Her original intention was to remind Zhu Tong that the person he was protecting had an affair with Xia Yang, so he should stop from using his identity for someone with unknown-to-no background. Unexpectedly, as soon as she said this, Zhu Tong’s originally calm face only became even more furious. His glare was chilling, full of killing intent. “If you dare to say another word to him, I will make sure you won’t have any face after this!”
This is… just a plain threat.
Not only he promised to not spare her, he won’t give her any courtesy!
He Xiaoxiao was stunned. Anger bubbling in her chest, and her face only reflected her ire. “What a big mouth, Young Master Zhu, but don’t you think too highly of yourself? Not to mention that your father and our family still have business cooperation, you’re just a son that your father abandoned and didn’t want! How can you make me lose face? Why don’t you worry more about yourself and whether you can still go back to the Zhu family?”
“There is no need for Young Lady He to worry about whether our Young Master can return or not. Young Lady He should still worry about whether or not she can return to her own!”
Behind everyone, a middle-aged man, probably in his 30s or 40s, strode over from the entrance, his face was terrifyingly gloomy.
How dare someone speak to his young master in such a tone?!
Not only did they dare to hurt him on horseback, they also satirized that their young master could not go home when he had a home?
They really regarded a tiger as a sick cat. These second-generation rich people of A City are getting obnoxiously arrogant!
All four of them turned their heads to look, and when they saw Uncle Liu, there was no big reaction.
“Who are you?” He Xiaoxiao impolitely asked.
She doesn’t know Uncle Liu.
Uncle Liu ignored her, and went straight to Zhu Tong’s horse. He looked at his young master from the bottom up, and said worriedly, “Young Master, are you alright?”
Zhu Tong replied, “I’m okay, Uncle Liu. Do you have Young Lady He’s father’s phone number?”
“He Biyou’s phone number? I do have them. What does the young master want to do?”
“…”
When He Xiaoxiao heard that this person actually had her father’s phone number, a hint of surprise flashed on her face.
And this man actually called her father by his name, no honorifics what-so-ever!
She panicked a little. “Young Master Zhu…”
Zhu Tong lowered his head and said to Uncle Liu, “Call and tell He-zong that her daughter led someone to maliciously chase us on horseback, which greatly frightened me and my classmate. Let him take care of it himself, and tell the family about it in the meantime.”
“The family” he meant naturally meant Zhu Tong’s grandfather and the Cheng family.
He Xiaoxiao didn’t know who Zhu Tong actually meant. She thought Zhu Tong was referring to Zhu Shoushan, so she comforted herself that Zhu Tong’s father wouldn’t care about her for such a trivial matter.
The call was quickly connected, and before Uncle Liu spoke, the person on the phone spoke, “Liu-zong? Why did you remember to call me today? Is there anything wrong?”
His tone sounded pleasantly surprised, with a hint of flattery that could not be hidden.
The people present were shocked at the same time, including Zhu Tong.
Who is Uncle Liu? Just who the hell is the identity of the man Grandpa arrange for him?
Xia Yang frowned tightly.
He Biyou never had such a flattering tone in front of his father!
He Xiaoxiao’s face instantly turned pale. She could hear it, that was her father’s voice!
Uncle Liu’s tone was not as caring and doting as he usually had for Zhu Tong. He showed the seriousness and sternness of a superior. “The good daughter taught by He-zong actually chased my Young Master on horseback. Alas, she still stubbornly refused to apologize. I’m amazed by her arrogance, it’s truly good, ah.”
He Xiaoxiao subconsciously refuted, “I didn’t!”
Her eyes widened in fear.
She never chased after Zhu Tong on horseback!
How could this man talk nonsense to her father?!
As soon as He Biyou heard his daughter’s voice, he suddenly said, “Xiaoxiao?”
“He-zong, you can talk to your daughter about the rest.” Uncle Liu planned to hang up the phone directly.
He Biyou tried to stop him on the phone, but in the end he just said, “No need to worry, Liu-zong. I will give you an explanation for this…”
Then the call was cut off before He Biyou could finish talking.
After a while, He Xiaoxiao’s phone rang. She was confident that her riding skills were not bad, so she didn’t listen to the staff’s reminder and took her mobile phone with her.
She answered the phone with trembling hands, “…Dad?”
“You did a good job! Who told you to go to the racecourse and do such outrageous things! You also provoke… you, go back home now!”
He Xiaoxiao panicked and tried to defend her, “Dad, I didn’t do that, I’m just talking to Zhu Tong…”
“Zhu Tong? What does it have to do with Zhu Tong… It’s unimportant, go back now! I’ll re-educate you!”
Then, he hang up the phone directly.
He Xiaoxiao was still frightened by her father’s fury. She looked at Zhu Tong blankly, her face pale and said: “Young Master Zhu, I…”
She has realized that it was not a Zhu family – after all, it directly angered her father like this.
Who is this person named Liu? Why is her father so scared?
Even though she was standing under the scorching sun, she felt chilled, as if she had been frozen solid.
She looked at Zhu Tong, her eyes slightly red.
Zhu Tong only indifferently said, “You don’t have to tell me, it’s useless. No matter what you will experience when you go back, or what will happen to your family, I hope you remember that it’s all because of Xia Yang and your own conduct.”
He Xiaoxiao blanked.
Xia Yang was also thinking about who Uncle Liu was, when he was suddenly cued, he said, “Zhu Tong, what do you mean?!”
Zhu Tong said, “It depends on what you mean today.”
“…”
“I don’t know why you came to the racecourse today, but these two…” He looked at Wang Yao and Wu Wen, “Why did they target Shao Ming, why did they chase after him out of nowhere? It doesn’t matter if they don’t admit it. And as for Young Lady He, I don’t care if you accused me of Xia Yang at the dinner party, but this time, you don’t need to be reminded of how you got in trouble with me, do you?”
He Xiaoxiao: “…”
This time… She also stood up for Xia Yang, and it was because she spoke for Xia Yang, she described Shao Ming as a “little white face who’s playing hard to get”. That is precisely when Zhu Tong’s face changed completely.
But now she has provoked someone she shouldn’t, and yet Xia Yang didn’t say a word to defend her.
She suddenly turned to look over.
Inexplicably, Xia Yang felt uncomfortable by her gaze.
Subconsciously, he wanted to say, “It’s none of his business.” He’d stopped them, but they wouldn’t listen to him.
But did he really stop it?
He maliciously wanted Zhu Tong to fall from the horse, so he gave up stopping them.
But Zhu Tong is a damned person, he just wants everything back on track, what’s wrong with him?
He did nothing wrong at all!
Without waiting for Xia Yang’s reply, Zhu Tong continued, “Because you like Xia Yang, you target the people he likes. Similarly, I hate Xia Yang, so I hate everyone who likes him. If you didn’t come to provoke me, it would have been fine. There will be nothing wrong if our paths never crossed to begin with. But, you all dared to offend me, so don’t expect me to be generous in return.”
At first, he also wanted to be at peace with Xia Yang. After all, they lived in the same world, why would he actively seek enemies for himself?
But the “protagonist” is always everywhere.
Xiang Chuan did shitty things for his sake. Yuan Shaozhou did shitty things for his sake. And all three people in his entourage also did shitty things for his sake!
Although he understood that this is just the way the hearthrob works – that is, the supporting characters will always spare no effort to stand out for the heartthrob and be jealous of the person he likes.
The heartthrobs are always “naive” and always “innocent”. They can remove all the cannon fodder and villains without doing it themselves, and climb to the top of life relying on the supporting characters’ grace, all due to their “liking”.
But he’s this novel’s “villain”!
Zhu Tong thought, why would he, a “villain”, accept such a ridiculous setting?
He didn’t have the time to care how many people liked the heartthrob. However, that only applies when those people didn’t jump over into his face, didn’t hurt the people he cared about, and didn’t trouble him left and right!
Otherwise, all bets are off!
‘Host, congratulations! You have successfully changed the trajectory of a character’s destiny! For your valiant effort, you will be rewarded with a <perspective change> ability, which can be unlocked when your favorability level reaches 60%.’
Zhu Tong: “…”
‘The trajectory of a character’s destiny? Which character?’
‘What is a perspective change ability? What is the use?’
The system explained, ‘Unreasonable world settings can be changed by external forces. Host, you have changed the inherent impression of the supporting characters on the protagonist, and to a certain extent, has changed the trajectory of the supporting characters’ and the protagonist’s destiny. Because you have corrected these unreasonable settings, you are rewarded. As for the perspective change ability, you can use this to check the White Moonlight’s favorability level to other characters.’
Zhu Tong frowned slightly.
Details of Shao Ming’s favorability to others? What does it have to do with him?
It seemed useless.
He paused for a while, then looked up at Xia Yang, and found that he didn’t seem to be as “sparkly” as before.
The eyes of Wang Yao, Wu Wen, and He Xiaoxiao looking at Xia Yang also changed.
More scrutiny, suspicion, and even a hint of disgust.
The person riding with Shao Ming was Zhu Tong. They didn’t know that, but didn’t Xia Yang know about it?
Why didn’t he mention Zhu Tong’s identity at first, instead of leisurely watched them try to hit an iron wall and fuck themselves up?
Did he… actually bring them to this racetrack for that purpose?
Xia Yang’s scalp was numb from their suspicious glare. But he didn’t understand what went wrong.
He even felt that there was something in the dark, as if a change was happening that he didn’t want to see.
Luo Suo really stayed out of this group, watching from a safe distance. He saw Zhu Tong coolly preach to this group of people.
He’s full of a domineering aura. Simply put, he’s handsome!
The few people who were invincible a moment ago are now like eggplants beaten by frost, and they are defeated one by one.
While Zhu Tong had disliked others before, when had he ever been so fired up?
Is it for his Ming-ge’s sake?
Then he turned his gaze to Shao Ming… A person who was ridiculed, looked down upon, and scolded as a little white face. The corner of his mouth upturned, and he looked very happy and proud!
