Although Ji Ling was not as tall as the Lord of Richard, the scornful look in his eyes and the arrogant look on his face still made the middle-aged male noble's face turn red. His eyes were filled with anger as if he was going to devour someone.
However, Ji Ling was not afraid at all. He even had the mood to raise his chin and let out a provocative sneer.
A mere Lord who only dared to bully a commoner was nothing in front of his father. He was sure that Lord Richard would not dare to do anything. Otherwise, with the original owner's arrogant personality, if he did not have a strong backer, he would have been beaten to death long ago.
This was the strict hierarchy of the Empire's nobles.
Lord Richard's face turned red, then white, then red. He gritted his teeth so hard that they were about to break. Wine dripped down his face. He was embarrassed … but in the end, he endured it.
He did not dare to touch Ji Ling.
It was not only because Ji Ling was the precious only son of Grand Duke Ji Ting and Madam Marina, but also because of a rumor that had recently spread among the nobles of the empire that Grand Duke Carlos was extremely fond of Ji Ling.
He was doted on by two Grand Dukes at the same time, and one of them was the bloody and terrifying Grand Duke Ka Luosi …
Even if he had a hundred guts, he would not dare to show his dissatisfaction to Ji Ling. Those commoners were untouchables in Lord Richard's eyes, but in front of a high-ranking noble like Ji Ling … wasn't he also a "untouchable"?
After a while, Lord Richard showed a twisted smile and bowed, "I'm sorry, I didn't know he was your man."
Ji Ling snorted and raised his eyebrows, "Now you know."
Lord Richard lowered his head in shame and said, "Yes, I was wrong today. I beg for your forgiveness for my ignorance."
Ji Ling glanced at him, and cold sweat trickled down Lord Richard's forehead.
If he couldn't get Ji Ling's forgiveness today, as long as Ji Ling casually said a few words about him in front of Grand Duke Ji Ting or Grand Duke Ka Luosi, he would be driven into a corner if he was lucky, or dead if he was unlucky.
Ji Ling watched as the tall middle-aged man trembled slightly, sweat pouring down like rain. Finally, he waved his hand in disgust and said, "Get lost."
Lord Richard felt like he had just been pardoned. He bowed respectfully to Ji Ling and quickly left this place that had humiliated him so much.
Ji Ling watched him leave in a hurry, a contemptuous smile on his face.
It's another day of bullying others … How delightful.
After dealing with Lord Richard, Ji Ling turned around with a proud smile. However, when he looked into Wenyan's eyes, he was shocked by the burning heat in them.
This man had always been a man with deep thoughts, who would never show his emotions even if Mount Tai collapsed. But now, when he looked into Wenyan's eyes, it seemed to contain some kind of extremely strong and complicated emotion. It was so deep that it could make one's heart jump!
Ji Ling:???
I did the same thing in my previous life. My actions should have been completely within your calculations, but now you look so touched. What the hell is this?!
Do you have to act so real?
After the incident with Carlos, Ji Ling was very sensitive to these anomalies that were different from his previous life. He looked at Wen Yan with some caution.
He decided to finish the story as soon as possible.
Therefore, Ji Ling put his hands behind his back and gazed at the direction where the Lord of Richard left. He let out a contemptuous laugh, "What an idiot. He doesn't even understand the simple principle of looking at the owner before hitting a dog."
His tone, expression, and posture seemed to be talking about Lord Richard, but in fact, he didn't treat Wenyan as an equal at all!
This was why Wenyan didn't hesitate to use the original owner. The original owner stood up for him because Wenyan had made him happy. In essence, the way he looked at Wenyan was no different from other nobles. He stood up for Wenyan because of the principle of looking at the owner before hitting a dog. He didn't know that in Wenyan's eyes, he was the laughable prey.
He was stupid and didn't know it.
Ji Ling followed his character completely. After doing a good deed, he started to do his best to attract hatred … This way, Wenyan would follow the development of the plot and become good friends with Ning Yu in the later stages. On the surface, he would pretend to help Ji Ling deal with Ning Yu, but in reality, he would help Ning Yu deal with Ji Ling.
After saying that, Ji Ling glanced at Wenyan. He felt that he had mastered the essence of acting as a spoiled brat.
Usually, when faced with this kind of subconscious contempt and humiliation, Wenyan would never show any displeasure. He would just leave respectfully as usual. The original owner never noticed anything wrong, but Ji Ling knew that this was a kind of disdain from the bottom of his heart.
However, this time, Ji Ling waited for a long time, but Wenyan didn't say anything.
Just when he was a little confused, Wenyan suddenly looked away respectfully, lowered his head slightly, and said, "You're right."
Ji Ling: "…?"
