173: The second young master of the Zhao family has kidney deficiency, do you dare to take action?

The person who entered was dressed in a flashy Versace white suit, his hair slicked back and shiny enough to reflect light like a mirror, and his face wore an arrogant expression that screamed, "I'm the most handsome man in the capital."

Behind him followed two black-clad bodyguards with bulging temples and a heavy aura, clearly ruthless individuals who had seen blood.

Besides them, there was also an influencer-faced girl in a revealing spaghetti-strap short dress, with exquisite makeup, trailing behind him like an expensive accessory.

"Li Xiaodong! Your Hongxing Society certainly puts on quite the airs!"

The young man, with one foot in and one foot out, scanned the room with disdainful eyes, his voice sharp and grating.

"Making Zhao Tianhu wait downstairs for an hour? Are you tired of living and looking for a new place to settle down?"

He was none other than Zhao Tianhu, the only son of Zhao Tianlong, the younger brother of the Zhao family patriarch in the capital.

With his words, the temperature in the private room seemed to drop several degrees.

Li Xiaodong and the several other gang bosses behind him all changed their expressions, their muscles tensing instantly, but no one dared to speak.

The heir of a first-tier aristocratic family in the capital—that title alone was like a mountain pressing down on them, making it hard to breathe.

In Hong Kong, they were powerful figures who could call forth wind and rain, but in front of this 'fierce dragon' from the capital, they weren't even considered mudfish crossing a river.

Endure, they could only endure.

"Young Master Zhao, you've misunderstood, a huge misunderstanding!" Li Xiaodong quickly stood up from his seat.

"We were just discussing how to welcome you and host a banquet; it's our fault for neglecting such an esteemed guest."

"Welcome?" Zhao Tianhu sneered, his gaze as if he were looking at a pack of fawning stray dogs.

He didn't bother to linger his gaze on Li Xiaodong, instead looking past everyone and directly at Qiangwei, who was held in Su Mo's arms.

When he clearly saw Qiangwei's stunningly beautiful face and the full, alluring curves accentuated by her tight black dress, Zhao Tianhu's breathing hitched, and his eyes instantly fixated.

A masterpiece!

This was a peerless beauty that only gods could possess!

He had long heard that the Hongxing Society's eldest daughter was the most beautiful woman in Hong Kong, but seeing her today, the rumors didn't even capture one ten-thousandth of her true beauty!

This face, this figure, this wild yet seductive charm... it was a hundred times more exciting than the first-tier actresses and supermodels he had paid a hefty price to be with!

A strong sense of possessiveness instantly surged from the bottom of Zhao Tianhu's heart.

He was determined to have this woman!

As for the man holding her?

Zhao Tianhu's gaze swept over Su Mo's face as if he were looking at a roadside stone, completely ignoring him.

"Li Xiaodong, I won't waste any more words."

Zhao Tianhu retracted his gaze, his voice turning cold, "For my uncle, Zhao Tianlong, to take a liking to your daughter, that's a blessing for your Hongxing Society, like your ancestors' graves smoking with green incense! My father agreeing was also because your daughter's talent is decent and her looks are barely presentable."

"But you all, you actually dared to unilaterally break off the engagement? What, do you think our Zhao family from the capital is something your local gang can casually fool around with?"

With each word Zhao Tianhu spoke, his imposing aura grew stronger, making Li Xiaodong and the others break into a sweat.

Li Xiaodong subconsciously glanced at Su Mo next to him, hoping that Mr. Su Mo would react.

However, he found that Su Mo wasn't even looking in their direction.

He was looking down, somehow having produced a sunflower seed, which he slowly peeled, then, like feeding a kitten, he placed the kernel into Qiangwei's mouth, who was in his arms.

Qiangwei, in turn, opened her mouth cooperatively and gave him a white eye.

Luo Xiaorou beside them also tilted her small face, eagerly waiting to be fed.

Their leisurely and comfortable demeanor made it seem as if the negotiation concerning the Hongxing Society's survival was less important than the sunflower seeds in his hand.

Li Xiaodong felt incredibly stifled.

Well, Mr. Su Mo planned to just watch the show.

He had no choice but to brace himself and confront the situation:

"Young Master Zhao, this matter is indeed our fault. When the engagement was made, it was too rushed, and we... we didn't know that my daughter, Qiangwei, already had someone in her heart, and moreover... moreover, she had already performed the rites of Zhou Gong with Mr. Su Mo."

As he said this, Li Xiaodong forced an expression of extreme regret onto his face.

"As you know, we people of the jianghu value our reputation above all else. My daughter is no longer a virgin; she truly isn't worthy of a hero like your esteemed father. We also feared sullying the reputation of your Zhao family, which is why we resorted to this desperate measure!"

These words were watertight, both admitting fault and presenting the fact that Qiangwei was already "taken."

The meaning was clear: My daughter is already used goods; surely your uncle wouldn't be interested in that, would he?

Zhao Tianhu's face indeed instantly darkened, looking as if it could drip water.

His cold eyes were fixed on Qiangwei's face.

Only then did he realize that today, Qiangwei's eyes and brows indeed held a certain indescribable, alluring charm that was not present in her profile photos—a mature allure unique to a woman who had been thoroughly 'watered' by a man.

This woman, was she really preempted by that pretty boy?

Jealousy and rage instantly exploded in Zhao Tianhu's heart!

He had come this time with the intention of having a taste of his uncle's "fiancée" before taking her back to the capital.

But now... this woman was no longer a virgin?

Zhao Tianhu's anger burned for only a second before an even more stimulating thought emerged.

Not a virgin... wouldn't that be even better?

That way, even if he had her first, old man Zhao Tianlong wouldn't even find out!

And compared to a naive virgin, he preferred a developed, ripe peach like this; it would be much more exciting to play with!

Thinking of this, the anger in Zhao Tianhu's eyes quickly morphed into lecherous desire. He once again directed his gaze towards Qiangwei's fiery, alluring body, a blatant smile spreading across his face.

His gaze was sticky, dirty, like a venomous snake, crawling inch by inch over Qiangwei's body.

Qiangwei felt a wave of nausea from his stare, her stomach churning.

She could no longer hold back and sneered repeatedly, "What are you looking at? You impotent old man!"

"If you keep staring at me with those dog eyes, do you believe I won't gouge them out and stomp on them?!"

The crisp yet vicious words were like a resounding slap, harshly striking Zhao Tianhu's face.

The entire private room instantly fell silent.

The lecherous smile on Zhao Tianhu's face froze.

The two black-clad bodyguards behind him changed their expressions, and a chilling killing intent permeated the air.

"You... what did you say?!" Zhao Tianhu's face turned beet red, and his finger, pointing at Qiangwei, trembled, "You slut! You dare to curse me?!"

"What about it if I curse you?" Qiangwei's face was full of mockery and disdain, "Not only you, but also your impotent uncle who wants to prey on young women—you two, uncle and nephew, are both disgusting!"

"You're looking for death!"

Zhao Tianhu was trembling with rage, he roared, and raised his hand, intending to rush forward and slap Qiangwei across the face.

However, his hand was only halfway up when a calm and indifferent voice suddenly rang out in the private room.

"What? You want to hit my woman?"
