Dai Li knocked the table over, resulting in the wine and the liquor falling and splashing all over the floor.

He covered his chest in pain and looked as pale as paper. Looking at Lu Huaiyu, his eyes were full of fear while his voice sounded heavy as if he was being choked. He dared not even groan in pain.

The dinner hall was doused in dead silence, the air almost frozen by the intense tension.

Lu Huaiyu looked down on Dai Li with his sharp and cold gaze. He said in a flat tone, “She said she didn’t want to. Are you deaf?”

He had brought her here himself, and everyone in the hall saw it clearly. He thought he was making himself known, but it seemed like he was not being clear enough.

Cheng Xiyue nervously glanced at Lu Huaiyu, his eyes twitching helplessly. ‘How long has it been since he got so angry? How stupid of Dai Li! Out of everyone, why must he offend Ning Li?!’

If Lu Huaiyu decided to be ruthless, even those in the capital would fear him, let alone now. Dai Li must have mistaken Lu Huaiyu for someone with a good temper.

Then, a middle-aged man anxiously came over, sweating nervously as he said, “Second Master Lu, my son doesn’t mean to offend you. This is a misunderstanding, a misunderstanding!”

The man was Dai Li’s father, Dai Shengquan.

The Dai family was considered one of the richest families in Yunzhou though not in the same league as the Lu family from the capital.

Dai Shengquan thought he could seek out favors, but his son had offended Lu Huaiyu in the blink of an eye. Being a smart man, he quickly apologized to Ning Li.

“Ms. Ning, I’m so sorry about this. My boy might be a little unruly, but he doesn’t mean ill!”

Ye Ming frowned and looked at Su Yuan.

The Dai family was considered a business associate to the Ye family. If the situation was exacerbated, it would do no good to either side.

Su Yuan took a deep breath and said, “Ning Li, this should be a misunderstanding. Dai Li has suffered for his mistake, so let’s talk this over…”

Xu Yini went over to Lu Huaiyu and tried to talk him out of this. “Huaiyu, calm down. Don’t start a fight here. After all, we are here to celebrate Uncle Cheng’s birthday.”

If things continued to intensify, it would turn really ugly for everyone. Moreover, it was all because of Ning Li.

“I can afford to pay his hospital bills,” Lu Huaiyu said calmly.

Xu Yini responded poorly to Lu Huaiyu’s answer. She turned around to Old Master Cheng. “Uncle Cheng, I’m sorry that this is happening at your birthday dinner. Huaiyu will apologize to you officially another time, but he hit my men, and I demand an explanation.”

The situation gave Old Master Cheng a headache. He had practically watched Lu Huaiyu grow up and knew the boy’s temper better than anyone.

Dai Li must be out of his mind. Why would he offend Lu Huaiyu of all people?

“Uhm…”

“I don’t want this to affect your dinner, so I’ll bring him back now.” Lu Huaiyu stepped forward as Dai Li instinctively retreated. Fear was growing in his heart. He had a feeling that if Lu Huaiyu brought him out, he might not come back in one piece!
