The system only arrives when you're old? Then let's create a super-rich family!

Why am I here?

Qin Ziyang snorted coldly, slowly stood up, his eyes icy and his tone mocking.

"And you, Yang Xue? What are you doing here? You dressed up so carefully, having coffee with a strange man, and calling him 'Mr. Qi' at the same time. Are you on a date?"

Yang Xue's face turned pale instantly, her eyes darted around, and she hurriedly made up an excuse.

"I...I just came out to meet a friend, Qin Ziyang, don't overthink it! Mr. Qi was introduced by my mother's friend. We just chatted and had a cup of coffee."

After she finished speaking, she secretly glanced at Qi Yuzhou out of the corner of her eye: "Mr. Qi is a very nice and gentlemanly person. Don't talk about him like that. We are just ordinary friends who have just met."

"Ordinary friends?" Qin Ziyang laughed as if he had heard the biggest joke in the world, his laughter full of chilling sarcasm. "Yang Xue, you're really good at pretending. Even a white lotus flower can't act as well as you."

Looking at the hypocritical face before him, Qin Ziyang was filled with regret and anger.

He thought he had treated Yang Xue with all his heart, saving money to buy her gifts and give her living expenses. Seeing that she always stayed by his side, he thought he had found someone who truly cared for him. Little did he know that it was all an act by her to deceive him.

He recalled Wang Man's demand for a high bride price and Yang Xue's words of encouragement.

He now finally understood that Yang Xue was a complete gold digger, and that she probably only wanted to curry favor with the powerful and wealthy.

His sincerity, in her eyes, was perhaps nothing more than a worthless joke.

Called a "white lotus," Yang Xue's eyes instantly reddened, tears streaming down her face. She looked as if she had suffered a great injustice, her voice choked with sobs: "Qin Ziyang, how could you say that to me? I really didn't lie to you. We're just ordinary friends. Why won't you believe me?"

She continued to feign innocence, trying to gain sympathy with her tears, but her eyes kept glancing at Qi Yuzhou, hoping he would stand up for her.

Qi Yuzhou couldn't stand it any longer and stepped forward to block Yang Xue.

His face darkened as he looked at Qin Ziyang, his tone accusatory: "Sir, I am Qi Yuzhou. May I ask your relationship with Yang Xue? Isn't it excessive for you to use such words and tone to speak to a lady?"

Qin Ziyang glanced at him, his tone cold and sarcastic: "Who am I to her? I'm her boyfriend in name only."

These words instantly threw Yang Xue into a panic, causing her to forget her tears and her heart to pound wildly.

What she feared most was that Qi Yuzhou would find out about this. Once the secret was exposed, the goodwill she had painstakingly built in Qi Yuzhou's heart would be completely wiped out, and her dream of becoming a rich wife would be shattered.

She quickly defended herself, "Qin Ziyang, you and I have never been boyfriend and girlfriend. We are just ordinary friends."

"Just friends?" Qin Ziyang scoffed, his mockery undisguised. "When I gave you over a thousand yuan a month for living expenses, gave you gifts, bought you bags, went shopping with you, ate with you, and held your hand, why didn't you tell me we were just friends?"

"What, you're looking down on me now that you've found someone richer?"

Yang Xue was speechless, her face flushing red and then pale, but she remained defiant, retorting, "We're just close friends at best! Aside from holding hands a few times, nothing happened between us. How can that be considered boyfriend and girlfriend?"

After saying that, she glanced at Qi Yuzhou out of the corner of her eye again. Seeing that his expression was calm and showed no sign of joy or anger, she breathed a slight sigh of relief.

Qin Ziyang seemed to have heard the biggest joke in the world, raising an eyebrow and sneering, "Oh? You mean, I only have the right to speak after you hold hands with him, kiss him, and sleep with him, completing the act of betraying me? Is that what you mean?"

Qi Yuzhou had originally wanted to say a few words in defense of Yang Xue; why should a gentleman make things difficult for a woman?

Hearing Qin Ziyang speak so vulgarly, he couldn't hold back any longer and frowned, saying, "Qin Ziyang, is it? We're all adults; there's no need to speak so crudely. Let's save some face for each other. Shouldn't men be gentlemen?"

By this time, a number of tourists had already stopped to watch the spectacle.

Qin Ziyang didn't want to argue with Qi Yuzhou, but seeing him jump out and embarrass himself, he retorted sarcastically, "Then why don't you have your brother's or your younger brother's girlfriend or wife come out and talk to me about marriage? I hope you can be this polite and gentlemanly when you do."

"You're the kind of hypocrite who doesn't feel pain until the whip falls on him."

A normal person would be too embarrassed to run away in this situation, so how dare he offer an explanation and defend himself?

Qi Yuzhou was rendered speechless by the retort, and immediately became furious, yelling, "Watch your mouth!"

"What?" Qin Ziyang sneered, his tone full of disdain. "What, you're getting worked up just because this happened to your family? Where's your gentlemanly demeanor? Where's your magnanimity? Where's your composure?"

"If I were you, I would have left long ago out of embarrassment. How could I still have the nerve to stay with this woman who's pretending to be innocent?"

Just then, Ding Haifeng, the manager in charge of Geely, rushed over.

He smiled and stepped forward to persuade them, "Both of you are prominent figures, why make yourselves a laughing stock in public? Why not find a place to sit down and resolve the issue properly?"

Qi Yuzhou snorted coldly at Qin Ziyang, then turned to Ding and said imperiously, "Manager Ding, you've come at the perfect time! My father is Qi Liuhai, the chairman of Mingtang Group in Jiangbei City, and a level 16 member of your Emperor Hotel! You get these two rude people out of Emperor Hotel right now!"

"I think Mingtang Group is a pharmaceutical company, right? I remember its market value is about two billion yuan, which is quite a well-known company in Jiangbei City."

"Level 16 member? Aside from the two levels that are very difficult to enter, this is already at the top level, right? This young man's background is not simple."

Someone in the crowd exclaimed.

Then their gazes fell on Qin Ziyang and Zhang Xianglin.

"Are the people accompanying the young master dressed so plainly?"

"That camera only costs a little over 100,000, right? Even though both purchases are made on the seventh floor, the difference between them and a level 16 member is like heaven and earth."

"Judging from how aggressive that kid is, he's probably going to be kicked out of the Emperor Hotel soon."

When Yang Xue heard that Qi Yuzhou's family owned the Mingtang Group and that he was a Level 16 member of the Emperor Group, her eyes lit up with admiration and envy. This greatly satisfied Qi Yuzhou's vanity as a man and his sense of superiority in being admired.

Ding Haifeng's smile froze instantly, and his expression became extremely troubled.

On one side are the level 16 members of the Emperor Hotel, who have extremely strong spending power and cannot be offended; on the other side are the tourists who come to the Emperor Hotel to spend money, who are also the main force of consumption on the seventh floor. If they are kicked out directly, the Emperor Hotel's reputation will be completely ruined.

Ding Haifeng rubbed his hands together, trying not to offend either side. "They are also guests of the Emperor Hotel. It wouldn't be appropriate to just kick them out... How about I take you to a private room to sit down and have a proper chat?"

"What's wrong with it?" Qi Yuzhou's face darkened, his tone becoming increasingly arrogant. "My dad's a level 16 member, is he really inferior to two poor kids? If you don't make them get out, I'll file a complaint against you and have you pack your bags and leave!"

Qin Ziyang sneered, "Couldn't keep up the gentlemanly act anymore and got angry? You like to use your power to intimidate people, and you like to compare membership levels, huh?"

He remembered Qin Zihao telling him yesterday that his second uncle, Qin Mao, had the most prestigious membership level in the entire Emperor Hotel.

Furthermore, Grandpa Qin Zheng had mentioned that the dowry of hundreds of billions prepared for his second uncle was enough to crush all the wealthy families in Jiangbei City. How dare a small Mingtang Group be arrogant in front of him?

He looked at Ding Haifeng, who looked troubled, and directly instructed, "Check what level of membership this number is."

Qin Ziyang recited a string of numbers: "178***"

Ding Haifeng quickly took out his phone to check, and his expression changed drastically when he saw the name and membership level displayed.

"May I ask who Qin Mao is to you?" he asked cautiously.

Qin Ziyang said casually, "My second uncle."
