Chapter 714: Chapter 715: Making You Furious

This statement was quite impolite, and it was even insulting. Song Xiaodong’s face fell, and he said coldly, "Dare to say that again!"

That guy, having no idea of the danger he was in, glared with the courage fueled by alcohol, showing no regard for Song Xiaodong, shouted, "I said it, so what? I didn’t sleep with her, why are you glaring?"

"Snap!" A crisp sound echoed as Song Xiaodong raised his hand and delivered a heavy slap to the man.

Yang Yong was right beside Song Xiaodong. His girlfriend was being pulled to dance by someone else, and he was quite displeased. It would have been nothing if they were all good friends just joking around, but these guys were complete strangers, which made it a completely different matter.

However, for the sake of his girlfriend’s job, he couldn’t intervene, but seeing Song Xiaodong hit the guy suddenly made him feel indescribably thrilled.

Song Qing hadn’t left yet. Hearing the exchange between Song Xiaodong and the man, she sensed trouble brewing, but she didn’t expect it to escalate so quickly, nor did she expect Song Xiaodong to strike without giving her a chance to react.

The slap also stunned Song Qing, who stood there dumbfounded, looking at Song Xiaodong and Lin Su’er.

"Fuck you!" The man was stunned for a good ten seconds, then suddenly erupted in rage, cursed loudly, picked up a wine bottle, and swung it directly at Song Xiaodong’s head.

"Ah!" Song Qing screamed, instinctively closing her eyes.

Yang Yong wanted to intervene, but it was already too late.

Instead, Lin Su’er, more composed than the others at this moment, knew Song Xiaodong was formidable. An ordinary person like that stood no chance against Song Xiaodong.

"Hmph!" Song Xiaodong snorted coldly, raised his hand to grab the other man’s wrist, then flicked it upward, causing the man’s hand to involuntarily jolt up, and the wine bottle ended up smashing solidly onto his own forehead. Fortunately, Song Xiaodong didn’t exert more force, or the bottle would have shattered and slashed open the man’s face.

The commotion escalated further as Zhou Pingqing and Li Jinghui, hearing the noise, hurried over.

"What happened?" Li Jinghui asked sternly, seeing his friend with an ashen face and an equally grim expression.

The man, one hand clutching his forehead, pointed at Song Xiaodong and angrily said, "I was just asking this lady to dance, and this bastard wouldn’t let me. He even fucking slapped me. This isn’t over today. If I don’t cripple him, I am no longer surnamed Wang."

Zhao Rui and Song Qing couldn’t help but curse their luck internally; how had it come to a fight?

Zhou Pingqing felt overwhelmed and immediately glared at Song Xiaodong, saying, "Look, Song Xiaodong, why were you so impulsive? It was just a dance, no big deal. How could you resort to hitting someone? Quickly apologize to Brother Wang."

Zhao Rui and Song Qing also hurriedly said, "Yes, yes, apologize quickly. Brother Wang is generous and won’t stoop to your level." As they spoke, they signaled to Song Xiaodong and Lin Su’er with their eyes.

Li Jinghui turned his head to look at Song Xiaodong, his face cold as he said, "Kid, you’ve got some nerve, daring to hit my friend."

Song Xiaodong responded indifferently, "So what if I did?"

Upon hearing Song Xiaodong say this, Zhou Pingqing immediately became angry and exclaimed, "Deputy Director Li is talking to you. Are you out of your mind? Do you still want your girlfriend to get a job at the hospital or not?"

Zhao Rui also quickly said, "Exactly, you better apologize now. It’s no big deal, and yet you went and hit someone. Hurry up, Su’er, please persuade your boyfriend, he’s being too impulsive."

Seeing that everyone was speaking against him only bolstered Brother Wang, who said through gritted teeth, "Apologize? Does he think everything will be resolved with an apology? I’m going to make it clear to you today that you can’t just hit anyone."

Song Xiaodong had already sat down, his arm around Lin Su’er’s shoulders, and scoffed, "And what the hell are you, thinking you can ask my girlfriend to dance with him and deserve an apology from me."

The man named Wang exploded in anger and yelled, "Did you hear that? Did you all hear that? Listen to this, he is absolutely the most arrogant young man I’ve ever seen, and if I don’t teach him a lesson today on how to behave, how can I face anyone after this?"

Li Jinghui waved his hand and said, "Old Wang, don’t be mad just yet. They were invited by me, and I will definitely give you an explanation." He then turned toward Song Xiaodong and Lin Su’er, slowly stating, "I’m giving you two choices now."

Zhao Rui eagerly said, "Deputy Director Li, just tell us what you want. He is just too young and impulsive. We’ll definitely persuade him."

Song Qing likewise said, "Yes, yes, Deputy Director Li, please calm down, we’ll talk to him."

Song Xiaodong waved his hand and said, "Thank you for your kindness, but such people aren’t worth appeasing, don’t worry, he can’t do anything to you."

Zhao Rui, furious, stomped her foot and exclaimed, "Can’t you stop being so chauvinistic? Do you think it’s easy to find a job these days? Lin Su’er finally found a job, and just because of your damn temper, because of your chauvinism, her job is going to be ruined. Have you ever thought about how you two are going to live in the future?"

Song Qing also expressed her frustration and said, "Song Xiaodong, as a man, you can’t be too selfish. If you could actually support Lin Su’er by yourself, that would be fine, but you can’t, can you? You’re just feeling satisfied for the moment, but have you thought about the future?"

Song Xiaodong was rendered somewhat speechless by their words, but he had to admit that both were well-meaning, genuinely caring for Lin Su’er. Although their words were harsh, they sincerely aimed to protect both Lin Su’er and him.

This touched Song Xiaodong quite a bit. It was indeed fortunate for Lin Su’er to have such friends. He smiled faintly and said, "Thank you for your kindness. I’ll keep this in mind. Su’er, you’ve made two good friends."

Lin Su’er also nodded repeatedly and said, "Yes, yes, they really took good care of me during our school days. I will remember their kindness for a lifetime..."

"You two..." Zhao Rui was nearly driven to tears by their obliviousness. At such a time, they still had the mood to discuss this? Didn’t they realize that they had caused a huge problem? Didn’t they know that with just one word from Li Jinghui, Lin Su’er’s job could be ruined?

Meanwhile Li Jinghui and his friends’ expressions were growing uglier by the minute. This was clearly a flagrant disregard for them, an outright contempt, which they found unbearable.
