Supreme Heir Son-in-law

Chapter 569: Chapter 569: Refusing the Toast

The smell of alcohol from the man seemed to have diminished quite a bit from Xu Ke and Ariel’s remarks, at least his previously squinted eyes now looked as open as any sober person’s.

"Who do you think you are, to have the courage to say those words? Don’t you know who I am, what my status is? In Yunzhou, even if I’m not the top person here, I’m at least someone with a face and a name. Everyone present here would show me some respect when they see me, and who the hell are you? How many people here even know you?" The man spread his arms, his gaze sweeping across the crowd.

Those caught by the man’s look either nodded in agreement with what he said or pretended not to notice, just watching calmly to see how things would unfold.

"See? No one knows you. So why are you making such grandiose claims here, saying as long as you’re here, you can be arrogant? Sure, those lines in TV dramas might sound cool, but reality isn’t a drama. Without the strength to back it up, saying such things just makes everyone laugh." The man laughed heartily.

"It’s normal for young people to not know the weight of words, but he shouldn’t be ignorant. For what you just said, apologize to me, and I’ll let it slide as if nothing happened. But if you don’t apologize, you won’t want to experience my methods." The man rubbed his face, trying to appear more sober.

"Feel free to bring it on." Xu Ke said fearlessly.

"A successful person getting dead drunk at an event like this — I doubt such a person will go far on the path of success. If you ever go bankrupt, feel free to apply at my company. I’m kind-hearted enough to offer you a job." Xu Ke retorted, unyielding, causing the surrounding people to gasp in shock.

Upon hearing Xu Ke’s words, the man’s expression changed abruptly. His company had indeed begun to decline; otherwise, he wouldn’t be drinking himself into such a state today. It was to drown his sorrows with alcohol, but he had to encounter someone as infuriating as Xu Ke, who reopened his barely closed wounds. This was like stabbing knives violently into his sore spot.

"Shut your mouth, you damn curse-spouting crow. Just wait and see. If you don’t apologize now, you’ll be crying but have no tears." The man snarled at Xu Ke.
