Return to the City: The Strongest King

Song Xiaodong thought if he ignored these people, they would just find it boring and stop bothering him.

But he really underestimated their boredom; their favorite pastime was finding entertainment. Once they considered something fun, they wouldn't stop until they'd had their fill.

Young Master Zhang, named Zhang Pingjia, had a family fortune of over a billion, and he was the only son—a typical second-generation rich kid.

In Beijing, there are many officials and wealthy people. Even with Zhang Pingjia's family background, he had no reason to be proud and had to be cautious when going out, afraid of offending anyone.

Besides, this guy was a bit petty and had researched the impressive young people in Beijing, deeply etching them in his memory to avoid offending them.

This also allowed him to successfully show off when needed.

Today, seeing Song Xiaodong, who wasn't among the notable figures in his memory, he naturally didn't take Song Xiaodong seriously and assumed he could show off in front of him.

Zhang Pingjia strutted over to Song Xiaodong and said arrogantly, "Do you know what that place up there is for?"

Song Xiaodong frowned and said, "Isn't it just a place to eat?"

Zhang Pingjia sneered and said, "Isn't it just a place to eat? You say it so lightly. Tell me, have you ever eaten there?"

"No." Song Xiaodong replied lazily.

"So do you think it's easy to just go in and have a meal?" Zhang Pingjia's eyes were filled with even more mockery.

Song Xiaodong's mood calmed down instead; since he couldn't avoid it, he might as well play along with them. He said, "Doesn't seem that difficult, does it?"

"Ha..." Zhang Pingjia burst into laughter, and his companions followed suit. A girl said flippantly, "Hey buddy, are you stupid? You need to recognize yourself. Even though this is just a restaurant, not any Tom, Dick, or Harry can get in."

Song Xiaodong said flatly, "Is that so? Then it seems like you Tom, Dick, and Harry are able to get in?"

"Damn! How dare you say that?"

"You dare insult us, are you tired of living?"

Those guys weren't dumb and immediately realized Song Xiaodong was insulting them and started shouting.

Zhang Pingjia waved his hand and said, "I couldn't tell, you're quite something. If you have the guts to eat there today, I'll be impressed."

Song Xiaodong's tone remained calm, but his words were already impolite, "Why do I need you to be impressed? What do you count for?"

"You sure are cocky, let me see how you get in there. If you can go in and eat, we'll let it pass. If you can't, for that remark alone, I won't let it slide."

Song Xiaodong shook his head, waved them off impatiently, and said, "You bunch of clueless kids, why don't you go cool off somewhere else."

Zhang Pingjia's expression turned somewhat ferocious, "Fine, just leave your name and see if I can deal with you."

Song Xiaodong snorted, "Are you even worthy?"

"Still pretending, not daring to leave your name."

"Exactly, our Young Master Zhang is giving you face by talking to you, yet you really think you're someone?"

Zhang Pingjia and his group were shouting when the boat from Lake Heart Villa arrived. Nᴇw ɴovel chaptᴇrs are published on nοvelfire.net

"Dear guests, please board the boat."

Zhang Pingjia and his group immediately quieted down. Zhang Pingjia glared at Song Xiaodong and said, "Kid, you've offended me. Even if you don't say your name, don't think you can escape. I'll find you eventually."

Then he waved his hand and they boarded the small boat.

Song Xiaodong didn't expect them to just leave like that. It seemed dining at Lake Heart Villa was quite important to them.

Actually, Song Xiaodong was overthinking it. For them, having a meal here was just a chance to show off, at least for Zhang Pingjia and his group.

They had long wanted to dine here but never managed to get a spot. Now they'd finally got one, they naturally wanted to flaunt a bit, so seeing Song Xiaodong standing alone, they couldn't help but want to display their superiority.

But once Lake Heart Villa's boat arrived, they were also afraid that something unexpected might happen and they'd miss their chance, so they obediently boarded first to have their meal, to continue showing off in front of other companions later.

As Song Xiaodong watched them head to Lake Heart Island, Yang Yushi's voice finally came from behind, "Xiaodong, sorry to keep you waiting."

Song Xiaodong turned around and saw two beauties. One was Yang Yushi, whom he had met a few times, and the other was a tall girl in casual wear.

She must be about 1.75 meters tall, definitely very tall for a girl. If she wore high heels, she would be over 1.80 meters, making any man standing before her feel inadequate.

Her long black hair was tied into a ponytail, looking neat and fresh. Her looks were definitely not inferior to Yang Yushi, but she exuded a more ethereal and transcendent vibe.

This must be Chu Xianling. Seeing her, Song Xiaodong suddenly thought of Qingluan. Both were experts and beauties, but the impression they gave was quite different.
