“I’m clearly only thirty-eight!” The other party retorted angrily, and only after opening his mouth did he realize that his focus seemed to be wrong and hurriedly raised his eyebrows, “He’s an adult; can’t he still be responsible for his own words and actions?”
“Isn’t your son just as much in his teens? Since he doesn’t need to be responsible for his words and actions, the same goes for my baby.” Adrian said while rubbing He Yishu’s hair.
He Yishu cooperatively rubbed on Adrian’s shoulder and couldn’t help but say, “But it’s only the same in this aspect; in other places, your son is far worse than me; at least when I said those words just now, it was in order to teach you the truth of what it means to be a human being, whereas the reason why your son posted those remarks on the virtual internet was simply to hurt others.”
“You… you guys! Simply unbelievable!” The other party had never seen such brazen people before, his hands were even shaking.
Adrian seriously corrected him: “You can talk about me, but you can’t talk about Xiao Shu; he’s still just a child; even if he said or did something wrong, he should be tolerated.”
This almost made He Yishu laugh. After barely controlling his expression, He Yishu raised his chin slightly and said, “Now can you please, an elder who happens to be twice my age, give a way out for this ignorant child?”
The other party was so exasperated that he couldn’t speak. He Yishu was planning to just bypass the other party when he suddenly heard whispering sounds coming from the surroundings, and when he turned his head, he saw a handsome young man in a silver-white palace gown walking over this way.
“Oh my god, His Highness the Third Prince has come; he looks as handsome and suave and gentle as ever!”
“Yeah, I heard that the Third Prince just wiped out a pirate fleet earlier; he’s simply too powerful.”
“Yes, yes, yes, if I can marry the Third Prince, it’s simply a life without regrets!”
……
From the whispers of the others, He Yishu learned quite a bit of information. He was young and handsome, just made a military achievement, and currently unmarried.
He Yishu didn’t care much about this person at first; after all, whether or not the other party was a prince didn’t have much to do with him.
However, when He Yishu took a good look at the other party’s appearance, he couldn’t help but raise his eyebrows in slight surprise. How did he feel that this Third Prince His Highness and Qiao An seemed to look a bit alike?
Just when He Yishu was surprised by this discovery, the third prince had already walked up to He Yishu: “Mr. He, hello, I’m glad you could come to this banquet.”
A soft smile hung on the Third Prince’s face, as if he were completely unaware of the little argument that had just occurred here, or perhaps he didn’t care at all.
He Yishu collected his thoughts, removed his head from Adrian’s shoulder, straightened his spine again, and said unabashedly, “Greetings, Your Highness the Third Prince, I am equally honored to receive an invitation to the royal banquet.”
The smile on the Third Prince’s face became deeper; his gaze took a glance from He Yishu and landed on Adrian: “This should be Mr. He’s lover, right?”
Adrian slightly owed his body; although he had heard of this crowd-favored Third Prince, he had never met him: “Hello, I’m Adrian.”
The Third Prince exchanged a few pleasantries with Adrian, mentioning Arman in the process, after which he turned to He Yishu and said, “I wonder if Mr. He is free right now? Is it possible to have a seat over there?”
He Yishu was just about to nod his head when the man who had just been angered by He Yishu took the lead with a red face and said, “Your Highness, the Third Prince, I know that this is very rude, but can I ask you to make a fair judgment for what just happened here?”
The Third Prince seemed to notice that there was someone standing beside He Yishu at this time and turned his head to glance at the man who was filled with anger: “You’re the Alpha Family’s patriarch, aren’t you?”
Being questioned by the Third Prince in this manner, the anger on the man’s face instantly subsided quite a bit, and with a respectful attitude, he said, “Yes, I am…”
The Third Prince didn’t let him finish his sentence and directly asked, “So what just happened here?”
“It’s like this; I just…” The man opened his mouth again, yet before he could get halfway through his sentence, he was once again interrupted, only this time the one who interrupted him wasn’t the Third Prince, but He Yishu.
He Yishu looked straight at the man and said word by word in a very slow voice, “Why don’t you go and die? People like you are superfluous to live.”
The man didn’t expect He Yishu to say such words in front of the Third Prince, and immediately a fire rushed to his head: “He Yishu, you… dare to say such vicious words in public; do you have any education left?!”
He Yishu seemed to have not heard the other person’s words, and the strange gazes from around him continued to speak in a calm voice, “Go die, die! Those who support you should also die.”
“You, you, you…” the man gasped and looked at He Yishu, obviously already half dead from He Yishu’s words, “You’re the one who should die! A lunatic like you without any education, you really…”
Not really knowing what language to use to express his anger, the man turned his head to the Third Prince and complained, “Your Highness, the Third Prince, you’ve just heard it all with your own ears; for him to be able to say such vicious words, he obviously has no quality or upbringing at all!”
The Third Prince glanced at He Yishu and was about to open his mouth, but then He Yishu suddenly changed his attitude: “I apologize for saying those words just now; I hope you won’t take it personally.”
“Don’t bother with you? You’ve humiliated me like this; how can I not take it personally? And don’t forget, this is a royal banquet!” The man was so infuriated that he was gasping for air, and it was clear that he wasn’t going to let He Yishu off the hook easily; he had never been humiliated in public like this before. “The fact that you’re saying these kinds of words in front of the Third Prince is in itself a sign of defiance against the royal family, as well as all the other guests!”
“Then have you ever thought about how I, who was humiliated by your son, felt when he posted such remarks on the virtual network? As well as how those other people who are active on the virtual network would feel.” He Yishu snorted and sneered back, “Do you finally realize now that his words and actions are both humiliating to me and disrespectful to the virtual network, while at the same time defying the other populace on the virtual network?”
The man was slightly stunned, and only at this point did he react to the fact that the words he had just spoken seemed to have all been chosen from his son’s statements on the virtual network, and it was only then that he realized that he had spoken those words on purpose.
At that moment, the man’s face became very wonderful, suddenly green, suddenly white, suddenly red—he was actually tricked by He Yishu!
He Yishu, on the other hand, turned his head to look at the Third Prince and solemnly apologized, “I’m very sorry for making such rude remarks in public just now, but I did do so for a reason, and I hope that Your Highness, the Third Prince, as well as the other guests can understand.”
Speaking here, He Yishu reopened the light device and presented those statements from Jack Alpha that he had previously found in front of everyone: “The excessive words that I just said were intentionally repeating Jack Alpha’s statements on the virtual network. I didn’t have any intention to humiliate the other party, and I think you all have seen how Jack’s father reacted after hearing those statements.”
“However, just now, he raised the hope that I could forgive his son and remove him from my blacklist, the reason being that Jack is just a teenage kid who doesn’t know any better and doesn’t need to be responsible for his own remarks.”
Saying this, He Yishu glanced at the man with obvious sarcasm before turning his head to look at the Third Prince: “Your Highness, the Third Prince, this is exactly the kind of thing that this man has just hoped that you would be able to impartially judge, and now I’ve laid the facts out in front of you.”
After seeing those remarks and hearing He Yishu’s explanation, the strange gazes that had just landed on He Yishu immediately shifted to the man who was already blushing and lowering his head so low that it seemed he was eager to burrow himself into a crack in the ground.
The Third Prince nodded his head, looking like he didn’t have any displeasure because of He Yishu’s performance just now; he just said to the man with his head lowered, “Mr. Alpha, is there anything else you need to add to your explanation?”
“I…” remembering his attitude towards He Yishu’s words just now, the man couldn’t wait to give himself two slaps. Had he known that he had quoted his son’s speech on purpose, even if he was furious to death in his heart, he would at least forgive the other party generously on the surface.
It was a pity that the words that shouldn’t have been said had already been said, and his attitude was presented in front of everyone; even if he wanted to change his mind at this time, it was completely untenable.
The Third Prince’s tone was cold as he continued to inquire, “So now, I guess you still need me to do justice to this matter?”
The man pressed his head even lower: “No… no.”
“Okay,” the Third Prince nodded, once again directly ignoring the man and turning his head to He Yishu. “Mr. He, now can we go over there and sit down for a good chat?”
“Of course.” He Yishu held Adrian’s hand and followed the Third Prince to a hidden corner on one side and sat down.
At first, the two were just chatting, but after a while, the Third Prince intentionally opened his mouth and said, “Adrian, can you fetch two glasses of red wine for your lover and me?”
There were many words that didn’t need to be said too clearly; they could be understood by each other. Adrian glanced at He Yishu, asking for his opinion; he said that he would accompany He Yishu all the way in this banquet.
He Yishu took Adrian’s arm and smiled as he said to the third prince, “If the third prince has anything he wants to say, please just say it; I don’t have anything I need to hide from Adrian.”
