"Young Master Ling, being courteous with them for what?!"
"Exactly! They don't even bother to find out who we are. There aren't many in Mofeng City who dare to offend us!"
Han Luoli and Gu Xiaoer joked as if they were above it all, the usually haughty young masters naturally refused to submit.
In particular, for the esteemed Han Luoli, there was always an inevitable private comparison. When they found they could not match up in any way, they could only use their status to suppress others.
Ling Ye broke into cold sweat, it wasn't that he was being polite, he was scared. Yet, this group still lacked perception...
He glanced covertly, seeing that his second brother had no intention of revealing his identity but was looking at him with an icy expression, he became even more unsettled.
"Hey, what exactly do you want to do? Just because you have a big identity, you think you can bully people at will?"
Gu Xiaoer couldn't help but spread her arms wide, shielding Ai Le behind her. She didn't know what was happening, but seeing the other party's attitude, her temper also flared up. Lele might have a fiery temper, but she was never one to look for trouble without reason.
Ling Ye steadied himself and hurriedly tried to smooth things over, "Miss, the thing is like this. We heard the voice of this young lady in the private room and got curious, so we knocked on the door hoping to make her acquaintance. But my friends are blunt and called out 'tomboy', so..."
So that's how it was, Gu Xiaoer suddenly understood, Lele hated most being called that, no wonder she was angry.
"Now you all have to apologize to my best friend!" Gu Xiaoer stood her ground firmly too, this was a matter of principle for best friends, and she had to defend her.
Ling Ye's confusion only grew.
Han Luoli simply bowed his head, looking tenderly at Gu Xiaoer as she protected her like a mother hen, his gaze laced with amusement. He breathed softly into her ear, "Xiao Er, just do what you want, they won't do anything to you."
"Really?" It was an intimate murmur, very close.
"Really. Even if you poked a hole through the sky, I would be there to cover for you."
"..." The credibility wasn't very high, but her heart still felt sweet. Unlike some men who were afraid of trouble, only willing to compromise and endure.
Her gaze landed on Ling Ye, pretending to be fierce, "You all hurry up and apologize to my best friend!"
Why am I always the one getting hurt... Ling Ye felt wronged but still quickly opened his mouth, shouting three loud apologies to Ai Le.
Second brother, considering how cooperative I am, can you add some chicken drumsticks for me tonight?
Ai Le was stunned, she had just been wearing a ruffian-like face, but how did it change after Xiao Er and the others arrived?
Strange, oh strange, but seeing her best friend defend her that way made her feel warm inside.
She tugged at Gu Xiaoer's clothes, loosening up, "Xiao Er, let's go." For some reason, seeing the man Xiao Er brought along, she felt some pressure, his gaze didn't fall on her, yet it commanded respect without intent.
This man, was he a male escort, a top card?!
"And them," Gu Xiaoer refused to let go of any of them who bullied Ai Le.
The few men were taken aback, no one moved.
Han Luoli stood behind Gu Xiaoer, glancing indifferently at the several unmoving men.
Those young masters were startled by that look, breaking into a cold sweat instantly. That man hadn't done anything, but with just a look he imposed immense pressure on them.
Ling Ye made a gesture, knowing he meant business and hurriedly cued the people behind him to apologize collectively.
"Young Master Ling..." Someone just wanted to say that they didn't need to fear them since the bodyguards were downstairs, ready to come up at a call. But seeing Young Master Ling squeezing his brows and nearly reddening his eyes, he hesitated.
Being the most noble among them, if even he was being cautious...
