Stealing the limelight from Mr Chu was as good as killing him.
Cheng Xiao-Tian had already decided.
No matter what the Li family said later on, he was going to insist that he didn't know them.
That way, Mr Chu wouldn't blame him even if he wanted to.
"Li Yuan, I'm sorry but your family is a bunch of idiots, so you can't blame 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 collapse 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 people come bearing gifts?" shouted Cheng Xiao-Tian angrily.
Li Yuan and her mother felt like a blast just went off in their heads.
Their minds went blank 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 collapsed 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 collapse 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 success 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.
