Chapter 450 Never Cross Paths Again


    Li Xiao-Hong had watched Ye Fan kill off Wu He-Rong by himself at Mount Tai, but back then, Ye Fan


    only had one opponent.


    Li Xiao-Hong didn''t know anything about fighting, but she did know that it was hard to win a fight if you


    were terribly outnumbered.


    But Wei Wu-Ji had brought so many men with him, so no matter how highly skilled Ye Fan was, Li


    Xiao-Hong didn''t think he could fight so many by himself.


    Besides, Wei Wu-Ji was backed by the Wei family. They weren''t as powerful as the Xu or the Xue


    families, but they were definitely much more powerful than the Li family in Yunzhou.


    Now that Wei Wu-Ji had targeted Ye Fan, Li Xiao-Hong naturally felt worried for Ye Fan''s safety.


    "Help him? Whatever for? Xiao-Hong, your friend''s pride is ridiculous and you heard what he said


    earlier. He doesn''t have any regard for me and says I''m not qualified for him to pay any attention to.


    Since he''s so amazing, then he can settle this problem himself. Why would he need us? Besides, this


    fellow was so rude and didn''t know how to behave, so why should I care about whether he lives or


    dies?"


    Li Lu-Bin was clearly still seething over what happened earlier.


    So no matter how Li Xiao-Hong tried to plead with him, Li Lu-Bin just ignored her.


    Li Xiao-Hong eventually gave up. She looked worriedly at Ye Fan as she med herself and felt guilty.


    She felt that she and her father had gotten Ye Fan into trouble.


    If her father hadn''t singled Ye Fan out, then Ye Fan wouldn''t be in such a precarious situation.


    After feeling guilty for a while, Li Xiao-Hong bit her lips and started walking towards Ye Fan.


    "Xiao-Hong, are you nuts? What are you trying to do?" asked Li Lu-Bin anxiously when he saw her do


    this.


    But Li Xiao-Hong snapped angrily at him with reddened eyes, "Don''t stop me."


    "My father is the one who got my friend into trouble, so since you don''t want to help him, I''m going to


    help you redeem yourself."


    Li Xiao-Hong wasn''t having any of this. She shook her father''s hand off herself and looked like she was


    really going to stand by Ye Fan''s side.


    "Tsk, I really have to hand it to you. Fine, I''ll take it as thest time our family is helping him. But Xiao-


    Hong, you must promise me that once I get him through today, you are not to cross paths with him


    anymore.


    Otherwise, even if you kneel down and beg me today, I will not help him at all!" said Li Lu-Bin with a


    stern expression as he warned Li Xiao-Hong.


    His low voice was filled with an authoritativeness that did not allow her to argue back.


    Li Xiao-Hong tried to hold her tears back as she nodded gravely at her father with red eyes. "I promise


    you."


    Nobody knew how much Li Xiao-Hong''s heart hurt to say this.


    She never thought that her first love would end in such a manner before it had even started.


    But she was willing to pay any price to help him.


    Even if she could never see Ye Fan again, she still hoped that he would be able to live well and not


    suffer any harm.


    Someone once said that if you really liked a person, you would be willing to stoop so low that you''d be


    buried in mud, and eventually bloom beautifully.


    Perhaps the same thing was happening to Li Xiao-Hong.


    She didn''t ask for anything in return. She just quietly wished the other party well.


    "Xiao-Hong, remember what you promised me!”


    Li Lu-Bin then got up and walked over.


    At the same time, Ye Fan was still sitting where he was. He didn''t seem to be able to hear any of the


    cursing of the crowd within the hotel.


    He just continued to sit there and sip his tea quietly. There was no expression on his handsome face.


    "You''re just a country bumpkin but you sure know how to put on airs! You''re going to die soon and you


    dare to act all calm! Hurry up and get your ass here! I give you three seconds! If you don''t get your ass


    here, I''ll get my men to break your legs and carry you here!”


    Ye Fan''s behavior not only angered the guests, but also infuriated Wei Wu-Ji.


    He and the other rich young men in Yanjing always got their way everywhere they went. This was the


    first time he was meeting someone so arrogant.


    Wei Wu-Ji was about to reach his breaking point.


    His low and icy voice started to ring loudly in the lobby.


    "THREE!"


    "TWO!"


    "ONE!"


    N?velDrama.Org owns this.


    BAM!


    Wei Wu-Ji didn''t expect Ye Fan to remain in his seat even after he had said so much. In his anger, Wei


    Wu-Ji kicked the table and chair in front of him over.


    "MEN! Whack him hard!" he ordered.


    "Young Master Wei, don''t be angry, don''t be angry..." Li Lu-Bin''s respectful voice came from behind Wei


    Wu-Ji just as he was about to send his men out.


    "Oh? Oh it''s you, Mr Li. I didn''t expect to see you around. Just nice - after I''m done teaching this fellow


    a lesson, we could have a meal with Yuanyuan. Come to think of it, it''s been a while since Ist saw


    her."


    Wei Wu-Ji''s expression warmed up quite a bit when he saw Li Lu-Bin and there was a smile on his face


    now.


    Wei Wu-Ji knew Li Lu-Bin from a long time back, since Li Lu-Bin always entertained Wei Wu-Ji and his


    friends very well whenever they went to Li Lu-Bin''s hotel.


    So Wei Wu-Ji liked this Li Lu-Bin quite a bit.


    On top of that, Li Lu-Bin''s daughter, Li Yuan, was very pretty and Wei Wu-Ji took a liking to her as well.


    So when he saw Li Yuan''s father appear before him, Wei Wu-Ji was nice to him.


    "Haha! Sure, we can have a meal. There''s always space for Young Master Wei at my hotel. But Young


    Master Wei, I''m here to ask for a favor. This Ye Fan here is my friend''s son, and even though I''m not


    sure how he has offended you, I hope that you could let him off on my ount," said Li Lu-Bin with a


    cating smile.


    But Wei Wu-Ji frowned instead. "Oh, your friend''s son?"


    "That''s right, Young Master Wei. This is an old friend of mine, so surely I can''t leave his son in the


    lurch, right?"


    Li Lu-Bin then red at Ye Fan and shouted sternly, "You little bastard, how could you continue


    drinking tea like this?"


    "How dare you offend Young Master Wei? Hurry up and thank him for his magnanimity! If Young Master


    Wei wasn''t gracious enough, you''d never walk out of here alive!"


    Wei Wu-Ji hadn''t agreed to anything yet but Li Lu-Bin was already getting Ye Fan to thank Wei Wu-Ji.


    Li Lu-Bin didn''t think that Wei Wu-Ji would be that bothered over a country bumpkin.


    "Mr Li, don''t be too quick to get him to thank me.” Wei Wu-Ji stretched a hand out to stop Li Lu-Bin.


    Li Lu-Bin was stunned for a moment before frowning, "Young Master Wei, what do you mean by that?


    Are you not going to even do me such a small favor?"


    Wei Wu-Jiughed quietly. "Mr Li, don''t get angry."


    "Given our rtionship, if this guy offended me, I don''t mind letting him off for your sake. He''s just a


    country bumpkin and I wouldn''t care about him. But unfortunately, even if I let him off, there will be


    some others who won''t."


    "Mr Li, on ount of our friendship, let me just leave you a piece of advice. Don''t get involved with this


    Ye Fan anymore, and stop being friends with that old friend of yours. Otherwise, you won''t just fail to


    save this fellow here, but your family would also end up dead and abandoned in some field out there!"
