A roar came from the side, immediately stopping Xiao Tian, who was about to fight back.
He changed his expression and hurriedly looked at the person coming.
Qin Luo and Su Muwan also looked up in tacit understanding.
Then they saw.
The newcomer was dressed in a formal gown, holding an empty wine glass, her face slightly flushed, and she emitted a scent of alcohol.
Qin Luo instantly recognized her identity.
Lin Wanrong, the Lin Family’s Eldest Miss, Xiao Tian’s wife.
Su Muwan’s eyes also lit up with joy: Lin Wanrong! Xiao Tian’s wife! Great!
Finally, she could ease the tense atmosphere!
Xiao Tian seemed accustomed to Lin Wanrong’s insults. Instead, he was the first to notice her alcohol level.
So he immediately walked over with heartache and said, “Wanrong, why did you drink so much?”
The moment he finished speaking.
“Waste!”
Slap!!
Lin Wanrong angrily raised her hand and slapped him.
The force made Xiao Tian’s face sting again.
He kept his head turned, clenching his fists tightly, but soon let go.
Qin Luo was dumbfounded: Bro, can you even endure this?
Su Muwan instantly abandoned her original thought. Right, she forgot this bastard also got slapped like this at home.
And Lin Wanrong clearly wasn’t going to let Xiao Tian off. Instead, she scolded even more fiercely: “Dragon King, Dragon King! Xiao Tian, do you really think you’re the Dragon King of the Dragon King Palace?”
“You’re just a waste! A live-in son-in-law who married into our Lin family!”
“This Su Family ball was supposed to be a perfect opportunity for our Lin family to make connections! But now you’ve ruined it all! Waste!”
Xiao Tian opened his mouth: “…Wife…”
Slap!
Lin Wanrong raised her hand: “Don’t call me wife!”
“But, wife…”
Slap!
“Wi-”
Slap!
“Wanrong…”
Slap!!
Xiao Tian lowered his head, letting Lin Wanrong slap him repeatedly. He changed his address and said humbly in a low voice, “Miss Lin, I didn’t mean to, but those people had ill intentions toward you.”
“Hmph, ill intentions…”
“In this Su Family ball, who could have ill intentions toward me? Do you think everyone is as brain-dead as you are!”
Lin Wanrong sneered mercilessly, wiping the tears of disappointment from her eyes.
Then she looked at Su Muwan. She took a deep breath, walked over, and said apologetically and nervously, “I’m sorry. That waste Xiao Tian offended Miss Su. I know Miss Su previously helped our Lin family secure a ten-million order.”
“Our entire Lin family holds Miss Su in the highest regard.”
“Can you… can you forgive us for not disciplining this waste properly?”
Su Muwan’s emotions calmed slightly. Although she had seen Lin Wanrong slap Xiao Tian in her previous life, seeing it again still felt utterly ridiculous.
So she smiled and said, “I’m not a petty person either. Since Miss Lin has apologized, I won’t pursue it.”
“Miss Lin, we can exchange contact information. If there are more opportunities for cooperation in the future, we can stay in touch.”
Lin Wanrong’s expression brightened with joy. Happiness came too suddenly.
She actually got Su Muwan’s contact information!
This was the greatest fortune of her life!
Meanwhile, Xiao Tian held his cheek and said bitterly, “Wanrong, that ten-million order was something I arranged through connections, not because of the Su family.”
The moment he finished speaking.
Lin Wanrong, who had been about to exchange contact information, suddenly turned pale.
She looked in disbelief at the worthless live-in son-in-law: “You… you waste! How dare you spout such nonsense in front of Miss Su!”
She had only just gotten the chance to exchange contact information with Su Muwan, but with Xiao Tian’s one sentence, she had certainly offended Miss Su.
Thus, the contact exchange was definitely off. What a useless waste who ruined everything!
She put away her phone and walked angrily toward Xiao Tian.
And Su Muwan, who had been one step away from exchanging contact information, froze. She looked at Lin Wanrong’s withdrawn phone: “Uh…”
The next second.
Slap!
“Waste!!”
Lin Wanrong raised her hand and slapped him. A tear fell from her eye, and her voice choked with disappointment: “That ten million was all Miss Su’s effort. What does it have to do with you, a lazy waste who stays home all day!”
“Waste!”
At this moment, Qin Luo also stepped forward, fulfilling his duty as a loyal lackey. He first looked at Xiao Tian with contempt.
Then he sneered, “A waste is a waste. Miss Lin, having such a live-in waste must be exhausting for you.”
“If possible, Miss Lin should divorce this waste, to avoid affecting the family’s interests!”
As his voice fell.
Another flattering voice came: “Mr. Qin is right. I’ve mentioned this to my Wanrong many times, but her grandfather just won’t agree!”
“He insists that the engagement between Xiao Tian and Wanrong was set by the previous Dragon King. Isn’t that nonsense!”
Qin Luo looked over. A woman who looked like an older version of Lin Wanrong walked over. It was Lin Wanrong’s mother, Liu Li.
“Mom…”
Lin Wanrong tugged at Liu Li, signaling her not to mention such things in front of Xiao Tian.
Xiao Tian also stared in disbelief. He looked at Liu Li: “Mom…”
“Shut up, waste! How dare you call me mom?”
Slap!
Liu Li, disgusted and angry that Xiao Tian dared to call her mom, raised her hand and slapped him.
This slap also made the audience, who had been watching the show, unable to help but mock.
“An insignificant live-in son-in-law of the Lin family dares to put on airs in front of Eldest Miss Su. See, this is the consequence.”
“That’s right. Even his own family doesn’t side with this waste. What meaning does he have in living?”
“Indeed, a waste live-in son-in-law calling himself the Dragon King… how ridiculous!”
“Haha, didn’t you hear what he said earlier? That the Lin family’s ten-million order was his doing.”
“Ha ha ha ha! So funny! Everyone knows that order was secured thanks to Eldest Miss Su’s help!”
Xiao Tian’s face was swollen from the slaps, and jeers rang in his ears.
But!!
Two words popped into his mind.
Endurance… !!!
The six-year term hasn’t arrived yet. I must endure!!
So Xiao Tian still clenched his fists and didn’t explode.
Qin Luo blinked a few times.
Sure enough, this is the live-in son-in-law Dragon King plot. This son-in-law is truly worthy of the title!
Just as he was about to continue humiliating him.
“Everyone stop.”
“This is my Su Family’s ball, not a place to handle your family affairs.”
With the indifferent voice, Lin Wanrong’s family finally stopped.
Su Muwan’s heart was already swept by a storm beyond calm.
So tired. Let me die.
She thought that being reincarnated could avoid the death plot, but… she still ended up provoking a Dragon King.
“Young lady is right. My young lady gave your Lin family a ten-million order! And even invited you to the ball! The purpose was to facilitate future cooperation!”
“But the result…”
Qin Luo, playing the role of a good lackey, glared fiercely at Xiao Tian: “The existence of this waste has defiled my young lady’s eyes!”
Lin Wanrong’s face paled, and Liu Li’s figure swayed unsteadily.
Su Muwan lowered her head: Don’t say it, don’t say it.
Xiao Tian said coldly, “A mere dog, bullying others by using its master’s power. When I…”
Slap!
“Shut up, you waste!!”
Lin Wanrong slapped him again, her voice out of control.
Then she bowed to Su Muwan and apologized: “I’m sorry, Miss Su! This ball was our Lin family’s fault. We’ll leave now so as not to disturb everyone. Tomorrow, our Lin family will go to the Su family to apologize!”
With that, she dragged Xiao Tian away in disgrace.
『Ball event completed. Lackey assessment score: S』
『Attribute points earned: 5』
『Title earned: Top lackey!』
And the system notification appeared in Qin Luo’s mind.
He happily walked over to Su Muwan and said loyally, “I have fulfilled my mission, young lady!”
And Su Muwan, looking at her loyal little follower…
Suddenly…
She saw black, her mind went blank, and she fainted from anger.
Ah…
Just… let it be…
“Young lady!”
“Young lady!”
“Young lady!”
