Chapter 123 Heartbroken
"So what if you can afford branded perfume? So what if you can afford rare tea? The things you are
proud of arepletely worthless in my eyes!"
"Moreover, whether I am worthy of Mu-Cheng or not is a matter between us alone. What does it have
to do with you?"
"Who do you think you are?"
"What right do you have to find fault with Mu-Cheng''s and my rtionship?!!"
Ye Fan''s tone was sinister and his face cold. He spoke artictely and his words resounded like rocks
hitting the ground. As he dished out his rebuttals one after another, they stabbed into Su Qian like
knives.
And each time he spoke, Ye Fan took a step forward. His presence was even more overwhelming than
ever. And at the end, his anger exploded with a scream.
Su Qian was so frightened by Ye Fan''s anger that her face turned as white as sheet. The panic was
evident in her face and, finally, she fell off her chair because her body was shaking too badly.
Before this, Su Qian had not imagined that a low-born nobody like Ye Fan could actually disy such
presence and authority.
Ye Fan''s words, especially, had made her feel as if she was being enveloped by danger.
It was as if the person standing before her was not a humble live-in son-inw, but an influential and
powerful bigwig.
Su Qian was shocked. She could not understand how a country bumpkin could give her that
impression.
After saying his piece, Ye Fan walked away, leaving behind a panic-stricken Su Qian on the floor. For a
long moment, she simply sat there in a daze.
"Qian-Qian, are you alright?"
"Did Qiu Mu-Cheng''s good-for-nothing husband hit you?"
"What a loser! Not only is he poor and unambitious, but he also has a lousy temper!" Both Xue Lin and
Yang Qian hade downstairs when they heard themotion.
When they saw the panicking Su Qian sitting on the floor, they hurried forward to question her.
Just then, Su Qian was starting to calm down from her shock. And when she saw Ye Fan busying
himself with serving drinks in the restaurant, the panic faded away.
"How dare a mere server brag so outrageously!" she snorted angrily.
"What else can you do besides telling lies?"
"You only know how to lie to protect what''s left of your dignity."
Obviously, Su Qian did not believe what Ye Fan had said earlier.
She thought that Ye Fan was only lying to protect his pride.
After all, if Ye Fan was really a somebody, then why would he work here as a server?
But, right now, Su Qian was not in the mood to stay at the restaurant. After getting up from the floor,
she told her friends that she was not feeling well and bade them farewell.
"Qian-Qian, give us a call when you reach home.”
And soon, Su Qian left. Only Yang Qian and Xue Lin remained behind to continue their reunion dinner.
It had barely started so the pair were not in a hurry to leave. They chatted desultorily and always ended
up talking about this or that ssmate.
They talked about the ssmate who had be the boss of his ownpany and the one who had
be a deputy county mayor but, most of the time, they talked about the ss belles who had gotten
married to their Mr. Rights.
Back then, our ss had the greatest number of beauties. And Mu-Cheng was also the school''s beauty
queen. Everyone thought that Mu-Cheng would definitely be the one to marry the most sessful man
and live the cushiest life. But look at her now. She married the worst man and is the worst off among
us. You can only say that she is not destined for a good life." Yang Qian put on a show of feeling sorry
for Qiu Mu-Cheng but, in reality, she was feeling rather pleased.
Xue Lin, on the other hand, sighed regretfully. He truly regretted that he had failed to make Qiu Mu-
Cheng his woman. If he had seeded, then she would not be suffering right now.
Overwhelmed by his feeling of penitence, Xue Lin drank several sses of wine in session.
He truly felt sorry for Qiu Mu-Cheng.
As Yang Qian and Xue Lin were talking, amotion broke out downstairs.
Both of them looked down and saw an ingenuous-looking young woman standing before a visibly angry
man. The te she had been holding in her hands was now lying smashed on the floor. And judging by
the oily stains on the man''s clothes, it was obvious that the young woman had just bumped into him
while she was carrying the food.
"Damn!"
"Are you blind?"
"How could you just run into people like that?”
"You can''t even carry a te properly! What the hell can you even do?"
The speaker was a middle-aged man in a suit. His beer belly protruded rudely before him as heshed
out at the server.
Li Xiao-Hong was so frightened that her face turned as white as sheet. She bowed her head and kept
apologizing: "Mr. Wei, I am sorry. I am sorry. I... I really didn''t mean to do it.”
"Shit!"
"You didn''t mean to? Do you think you can settle this matter just by saying that?"

"Look. If someone dies because of your negligence, the court will still sentence you. So do you think
you can get away with a crime just by saying ''I didn''t mean to?"''
"Screw you! Do you know how expensive my clothes are?"
The restaurant supervisor''s face had turned green with rage, and he clenched his teeth as he
continued tosh out at Li Xiao-Hong.
But in the midst of his tantrum, the middle-aged man looked up and noticed how beautiful Li Xiao-Hong
was.
He had not known that the restaurant actually employed such an attractive server.
Almost immediately, a covetous and lustful look appeared on Mr. Wei''s face.
"Alright, count yourself lucky that you have bumped into me, rather than someone else. I have always
prided myself on being understanding and caring toward my subordinates. So I will not pursue this
matter."
"Are you new here? What did you use to do before working here?" The anger had vanished from Mr.
Wei''s face, and he was now trying to cozy up to Li Xiao-Hong. And his eyes brightened when he heard
that she was a recent graduate.
He had heard, on the inte, that college students nowadays were especially skilled in bedroom
matters. So he had always wanted to be a sugar daddy to a college girl, but the opportunity to do
so never presented itself. Until now...
Mr. Wei''s smile turned creepier. He turned to look at Li Xiao-Hong and chuckled inscrutably.
"Xiao-Hong, I have a job for you. You will also be serving people at this new job, but it is more rxed
than what you are doing now. And you will be making more money. You only need to work nights. If you
perform well, I can give you ten thousand every month. So? What do you think? Do you want the job?"
After listening to Mr. Wei, Li Xiao-Hong was convinced that he was harboring evil designs. So she
panicked a little and shook her head in refusal. "Thank you, Mr. Wei. But there is no need to give me
another job. I am happy with my current position. Mr. Wei, if there is nothing else, I still have some work
to attend to."
Li Xiao-Hong wanted to leave right away after she had finished speaking. But Mr. Wei was enraged at
her rejection, so he pulled her back to prevent her from leaving.
"You ungrateful bitch!"
"I am only offering you this job because I think highly of you."
"How dare you act innocent in front of me. You think I have no idea that many college girls like you are
actually part-time whores?"
Mr. Wei spoke angrily and his words were rather insulting.
Also, because Mr. Wei had been pulling at her arm, the box containing the jade bracelet fell out of Li
Xiao-Hong''s uniform. Itnded on the floor where it opened to reveal the gift within.
Li Xiao-Hong hurriedly bent down to pick up the box, but Mr. Wei was one step ahead of her.
"Heh, no wonder you were acting so recklessly earlier. As if you had done something against your
conscience. So the truth is you have stolen something?”
"How dare you! How dare you steal from our customers?"
Li Xiao-Hong lost herposure when she heard this, and hurried to exin herself: "No, I didn''t! Mr.
Wei, I bought this. I didn''t steal it. If you don''t believe me, I can show you the receipt. It has my name
on it."
But Mr. Wei pretended not to see the evidence and continued tosh out coldly.
"You bought it? What augh! How could a lowly server like you afford something expensive like this?"
"No, you stole it."
"How dare you steal from our customers!"
"How dare you you act like a virgin in front of me!"
As heughed sinisterly, Mr. Wei hurled the jade bracelet onto the floor.
"No~"
Li Xiao-Hong cried out and dashed forward to grab it. But she was toote.
Piak~
A crisp cracking sound rang out.
The jade braceletnded on the floor amidst the surrounding hubbub, and shattered instantly.
Along with Li Xiao-Hong''s heart.
