Chapter 523 Dying on the Inside


    Stealing the limelight from Mr Chu was as good as killing him.


    Cheng Xiao-Tian had already decided.


    No matter what the Li family saidter on, he was going to insist that he didn''t know them.


    That way, Mr Chu wouldn''t me him even if he wanted to.


    "Li Yuan, I''m sorry but your family is a bunch of idiots, so you can''t me me for being heartless,"


    thought Cheng Xiao-Tian to himself. He looked pitifully at Li Yuan and her family.


    And right after Cheng Xiao-Tian said he didn''t know Li Yuan, the family was instantly stunned.


    Li Yuan''s eyes grew wide.


    She looked at him in disbelief. "Xiao-Tian, what...what are you talking about?" "I''m your Yuanyuan, your


    girlfriend, how could you say you don''t know me? Didn''t


    you say you wanted to see my parents today? You even got someone to send an invitation to my


    house to invite us here for dinner. Why don''t you remember that?" said Li Yuan in a sad voice as she


    kept shaking her head and her eyes were tearing up.


    "What the hell? Just shut up! How dare you call me by name? And girlfriend? Am I stupid enough to


    have a dumb woman like you as my girlfriend? And you say I sent you an invitation? Tsk! I''m begging


    you, stop spouting nonsense here. I don''t even know you. The king of Yanjing, Mr Chu, has organized

    a dinner here, so why would I make trouble here? Am I that foolish?"


    Cheng Xiao-Tian was going to cry soon from his fear.


    This stupid Li Yuan was still spouting nonsense.


    Cheng Xiao-Tian wished he could just kick her dead!


    He had repeated ''Mr Chu'' so many times. Was this family stupid? Didn''t they know that a really big shot


    was sitting right there?


    After Cheng Xiao-Tian said that Ye Fan was the king of Yanjing, something finally clicked in Li Yuan''s


    head.


    Her face paled and her eyes were huge.


    "What...what did you say? You mean...he... he''s that...that king of Yanjing, Mr Chu?"


    "If not?!" Cheng Xiao-Tian was going to copse from his anger. Did these idiots just realize that?


    "You stupid woman, who else did you think he was? If he''s not the king of Yanjing, then why would he


    have dinner here? If he wasn''t the king of Yanjing, why would so many peoplee bearing gifts?"


    shouted Cheng Xiao-Tian angrily.


    Li Yuan and her mother felt like a st just went off in their heads.


    Their minds went nk and both of them were stunned.


    Li Yuan was rooted to the ground, while Sun Li-Ping''s mouth was open wide enough to fit an apple.


    She finally copsed to the floor with a loud thud.


    "He...he...he''s really...the king of Yanjing?"


    Oh my god!


    Who had this family offended?


    Sun Li-Ping howled miserably and felt like the sky was about to copse on her.


    Li Yuan was equally shocked.


    Now she finally understood why Ye Fan had not been ashamed of his background and why her own


    boyfriend had suddenly pretended not to know her.


    So Ye Fan was Mr Chu, and he was the king of Yanjing!


    Why would a hero care about where he was from?


    If a person could attain sess through his hard work in life, why would he care about what sort of


    birth he had?


    On the contrary, it was those of lowly birth that made them legends to others!


    "Aren''t all of you going over? You''re just a bunch of small fry and you dare to offend Mr Chu? How bold!


    Even if you had ten heads, it won''t be enough to behead you for your crimes. Hurry up and kneel and


    apologize!"


    Xue Ming-Xin was in charge of security for tonight''s dinner, so he walked over and kicked all three of


    them to kneel in front of Ye Fan and Li Xiao-Hong.


    The three of them knelt pitifully on the floor and fear filled their faces.


    They didn''t even have the guts to look at Ye Fan. The arrogance they had when they pped Li Xiao-


    Hong was all gone now.


    "Mr Chu, I was wrong, we were all wrong. We were the ones who looked down on the wrong people


    and we were blind. Mr Chu, please let us off on ount of Xiao-Hong, please?” Sun Li-Ping cried and


    couldn''t stop pleading for mercy.


    Li Lu-Bin looked down without saying anything. Li Yuan just cried and kept shivering from fear.


    Ye Fan immediatelyughed coldly. "On ount of Xiao-Hong? How dare you say such a thing? Are


    the two palm prints on Xiao-Hong''s face done by you and your daughter?”


    "This...this..." Sun Li-Ping and her daughter shuddered. They were even more frightened and didn''t


    dare to answer him at all.


    "Speak!” Ye Fan shouted at them and they nearly squeaked in fright.


    They had to admit to it in the end.


    "It''s a misunderstanding, Mr...Mr Chu, it''s a misunderstanding...we identally hit her," Sun Li-Ping


    tried to defend herself.


    Ye Fan didn''t say anything and waved his hand.


    Xue Ming-Xin walked up and pped the two women many times across the face.


    "identally? I''ll show you what identally means! I''ll make sure you''re careful from now on! How


    dare you hit a woman that Mr Chu favors? You''re both tired of living!”


    Xue Ming-Xin pped the two women so many times that there was blood and teeth all over the floor.


    Their faces were as swollen a pig trotters.


    After he was done, Xue Ming-Xin dusted his hands off and smiled coldly. “Mr Li, I''m so sorry, I


    identally hit your wife and daughter, you''re ok with that, right?"


    Li Lu-Bin''s lips twitched.


    What else could he say? He could only reply fearfully, Tm...l''m ok..."


    "You over there, why don''t you p them too? Didn''t she try to get you into trouble earlier?" Xue Ming-


    Xin looked over at Cheng Xiao-Tian.


    Cheng Xiao-Tian''s face paled, then he smiled awkwardly, "Er...indeed, thanks for the reminder.


    I...should give her a few ps."


    Cheng Xiao-Tian was terrified. But he didn''t dare to go against Xue Ming-Xin.


    He walked over and pped one on the left and the other on the right.


    He pped Li Yuan and her mother several times in a row.


    The two women felt like dying.


    Li Yuan couldn''t believe she was letting her boyfriend hit her.


    That was what it meant to kill one on the inside, right?


    "Miss Li, why don''t youe and have a go too? Come and p them a few times and vent your


    anger. p them for bullying you all the time," Xue Ming-Xin suggested to Li Xiao-Hong.


    Li Xiao-Hong''s face was pale as she looked at Li Yuan and Sun Li-Ping''s bloodied faces, as well as Li


    Lu-Bin kneeling on the floor. She shook her head in the end.


    "Mr Chu, it''s not their fault. I was immature and made them unhappy, that''s why they ended up hitting


    me. Mr Chu, let them off, please?" begged Li Xiao-Hong.


    Ye Fan shook his head and sighed. "Xiao-Hong, being kind is your strength and it''s also your


    weakness. You''re going to suffer badly because of this."


    Actually, Ye Fan was also in a dilemma.


    Nice people were always bullied, and tame horses were always ridden on.


    He didn''t know whether to tell Li Xiao-Hong to hold onto this kindheartedness of her or to see reality for


    what it was.


    "Forget it. Even though this world is full of filth, Xiao-Hong, I hope that you can be that


    clean stream of water even in this filthy world."
