Starforce Warriors

Chapter 210: Uninvited Guest

"Even though I joke about you being a kept man every day, I never thought you'd actually go through with it behind our backs." Someone quipped. "Who wouldn't want such a beautiful and wealthy woman, even if she comes with a daughter?"

"Hello, everyone. I've heard a lot about you from Little Bai, and I'm so glad to finally meet you all and host you today. Please, have a seat," Miao Youwei smiled warmly at them. Her voice carried an undeniable charm that naturally drew people in. It was a clear sign of her refined upbringing.

Everyone settled back into their seats. Instead of leaving, Miao Youwei accepted Bai Longfei's invitation to join them, giving her fiancé plenty of face in front of his friends.

"Sister, you're so beautiful," Ren Dong said as she moved closer. "Can I sit next to you?"

"Of course you can, little sister. You're very pretty too," Miao Youwei responded with a smile.

"Hey, Little Dongdong, you traitor! Didn’t you just say you’d sit next to me?" Tan Qingying remarked with mock exasperation.

This freckled little girl seemed to be more attracted to pretty women than most men were. She was ready to pounce and sit beside any beautiful lady she saw.

Ren Dong stuck out her tongue at Tan Qingqing. "Sister Miao is not only beautiful, but she's also kind, mature, and rich... Of course, I have to abandon you and get close to her. Who knows? Maybe I’ll get a discount the next time I come here."

"Alright, that's it! I'm going to punish you!" Tan Qingying exclaimed as she playfully lunged at Ren Dong.

The room echoed with laughter as the joyful atmosphere filled every corner.

Miao Youwei smiled and said, "You're all Little Bai's friends, so feel free to come here anytime you want to gather. Think of this place as your celebration base—everything is on the house, anytime."

"How can we accept that? Well, if you insist, it's a deal then."

"I’ll be here often!"

"Can we get takeout too?"

The group responded with exaggerated enthusiasm, making the most of the generous offer.

Laughter filled the room, and the atmosphere reached its peak. Despite being newcomers, Miao Youwei and Tan Qingying fit in perfectly. They were both beautiful, intelligent, and from affluent families. Their skill in navigating the dynamics of a group gathering was impressive as they seamlessly kept everyone engaged in conversation and ensured no one felt left out.

Li Xiaofei could tell that the connection between Bai Longfei and Miao Youwei was genuine. The occasional glances they exchanged, filled with sweetness and warmth, were unmistakably sincere.

The little girl, Du Juan, was well-behaved and polite. She had clearly been raised with excellent manners. It was obvious how deeply she adored Bai Longfei. Li Xiaofei couldn’t help but feel a sense of admiration. Bai Longfei truly seemed to be a winner in life.

Among everyone, only Yan Chiyu maintained a slight sense of detachment. She naturally had a cool and aloof personality, but today, she was as relaxed as she could be.

The group was in the midst of their joyful eating, drinking, and bantering when suddenly, a booming voice echoed from outside.

"Miao Youwei, I’m here to propose! You must marry me!"

The voice was loud, domineering, and brimming with arrogance. The lively atmosphere in the private room abruptly fell silent. Everyone turned, stunned, toward the source of the commotion outside.

Miao Youwei's delicate eyebrows furrowed slightly as she said, "Excuse me, something has come up. I need to handle it."

Bai Longfei immediately stood up and said, "I'll go with you."

The two of them left the private room.

Li Xiaofei also stood up and said, "Let's go take a look. Maybe we can help."

The rest of the group followed them out. When they reached the lobby, they saw that a group of people had barged in, led by a tall, young man in an expensive black suit. He had a pale complexion and, at first glance, could be considered handsome.

There were a group of about a dozen young men behind him. They looked like spoiled rich kids as they all sported mischievous grins. There were another ten men dressed in matching black combat suits. Their imposing stature gave away their occupation as bodyguards.

The immaculately dressed young man held a bouquet of roses.

"You can't hide forever, Youwei." He said, looking at Miao Youwei. He pulled out a massive Star Core Crystal ring that he had prepared and continued, "I am sincere in my feelings for you. Today, I’m proposing in public, giving you all the respect you deserve. Marry me."

Li Xiaofei and the others exchanged glances. It turned out to be a suitor, who had come straight to the restaurant to propose. The fact that he pulled out a Star Core Crystal ring that was worth millions made it clear that this man was either extremely wealthy or came from an influential background.

"Sorry, I refuse," Miao Youwei responded without any hesitation.

"Why?" The young man demanded, "I've been very patient and tolerant with you, Miao Youwei. Why reject me?"

Miao Youwei calmly replied, "Because I’m your sister-in-law."

"But my useless older brother is already dead." The young man, Du Hongfei, retorted indifferently. "Besides, you never had feelings for him. Are you really going to stay loyal to a man who died of illness? It’s not unheard of for a sister-in-law to marry her brother-in-law."

"I'm not interested in you," Miao Youwei said, her face showing clear disgust. "I already have a fiancé, so stop bothering me."

"A fiancé? Hah, you mean that broke high schooler living off of you?" Du Hongfei sneered. "What’s this? You actually fell for your little boy toy?"

Bai Longfei couldn't take it anymore and snapped, "Watch your damn mouth."

"And who the hell are you?" Du Hongfei turned to sneer at Bai Longfei. "You dare to talk to me like that, you pathetic dog? Do you want your entire family to disappear by tomorrow?"

"Bad man! Don’t bully Mama and Papa Bai!" Little Du Juan, clinging to her mother, shouted loudly in protest.

"Papa Bai?" Du Hongfei was momentarily stunned, then quickly flew into a rage. "Miao Youwei, you have some nerve, letting a child of the Du family call this freeloading little bastard Papa?"

"This is my choice, and it’s also Du Juan's choice," Miao Youwei retorted immediately. "You have no say in the matter."

"You wretch!" Du Hongfei shouted angrily, "You dared to take Du family money and use it to support a wild man outside, and then speak such shameless words? If you won’t behave, I’ll have to make sure you do... Men, grab that little girl! Du family blood must be controlled by the Du family."

Four bodyguards in black combat suits immediately strode swiftly forward. Clearly, they were experts at the Limit Breaking Realm.

Bai Longfei stepped forward, placing himself in front of Miao Youwei.

"Beat him to death," Du Hongfei ordered coldly.

Miao Youwei pulled Bai Longfei back a step and said, "Uncle Liang, take them down."

Suddenly, figures shot forward from various corners of the restaurant. These were also highly skilled martial artists. As a wealthy and influential figure in the city, Miao Youwei naturally had bodyguards around her.

The elder known as Uncle Liang had been with Miao Youwei for six years. She trusted him deeply. He had broken eight shackles in the Limit Breaking Realm and had extensive combat experience. He was extremely reliable.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Energy exploded outward as the five experts clashed and then quickly separated. The other people in the restaurant, sensing the escalating danger, no longer dared to stick around and hurriedly made their exit.

Du Hongfei watched Miao Youwei with a sudden, sinister smile.

"Heh, my dear sister-in-law, did you really think I’d come here without preparing?"

He grinned nastily as he continued, "Uncle Liang, why don’t you go ahead and grab the girl for me?"

The elder, Uncle Liang, turned to Miao Youwei with an expressionless face and said, "Madam, I’m sorry, but it’s best if you hand over the child."

"Uncle Liang, you..." Miao Youwei was utterly shocked.

She had never expected that her most trusted bodyguard would betray her at this crucial moment.
