“Brother Li Chen, it’s really you, I thought I was seeing wrong!”

Lin Xuanfei’s pretty face flushed with excitement upon seeing it was truly Li Chen.

Li Chen pointed at the plate of hairy crabs and smiled slightly, “The crabs here are not as delicious as the ones your mother makes!”

“Brother Li Chen likes to eat crabs; I’ll cook them for you in the future, okay?”

Lin Xuanfei’s voice was as faint as a mosquito’s buzzing, her delicate cheeks flushed with an enticing blush.

After asking that last question, her bright eyes were filled with a light of anticipation.

She was inexplicably nervous, like a bride in Tang poetry who “hasn’t yet learned to eat her husband’s food, but sends her little sister to taste it first.”

Li Chen looked at Lin Xuanfei’s slender and fair fingers and teased with a smile, “With hands that haven’t touched spring water, you think you can cook crabs?”

With flushed cheeks, Lin Xuanfei pouted and protested, “Brother Li Chen, you’re underestimating me.

I may not know how to cook now, but I can learn!”

…

Seeing the usually aloof Lin Xuanfei chatting so passionately with an unfamiliar man, the rich young masters and highborn ladies around were all taken aback.

“Who is that guy?

Look, Xuanfei’s face turns red with excitement when she sees him?”

“It can’t be her boyfriend, right?

He looks so unfamiliar, not like someone from our circle.

Could it be a young master from the Capital?”

“What young master my foot; he’s just an ordinary high school student!”

Right amid the chirping and gossiping of a group of girls, Zhang Yuanjun interjected with a cold and disdainful tone.

“No way, Lin Xuanfei actually chose an ordinary high school student as her boyfriend?” Hearing Zhang Yuanjun’s words, everyone was in disbelief.

Everyone knew that Lin Xuanfei was a famously cold beauty within their circle, with incredibly high standards.

Even the son of the deputy mayor was not to her liking.

To everyone’s utter surprise, she had chosen an ordinary high school student.

“Maybe Xuanfei is too young and got deceived by that boy’s sweet talk.

I have to talk to her later and hope she’ll change her mind!” A girl who was on good terms with Lin Xuanfei stepped forward and said.

“Right, we have to talk some sense into her; she can’t be so thoughtless.

Getting a boyfriend like an ordinary man is just disgusting!”

“Ugh, and that guy really thinks too highly of himself, a toad lusting after swan meat, completely delusive!”

…

These girls were all either rich or noble, many of which had been sent overseas to prestigious schools since middle school; with their vision, how could they possibly appreciate a common student like Li Chen?

Hearing the mockery of Li Chen by these highborn ladies and rich women, Zhang Yuanjun’s lips curled with a sense of vengeful pleasure.

He straightened the collar of his designer suit and looked at Li Chen with a provocative gaze.

“Li Chen, this is an upscale venue, not a place for a riffraff student like you.

Out of respect for Xuanfei, I hope you have the self-awareness to leave on your own.

Otherwise, you’ll be thrown out by security, which will be embarrassing for everyone!”

Li Chen cast a disdainful glance at Zhang Yuanjun and coldly asked, “You seem to be called Zhang Yuanjun, right?”

“Correct, I am Zhang Yuanjun.

What, you want to take revenge on me afterward?”

“Heh, I’m not someone who holds grudges!”

As he said this, Li Chen suddenly paused and swiftly slapped Zhang Yuanjun with a loud smack across the face.

“I settle my grudges on the spot and never leave them overnight!”

Zhang Yuanjun was stunned by Li Chen’s slap, seeing stars before his eyes.

“You, you, you dare to hit me?”

Li Chen’s eyes were cold as he shouted angrily, “I did hit you!

And if you dare say another word of nonsense, believe it or not, I’ll ruin your face?”

Zhang Yuanjun was petrified by Li Chen’s sharp gaze, trembling non-stop, a far cry from his usual elegant and refined demeanor.

“What’s going on?”

Just then, a man dressed in a suit and leather shoes came striding over.

Upon seeing the newcomer, Zhang Yuanjun grasped at him like a drowning man clutching at a lifesaver.

Holding his swollen face, he cried out, “Brother, someone hit me.

You have to stand up for me!”

The person whom Zhang Yuanjun could call ‘Brother’ was naturally Zhang Yuanhao.

“Who is so bold as to dare slap Zhang Yuanhao’s…”

Before he could finish the sentence, Zhang Yuanhao forcibly swallowed the rest of his words.

After steadying his mind, he didn’t say another word and went straight to Zhang Yuanjun’s other cheek, viciously dealing him a blow.

Zhang Yuanjun was unexpectedly struck by a heavy slap, leaving him dazed and spinning, doubting his very existence.

“Brother, I’m Yuanjun.

Why are you hitting me?”

“I’m hitting you, Zhang Yuanjun.

If you want to die, go die by yourself.

Don’t drag the entire Zhang Family down with you to your funeral!”

In the heat of the moment, Zhang Yuanhao raised his leg and brutally kicked his disappointing younger brother.

Zhang Yuanjun was hit squarely, lost his balance, and tumbled miserably to the ground.

Zhang Yuanhao paid him no further attention and instead scampered over to Li Chen like a fawning dog.

“Mr.

Li, my brother is ignorant.

He doesn’t recognize Tai Mountain when he sees it.

I hope you can quell your anger, please calm down!”

Li Chen offered a cold smile, held up two fingers, and said, “He has provoked me twice already.

You handle it.”

After saying that, Li Chen swung his sleeves and no longer paid him any heed.

Zhang Yuanhao trembled with fear, not daring to even breathe too loudly.

Seeing such a dramatic 180-degree plot twist, everyone present was shocked into stunned silence.

The Donghua Zhang Family might not be an aristocratic family, but they are still a wealthy household with assets worth billions.

Zhang Yuanhao, set to be the family’s future Steering Person, was never expected to be so fearful of Li Chen, a mere ordinary student, like a rat in the presence of a cat—an utterly absurd thought.

In a corner not too far away, a predatory gaze was fixated in their direction.

The man was none other than the young master of the Bai Family, Bai Qianshui.

“It seems this Li Chen is not a simple character!”

One of the bodyguards glanced at Li Chen’s figure and said in a low voice, “Young Master, shall we take action and teach him a lesson on how to behave?”

Bai Qianshui thought for a moment and shook his head, “No need, now is not the time to act.

Let’s watch and wait.

Only by knowing the enemy and yourself can you fight a hundred battles without danger.”

“By the way, Bai An.

Is Duan Cannon around in Jinling these days?”

Bai An replied respectfully, “Yes, he is.

I even saw him drinking at a downtown bar this afternoon!”

Bai Qianshui thought for a moment and then ordered, “That kid Duan Cannon has also always been fond of Xuanfei.

Give him a call, invite him to come to the party tonight!”

Bai An hesitated, “Young Master, that Duan Family brat is hot-tempered and heavy-handed.

I’m worried that if he comes, he might beat that boy called Li Chen to death.

Wouldn’t that be…”

Before he could finish, Bai Qianshui’s gaze suddenly turned frosty.

“They’re just ants; if they die, they die.

What’s there to worry about?

Besides, Duan Cannon is a major in the Dragon Tooth Special Team, he has a license to kill.

If that boy dies, it’s his loss!”

“You’re right, Young Master.

I’ll call Mr.

Duan right away!”

Bai An respectedly agreed and pulled out his phone to dial Duan Cannon’s number.

After Bai An ended the call, Bai Qianshui asked, “What did Cannon say?

Can he come?”

Bai An replied with due reverence, “Mr.

Duan is still at the downtown bar, drinking.

He said he can make it here in half an hour!”

Bai Qianshui nodded and with a sympathetic gaze, looked towards Li Chen.

“Hmph, you’re still too green to be competing with me, Bai Qianshui, for a woman!”
