Chapter 964: Chapter 962: Lending a Hand (9th Update)

"Brother Wang, you’re aware of how my daughter is, always fiercely independent, much like a boy; if I were to arbitrarily arrange her marriage, I fear she’d turn the skies upside down!"

Mr. Li spoke with a helpless look on his face.

"Brother Li, precisely because of Sheng Nan’s temperament, it’s even more crucial to strictly scrutinize her future husband. We can’t let her choose by herself, otherwise it could tarnish the reputation of the Li Family."

Wang De remarked indifferently.

"You’re right, Yijun does indeed meet my criteria. If he could be with Sheng Nan, I would be very supportive."

Mr. Li replied mildly.

"Thank you for your approval, Uncle. If I’m with Sheng Nan, I will treat her doubly well!"

Wang Yijun exclaimed excitedly.

"Wang Yijun, don’t you dream in broad daylight!"

A harsh, icy shout rang out, and Li Shengnan with a frosty expression strode in.

"Sheng Nan!"

Mr. Li’s gaze swept over, and he spoke.

"Sheng Nan, I..."

Wang Yijun’s gaze moved to Li Shengnan.

"Shut up, Wang Yijun, let me tell you: I will not like you, and I will not marry you. Go find someone else as your wife."

Li Shengnan declared unapologetically.

"Sheng Nan, how can you speak like this? Have you no notion of family manners?"

Mr. Li’s face turned serious as he reprimanded her sternly.

"Father, I already have someone I like."

Li Shengnan stated bluntly.

"Someone you like? Who?"

Mr. Li’s face showed surprise, and both Wang De and Wang Yijun had a look of astonishment in their eyes.

"Hey, everyone, how’s it going?"

Xiao Yifeng came in with a wave of his hand.

"It’s you!"

Wang Yijun’s face darkened as he looked at Xiao Yifeng with a surge of anger in his eyes.

Both Mr. Li and Wang De also tightened their pupils and their facial expressions changed upon seeing Xiao Yifeng.

"Kid, how come you’re here?"

Wang Yijun asked Xiao Yifeng with a cold tone.

"Isn’t it obvious? Clearly, she likes me. Are you really that obtuse that you can’t even see that?"

Xiao Yifeng shook his head as he spoke.

"That’s impossible, Sheng Nan couldn’t possibly like you, I’m telling you, leave now or else I..."

"Shut up!"

Before Wang Yijun could finish speaking, Wang De, with a stern face, barked at his son.

"Dad, you..."

Slap!

Wang Yijun, looking puzzled and confused, barely uttered two words when Wang De slapped him across the face, leaving Wang Yijun completely stunned.

Li Shengnan watched the scene in shock, and even Xiao Yifeng couldn’t quite understand what was happening.

"Dad, what’s wrong? Why did you hit me?"

Wang Yijun, holding his face, looked at Wang De, baffled.

"Apologize to Mr. Xiao immediately, did you hear me? Apologize!"

Wang De commanded in a stern voice.

"Apologize to him? Why should I?"

Wang Yijun was utterly confused, failing to understand what was happening.

"Apologize now, or you are no longer my son, Wang De."

Wang De’s tone was somber, urgency in his eyes, as he repeatedly made meaningful glances at Wang Yijun.

"I’m sorry!"

Finally, under the authoritative pressure from Wang De, Wang Yijun apologized to Xiao Yifeng with reluctance.

"Mr. Xiao, I’m sorry; my rash son spoke impulsively just now. I hope you can forgive him."

Wang De bowed slightly to Xiao Yifeng as he spoke, clearly showing great humility and respect towards Xiao Yifeng.

"No problem, he’s not worth getting angry over. However, I don’t want to see you guys again."

Xiao Yifeng said lightly.

"Understood!"

Wang De nodded, his gaze turning to Li Quan, "I’m sorry, Brother Li, but I think Miss Li and our Yijun are not suitable for each other. Let’s just forget about today’s incident."

After saying this, Wang De quickly left with Wang Yijun.

"What’s going on here?"

Li Shengnan was completely puzzled, having no idea what had just happened.

"Mr. Xiao, why are you here? Please, have a seat!"

Li Quan said to Xiao Yifeng with great respect.

"Do you know me?"

Xiao Yifeng’s gaze swept toward Li Quan.

"I’ve met Mr. Xiao before at the birthday banquet of the Patriarch of the Gu Family; you might not be aware of it."

Li Quan said with a smile.

"That guy from just now has also seen me at the Gu Family banquet, right?"

Xiao Yifeng suddenly understood something.

"Uh-huh."

Li Quan nodded.

"I get it now. It seems that Wang Yijun’s father saw the terrifying strength you displayed at the Gu Family banquet and that’s why his attitude changed so quickly upon seeing you. It seems I made the right call bringing you back."

Li Shengnan said with a smile.

"Shengnan, you just said you liked someone – was it Mr. Xiao?"

Li Quan looked at Li Shengnan.

"That was just some nonsense I made up to trick Wang Yijun and his father."

Li Shengnan’s face flushed as she quickly spoke.

"Alright, since the matter is resolved, I’ll be leaving now."

Xiao Yifeng said indifferently.

"Mr. Xiao, won’t you stay a little longer?"

Li Quan asked Xiao Yifeng.

"No."

Xiao Yifeng shook his head, his eyes on Li Shengnan, "I think you really should start dating."

With those words, Xiao Yifeng left, and Li Shengnan’s face turned red once again.

Wang Yijun and his father, having departed from the Li Family, sat in a car.

"Dad, what’s wrong? Why did you hit me and make me apologize, and then tell Uncle Li to call off the marriage alliance?"

Wang Yijun looked at Wang De, confused and aggrieved.

"Do you know who that man is?"

Wang De asked solemnly.

"Who is he?"

Wang Yijun was taken aback.

"His name is Xiao Yifeng, a castaway of the Yanjing Xiao Family. Wu Fei, the Young Master of the Wu Family, was killed by him. Moreover, at the birthday party of the Patriarch of the Gu Family, he demonstrated might comparable to that of a deity."

"We can’t afford to offend such a figure. To him, killing us would be as easy as killing ants."

Wang De’s expression was grave.

"He’s the one who killed Wu Fei?"

Wang Yijun gasped in shock.

"Therefore, you must never provoke him again, and you must also forget about Li Shengnan. If you offend Xiao Yifeng over her, you won’t even know how you die."

Wang De said with a stern voice.

At a massive racing track in Yanjing, Xiao Yifeng showed up. Qian Duoduo came up to him directly.

"Why the rush to have me come here?"

Xiao Yifeng asked Qian Duoduo, who had called him over to the track because of some urgent matter, prompting him to hurry over.

"Boss, do you know how to race cars?"

Qian Duoduo looked at Xiao Yifeng expectantly.

"What do you want?"

Xiao Yifeng looked at Qian Duoduo with curiosity.
