In fact, contrary to what outsiders might think, while Kyoto's social circle seems large, the young masters and ladies within it rarely have close connections. This structure has been built over several generations, so breaking it is no easy task.
Therefore, it often happens that they have only heard of such a person. They might feel a sense of familiarity upon meeting, but they don't actually know each other and rarely interact.
At this moment, Wu Tian was sizing up Chen Xiuxiu, suddenly recalling something, and frowned, "Are you from the Chen Family?"
"How did you know?" Chen Xiuxiu also frowned.
Wu Tian forced a smile, thinking that besides that dead fatty Wang Lubo, who else in Kyoto is as fat as you?
But this was obviously not something he could say to her face. He might not fear the Wang Family, but with the Chen Family's three generations in the military, things could easily turn serious.
"Feihu mentioned having a younger sister, and the traits he described match you exactly." Wu Tian's tone softened.
Feihu, whom he referred to, was indeed Chen Xiuxiu's elder brother, Chen Feihu, a feared figure among the playboys in the Kyoto circle!
"Is that so?" Chen Xiuxiu pressed on, "How did my brother describe me?"
Wu Tian looked troubled: "Well..."
Not to mention that Chen Feihu never actually described Chen Xiuxiu. Even if he had, Wu Tian wouldn't dare to say it. How could he possibly call her monstrously fat?
If word of this reached Feihu's ears, it would really be asking for trouble!
Fortunately, Chen Xiuxiu didn't dwell on the matter and instead said, "Repeat that insult you just said. I want to hear it again!"
Wu Tian quickly explained, "Don't misunderstand. I was cursing Wang Lubo earlier. Besides, my relationship with Feihu is so good that you, as his sister, are like a sister to me. How could I possibly curse you?"
"Even cursing Wang Lubo is not allowed!" Chen Xiuxiu glared: "He is my fiancé. If you curse him, it's as if you're cursing me."
Wang Lubo immediately panicked, habitually glanced around, and hurriedly grabbed Chen Xiuxiu, saying, "You really shouldn't say that. If Qianqian hears, what will I become?"
Wu Tian knew that the Qianqian Wang Lubo mentioned was actually Miao Yueqian, and this was no secret. Almost everyone in the Kyoto circle knew how devotedly Wang Lubo had pursued Miao Yueqian for many years, yet had never won her over.
What puzzled Wu Tian was why Chen Xiuxiu didn't react much after hearing what Wang Lubo said. What was going on here?
But no matter what, due to his fear of Chen Feihu, Wu Tian decided it'd be better to leave first. He then looked at Wang Lubo and sneered, "Fate will bring us together again—I doubt there won't be a time when I encounter you alone, so don't blame me for being ruthless then."
Wang Lubo was immediately displeased, "Anyone can boast. I don't believe you would actually dare to kill me!"
Xiao Feng and others exchanged glances. While Wang Lubo's tone sounded strong, why did the content make him seem so cowardly?
"Then just wait and see if I dare to kill you." Wu Tian fiercely said, then snorted coldly and walked towards the hotel exit.
Liu Zeng and others were a bit unsettled; their primary aim was to provoke conflict between Wu Tian and Xiao Feng, not against Wang Lubo.
Right then, Song Keren entered the hotel, and Wu Tian's eyes became fixed on her, unable to look away.
He had already recognized Song Keren as the blind date his family arranged for him from the photo, but he didn't expect her to be even more beautiful than the picture, leaving him utterly amazed!
As they brushed past each other, Wu Tian reached out to block Song Keren's path, "You must be Commissioner Song, right? I'm Wu Tian. You must have heard of me."
Song Keren was somewhat surprised. Only at noon did Song Zhengbo mention Wu Tian to her, and she hadn't expected to meet him in person before the family had made arrangements.
However, seeing the supposedly gentleman-like smile on Wu Tian's face, Song Keren couldn't hide her disgust, "I don't know you, and I don't know what you're talking about, move aside!"
After leaving that line, Song Keren was about to move forward.
Yet Wu Tian stubbornly blocked her entirely, "It's fine if you don't recognize me, but surely you know the Wu Family?"
"There are plenty of families with the surname Wu, at least five hundred households in Jiangcheng alone. If I had to know each one, what kind of memory would that require?" Song Keren said with a blank expression.
"You!" Wu Tian was so enraged he couldn't speak, realizing that Song Keren was deliberately playing dumb, twisting his reference to a family into meaning every household.
In his burning anger, Wu Tian spoke coldly, "Playing dumb, eh? Once you're married, you'll be part of my Wu Family. I hope you can keep up this act."
Song Keren's face changed, yet she heard Wu Tian continue, "Don't forget, it was your Song Family that took the initiative, marketing you like a product. The leverage is in our Wu Family's hands."
Just as he finished saying that, Xiao Feng, who hadn't spoken until now, approached Song Keren and criticized, "Look at you, what kind of manners are these?"
Song Keren was completely bewildered, wondering how this suddenly became a matter of manners.
Wu Tian and Liu Zeng, along with others, also couldn't quite grasp Xiao Feng's intention of forcefully changing the topic.
Seeing Song Keren's puzzled expression, Xiao Feng said irritably, "What are you looking at? Not convinced?"
"Why don't you tell me, how am I lacking manners?" Song Keren angrily retorted, "If you can't explain, then you better prepare to get beaten."
Xiao Feng chuckled lightly, then glanced at Wu Tian, "Isn't it obvious? You're talking to a dog, what else can it be but lacking manners?"
As soon as he said that, the entire room fell into an uproar. Liu Zeng and the others couldn't believe their ears. Xiao Feng actually dared to call Wu Tian a dog?!
After the initial shock, they were filled with joy. Liu Zeng and others hadn't expected things to escalate so smoothly, realizing they didn't even need a plan.
"How dare you insult me?" Wu Tian raged, "Do you know what standing I have? Killing you is easier than squashing an ant."
Xiao Feng retorted with a cold smile, "Anyone can boast. You have three seconds to decide: either apologize to my brother or prepare to be carried out."
"Brother Feng!" Wang Lubo looked at Xiao Feng in disbelief, seemingly not expecting him to stand up for him, and the word 'brother' touched Wang Lubo deeply, making him feel his blood begin to boil.
However, the next moment, Wang Lubo regained clarity. After all, Xiao Feng was facing Wu Tian, whose Wu Family was powerful, rivaling even the Wang Family, if not surpassing it.
Moreover, Wu Tian himself was ruthless and petty. Getting involved with such a person invited endless trouble!
Just as Wang Lubo was considering how to resolve the situation, Wu Tian spoke, "You see a fat pig as your brother? Hahaha, that's hilarious. If the pig is your brother, doesn't that make you a pig as well?"
Wu Tian laughed recklessly, bending over, completely unaware that Xiao Feng's eyes were growing increasingly dangerous.
Liu Zeng and the others wanted to join in the laughter, but feared being targeted by Xiao Feng, so they awkwardly stood there, not daring to laugh out loud.
"Slap!"
A resounding slap brought everyone back to reality, and after realizing what happened, Liu Zeng and the others looked wide-eyed at Wu Tian, who had collapsed to the ground, screaming, finding it all surreal.
Wu Tian's one side of the face was swollen, and he glared at Xiao Feng like he was spitting fire, "You bastard... ah!"
But his curse was cut off midway, receiving another kick from Xiao Feng, sending him flying five meters across the smooth floor like a rocket.
Liu Haiping quickly went to support Wu Tian, "Wu Bro, are you okay?"
Wu Tian slapped him in response, "You claim to have power in Jiangcheng? Call someone to kill this guy, and I'll handle any follow-up!"
At this point, Wu Tian was truly blinded by anger. Born into a prestigious family, wherever he went, people treated him politely. Never did he expect to hit a snag in mere Jiangcheng this day.
