Married at First Sight Chapter 5270

“Also, Chu Jiu has a name. From now on, if anyone dares to call her a tomboy again, Chu Jiu, don’t hold back. Slap them across the face. If anyone dares to cause you trouble, I’ll settle the score with them.”

Long Ting said in a deep voice, his eyes turning cold as he surveyed the people around him.

Finally, his gaze returned to Long Ruoyu, his voice even colder: “Miss Long, remember this? Whether Chu Jiu is worthy of me or not is up to me, not Miss Long.”

“In my opinion, Miss Long is the one who is unworthy of me. Even if you were to carry my shoes, I would find you disgusting because of your stench, afraid that you would make my shoes stink.”

Long Ruoyu: “…”

Ye Longting went too far!

She was, after all, the daughter of the acting head of the Long family. Ye Longting had publicly humiliated her and made her lose face. Needless to say, tonight’s events would spread throughout the entire H City.

“Chu Jiu, bring me a few drinks. I’ll have a couple with some bosses and then head back.”

The organizer immediately said, “Mr. Ye, I’ll go get them for you.”

“Thank you, but no need. Let my Chu Jiu go.”

Long Ting politely declined the offer and gestured for Chu Jiu to bring him a few drinks.

Chu Jiu turned and left.

She returned quickly, carrying a tray full of drinks, several glasses in total.

Chu Jiu placed the tray in front of Ye Long Ting, giving him a look that only Long Ting understood—a warning not to drink too much, as these were good wines with a high alcohol content, and drinking too much would make him drunk.

Long Ting smiled in return, indicating that he understood.

In his heart, however, he grumbled a bit. His Chu Jiu was practically a housekeeper, meddling in everything.

If he didn’t listen to her and something happened, she could nag him for half a month and even call his mother to complain about him.

Despite his grumbling, he was still uncomfortable if Chu Jiu didn’t take care of him.
Upon seeing this, the city’s high-ranking executives immediately surrounded Long Ting, toasting him.

Long Tuo and his daughter were quickly isolated from the crowd.

Seeing everyone’s flattery and fawning over Long Ting, the father and daughter looked displeased and, not wanting to remain there and be laughed at, got up and left.

Outside the hotel, Long Tuo muttered angrily, “Those people just look down on me, thinking I’m just a temporary head of the family.”

Long Ruoyu comforted her father, “Dad, we don’t have much business dealings with them, so why should they care who they’re currying favor with?”

“If I were the real head of the Long family, would they dare to fawn over that Ye family in front of me? They just think I’m only a temporary head, without even the family seal or tokens.”

“We can’t make many decisions. It’s only those who can’t curry favor with that Ye family who turn to us.”

The Long family was the number one family in H City, with over a hundred years of history. When the real head of the family was alive, they were local tyrants in H City, able to command the winds and rains. Outside, who wouldn’t fawn over them?

Who would dare disrespect the Long family?

And what about the acting patriarch, even though Long Tuo and his son have served as acting patriarchs for thirty years?

Their authority is illegitimate.

Even within the Long Group, they don’t have absolute power, let alone in the entire family or in H City.

Without Ye Longting as a comparison, Long Tuo, as acting patriarch, would still be quite prestigious, and everyone would give him some respect.

Since the Longteng Group caught up with the Long Group, the H City business world has split into three factions: one faction thrives with the Long Group and is at odds with the Longteng Group; another faction has chosen the Longteng Group; and the third faction tries to play both sides, hoping to profit from both.

Everyone is in business, and for business and profit, choosing who to cooperate with is their freedom.

But Long Tuo’s social status has declined accordingly. He doesn’t have his father’s cunning and ruthlessness; although he’s also vicious, he’s far inferior.
