Damn, How could my family be so wealthy?!-Chapter 511 - 510: The Initiative
Chapter 511: Chapter 510: The Initiative
"Four Eyes, you really misunderstood me; when I said I’d go block the entrance to your villa area, it was just something I blurted out casually."
"Your villa area is so big, and I don’t even know which number is your house, how could I possibly run over to block your doorstep?"
"Besides, if I really went to block your doorstep, the security guards wouldn’t just let me be, would they?"
"So, Four Eyes, I was really just joking with you earlier, and I never intended to actually block your door."
"I’m just too curious about a front-view photo of your ’back view girl,’ because from her back view, I’m certain your girlfriend must be a great beauty."
Given Four Eyes’s unwillingness to let things slide, Xian Tailang didn’t dare to show any temper.
Now, all Xian Tailang wanted was for Four Eyes to quell the anger in his heart and to let this matter go.
Xian Tailang knew that if Four Eyes kept holding on to him, there was a chance Four Eyes might really tell Su Mu.
Unfortunately, Xian Tailang also knew he was no match for the Su Family.
Therefore, at this moment, Xian Tailang obviously had no choice but to speak sweetly to Four Eyes.
Xian Tailang’s clearly obvious flattery seemed to have no effect on Four Eyes.
Because Four Eyes simply did not accept it.
Four Eyes stated that whether his girlfriend was a beauty or not was no excuse for Xian Tailang’s aggressive behavior.
Of course, Li Minli was not his girlfriend yet, a truth that Four Eyes felt no need to explain to Xian Tailang.
In Four Eyes’s view, Xian Tailang was merely a passerby.
It wouldn’t be long before Four Eyes completely erased Xian Tailang from his life.
Soon, Xian Tailang would become a passerby with whom he’d never again cross paths.
Future matters are for the future; even if Four Eyes knew he wouldn’t have any contact with this Xian Tailang later on,
he had to set the record straight today.
Four Eyes knew that without the support of the Su Family,
Xian Tailang wouldn’t be showing any submission; instead, without knowing that Su Mu was Four Eyes’s good friend, he would have probably made numerous threats by now.
For such a person as Xian Tailang, Four Eyes, of course, wasn’t going to be amiable.
Since Xian Tailang didn’t show any sense of camaraderie from the start,
let alone camaraderie, Xian Tailang’s actions were completely out of line.
At this point, Four Eyes definitely wasn’t going to give Xian Tailang any face.
"Xian Tailang, do you actually believe what you’re saying?"
"Just because you think my girlfriend is pretty, you’d come to block the door at my villa’s entrance?"
"Xian Tailang, you’ve made threats not just once or twice; do you really think I’m stupid?"
"Xian Tailang, with the mindset you have of trying to gloss over this matter, I’m genuinely worried for you."
"Since you’re afraid to disturb Su Mu, let me kindly talk to Su Mu for you tomorrow."
"Of course, I’m someone who likes to tell the whole story, after all, everyone knows I, Four Eyes, am a bit of a chatterbox, it’s just that I don’t know if you, Xian Tailang, are aware of it."
"Whether you know it or not, I’ve fully disclosed my flaw to you, so you, Xian Tailang, better be prepared."
Four Eyes saw that just casually mentioning Su Mu left Xian Tailang still harboring hope.
After all, Su Mu hadn’t said a word in Four Eyes’s social circle, which might have made Xian Tailang think that Su Mu probably didn’t have the time to check the social circle.
Xian Tailang felt that as long as he could get past Four Eyes, he wouldn’t alert Su Mu.
Naturally, if he didn’t need to disturb Su Mu, Xian Tailang wouldn’t be too subservient to Four Eyes either.
The change in Xian Tailang’s attitude towards Four Eyes was originally just because of Su Mu.
Now that Su Mu hadn’t stepped in, Xian Tailang felt that his courtesy towards Four Eyes, even to the point of feeling apologetic, was excessive.
In Xian Tailang’s view, he had already done very well.
Unfortunately, in the dynamics between Xian Tailang and Four Eyes, it was clear that Four Eyes was the one with the authority.
Xian Tailang’s initially aggressive demeanor had vanished the moment he learned that Su Mu was Four Eyes’ good friend, leaving him with no confidence at all.
When Xian Tailang came to know this harsh reality, he was filled with immense regret.
Just as those classmates said, during the three years of high school, Xian Tailang spent ninety-nine percent of his time on women.
Although starting a relationship with a girlfriend three years prior did seem a bit early for his age.
But Xian Tailang thought it was a sign of his maturity.
Xian Tailang even felt quite proud of himself for it.
However, what he once took great pride in, Xian Tailang was beginning to question today if his actions had been right or wrong.
It wasn’t that Xian Tailang wondered whether starting to date and constantly changing girlfriends so early was right or wrong.
Xian Tailang felt that he had spent the vast majority of his time on women, and in doing so, he missed the hidden power players and big shots around him.
It also led to Xian Tailang graduating from high school without having had a proper conversation with Su Mu.
Xian Tailang felt like he had completely wasted his three years in high school.
During those three years of high school, Xian Tailang had no regrets about not learning much academically.
In Xian Tailang’s own words, the wise ancestors of his family didn’t have much education, yet they still held up the vast enterprise of the Xian family.
Therefore, Xian Tailang didn’t think his lack of education would be problematic.
With that foundation at home, Xian Tailang believed that when he took over the family business, all he needed was to know how to use people.
By then, hiring high-level professionals with high salaries, Xian Tailang felt sure about his role as the boss.
In Xian Tailang’s eyes, he was the lucky one who’d won at the starting line.
Of course, this was Xian Tailang’s view of his lucky identity before he knew Su Mu’s true status.
After learning from other classmates that Su Mu was the young master of the Su Family conglomerate, to be honest, Xian Tailang felt a bit of disappointment about his ’lucky’ status.
After all, Xian Tailang knew that he was far behind Su Mu.
Fortunately, there wasn’t much interaction between Xian Tailang and Su Mu at that time, so there was no need to compare himself with Su Mu all the time.
Plus, after summer vacation started, Xian Tailang’s schedule was just too full.
He had then pushed aside the fact that Su Mu was the young master of the Su Family conglomerate.
Or rather, knowing that he couldn’t reach Su Mu’s level, Xian Tailang lost all such aspirations.
Today’s situation was truly unexpected.
Although Four Eyes didn’t think there was anything bad about being talkative before.
After all, in Four Eyes’ opinion, he was only talkative with people he was familiar with.
As for those Four Eyes was not familiar with or looked down on, he was also unwilling to say much.
But before, Four Eyes never felt there was anything worth bragging about being a chatterbox.
Now, facing Xian Tailang, Four Eyes suddenly realized that his chatterbox tendencies might actually have some use.
Wasn’t Four Eyes now using his "problem" of being a chatterbox to threaten Xian Tailang?
Xian Tailang had been using his shameless personality to threaten Four Eyes before.
Now, Four Eyes was retaliating with a threat of his own, and it was indeed payback time.
Four Eyes found it quite satisfying to threaten Xian Tailang.
"No need, no need, Four Eyes. You don’t have to bother Su Mu tomorrow, I’m really just curious,"
"I don’t want to see the frontal photo of your girlfriend at all now, you don’t have to go out of your way to find Su Mu anymore,"
Xian Tailang got anxious once again when Four Eyes brought up Su Mu.
Because Four Eyes made it very clear that he was prepared to tell Su Mu the whole story.
In other words, he wouldn’t conceal the fact that Xian Tailang threatened Four Eyes.
Xian Tailang knew if Four Eyes decided to tell Su Mu, he definitely wouldn’t cover anything up for him.
After all, Xian Tailang had been pressuring Four Eyes with his aggressiveness in Four Eyes’ circle of friends.
That way, Four Eyes was still the victim.
And how could Four Eyes, the victim, possibly speak favorably for the aggressor, Xian Tailang?
If Four Eyes managed to refrain from exaggerating the story in front of Su Mu, it would truly mean he was a very good person.
If it were Xian Tailang, he knew he would definitely add some made-up parts to the story to demonstrate how mistreated he was.
So, of course, Xian Tailang didn’t want Four Eyes to go and find Su Mu.
Xian Tailang knew that if Four Eyes really went to Su Mu tomorrow, there wouldn’t be a single good word said about him.
After Xian Tailang had treated Four Eyes like he had, did Xian Tailang expect Four Eyes to go and compliment him to Su Mu?
Even if Xian Tailang were naïve, he wouldn’t be naïve to that extent.
If Xian Tailang really thought that way, then he would truly be foolish.
In his anxiousness, he sent two messages, but sadly, they were like stones dropped into the ocean, with Four Eyes giving no response whatsoever.
Four Eyes didn’t specify whether he would find Su Mu tomorrow, nor did he say he wouldn’t.
In short, Four Eyes acted as if he hadn’t seen the two messages Xian Tailang sent at all, not giving any reaction.
"Four Eyes, say something, will you? I really don’t want to see your girlfriend’s frontal photo anymore, you don’t have to go out of your way to find Su Mu,"
Four Eyes didn’t speak, so of course, Xian Tailang had to keep sending messages.
He had no choice, if Four Eyes didn’t give a clear attitude, Xian Tailang knew he wouldn’t be able to sleep tonight.
Because Xian Tailang would be too restless.
And the reason for his restlessness was worry, of course.
Xian Tailang’s worries naturally stemmed from Su Mu.
As for Four Eyes, if it weren’t for Su Mu being a good friend of his, Xian Tailang at this moment wouldn’t be speaking so kindly and politely with Four Eyes.
If it were someone else, Xian Tailang would be threatening as soon as they disagreed on something.
To Xian Tailang, anyone who couldn’t overpower him was not worth considering.
Because Xian Tailang knew, with the same abilities, he was definitely first-rate at being shameless.
No one really could surpass Xian Tailang in that respect.
"Why? To be honest, my girlfriend really is very beautiful. Xian Tailang, could it be that you think I don’t post a frontal photo of my girlfriend because she’s not good-looking?"
"If that’s the case, I should definitely apologize to Su Mu tomorrow. After all, if you, Xian Tailang, can’t see it, you might go around claiming my girlfriend isn’t beautiful."
Four Eyes saw that Xian Tailang kept avoiding the main point, and of course, he wasn’t going to just let the matter end there following what Xian Tailang said.
Now it turned out that Xian Tailang did not dare ask Four Eyes for a frontal photo of his girlfriend.
But Four Eyes had begun actively extolling how beautiful his girlfriend was.
When Xian Tailang saw the messages from Four Eyes, he truly felt a sense of indescribable frustration.
Xian Tailang knew that if Four Eyes really wanted to show him a frontal photo of his girlfriend, he wouldn’t have needed to say so much beforehand.
Keep in mind, even when Xian Tailang had resorted to threats, he hadn’t seen Four Eyes loosen up and agree to send any photos.
But now, when Xian Tailang had made it clear he didn’t want to see it, Four Eyes had strangely insisted on pushing Xian Tailang to look.
Of course, Four Eyes didn’t directly post his girlfriend’s picture on social media for Xian Tailang to see.
Four Eyes was insisting that Xian Tailang ask Su Mu for it.
In fact, to put it bluntly, Four Eyes was using Su Mu to force Xian Tailang.
Xian Tailang had also understood the reason why Four Eyes kept focusing on him relentlessly.
Wasn’t it just because Xian Tailang hadn’t given Four Eyes a satisfying apology?
Grinding his teeth, Xian Tailang knew he couldn’t avoid this situation any longer.
Compared to offending the Su Family, Xian Tailang knew his own pride was not worth mentioning at all.
"Four Eyes, I’m sorry. I apologize for what I said earlier. You don’t have to trouble Su Mu anymore. I really don’t dare to look at your girlfriend’s photo."
Since he knew he had to apologize to get through this, Xian Tailang didn’t beat around the bush this time.
Although Xian Tailang knew that his old high school classmates were all silently watching.
Because they had initially blocked Xian Tailang, but he hadn’t blocked anyone.
So from beginning to end, Xian Tailang could see clearly all the messages that were posted in Four Eyes’ social circle.
Xian Tailang knew as well that out of curiosity about what he would do, almost everyone had unblocked him by now.
That is to say, everyone else could see clearly the apology Xian Tailang was making to Four Eyes.
At this moment, Xian Tailang wished everyone had just kept him blocked.
Anyway, after this incident passed, those classmates would block him again.
It would’ve been better to let everyone see less of his embarrassments.
Regrettably, this was just Xian Tailang’s wishful thinking; the power to decide wasn’t in his hands.
Whether others chose to block you and when they did really depended on their mood.
Today, Xian Tailang had completely and utterly lost face.
"Four Eyes, I truly apologize to you and hope you can accept it."
Seeing no response from Four Eyes, Xian Tailang had no choice but to send another message.
There was no helping it; at that moment, Xian Tailang’s proud head could no longer be raised.
