Chapter 697: Chapter 697: Arrogant Baili Hai

Slap!

Wang Jin’er slapped away Baili Hai’s wandering hands, drawing the eyes of the surrounding crowd.

Dressed in her stunning gown, Wang Jin’er was already drawing a lot of attention, her beauty making her the focus of the banquet hall. Many young heirs had come up to ask for her contact details, wanting to befriend her, yet most had some sense of decorum and gracefully retreated after being rejected.

"Who the hell is that guy, being so brazen?"

"That? You don’t know him? That’s the son of the Baili Group, Baili Hai."

Hearing ’Baili Group,’ people around sucked in a breath. Although the Baili Group wasn’t as renowned as the top ten groups in Sea City, it was still a large conglomerate with assets over a hundred billion. For those present with a net worth of only a few billion, offending them was off-limits.

What a pity for the beauty.

Some looked at Wang Jin’er with sympathy – after all, she was genuinely stunning. Today’s engagement ceremony had drawn many industry elites, including wealthy tycoons, naturally surrounded by beautiful women.

Even the popular actresses at the party couldn’t compare to her beauty.

"Heh, Baili Group."

At that moment, a young man stepped out from the crowd, a sneer on his lips, and confronted Baili Hai: "Baili Hai, can you please show some decency? The lady clearly isn’t into you, and yet you’re shamelessly persisting. Isn’t that a lack of face for you?"

Everyone turned to look at the young man who stepped forward, dressed in a suit and oozing sophistication, but his expression towards Baili Hai was cold and mocking.

"Who’s this guy?"

Some were curious about the young man who had intervened. Soon someone whispered, "That’s Wu Bo. His family owns Daqian Logistics."

"Daqian Logistics, the one they call the fifth logistics empire after STO Express? They’ve been rapidly rising these past few years. Just the logistics park in Sea City alone cost over thirty billion to build, and they have seven such massive parks across major national regions."

"Mm-hmm, and that’s just the tip of the iceberg. Do you guys know the Wu family’s background?"

"What background?" People turned their heads towards the one in the know.

"The Wu family is one of the eight great families. More than just Daqian Logistics, they’ve got Daqian Electronics, Daqian Culture, and several other formidable companies."

"Add them all up, and the Wu family’s assets are nearly a trillion. Baili Hai is going to be embarrassed this time."

A hundred billion versus a trillion.

Even a fool could do the math; in comparison to the Daqian conglomerate, Baili Hai’s Baili Group was a dwarf.

In their circle, it was simple: see who has more money, power, and background. Compared to before, Baili Hai suddenly didn’t seem all that impressive.

"This is a bit of a face-slap."

"Heh, let’s watch the drama unfold."

Those around had no standing to intervene and could only spectate.

Baili Hai cast a cold glance at Wu Bo: "Heh, look who it is, the sissy himself."

"Baili Hai, say that one more time," Wu Bo’s face turned dark, clearly stung by Baili Hai’s words.

"Don’t talk about ’once more,’ even if I repeated it ten times, a hundred times, there’s no issue, because you are a sissy."

Baili Hai turned to face Wu Bo, showing clear disdain. He was well aware of Wu Bo’s background, a member of the great Wu family, albeit not from the main lineage.

Even if Wu Bo were to inherit a portion of the family wealth in the future, it wouldn’t be much. If it were Wu Yi from the Wu family, Baili Hai might have given some face.

"What’s wrong, you think you can compete with me for a woman with your thin frame? Are you even worthy?"

Baili Hai was exuding arrogance. The Baili family was on the rise, basking in success. Recently, their old rival Shanshui Group had collapsed unexpectedly, along with several real estate companies, which handed the Baili family a golden project.

Moreover, the Baili Group had already begun to take over Shanshui with support from the Lin family behind the scenes. Baili Hai couldn’t be happier, swelling with an inflated sense of self.

If you really annoyed him, he could just bury you with money.

Baili Hai poked Wu Bo’s chest forcefully, Wu Bo’s face shifting emotions, looking incredulously at the still arrogant Baili Hai: "Baili Hai, what makes you think you can act so arrogantly with me?"

"Just based on your Baili Group behind you? Don’t believe for a second that I couldn’t destroy your company within three months."

Surrounded by so many people, Wu Bo couldn’t lose face and made a fierce declaration.

"Ha, haha."

Baili Hai burst out laughing upon hearing Wu Bo’s threat, grabbing Wu Bo by the collar: "Three months? Good, I’ll wait and see."

"I’m curious whether my Baili Group will go bankrupt first, or if your Wu family’s Daqian Group will roll out of Sea City first."

With utmost arrogance, Baili Hai swept a look over Wu Bo, flinging him aside, causing Wu Bo to stumble and fall.

Wu Bo’s face darkened, and the crowd watched in stunned silence as the confrontation escalated.

"F*ck."

In the crowd, Yang Hua watched Baili Hai getting into a fight and cursed under his breath; this wasn’t how the script was supposed to go.

Next to Yang Hua was Mu Yuyan, in a white dress holding a violin case, who trembled upon seeing Baili Hai.

How did she run into him here?

Yuyan had a real fear of Baili Hai; he’d fixed his sights on her before, not rushing to take her to bed but savoring the process, which left Yuyan terrified for a period.

She wanted to fight back, but he threatened her using her family members; Baili Hai was no good man.

Baili Hai sneered looking at Wu Bo, then turned back to Wang Jin’er.

"Beauty, ready to consider being my friend now?"

Baili Hai looked at Wang Jin’er provocatively, daringly.

Yang Hua contemplated whether to step in; the script was already off the rails. Initially, he had hoped Baili Hai would target Yuyan by his side, and now it was a completely mistaken situation.

What should happen next...

Just then.

Slap slap, slap slap.
