I am the Holy Poisoner, the Empress advised me to calm down

"Since my eldest brother is so modest, I'll let him speak. Everyone here, remember this: when you see my eldest brother from now on, be respectful!"

Lin Ya was so scared that her legs went weak. She had just said a lot of unpleasant words and now she regretted it.

"Mr. Chen...Mr. Chen, I just..."

"What did you say just now?" Chen Haoran looked at her coldly, "Didn't you just say that my eldest brother was trash, second-hand goods?"

Lin Ya's face turned pale: "I...I didn't mean that..."

"That's not what I meant?" Chen Haoran pressed on. "What do you mean then?"

The people around him retreated, fearing they would be affected. Everyone knew Chen Haoran's temper; if he got angry, the consequences would be disastrous.

"Mr. Chen, I really don't know..." Lin Ya almost cried.

"You can slander others without knowing anything?" Chen Haoran sneered. "Lin Ya, your husband's Hengtai Group seems to have a lot of cooperation with our family, right?"

Lin Ya trembled all over. This was a threat to her family business!

"Mr. Chen, please forgive my mistakes..."

"That's enough." Qin Yu finally spoke, "Xiao Chen, that's enough."

Chen Haoran immediately put away his angry expression: "Brother, you are very broad-minded, but some people just don't know what's good for them."

Qin Yu looked at those who had just mocked him and said calmly, "People tend to go to higher places, and water flows to lower places. This is normal. I just hope that everyone can use their brains before speaking in the future."

Everyone nodded their heads in agreement, not daring to show any dissatisfaction.

Liu Ying looked at the scene before her with mixed feelings. She hadn't expected Qin Yu to have such a network of connections, and she hadn't expected those who had mocked her earlier to be like this.

"Brother, you and Miss Liu please sit down first. I'll go and make some arrangements." Chen Haoran said attentively.

Soon, the atmosphere in the venue completely changed. Those who had just looked down on Qin Yu were now rushing over to toast and greet him, their attitudes so respectful that it was unbelievable.

"Mr. Qin, I apologize for any offense I caused you."

"Yeah, it's all a misunderstanding, a misunderstanding!"

"Mr. Qin is truly a man of hidden talents. We have been blind to his true potential."

Faced with these people's flattery, Qin Yu simply nodded and ignored them. He had seen too many such fence-sitters, whose expressions changed faster than the pages of a book.

Lin Ya was completely wilted at this time, huddled in the corner, no longer with the arrogant look she had just had.

"Ying Er, you are so lucky." Someone said enviously.

"Yes, it's really enviable to be with a talent like Mr. Qin."

Liu Ying merely smiled politely, but a mixture of emotions welled up inside her. The rapid change in these people's attitudes gave her a deeper understanding of human nature.

Halfway through the banquet, Chen Haoran suddenly pulled Qin Yu aside and said, "Brother, there's something I need to tell you."

"what's up?"

"It's about the Wang family." Chen Haoran lowered his voice. "I heard that Wang Yun has been spreading rumors about you everywhere recently, saying that you stole their medical books."

Qin Yu raised his eyebrows slightly: "Oh? There is such a thing?"

"Brother, do you want me to teach him a lesson?" A hint of ruthlessness flashed in Chen Haoran's eyes.

"No need." Qin Yu waved his hand. "He's just a clown. He won't be around for many days."

"That……"

"Let's take it one step at a time." Qin Yu looked at Liu Ying who was talking with others. "Some things should be resolved at this time."

Xiao Yun held his teacup, looking out the window at the yellowing sycamore leaves. The Liu family's courtyard was completely silent, with only the occasional chirping of birds. He truly didn't take the rumors seriously. He'd seen enough ups and downs over the years, so a few words of gossip meant nothing.

Just as I was thinking about it, I heard the roar of a car engine outside the courtyard gate, followed by the sound of hurried footsteps and the voices of several people talking.

"I heard that Xiao Yun is going to make a fool of himself today."

"Yeah, if you offend Fang Shuwen, will there be any consequences?"

"I think he's dead this time."

Liu Hong hurried over from the front hall, his face somewhat serious: "Brother Xiao, there are quite a few people outside, and it seems they are coming for you."

Xiao Yun put down the teacup and smiled calmly: "Since you are here, let's meet."

As they walked into the front yard, they saw a dozen people gathered at the door, pointing and talking. The leader was a middle-aged man wearing designer clothes, with a gloating expression on his face.

"Xiao Yun, you finally came out." The middle-aged man said sarcastically, "Today we have a good show to watch."

Before he finished speaking, a red Ferrari came roaring in, its tires screeching on the ground. The door opened, and Lin Shaoze jumped out, his face still adorned with the cynicism of a dandy.

When everyone saw Lin Shaoze appear, they all had an expression of anticipation for a good show in their eyes.

"Hey, isn't this Young Master Lin?" the middle-aged man said with a smile, "Are you here to see Xiao Yun's joke?"

"Laughing at my joke?" Lin Shaoze raised his eyebrows. "Who the hell do you think you are? Are you worthy of laughing at my eldest brother?"

As soon as these words were spoken, the scene fell silent. Everyone stared with wide eyes, thinking they had misheard.

"Big...Brother?" someone asked stutteringly.

"That's right." Lin Shaoze walked up to Xiao Yun and bowed respectfully. "Brother Xiao, I'm sorry to have embarrassed you. I'll take care of these ignorant people."

After he finished speaking, he turned to face everyone, his face instantly darkening: "Listen carefully, Xiao Yun is my Lin Shaoze's eldest brother. Anyone who dares to disrespect him in the future is looking down on my Lin family. Think about the consequences before you speak."

Everyone was aware of the Lin family's influence in the local area. Upon hearing this, the crowd who had been laughing just now instantly changed their expressions.

"It's a misunderstanding, it's all a misunderstanding." The middle-aged man's forehead began to sweat. "Mr. Xiao, we were rude just now."

"Yes, yes, Mr. Xiao is young and promising. We have wanted to meet him for a long time."

"Mr. Xiao, can we have dinner together someday?"

Everyone's attitude took a 180-degree turn, and they all came forward to try to get close to him. Xiao Yun simply nodded calmly without saying anything more.

After the crowd dispersed, Lin Shaoze approached Xiao Yun and said in a low voice, "Brother, I followed your prescription for a few days. I went to the hospital for a checkup today, and the doctor said that I'm feeling much better."

"That's as it should be." Xiao Yun nodded, "But remember, if you don't change those bad habits, they will relapse sooner or later."

"Don't worry, big brother. I will definitely change." Lin Shaoze nodded repeatedly, then remembered something, "Oh, right, there's something else I need to tell you. That guy Fang Shuwen found an expert and said he wants to deal with you."

"Oh? Who?"

"I heard there's a Muay Thai champion from Silla named Park Jung-yeol. He's very famous in the underground boxing ring and is said to be undefeated." Lin Shaoze was a little worried, "Brother, do you want me to find someone..."
