Yang Xu slowly walked up to Fang Yu.
"The food here is delicious, right? It's all cooked by international chefs." Yang Xu said with a sarcastic smile.
He had sent someone to investigate before and knew that Fang Yu was an orphan from a poor family.
That was precisely why he had asked Zhao Shuang'er to invite Fang Yu to the birthday party.
Tonight, he would make Fang Yu realize what a gap was.
Fang Yu continued to quietly eat the food on his plate, ignoring Yang Xu.
"I've already come right in front of you. Aren't you going to stand up and offer me a drink? This doesn't seem very polite, does it?" Yang Xu said, slightly narrowing his eyes.
Then, Yang Xu suddenly laughed and said, "Oh, sorry, I forgot you're an orphan. Born but not raised. It's normal that you have no manners."
Hearing this, Fang Yu raised his eyes and looked at Yang Xu.
Fang Yu's eyes were as black as the night, as if they could see through everything about Yang Xu at a glance.
Yang Xu only felt a chill rising from the soles of his feet, as if he had fallen into an ice cave!
"Considering that you've treated me to a meal today, I can give you a chance to apologize." Fang Yu stood up and walked in front of Yang Xu.
Yang Xu's face changed slightly, and his heart was pounding.
"How could this be? Just a mere Fang Yu. Why am I feeling scared?"
Yang Xu was ashamed and angry about this inexplicable fear. With so many people watching from behind, he couldn't show weakness!
"Apologize? Weren't the words I said just now right? You really have no manners at all! What? Do you want to hit me?" Yang Xu put his left hand in his pocket and said arrogantly.
As a fifth - stage Xiantian martial artist, Yang Xu was not invincible among his peers, but he was still a very powerful existence.
If Fang Yu dared to attack him, he would surely make Fang Yu suffer a great deal!
"Very well." A smile curled up at the corner of Fang Yu's mouth. He raised his hand and slapped towards Yang Xu's left cheek.
Yang Xu reacted quickly. The moment Fang Yu raised his hand, he had already prepared for defense.
But Yang Xu still didn't expect that Fang Yu's slap would be so fast!
"Slap!"
This slap landed firmly on Yang Xu's left cheek, making a loud sound.
Yang Xu stumbled and fell to the ground, feeling dizzy.
The group of classmates who were joking nearby were stunned for a moment, then quickly reacted and rushed towards Yang Xu.
Zhao Shuang'er let out a scream, lifted her skirt, and ran to Yang Xu's side, then squatted down.
Yang Xu covered his face and stared at Fang Yu with venomous eyes.
From childhood to adulthood, he had never been slapped in public.
Even his parents didn't dare to do that!
But now, in front of everyone, this bastard Fang Yu actually dared to slap him!
"Xu, are you okay? Let me see. How badly are you hurt?" Zhao Shuang'er's eyes were red, and she looked at Yang Xu worriedly.
Yang Xu took his hand away from his face, revealing a red and swollen handprint.
Seeing this, many people gasped, and their eyes looking at Fang Yu were filled with horror.
This guy actually dared to slap Yang Xu. How audacious he was!
Zhao Shuang'er turned around, glared at Fang Yu, her eyes full of resentment, and shrieked, "Fang Yu, I kindly invited you to my birthday party, and Yang Xu came to talk to you on his own initiative. Yet you attacked him!? What do you mean?"
Tang Xiaorou also ran over. Seeing this scene, her heart trembled.
"Fang Yu, how could you hit Yang Xu?"
Tang Xiaorou didn't know the conversation between Fang Yu and Yang Xu, but she saw that it was Fang Yu who made the first move.
"He asked for it." Fang Yu replied.
Seeing Tang Xiaorou appear, Yang Xu, whose eyes had been venomous, suddenly had an idea.
"I just wanted to have a chat with Fang Yu and give him some advice. But Fang Yu didn't appreciate it. Instead, he said I looked down on him and forced him, and then he attacked me." Yang Xu pretended to be innocent.
"Fang Yu, how could you do this!?"
"Fang Yu is a habitual offender! I heard that he sent He Donglin from Class 2 to the hospital just last week!"
"How could such a person be transferred to our key class!? What was the school thinking!?"
The students in the class were indignant, and many of them accused Fang Yu.
Yang Xu was the young master of the Yang family, of noble status and wealthy. Now that he had invited them to the party, they naturally stood unconditionally on Yang Xu's side.
"Fang Yu, I don't know what misunderstandings you have about me. How could I look down on you? In my eyes, you, Shuang'er, and everyone else are equal. It's fate that we can get to know each other. If you're not happy at the birthday party, you can tell me, and I can let you leave... There's no need to use violence." Yang Xu said gently.
"Don't reason with this kind of person. Let's call the police directly! Let the inspectors handle it!" Zhao Shuang'er glared at Fang Yu.
"There's no need. I believe Fang Yu didn't do it on purpose. He just couldn't control his emotions." Yang Xu waved his hand.
At the same time, Yang Xu secretly observed Tang Xiaorou from the corner of his eye and saw that her face was getting worse and worse.
It worked!
"But your face..." Zhao Shuang'er was very worried.
"It's okay. Just apply some medicated oil, and it'll be fine in two days." Yang Xu stood up from the ground and walked in front of Fang Yu again.
"Fang Yu, if you have any dissatisfaction, just say it out. Don't be so quick to use your hands. Fortunately, you met me this time. If you had attacked someone else, the consequences would have been serious." Yang Xu said with a sincere look.
"Sure enough, Young Master Yang is magnanimous. If it were me, I'd definitely fight back!"
"Yeah, Young Master Yang is so strong. If he really fought back, Fang Yu would have to be sent to the hospital tonight! I mean, Young Master Yang is such a nice person, yet Fang Yu attacked him. What was he thinking?"
"I think he's just jealous. He's jealous that Young Master Yang is rich, taller and more handsome than him. He's just unbalanced!"
The classmates around were talking loudly, not afraid that Fang Yu would hear.
Fang Yu didn't say anything. He just watched Yang Xu's performance quietly.
At this moment, Tang Xiaorou suddenly walked in front of Fang Yu and said, "Fang Yu, apologize to Yang Xu."
Fang Yu squinted his eyes, looked at Tang Xiaorou, and didn't say a word.
"Apologize to Yang Xu right now! You were in the wrong!" Tang Xiaorou raised her head, looked directly at Fang Yu, and raised her voice.
Seeing this, a flash of pride appeared in Yang Xu's eyes.
This was why he was acting. He wanted to create a rift between Fang Yu and Tang Xiaorou.
Fang Yu still didn't say anything.
"You hurt Young Master Yang so badly and don't even say a word of apology? What kind of person are you!"
"Yeah, Young Master Yang isn't going to hold you accountable, yet you still refuse to apologize!?"
"If you don't apologize, then leave! Stop freeloading off Young Master Yang's food! Get out!"
One boy took the lead, and the others started shouting.
"Get out!"
Tang Xiaorou looked at Fang Yu, her eyes firm, and said, "Fang Yu, if you apologize to Yang Xu, everyone will forgive you, and Yang Xu won't pursue it anymore..."
Fang Yu was brought to the party by Tang Xiaorou. Since he had attacked someone, Tang Xiaorou had to give Zhao Shuang'er an explanation.
On one side was her best friend, and on the other side was Fang Yu.
If Yang Xu had been in the wrong, Tang Xiaorou would have stood by Fang Yu without hesitation.
But everyone had seen that Yang Xu had just come to talk to Fang Yu and hadn't done anything, while Fang Yu had attacked Yang Xu.
In this case, Fang Yu was in the wrong.
Seeing Zhao Shuang'er's angry and distressed look, Tang Xiaorou had no choice. She had to make Fang Yu apologize.
"Xiaorou, you don't need to say any more to him. This person is just low - quality and hopeless. Let him go. Don't let him ruin our birthday party." A girl said.
"Yeah, make him get out!" The people around shouted again.
Fang Yu stood alone, facing people who were all against him.
"Fang Yu... If you don't apologize, then we'll... no longer be friends." Tang Xiaorou said with a pale face, gritting her teeth.
Fang Yu glanced at Tang Xiaorou indifferently and said, "We were never friends to begin with."
After saying that, Fang Yu turned around and left.
Watching Fang Yu's lonely departing back, Tang Xiaorou felt as if a string in her heart snapped.
"Finally, he's gone. Seeing him makes me feel bad!" The people around were still talking. It was not until Fang Yu walked out of the party venue that a cheer rang out.
This plague - bearer was finally gone!
Tang Xiaorou stood there, her face deathly pale.
She never expected things to turn out like this.
Yang Xu looked at Tang Xiaorou's appearance, a hint of mockery flashing in his eyes.
Tonight's birthday party had achieved an even better effect than he had imagined. Fang Yu was directly kicked out.
Next, he just needed to find a way to win Tang Xiaorou over.
"Xiaorou, don't worry about that person. Just pretend he doesn't exist from now on." Zhao Shuang'er walked up and patted Tang Xiaorou on the shoulder.
Tang Xiaorou turned around, looked at Zhao Shuang'er, and said softly, "Shuang'er, I apologize to you on Fang Yu's behalf. Tonight is your birthday party, but it was..."
"It's okay. We're good friends. Since Yang Xu said he won't pursue it, it's a small matter." Zhao Shuang'er smiled.
Then, Zhao Shuang'er turned around and said to the other classmates, "Everyone, continue to have fun. I'll accompany Yang Xu to deal with the injury on his face first and will be back soon."
"Okay..."
After Fang Yu left, the atmosphere of the party became lively again.
Fang Yu walked on the road, feeling neither happy nor sad.
He didn't take such a trivial matter to heart at all. Anyway, he was full, and it was time to go back.
As for Tang Xiaorou, Fang Yu had already given her the last bit of face and didn't deal with Yang Xu on the spot.
In the future, Fang Yu wouldn't give Yang Xu another chance.
...
Just as Fang Yu returned to the urban village, he received a call from Ji Dongshan.
"Mr. Fang, at ten o'clock tonight, my family will hold a communication reception. People from all walks of life will attend, and the famous Master Fu from the Jiangnan martial arts world will also come. I wonder if you're interested, Mr. Fang..."
"Who is Master Fu?" Fang Yu asked.
"He's an intelligence merchant. He has a lot of rare information in his hands. The demon beast inner cores you want to collect might get you a lot of information from him." Ji Dongshan said.
