Chapter 217: Chapter 217: Very Sorry
"It’s okay, it’s all in the past now, you don’t have to worry about it too much."
Upon hearing this, Wang Yong in front of him grabbed Liu Zheng and sat down with him.
"But to be honest, you were really amazing yesterday. I had never thought your alcohol tolerance was that good. If I had known, I wouldn’t have dragged you into it."
"And I know that what you said to me yesterday was just to keep me out of the matter, after all, he really is quite formidable."
Unexpectedly, Wang Yong knew everything that he had done.
Since that was the case, he was indeed very happy.
At the beginning, he thought Wang Yong might misunderstand, but it seemed that there had been no problems between them after all.
"You actually knew."
When Liu Zheng said this, the smile on Wang Yong’s face became even thicker.
"Of course I knew. You would never harm me. Our relationship is so good; they can’t compare."
"Moreover, I never thought yesterday that they were planning to get Chen Xiaoxiao drunk, so they set up such a scenario on purpose. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have gone at all."
After hearing this, Liu Zheng could only give a bitter smile.
To be honest, from the beginning, he hadn’t realized either, only after seeing everyone’s reaction did he finally understand what was really going on.
If he had known in advance, he would never have participated in such an event or attended such a class reunion. It was simply a waste of time.
"Yeah, I had no idea either, but they were indeed quite despicable. Bullying a girl like that, I really don’t understand what they were thinking."
But all Wang Yong could do was helplessly shake his head.
"You must have seen it too. Even when people realized what was happening, they didn’t dare say anything because of his social status; we couldn’t even voice our objections."
Hearing this, Liu Zheng immediately nodded in agreement.
He had indeed noticed the situation yesterday. Even if people felt it wasn’t right, they pretended to be clueless.
After all, they were simply not capable of affronting him.
"Besides, do you know that I work in real estate? Recently, because business has been sluggish, I took a temporary leave, planning to resume after the slow period."
"But he also works in real estate, and because they have deeper connections and a significant family background, they don’t face such problems."
"Over the years, they’ve been getting on better and better, so he has always acted fearless."
He sighed as he spoke.
"Otherwise, how could he blatantly make such moves right under everyone’s noses?"
How could Liu Zheng not understand such logic?
He could clearly see just how formidable Huang Haoxiang was.
No one present dared to say anything to him at that moment.
And nobody came forward to stop him either.
That alone was enough to illustrate the extent of his influence.
"But dude, you were really cool. The moment you stepped in yesterday, my heart skipped a beat. I was so worried you’d offend him, but you weren’t concerned about that at all."
At that moment, Wang Yong’s face revealed a smile once again as he gently patted Liu Zheng’s shoulder.
Seeing him like that, Liu Zheng just gave a faint smile.
"I just did what I had to do. Plus, it was appalling at the time. If I hadn’t stepped in, who knows how Chen Xiaoxiao would have been treated."
"Yeah, let’s not talk about it. Otherwise, she might have been taken away by them."
"Moreover, with your great tolerance for alcohol, seeing you outplay them one by one yesterday, I felt pretty good. I do have some business dealings with them on normal days, and they’ve been bearing down on me."
"You really took revenge for me yesterday."
Seeing Wang Yong so happy, Liu Zheng could just imagine how those people must have bullied him in everyday life.
And Wang Yong had always been carefree. If he remembered it so clearly, it meant that the other side really went too far.
Otherwise, he would not have remembered it so well.
"So, when you said that to me, I knew you must’ve been considering our dealings and wanted to keep me out of trouble."
"You’re so thoughtful. I don’t even know how to thank you."
"I was also afraid that you’d blame me for not standing up yesterday."
When Wang Yong said this, Liu Zheng simply raised his hand and gently patted his shoulder.
He wasn’t concerned about that anymore.
He knew about Wang Yong’s relations with those people. If they fell out, would they still do business or have interactions in the future?
Being an adult is never easy; often, you can’t just do as you please in many situations.
He had truly considered what was best for Wang Yong before speaking up at that moment.
"It’s fine as long as you understand. And I’m not afraid. After all, I don’t really have dealings with them, and I don’t rely on them."
He had a craft and many regular customers. Surviving wasn’t a big issue for him, and he didn’t care to bother with those people.
Besides, their actions were just too much.
He hadn’t attended such a class reunion in a very long time. He had been looking forward to catching up with everyone and seeing how life had been treating them, only to run into such an unpleasant incident.
Fortunately, he was there. Otherwise, who knows what would have happened to Chen Xiaoxiao.
Soon, Wang Yong made himself at home, quickly starting to pour tea and water.
Not only that, but he also poured a cup for Liu Zheng.
"But how is your alcohol tolerance so good? I remember you didn’t even drink before?"
Upon hearing this, Liu Zheng thought seriously for a moment, unsure how to respond.
Because he wasn’t quite clear if he should share the matter with him.
But after some thought, he figured that Wang Yong was decent and straightforward. Visiting him to apologize showed that he truly considered Liu Zheng a real friend.
