Chapter 66: You Know You Were Wrong? You Just Know You're Scared!

Xu Ye glanced at Su Zijiang not far away.

He had intended to message her on WeChat and invite her to lunch, but she had already been dragged away by three girls linking arms with her.

And as luck would have it, he had just blurted out that he didn't have his phone on him, so he had to drop the idea.

Still...

Who were those three girls? Her roommates?

Xu Ye smiled, suddenly feeling quite gratified.

In his previous life, she wasn't like this at all. She had always been a loner wherever she went, yet in this lifetime, she actually had friends.

Good, truly good.

He turned back to look at Sun Chengsheng. "Brother Monkey, my treat for lunch?"

Sun Chengsheng gave him an eye-roll. "You think just because I'm free, I'm actually free?"

"Training university freshmen is a mission and it requires discipline. Instructors must dine together."

"Alright, worry about yourself. I'm off. Get lost already."

Fine, fine!

Xu Ye figured he might as well go find his "sons." They were much less trouble and would never piss him off—except when they argued over who was the real daddy.

Just then, however, a figure hurried toward him.

A passing student recognized the person at a glance. Wasn't this Qi Mingyu, the Vice President of the Student Union?

Why did he look so panicked and anxious? What was going on?

"Vice President Qi..."

Someone greeted him, wanting to ask what had happened, but before the words could leave his mouth, Qi Mingyu dropped to his knees right in front of Xu Ye with a loud thud.

This sight instantly stunned everyone present.

"Xu Ye, Young Master Xu, I know I was wrong. I'm kowtowing to apologize to you, I beg you, Young Master Xu."

"What happened yesterday was my fault. I shouldn't have slandered you, and even more so, I shouldn't have been blind to Mount Tai and failed to recognize your greatness. I'm begging you, please put in a word with Tiger Lord and spare the Qi family this once!"

He kowtowed as he spoke, consumed by absolute terror.

Just last night, all of his family's entertainment businesses had been completely smashed to pieces. And the person behind it... was none other than Liang Hu!

That was Tiger Lord!

Qi Mingyu would never have dreamed in a million years that Xu Ye, a mere lowly lapdog to the eldest young lady of the Xu family, wielded such immense influence, capable of making Tiger Lord personally step forward to back him up.

Right now, there was only one solution: obtain Xu Ye's forgiveness. Otherwise...

Tiger Lord had already made it clear that this was just the beginning. In the days ahead... he had more than enough time to play with him until he died!

Xu Ye shook his head. "That wasn't your attitude yesterday."

"Weren't you shouting left and right about how you were going to finish me off?"

"You came after me yesterday, and you went after my brother today."

Power is the ultimate truth. In your eyes, I'm just a servant kept by Xu Ruowei, worth less than nothing?

Qi Mingyu's body trembled, his face instantly turning as pale as a sheet.

"Young Master Xu, I truly know I was wrong. It was my arrogance and ignorance; I was blind to Mount Tai. I'm begging you, give me one last chance. I swear I'll never dare do it again..."

"Never dare? You're only acting like this because you're scared."

Xu Ye sneered, looking down at him with icy eyes. "If you really knew you were wrong, would you have paid people to break both of my legs last night?"

"The people you hired work under Tiger Lord. Did you seriously not even know that?"

As soon as these words dropped, a wave of uproar swept through the entire crowd.

Qi Mingyu actually wanted to hire hitmen to harm someone?

Was he out of his mind?

"I... I know I was wrong. I really know I was wrong."

Qi Mingyu had no defense left and could only weep bitterly as he pleaded, "I was blinded by greed... I was young and didn't know any better, I beg you..."

"You're young? What, are you over two hundred months old?"

Xu Ye was amused, cutting him off without the slightest bit of politeness. "How is someone as young as you even in university? Give your parents a call and have them send you back to kindergarten."

"I... I'll pay you compensation! I'll give you money..."

Qi Mingyu was already babbling incoherently, frantically trying to grab onto the last straw of hope.

"Do you think money can solve everything?"

Xu Ye interrupted him a second time. "How about I bankrupt your family first, and then compensate you with two hundred bucks? Sound good?"

If this guy had merely offended him alone, Xu Ye might have spared him a way out.

But of all things he shouldn't have done, he dared to target Su Zijiang.

Having touched Xu Ye's reverse scale, not just Qi Mingyu, but every single one of those bastards from yesterday—Xu Ye wasn't going to let a single one of them off!

"This... But... But Tiger Lord said that as long as I came over and begged you with utmost sincerity, you would forgive me!"

Qi Mingyu panicked, lunging forward to grab the hem of Xu Ye's pants.

"That was Liang Hu speaking. I didn't say anything of the sort."

"I know people like you all too well. Letting you go would just mean leaving a hidden danger for myself."

"So, you'd better just sit back and patiently wait for your family to go bankrupt!"

With that, Xu Ye didn't waste another single syllable of nonsense on him. He turned around and strode toward the cafeteria.

Qi Mingyu's body went limp, and he slumped powerlessly onto the ground.

It was over. His entire family was finished.

Yet he was so close to graduation, and the Qi family's assets were originally worth well over a hundred million!

As a rich second-generation heir, a wonderful life was waiting for him right after graduation.

Ruined. It was all fucking ruined.

Xu Ye, you forced my hand. Since it's come to this... don't blame me for dragging you down with me to the grave!

Green, Green is the Attire of Your Collar: "You really are quite popular."

Looking at the message on his phone, Xu Ye the corners of his mouth turned up in a slight smile as his fingers flew across the screen to reply.

Wild Dog Running Wild: "Popular all over the world, but excluding you. What good is that?"

Green, Green is the Attire of Your Collar: "/vomit, go choke on your own cheesy lines."

Xu Ye smiled again.

Cheesy? But she was definitely smiling right now.

Green, Green is the Attire of Your Collar: "Didn't you say you didn't have your phone on you?"

Wild Dog Running Wild: "/facepalm, tactical error. Turns out it was in my other pocket, completely forgot."

Green, Green is the Attire of Your Collar: "Oh?"

"So that means you're really regretful you didn't get the freshman's WeChat?"

Wild Dog Running Wild: "It wasn't me, I didn't do it, why are you falsely accusing me?"

"Screenshot of Friend Request List.jpg"

"The last time I added a friend was at the very start of freshman year, just Zhaoyang and the guys—you saw them last night. Not a single girl among them, alright?"

Seeing the long chain of messages Xu Ye sent over, the corners of Su Zijiang's lips curved upward once again.

"Hurry!"

Sensing something, she instinctively turned her head.

Meng Xingwan was staring right at her with burning eyes, though seemingly tinged with a hint of vigilance.

"What is it?"

"N... nothing."

She couldn't possibly tell her that every time she saw her smile, she wanted to dive right into her arms and demand kisses, could she?

But damn it, who on earth was her dear hubby chatting with?

Why could they always make her dear hubby laugh out loud like that?

She wanted to peek, but ultimately she held back.

After all, peeking at someone else's chat was immoral.

Still, she secretly vowed to hunt that person down. How dare anyone try to steal a husband from under Meng Xingwan's nose?

Hmph, just you wait until I find you. Let's see how I torment, torment, and pamper you!!
