Chapter 8 - I Hate Being Threatened by Others

“Song Shaopeng, don’t flatter yourself—I, Lin Tong, have never acknowledged you as my fiancé!” Lin Tong declared icily.

Hearing this, Ye Xuan’s eyes lit up.

If Lin Tong really had such poor taste, then he might as well give up on this fiancée.

In this world, there were plenty of women who wanted to get into bed with him.

With Ye Xuan’s pride, there was no need to warm his heart to anyone’s cold ass!

Ye Xuan blew out a smoke ring and said with a smile, “Wife, if you married that dumbass, you really would have no taste.

A woman with no taste, no matter how beautiful, I would never marry.”

What had the guy just called her?

Wife?

Damn.

This bastard was even more shameless than Song Shaopeng, easily taking advantage of her in a moment of carelessness!

Lin Tong’s tone was chilly as she said, “The man I, Lin Tong, set my sights on, I’d be willing to marry even if he had neither house nor car.

Otherwise, even a mountain of gold and silver is just a pile of scrap metal in my eyes!”

Not bad, not bad.

This chick is my type!

Ye Xuan chuckled, thinking about having such a stunning CEO as a wife; kisses by day, passionate intimacy by night, and someone to warm my bed when I’m lonely.

At that moment, Song Shaopeng’s face turned even darker.

This cheap woman was openly and secretly mocking him in cahoots with some wild boy.

Unforgivable!

Lin Tong, once I get my hands on you, I’ll make sure you get what you deserve!

And that country bumpkin, daring to call me dumbass, I’ll make sure you die!

Song Shaopeng gritted his teeth, then turned his head to Lin Dongfang, who also wore a grim expression, and said, “Dad, there’s a toad here who’s an eyesore.

You wouldn’t mind if I kicked him out, would you?”

“Heh, a toad that dared to trespass into our Lin Family’s home certainly deserves to be kicked into a foul ditch!”

Lin Dongfang said with a faint smile, his eyes cold as he looked toward Ye Xuan.

The two referred to Ye Xuan as a toad, speaking without any hesitation, as if he was nothing but playdough in their eyes.

“Ah Hu, you guys, give this toad a proper beating and make sure he doesn’t get into the master’s house,”

Song Shaopeng said with a cold laugh, his voice dark as he spoke to the four bodyguards behind him.

The four were professional bodyguards.

They understood Song Shaopeng’s implication perfectly well; they were to throw the youngster out without holding back, beating him to within an inch of his life!

The corners of their mouths formed cruel smirks as they immediately surrounded Ye Xuan from all sides.

“Be careful!” Lin Tong called out.

However, as her words left her mouth, she was instantly stupefied the next moment.

Bang, bang, bang, bang!

A blurry afterimage flickered, and as the four professional bodyguards charged at Ye Xuan, they didn’t even graze the hem of his clothes before they were sent flying, tumbling to the ground like scattered gourds.

Not just Lin Tong, everyone on the scene was utterly dumbstruck!

“This is impossible!”

Song Shaopeng found it hard to believe what he was seeing.

These four were exceptionally capable, his trump card bodyguards hired for a hefty sum, yet they had been instantly taken down by Ye Xuan!

One-hit KO!

This scruffy-looking hick turned out to be a master.

“Are you here to joke around?

With those pathetic skills, you still have the nerve to make fools of yourselves in public, a bunch of trash!”

Ye Xuan said disdainfully, curling his lip, then walked towards Song Shaopeng, his face sporting a playful grin, “Song Shaopeng, is it?

You act tough, calling me a toad, wanting to kick me into a filthy ditch?

Come on, I’m standing right in front of you, kick me if you dare.”

“You bastard, go to hell!”

Song Shaopeng snatched a fruit knife from the table, his face fierce as he rushed at Ye Xuan.

“Oh no, I’m so scared.

It’s a real knife, could it actually kill someone?”

Ye Xuan cried out in mock fear, but his face showed no actual fear, clearly taunting and mocking.

As Song Shaopeng swung the knife at him, Ye Xuan grabbed his collar in one swift move, hoisted him off the ground, and with a cool smile asked, “What’s this?

You, with your pig head, trying to use a knife?

Do you know how many centimeters a knife has to penetrate the human body to kill?”

“You…

you let go of me!

I’m warning you, if you dare touch a hair on my head, the Song Family will never let you go!”

Song Shaopeng waved the fruit knife frantically, his face red with raging fury as he shouted.

“Oh?

Threatening me?”

Ye Xuan chuckled coldly, his jet-black pupils shimmered with an icy gleam, “I’ll tell you, the one thing I hate most is someone threatening me, and as for those who do, I usually make them regret ever being alive.

So, you’d better stop threatening me!”

At that moment, Ye Xuan’s gaze was cold and merciless, like the eyes of the grim reaper himself!

A single glance felt like facing a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood, plunging into the eternal hell of reincarnation.

Song Shaopeng felt his scalp tingle and his body as if it had fallen into an icehouse, filled with fear when he looked at Ye Xuan.

Beside him, Lin Tong’s beautiful eyes shone with intrigue as she observed Ye Xuan, who now radiated a special charm, completely different from before!

“This man, he doesn’t seem as simple as I imagined.”

She murmured to herself.

Watching Ye Xuan lift up Song Shaopeng as easily as if he were a chick, Lin Dongfang’s eyes twitched, and he urgently said, “Ye Xuan, let go of young master Song immediately!

Do you know his identity?

If you harm him, the Song Family can take your life with just one word!”

This kid is just a hothead!

The Song Family is one of the four major families in East Sea City, with assets worth tens of billions, a true giant of Dongyang.

Song Shaopeng, as a direct heir to the Song Family, would cause an uproar in Dongyang City if anything were to happen to him here—the Song Family would unleash their wrath, and the city would be in chaos.

“The Song Family?

Heh, is that supposed to be impressive?”

Ye Xuan smirked coldly, utterly unfazed.

Hearing this, everyone present twitched at the corners of their mouths!

A country bumpkin looking down on the Song Family?

This was more than just being arrogant; it was arrogance to the point of being utterly boundless!

Song Shaopeng’s face turned red, his breathing becoming more difficult.

Just as he was feeling dizzy, he was suddenly kicked in the rear and sent flying, hitting the ground so hard he nearly shattered every bone in his body, and howled in pain!

“I let you go, not because I’m afraid of the Song Family, but simply because I have no interest in even crushing an ‘insignificant worm’ like you.”

Ye Xuan dusted off his hands, not even glancing at Song Shaopeng, who lay on the ground.

Pfft!

I’m the “insignificant worm”?

Song Shaopeng, hoisted up by Lin Dongfang, spat out a mouthful of blood onto the ceiling, as if struck by a critical blow.

This bastard, so damn arrogant!

“Young man, the arranged marriage between you and my daughter was decided by our elders, and I absolutely will not agree to it!”

Seeing that force wouldn’t work, Lin Dongfang declared his position. Searᴄh the Novelƒire(.)ne*t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

“Is that so, you’re admitting that this marriage agreement is real?”

Ye Xuan said indifferently, disdainfully glancing at Lin Dongfang, “The head of the Lin Family, reneging on an agreement and distorting the truth—quite eye-opening indeed.”

Stung by Ye Xuan’s words, Lin Dongfang’s face flushed red, wishing he could slap himself.

Damn it, slipped up!

Since it was out in the open, Lin Dongfang coldly retorted, “So what if it’s real?

Now I call the shots in the Lin Family.

You could never give my daughter happiness.

Shaopeng is the perfect son-in-law for us.

As for you, you’d better give up this fantasy!”

Mei Ruohua bluntly added, “Our Tong is the pride of the heavens; just look at you, you’re nothing but a pauper.

Hmph, what can you bring to the Lin Family?

Money?

Status?

You can’t provide anything!

You’ll only be a burden to us.

To speak frankly, you probably can’t even afford to buy Tong a piece of clothing.

Don’t shamelessly cling to the Lin Family—know your place!”

Watching Lin Dongfang and Mei Ruohua take turns speaking their mind, Lin Tong’s expression grew colder.

This is her dear father!

And…

her stepmother!

The epitome of opportunism!

The only phrase that came to her mind right now was opportunists!

Lin Tong turned to look at Ye Xuan, suddenly making a decision in her heart…
