"A little game of rock, paper, scissors, suitable for entertaining children or earning some tips. I don't have the time or interest to play with you again."

Zhou Qi responded with disdain.

Tang Jiachen was so angry that he was shaking all over.

At this time, Huo Weiting turned to Li Jiaxin and said, "Jiaxin, I didn't expect you to come. Do you want to sit with us?"

"No need." Li Jiaxin's answer was extremely cold.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Li Jianan quietly told Zhou Qi:

"He is Huo Weiting, from the Huo family in Hong Kong, and my sister's favorite suitor. This time he is most likely coming for you. Due to the relationship between the two families, I can't interfere. You should be careful."

After being rejected, Huo Weiting turned his gaze to Zhou Qi, wanting to see how Zhou Qi would react when Su Rui introduced himself.

However, Zhou Qi did not react at all, as if he was hearing someone unimportant.

As the top young master in Hong Kong, Huo Weiting is the focus wherever he goes. He has never met someone who directly ignores him like Zhou Qi.

This made him feel uncomfortable, thinking that Zhou Qi was just pretending. What annoyed him even more was that Li Jiaxin was holding Zhou Qi's arm, which was obviously a provocation to him.

Huo Weiting's eyes turned unfriendly and he questioned Zhou Qi:

"In Hong Kong City, no one dares to look down on me like this. Do you know the consequences? I can give you a chance. Leave here now and I can pretend that I didn't see you."

Li Jiaxin's face turned grim, but before she could say anything, Li Jianan stepped forward and said:

"Mr. Huo, you're going too far. Can't you see I'm here too? We just walked down the red carpet together, and you let him go now. How can I, as the host, save my face?"

Huo Weiting was a little surprised. He didn't expect Li Jianan to speak for a guest from the mainland.

"Mr. Li, do you mean to protect him?" Huo Weiting asked.

“It’s not protection.”

Li Jianan explained: "He is a guest of our Li family, so of course I have to protect him. In addition, although you can pursue my sister, I suggest you not to show off your identity as a member of the Huo family."

"Before you, Tang Jiachen suffered a loss because of a similar thing. If you want to know the details, you can ask him. This can be regarded as a piece of advice for you."

Hearing this, Huo Weiting glanced at Tang Jiachen and sneered, "Are you comparing me to someone like him?"

Tang Jiachen's face became even uglier, but facing Huo Weiting's contempt, he dared not say anything.

"I don't care who you compete with, but I have to tell you now, if you dare to do anything to him, I must take care of it, understand?"

Li Jianan patted Zhou Qi on the shoulder: "Don't be afraid, I'm here."

Zhou Qi smiled, and Huo Weiting narrowed his eyes and looked at Zhou Qi:

“If you are a man, you should stand up for yourself instead of hiding behind the Li family. Isn’t that shameful?”

Li Jiaxin wanted to respond, but was stopped by Zhou Qi. Zhou Qi looked directly at Huo Weiting:

"You are the Huo Shao, one of the four great families in Hong Kong, right? The Huo family is indeed powerful, but you always emphasize your identity just to make others afraid of you because of your background.

To me, this is just childish and showy, and it doesn't interest me at all. It's not because I'm afraid of you, understand?"

Huo Weiting had never been taught a lesson like this before, and he was very angry. Zhou Qi's words seemed to say that he was not even worthy of attention, and he was even too lazy to pay attention to him.

"I'm from the mainland, and you say I'm childish and showing off. Very good, I admire your courage."

Huo Weiting's eyes were cold: "Since you think you are so powerful, do you have the courage to play with me?"

wonderful!

Tang Jiachen's eyes lit up as he watched from the side. He was just worrying about how to cause a conflict between Zhou Qi and Huo Weiting, but he didn't expect that this would happen on its own.

If you offend Huo Weiting, you will offend the entire Huo family.

Even with the support of the Li family, who can guarantee that the Li family will still speak for you in front of the Huo family?

The fight between the four great families, because of one person, the consequences are unimaginable. Without the protection of the Li family, you are nothing.

Before Su Rui could speak, Li Jiaxin had already grabbed his arm, stood in front of him and said to Huo Weiting:

"Zhou Qi is a guest of our Li family. If you continue to be so aggressive, I will think you are challenging our Li family."

Unlike Tang Jiachen, Huo Weiting understood that the interests involved were much more complicated and he must not allow the situation to escalate.

Li Jianan interrupted and said, "Let's take this bet."

Li Jiaxin was so angry that she couldn't speak, while Huo Weiting sneered. Tang Jiachen's eyes revealed a hint of sharpness.

But Li Jianan then made an unexpected suggestion:

"We accept your bet, but we decide the rules of the game, how about that?"

Huo Weiting responded doubtfully: "Go ahead."

"Row."

Li Jianan said: "Let's play rock-paper-scissors to decide the winner. One round will decide the winner. If I win, you leave, and vice versa."

Li Jiaxin couldn't help laughing out loud - her brother finally got it.

Huo Weiting seemed a little overwhelmed: "Mr. Li, are you kidding?"

"I was serious."

Li Jianan replied: "Didn't you agree to it? Now you want to go back on your word?" Huo Weiting was speechless for a moment.

Seeing this, Guan Siling persuaded him at the right time: "Mr. Huo, the banquet hasn't started yet. There are so many guests here. It's not worth getting into a conflict over this."

This sentence was said carefully, with a hint of belittling Zhou Qi, yet still being polite.

Despite this, she was still worried that Huo Weiting would transfer his anger to her.

However, Huo Weiting felt better after hearing this and said contemptuously:

"Indeed, it really lowers my status to argue with this country bumpkin. He doesn't even dare to make a sound and can only hide behind the Li family. What's the point of stepping on such a soft persimmon?"

Huo Weiting frivolously put his arm around Guan Siling's waist, gently pinched her waist with his fingers, then smiled at Zhou Qi and said:

"This is Guan Siling, the goddess in the hearts of you mainlanders. Now she is in my arms. Do you see the difference?"

Such actions and words made Guan Siling feel very uncomfortable, but she tried her best not to show it.

She knew that Huo Weiting did this to show off his status. To him, she was just a decoration to show his status.

The message Huo Weiting wanted to convey was simple:

In Hong Kong, he could easily do anything to the stars who were regarded as goddesses by mainlanders. This power distance could not be crossed. He looked forward to seeing the envy in Zhou Qi's eyes.

But Zhou Qi's reaction was beyond his expectations.

There wasn't a trace of envy in Zhou Qi's eyes. Instead, it was as if he was looking at an ignorant child.

He didn't understand the behavioral logic of these rich second-generations. Is this how they pursue idols?

At this time, there was a noise at the door. Li Jiaxin glanced at it and said to Zhou Qi, "My father is here. Let's go."
