Chapter Index

    “Auntie, Xiao Ya is very sensible.”

    Xu Shaochen smiled and explained on behalf of Li Qian Ya, though what he said was true.

    Last night, when he asked Li Qian Ya to move on her own, she did. Wasn’t that obedient and sensible enough?

    “Xiao Ya, look how nice Xiao Xu is to you, how much he cares for you.”

    Li’s mother said, looking at Li Qian Ya.

    Li Qian Ya pouted. One look at Xu Shaochen’s slightly upturned lips and she knew he definitely wasn’t thinking of anything decent.

    “By the way, Brother Chen, you haven’t told us your purpose for coming yet.”

    Li Tianming said, looking at Chen Gu.

    “Oh my, look at my memory. One can’t help but feel old.” Chen Gu slapped his forehead before saying, “It’s like this, Brother Li. As far as I know, the Li family has a fine golden silkwood coffin.”

    Li Tianming frowned, “Brother Chen means…”

    “Sigh, the Old Master is not doing well. The older generation is conservative and doesn’t want their bodies cremated. They still believe in the peace of burial.”

    Chen Gu sighed, his tone carrying a hint of desolation.

    “If that’s the case, Brother Chen can take that coffin. It was originally prepared for my father, but he didn’t end up using it. Perhaps this is fate.”

    Li Tianming said without hesitation. A golden silkwood coffin was nothing, but it could earn a favor from the Chen Family. Why not?

    “In that case, I thank Brother Li here and now.”

    Chen Gu didn’t mention anything about an exchange. That would have seemed too petty and unnecessary.

    Meanwhile.

    Li Qiancheng angrily sought out Yang Hui.

    Yang Hui trembled as he looked at Li Qiancheng’s gloomy face.

    He felt like a little lamb in front of a big bad wolf, at risk of being torn apart at any moment.

    “Yang Hui, if you can’t give me a reasonable explanation, pack up and move into the hospital for a few months.”

    Li Qiancheng said expressionlessly, almost grinding his teeth. Heaven knows how embarrassing the scene just now was.

    Thinking about the dilemma he was just in, unable to advance or retreat, he wanted to kill Yang Hui, the culprit.

    “Young Master Li, it’s a misunderstanding! I didn’t know he was Xu Shaochen. Yang Ming told me all this information.”

    “If I had known, I wouldn’t dare to deceive you even with a hundred lives!”

    Yang Hui said with a pitiful expression. Though not very smart, he wasn’t a fool and knew how to shirk responsibility.

    “Yang Ming? What’s going on?”

    Li Qiancheng asked, surprised that the matter was so complicated.

    Yang Hui hurriedly explained everything, of course, concealing the fact that he knew about Xu Shaochen’s information last night.

    “Young Master Li, think about it. I sincerely care for Xiao Ya. When I heard this news, I was furious and rushed over.”

    “I didn’t expect that guy to be so skilled. He beat me up. You see how wronged I am.”

    Yang Hui said with a mournful face. He felt that this rival, Xu Shaochen, was so strong it was hopeless.

    After listening, Li Qiancheng narrowed his eyes and coldly said to Yang Hui, “You fool, you’ve probably been played by Yang Ming.”

    “How could that be…”

    Before Yang Hui could finish, his expression changed, becoming uncertain. Then, he suddenly burst into anger.

    “Well well, Yang Ming, damn it! A mere side branch dares to use me? He’s asking for death!”

    He hadn’t thought of this point initially.

    Because according to his fixed mindset, Yang Ming was just a side branch member, garbage in front of him. Where would he get the guts to use him?

    Now that Li Qiancheng pointed it out, he suddenly realized.

    As a direct descendant, he had always looked down on side branch members like Yang Ming, mostly ignoring them or ordering them around.

    So his relationship with Yang Ming wasn’t good at all.

    How could Yang Ming possibly call him voluntarily to say he saw Li Qian Ya dating someone?

    At most, he would secretly mock him, but he actually called to tell him.

    Thinking about it this way, there were loopholes everywhere.

    “Ask him where he is. We’ll go find him now.”

    Li Qiancheng said coldly. The anger in his heart needed an outlet.

    Yang Ming, this side branch of the Yang family, even if he was beaten half to death, it wouldn’t be a big deal.

    “Alright, I’ll call him now.”

    Yang Hui said, taking out his Phone and dialing Yang Ming’s number. “Where are you?”

    “Second Brother, what’s the matter?”

    “Hehe, thanks to you for telling me that news. I’m coming specifically to thank you.” Yang Hui said with a forced smile, holding the Phone.

    “Second Brother, you’re too kind. It’s what I should do. I’m at the Sun Clubhouse. By the way, Second Brother, how did things go last night?”

    “Last night was very exciting. I’ll tell you more when I get there over drinks.”

    Yang Hui said through gritted teeth, then hung up and headed to the Sun Clubhouse with Li Qiancheng.

    More than ten minutes later, the two entered the Sun Clubhouse, asked for Yang Ming’s private room, and walked over menacingly.

    “Bang!”

    Reaching the door of the private room, Yang Hui raised his foot and kicked.

    Then, the door didn’t move at all.

    Everyone: “…”

    “How is it?” Li Qiancheng asked.

    Yang Hui’s face turned purple. He slowly squatted down, grimacing as he rubbed his foot. “It hurts a bit.”

    “Serves you right.”

    Li Qiancheng felt some of his anger dissipate.

    Indeed, one’s happiness is often built on others’ pain.

    Just then, the door of the private room opened. The one who opened it was Yang Ming.

    “Second Brother, why are you squatting on the ground? Tying your shoelaces?”

    Yang Ming asked with some confusion.

    “I’ll tie your mother!”

    Seeing Yang Ming, Yang Hui felt a surge of hatred. He stood up and threw a punch.

    “Bang!”

    This punch landed squarely on Yang Ming’s face.

    “Ah! Second Brother, what are you doing?”

    Yang Ming was caught off guard. He cried out in pain and fell back against the wall.

    “What am I doing? Didn’t you want to hear about last night? Come, let me tell you all about it.”

    Yang Hui said through clenched teeth, beating Yang Ming while grabbing his collar and slamming him onto the table in the private room.

    “What are you doing!”

    Another young man in the room immediately stood up and shouted.

    “You shut up!”

    Li Qiancheng pointed at him and said, then raised his foot and kicked Yang Ming’s leg.

    “Second Brother, Young Master Li, ah, stop hitting me! Stop! Young Master Li, why are you hitting me?”

    Yang Ming covered his head with both hands, enduring the punches and kicks from the two, feeling extremely wronged.

    He could understand Yang Hui hitting him. From what he just said, it must be about last night’s incident.

    But why the hell was Li Qiancheng hitting him too?
