My Arrogant Young Lady

As darkness fell, Zhang Xuan's phone rang. "Zhang Xuan, my talented lady, I've already made a reservation at the best Western restaurant on Hong Kong Island. Would you do me the honor of coming over for a meal?"

That voice belonged to Young Master Hou.

Hearing Hou Gongzi's words, Zhang Xuan's heart skipped a beat. At this moment, Hou Gongzi was like a persistent ghost to her. When they collaborated again, Hou Gongzi, along with several company owners, refused to invest, which had already caused Zhang Xuan a hidden loss. If she were to refuse Hou Gongzi's invitation again, and then fail to give the chairman a reply, she would definitely lose her job.

Even her mother pressured her at home.

No, she absolutely cannot lose this job. She has to work hard; she has to find a way to keep it.

She thought that with her intelligence, she could keep her job. But she didn't know that she was no match for those rich people.

If she makes concessions, she will gradually fall into their trap. She is not from this world; she can never be a match for those cunning and shrewd individuals.

To keep her job, Zhang Xuan changed into a pretty long dress. She then did some simple makeup, left the hotel, and took a taxi to the Western restaurant.

When Young Master Hou saw Zhang Xuan, who had come for their appointment, sitting in the Western restaurant, he couldn't help but reveal a wicked smile.

Zhang Xuan, she's taken the bait...

Chapter 400 My Position

There was something that Young Master Hou had put in the red wine that Zhang Xuan drank. Once Zhang Xuan drank it, she would lose consciousness in half an hour. At that point, Young Master Hou would be at his mercy.

Hou Gongzi wasn't afraid at all about doing that to a girl like Zhang Xuan. In his eyes, he simply didn't believe Zhang Xuan was a virgin. After all, Zhang Xuan was so beautiful; Hou Gongzi couldn't believe that she was an adult and hadn't been touched by a man. In his mind, if he could touch Zhang Xuan once, he could touch her a second time. As for if Zhang Xuan made a fuss, he could just buy her a few bags to appease her.

Listening to the elegant sound of the violin, Young Master Hou's smile deepened as he watched Zhang Xuan's face flush even more. Zhang Xuan had already drunk her red wine. In just half an hour, he could take her away.

At that moment, a familiar voice suddenly came from opposite Hou Gongzi, "Do you still have any seats left here?"

"I'm sorry, we're out of them." A waiter said politely.

When that man spoke, he had his back to Zhang Xuan. But Young Master Hou was facing Zhang Xuan, and he had already clearly seen the young man's face at the door.

Yes, it's him. He's the godfather that Shanshan mentioned last time.

Even though his hair had been dyed black, he still couldn't forget that face. And the last time he heard Shan Shan call him godfather, he was terrified.

He quickly inquired with Young Master Wang and was relieved to hear that everything was alright.

Damn it. Why is this guy here again? What a coincidence, I see him everywhere I go.

He stared intently at the young man's face, only feeling relieved after watching him leave the Western restaurant. This young master Hou was a clever man; seeing the young man's anxious expression, he suspected he might have some connection to Zhang Xuan.

That's right, he must have some connection with Zhang Xuan.

Last time, he had just finished cursing Zhang Xuan when the beautiful woman next to him said she would teach him a lesson. And this time, with Zhang Xuan right in front of him, the young man came over again.

If it wasn't for Zhang Xuan, who else could it be for?

This young man is definitely not Shanshan's godfather. He must be one of Shanshan's friends who saw him being bullied last time and deliberately stood up for him.

Damn it, you loser, you think you can steal my woman? You can't even get into a Western restaurant, and you think you can compete with me?

Thinking of this, a wicked smile appeared on Young Master Hou's face.

"Damn it, they won't let me in because there are no seats available," I said, standing at the entrance of the Western restaurant.

"Damn it, they actually dare to stop our Wang family patriarch from entering? I think they don't want to keep this Western restaurant open anymore. I'll call two hundred of my henchmen and smash this restaurant to pieces!" Volcano Bro outside the door immediately said to me.

By this time, Volcano was already the leader of the Red Gate. He had also participated in the great battle against Oda Seiji. Seeing how my father and I commanded the army to utterly defeat Oda Seiji's group, Volcano had begun to be completely convinced of my abilities and regarded me as a god in his heart.

I hadn't expected Zhang Xuan to be so troublesome. I'd only just arrived in Mingzhu City when I heard she was already on a business trip to Hong Kong with Mr. Hou from the OT Group. I immediately flew there and, to find Zhang Xuan as quickly as possible, contacted my father's good friend, Brother Yinxian, and Brother Huoshan, the leader of the Red Gate. Brother Yinxian and Brother Huoshan were local bigwigs with extensive connections. I only gave Brother Huoshan a photo of Zhang Xuan, and he immediately mobilized his thirteen top henchmen and twenty thousand Red Gate disciples to find her.

"Brother Xi, don't worry, I'll definitely take care of this for you. Just you wait, I'll get two hundred men right now to smash this Western restaurant. He even dared to touch your woman, I think that Young Master Hou is tired of living!" Volcano Bro said fiercely and domineeringly, his head of red hair blazing.

"Volcano Bro, young people just have big tempers. This Western restaurant is owned by a Justice of the Peace in Hong Kong. If you smash it up, you'll end up in jail. There are many ways to steal women. With the Wang family head's power, getting in is easy. Leave it to me..." Hearing Volcano Bro's words, Sinister Bro lit a cigar and laughed.

"Insidious? You think you can handle this?" Volcano Bro exclaimed in surprise.

"You've only just become the sect leader, haven't you? You don't know your power yet, do you? What a waste of such a good position. You should learn more from this old man." Taking a deep drag on his cigar, the cunning man's smile deepened.

Ten minutes, fifteen minutes—Young Master Hou sat in the Western restaurant, silently counting the time. After twenty minutes had passed, he couldn't help but start to get anxious.

In ten minutes, Zhang Xuan's drug would take effect. As soon as she lost consciousness, he would take her away immediately. The woman he had always wanted but could never have would finally belong to him tonight.

This young master Hou has no shortage of women, but the more unattainable something is, the more he desires it. Otherwise, he wouldn't enjoy his meals, and he couldn't help but dream of Zhang Xuan every night.

Zhang Xuan came to the dinner appointment simply because she didn't want to offend Young Master Hou any further. She was just a nobody, no match for a wealthy young master like him. She was just there for a meal, not wanting to deepen the conflict with Young Master Hou. She did come, but she didn't speak a word to him since she arrived.

She simply cut her steak quietly, feeling her body gradually weaken. Perhaps it was because she had gotten up too early that morning, and had just arrived in Hong Kong Island by plane before visiting the company; she was probably just too tired.

At that moment, feeling the burning gaze of Young Master Hou, she couldn't help but look up. When her eyes met his, fear immediately gripped her heart.

At that moment, the young master's gaze was like that of a jackal, fixed intently on her body, making her uncontrollably nervous.

She sensed it; she seemed to have fallen into one of Young Master Hou's traps. She might be in danger tonight.

No, she wants to leave.

Thinking of this, she couldn't help but want to stand up and leave. However, just as she was about to stand, she felt her legs go weak and she had no strength left. At this moment, she became even more anxious. She had already realized that there was something wrong with her wine. But she had no strength left, and she had become nothing more than fish on Young Master Hou's chopping board.

At that moment, a young man suddenly moved a chair over and sat down beside them. Smiling, the young man nodded slightly to Young Master Hou and said, "Hello, Young Master Hou, hello, Zhang Xuan."

"Wang Xi!?" Zhang Xuan's mind went completely blank the moment she saw that familiar face. At that moment, she felt like she was dreaming.

In an instant, scenes of the two of them growing up together as children flashed before her eyes like a series of paintings.

Wang Xi, it really is him.

This wasn't a dream; Wang Xi had actually come. He... had actually appeared right before her eyes.

Instantly, Zhang Xuan's originally flushed face turned pale. Her naturally rosy eyes darkened further, and something began to flicker in them; she couldn't help but feel an urge to cry.

It's been over two years. She's thought about this boy every single moment. Now, he's appeared before her eyes like a dream.

"Zhang Xuan, you've become even more beautiful." Seeing Zhang Xuan's surprised eyes and her slightly trembling body, I maintained my smile.

"How...how did you find me?" Zhang Xuan was already too weak to do anything else. Fighting back tears, she asked me in surprise.

“I came because I knew you were here,” I said with a smile.

"You came here specifically to see me?" Zhang Xuan asked me in surprise.

“Yes, I’ve been looking for you for over two years. I came here specifically to find you.” I nodded gently.

"So, you haven't forgotten me after all. You've been looking for me all along..." Upon hearing my words, Zhang Xuan's body trembled even more violently.

"Kid, how did you get in here?!" Suddenly, a cold voice came from beside me.

"They came in," I said.

"I'm asking you, how did they let you in when you didn't have a seat in this restaurant?" Young Master Hou was about to succeed, but my sudden appearance ruined his plans, and he couldn't help but grit his teeth and glare at me fiercely.

“I have a seat.” I smiled.

"Bullshit! I clearly saw you come and ask, and they told you there were no seats, then you left. How come you got a seat in such a short time? You're fucking lying to me! This restaurant is the most prestigious restaurant on the entire Hong Kong Island; people without status and influence can't get a reservation here!" At this point, Young Master Hou immediately stood up and roared, "Waiter, what's going on? How did you let a nobody like you sneak in?"

Upon hearing Young Master Hou's words, many members of the surrounding elite couldn't help but look at him. The waiter, in particular, strode over, his expression slightly unpleasant.

"Boy, you dare to come here and try to steal my woman? You wait, I'll kick you out right now!" As the waiter approached, Young Master Hou's face broke into a sinister grin once more.

Chapter 401 One Hundred Million

"Who is this person, and why is he making such a scene here?" A middle-aged gentleman in a suit pulled over a waiter and asked.

Those who can afford to dine at Hong Kong Island's top restaurants are mostly wealthy and influential. As a regular customer, the middle-aged gentleman could easily recognize many of the high-society figures in the restaurant.

Seeing Young Master Hou throwing a tantrum here, the middle-aged gentleman couldn't help but frown slightly.

“Mr. Smith, the one making a fuss is a man from Mingzhu, the only son of the Hou family in Mingzhu, China,” the waiter whispered.

"What? He's actually the only son of the chairman of OT Group?" The middle-aged gentleman was slightly surprised.

This middle-aged gentleman was a high-ranking executive at a large conglomerate in Hong Kong, and he knew most people with a net worth exceeding a billion. This young master of the Hou family was already worth over a billion, and even though he lived far away in Mingzhu City, the gentleman had still heard of him. Now, seeing the young master Hou raging at me and the waiter, the gentleman couldn't help but feel sorry for me. He'd heard that the young master Hou from Mingzhu City was not only wealthy but also had considerable connections there. This time, I'd offended the young master Hou; I was probably in for trouble.

Our waiter, who had just arrived, couldn't help but change his expression slightly as he watched Young Master Hou's outburst. When Young Master Hou noticed the whispers around him about his identity and the respectful attitude shown to him by the arriving waiters, he pointed at me menacingly and said, "What's going on here? Aren't people without seats not allowed in? How did you let this loser in? Why didn't you kick him out immediately?"

"Young Master Hou... this..." Upon hearing Young Master Hou's words, the attendant couldn't help but appear somewhat embarrassed.

"Wang Xi, thank you..."

At this moment, Zhang Xuan was still sitting in her chair. She saw Young Master Hou yelling at her. This made Zhang Xuan feel uncomfortable. Twenty-five minutes had passed, and Zhang Xuan's eyes were now glazed over; she was almost fainting. She wanted to stand up to help me out, but as soon as she moved, she felt weak all over, as if she had no strength left.

In Zhang Xuan's mind, I was very wealthy, but not necessarily as wealthy as Young Master Hou. Her impression of me consisted only of An Yao driving a Mercedes and a minivan, and the fact that our Wang family came from abroad and was a powerful family overseas. She also knew I had an uncle who was a powerful figure in the northern underworld. But Zhang Xuan knew nothing else. Even I didn't know that my father was Wang Yang, a world-renowned figure, a powerful tycoon capable of destroying Oda Seiji, until Zhang Xuan left.

In her view, as long as she could stay at LL Group and work hard, as long as she could afford sports cars and mansions, she could compete with me. At that point, she wouldn't be worse off than An Yao, nor worse off than me. I am rich, but my money was earned by my parents. Her money, however, was earned through her own hard work. She would no longer need to feel inferior in front of us; as long as she could earn sports cars and mansions, she would have the right to flaunt her wealth in front of me.

She was deeply moved to see me appear before her to save her and rescue her from her predicament. However, she still harbored some distrust towards me, fearing that I was no match for Young Master Hou.

Seeing Zhang Xuan express her gratitude, I couldn't help but lower my head and look at her gently. At that moment, the young master Hou coldly said, "You don't even have a seat, yet you dare to be arrogant with me? But arrogance comes at a price; I can kick you out right now!"

“Young Master Hou, you cannot throw this gentleman out.” After hearing Young Master Hou’s words, the waiter thought for a moment and finally mustered up his courage to speak.

"Why?" Young Master Hou looked at him coldly.

In his eyes, the waiter was nothing more than a lowly waiter. And indeed, the waiter couldn't afford to offend him; even working in the most upscale restaurant on Hong Kong Island, the waiter's monthly salary was less than that of Young Master Hou.

But seeing how aggressive Young Master Hou was, the waiter finally couldn't help but speak up, "Because this gentleman has a seat here."

"There are seats available?" Young Master Hou asked in surprise.

Just as Young Master Hou was surprised, many of the upper-class people who had been drawn to us couldn't help but look around. The entire Western restaurant was already packed; there wasn't a single empty seat left.

At that very moment, four waiters suddenly carried a table out from behind. Their expressions were very serious as they carried it. The table was set like the others, with candles and a pair of Western-style dinner plates.

"This is the seat for this gentleman," said the waiter beside us after the four waiters placed the table on an open space.

"What!?" At this moment, the young master Hou's expression changed.

Upon seeing that the four waiters had specially added a table for me, not only did Young Master Hou's expression change slightly, but the expressions of all the upper-class people present also changed slightly.

There were no seats available, but the owner specially added a table for me because I wanted to eat here. What does this signify? It signifies that this young man wields immense power in their eyes. Someone who receives such privileges is not simply rich and powerful. This is the best Western restaurant on Hong Kong Island, and the owner is a Justice of the Peace. Such privileges are probably only afforded to the son of the Hong Kong Chief Executive and a few other powerful and influential figures.

"Who exactly is this young man?"

"He actually managed to get the owner here to add a table for him?"

As the waiters set out two more chairs for me, everyone immediately started whispering among themselves. They didn't recognize me, but they were already beginning to doubt my identity.

The young master Hou couldn't believe it. In his eyes, I was just an ordinary Interpol agent, someone who merely knew the famous actress Shan Shan, yet I managed to have an extra table specially prepared for me. For a moment, the young master Hou looked at me in astonishment and said, "Kid, you seem to be quite wealthy?"

"So-so," I smiled.

"But does having money make you superior? Just because you have money doesn't mean you can add a table here. Damn it. I'm rich too. I'm paying the owner to get you out of here!" Gritting his teeth, Young Master Hou glanced at Zhang Xuan, who was almost unconscious, and said.
