Moreover, Liao Jianli believed that Zhou Wang knew this was his territory, and if there was any issue, he could directly approach him. Why make it awkward for everyone?
However, Liao Jianli clearly couldn’t let this inexplicable farce continue. He first nodded with a smile at Wang Ruixi, then quickly walked forward and greeted Zhou Wang mildly.
"Mr. Zhou, we meet again."
At this moment, upon hearing Liao Jianli’s address to Zhou Wang, Qu Jie and Wang Feiyu exchanged skeptical glances, both seeing the incredulity and tension in each other’s eyes.
Wasn’t this Zhou Wang a country bumpkin from out of town? How did he become "Mr. Zhou," and how did he know Liao Jianli?
"Who is he?"
On the side, Wang Yaolong and Cao Meijuan were also puzzled and quietly inquired with Liao Jianli.
"Zhou Wang and I are from the same hometown. We met once recently in Yunan Province..."
Thus, Liao Jianli briefly explained, and those eavesdropping finally learned about Zhou Wang’s identity.
Upon discovering that Zhou Wang was, in fact, a successful young entrepreneur, a billionaire, the reactions among the group varied.
Qu Jie and Wang Feiyu repeatedly exclaimed, recalling the encounter at the restaurant, cursing under their breath... Damn, this kid had them fooled.
Meanwhile, Yue Yue from the band was stunned; Jiang Mo’s boyfriend was this wealthy?
Sisi, in her sudden understanding, was filled with intense jealousy... Why, after Jiang Mo’s family went bankrupt, could she immediately find such a capable suitor? Moreover, he was young and handsome.
Realizing that the rumors Han Yanqian spread about Jiang Mo might just be rumors, Sisi grew even more disgruntled.
However, surprise aside, Qu Jie and Wang Feiyu still felt nothing to fear...
A billionaire?
In Beidou, who knows how many billionaires a single brick could knock down!
Their confidence stemmed from the fact that Wang Yaolong and Cao Meijuan, upon learning of Zhou Wang’s identity, were surprised but didn’t show any fear.
The same reason applied... This was Beidou, their home ground.
The group also realized that since Zhou Wang was part of the wealthy class, it wasn’t surprising he knew Wang Ruixi’s name.
After Liao Jianli finished his brief explanation, Zhou Wang spoke for the first time when he looked over again.
"Hello, Mr. Liao."
He was aloof, but Zhou Wang’s demeanor was even colder.
Liao Jianli’s eyebrows furrowed. He suppressed his discomfort and forced a smile, "Mr. Zhou, I’m aware of the situation. Although you came uninvited, now that you’re here, you’re a guest. Please forgive us if our hospitality is lacking, but perhaps... you could cooperate with us to resolve this matter so as not to affect the evening’s banquet?"
"Mr. Liao, let me hear what you propose to resolve this issue."
Zhou Wang asked indifferently.
What did he mean by "let me hear"?
That seemingly superior tone, even Liao Jianli couldn’t help but frown, let alone Wang Yaolong and the others nearby... Such an arrogant young man.
"Actually, the matter is not complicated."
Liao Jianli tried to maintain his demeanor, but his voice involuntarily lowered, "Mr. Zhou, you and your girlfriend should apologize to Sisi and the others, and provide some financial compensation. Considering we’re from the same hometown, I could mediate, and this would be over. Do you..."
"Considering we’re from the same hometown."
Zhou Wang interrupted Liao Jianli, repeating his words, then murmured to himself, "I also consider our hometown ties, but unfortunately... a bit disappointed."
As Liao Jianli was taken aback, Zhou Wang turned and looked at Jiang Mo, who had been silently staying by his side.
"Senior, will you forgive them?"
Jiang Mo looked up at Zhou Wang.
Her deep eyes finally showed some emotion, slightly stirring as she gazed at Zhou Wang, then shook her head with a faint but firm determination.
"She said I was making money, your money... but honey, I didn’t."
Her voice was so small and light that only Zhou Wang heard her resentment and grievance.
At that moment, Zhou Wang suddenly understood why Jiang Mo was so angry that she resorted to violence...
It turned out her grievance wasn’t about her reputation; what she wanted to protect was the softest part of her heart.
No matter how her relationship with Zhou Wang started, Jiang Mo never thought it was solely about "material."
She might not have been smart, she might have been very timid, on that rooftop in the summer night breeze, she had once removed her pants, nearly stepping into the abyss, but she ultimately didn’t step forward!
Rather than saying Zhou Wang kissed her with money, it was in the library corner where the book she put on the opposite seat opened her heart.
She was a fallen angel, but in her heart... there was still redemption, not to be desecrated.
Zhou Wang couldn’t express the emotions in his heart at that moment; he just felt inexplicably pained.
The thing he wanted to do most was immediately book a ticket for Jiang Mo to return home for the New Year, directly to Jing City... Oh, Jing City didn’t have an airport.
He closed his eyes for a moment to prevent his emotions from flooding, knowing that there was no point in waiting any longer.
"Wang Ruixi."
Thus, Zhou Wang called out Wang Ruixi’s name a second time.
As Liao Jianli and the guests present looked puzzled, Wang Ruixi, who had been silent, suddenly straightened his back.
"I’m here."
