Top Grade Pure Beauty CEO

Zhou Tianhao looked at the young man before him, flashed a faint smile, and asked with interest, "Do you know who I am?"

Li Xiaoyao looked at him with a peculiar expression and asked, "Who you are has nothing to do with me."

Zhou Tianhao's face darkened slightly; he had not expected Li Xiaoyao to dare speak to him in this manner.

He, Zhou Tianhao, had been a notable figure in Ling City for many years, and never before had anyone dared to speak to him with such a tone. Li Xiaoyao was the first.

"Take this brat down and teach him a lesson," Zhou Tianhao waved his hand casually and instructed.

Han Shi stood by the side, reminding, "Boss, this young man is Li Xiaoyao."

Zhou Tianhao's eyebrows twitched, his eyes narrowed, and a murderous aura shot out from them.

Zhou Tianhao asked coldly, "You're Li Xiaoyao?"Nôv(el)B\\jnn

Li Xiaoyao looked at him and said, "You know me?"

A surge of anger burst from his chest, and Zhou Tianhao's voice was low and filled with fury as he said, "Was it you who broke my son's arms and legs?"

"Your son?" Li Xiaoyao frowned and pondered for a few seconds, and then his expression cleared.

"Are you talking about that useless Zhou Hao?" Li Xiaoyao asked, and then nodded, "If you're talking about that waste, then yes, I'm the one who beat him."

"Bastard!" Zhou Tianhao yelled, infuriated by Li Xiaoyao's indifferent attitude, and said, "You dared to harm my son; today, I'm going to cripple you too, to let you know the consequences of offending me, Zhou Tianhao, in Ling City."

Zhou Tianhao left with an angry snort and sat down on the sofa, startling the young men and women nearby who immediately stood up.

Zhou Tianhao ordered, "Pin him to the ground and chop off all his limbs."

Hearing this order, the young men and women around shuddered, but none of them felt sympathy for Li Xiaoyao. They had been annoyed by Li Xiaoyao early on. Learning that Li Xiaoyao had offended Zhou Tianhao, they were shocked, but now, hearing that Zhou Tianhao wanted to chop off his limbs, they felt a sense of vindictive pleasure.

It seemed like a delightful thing to see Li Xiaoyao being tortured.

Wei Qingshan had already given up on pleading for Dongmei; he now had a greater goal—to curry favor with Zhou Tianhao and get him to remember him.

Wei Qingshan was clearer than anyone on the importance of networking with a prominent figure in society for his future development.

"Mr. Zhou," Wei Qingshan approached Zhou Tianhao, smiling, "Hello, Mr. Zhou, please allow me to introduce myself."

Zhou Tianhao glanced at him and hummed softly.

Wei Qingshan said, "My name is Wei Qingshan, my father is Wei First Grade from the First Grade Teahouse. He mentioned you to me before, saying that Mr. Zhou is a formidable person and his greatest wish in life is to one day have the honor of dining at the same table with you."

Everyone likes to hear flattery, especially when it comes from a sycophant like Wei Qingshan.

Zhou Tianhao found his words immensely pleasing and hummed softly, "I know Wei First Grade. He's a decent businessman."

Wei Qingshan was overjoyed. He glanced at Li Xiaoyao behind him and said, "Mr. Zhou, I think that teaching Li Xiaoyao a lesson here may not be the best idea."

Zhou Tianhao stared at him and asked, "Oh? Are you trying to plead for him? Do you know Li Xiaoyao?"

Wei Qingshan shook his head repeatedly, his face slightly fearful, as just now, he had detected a hint of murderous intent in Zhou Tianhao's words.

"Mr. Zhou, you misunderstand. Although I know Li Xiaoyao, our relationship is that of enemies, not friends. He is a bastard, a bully who only preys on the weak and puts on airs," Wei Qingshan looked toward his classmates and said, "Mr. Zhou, you might as well ask my classmates here, and they will tell you what a bastard Li Xiaoyao is."

Yang Kai and others immediately said, "Yes, Mr. Zhou, Li Xiaoyao is a bastard."

Even Dongmei on the ground shouted, "He's a bastard who only knows how to bully women."

One from the left, one from the right, all were harshly scolding Li Xiaoyao.

Lin Yuanyuan, snickering, said, "You really have terrible popularity."

Li Xiaoyao looked at the group coldly and sneered, "A bunch of things who know nothing about life and death."

Zhou Tianhao made a pressing down motion with his hand in the air, and everyone immediately shut up.

"Li Xiaoyao, look around you, all your friends have abandoned you. Today, even if you die here, nobody will care about you," Zhou Tianhao's tone changed as he said menacingly, "I'll chop off your limbs, cut off your 'little brother,' and then sink you into the Yangtze River to let you feel the pain of despair."

Zhou Tianhao's words shocked Wei Qingshan and others, making them realize how close they had come to danger by dissociating themselves from Li Xiaoyao just in time.

"Buzz~"

Li Xiaoyao's phone rang; he took it out, glanced at it, saw an unfamiliar number. After hesitating for two seconds, he pressed the answer button and shouted at Zhou Tianhao, who was still babbling, "Shut up."

Zhou Tianhao was stunned into silence by the sudden outburst from Li Xiaoyao, actually closing his mouth.

"Just let him make his last call," Zhou Tianhao thought coldly to himself.

"Hello."

"Mr. Li, this is Cheng Yiyi."

"Cheng Yiyi? Which Cheng Yiyi?" Li Xiaoyao couldn't recall immediately.

Cheng Yiyi felt somewhat unhappy. That Li Xiaoyao had actually forgotten about her—it was only a day, and he had forgotten her already!

Usually, Cheng Yiyi would have hung up the phone in anger, but today she couldn't afford to. Because Li Xiaoyao was a big shot, and only he could cure her father's illness.

Cheng Yiyi reminded him, "I am the daughter of Cheng Dongliang. We met yesterday at the villa, and we even had a little skirmish."

Li Xiaoyao remembered and asked, "Hello, Miss Cheng, what can I do for you?"

Cheng Yiyi said, "Mr. Li, do you have time right now? I would like to invite you to treat my father's illness."

"I do have time, but I've run into a little trouble and can't get away."

Cheng Yiyi asked, "You're in trouble? Could you tell me what the problem is?"

After thinking for a bit, Li Xiaoyao gave her a brief account of the situation.

Upon hearing this, Cheng Yiyi immediately said, "I'm nearby. Please wait a few minutes, Mr. Li, I'll be right there."

After hanging up the phone, Cheng Yiyi drove to Wenhua Lane with a grim face. She was currently on the street next to Wenhua Lane, and it would take her only five minutes to get there by car.

Cheng Yiyi knew Zhou Tianhao. In fact, Zhou Tianhao had once visited her—precisely, he had visited the Cheng Family. However, Cheng Dongliang wasn't interested in these crooked ways, so he had not paid any attention to him.

Now, this Zhou Tianhao dared to cause trouble for Li Xiaoyao. Cheng Yiyi thought Zhou Tianhao was really tired of living, utterly unaware of the danger he was in.

Who was Li Xiaoyao? He was someone even Cheng Dongliang referred to with respect as a master. Was he someone Zhou Tian could afford to offend?
