Chapter 295 - Interrogation

Xiao Yichen was sent packing by Ye Fan with just a few words, not daring to utter a single sound as he slinked away.

However, Mo Xiaoyan was already the center of attention at tonight’s party, and as the leader of Hua Hai City’s new generation’s Four Young Masters, Xiao Yichen was the first to approach Mo Xiaoyan and strike up a conversation.

Their interaction was closely watched by everyone.

Just when everyone thought Xiao Yichen had successfully engaged Mo Xiaoyan in conversation, Ye Fan suddenly came over with Dongfang Yunqi, and with a few words, made Xiao Yichen scurry off without so much as a fart.

Everyone couldn’t help but feel shocked, confused, and mocked.

After all, Xiao Yichen was the leader of the new generation’s Four Young Masters in Hua Hai City.

How could he have been so easily dismissed by Ye Fan with just a few words?

Although, at the last party, Xiao Yichen had been driven away by Ye Fan once before.

Zhao Shuaijiang, Tang Mingyi, and others naturally witnessed the whole process, their mouths agape in admiration.

Hu Jing saw it too.

Though surrounded by many men seeking her acquaintance, her gaze still drifted towards Ye Fan from time to time.

Seeing Ye Fan forcefully send Xiao Yichen away, she was startled and seemed a bit lost in her stare.

At that moment, a young man trying to ingratiate himself with her immediately seized the opportunity for schadenfreude and said jeeringly, “That guy is called Xiao Yichen, known as the leader of Hua Hai City’s new generation’s Four Young Masters.”

He pointed to the dejected Xiao Yichen and continued to mock, “Just didn’t expect him to be such a wimp that he got chased away by the ordinary Ye Fan with just a couple of sentences, not daring to let out even a single fart.”

Hu Jing giggled, “Sounds like Xiao Yichen isn’t living up to his reputation.”

“That’s right!

It’s only because we indulge him that he acts so arrogantly,” a few other young men said, added fuel to the fire.

Hu Jing covered her mouth with a laugh, her charm bewitching, mesmerizing the group of young men around her.

Snapping back to reality, they all scrambled to add their own exaggerated slanders about Xiao Yichen.

Xiao Yichen, walking away dejectedly, certainly saw the numerous mocking and sneering stares directed at him, a painful and humiliating experience.

But he couldn’t muster the courage to turn back and confront Ye Fan head-on.

He seethed with rage and wanted to retaliate against Ye Fan, yet he didn’t dare provoke Ye Fan further for fear of angering him to the point of getting himself killed.

As for everyone else, Dongfang Yunqi and Mo Xiaoyan knew exactly how Ye Fan had unceremoniously sent Xiao Yichen packing.

No one was more surprised than Dongfang Yunqi.

She was well aware of Xiao Yichen’s clout and his capabilities; being the leader of Hua Hai City’s new generation’s Four Young Masters was no empty title.

Yet he was openly dismissed by Ye Fan and obediently scuttled away.

Dongfang Yunqi looked at Ye Fan in astonishment, unable to fathom what sort of power Ye Fan possessed, enabling him to make Xiao Yichen meekly leave at a party where maintaining face was paramount.

Reflecting on how Ye Fan was acquainted with Shen Yan and remained unfazed by the prospect of becoming a star, she couldn’t help but think, “Ye Fan is quite a mystery; I must seize the opportunity to understand him thoroughly.”

Mo Xiaoyan was also a bit surprised.

Although she was not familiar with the social circle of Hua Hai City, she had heard of the new generation’s Four Young Masters and Xiao Yichen’s reputation.

She was puzzled as to how the ordinary-born Ye Fan could so impolitely tell Xiao Yichen to beat it, and Xiao Yichen didn’t dare to make a peep as he obediently walked away.

She knew all too well that at parties like this one, both men and women cared greatly about face, often letting jealousy cloud their judgment, regardless of the consequences.

Xiao Yichen’s departure was certainly not due to his modesty or unwillingness to compete.

However, there was still a hint of pleasure in her heart—to have her sister’s boyfriend, by comparison to Xiao Yichen, be a little more domineering meant that her sister’s taste in men wasn’t all that bad.

“Alright, at least he’s more presentable and not a total good-for-nothing weakling,” she thought as she observed Ye Fan in silence.

Dongfang Yunqi quickly recovered from her surprise and curiosity, hurrying forward to introduce Mo Xiaoyan, “Miss Mo, this is Mr.

Ye Fan.

He’s very talented in music and has performed a duet in public with Shen Yan before.”

Although she wanted to introduce Ye Fan’s social background, she only knew that he was a former soldier who worked as a modest office worker in a company; indeed, she found it difficult to articulate that as an impressive introduction.

So, she chose to highlight the positive aspects of Ye Fan she knew about.

Hearing that such a big guy like Ye Fan could sing, and even had sung with Shen Yan, Mo Xiaoyan felt a mild shock again.

“Hello, Miss Mo, it’s a pleasure to meet you,” Ye Fan said with a mild smile.

Since Mo Xiaoyan seemed to be pretending not to know him, he decided to play along.

Mo Xiaoyan looked at him coolly and responded, “Hello, Mr.

Ye.”

Once the introduction was made, Dongfang Yunqi excused herself gracefully, “Sorry, I have something else to attend to for a moment.

You two take your time chatting.”

As Dongfang Yunqi left, Mo Xiaoyan stepped closer to Ye Fan, lowering her voice to speak with an icy sneer, “Having fun tonight, are you?”

“Heh, it’s okay,” answered Ye Fan with a casual smile, a bit puzzled by Mo Xiaoyan’s derisive tone.

Mo Xiaoyan huffed and said, “You and that vixen were all over each other, cuddling and hugging—I’ve seen everything very clearly!

My sister treats you so well, yet here you are, sneaking around with other women behind her back!”

Ye Fan, standing close and talking with Mo Xiaoyan, naturally became the center of attention at the event.

Especially when they saw Mo Xiaoyan proactively take a couple of steps to get closer to Ye Fan and spoke intimately—the unmarried men who were eager to earn her favor were green with envy, desperately frustrated.

“Tang, I’m afraid you’ve got no chance,” Tang Mingyi said admiringly, even worshipfully, as he watched Ye Fan and Mo Xiaoyan stand face-to-face in close conversation.

He was addressing Zhao Shuaijiang.

Zhao Shuaijiang forced a smile and said, “Perhaps you’re right.

Who would have thought Miss Mo liked that type, preferring strong and formidable men.

I’ve noticed that it was Dongfang Yun who was originally standing with Mo Xiaoyan, but then he left and brought Ye Fan over.

It’s likely Mo Xiaoyan set her sights on Ye Fan from the very beginning.”

“Ye is just too badass, too impressive; without saying a word or being overly attentive, he’s captivated such a beautiful woman of such high status!” Tang Mingyi said admiringly.

Zhao Shuaijiang was left speechless, turning to Tang Mingyi and saying, “The way you talk, you make Ye Fan sound like a deity!

How could Miss Mo of the Mo family be conquered by just one glance at Ye Fan?

At most, she has a slight interest in him.

Who knows, maybe I still have a chance.”

“I don’t think you stand a chance at all,” Tang Mingyi said.

Zhao Shuaijiang laughed, “Are you asking for a beating?

How dare you underestimate your brother Jiang!”

With that, he made a playful gesture as if to hit Tang Mingyi, who, cooperating, cowered a bit with his hands up defensively and laughed, “Brother Jiang, spare me!

It’s not that you’re incompetent, it’s just that Ye is too damn cool!”
