Seeing the once spirited Leng Shao being beaten and then forced to apologize,
everyone present wore complex expressions.
They were both shocked by Yang Feilong's identity and status, and felt pity for Leng Yi. The once glorious young master Leng had now become a pitiable figure.
They could imagine how humiliating it would be to apologize to a romantic rival.
"Isn't everything fine now?" Tie Rushan said with a smile, "Come, come, we're all acquaintances now, even if we fought first."
Although he had just arrived, he vaguely guessed something. He didn't comment much on the large number of women Yang Feilong had.
As Tie Rushan took the initiative to mediate, Leng Guangchao also wanted to ease relations with his new superior, Yang Feilong, so he actively offered a toast.
Seeing that the atmosphere in the hall was still a bit subdued, Tie Rushan's voice sounded again, "Others should dance and drink as they please. Don't let this little matter spoil the fun. Of course, I don't want this matter to get out. If anyone with a loose tongue spreads it, I might pay them a visit for a good chat. Don't doubt that I can do it!"
As soon as he said this,
the Leng family members secretly sighed in relief.
It was feared that no one present would dare to spread it. If it got out, they would not only face the Leng family's retaliation but also attract the attention of the police, which would be a nightmare.
Thus, the atmosphere relaxed.
Many bosses, young masters, and young ladies actually wanted to talk to Yang Feilong to see if there was an opportunity to connect with him, but at this moment, they hesitated.
"Who would have thought he was a divine constable?"
"Such a young divine constable, truly formidable!"
At this moment, Xu Wa and Chang Xinlei exchanged glances, seeing the relief in each other's eyes. Fortunately, Leng Yi had stepped forward today. Otherwise, if they had stepped forward today, they might have offended Yang Feilong, as they had already been let off by him once before!
Honestly, the most shocked person present was Xi Mengru. Her small mouth had been slightly open since just now. It was too astonishing!
Wasn't he a teacher at Blue Sea University? How did he become a divine constable? Had he lied to her about everything he had said before? Thinking of this, she felt a little wronged. She had treated him as a friend, but he hadn't spoken a single true word to her.
His fiancée was the extraordinarily elegant and beautiful boss, Li Yufei.
He hadn't told her!
He was a divine constable, yet he had lied to her, saying he was a university teacher!
When she spoke up for him, he must have looked at her like a clown, right?
The more she thought about it, the more distressed Xi Mengru became.
"Mengru, you're amazing. You're the only one who had a pleasant conversation with Divine Constable Yang!" Jin Qi said excitedly to Xi Mengru, "You have such good taste. By the way, did you get his contact information just now?"
Hearing this, Xi Mengru's heart became even more distressed. He hadn't asked for her contact information, and she didn't have his. Did this mean they weren't even friends? Did he see her as a joke? A clown?
Just then, Xi Yingtian walked over with hidden excitement, "Mengru, I heard you and Divine Constable Yang Feilong had a pleasant conversation just now?"
At first, when his daughter said she was friends with Yang Feilong and brought Yang Feilong in, he had been devastated and desperate. He had almost scolded his daughter then, but he never expected the situation to turn around so quickly. The subsequent developments were like a roller coaster ride.
When Yang Feilong's identity was revealed, he was thrilled.
If his daughter could catch the eye of Divine Constable Yang, then what would he have to worry about with the Leng and Huo families!
Moreover, Yang Feilong's furious defense of his beauty just now made him even more determined. If his daughter could become one of his concubines, not only would her illness have a chance to be cured, but his vast family business would also be protected. Furthermore, his daughter would not have to worry about being bullied, because Yang Feilong clearly doted on his wife.
He had previously thought that Li Yufei falling for Yang Feilong was Yang Feilong punching above his weight, so it was normal for Yang Feilong to curry favor with Li Yufei. But as things unfolded, he realized that Yang Feilong was only trying to please Li Yufei because she was his woman, and he was coaxing his woman into happiness!
After analyzing and considering various factors, he was particularly fond of the possibility of his daughter being favored by Yang Feilong.
Moreover, this might not be just wishful thinking, because he learned that before Li Yufei came down, Yang Feilong and his daughter had been chatting continuously. It was only when Jin Qi pulled his daughter away that they separated!
The fact that the other party could chat with his daughter for so long clearly showed some affection for her. If he saw his daughter's beauty, perhaps...
The more he thought, the more excited Xi Yingtian became.
"Mengru, I told you to take off those big black-rimmed glasses earlier, why haven't you yet?" Xi Yingtian said.
"I..." Xi Mengru said nervously, "I'm nervous. I'm scared..."
"Don't be afraid." Xi Yingtian looked at his hesitant and timid daughter. "You were fine during what just happened, which means you're normal now! You'll live like a normal person if you just interact with people more!"
"Alright then!" Xi Mengru gritted her teeth. She thought that her illness hadn't flared up even in such a tense atmosphere just now, which clearly meant she might really be fine. She then mustered up the courage and took off her glasses.
The moment Xi Mengru took off her black-rimmed glasses, she was like an ugly duckling transformed into a swan.
That's right, the black-rimmed glasses had almost completely obscured her beauty.
At this moment, Xi Mengru's eyes held a hint of timidity, and she tightly gripped the black-rimmed glasses in her hands, wanting to put them back on.
"Give me the glasses. See, you're fine now, aren't you?" Xi Yingtian, who had been a little worried, finally put his heart at ease.
Perhaps his daughter had truly recovered after the previous treatment.
"I, alright then!" Xi Mengru also breathed a sigh of relief and handed the glasses to her father.
"Mengru, you're truly beautiful without your glasses. If you tuck your lovely hair behind your ears, you'll probably attract the attention of all the men!" Jin Qi exclaimed in amazement at the transformed Xi Mengru, "If I were a man, I'd probably be unable to resist pursuing you!"
"Like this, is this okay?" Xi Mengru bit her lip, tucked her hair to the side, and asked nervously.
"Of course, you're stunning!" Jin Qi praised.
"Very good!" Xi Yingtian also looked at his daughter with a smile. He subconsciously looked for Yang Feilong's location, hoping that Yang Feilong would see her at this moment and be captivated by her beauty.
Honestly, Xi Mengru at this moment was truly beautiful. Especially her seemingly fragile demeanor, which could evoke a man's innate desire to protect and cherish her.
"Wow, look, is that... so beautiful!"
"Where? There? My heavens, she's so beautiful!"
"Who is that?"
"That's Xi Mengru. I just saw her take off her glasses and tuck her hair away. I never expected her to be so beautiful, like a fairy descending to earth!"
"So pretty? Too beautiful, too beautiful!"
A burst of exclamations suddenly erupted, and everyone couldn't help but look towards Xi Mengru.
Yang Feilong, of course, was no exception.
