CHAPTER 209: CHAPTER 207: YOU ARE NOT WORTHY

"Xiao Tian?" Hearing that they wanted to meet Xiao Tian, Yu Ningxue nodded, turned around to call out, but found that Xiao Tian, who was just at the door, had disappeared...

"That guy!"

Seeing Xiao Tian gone, Yu Ningxue murmured angrily under her breath. Just then, she finally spotted Xiao Tian sitting in the corner of the party, wolfing down snacks.

If not for the crowd, and her need to maintain a lady-like image, she would’ve kicked him already.

Yu Ningxue could only shuffle in small steps to Xiao Tian and said intimately, "Darling, I want to introduce some friends to you."

Hearing Yu Ningxue’s overly sweet voice, Xiao Tian almost spat out the pastry in his mouth.

He turned around to see Yu Ningxue staring daggers at him, the look clearly saying, "If you screw this up, you’re dead!"

Xiao Tian laughed heartily, covered Yu Ningxue’s hand with his, and walked briskly to the center of the crowd.

Seeing this, countless eyes were drawn to them, especially Xu Zhi, whose face turned red with anger seeing his goddess holding hands with someone else.

Xiao Tian walked to the center, smiled, bowed, and introduced himself, "Hello everyone, my name is Xiao Tian, Yu Ningxue’s boyfriend!"

"Haha." Xu Zhi chuckled awkwardly and walked up to Xiao Tian, "Which prominent family are you from? I haven’t seen you before."

Xiao Tian grinned, showing his pearly whites, "Of course you haven’t seen me."

"So, what do you do? I’m Xu Zhi, my father is Xu Hu. We have some small businesses in Shanghai City, and I’ve admired Ningxue for years." Xu Zhi said proudly and directly.

In front of Yu Ningxue’s boyfriend, Xu Zhi didn’t hide his feelings for her at all. It was clear he didn’t take Xiao Tian seriously!

Hearing this, people around couldn’t help but laugh.

"Haha, Xu Zhi even mentioned his old man, clearly trying to show off!"

Xiao Tian understood what Xu Zhi meant.

Xiao Tian almost wanted to laugh, didn’t he previously point at the noses of those bigwigs in Beijing without a care?

What’s one little local boss from Shanghai City?

Xiao Tian said flatly, "Xu Family? Never heard of them."

Never heard of them!!

Those simple four words instantly made the surroundings fall silent.

After all, the elder of the Xu Family, Master Hu, is a big shot who could make the whole of Shanghai tremble with a stomp of his foot! How dare this man use such disdainful tone to say he never heard of them??

"Hehe... sure!" Xu Zhi’s expression was a bit odd, and he chuckled dryly.

Having been in Shanghai for so many years, doesn’t everyone call their family elder Master Hu respectfully?

Unexpectedly, Xiao Tian dared to embarrass him in front of so many people, making Xu Zhi feel even colder inside.

Xiao Tian then laughed, "As for me! I’m an honorable People’s Police Officer!"

Saying this, Xiao Tian even pulled out his ID from his pocket and waved it around for show.

"Police Officer!?"

Hearing the word police officer, the room erupted in stifled laughter.

A man on the side stepped out and said with a smile, "Do you know who’s the lowest-level person that comes to our house with gifts during the New Year? The lowest level is a bureau chief from the city!"

Next to him, Xu Zhi frowned and directly approached Yu Ningxue, saying helplessly, "Ningxue, if you think I’m being too forward, you can tell me; I’ll change. Why do you need to find someone like this to disgrace yourself?"

"Disgrace myself?" Yu Ningxue’s face turned ugly at once.

"Since when does a little police officer get to talk to us? Miss Yu, your actor isn’t very professional!"

"I think we should throw him out!"

"Look at him, even flaunting his police badge. Is he brain-dead or something haha. Ahh... sorry Officer, don’t arrest me!"

The group of Yu Ningxue’s admirers, who had been overshadowed by Xu Zhi, finally found a punching bag. Countless mocking words swept towards Xiao Tian.

Yet Xiao Tian stood there silently from beginning to end.

Almost everyone at the scene didn’t believe Xiao Tian was Yu Ningxue’s boyfriend. How could Yu Ningxue’s taste be so poor?

"Let’s drop it." Xu Zhi shook his head, said to Yu Ningxue, "Ningxue, if you think I’m too forward, I can change, but I really don’t want you to disgrace yourself like this, promise me, don’t find such actors again, okay? Don’t you feel disgusted when he holds your hand?"

Seeing Xu Zhi repeatedly insult Xiao Tian, the anger in Yu Ningxue’s heart reached its peak. Just as she was about to explode, she felt Xiao Tian squeeze her hand.

The Xu Family had business ties with them, and it would be inappropriate to fall out directly. In the end, Yu Ningxue could only nod with a very grim face, feeling stifled inside.

"My father wants to introduce some people to me; I’ll head up to the second floor first."

"I’ll go up to greet Uncle later." Yu Ningxue said in an indifferent tone.

"Okay, I’ll wait for you."

Xu Zhi nodded, then turned and left.

As he walked past Xiao Tian, he sneered and patted Xiao Tian’s shoulder, "If Ningxue hadn’t brought you here today, you probably wouldn’t ever attend such a party in your life, right? Also, a word of advice, don’t get close to people you’re not supposed to, after all, the world is big, and there are many people who can make you disappear without a trace."

At the end, Xu Zhi’s tone turned icy cold.

Xiao Tian shrugged and said casually with a smile, "At least not you."

"Hehe... sure."

With those words, Xu Zhi gave a meaningful smile and slowly left.

-----

After Xu Zhi left, the surroundings gradually returned to calm. Seeing Yu Ningxue’s apparent bad mood, those young masters who were fond of her wisely left, soon leaving only Xiao Tian and Yu Ningxue.

Yu Ningxue held Xiao Tian’s hand, apologizing, "Sorry, I made you suffer."

"Suffer?" Xiao Tian, feeling the soft touch of Yu Ningxue’s hand, smiled and said, "It’s like being bitten by a fly or mosquito; you don’t need to bite back, just ignore it."

"Yes, yes, you’re so enlightened!" Yu Ningxue rolled her eyes playfully at Xiao Tian.

"By the way, there are a few elders upstairs I have to greet... maybe it’s better if you don’t come this time!" To avoid another awkward scene like before, Yu Ningxue decided not to bring Xiao Tian along this time.

Xiao Tian nodded, continuing to munch on the pastries on the table. For some reason, none of the dishes at this party appealed to him except for these green pastries, which were quite to his taste; he’d already eaten more than a dozen pieces throughout the night.
