Chapter 47: Chapter 47: Amidst the Humiliation _1
"Unemployed? So that means you’re just a bum, huh?"
Li Qiaoqiao suddenly spoke up at this moment, her face full of disdain as she said, "Well, that’s no one’s fault but your own. You deserved to be cheated on. What can a man without even a job offer to support a woman?"
"Even working as a security guard would make you some money. What kind of man just idles away his life?"
She had always looked down on Ye Ming, and she did so now, criticizing him remorselessly while occasionally showing off her sense of superiority.
"It’s a good thing I never accepted you when you pursued me. Following a man like you, I’d probably starve to death!"
"I spend thousands in just a single day, and my bags cost tens of thousands. What could you use to support me?"
Ye Ming watched her with a smile, unfazed.
To him, this former class belle held no attraction anymore.
"Your expenses are so high, making money must be really tough, huh?" Ye Ming retorted sharply. "As I see it, you must have found a very dignified job that requires you to work overtime late into the night, otherwise, how could you afford such high consumption?"
His words silenced the private room instantly.
Li Qiaoqiao’s face went from arrogance to anger as she asked loudly, "Ye Ming, what do you mean by that? Are you saying I’m a whore?"
Ye Ming spread his hands innocently: "I didn’t say anything—it’s you who’s admitting it!"
Li Qiaoqiao said angrily, "I was thinking since you’re unemployed, you could go work at Zhang Yang’s company cleaning toilets, giving you a way to make some money, but you’re too ungrateful."
"You’re just a piece of trash, no wonder you got cheated on!"
Facing Li Qiaoqiao’s insults, Ye Ming started to lose his temper as well.
He was about to speak when Zhang Yang suddenly interjected, "Hey, you can’t speak like that. Qiaoqiao, you shouldn’t hit people where it hurts!"
"Ye Ming was just deceived, he’s a good person. It’s not his fault he’s not capable."
"He’s quite pitiful, actually. A friend of mine said it’s not just that Xu Ling cheated on him; she also let her new boyfriend beat him up."
"The beating was brutal! If it were me, I would have just given up on life."
"Ye Ming is still alive today, which shows he has a great mindset, completely indifferent to the matter. Calling him trash might not be quite right!"
With that said, everyone around burst into laughter.
Their mockery of Ye Ming was unrestrained and blatant.
Ye Ming’s expression gradually became colder as he realized why Zhang Yang had gone to such lengths to have him attend the party—it was to take advantage of the opportunity to humiliate him.
Killing intent slowly welled up in his eyes; he was just waiting for the right moment.
After the mockery subsided, Zhang Yang left his seat and walked over to Ye Ming.
He took out a card and placed it in front of Ye Ming, saying, "How about this, as old classmates, I can’t stand by and watch you waste away like this."
"I’ve made a little money in the last few years doing business. I can give you some financial aid!"
As he spoke, Zhang Yang poured Ye Ming a glass of wine.
Then, he spat a thick loogie into it and placed it in front of Ye Ming, saying, "There’s a hundred thousand in the card. If you drink this glass, the money’s yours."
"One hundred thousand for a glass, and if you drink ten glasses, that’s a million. How about it? I’ll give you whatever amount you drink."
Zhang Yang watched Ye Ming with a mocking smile, quietly waiting for his response.
This was no longer just humiliation, but a trampling on Ye Ming’s dignity.
Zhang Yang looked forward to Ye Ming’s reaction, his smile becoming more and more insolent.
The other classmates also started egging him on: "Drink it, man! It’s a hundred thousand! That’s a significant amount for you!"
"Zhang Yang is just trying to be nice; don’t be ungrateful. If you make Zhang Yang unhappy, we won’t let you off the hook!"
Everyone looked at Ye Ming with anticipation, eager to see him embarrass himself in public.
Ye Ming slowly picked up the cup, a mysterious smile appearing on his face.
He said, "Zhang Yang, if you apologize now, I might let you off this time. This is your last chance."
Zhang Yang laughed as if he had just heard a hilarious joke, doubling over with laughter.
"Ye Ming, are you dreaming? Apologize? I’m giving you money, and you’re still being ungrateful!"
"Today, whether you want this money or not, you’re getting it. I’ve decided for you!"
"If you don’t drink this cup, I won’t let you walk out of here!"
Ye Ming snorted coldly, having no more reason to tolerate this.
Suddenly, he grabbed Zhang Yang’s cheek and pried his mouth open, forcefully pouring the cup filled with thick spit into his mouth.
Zhang Yang choked and coughed continuously, struggling frantically, but in an instant, the cup of alcohol had gone down his throat.
"Damn it, Ye Ming, you’re really courting death. I generously give you money, and you throw it back in my face!"
Zhang Yang no longer bothered to hide his anger, picking up a bottle from the table and smashing it towards Ye Ming’s head.
"This 100,000 yuan can be your medical expenses! Go to hell!"
With a loud crash, the bottle shattered to pieces.
Unfortunately for Zhang Yang, the bottle didn’t hit Ye Ming.
Ye Ming had already moved from his original spot, appearing behind Zhang Yang like a ghost.
"Too slow, your speed is really too slow," Ye Ming said.
"You’d better keep the money for yourself."
Ye Ming spoke coldly, then grabbed Zhang Yang by the hair and slammed his face onto the table.
There was no longer any need for patience; Ye Ming’s actions were extremely ruthless, with no intention of holding back.
After a dull thud, Zhang Yang was left with a bloody head, feeling dizzy and confused.
The others in the private room were just as stunned.
Nobody had expected Ye Ming to suddenly erupt and dare to lay hands on Zhang Yang; it was a bold move.
"Ye Ming, how dare you hit me? I’m going to kill you!" Zhang Yang snarled furiously as he lunged towards Ye Ming, looking even more ferocious with blood covering his head.
Unfortunately for Zhang Yang, he couldn’t get anywhere near Ye Ming.
With just a light lift of his foot, Ye Ming sent Zhang Yang flying, crashing down onto the table.
After a loud snap, the table broke apart, and the food scattered all over the floor, leaving a total mess.
Under such a fierce attack, Zhang Yang had lost any capability to resist.
"Ye Ming, you’re asking for death. Do you know where you are?" Li Qiaoqiao, holding up her phone towards Ye Ming, said, "This is Tianyun Hotel, the Qin Family’s turf. Causing trouble on Qin Family territory, you won’t survive tonight!"
"I’ve recorded everything that happened. Just you wait!"
Far from being scared, Ye Ming slowly approached Li Qiaoqiao, snatched her phone, and smashed it to the ground.
