Su Bingtian snorted coldly.
But it would be a lie to say he wasn’t jealous.
He couldn’t figure out how a nobody like Xiao Changge could know Ye Xiaoyun.
Meanwhile, he himself wouldn’t be qualified to meet Ye Xiaoyun even if he gave everything he had.
And on top of that, Xiao Changge had used his connection to Ye Xiaoyun to get into the birthday banquet.
How could that not leave a bitter taste in his mouth?
“I don’t know how that guy knows General Ye, but judging by her attitude, their relationship seems pretty unremarkable,” Su Jiayin said disdainfully.
Afraid that people would find out they knew Xiao Changge, the father-daughter pair of Su Bingtian and Su Jiayin quickly hurried away.
But upon entering the private room for the birthday banquet, he threw the Thousand-year-old Snow Lotus directly into the trash can.
“Bingtian, that was Changge’s heartfelt gift…” Wang Mei couldn’t help but say.
Su Bingtian snorted coldly.
“You can tell it’s cheap junk from a street stall with one look.
If we gave this to Dad, everyone would probably laugh at us.
I can’t afford to be humiliated like that!”
“Exactly,” Su Jiayin added.
“If a Thousand-year-old Tianshan Snow Lotus were that easy to come by, our family would already be doing business with the Royals.”
Wang Mei could only fall silent.
But not long after they left, a well-dressed, middle-aged man passed by the trash can.
He suddenly smelled something and sniffed the air.
“Dad, what’s wrong?” a young man beside him asked curiously.
“This scent…
is very peculiar!”
The middle-aged man followed the scent to the trash can and quickly discovered the Thousand-year-old Tianshan Snow Lotus.
“This is a Tianshan Snow Lotus, and a thousand-year-old one at that!!!”
He couldn’t stop exclaiming in shock.
“Dad, how is that possible?
How could a Thousand-year-old Tianshan Snow Lotus be thrown in a trash can?” The young man was skeptical.
“I find it strange too, but I was fortunate enough to have seen one once at the Royals’.
There’s no mistaking it.
This color, this scent…
it’s a Thousand-year-old Tianshan Snow Lotus!”
The middle-aged man laughed with excitement.
“The heavens are helping me!
The Royals are looking for new partners in East Sea City.
With this Tianshan Snow Lotus, what’s to stop me from becoming a Royal Merchant?”
