    44: Chapter 44 What Are You?

    “Excuse me, but this area is currently hosting a private event and is temporarily closed to the public!” Just as the two were about to enter the hall, they were stopped by two waiters at the door!

    “I’m here to find someone!” Bai Xiaofan patiently explained to them.

    “Sorry, we are hosting a private event here, so please leave!” One waiter, wearing an earring and with a stern face, as if someone owed him money, said to Bai Xiaofan again.

    “I said I’m here to find someone!” Bai Xiaofan thought perhaps the waiter hadn’t heard him, so he explained again.

    “Everyone here is either rich or prominent in Nanjiang City; your friend wouldn’t be here.

    You better leave quickly, or else I’ll have to call security!” The waiter with the earring disdainfully glanced at Bai Xiaofan, whose entire outfit didn’t even add up to a hundred yuan, yet he dared claim he was there to find someone!

    What a joke!

    Everyone attending this event was a notable figure in Nanjiang City.

    How delusional for such a poor young man to even think of participating!

    “Bai Xiaofan, are you sure you’re in the right place?” Li Qian, who had never been to such a place, saw the waiter’s tough attitude and gently tugged on Bai Xiaofan’s sleeve, whispering.

    “It’s impossible that I’m at the wrong place, Shi Qi called me and told me it was here.

    Let me make a call to confirm!” Bai Xiaofan glanced at the opposing waiter, ignoring his contemptuous look.

    He stepped aside to call Su Shiqi.

    “I’m not in the wrong place; Shi Qi will be coming out soon.

    She’s sitting inside!” Bai Xiaofan, after hanging up, said to Li Qian beside him.

    “Not to accuse you two of stirring trouble, but it has been stated that this isn’t your place.

    And look at what you are wearing!

    Poor folks trying to act like rich guys hitting on girls, damn, that’s really unlucky!”

    However, the waiter with the earring was annoyed and walked over cursing at Bai Xiaofan.

    In his view, someone as poor as Bai Xiaofan was surely just putting on airs, pretending for a couple of minutes until no one would come down, and then he would make an excuse to leave!

    “Are you talking to me?” Bai Xiaofan didn’t want to cause trouble, but he wasn’t afraid of it either.

    His eyes gradually turned cold as he stared at the man in front of him.

    “Isn’t that obvious?

    You’re the poorest dressed here.

    If not you, then who?

    Get out now, or don’t force me to call security!” The earring-wearing waiter arrogantly shouted.

    Slap!

    A loud slap rang out, followed by the waiter with the earring flying out!

    “This slap is to teach you to recognize people better in the future!” Bai Xiaofan coldly looked at him, his voice low and stern.

    “Ah...

    someones been hit, it’s going to be a fatality!” The earring man, clutching his burning face and looking at his bloodied teeth spitting out, hysterically screamed, much like a shrew!

    Hearing his shouts, many prominent guests inside grew curious and rushed over.

    “Everyone, please judge this situation.

    This man came dressed so shabbily, not even worth a hundred yuan, bringing this woman here.

    I told them to leave, yet he insisted on looking for someone inside.

    How is that possible?

    With his shabby appearance, how could he possibly know any of you?”

    Seeing the many prominent figures coming over, the earring man quickly started crying and complaining, tearing up as if he had just been blown up.

    If you didn’t know better, you’d think he was just beaten.

    Not becoming an actor was truly a waste; the Oscars owe him an award!

    “Young man, you’d better apologize to this waiter right now!”

    “Exactly, you can’t bully him just because he’s a waiter.

    You shouldn’t look down on him!”

    “This place really isn’t for you.

    Everyone here has a net worth of at least a million.

    If you want to dine here, go down to the first-floor lobby!”

    “Hey, I bet they can’t even afford the lobby.

    The minimum spend there is also eight hundred, right?”

    Listening to the jeers and laughter of the crowd, Li Qian’s face flushed with urgency as she hastily tried to explain, but was stopped by Bai Xiaofan.

    “There’s no need to explain to these people, it’s like playing the lute to a cow!”

    Bai Xiaofan’s comment had provoked collective outrage and in a flash, a chorus of jeers engulfed him and Li Qian, as if to drown them!

    “Oh, isn’t that Bai Xiaofan?

    What’s a poor sod like you doing here?

    Don’t tell me you’re here to sneakily pack up some of our leftovers to take home?”

    Amid the clamor, a particularly grating voice arose and out stepped a person from the crowd, none other than Bai Xiaofan’s old nemesis, Zhao Tian!

    By Zhao Tian’s side was Zhou Ya, who today was dressed in a deep V evening gown.

    The usual elegance was gone, replaced with a bit more allure!

    “What, looking to get thrown out again?

    We’re on the 30th floor here, I wonder if you’ll still have the strength to make a fuss?” Bai Xiaofan said, a mocking curve forming on his lips as he looked at his opponent.

    “Today, this place is filled with the celebrities of Nanjiang city, not somewhere a poor sod like you can act up.

    But if you kneel down and call me ‘daddy,’ I might consider letting you in.

    There’s a lot of delicacies here you’ve probably never seen in your lifetime!”

    When Zhao Tian heard Bai Xiaofan say this, he remembered the scene where Bai Xiaofan had thrown him out of the pharmacy.

    Instinctively, he thought about retreating, but then recalled—this was Su’s grand restaurant, surrounded by so many bodyguards and celebrities.

    How could such a poor sod turn the tables here?

    “I can beat you up anywhere!

    No one can stop me!” Bai Xiaofan said, his eyes growing colder by the second!

    “Bai Xiaofan, can you please stop bothering me over and over again?

    I have already broken up with you, do you find it amusing to chase me time and again?

    I’m never going to be with you!”

    Zhou Ya gave Bai Xiaofan a deep look, convinced that wherever she went, Bai Xiaofan was bound to appear, surely having traced her whereabouts beforehand, coming here expressly to plead for reconciliation!

    Listening to Zhou Ya’s words, Li Qian recalled that there had been rumors in school about one of the four campus beauties, Zhou Ya, having a poor loser boyfriend; could it be Bai Xiaofan?

    “Bai Xiaofan, let’s just go,” Li Qian also thought that Bai Xiaofan was indeed here to ask Zhou Ya to reconsider and immediately tugged at his sleeve, softly suggesting.

    If Li Qian felt this way, the so-called celebrities thought so even more, each pointing at Bai Xiaofan and disdainfully mocking him without restraint.

    “Ah, why does the toad always crave swan meat?”

    “Turns out he’s here pleading for a change of heart!”

    “Tsk tsk, so this poor sod’s so-called looking for someone was just to seek this beauty!”

    “Can’t even look at his own reflection in a puddle, yet he dares to pursue such a beauty?”

    Listening to the surrounding chatter, Zhao Tian laughed smugly, his arm around Zhou Ya’s waist, looking down at Bai Xiaofan with contempt like a victor!

    Zhou Ya also appeared rather pleased, especially as she cast several looks at Li Qian, who was holding Bai Xiaofan’s arm, as though to say, look, the man by your side still can’t forget about me!

    Bai Xiaofan scoffed disdainfully, then looking scornfully at Zhou Ya, he spoke indifferently, “Who do you think you are?

    You think you have the right to talk to me like that?

    Have you forgotten how I dumped you back then?

    Worthless person!”
