Chapter 774: Bullying Me Because I'm Uneducated!
"Oh, oh! I'm thrilled, I'm thrilled! Today is my engagement day, and Top Dog, you and your elders honored us with your presence—your visit truly brings glory to my humble home!" Damian Zeng quickly forced a smile as he spoke.
"Is that so! Engagement is a huge milestone in life. Fatty Damian, you're so ugly and so dumb, yet you beat us to it! Of course we had to come and observe, maybe learn something!" Darren Yang wrapped his arm around Damian Zeng's shoulder and grinned slyly.
"Oh, welcome, welcome! You’re VIPs here, just treat my place like your own home and feel free to do whatever you want!" Damian Zeng immediately replied, trying to be extra polite.
"Heh, of course we'll feel free!" Darren Yang sneered, then suddenly asked Damian Zeng, "Hey, Fatty, I heard your fiancée’s family background isn’t much, but she’s gorgeous, right? Is that true?"
"Uh—yeah, yeah! She’s the heiress of the Soo family—Simon Soo’s daughter, their clan just moved to Hong Kong. She’s a real beauty! To be honest, Top Dog, the first time I saw her, my eyes nearly popped out! Now that I finally get to marry such a stunning woman, I’m really happy! Hehe—" Damian Zeng’s eyes sparkled as he spoke.
"Mhm, Sylvia Snow only recently immigrated to Hong Kong with her father. She’s not famous yet, but her looks and presence definitely put her among the top socialites in Hong Kong!" Darren Yang nodded.
"Yeah, yeah! I think so too. Marrying such a beautiful woman is finally going to improve the Zeng family gene pool! Haha—" Damian Zeng was so excited, his whole body of fat started shaking.
"Hmph—someone like Sylvia Snow, you just see her as a tool to upgrade your family’s genetics? Huh?" Darren Yang’s face suddenly turned cold, his eyes flickering with a dangerous light.
"Uh—I wouldn’t dare lie to you, Top Dog. Honestly—Sylvia Snow could never love me! But I really like her! I’m marrying her willingly—" Damian Zeng hurriedly replied.
"Nonsense! I want to marry her even more than you do!! But it’s impossible, damn it—" Darren Yang said fiercely.
"Uh—Top Dog, wait, you know Sylvia Snow too?!" Even Damian Zeng, as clueless as he was, could tell something was off from Darren Yang's angry reaction.
"Damn it, Fatty, listen up! I don’t just know Sylvia Snow, I’ve secretly had a crush on her for half a year! You got that?!" Darren Yang’s eyes blazed as he spoke harshly.
"Ah—Top Dog, you—you like her?! I—I—" Damian Zeng was utterly stunned by this bombshell, his mind went blank and he started babbling incoherently.
"You, you, you what?! Are you doubting me again?!" Darren Yang grabbed Damian Zeng by the neck and snarled, his face looking downright scary.
"No, that’s not what I mean—I just didn’t know it’d be like this—I had no idea Sylvia Snow was your girl, Top Dog! What am I supposed to do now? I really like her! Boohoo—" Damian Zeng didn’t dare resist, but was so confused and scared he actually started crying.
"Damn it! Fatty, I like Sylvia Snow, but I never said she’s my woman! She belongs to Boss Shawn! In terms of street seniority, she’s actually my elder!" Darren Yang snapped at Damian Zeng.
"Ah—not her! Who’s Boss Shawn?! What’s Sylvia Snow’s real status then?!" Damian Zeng was totally lost, not expecting things to get so complicated.
"Damn it, Fatty, the guy next to you is Shawn Young, aka Boss Shawn—he’s my dad’s boss! He’s the real man in Sylvia Snow’s life!" Darren Yang pointed at Shawn Young, who’d been quietly watching the drama.
"Ah! So it’s him—never would’ve guessed—but is he really that impressive?" Damian Zeng finally turned his attention to Shawn Young.
At that moment, Shawn Young finally stood up, shrugged, and smiled: "Do I really look that impressive to you?"
Damian Zeng quickly sized Shawn Young up, then whispered cautiously, "You do look kinda handsome—but honestly, you don’t seem all that impressive!"
Darren Yang raised an eyebrow, dragged Damian Zeng over, and said, "I feel the same way! I can’t tell what’s so great about him either, but he’s my dad’s boss, so even if I have doubts, there’s nothing I can do!"
"Oh, oh! Got it, got it! Looks like Boss Shawn’s background must be really deep—" Damian Zeng nodded as if enlightened, convinced Shawn Young’s mysterious smile hid some powerful secret.
Actually, everyone who mingles in high society knows—money guarantees status, but having a powerful background is what really matters. Wealth is tempting, but in the face of true power, it’s nothing!
Damian Zeng was taught this since he was a kid—never offend someone more powerful than you, or you’ll bring disaster to your family! Plus, Darren Yang had beaten him up before, so he really understood these rules, which is why he reacted this way.
"Haha—I’m not that mysterious, I’m just an ordinary guy, and just a student at Southern University!" Shawn Young explained with a smile.
"Uh—Southern University? Where’s that? I’ve never heard of it! Top Dog, do you know?" Damian Zeng asked Darren Yang dumbly.
Damian Zeng spent most of his life in Hong Kong and abroad, so he didn’t know much about mainland China. All he knew were famous schools like Cambridge and Oxford, so he’d never even heard of Southern University.
"Damn! I dropped out before I even finished middle school, and you’re asking me about universities! Southern University, Northern University—hell if I know! You just want to bully me because I’m uneducated, huh?" Darren Yang rolled his eyes and cursed at Damian Zeng.
"Uh—Top Dog, don’t get me wrong, that’s not what I meant, I really didn’t know you never finished middle school—" Damian Zeng hurriedly explained, shocked to learn Darren Yang didn’t even graduate! In education-obsessed Hong Kong, that made him a real oddball!
"Damn it, you pig-brain! I’m already insecure about not graduating, and you just had to shout it out! Afraid people wouldn’t know, huh? I’ll smack some sense into you!" Darren Yang snapped, humiliated and angry.
Suddenly, he jumped up, clamped Damian Zeng’s big fat head with his left hand, and started smacking his forehead with his right!
"Smack! Smack! Smack!" A series of crisp slaps echoed, Damian Zeng wailed and squirmed, but didn’t dare fight back. The more he struggled, the harder Darren Yang hit him. The commotion drew everyone’s attention.
