Chapter 110: Chapter 109: Battle of the School Beauties "Lin Tian, are you saying you’re Boss Lin? You won us ten million?" Sun Decai’s eyes widened, and just thinking about this fact made him unbearably upset—a person he had never considered significant had swindled him out of ten million! Holding a grudge is the gentleman’s way, and making you miserable is precisely my intention. With a pleasant mood, Lin Tian chuckled, "Brother Decai, you’re mistaken again, I haven’t made a full ten million. Four hundred thousand of that was my capital." "Hmph, don’t be so smug. Release Mr. Qi first," Sun Decai didn’t dwell on this issue anymore. Seeing Mr. Qi’s face swollen at his feet, he again demanded Lin Tian to release him. "Fine, either have him apologize, or you can apologize on his behalf," Lin Tian looked at him squarely, implying if he had the guts to save him, this was his condition. For Sun Decai to apologize was more painful than losing ten million; how could he possibly apologize for Mr. Qi. Lin Tian ignored him, pushed a bit harder with his foot, and Mr. Qi couldn’t take it any longer, sobbing and begging for mercy, "I apologize, Liu Wenxing, I was wrong. Please, have mercy on me this once." "Shh..." A group of people let out disdainful hisses. Normally Mr. Qi was quite tough—it was surprising that he turned soft after just a few hits. They weren’t all from one group and had their own cliques, with conflicts arising among them as well. However, they never resolved disputes by calling the police. Anyone daring to do so would be ostracized from this circle. They relied on their own abilities and connections to resolve conflicts. "Brother Tian, step on him a couple more times just to make us feel better," Liu Wenxing laughed heinously. Having failed to intimidate and instead humiliated, Mr. Qi was too embarrassed to stay any longer, helping his two companions to walk out of the bar. Lin Tian’s group also ignored Sun Decai and walked over to the bar counter. "Sister-in-law, do you have a grudge against Qi Jing? Why does she keep staring at you?" Liu Wenxing asked curiously as he sipped his drink. "Not at all—I find it strange too," Xiao Manxuan had hardly ever seen Qi Jing; what grudge could there be? Lin Tian patted her hair and said with a smile, "Little girl, haven’t you heard that two tigers cannot share one mountain? You’re the beauty queen of the school, and so is she, but in every aspect, she’s no match for you. How could she not feel envious, jealous, and hateful?" "Exactly, sister-in-law. You’re leagues ahead of her," Liu Wenxing said honestly. As they were speaking, the music in the bar suddenly stopped, and the lady on the stage had also withdrawn. A young man came down from the upstairs, a spotlight shining on him as he smiled and greeted everyone. Damn, the man of the hour finally shows up—Lin Tian sneered at Bai Yufeng descending the stairs with graceful poise. Keep pretending; you’ll have your share of tears later. Bai Yufeng walked to the stage, gave some insipid remarks, then loudly announced, "Friends, for this party, I’ve invited the beautiful beauty queen of Xikou City High School, Qi Jing, to play a piano piece for us to enhance the atmosphere. How does that sound?" Speaking of the beauty queen of Xikou City High School, those in the know all turned to look at Xiao Manxuan and Qi Jing. Tonight, the two of them were the standout females, but compared to each other, Qi Jing was far inferior. Bai Yufeng had intended to give Sun Decai some face by having his companion shine for a moment, but this remark had the opposite effect. After comparisons, Xiao Manxuan was acknowledged as the real beauty queen. With his companion outshone, Sun Decai’s expression turned ugly, and as the person concerned, Qi Jing wasn’t feeling great either. Though lacking in other aspects, she was confident in her piano skills, having practiced since she was young. Qi Jing gave Xiao Manxuan a challenging look and gracefully walked to the stage, where a piano was located at one side. She was wearing a black dress tonight, sitting by the piano, indeed looking quite classy as she raised her hands to start playing. When it came to music, Lin Tian was an outsider, and he was only limited to listening to pop music, which couldn’t be compared to those highbrow marches. Qi Jing indeed knew her way around the piano, and it sounded quite pleasant. As for what she was playing, Lin Tian wasn’t too sure, it seemed like it could have been a piece by Chopin or Mozart. When the piece ended, it was met with enthusiastic applause. "Thank you for your applause. Xiao Manxuan, a student from our school, has also come to the party. Why don’t we invite her to perform too?" Qi Jing nodded in thanks, but shifted the focus onto Xiao Manxuan, causing the crowd below to stir up some noise. Xiao Manxuan kept a low profile at Xikou City High School, hardly participating in public school activities, unlike Qi Jing, who was very active at school. Some even thought Xiao Manxuan was just a vase-like beauty, and that was exactly what Qi Jing thought. As friends for two years, Liu Wenxing saw her embarrassing others, especially his sister-in-law, and he was displeased, frowning, "Brother Tian, how has Qi Jing changed like this? She used to be proud, but now she’s become too petty." "Wenxing, the past is the past," Lin Tian had come to terms with it, saying indifferently, "Maybe she was always like this, it’s just that we didn’t know her well enough." Holding Lin Tian’s hand, Xiao Manxuan blinked her eyes and smiled, "Lin Tian, I can play the piano too. How about I go up and play a piece for you?" "You can?" Lin Tian couldn’t believe it; since he had known her, Xiao Manxuan had always been a feisty little girl, seemingly unrelated to music. The little girl glared at him defiantly, then grinned slyly, "Underestimating me, huh? If I play better than Qi Jing, you have to agree to a condition of mine, do you dare?" This little girl saw Qi Jing as Lin Tian’s ex-girlfriend, and she was a bit upset inside. Even the gentlest of girls can’t help but compare themselves with the ex. So when Lin Tian doubted her, the little girl got annoyed. Her quirky nature was something Lin Tian had experienced since the first day he met her, but it was just one condition; not agreeing would seem like he was afraid of her. Lin Tian pretended to be serious, "No problem, I’ll agree to one condition. If Second Miss wants this bodyguard by her side tonight, I won’t resist." "Ugh, who wants you by their side?" Xiao Manxuan’s face turned red, and she spat at him, feigning composure, "Enough already, I’m going up, Little Linzi, Little Wenzi, give me a round of applause." Little Linzi? Little Wenzi? Couldn’t she drop the ’zi’? It sounded so awkward; the bodyguard tended to her daily needs, but he wasn’t the legendary eunuch. Lin Tian and Liu Wenxing shared a speechless look and could only clap vigorously to welcome this "Princess" onstage. "Liebestraum by Liszt, for you," Xiao Manxuan sat at the piano, glanced at Lin Tian, and whispered. She thought Lin Tian couldn’t hear her, but in fact, he heard her loud and clear. Lin Tian queried Liu Wenxing, puzzled, "Who’s Liszt?" "Don’t know." Liu Wenxing scratched his head, then suddenly exclaimed, "I remember now, Liszt is a character from Everyday Racers, yeah, not bad!" "Damn, you’re really uncultured, Liszt should be someone in music," Lin Tian disdainfully said. As they were discussing, a serene and gentle melody started playing, drawing their attention back.
