Just as Song Xuefei was about to speak, Hou Tianlei interrupted her: "Ye Qingtian, I know your background, you're from the top family of the Huaxia's four major aristocratic families, the Tianjing Ye Family. Logically speaking, with your family background, no one in Jin City should dare to provoke you. However, it's a pity that you have no connection with the Ye Family, so you're no different than an ordinary person."
Hou Tianlei's underling Qiao Guohong snorted coldly: "Yeah, he really thinks he's the Eldest Young Master of the Ye Family? Don't you have any self-awareness of your own situation?"
Seeing Ye Qingtian ignore him, Qiao Guohong continued: "I heard you're a reincarnation of a jinx, anyone who gets close to you ends up having bad luck, you almost brought ruin to the Ye Family."
"Is that true? That's so amazing."
Someone next to them asked.
"It's true, this kid practically cursed his mom to death back then, and his dad got so angry that he kicked him out of the house!"
Qiao Guohong explained.
"Ah? That's incredible, he really is a jinx!"
Everyone was shocked.
"What did you just say?"
Ye Qingtian asked slowly.
"I said you cursed your mom to death..."
"Bang!"
Just as Qiao Guohong was speaking halfway, he felt a huge force hit him, pulling him down instantly.
"Splash!"
Ye Qingtian pressed Qiao Guohong's head into a basin full of soup, his entire face submerged in the scalding soup.
"Ugh—"
Instantly, a scream like a pig being slaughtered echoed in the restaurant.
Everyone was stunned, their eyes wide open in shock.
Nobody expected this sudden scene.
"You can insult me, but don't insult my mother!"
Ye Qingtian's voice sounded as if it came from the Nine Netherworld Hell, the temperature around suddenly dropped, causing everyone present to shiver involuntarily.
Ye Qingtian kept pressing Qiao Guohong's head down, who was going frantic: "Save me! Young Master Hou, save me! I'm going to die!"
Seeing this, Hou Tianlei shouted angrily: "Ye Qingtian, what are you doing? Let go! Are you crazy?"
Ye Qingtian's mouth curled into a cold smile: "Who do you think you are? Why should I listen to you?"
"Let go of him!"
Just as Qiao Guohong was about to struggle, Ye Qingtian exerted more force, holding him down firmly.
Qiao Guohong screamed out again.
Ye Qingtian's actions were a clear indication of his stance.
Everyone in the restaurant was stunned again.
"Is this kid trying to challenge Hou Tianlei?"
"Hou Tianlei comes from a prominent background, his family has tens of millions in assets, and he excels in everything. He's a legitimate young master, he could crush him with a mere flick of a finger, yet he's facing off against Hou Tianlei directly?"
"Exactly, Young Master Hou is destined to become a dragon among men like Qin Lingtian in the future, how could he be compared to a worthless and abandoned young master?"
"I heard Hou Tianlei has been practicing External Fist since childhood, even the city's Taekwondo champion was easily defeated by him! To offend him is suicidal!"
...
All eyes were fixed on the two.
Hou Tianlei's face turned completely frosty as he coldly said: "Ye Qingtian, I'll give you ten seconds to reconsider."

...
"No need, you don't have to give me a single second."
Ye Qingtian increased the pressure, and Qiao Guohong let out a heart-wrenching scream.
He looked overwhelmingly arrogant, not considering Hou Tianlei at all.
"Fine, you've got guts!"
Hou Tianlei was in complete rage, as if the temperature around suddenly dropped.
"Captain, let it go, let it go. I apologize on his behalf! We are classmates; it's unnecessary to strain things from the start! Just give him some face!"
Zhang Chenyi quickly stood out, pulling the furious Hou Tianlei aside.
"Yeah, there's no need to make things rigid. Class leader, we apologize on behalf of Ye Qingtian, boss, quickly let go of him."
Kong Tiansheng and Lu Lianlong joined to pull Ye Qingtian away.
"Ah! It hurts so much!"
Once freed, Qiao Guohong ran frantically, his face red and tender as if a layer of skin had been torn off, looking very frightening.
"Ye Qingtian, I'll remember today!"
Hou Tianlei left a remark and then left with Song Xuefei and the others.
"Boss, wasn't that a bit too much?"
Kong Tiansheng looked at Ye Qingtian fearfully.
Ye Qingtian wasn't bothered, calmly sitting down to continue eating, as if nothing had happened just now.
Once again, everyone was shocked.
In the school hospital.
"Thankfully nothing happened, how could Ye Qingtian be so ruthless?"
Song Xuefei complained.
"Yes."
Hou Tianlei clenched his fists, a cold glint flashing in his eyes.
"Hmph, Ye Qingtian, you're not giving me, Hou Tianlei, any face! Fine, I'll regain this face sooner or later!"
...
Evening.
In the dormitory, Ye Qingtian received a call from Qin Lingyue.
"Hello, is anything wrong?"
Ye Qingtian asked indifferently.
"Is there anything wrong still? Ye Qingtian, don't you know what you did today? You provoked Hou Tianlei, and you even burned Qiao Guohong! You're really something!"
Qin Lingyue's shouting voice came through the phone.
"Oh, that thing, what's up?"
Ye Qingtian didn't mind.
"Hmph, what's up? You've offended Hou Tianlei. He's at the same school as me, the top at First High School. His abilities and family background far surpass yours, yet you dare to offend him!"
"So what? As long as he doesn't offend me, I assure you he'll be safe."
Ye Qingtian was very calm.
"Haha, offend him, and you might not even know how you'll die. I've just looked for Hou Tianlei, he won't pursue this further for the sake of my face. My parents have repeatedly told you, don't cause trouble for me! If there's a next time, I won't bother with it! Beep beep beep..."
Qin Lingyue finished talking and angrily hung up.
Ye Qingtian's expression was cold, as he tossed his phone aside.
"Boss's girlfriend?"
Kong Tiansheng looked at Ye Qingtian with a suggestive grin.
Ye Qingtian snorted coldly: "Just a foolish woman."
The next day.
Freshmen at Jin City University began their military training, all the freshmen waited on the playground.
The students from the three classes of the finance department stood together, forming a platoon.
"Boss, look, the class beauty from finance class one, also school beauty Qin Lingyue!"
Fatty shouted excitedly.
Sure enough, Ye Qingtian saw Qin Lingyue and a few girls approaching, there's no denying Qin Lingyue's outstanding looks, even in military training clothes she couldn't hide her stunning face and fiery figure.
As soon as Qin Lingyue arrived, she attracted almost everyone's attention.
Qin Lingyue took her place among her class, but as she passed, she shot Ye Qingtian a fierce glare.
"Why do I feel like school beauty Qin seems to be looking this way?"
Fatty couldn't resist gasping.
"You wish! How could school beauty Qin look at us common folk? Not to mention, Eldest Young Master Zhuo Feiyang is a strong pursuer of school beauty Qin, and we're just nobodies!"
Someone said dismissively.
"Whoa, the class beauty of finance class three, Jiang Zixuan, is here too! It's awesome to have the three class beauties of the finance department gathered for military training this time!"
Not just Fatty, all the other guys in the class were also thrilled.
A little distance away, four girls walked over.
