As one of the veterans of the Celestial Wolf Association, Li Ruixue's status was beyond reproach. When he went out to eat, unless he was present, no one dared to start eating, making it an unwritten rule over time.

Originally, Li Ruixue didn't want to attend this dinner party hosted by Miao Jian, but he had business interests with Miao Jian's real estate company. Moreover, this particular dinner was held at the Celestial Wolf Association's property, Jialing Building, so he reluctantly came to have a drink with him.

However, after entering the private room and seeing Lu Yu helping himself to the food, a slight displeasure arose in his heart.

After all, he was a veteran of the Celestial Wolf Association. While he couldn't compare to Yunting in terms of power and status, he was still quite prominent, and people across Lin'an City gave him some respect.

Given such a status, the young man before him, who was eating without regard, was so disrespectful that he didn't even greet him, which made Li Ruixue very unhappy.

Noticing the displeasure on Li Ruixue's face, Miao Jian and Zhang Ruxue, who were beside him, couldn't help but display a hint of a smile.

They shifted their gaze to Lu Yu, and the smile on their faces became more apparent.

Making you order a bottle of wine worth over 30,000 and throw the menu in my face, Lu Yu, let's see how you perish this time!

Thinking of this, Miao Jian's face showed a hint of malice. At this moment, he was ready to tear off the mask. Looking at Lu Yu in front of him, he shouted loudly, "Hey! Didn't you hear me? Stand up and apologize to Brother Li. Do you still think you're the young master? Let me tell you, Brother Li can crush you with just a flick of his finger!"

After saying this, Miao Jian and Zhang Ruxue felt an indescribable relief, and the twisted pleasure in their hearts quickly grew, making them a bit inflated.

Although they spent some money on this meal, being able to trample the once glorious young master of the Lu Family from five years ago underfoot gave them immense satisfaction.

Hearing Miao Jian's words, Lu Yu couldn't help but smile. There are such people in this world: when you're prosperous, they are willing to follow you like dogs and slaves, eager to worship you as if you were their own father, flattering at every turn.

But when you fall into hardship, these same people want to jump on you, reclaiming their past humility and reverence mercilessly from you.

Such people are like tumbleweed on the wall, unsteady and swaying wherever the wind blows, even worse than dogs!

Thinking of this, Lu Yu slowly raised his head and placed his chopsticks on the table. The calm expression on his face was replaced by a cold smile.

"Is that so?"

Lu Yu spoke coldly, and a seemingly imperceptible killing intent quietly spread, causing the temperature in the room to drop by several degrees.

"Of course, do you think I'm lying?"

Hearing Lu Yu's tone becoming cold, Miao Jian said, "Do you know that Brother Li is a veteran who holds half of the Celestial Wolf Association's power? You'd better obediently apologize to Brother Li, or he can easily crush you!"

Miao Jian spoke arrogantly, believing he had Lu Yu cornered today, so his tone became increasingly disrespectful. He looked at Lu Yu in front of him, a hint of disdain in his voice.

He still had not sensed Lu Yu's gradually cold tone.

"I don't even know him, why should I greet him?"

At this moment, Lu Yu spoke coldly, his words filled with a chilling rigor.

He glanced at Zhang Ruxue and Miao Jian and said, "Do you think I would be like you, rushing to flatter anyone who seems successful like two dogs?"

Buzz!

The moment Lu Yu said this, there was a hint of cold laughter in his tone, along with a significant tinge of ridicule!

Upon hearing this, Zhang Ruxue and Miao Jian's faces changed dramatically, becoming extremely unpleasant.

They felt as if they had been slapped twice, their faces burning, while their eyes showed signs of cold anger and resentment.

Do you think I would be like you, rushing to flatter anyone who seems successful like two dogs?

This sentence was like two sharp knives stabbing right into the deepest parts of Zhang Ruxue and Miao Jian's hearts!

Seeing who is successful and rushing up like a dog to flatter them—this had been the most true depiction of Zhang Ruxue and Miao Jian!

Upon hearing Lu Yu's words, Miao Jian and Zhang Ruxue's faces turned livid, appearing extremely furious. At this moment, Miao Jian said to Li Ruixue, "Brother Li, this guy doesn't regard you at all, there's nothing I can do..."

"Wait a moment."

With Miao Jian blocking Li Ruixue's view, Li Ruixue hadn't seen Lu Yu's face clearly. Listening to Lu Yu's voice, it sounded familiar, as if he had heard it somewhere before. For a moment, he wanted to see Lu Yu's appearance.

He directly pushed aside Miao Jian and looked towards Lu Yu.

But at that moment, he felt as if he had seen a ghost, his entire body trembling like a leaf, filled with dread.

This man was the one who tortured Marlo until he wished for death at the Bihaus Club that night, a person to whom even his own leader, Yunting, showed utmost respect—Young Master Lu!

It was he who single-handedly tortured Marlo to the brink of death. Li Ruixue had witnessed the bloody and cruel scene from not far away!

Even his leader Yunting had to respectfully call him Young Master Lu, how could he possibly appear here!?

Realizing this, Li Ruixue's heart suddenly filled with panic. Seeing Miao Jian and Zhang Ruxue's demeanor, they probably didn't know how terrifying Lu Yu was, their earlier remarks were courting death!

"Brother Li, sorry, this guy is just a fallen young master. I felt sorry for him and brought him to eat. Who knew he would be so unruly, offending you..."

In his rage, Miao Jian spoke to Li Ruixue, trying to further stoke Li Ruixue's discontent with Lu Yu.

But before he could finish his sentence, his voice abruptly stopped, because Li Ruixue unexpectedly did something neither he nor Zhang Ruxue expected!

Li Ruixue slowly stepped forward directly to Lu Yu, swallowing hard, then bent over 90 degrees, and said respectfully, "Young Master Lu, I never expected to meet you here. It's truly an honor to have you visit our Jialing Building, it really brightens our establishment!"

Li Ruixue's voice was subdued and humble, and he didn't dare to take a deep breath, trembling as a servant would before a master, filled with anxious unease.
