"You dare to hit me." Zhao Xinrong covered her burning cheek, seething with anger. She certainly did not think that Lin Rumei was saving her.
With so many socialites from Hong Kong Island present tonight, being slapped in public by Lin Rumei only fueled her rage. The commotion drew the attention of those around them, and most people began to criticize Lin Rumei, as it was inappropriate to resort to violence in such a setting.
Zhao Xinrong's parents, alarmed by their daughter's distress, hurried over and attempted to exert pressure using the Zhao family's influence. However, Lin Rumei and her father, Lin Shuang, remained unfazed. "I was saving her!" Lin Rumei coldly stated to Zhao Xinrong's parents.
"You hit my daughter and still dare to say you were saving her? Nonsense! Who do you think you are? Even the son of Hua Xia's Richest wouldn't be so arrogant," Zhao Xinrong's father shouted angrily.
If Lin Shuang and Lin Rumei had offered a polite apology, the Zhao family might have chosen to downplay the incident. But the Lin family not only resorted to violence but also presented a grandiose justification for it, which was infuriating.
"President Zhao, please don't be angry. We truly had your daughter's best interests at heart. You can offend anyone, but it's best not to offend Mr. Jiang," Lin Shuang advised earnestly.
"Lin Shuang, you're considered a prominent figure on Hong Kong Island. Why are you now so timid, showing such respect to a domestic youth? It's laughable," Zhao Xinrong's father scoffed.
"President Zhao, I am only advising you out of respect for our acquaintance. It would be wise to step back before Mr. Jiang gets angry," Lin Shuang said, stepping forward with an intense gaze.
The Zhao family members were somewhat intimidated by Lin Shuang; after all, he was an underground boss who operated in the shadows. Although the Zhao family was deeply rooted in Hong Kong Island, they still held a degree of caution towards these underground forces.
"Lin Shuang, don't go too far. Do you really think our Zhao family is afraid of you? You underground bosses are nothing significant; it's better for you to restrain yourselves," Zhao Xinrong's father retorted darkly.
"I have already shown restraint; otherwise, I would have let my fists do the talking," Lin Shuang said as he raised his fist, revealing a fierce glint in his eyes. As an underground boss, his imposing presence was undeniable; the Zhao family members were mere businessmen and could never match his ferocity.
However, being intimidated by Lin Shuang felt somewhat humiliating. Just as they found themselves in a difficult position, a voice rang out from afar.
"Who dares to cause trouble in my Liu family?" The crowd parted as several members of the Liu family descended the stairs.
The speaker was Han Baiying, the matriarch of the third branch of the Liu family and mother to Liu Toukang and Liu Jiyue. Since Liu Toukang returned from the Golden Triangle last year, the Liu family's pharmaceutical company had developed a divine medicine that garnered widespread acclaim for both brothers. Now, the third branch held the highest status within the Liu family.
With the patriarch bedridden and her sons thriving, Han Baiying had become the de facto leader of the Liu family, commanding respect from both the first and second branches. Today marked her son's engagement banquet, and having someone disrupt it left her quite displeased.
"Lin Shuang, the Liu family has arrived. I look forward to seeing whether they assist you or me," Zhao Xinrong's father sneered before quickly approaching Han Baiying to lodge his complaints against Lin Shuang.
