At the start, I had to choose one of four options, and I immediately picked the Brahmin from the cou

As he spoke, Sun Kai actually reached out and grabbed Chen Xiaoxue's arm.

"You're asking for it!" Old Xu's eyes flashed coldly, and he grabbed the ice bucket from the table, ready to smash it. Wang Lei also stood up, and the atmosphere instantly became tense. Several security personnel rushed over from all sides, but because both sides were rich second-generation heirs they couldn't afford to offend, they didn't dare to intervene for the time being.

"Sun Kai, have you made enough of a scene?"

At this critical moment, a clear, low voice, yet one that left no room for doubt, came from the darkest corner of the booth.

Gu Mingyuan slowly stood up. He didn't reach for any weapons, and not even the hem of his clothes was ruffled. He stood there quietly under the laser lights, his gaze behind his gold-rimmed glasses like a sharp blade, piercing straight at Sun Kai.

Sun Kai, who had been arrogant and domineering, sobered up considerably after recognizing that the person who spoke was Gu Mingyuan, and his arrogance froze.

"Young Master Gu...?" Sun Kai swallowed hard, his arrogant demeanor forced down. The Gu family's influence in Jianye was deeply entrenched, with connections in both the legitimate and underworld circles. Even if he had ten times the courage, he wouldn't dare to act recklessly in front of Gu Mingyuan.

"Brother Mingyuan, this has nothing to do with you. It's Zheng Hao who stole my man before. I'm here today to get back at him!" Although Sun Kai was intimidated, he still stubbornly insisted on his words.

Gu Mingyuan, with one hand in his suit trouser pocket, walked up to Sun Kai, looking down at him with a cold, authoritative tone:

"I'll say it again, get out."

Those six simple words seemed to carry an immense weight. Sun Kai's face turned pale and then flushed, a flicker of extreme struggle and resentment flashing in his eyes, but in the end he didn't dare take another step forward.

In the Jianye second-generation circle, Sun Kai is, to put it bluntly, a "poop-producing machine" deliberately spoiled by his family.

The Sun family does indeed wield considerable influence in the southern part of Jianye City, monopolizing several large chain KTVs, and their assets barely reach the threshold of several hundred million.

However, in the Sun family, a traditional family full of江湖气 (jianghu spirit) and scheming, the most important thing is the order of seniority. Sun Kai has an extremely shrewd and capable older brother who was groomed as the family successor from an early age and firmly controls the Sun family's most core accounts and connections.

As the second son, Sun Kai's only education from childhood was being spoiled and pampered to the point of ruin.

As long as he doesn't interfere in the family business, doesn't try to touch the core of the family's power, and doesn't threaten his elder brother's position, he can have a sports car if he wants one, and he can have money if he wants one. He can get millions of dollars in pocket money without batting an eye.

His parents and older brother spoiled him, feeding him with money and turning him into a complete good-for-nothing who was naive, arrogant, and only knew how to eat, drink, gamble, and whore.

A man like him can use his family's allowance to act like a big shot outside, which might fool some unsuspecting hostesses and escorts, but if he really runs into someone like Gu Mingyuan, who has long since taken over the core resources of his family and has connections in both the legitimate and underworld circles, his little bit of confidence is nothing at all.

As for the feud between him and Zheng Hao, the cause was simply absurd and laughable.

Just at the beginning of last month, in another top-tier nightclub in Xinjiekou, Sun Kai took a liking to a high-end escort who was new to the scene and extremely beautiful. He was preparing to spend money to buy her a Shenlong (a high-end champagne set worth tens of thousands of yuan) to show off and win her over.

As it happened, Zheng Hao, in order to celebrate the birthday of his subordinates, didn't even blink and casually ordered five sets of Ace of Spades Dragon Sets. He not only stole the limelight from everyone else, but even the woman who had been pretending to be reserved in front of Sun Kai took the initiative to hold a wine glass and sway her waist as she ran to Zheng Hao's booth to curry favor.

Feeling humiliated, Sun Kai went over and, fueled by alcohol, demanded the person back. However, Zheng Hao, in front of dozens of people, utterly humiliated him with his wealth.

Zheng Hao pointed at Sun Kai's nose and laughed as he cursed:

"You only get that meager monthly allowance, what are you pretending to be, some rich young master from Jianye? Do you really think you can call the shots at your dad's shabby places? Believe me, I'll throw money at your older brother tonight and make him cut your allowance tomorrow!"

Those words were like a sharp knife, precisely piercing Sun Kai's most vulnerable and painful weakness—although he was rich, he knew he was just a powerless, useless figurehead whose support could be cut off by his family at any time. From that day on, Sun Kai harbored a deep grudge against Zheng Hao and vowed to get his revenge.

But now, facing Gu Mingyuan, who is as unfathomable as an abyss, the arrogance that Sun Kai had been harboring, born from extreme inferiority, instantly deflated like a punctured balloon.

"Alright... Young Master Gu, I'll give you this face today."

Sun Kai clenched his teeth, the muscles in his cheeks twitching slightly from the exertion. He turned his head sharply, glaring venomously at Zheng Hao, who was being protected by Gu Mingyuan, and spat viciously.

"Hey Zheng, don't get cocky! If you're so tough, next time you go out, make sure you always have Young Master Gu on your side!"

After saying that, Sun Kai roughly shoved away the underling who was trying to help him, not even bothering to take the half-finished bottle of expensive Louis XIII. Like a stray dog ​​with its tail between its legs, he squeezed out of the black card area in a sorry state amidst the mocking gazes of a group of security guards and marketing staff.

What could have escalated into a brawl was effortlessly defused by Gu Mingyuan's cold gaze and five words.

"What kind of trash are you? You dare to yell at Brother Mingyuan?"

Old Xu chuckled, sat back on the sofa, and picked up his wine glass again, as if nothing had happened. Wang Lei shook his head as well, his face full of disdain.

Zheng Hao let out a long sigh of relief. Although he wasn't afraid of Sun Kai, if a fight broke out here, today's event, meant to support Lin Miaomiao, would be completely ruined. He picked up a glass of whiskey and raised his hand respectfully to Gu Mingyuan:

"Mingyuan, thank you for earlier."

"It was nothing. We're out having fun, there's no need to let trash like this spoil the mood." Gu Mingyuan replied indifferently, then sat back down in the dark corner, maintaining his aloof and superior demeanor.
