Biên tập viên: EndlessFantasy Translation
Lin Xiang was furious but he could only take it out on the servant.
"What the f*ck are you talking about? Why didn't you tell me earlier? How am I supposed to find another now? If this banquet ends in a disaster, you will be the one to blame."
"Don't just stand there, you idiots. Find me a pianist!"
Lin Xiang's men wasted no time making calls or running off to find a replacement.
They knew Lin Xiang's temper too well. A slightly upset Lin Xiang meant a good beating for them.
Li Leyi did not want to remain and embarrass himself further. He took Cui Si by her hand and started to head back to his car to go home. What was the point of staying?
"Young Master Li, are you leaving already? Why don't you just come on in?"
Li Leyi stopped and looked at Lin Xiang in confusion. What was this guy trying to do?
Cui Si simply turned around and obliged Lin Xiang.
But once again, they were stopped by the guards upon reaching the entrance. Cui Si turned back to look at Lin Xiang unhappily.
"Lin Xiang, what is the meaning of this? What do you want from us?"
Lin Xiang smiled disdainfully. What else could he want? To humiliate Li Leyi, of course. After all, they were enemies.
"Nothing much. Just that if you guys want to enter, Leyi will have to bow down to me and call me Brother."
Leyi's face darkened. Bow down to Lin Xiang? Over his dead body!
Cui Si was also very unhappy. The couple turned around to leave once more. But Lin Xiang stopped them again. "Fine if you don't want to bow down to me, I'll make do with you just calling me Brother."
Li Leyi's face remained gloomy. He was extremely unwilling, but in the end, he still turned around and walked to Lin Xiang.
"Brother, can you let me in?!"
The crowd heard Leyi's request and was shocked. Everyone knew that the Li family's young master and the Lin family's young master had been enemies since they were young.
Now that the Li family's young master had submitted to the Lin family's young master, it seemed that the young society of Shanghai would be dominated by the latter.
Cui Si was infuriated by this scene. But alas, there was nothing she could do.
Seeing Leyi like this immediately lifted Lin Xiang's mood. He generously waved his hand and let Li Leyi and Cui Si in. It's not like he would lose out on anything by letting them in to eat.
The moment they got in, Cui Si headed straight for the buffet table. She picked up a plate and kept adding things to it as if she was a starving ghost who had not eaten in eight lifetimes.
Li Leyi, on the other hand, was not in the mood to eat at all. He was busy looking out for a person.
Not long after, Lin Xiang and his father walked in with an old man.
The old man had a head full of white hair, but his complexion was ruddy and his body was well-built. He was not as old as he seemed. When Li Leyi saw him, his eyes lit up.
Dean Mou was a world-famous neurologist. Only he could save his sister.
Li Leyi walked over quickly and bowed deeply to Dean Mou before introducing himself.
"Hello, Dean Mou. I'm Li Leyi from the Li family. Sorry to bother you, but I have something very important to ask of you. You may name any price."
Lin Xiang and his father caught up to the two of them. Lin's father looked a little displeased as he glared at Lin Xiang. This was such an important day and yet he still let outsiders in. If today's matter was ruined, Lin Xiang would not have a good ending either.
"Li Leyi, I let you in because I allowed you to keep your last ounce of dignity. Don't be so shameless here. Get out of our way."
Dean Mou stepped forward to stop Lin Xiang. Those who would beg him as Leyi did were usually the family members of his patients. Based on Leyi's behavior, his family members must be in a dire situation. Nothing is more important to a doctor than his patients.
"Young Man, don't be anxious. Please speak freely."
Li Leyi recounted his sister's condition to Dean Mou as the former looked at the latter with hope in his eyes.
Lin's father walked up and looked at Li Leyi with displeasure. His eyes were warning Li Leyi to back off.
"Dean Mou, let's finish our discussion first."
Dean Mou nodded and walked off with Lin's father.
Li Leyi was so anxious that he wanted to approach Dean Mou again. However, he was quickly stopped by the Lin family's security personnel. Cui Si also hurried over and told Li Leyi not to be anxious.
Not long after, Dean Mou, Lin's father, and the others walked out. Then, Dean Mou approached Li Leyi.
"Young Man, I've agreed to your matter. This is my business card. Contact me in the next two days. I'll bring my team to examine your sister."
Li Leyi held Dean Mou's business card in his hands. He was so excited that he could not speak.
At this moment, one of Lin Xiang's men walked over and whispered something into Lin Xiang's ear. It did not seem like good news.
Lin Xiang's expression turned ugly. He almost could not help but curse.
