Pretending To Be A Boss

Qiao Shanshan was not a woman arranged by her, but one Tang Xian found on his own; since she couldn't persuade him otherwise, she had accepted it.

Where would it be someone else's turn to make remarks?

"My name is Li Xiaoyu. I'm not a 'little demoness,'" Li Xiaoyu's tone was very calm.

Tang Xian shook his head.

Li Xiaoyu was a bit of a fool, although not so foolish as to want to kill someone's entire family over a single insult.

But still, those who bullied Li Xiaoyu ended up somehow not quite right afterward.

Wang Yuan was originally in shock, racked with annoyance, anger, pain, and a whirlwind of other complex emotions.

But upon hearing the three words "Li Xiaoyu," a sudden realization came over him.

"Don't you want to see her phone? If you want to look at it, do it quickly, otherwise you'll miss the chance," Li Xiaoyu said.

With a tone both calm and serious, Wang Yuan clenched his teeth and said:

"I acted rashly just now, and I didn't recognize someone important right in front of my eyes. Brother, could you please say a good word to your niece, I, Wang Yuan, will remember this incident and will come to apologize and make it up to you another day."

No matter how fierce someone was, it was well understood within the Pyramid that the three top families could not be offended.

The contributions of the Li family to the Huaxia Fortress were so significant that many, like Wang Yuan, held the Li family in awe. Wang Yuan had also admired from the bottom of his heart those from the Li family who sacrificed their lives for humanity in the mining areas.

It was Li Xiaoyu's turn to be stunned; she had never before encountered someone like Wang Yuan.

Wang Yuan himself should have realized that what Tang Xian said was probably true, that trouble arises from careless talk, and it was indeed this woman's talk that caused trouble, but in such a situation, Wang Yuan still wanted to plead on the woman's behalf.

Her anger subsided somewhat, largely because of the man in front of her.

But who was Tang Xian's niece?

Tang Xian said, "Listen to your uncle, let's just let this one go."

Tang Xian threw in another taunt, making Li Xiaoyu really want to rush over and bite him to death.

Ignoring Li Xiaoyu's fierce look, Tang Xian pulled her away.

Huang Jie originally wanted to say more, just like all trolls who did not feel satisfied unless they fully displayed their malice and folly, as if otherwise, they would have lived in vain.

But the stern look from Wang Yuan shut Huang Jie up.

Wang Yuan, with a grim face, led Huang Jie toward the exit of the gymnasium.

Tang Xian stopped thinking about the incident.

He dragged Li Xiaoyu to another place.

Li Xiaoyu also slowly came back to her senses.

"Why did you stop me?"

"Wang Yuan holds the Li family in high regard, and that is why he was willing to bow his head and admit his mistake. Besides, Huang Jie won't get off easily; it is unlikely she will appear in the Hunter's Circle in the future, so there's no need to go overboard. Wang Yuan is the one who's been cuckolded; you have to leave some right to vent to him, don't you?"

After thinking it over, Li Xiaoyu agreed with him.

Tang Xian pointed toward the grand chandelier where a lavishly dressed group stood, their expressions and eyes carrying an air of frivolous nonchalance.

Li Xiaoyu said:

"That is the Qi Family's team. The one in the middle, grinning like an idiot, that's Qi Xun, their team leader." Find your next adventure on empire

"I thought Qi Xun was an ignorant fool," Tang Xian said.

"Song Que, Qi Xun, my brother, they are all actually experts; they're just not on the list. As for being ignorant, we outsiders don't really know if that's true or not—only people from the Qi Family know. In this world, some like to present themselves as righteous, while others prefer to degrade themselves."

Li Xiaoyu continued:

"The Qi Family cannot be united with us. Our three families have good relations, but at the Hunting Festival, we have always tried our best to compete. For such a big event, the Qi Family and the Song Family have an agreement with our Li Family not to form alliances; otherwise, it would be too unfair to the other side."

"The people behind him are all new faces. Do you recognize them?" Tang Xian said.

"The Qi Family, although the weakest among the three big families, still have no shortage of tricks. Over the years, they've secretly cultivated quite a few experts."

Listening to Li Xiaoyu, Tang Xian nodded and said:

"Since they are enemies, we must be careful. These people behind Qi Xun... they seem troublesome."
