<h4>Chapter 1819: Chapter 1812: Zhao Yuanlong</h4>


    The music ended, and Lu Tianxing and Qiu Yingrong walked hand in hand out of the dance floor.


    At this moment, Qiu Yingrong’s pretty face carried a slight blush, akin to having had a drink, rosy in the light, resembling a ripe peach, exuding an irresistible mature charm, alluring beyond measure, sparking a desire in one’s heart at first nce to conquer her.


    Seeing Qiu Yingrong’s flushed face and her glistening eyes, Lu Tianxing was slightly dazed, but quickly regained hisposure.


    "Thank you, Miss Qiu, for saving my face just now, preventing me from embarrassment," Lu Tianxing said with a smile to Qiu Yingrong.


    "Mr. Lu, I’m the one who should thank you. I initially didn’t want to dance with Wei Xu, and if it weren’t for you, I wouldn’t have known how to refuse."


    Looking at Lu Tianxing’s manly and charming face, Qiu Yingrong felt a stir within her, but she tried her best to control her voice, yet it was still evident that she was not at peace inside.


    Lu Tianxing chuckled lightly, didn’t say anything further, but swept his gaze around. Upon seeing Jiang Tianbao approaching from afar, he immediately mentioned it to Bai Zhiqing and the other twodies, picked up a ss of wine, and walked towards Jiang Tianbao.


    "Mr. Lu, you are truly blessed with beauty; it’s enviable indeed," Jiang Tianbao immediately remarked as Lu Tianxing approached.


    Upon hearing Jiang Tianbao’s words, Lu Tianxing, with a hint of exasperation, replied, "Lord Buddha, you’re talking as if you don’t have beauties by your side. Should I shout here that Lord Buddha is looking for some beauties for a dance, guess how many would sign up?"


    Hearing Lu Tianxing’s words, Jiang Tianbao quickly waved his hand, saying, "Forget it, I don’t have your capability, facing a group of womenpeting with each other; it would be better to kill me. By the way, haven’t seen Young Master Qiu, where did he go?"


    "Young Master Qiu ran into a few of the Qiu Family’s business partners, so he went over."


    Lu Tianxing exined and said, "But Lord Buddha, shouldn’t you be mingling a bit,working, maintaining contacts?"


    "Mingling, maintaining contacts?"


    Jiang Tianbao sighed and said, "Forget it, it’s too exhausting, chatting with a group of masked people; what’s the point? Constantly wary of them while having to maintain a friendly facade, it’s too troublesome. I’d rather honestly be the boss of my underground boxing ring, earn some money, and let the days pass."


    Upon hearing Jiang Tianbao’s words, Lu Tianxing was about to say something when suddenly a in-looking young man, no taller than 1.6 meters, approached. The man was dressed in a ck suit with shiny ck shoes. This outfit cost at least a few hundred thousand, but on this man, itcked any aura, as if a beggar was wearing a magnificent robe.


    Though the man appeared utterly ordinary in looks and demeanor, being invited by Jiang Tianbao to the ball, he was naturally anything but ordinary, undoubtedly wealthy or noble.


    This man who suddenly came over was none other than Zhao Yuanlong, who had previously mocked Wei Xu.


    "Lord Buddha."


    Zhao Yuanlong approached Jiang Tianbao and promptly greeted.


    Upon seeing Zhao Yuanlong, Jiang Tianbao disyed a faint smile, lightly punched Zhao Yuanlong in the chest, "Where have you been hiding! I couldn’t find you at all. I thought you wouldn’t honor me by attending tonight’s ball!"


    Zhao Yuanlong grinned, revealing a very sincere smile: "How could that be, Lord Buddha, you invited me; even if I were in Qin Ind, let alone Coal Province, I’d make sure to attend. I apologize for making you look for me earlier, punishing myself with a drink."


    With that, Zhao Yuanlong picked up his tall ss and drank the wine in it in one go.


    "Lord Buddha, your friend here is quite unfamiliar, won’t you introduce us?"


    Zhao Yuanlong finished his drink, handed his ss to a nearby waiter, then directed his gaze towards Lu Tianxing, a hint of curiosity in his eyes.


    Lu Tianxing’s deeds in Beijing have made him quite famous, echoing across thend, yet the details about him were suppressed by unseen hands. Though many knew of Lu Tianxing, few knew his appearance; Zhao Yuanlong’s unfamiliarity with Lu Tianxing wasn’t too surprising.


    Upon hearing this, Jiang Tianbao nced at Lu Tianxing, noted his ongoing smile, then pondered and said, "Just call him Mr. Lu!"


    Jiang Tianbao didn’t reveal Lu Tianxing’s background to the young man, not because he didn’t want to, but because Lu Tianxing hadn’t spoken, so he couldn’t divulge Lu Tianxing’s identity.


    "Mr. Lu, I am Zhao Yuanlong, pleased to meet you."


    With that, Zhao Yuanlong took a ss of wine from a passing waiter’s tray, raised it towards Lu Tianxing.


    Lu Tianxing also lifted his tall ss, gently clinked sses with him, and both took a sip.


    After sipping the wine, Zhao Yuanlong looked at Lu Tianxing and said, "Mr. Lu, you’ve thoroughly offended Wei Xu this time."


    "Thoroughly offended him? What do you mean?" Lu Tianxing softly spoke.


    Not knowing Zhao Yuanlong well, Lu Tianxing naturally wouldn’t speak frankly to him. In this day and age, the more candid you are with people, the more likely you’ll be doomed very realistically.


    "Mr. Lu, you must be aware of Wei Xu’s personality; he’s a petty, vengeful man."


    Zhao Yuanlong looked at Lu Tianxing and said earnestly, "And just now you humiliated him in front of everyone, disgracing himpletely. He surely won’t let you off, wille causing trouble soon; you better be cautious."


    "In this world, there’s no hatred without cause, nor is there love without cause. Why tell me this? Do you have a grudge against him?"


    Upon hearing Lu Tianxing’s words, Zhao Yuanlong’s expression stiffened, hesitantly saying, "No major grudge, just displeasure with the guy, not being able to deal with him myself, so looking for a helping hand."


    "Why hesitate, we’re all familiar faces, nothing unspeakable."


    Jiang Tianbao couldn’t help but interject from the side, "No major grudge? A grudge of a stolen wife isn’t a major grudge? Mr. Lu, you’re unaware, his fiancée was wooed by Wei Xu from under his nose, and this guy has a hatbeled ’forgive me’ given by Wei Xu perched on his head!"


    "Lord Buddha, didn’t we agree not to mention this again? Why bring this up now? Do you believe I’ll bring people to your underground boxing ring and make you lose even your shorts?" Zhao Yuanlongmented.


    And standing beside him, Lu Tianxing, upon hearing Jiang Tianbao’s words, had a sudden realization; seeminglyst night, Qiu Tianrui mentioned that Wei Xu had once undermined a man named Zhao Yuanlong; could this possibly be the very man?
