CHAPTER 62: CHAPTER 62 A FLOCK OF SPARROWS

Ye Ye Ye?

What the hell?

Everyone, hearing Li Xu suddenly start stuttering, followed his gaze with puzzled expressions and immediately noticed Ye Fei.

"Brother Ye?"

Upon seeing Ye Fei, Chen Qian was overjoyed. She immediately skipped over in small, quick steps, grabbed his arm, and smiled as she said, "Brother Ye, it’s so good to finally see you! Where have you been lately? Xiao Qian hasn’t seen you in such a long time!"

"Haha, Brother Ye had something to take care of out of town, but now I’m back," Ye Fei said with a smile.

At the same time, he gave Li Xu a deep look. Li Xu, startled like a mouse seeing a cat, immediately lowered his head.

However, no one else seemed to notice Li Xu’s reaction.

Shi Tian sneered and said, "Had something to take care of out of town? Haha, Ye Fei, stop making it sound so nice. Did Mr. Chen give you a piece of his mind and make you recognize who you really are?"

Bi Jie, Zheng Tan, Han Fenfen, and the others all smirked knowingly at Shi Tian’s comment.

At the last banquet, they had seen with their own eyes how Ye Fei was summoned by Chen Xing’s subordinates.

Afterward, Ye Fei disappeared from Yuntai.

From their perspective, it was clear that Chen Xing had warned Ye Fei, leaving him no choice but to stay away and avoid meeting with Chen Qian.

Only Li Xu stood aside, panic written all over his face.

Are these people stupid?

This is Mr. Ye! And they dare talk to Ye Fei like this? Are they insane, or simply fearless? Or do they completely have no idea that the man before them, Ye Fei, is none other than the legendary and fearsome Mr. Ye of Su Province?

Thinking of this, Li Xu became even more convinced that the others were unaware of Ye Fei’s true identity!

Judging by Chen Qian’s demeanor towards Ye Fei and the looks on Shi Jietian and the others’ faces, it was evident that they were utterly clueless about the man they were dealing with.

Realizing this, Li Xu wished he could slap himself in the face.

It wasn’t just because he had stupidly chosen to partner with the Shi Family but also because he dreaded how he’d even dared to harbor thoughts about Chen Qian.

Seeing how close Chen Qian and Ye Fei were, it was obvious that Ye Fei was concealing his identity to pursue a romantic relationship!

And yet, he, Li Xu, had dared to covet Ye Fei’s woman. Wasn’t that as good as courting death?

If it weren’t for Ye Fei’s warning glance just now, Li Xu might already be on his knees begging for forgiveness.

While Li Xu writhed in silent torment, Shi Tian continued with disdain, "Ye Fei, since we’re talking about status, let me introduce you to a real big shot—Mr. Li of the Binjiang Li Family. A single finger from him could crush you. Now hurry up and pay your respects to Mr. Li!"

"Pay respects? Would he dare accept them?" Ye Fei replied with a faint smile.

"Of course, he..."

Li Xu was just about to speak when Shi Tian angrily shouted, "What the hell are you talking about? Do you even know what you’re saying? Stop pretending like we don’t see through your act!"

"Exactly! Ye Fei, that villa on Purple Mist Mountain doesn’t even belong to you. You’re just a dog of the Guo Family, a gatekeeper for Guo Can! Did you really think we wouldn’t find out?" Zheng Tan promptly sneered.

"Haha, Ye Fei, I don’t know how you ended up here, but now that you’ve offended Mr. Li, do you really think you’ll leave in one piece today?" Bi Jie remarked coldly.

Hearing the taunts from Shi Tian and the others, Li Xu felt like dying inside!

A bunch of idiots. If they wanted to dig their own graves, fine—but why drag him down with them? At this moment, he wanted nothing more than to strangle Shi Tian and the gang.

But without Ye Fei’s approval, Li Xu dared not reveal Ye Fei’s true identity. Besides, his legs were already trembling, leaving him unable to move.

All he could do was look at Ye Fei with a pitiful, pleading gaze, hoping to convey that this mess had nothing to do with him.

Seeing Li Xu stay silent, Shi Tian and the others thought he was simply furious, so they watched the scene unfold with amused anticipation.

Wu Xia, on the other hand, sighed inwardly.

"Ye Fei, oh Ye Fei! Why are you still so arrogant after Mr. Chen approached you? Have you not come to terms with your place and your ignorance?"

"You’re merely on good terms with Guo Can, but to him, you’re just an unimportant friend. Do you think you can ride that coattail forever?"

"I’ve told you before—what’s fake will always be fake! Without your own strength, your bragging and baseless arrogance will only lead to trouble. Before, when Bi Jie and the others gave you trouble, I relied on my reputation to shield you. But now that you’ve offended Mr. Li, how will you handle it?"

Thinking of this and recalling the relationship between her mother and Ye Fei’s mom, Wu Xia eventually stepped forward and said to Li Xu, "Mr. Li, Ye Fei is just immature. Could you forgive his careless remarks?"

Forgive him?

I’ll be lucky if Mr. Ye forgives ME!

Hearing Wu Xia’s plea, Li Xu was on the verge of tears. But he understood that without exposing Ye Fei’s identity, this was the best course of action.

So, with a contorted expression, he reluctantly nodded.

Seeing this, Wu Xia quickly expressed her gratitude to Li Xu before turning to Ye Fei and saying, "Hurry up and leave! Get out of Mr. Li’s sight!"

"Leave?"

Ye Fei let out a cold laugh and was just about to speak when a man in a black suit suddenly stepped off the rooftop elevator. Upon spotting Ye Fei, he walked straight toward him and said, "Mr. Ye, Miss Guo asked me to inform you that Mr. Chen and the others have arrived. It’s almost time."

Upon hearing this, Chen Qian immediately asked curiously, "Brother Ye, what time is it almost?"

"It’s nothing. I just have something to take care of, so I’ll head out first," Ye Fei replied with a faint smile, patting Chen Qian on the head as he turned and walked away.

Explain things to these spoiled brats?

Ye Fei had no such inclination. He’d rather use the time to attend his company’s ribbon-cutting ceremony. So without hesitation, he left the scene.

"Once again, Guo Can saved his neck! Hmph! Next time I see him, I won’t let him off so easily!" Bi Jie snorted disdainfully as he watched Ye Fei leave.

Shi Tian, however, chuckled and said, "Bi Jie, you’re wrong. I’m afraid it’ll be a long time before you see Ye Fei again."

"What do you mean?" Bi Jie asked curiously.

"Didn’t you hear? Mr. Chen is here, and Guo Can immediately had Ye Fei leave. What does that imply? It means Mr. Chen wants Ye Fei out of Yuntai. The only reason Ye Fei showed up here today must’ve been because Guo Can pulled some strings. Now that Mr. Chen is here, Ye Fei has no choice but to leave!" Shi Tian laughed heartily.

The others, hearing this, nodded in agreement.

Seeing their reactions, Shi Tian waved his hand dismissively and said, "All right, let’s not let that bumpkin ruin our mood. Mr. Li, don’t take him seriously. He’s just an imbecile—"

Smack!

Shi Tian hadn’t even finished speaking when Li Xu slapped him across the face, sending him spinning in place three times.

"You’re the real imbecile!" Li Xu roared with rage, his face twisted in fury.
