Regarding his pretentiousness, not only Wen Qianyi, but any of them could hear the underlying sarcasm, because it was evident that Li Yan wore nothing brand name, and his outfit cost just a few hundred bucks, so his sincere compliment was undoubtedly sarcastic.

Everyone was eagerly watching Li Yan, whether it was a man Wen Qianyi was genuinely interested in or someone just there to make up the numbers, being invited should mean he wouldn't be a total embarrassment, right?

Li Yan, with a smile, reached out his hand towards Zhang Songyang.

Zhang Songyang was taken aback, not understanding why he wanted a handshake. When they were introduced just now, everyone only nodded at each other; it wasn't this formal. Not good! He must be angry with me for embarrassing him and wants to crush my hand to embarrass me too!

As Li Yan grabbed his hand, Zhang Songyang immediately tightened his grip, making the first move.

"You have great taste, we really should shake hands... Ouch, ouch, it hurts..."

Li Yan suddenly shook his hand, shouting in pain, surprising everyone and drawing all eyes to Zhang Songyang. Even Zhang Songyang was puzzled; could it be that he really just wanted a handshake? Was I thinking the worst of him? But he indeed didn't feel Li Yan exerting force, while he himself took the initiative. Seeing everyone looking over, as if he was doing it on purpose, he quickly apologized: "Sorry, sorry, I just have a bit too much strength, didn't mean to hurt you, did I?"

His words still carried a hint of pride; after all, to make a man cry out in pain, you need some strength, right?

However, in others' eyes, it just looked like he was thoroughly bullying Li Yan — not only verbally but also physically attacking. Even his friends were secretly shaking their heads, and the smile on Wen Qianyi's face faded considerably.

"No worries, I just wanted to shake your hand because you have great taste. Style is something that requires talent, and someone like me, with sharp eyes and a fierce presence, even cheap mix-and-match looks stylish and full of style. Mr. Zhang, you're just lacking a bit of talent, but there's no need to be self-conscious. The way you are now, at least you have the demeanor of a nouveau riche, and going anywhere to spend, people welcome guests like you very much..."

Hearing his babbling, others couldn't help but stifle their laughter, while Wen Qianyi laughed happily. Compared to Zhang Songyang's feigned sincerity and blatant sarcasm, this guy lowered himself first, acted foolishly, and then criticized directly with a foolish tone, making him seem genuine and amusing.

Zhang Songyang's face was awkward, he coughed, "Yes, yes, you're stylish, I'm a nouveau riche. By the way, you haven't said where you work yet?" Secretly annoyed, he thought, want to brush it off like this? I won't let you get away with it!

Li Yan reached out again, smiling, "I want to shake your hand again, I really am related to art!"

This time, Zhang Songyang didn't exert any force, passively letting Li Yan hold his hand, only to feel a piercing pain. He suddenly realized, damn it! This kid was getting back at him!

Alright, let's see me using your own method to deal with you!

"Ouch, ouch, it hurts, it hurts..."

Seeing Zhang Songyang mimic Li Yan's previous actions, crying out in pain, while Li Yan looked dazed and clueless, Chen Qitao and Fu Weiwei shared a helpless smile. Some girls even looked at Zhang Songyang with a bit of disdain. If before he was just being petty, now he was really embarrassing himself! Using such a cheap trick to frame someone.

Sensing the peculiar gazes from everyone, Zhang Songyang looked around and blurted out, "It really hurts, his hand is strong, he just squeezed me hard... ouch... huh?"

Crying out in pain, he looked down to find that Li Yan's hand had long been withdrawn. No wonder everyone thought he was acting! But why did it still hurt?

Li Yan, looking like an honest man who had done something wrong, grinned foolishly, "I'm going to the restroom."

Seeing him get up to go to the restroom, Zhang Songyang also got up, "I'm going too." Watching Li Yan's back, he silently cursed: Just wait, I'll expose your true face!

The girls seeing them leave laughed, "Do you think they might start a fight in the restroom? Hehe, Qianyi, someone's fighting a duel for you!"

Wen Qianyi replied grumpily, "If they do fight, it's probably Zhang Songyang who started it."

No one dared to comment, Zhang Songyang was a friend, and so was Wen Qianyi, but indeed Zhang Songyang had crossed the line.

"Hey, I bet a hundred bucks they'll fight!"

"Geez, don't stir up trouble!" Wen Qianyi rolled her eyes at him.

"I bet they won't."

"I'll join in too..."

"..."

...

Seeing Zhang Songyang follow him to the restroom and Li Yan not using the toilet, just constantly washing his hands, his expression soured. Oh, so you're saying my hands are dirty!

He walked over, washing his hands next to Li Yan, looked in the mirror with a cold smile, "Let's speak frankly. Thinking you, driving a broken domestic junk car, a poor wretch, want to hitch a ride with Qianyi? You want to live off her, right? Before freeloading, at least take a leak and look at yourself, see if you measure up!"

Li Yan looked at him in surprise, "From what you're saying, Brother Zhang, do you look at yourself before every time you freeload?"

Someone coming out of the toilet heard Li Yan's words and gave Zhang Songyang a strange look, then quickly washed his hands and left.

Zhang Songyang didn't care, coldly laughing, "People who freeload sure have sharp tongues! But what can you offer Qianyi? In terms of looks, figure, clothing, taste, money, status... which of these can you match up to even a hair of mine?"

Li Yan, having finished washing his hands, flicked some water onto Zhang Songyang's face, teasing, "Let's skip the fluff and focus on what's important! How much can you pull out tonight?"

Money showdown? Zhang Songyang suspiciously eyed him, did I misjudge and this guy is pretending to be poor? Upon inspecting more closely, still didn't look like it. With more confidence, he said, "I have over a hundred million, and I can still take out hundred thousand tonight!" In his heart, he thought, of course, no cash but you can pay by card here.

He figured that a hundred thousand should be enough to crush this guy wearing clothes worth only a few hundred bucks, probably with an income of just a few thousand a month. But Li Yan gave him a shocking answer!

Li Yan lit a cigarette, mocked, "Only a hundred thousand? I've had more than that since I was fourteen! Just tonight, I can pull out one or two hundred million!"

More than a hundred thousand at fourteen, and one or two hundred million tonight... what kind of bullcrap is this! Zhang Songyang was stunned, had he encountered a 'wolf in sheep's clothing' with a super-rich background?

Seeing Li Yan's wicked smile, the attacked Zhang Songyang couldn't help but wonder, was he bluffing?

Noticing Li Yan already leaving, Zhang Songyang quickly followed him out, chasing after him, "Are you talking about Netherworld Coins?"

Li Yan leaned in closer, with a mischievous grin, "PQ! Since when is money the most important?"

Messing with me! Deliberately messing with me!

Insult! A blatant insult!
