"Oh. Okay then." Li Yang thought to himself, "So it's just a gathering of pretentious intellectuals. Cao Xin has been the vice principal of the city's No. 1 High School for the past few years since graduation. These bastards must all look respectable too, after all, Cao Xin graduated from a prestigious university in China."
These bastards naturally all found good places after graduation; I wonder if they're now working in newspapers or universities, composing poems and writing essays by the window.
Damn it, if these bastards just show off their writing skills, I can't stop them. But if they dare to make a move on Sister Xin, I'll be willing to be a thug and crush these sons of bitches!
The BMW stopped in front of a high-end clubhouse with antique-style decor. The entrance was surrounded by lush bamboo groves, resembling a classical landscape painting, making it look like an ancient garden.
"What a bunch of showy bastards! They certainly picked a nice spot." Li Yang clicked his tongue and nodded.
"Little Jiangnan"
Li Yang looked up and saw the three elegant characters on the painted plaque at the store entrance. The smooth and graceful strokes showed a certain skill in calligraphy.
"The owner of this shop is my college classmate. After graduation, he went into the family business and continued to run the hotel business. Because he studied classical literature and there is a current craze for traditional Chinese culture, under his leadership, the family's hotels have opened many high-end clubs of this style in major cities."
Business is pretty good, and the profits are quite high. This also fully demonstrates this person's vision and taste; they're doing quite well. The others are mostly journalists and professors, and they're all doing alright too!
As they entered the club, Cao Xin whispered an explanation to Li Yang. She stretched out her arms and wrapped them around Li Yang's arm, her full breasts pressing against his arm, giving him a bittersweet feeling. He felt good inside, but his lower body ached!
"I don't care what they do, it's none of my business. I just need to keep an eye on you," Li Yang thought to himself.
As soon as the two entered the club, a beautiful young lady came to lead them directly into a high-end and elegant private room.
Cao Xin's entrance caused a sensation. Li Yang glanced around and saw a dozen bastards lecherously surrounding her. He couldn't even see a woman by the door. Li Yang was in a terrible predicament. Were all these animals here for Sister Xin?
Li Yang was incredibly annoyed. Looking into those bastards' eyes, if looks could rape, his sister Xin would have been dead countless times over.
The only one who showed up at this so-called gathering of those bastards was the sleazy Sister Xin. Look at that, it's impossible for a class to be completely devoid of women. Those women must all know their place; they're just here to be supporting characters and highlight Sister Xin's brilliance.
So, none of these scoundrels were bad; in fact, they fell into the trap set by these beasts. This suited his wishes perfectly.
As Li Yang listened to his grandsons introduce themselves and their current achievements, he felt like an outsider. The moment he entered and saw Cao Xin holding his arm, the grandsons' eyes immediately shone like searchlights on him.
Once they realized that Li Yang was just a greenhorn, they immediately ignored him, seeing that he posed no threat whatsoever.
Cao Xin exchanged insincere pleasantries with them, her eyes darting out to find Li Yang. She spotted him sitting silently to one side, fiddling with his teacup. She smiled slightly and continued her conversation with the group of scoundrels. After all, navigating society requires networking and cultivating connections.
"Red Moon Bar?"
Li Yang's ears twitched, and he suddenly heard a familiar name. He was extremely confident in his brain, so naturally, if it sounded familiar, he had heard it before.
Oh right, I think I beat up a jerk when I was having lunch with Su Xiaoxiao. Wasn't that jerk's brother the owner of Red Moon Bar? And the one with a dozen or so henchmen? That's awesome!
Li Yang couldn't help but look up at him a few more times. This guy's hair was combed so smoothly it looked like a dog had licked it, and he was dressed in a suit and tie, looking like he was attending a funeral.
But judging from his appearance, he was actually quite handsome, a real catch. However, the way he stared at Cao Xin was driving Li Yang crazy; he wanted nothing more than to smash a teacup over his balls and send him to his death so he could go and pursue a fairy!
After looking at the group of people, Li Yang glanced around the private room. It was decorated with great taste, all in classical style. Although Li Yang didn't understand much of it, he could still tell that it was quite interesting.
Chapter 214: Overpowering the Scoundrels
On the wall is a painting of Wang Zhaojun leaving the border, which is quite well done. It depicts a desolate scene of a lone plume of smoke rising from the desert, a long river and a setting sun, a mournful pipa, a haggard beauty, and a lone rider heading west.
Seeing that Li Yang was just looking around alone and was completely isolated, Sister Xin felt a little guilty, so she deliberately sat next to Li Yang and said a few words to him from time to time. Whenever Li Yang answered a sentence, she would giggle and react very enthusiastically.
Cao Xin's actions immediately angered everyone. In particular, Jin Hongyue, the owner of Hongyue Bar, and Jiang Linbin, the owner of Xiaojiangnan Club, were the most outspoken.
The two were clearly on good terms, working together to attack Li Yang, indirectly criticizing him for overestimating his abilities, like a toad trying to eat swan meat, a hairless brat trying to get his hands on a goddess, it was simply a stupid daydream!
Li Yang was furious and annoyed. "Damn you all! You've already tried to seduce my girl, and before I even got around to killing you bunch of bastards, you're already attacking me!" he thought.
Just then, Feng Sheng's food and drinks arrived. To be honest, the food these bastards ordered was pretty good. Although he had eaten a lot at noon, his martial arts skills had greatly improved, and his energy expenditure had also increased accordingly. Seeing such delicious food, he was so hungry that his mouth watered, and he wanted to eat heartily and start eating quickly.
However, these damned bastards still wanted to play some drinking games, which suddenly reminded Li Yang of the classic passages in Dream of the Red Chamber. But those were the beautiful and elegant ladies of the Red Chamber, with ethereal beauty.
Listening to them talk is a pleasure. But these idiot men, all covered in sweat, I can't be bothered to argue with you.
Jin Hongyue then stepped forward and challenged, "Everyone here is a cultured person. In previous years, we would always play a drinking game at our gathering, and this year is no exception. Although I graduated a few years ago and have been running a bar ever since, I have never forgotten what I have learned."
Since everyone's here today, and kindred spirits are hard to find, let's have a good drink and a good chat. What do you all think?
This bastard kept glancing at Li Yang while he was talking; even an idiot could tell he was mocking Li Yang and giving him a hard time.
After all, those working there are all top graduates from prestigious universities, with considerable experience and having gone through the ups and downs of society. They are also familiar with drinking culture.
Li Yang, on the other hand, seemed like a naive young man who hadn't gone to college. What kind of drinking game would a guy like that know? This isn't ancient times. Damn it, Wang Bo was only thirteen years old when he wrote the famous "Preface to the Pavilion of Prince Teng".
Who does Li Yang think he is? He didn't even graduate high school, and he's good at drinking games. Even if you stripped a beautiful woman naked, it's questionable whether he would join Hong Kong to do something!
That's clearly malicious.
Jiang Linbin, who was suffering from leprosy, naturally chimed in, immediately picking up where Jin Hongyue left off, and exclaimed, "Hongyue's suggestion is excellent, I wholeheartedly agree."
As soon as Jiang Linbing finished speaking, every one of these bastards, who was full of bad intentions, immediately understood the two scoundrels' intentions and cheered, expressing their agreement.
Only Cao Xin looked unhappy, but there was nothing she could do. This was just how things were. People were setting up ladders to warm themselves by the fire, and since she had been put up there, she had to find a way to solve the problem herself.
"Li Yang, do you know any drinking games?" Sister Xin asked with concern.
Otherwise, you shouldn't come here or enter this place. Cao Xin looked at Li Yang with some guilt. She hadn't thought that much at first, she just wanted to bring Li Yang along to shield her from these lustful beasts, but she didn't expect to drag Li Yang into such a vortex.
Li Yang was in a real bind. Drinking games? Damn it, all I know is how to be a little bee, flying among the flowers, or how to survive in the world without getting hurt, or how Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai had a child that turned out to be useless.
Who the hell knows that kind of poetry and drinking game? Wait, something's not right. Li Yang suddenly remembered something. A thought flashed through his mind.
He'd read several books on couplets already, so he figured he could easily outdo these bastards. "Yeah, that's it," Li Yang thought, recalling a cool drinking game to teach these scoundrels a lesson.
"Sister Xin. I don't know much about drinking games, but I do know a little. Everyone here is a distinguished person, and also quite old, so I'll presume to make a suggestion. I wonder if everyone is willing?" Li Yang stared provocatively at Jin Hongyue and Jiang Linbing. *Damn it, do you dare? Do you dare?*
