Chapter 244: Chapter 247: 500 Million

Others may not understand, but Li Xinyue knew very well that at Yiyun Clubhouse, ordinary people simply had no right to be there. Only the rich and powerful could enter these premises. Nobody could be unaware of Song Ziqiao’s status. Even if the mayor or the Municipal Party Secretary were present, they too would likely turn a blind eye, considering Song Ziqiao’s significant background. It was rare to find someone in Mile City who could provoke him.

So screaming was futile and would only result in her humiliation becoming more widely known. But Li Xinyue was not prepared to suffer in silence without fighting back. Gritting her teeth, she said, "Young Master Song, can you be gentle, please? It hurts a lot."

Seeing Li Xinyue’s tear-filled eyes and her frail appearance, Song Ziqiao laughed and said, "As long as you behave, there’s no need for me to be rough with you."

Song Ziqiao underestimated Li Xinyue. Her display of vulnerability was designed to make him let his guard down. As soon as he did, she sharply stomped on Song Ziqiao’s foot. Her pointy high heel was like a dagger, almost piercing through his shoe.

"Ah!" Song Ziqiao cried out in pain and instinctively loosened his grip on Li Xinyue. Seizing the opportunity, she dashed toward the door, trying to pull it open, only to find it locked. She didn’t know who had locked it, and by the time she managed to unlock it, Song Ziqiao had already charged over. It was too late for her to escape.

At this moment, Li Xinyue felt an overwhelming sadness. She didn’t want to be toyed with by these wealthy people anymore, but in the end, she couldn’t avoid it. Was being a good girl really so difficult?

She was so close to escaping the clutches of evil, but fate seemed unwilling to grant her such an opportunity. In that instant, Li Xinyue felt a desperate urge to die and considered fighting Song Ziqiao to the death. However, the thought of her family held her back. If she died, they would be devastated.

If only Li Yifei could be here. His background was definitely no weaker than Song Ziqiao’s, and he would surely help her. But at this moment, she didn’t have time to call Li Yifei.

Feeling Song Ziqiao’s hand reaching for her hair, Li Xinyue became numb with despair. Her heart had already died.

"Who are you?" Suddenly, a furious shout came from behind Song Ziqiao.

Li Xinyue was startled and quickly turned around, only to see a familiar figure standing before her. Although she had met Li Yifei only a few times, she remembered his silhouette vividly. Seeing him now, she immediately knew it was Li Yifei.

But she couldn’t believe that Li Yifei would appear before her at this moment. It had to be a dream. She quickly rubbed her eyes, but was afraid to open them, fearing it wasn’t real but just a hallucination.

"I’m just a nobody," the man in front of her suddenly said.

"Young Master Li... Yifei!" Li Xinyue heard his voice and immediately opened her eyes. In her urgency, she didn’t know what exactly to call Li Yifei. She stretched out her arms and hugged his waist from behind, clinging on tightly as if trying to merge her body into his.

The person who entered was indeed Li Yifei. He had been watching from outside and his opinion of Li Xinyue had greatly changed as the situation developed. He had not expected Li Xinyue to be so brave. When she was in dire straits, he had no choice but to intervene.

This wasn’t Li Yifei trying to show off or create a dramatic rescue; he had simply been unsure whether Li Xinyue was playing some kind of game with Song Ziqiao there. Eventually, he was certain that Li Xinyue was genuinely rejecting Song Ziqiao, not employing any tactics.

Li Yifei gently patted Li Xinyue’s hand and smiled, saying, "It’s okay, don’t worry, I’m here."

Li Xinyue’s face pressed gently against Li Yifei’s back as she whispered, "I know, I know. With you here, I’m not afraid of anything."

Seeing Li Xinyue embracing the man who had suddenly appeared and refusing him harshly, Song Ziqiao grew even more irritated. He spoke in a sullen voice, "Do you know where you are? Do you realize who you are talking to?"

Li Yifei met Song Ziqiao’s gaze with a faint smile and said, "Of course, I know."

"Oh, so you know who I am, and you still dare to meddle in my business. Do you have a death wish?" Song Ziqiao, who usually maintained the facade of the Deputy County Head in public and paid some attention to his image, completely abandoned all pretense here, his spoiled rich brat demeanor fully unmasked.

"Looking at you like this, I can tell you’re a beast, a piece of trash. What have I to be afraid of with a beast and trash like you?" Li Yifei’s tone was calm, but his words were incredibly sharp.

Song Ziqiao’s face turned ashen with rage as he retorted, "Alright, alright, you’ve got guts. You must be Li Xinyue’s boyfriend then?"

"Correct, you actually got it right," Li Yifei replied with a smile.

Li Xinyue stiffened. The boyfriend she had claimed was entirely fictional, and she had never expected Yifei to actually agree with her story. This unexpected agreement sent waves of sweetness through her heart. Even if being Yifei’s girlfriend was only pretend for now, she felt thoroughly content.

But then she quickly remembered something that made her heart race with anxiety. If Yifei believed he was really her boyfriend, he might be even less inclined to do anything with her. And having claimed a boyfriend only to then seduce Yifei the way she had, she feared he might look down on her even more.

For a moment, Li Xinyue’s heart was fraught with conflicting emotions, and she didn’t process a single word Yifei and Song Ziqiao were saying.

"Looking at your dressed-up, white-collar appearance, let me tell you, I have my eye on her. I’ll give you five hundred thousand yuan to leave Li Xinyue," Song Ziqiao now sat down at ease, lit a cigarette, and seemed to have everything under control. He wanted to humiliate this woman by having her boyfriend walk out on her in front of her.

"Xinyue is only worth five hundred thousand? You really underestimate her," Yifei remarked as he too lit a cigarette and took his time smoking it.

Song Ziqiao was even more pleased upon hearing Yifei’s response. He crossed his legs and said, "Kid, you really know how to take advantage of an opportunity, huh? Then tell me, how much do you think she’s worth?"

After a moment of thought, Yifei answered, "Does that mean you want me to name a price?"

"Exactly, as long as you name a price, I can definitely satisfy you," Song Ziqiao boasted, swaying slightly with pride.

"Alright!" Yifei nodded, then stretched out his right hand, fingers spread open.

Song Ziqiao frowned and said, "You really dare to name your price, huh? Five million, hmph, let it be five million then, I’ll give it to you."

At this, Yifei shook his head and waved his hand.

Song Ziqiao’s eyes bulged, and he bellowed, "Don’t you dare tell me you’re asking for fifty million from me?"

"Wrong!" Yifei smiled faintly and said, "It’s not fifty million. It’s five billion. If you give me five billion, I’ll let you take Xinyue away right now."

"You’re out of your mind for money!" Song Ziqiao shouted furiously.
