“No, no, absolutely not, I’m a member of the illustrious Ye Family!”

“In the entire Imperial Capital, who would dare to lay a finger on me, Ye Jizong?”

Ye Jizong’s face turned red, awkwardly forcing a smile, shaking his head desperately in denial.

“Then how did you end up like this?”

Noticing the strange glances from the people around them.

Yang Xiuxiu felt a prickling sensation on her back, suddenly feeling some disgust for the person in front of her.

The flowers and gifts Ye Jizong used to send her had filled her office workstation.

She would receive envious compliments and exaggerated screams from those around her.

Though she tried to maintain a cold demeanor, there was still a slight feeling of pride and superiority.

However, at this moment, all the dazzling scenes felt to Yang Xiuxiu…

So childish and vulgar!

“I, I was rear-ended last night while driving, that bastard was drunk, almost killed me!”

Ye Jizong quickly came up with a reason, pretending to be generous and waved his hand with bravado.

“But Xiuxiu, you know my personality, people like us from wealthy families generally don’t fuss over things with ordinary folks.”

“I saw that guy driving a lousy van, crying tearfully in fear, begging me for forgiveness on his knees, he’s definitely just a poor person, probably can’t even afford car insurance.”

“So after making him apologize, I generously let him go, considering myself unlucky, Ye Jizong.”

As he spoke, Ye Jizong’s gaze swept over the diamond necklace on Yang Xiuxiu’s neck, a glint of calculation in his eyes.

That thing was a birthday gift he had given her last month.

Now, having been expelled from the Ye Family, beaten so badly he could barely get out of bed.

All his assets had been reclaimed, even his credit cards were frozen.

Overnight, from a lavish wealthy scion to a penniless pauper.

Anyway, Yang Xiuxiu never agreed to be his girlfriend.

What does it matter if he takes back the things he had given her before?

“Xiuxiu, I’ve come to discuss something with you… my family doesn’t agree with us being together, and wants me to take back the things I gave you.”

Seeing Yang Xiuxiu distracted, seemingly thinking about something else.

Clearly, she didn’t care about his plight.

Ye Jizong felt a simmering anger inside, gritted his teeth, and decided to come clean.

“…Alright, wait a moment, I’ll return everything to you.”

Yang Xiuxiu nodded, reached to unfasten the diamond necklace from her neck, and handed it to Ye Jizong without hesitation.

“Xiuxiu, don’t blame me for being realistic, you kept putting me off before, refusing to agree…”

Seeing this, Ye Jizong became even more frustrated, his tone turning sarcastically bitter.

He thought Yang Xiuxiu would get upset.

Would feel the loss of such a fine suitor.

Who would have thought she’d be so indifferent, without any emotional fluctuation?

“I don’t blame you, I…”

Yang Xiuxiu shook her head, just about to continue.

But out of the corner of her eye, she unexpectedly saw two cars slowly driving down the school road.

One of the black luxury cars looked particularly familiar.

It was the one she had seen under the hospital last night!

Her heart skipped a beat, and Yang Xiuxiu became visibly emotional, staring intently at the black luxury car that was coming to a stop.

Sure enough, both cars pulled over by the side of the road one after the other.

Then a group of beautifully dressed young men and women emerged, among them was a familiar figure.

Lin Fan, it was really Lin Fan!

Her gaze fixated on Lin Fan, dressed in ordinary casual sportswear.

Yang Xiuxiu’s pupils shook violently.

Suddenly she felt her eyes moisten with excitement, her whole body trembling!

Could it be fate that brought them together again unexpectedly?

Could it be that Lin Fan had intentionally found out where she worked and came to find her?

Boom!

Yang Xiuxiu’s mind went blank, almost wanting to break down and cry.

This time, she was determined to make up for the regret of last night.

To apologize face-to-face to Lin Fan for what she couldn’t say before!

“Xiuxiu, it was him, that bastard Lin Fan who hit me with his car!”

The next moment.

Before Yang Xiuxiu, trembling all over, subconsciously walked towards Lin Fan.

Ye Jizong suddenly shuddered, eyes turning red, pointed at Lin Fan, cursing him harshly!

Damn it, you ruined my life.

You, Lin Fan, still won’t let go, and now hunt me down like a fallen dog?

What grudges or grievances do I have with you? All I did was bully the widow and orphan of your comrade in arms once, didn’t I?

Why do you keep going after me, determined to crush me, Ye Jizong, to death!

Ye Jizong was filled with such hatred, both shocked and furious, his face twitching with a fierce grimace.

Nearly grinding off the few teeth he had left!

“You know Lin Fan too?”

Hearing this, Yang Xiuxiu froze for a moment, then suddenly came to her senses.

Looking at Ye Jizong with a gaze now tinged with unhidden disgust.

You must be kidding; with Lin Fan’s status and strength.

How could he possibly fear a mere Ye Jizong like you?

Let alone be so frightened that he begs for your forgiveness while crying like a baby?

Ridiculous, utterly ridiculous.

And it’s not just Lin Fan; even someone like Mr. Wang, one of his subordinates,

Even if he directly ran over and killed you, Ye Jizong, it would probably still be no big deal!

“Yes, he’s the one who hit me with his car! That dog had been scared to tears by me last night, kneeling and banging his head for a long time.”

“If I hadn’t pitied him, I wouldn’t have been so magnanimous to let him off!”

Ye Jizong hadn’t noticed the change in Yang Xiuxiu’s expression.

He continued to glare at Lin Fan with bloodshot eyes, and at the dazzling beauties around him.

Fuming with anger and envy, almost bursting with rage!

Who the hell do you think you are, Lin Fan, just a lowly ex-soldier?

Do you think you can meddle in other people’s business just because you know Ye Yunjing’s private number?

Look at those cheap clothes you’re wearing; they’re not even worth the socks on my feet.

Where do you get the nerve to flex among those beauties, showing off, when you’re not even worthy of them!

“Didn’t you say he was driving a wrecked van? How come now he’s driving a luxury car?”

Watching Ye Jizong spout nonsense, utterly shamelessly lying.

Yang Xiuxiu felt so disgusted that she almost puked, and retorted with a look of displeasure.

“Hmph, he must have stolen someone else’s car to show off! Maybe he’s just a worker at a car wash, secretly driving a customer’s car out for a ride.”

Ye Jizong turned red with anger at the question, raising his voice in irritation.

“…Alright, let’s go over and ask Lin Fan in person, and have him apologize to you again.”

Yang Xiuxiu took a deep breath, suppressing the strange emotions boiling inside.

After her calm statement, she strode purposefully towards Lin Fan and his group.

“Huh? Let’s just, forget it, Xiuxiu, listen to me, we are respected people, how can we keep pestering others? “

Seeing this, Ye Jizong was dumbfounded.

In a panic, he leaned on his crutches, hobbling quickly to catch up, plastering a pleasantry on his face in an attempt to dissuade her.

But Yang Xiuxiu was unmoved, continuing her determined pace.

Ye Jizong’s eyes flashed with uncertainty, steeling his resolve.

To avoid being exposed in front of her, he had no choice but to follow her doggedly.

After all, no one knew Lin Fan’s true background.

Hmph, even if I’m exposed face-to-face, what can he do to me?
