Chapter 117 - 117 113 Jealous Quarrel

117: Chapter 113 “Jealous Quarrel 117: Chapter 113 “Jealous Quarrel However, when Bobo suggested that Ye Fan pretend to be Lin Yuehua’s boyfriend to drive away the suitor outside, Ye Fan shook his head and said, “You can just drive him away openly and fairly, no need to pretend.” After saying this, he turned and walked outside. Although from the grandeur of the suitor’s confession, it was clear that the slick, young man came from a background that was either rich or noble, what did that matter? Bobo laughed excitedly with a giggle and followed Ye Fan outside. She was just like Qin Mengyao, a girl who couldn’t stay out of trouble, always eager to join the fray. As they reached the entrance of the martial arts hall, Bobo quickened her pace, walking past Ye Fan and leading the way. With her lovely face and a tall, slim figure, dressed sexily, she exuded a bubbly energy. As soon as she emerged from the martial arts hall, she immediately attracted the attention of everyone present, and all the spectators assumed she was the main lady in the suitor’s confession. For a moment, the crowd stirred, and the noise rose to a crescendo, with many nosy onlookers shouting loudly, “Accept! Accept! Accept!” A considerable part of the audience also followed suit, chanting “Accept!” The scene erupted with synchronized shouts of “Accept” that were deafening, as if the main lady not accepting the confession was akin to facing a thousand pointed fingers of blame. Bobo, with a smiling face that was flowers-blooming lovely, walked toward the grease-haired suitor with disgust in her heart, feeling contempt for this confession that seemed romantic but was in fact quite violent and coercive. The young man making the confession was named Zhou Hongzhi, whose family assets were worth twenty or thirty billion. He had seen Lin Yuehua by chance and was immediately struck by her beauty. After his advances were rebuffed by Lin Yuehua, who ignored him even after he revealed his identity—which only made her scorn him more—her elusiveness made her all the more desirable to him. He had followed her and, upon discovering she was a martial arts instructor at Gulan Martial Arts Hall, repeatedly forced his way in with LV bags and platinum jewelry necklaces to confess his love, only to be turned away. Encouraged by several of his cronies, he then orchestrated this grand gesture of confession to force Lin Yuehua to come out and accept him as her boyfriend. Zhou Hongzhi was full of confidence and determined to succeed this time. Although someone had come out from the martial arts hall at the beginning to inform him that Lin Yuehua would not accept the confession, he believed it was just her playing hard to get. He couldn’t imagine that a mere female martial arts instructor could withstand his grand and luxurious romantic gesture. When he saw Bobo emerge from inside the martial arts hall, walking toward him with a smile that bloomed like flowers, his eyes immediately lit up, finding her equally beautiful and especially young, at around seventeen or eighteen, full of youthful vitality. She caught his eye and made his heart beat wildly. “She’s so beautiful, with such an amazing figure!” he thought, eyes gleaming as he stared at Bobo, “Could it be that my grand and luxurious confession moved her so much that she’s actually coming to confess to me? If that’s the case, should I accept? I must! It’s like killing two birds with one stone, and I’ll have something to show off in the future! Hahaha…” With these thoughts in mind, he put on what he considered his most handsome smile and struck what he thought was his most debonair pose, ready to receive the confession. Bobo stopped about three meters in front of Zhou Hongzhi, raising her arms, white as snow lotus roots, in a gesture for everyone to quiet down. Immediately, the crowd fell silent, waiting for this “main lady” to speak and accept the confession. Bobo’s pretty face turned cold as she pointed at Zhou Hongzhi and snapped, “Pretty boy, how dare you try to steal my sister-in-law! Did you even ask my brother’s permission?” Zhou Hongzhi’s smile froze, and he was taken aback. The crowd of onlookers was similarly shocked. At that moment, Ye Fan walked up beside Bobo from behind. “Bro, teach that guy a lesson!” Bobo pointed at Zhou Hongzhi while turning her head to call out to Ye Fan. Ye Fan was at a loss for words; this Bobo really wasn’t afraid of stirring up trouble. Yet, at this point, he had no choice but to pretend to be Lin Yuehua’s boyfriend. He nodded slightly to Bobo before striding up to Zhou Hongzhi, looking down at him, and said in a deep voice, “I’m Yuehua’s boyfriend, please stop harassing her.” Zhou Hongzhi sized up Ye Fan with an ugly look on his face. Noticing Ye Fan’s clothes were new but obviously cheap, priced around a hundred or two hundred yuan, he puffed out his chest, raised his face arrogantly, and said, “You get out of here! My dad is the chairman of Sanhe Group. If you know what’s good for you, scurry away like the good little boy you are and leave your girlfriend to me. Otherwise, you’ll be dead!” “Are you really not willing to leave?” Ye Fan frowned. He, the Black Dragon of the Hua Hai Dragon Group, had been reduced to competing for a woman in public, and not even his own woman at that, which was a complete loss of face. So, he was in a very bad mood. “What, you want to fight me?” Zhou Hongzhi suddenly took a few steps back and yelled. Five or six brawny men in black tank tops immediately came forward to protect him. These four brawny men were clearly bodyguards, with a fierce demeanor and threatening stares directed at Ye Fan. Ye Fan had prepared for this confession, for he feared being chased away by someone from the martial arts hall since the location was outside the hall, and thus, he had specifically brought bodyguards. At the same time, several young men clearly from wealthy families sauntered up to Zhou Hongzhi’s side, laughing and joking. In a moment, Zhou Hongzhi became overwhelmingly mighty with many on his side. “Beat him mercilessly, break one of his legs, and also, slash his face!” Zhou Hongzhi pointed at Ye Fan, calling out arrogantly, “Trying to steal a woman from me, Zhou Shao? He’s asking for death!” The six brutish bodyguards immediately scowled and moved toward Ye Fan. The one in the middle, a muscle-bound man, was the first to clench his fist, large as a vinegar jar, and throw a punch at Ye Fan’s head. Ye Fan sneered coldly, finding this Zhou Hongzhi truly had reached the peak of arrogance. With his right hand open, he casually grabbed the incoming punch of the muscle-bound bodyguard. The fist came to a complete stop as if it had hit a wall. The brawny bodyguard’s face turned beet red, pushing forward with all his might, yet his fist remained utterly still. Ye Fan’s eyes became frosty as he suddenly exerted force, twisting and pulling back while kicking out at the same time. Ah— The burly bodyguard screamed in pain, sent flying several meters by Ye Fan’s kick, rolling on the ground unable to get up. The surrounding onlookers were all shocked. The burly bodyguard was not only tall but also covered in bulging muscles, and he easily weighed over 150 to 160 pounds. Yet, he was kicked several meters away by Ye Fan with a single blow—what immense strength that must be. Afraid that the world wouldn’t be thrown into chaos, Bobo clapped and cheered gleefully, “Big brother is so powerful! Big brother is so powerful! You must teach them a severe lesson for daring to snatch my sister-in-law!” Seeing this, the remaining five hulking bodyguards turned pale and, shouting, “Attack together!” they pounced on Ye Fan, clearly intending to beat him up collectively. But Ye Fan, undaunted by the odds, didn’t retreat but instead advanced. Before the gathered crowd could even see what was happening, they saw the five brawny bodyguards flying through the air, screaming in agony. Zhou Hongzhi, seeing that the six bodyguards he had paid a hefty price for couldn’t withstand a single move from Ye Fan, instantly turned pale and scrambled to escape. However, Ye Fan took a step forward and reached out with a long arm, immediately grabbing Zhou Hongzhi by the collar and lifting him up, then raising his left hand. Slap! Slap! Slap! Three crisp sounds echoed in quick succession. Zhou Hongzhi’s face swelled up immediately. “How dare you hit me? You’re dead meat! My dad is the chairman of Sanhe Group, and he’s good friends with Deputy Chief Chen of the police! You’re finished, nobody in Hua Hai can save you!” Zhou Hongzhi threatened desperately, his eyes blood-red with arrogance. “Shut up!” Ye Fan snorted coldly and raised his left hand again—slap, slap, slap, landing three more slaps. This time, Zhou Hongzhi quieted down. His face was so swollen it seemed to rise half a foot, blood spilling from the corner of his mouth, two of his teeth knocked out. “Stop hitting me, please, I’m begging you,” he pleaded, sobbing. Ye Fan remained unmoved, speaking coldly, “You just said you’d break my leg and slash my face. Well, I’ll be returning the favor.” “No, please! Big brother, let me go; I’ll give you money, one million, two million!” Zhou Hongzhi cried out, so frightened that he lost control of his bladder and bowels. Ye Fan sneered, “It’s too late. The moment you ordered your bodyguards to attack, you sealed your own fate.” “Stop right there!” Suddenly, a crisp and melodious shout came from the gate of Gulan Martial Arts Hall. Ye Fan turned his head and saw five or six people emerging from the hall’s gate, and the one leading was a breathtakingly beautiful girl, about eighteen years old. The stunning girl had skin like ice and a complexion like jade, her beauty and purity seeming otherworldly, like an ethereal orchid blooming in a secluded valley. She wore a light purple long dress and carried an extraordinary presence.
