Damn, How could my family be so wealthy?!-Chapter 507 - 506: It Would Be Strange to Be Polite
Chapter 507: Chapter 506: It Would Be Strange to Be Polite
"Xian Tailang, when did I ever say I wanted to post a front-facing photo of the girl from behind?"
"Even if I’m dating the girl from behind right now, what’s it to you?"
"Are you the head of the residents’ committee or just a nosy old lady? Xian Tailang, I thought since we’re all classmates, I’d just ignore you jumping around for a bit and you’d quiet down."
"So you’re too thick to take a hint, huh?"
Four Eyes finally couldn’t bear Xian Tailang anymore.
Four Eyes knew that if he didn’t make his stance clear, Xian Tailang might really think he was afraid of him.
But Four Eyes had a solid backing; even if he couldn’t deal with Xian Tailang himself, he had the powerful Su Mu to rely on.
So this time, Four Eyes didn’t give Xian Tailang any face at all, openly mocking his self-perceived superiority.
"Head of the residents’ committee? Four Eyes, that comparison is just too vivid, I really think Xian Tailang has the potential."
"If Xian Tailang can’t find a job in the future, the residents’ committee would actually be a good fit."
"In fact, if it weren’t for Xian Tailang’s gender mismatch, the image of a nosy old lady would have been quite fitting for his temperament."
"Four Eyes, you’re ruthless, saying nothing and then coming out with a zinger."
"I’ve said it, how could Four Eyes ever yield to the likes of Xian Tailang’s rogue tactics."
Since Four Eyes launched his counterattack, the once silent classmates began to get excited again.
Perhaps what everyone was waiting for was to see how Four Eyes would put Xian Tailang in his place.
After all, without Four Eyes taking a clear position before, whatever others said didn’t matter much.
Now that Four Eyes had spoken, it felt different.
In everyone’s view, this was Four Eyes declaring war on Xian Tailang.
Of course, everyone knew Four Eyes was sure to win.
It’s not that Xian Tailang couldn’t beat Four Eyes.
If Xian Tailang really started playing dirty, Four Eyes might not be able to handle him.
But everyone knew that Four Eyes had strong backing.
With the connection to Su Mu, Xian Tailang probably wouldn’t even dare to think about mischief.
The disparity in power was clear, and Xian Tailang wasn’t stupid; he knew how to weigh his options.
What everyone couldn’t understand was why Xian Tailang hadn’t realized the relationship between Su Mu and Four Eyes to this point.
If Xian Tailang were aware of Four Eyes’s friendship with Su Mu, then Xian Tailang would probably have disappeared without a trace by now.
There would be no need for Four Eyes to bicker with Xian Tailang on social media.
The thing everyone couldn’t figure out was actually quite straightforward.
It was because Xian Tailang had spent his three years of high school with his body in school but his heart in the wider world.
Since Xian Tailang hadn’t been focused on school life, he naturally wouldn’t have noticed the relationship between Su Mu and Four Eyes.
Another point was that, at the time, Su Mu, despite being a notable figure at Huadong International Middle School, came from a family that was too ordinary for Xian Tailang.
Aside from women, Xian Tailang definitely preferred to socialize within his circle when making friends.
So, even though Xian Tailang wouldn’t dare to provoke Su Mu back then, he didn’t pay him much mind either.
For Xian Tailang, he and Su Mu were definitely not in the same league; of course, Xian Tailang felt it unnecessary to spend any effort on Su Mu.
By the time Xian Tailang found out that Su Mu was the young master of the Su Family Group, it was already too late.
Xian Tailang couldn’t suck up to Su Mu even if he wanted to.
Not to mention whether Su Mu was willing to accept Xian Tailang’s ingratiating attempts.
By then, everyone had finished their college entrance exams, and Su Mu wouldn’t be going to school anymore.
Even if Xian Tailang wanted to suck up, he wouldn’t have any way to do it.
It could only be considered a regret.
Xian Tailang felt that the heavens had given him the opportunity to be classmates with Su Mu, but he hadn’t taken the chance to get on good terms with him.
If he could turn back time, Xian Tailang would beg, if needed, just to become friends with Su Mu.
But these were all just wishful thoughts on the part of Xian Tailang.
To someone like Xian Tailang, Su Mu really looked down on him.
If time really could be turned back, the outcome would still be the same.
Su Mu wouldn’t give Xian Tailang a second glance.
"What’s this nonsense about a neighborhood committee chairman? Just spit it out, Four Eyes, are you going to post the photo or not?"
"You guys should stop with the noise too. My family is so rich, we definitely don’t need you to worry about us. Looking for a job? If any of your families goes bankrupt and needs a job, just speak up. I will definitely arrange a great position for you."
Xian Tailang felt truly insulted. Weren’t these people clearly cursing him?
With Xian Tailang’s family’s economic situation, why would he need to be some neighborhood committee chairman?
Even if everyone was just saying it for appearances, it wasn’t acceptable.
Luckily, Xian Tailang also knew that he was facing a bunch of classmates on his own, and no matter how good he was at arguing, a single person could never win against a group.
So, after expressing his extreme dissatisfaction, Xian Tailang no longer paid any attention to the others.
The focus now was on Four Eyes.
Xian Tailang had already made up his mind.
As soon as Four Eyes posted the face photo of the girl in the background, he would immediately delete everyone who had confronted him in Four Eye’s social media circle, including Four Eyes himself.
Of course, that included Four Eyes.
The reason Xian Tailang was still so determined to see the front photo of Four Eye’s background girl wasn’t out of curiosity anymore.
For Xian Tailang, it was all about saving face now.
"Quit dawdling. It’s a waste of time. I just need one word from you, Four Eyes. Are you going to post the face photo of the girl in the background or not?"
"If not, I will definitely visit you tomorrow at the entrance of your villa complex, so you better be prepared."
Xian Tailang, upon being called a neighborhood committee chairman by Four Eyes, felt he didn’t need to be polite to Four Eyes anymore.
Actually, Xian Tailang hadn’t noticed that he had never been polite from the start.
Hadn’t the situation turned out this way precisely because Xian Tailang had continuously forced Four Eyes to post the photo?
If Xian Tailang could adjust his attitude, he would have just made it into a joke at most.
If Four Eyes was willing to post it, that would be great, but if he didn’t want to, that was Four Eyes’ right.
But Xian Tailang, on the contrary, treated forcing Four Eyes to post the photo as an opportunity to prove himself.
He even thought up a ruffian tactic like blocking the door.
Of course, it’s no surprise that Four Eyes wouldn’t be polite to Xian Tailang.
Unfortunately, some people never confront their own issues.
Once situations arose that disagreed with their own ideas, these people would only seek reasons from others.
"Xian Tailang, is this how you want to see my girlfriend’s photos?"
"Could it be that you have a habit of peeping at other people’s privacy, or are you really that idle?"
Four Eyes was noticeably more composed and didn’t show any signs of impatience like Xian Tailang did.
Four Eyes genuinely didn’t understand how idle Xian Tailang must be to keep fixating on other people’s affairs like this.
And to have the audacity to threaten him.
Four Eyes indicated that he indeed didn’t want his parents to know about his relationship with Li Minli at the moment.
But it wasn’t that Four Eyes truly wanted to hide his feelings from his family.
On the contrary, it was only because his feelings weren’t yet certain that he didn’t want his family to know about them for now.
Of course, this couldn’t be a reason for Four Eyes to be threatened by Xian Tailang.
Unfortunately, Xian Tailang was entirely unaware of this.
Xian Tailang just felt that he had grasped Four Eyes’ weakness, and as long as he kept pressing on this point, Four Eyes would definitely have to obediently listen to him.
Even if Xian Tailang knew that Four Eyes would be unwilling, he didn’t care about such things.
Following today’s event, Xian Tailang had no plans for any future interactions with Four Eyes.
In Xian Tailang’s view, he wasn’t really friends with Four Eyes to begin with.
It was just that Xian Tailang was too bored today, which is why he showed his face in Four Eyes’ social media.
However, Xian Tailang showing his face was different from the other classmates.
While others were mostly joking,
Xian Tailang was acting as if he was trying to assert his dominance, appearing very aggressive in Four Eyes’ social media.
"So what if I am extremely idle? In any case, when are you going to post the photo of that girl from behind?"
Xian Tailang thought Four Eyes’ tone had changed, which must be connected to the tough talk he had just laid down.
Xian Tailang was quite proud; since Four Eyes was so afraid of being confronted, it would be wiser for him to post the photo sooner.
In doing so, Xian Tailang felt today’s matter could be satisfactorily concluded.
Xian Tailang might lose a lot of classmates because of today’s events.
After all, everyone had said they’d block Xian Tailang.
They were just classmates to begin with, and now they were going to block him, so there would definitely be no further interactions in the future.
Even that single strand of camaraderie between classmates would be cut off.
But Xian Tailang didn’t care about this.
He had taken note of those who said they would block him; indeed, a few came from families better off than Xian Tailang’s.
Yet, Xian Tailang didn’t feel the loss of being blocked by people with such backgrounds would be significant.
Xian Tailang had paid attention, and among those who had spoken, Su Mu was not included.
That meant the only person in the group that Xian Tailang felt wary of hadn’t shown up.
Xian Tailang felt this could only mean one thing, that the relationship between Su Mu and Four Eyes was also quite ordinary.
Xian Tailang didn’t realize that when he was showing off in Four Eyes’ social media, Su Mu simply didn’t have the time to check his phone.
Moreover, even if Su Mu had been holding his phone then, he wouldn’t have said anything in Four Eyes’ social media.
On one hand, Su Mu felt that this was Four Eyes’ own business.
Even if Su Mu and Four Eyes had a great relationship, Su Mu wouldn’t rashly step in to help someone out.
Su Mu believed Four Eyes should be able to resolve it himself.
This was also a form of respect Su Mu had for his friend.
If Four Eyes truly couldn’t handle it and came to seek Su Mu’s help, then it wouldn’t be too late for Su Mu to take action.
On the other hand, in Su Mu’s eyes, Xian Tailang was not someone worth mentioning.
For Su Mu to confront someone like Xian Tailang, a petty person, just seemed rather boring to him.
Due to his misunderstanding, Xian Tailang thought that today, among Four Eyes’ friends, he had no reason to be wary of anything at all.
Naturally, Xian Tailang’s attitude was as arrogant as it could get.
"Are you sure you want to see the front photo of ’Back View Girl’?"
Today, Su Mu found that even Four Eyes had too much idle time, actually still playing a cat and mouse game with that Xian Tailang.
Looking at Four Eyes’ reply to Xian Tailang’s message, wasn’t this just misleading Xian Tailang into thinking that Four Eyes was really scared of Xian Tailang’s threats?
However, as Four Eyes’ good friend, Su Mu knew that Four Eyes was probably gearing up for the grand finale.
Just that Su Mu didn’t know what kind of plan Four Eyes had in mind to deal with Xian Tailang.
Curious, Su Mu quickly browsed through the long string of messages in Four Eyes’ circle of friends.
"Of course, otherwise why would I bother with you?"
"Ready to post it? Everyone better watch closely, this is the privilege I’ve fought for you guys."
Xian Tailang felt that Four Eyes’ question was like a last-ditch struggle.
With the tone of a victor, Xian Tailang felt this was his last conversation with those classmates who wanted to block him.
Of course, if those classmates had already blocked Xian Tailang, then no one would see such arrogant messages from him.
Judging by everyone’s reaction, it seemed they had indeed all blocked Xian Tailang.
Because no one responded to Xian Tailang’s words at all.
It meant that Xian Tailang’s messages, except for a slight reaction from Four Eyes, were like stones sinking into the ocean to the other classmates.
But at this point, Xian Tailang couldn’t be concerned with that anymore.
Even if Xian Tailang cared, there was nothing he could do.
Xian Tailang couldn’t possibly ask those who had blocked him to unblock him, could he?
Xian Tailang felt it was no longer important whether others could see his messages or not.
The important thing was that as long as Four Eyes posted the front photo of the ’Back View Girl,’ everyone would naturally understand that it was he, Xian Tailang, who had the last laugh in this matter.
Xian Tailang, due to being inexplicably ostracized and disliked by the other classmates today, definitely felt some anger inside.
Moreover, Xian Tailang thought he had Four Eyes under his thumb, so his tone of voice became even more imperious.
"This puts me in a difficult position," Four Eyes replied, "I just like taking photos of my girlfriend’s back. I really haven’t taken any front-facing pictures."
Four Eyes didn’t want to explain his relationship with Li Minli to Xian Tailang.
If Xian Tailang thought he and Li Minli were a couple then so be it. At this moment, Four Eyes addressed Li Minli as his girlfriend directly to Xian Tailang.
"However, there is one way. At first, I really didn’t know my girlfriend, and it took a friend who is extremely resourceful to help me find her contact information," Four Eyes continued.
"So, Xian Tailang, if you want to see the front photo of my girlfriend, you’ll have to ask my friend for it since he has her profile photo."
