Supremely Talented Tyrant-Chapter 757 - 756 Toast!

757: Chapter 756: Toast!

757 -756: Toast!

Looking at Zhao Fan’s pretentious display, Zhao Yating felt extremely disgusted inside.

Who here doesn’t know Li Ming is your man?

Everyone knows that without your instructions, Li Ming wouldn’t bother about all these at all.

Li Ming had already spoken those belittling words earlier, and even you, Zhao Fan, said quite a few.

But now you’ve suddenly changed your tune, insisting on apologizing to Hao Jian…

Anger flared in Zhao Yating’s eyes, she truly couldn’t fathom how someone could be so shameless, or should it be said, put on such a facade of integrity.

She had always thought it was simply a matter of incompatibility; that was why she wanted Hao Jian to be her boyfriend, hoping it would make Zhao Fan give up, but she had never expected that her actions would expose Zhao Fan’s hypocrisy!

“Alright, now that everyone is here, let’s officially start the birthday party!”

At such a moment, it was best to stop while ahead.

If things went too far, Zhao Yating might start to form a bad impression of him.

Zhao Fan definitely needed to avoid that.

So, when he saw that people were still looking at Hao Jian with contempt, Zhao Fan grandly waved his hand, signaling the commencement of the birthday party!

“Clap, clap!”

Gently clapping his hands, the originally dim lights in the bar paused for a moment, suddenly turned off, and then came back on.

In that brief moment, a twenty-layer cake stood tall in the center of the bar.

The entrance of this cake also signified the opening of the birthday party.

People began to offer their congratulations, and some girls in their prime even threw coquettish glances at Zhao Fan.

As the knife slowly cut through the cake, the birthday party reached its climax.

Watching Zhao Fan release the knife, Li Ming gave a wave to two bodyguards dressed in black suits, who immediately came forward to push the twenty-layer cake away from the main venue.

“Ladies and gentlemen!

The party!

Has started!”

Seeing the cake leave, Zhao Fan took a step forward and laughed out loud to everyone.

“Haha!

Happy birthday, Young Master Fan!”

“Come on!

Young Master Fan, let the brothers toast you first!”

“You step aside, if anyone’s toasting Young Master Fan, that should be us!

When is it your turn?!”

As Zhao Fan spoke, the bar erupted into a frenzy, with everyone eagerly trying to be the first to toast him.

After all, doing so could leave a deeper impression on Zhao Fan.

However…

“Haha, Young Master Fan, happy birthday!

Let me offer you a toast!”

While everyone was vying to be the first to toast Zhao Fan, Li Ming’s laughter carried over, prompting everyone’s expression to change and then resigning themselves to the situation.

It seemed that this toast would have to go to Li Ming.

Who else but Zhao Fan’s own man?

“You are thoughtful.”

Zhao Fan nodded and waved, and Li Ming took a swig of his cocktail.

Zhao Fan, due to a mild allergy to alcohol, could not drink it.

Or rather, it was rum, one of the bases in cocktails, that he was allergic to.

Seeing that they had no chance, the others withdrew their gazes from Zhao Fan and turned to toast each other, regardless of whether they were familiar with one another, discussing potential work collaborations or engaging in small talk.

In no time, the already lively bar became even more animated, with the throbbing electronic music playing uninhibited.

Yet, while everyone else was merrily toasting and drinking, they were consciously or unconsciously ignoring one person—Hao Jian.

Being at odds with Zhao Fan and due to his attire, they deemed Hao Jian to be nothing more than a lowly person.

Such an individual did not merit their attention or conversation.

Even when someone approached Hao Jian with a drink, they passed it directly to Zhao Yating beside him, intending to toast her while disregarding Hao Jian entirely.

After casually rejecting that person, Zhao Yating noticed everyone’s alienation toward Hao Jian, as if he didn’t exist among the people there.

“I’m sorry, I…

I shouldn’t have let you come…”

Seeing everyone’s veiled contempt for Hao Jian, Zhao Yating’s expression turned very sour.

She knew these people were all opportunists, hypocrites who were easy to see through, and she understood why they looked down on Hao Jian.

At the heart of it, the main reason was Zhao Fan.

As the most notable person that night, Hao Jian was criticized for his attire, and coupled with Zhao Fan targeting him right from the start, everyone saw it.

At Zhao Fan’s birthday party, getting close to Hao Jian was something no one would do unless their brains had short-circuited.

Thus, upon witnessing such a scene, Zhao Yating felt some regret, regretting that she had brought Hao Jian here.

She believed this guy probably had never experienced anything like this, had he?

“Since we’re here, let’s not talk that way.

I’ve seen plenty of situations like this,” Hao Jian reached out and ruffled Zhao Yating’s hair, speaking indifferently, “Since I agreed to your request, I naturally guessed what might happen.

But after going through all this, I demand that my compensation be doubled!”

“Double the compensation?

Did I ever mention giving you compensation?”

Although Zhao Yating knew in her heart that Hao Jian wouldn’t care about such matters—after all, one does not bother with the affairs of ants—the moment she heard Hao Jian bring up compensation, curiosity flickered across her face.

She remembered she hadn’t promised any compensation to Hao Jian, had she?

“This compensation is for a kiss from you, and now it’s doubled; that makes it two kisses!”

Hao Jian said these words in all seriousness, even making hand gestures to emphasize.

“Pervert!”

Facing the unexpected response from Hao Jian, Zhao Yating’s pretty face flushed instantly.

She quickly grabbed her purse and swung it at Hao Jian’s waist.

“Haha, I don’t care.

In any case, when we go back, I, Hao Jian, will certainly do it!”

Dodging Zhao Yating’s attack, Hao Jian stepped forward, enveloping Zhao Yating in an embrace, leaned close to her ear with a voice wrapped in a faint breath, and said, “You say we’re boyfriend and girlfriend, now, if we do something that couples are supposed to do, that would be okay, wouldn’t it?”

“Hmph!

If you dare, just worry that when I get back, I’ll tell Sister Qiushui how you groped me again.”

Caught off guard by Hao Jian’s sudden move, Zhao Yating’s ears reddened, and she let out a light snort, her tone carrying a threat.

F*ck!

Who is really being handsy here?!

You two women have been handsy with me all along, and I haven’t said a word; now, just because I touched you a bit, you claim I’ve groped you?!

What kind of messed-up logic is that!

“Oh?

Still talking back?!”

Seeing Hao Jian about to speak, Zhao Yating quickly seized the opportunity and preemptively spoke up, heaven knows what other blush-inducing words this guy might spout.

With so many people around, there was no way she could let him have his way!

“I…”

Jolted by Zhao Yating’s rebuke, the words that reached his lips were swallowed back, and immediately Hao Jian opened his mouth, wanting to say something in retort, but found his mind suddenly blank, unsure of what to say to the girl.

As the two flirted and squabbled, they didn’t notice that one pair of eyes had been watching them the entire time—those eyes belonged to Zhao Fan.

Watching the two flirt without a care for the surroundings, Zhao Fan’s face grew darker.

He had initially hoped that making these guests deliberately alienate Hao Jian would reveal a look of inferiority in front of Zhao Yating.

This way, Zhao Yating would see that her boyfriend was really unreliable.

But unexpectedly, this guy had reacted in such a way, flipping an awkward situation before Zhao Yating on its head.

No, this can’t go on!

He had to make Zhao Yating see that this guy was a scumbag!

His hand clutching the glass trembled, and Zhao Fan’s face became increasingly somber—only managing a smile when some guests approached him, but frowning whenever he was alone.

Then, as if struck by a thought, he gestured to Li Ming at a distance.

Understanding the signal, Li Ming nodded in acknowledgment, then walked to the bar and picked up a cocktail.

Kid, now I want to see how long you can hold out in front of Zhao Yating!

Clinging onto a strong leg isn’t wrong, but you clung onto the wrong person!

Seeing Li Ming’s action, Zhao Fan’s face eased a bit, and he watched Hao Jian with a cold smirk, a smug curve forming at his lips.

If this worked out, it was his turn to make a good impression in front of Zhao Yating.

With her help in the future, wouldn’t it be easy to secure the Zhao family’s vast wealth?

As Zhao Fan fantasized, Li Ming had already approached Hao Jian with the drink in hand, saying with a grin, “I’ve heard this brother can hold his liquor incredibly well, not drunk after a thousand cups!”

“In that case, let’s just say I was confused from drinking earlier, and pretend none of it happened.

Here, I’ll apologize to the brother right here.”

Li Ming spoke casually, his words lacking any sign of remorse, his demeanor radiating with an arrogant sense of being second only to the best in the world, not even showing the sincerity expected in an apology.

However, as soon as he mentioned Hao Jian’s tolerance of a thousand cups, a commotion erupted among the group of guests standing behind him!
