Chapter 119: Whose Home Ground?

"..."
Wang Yiqing paused, taken aback by Fang Chang's words.
How dare Fang Chang?
Even though he'd heard Fang Chang was arrogant, seeing him in person was a different story.
Did Fang Chang not know who he was?
Thinking this, Wang Yiqing sneered, "Fang Chang, seeing is believing. I knew you were arrogant, but I didn't expect you to be like this..."
*Slap!*
His words trailed off.
Luo Mingxiao stared wide-eyed, incredulous at the scene before him.
Just moments before Wang Yiqing had finished speaking, Fang Chang had strode forward and slapped him hard across the face.
The force was so great that Wang Yiqing's face swelled up, his head tilted, his eyes slanted, and blood trickled from the corner of his mouth.
Fang Chang stood rooted to the spot, looking down at Wang Yiqing on the sofa: "Are you trying to play dumb with me? Since you know I'm arrogant, you dare to sit while I'm standing here."
"You clearly don't respect me!"
"..."
Wang Yiqing was stunned by the slap, only recovering after a long while. The burning pain brought tears to his eyes.
He abruptly turned his head, glaring at Fang Chang, spitting out saliva mixed with blood.
"Fang Chang! Do you know who I am?"
"No..."
Fang Chang shook his head, speaking calmly: "Although I don't know who you are, you're standing with Luo Mingxiao. What good can someone be standing with him?"
"Slapping you was the right thing to do."
"Luo Mingxiao..."
Wang Yiqing turned to look at Luo Mingxiao.
Previously, it was Luo Mingxiao's incompetence that caused this, and now, because of Luo Mingxiao, he'd been slapped.
Seeing Wang Yiqing's strange look, Luo Mingxiao panicked and blurted out, "Fang Chang! How dare you! This is Wang Yiqing, the young master of the Wang family from the capital!"
"You even dared to hit him! Are you crazy?"
"Oh..."
Fang Chang gave an "oh," looking completely indifferent. "You said you were from the capital, right? So, is he some kind of high-ranking official?"
"No, but..."
"Then is he some kind of royal relative?"
"No, but..."
"Alright, alright."
Luo Mingxiao tried several times to reveal Wang Yiqing's identity, but Fang Chang interrupted him each time.
Now, Fang Chang spoke even more impatiently, "Since he's nobody, what's wrong with me hitting him? And... do you want to get slapped on the other side of your face too? And you're still sitting here, aren't you?"
As he spoke, Fang Chang raised his hand, as if to slap him.
Seeing Fang Chang's actions, Wang Yiqing instinctively stood up. He was genuinely scared; his face was still stinging.
"Hey~~~ That's more like it, isn't it? Good boy!"
Fang Chang sat down on the sofa, propping his legs up on the coffee table. His unbridled behavior caused everyone in the Luo family to frown.
Only then did Wang Yiqing realize what he had done, and his face flushed red with shame and anger.
He was about to reach out and pull Fang Chang up, but after seeing Fang Chang's eyes, his hand froze in mid-air.
"Look..."
Fang Chang turned to the surrounding scions of wealthy families: "A dog needs a couple of slaps, otherwise it'll just bar its teeth. If you don't hit it hard, it'll never know who its master is!"
If it were before, seeing Fang Chang's arrogant attitude, as if he were the only one in the family,
the people present would have been disgusted.
But now, they felt a strange sense of satisfaction!
After all, Wang Yiqing hadn't shown these Suzhou people any kindness before. Those who knew them knew they were from a wealthy Suzhou family; those who didn't would have thought they were beggars!
Everyone who greeted Wang Yiqing was ridiculed.
This had already fueled their resentment.
You're the young master of the Wang family from Beijing, that's true, but look at us, we're not some nobody!
You're usually a powerful figure in Suzhou, but here, you're being treated like a grandson by a junior.
Who wouldn't be angry?
Seeing Fang Chang so thoroughly humiliate Wang Yiqing, how could they not be delighted?
Their gazes towards Fang Chang softened considerably.
"Alright, tell me, what exactly is the purpose of this banquet?"
Fang Chang casually picked up an apple and took a bite.
Crunch!
The crisp sound and the sweet juice made the corners of his mouth turn up slightly.
Luo Mingxiao instinctively began to explain, "This banquet is mainly for... wait a minute!"
Halfway through his sentence, Luo Mingxiao suddenly realized his mistake and angrily shouted at Fang Chang, "This is a banquet hosted by my family, Fang Chang, stand up!!!"
"Hmm?"
Fang Chang frowned. "What's wrong with a banquet hosted by your family? Didn't you invite me?"
"Besides, you're getting so worked up over a mere apple from your family? Look how stingy you are. The Luo family can't even afford an apple? Fine, come here, wag your tail, and I'll give you this apple."
"Clang, clang..."
As he spoke, Fang Chang casually waved the apple in his hand, barking at Luo Mingxiao like he was calling a dog.
"You deserve to die!!!"
Luo Mingxiao gritted his teeth, glaring at Fang Chang.
Seeing the situation spiraling out of control, Mr. Luo addressed the main entrance in a deep voice, "Master Fang, Madam Fang, are you just going to stand there and watch?"
"This is the young master of the Wang family from Kyoto. Are you just going to let Fang Chang run wild?"
Hearing this, Mr. Fang, who had just entered, chuckled, "Fang Chang running wild? No, I don't think Fang Chang did anything wrong."
"He's just someone from Kyoto, not some official. Does my son need to be subservient to him?"
"As for being beaten, didn't he deserve it?"
"You…"
Mr. Luo was furious.
His son was unreliable, but his father was even more damn unreliable.
"Enough!!!"
Wang Yiqing was enraged to the extreme, his face flushed. He roared, and with a series of footsteps, many bodyguards dressed in black rushed out.
They were all bodyguards of the Wang family, their bodies enveloped in powerful energy.
Wang Yiqing coldly stared at Fang Chang: "Fang Chang, are you really courting death?! I order you to stand up now, and slap yourself until I'm satisfied!"
"Heh..."
Hearing Wang Yiqing's words, Fang Chang chuckled dryly, looking at Wang Yiqing as if he were an idiot.
"Do you want to listen to what you're saying?"
"Are you still half asleep, or are you just sleep-deprived? You're ordering me around, who do you think you are?"
"Kuduo? Kuduo!!!"
"Coming! Young Master!"
Thump thump thump...
Heavy footsteps sounded, and Kuduo quickly ran over, obediently standing beside Fang Chang: "Young Master, what are your orders?"
"See these people?"
Fang Chang pointed to the bodyguards around him.
"Is there a problem taking them out?"
Kuduo glanced at the bodyguards around him, then nodded, speaking in a serious tone: "No problem! Anytime!"
