Chapter 193 - 193 189 Xiao Yichen's Resentment and Poison

193: Chapter 189 Xiao Yichen’s Resentment and Poison 193: Chapter 189 Xiao Yichen’s Resentment and Poison “Ah, I trust Yanyan’s judgment and believe Mr.

Ye can sing ‘Love’s Devotion’ beautifully,” Dongfang Yunqi hesitated for a moment before firmly making her statement.

Xiao Yichen was infuriated upon hearing this, his face turning completely gloomy.

Even Dongfang Yunqi had betrayed him because of this youngster, Ye Fan, despite all the times he had supported Yunqi’s club before.

Seeing Xiao Yichen’s dark expression, Dongfang Yunqi felt secretly displeased: It was you who started nitpicking.

Shen Yan personally chose her duet partner, and you openly questioned her.

It’s no longer a matter of lacking grace, but intentionally causing trouble.

Although she was tactful and always advocated for harmony, she also had her pride and would not go against her principles just to avoid offending Xiao Yichen.

Ye Fan intentionally said to Xiao Yichen with a smile, “Haha, Mr.

Xiao, I’m really sorry.

Actually, it has been over six years since I last sang, as of about a month ago.

But since Miss Shen thinks highly of me, I guess I’ll have to embarrass myself.”

Shen Yan pursed her lips, holding back her laughter, internally scoffing at Ye Fan for being infuriatingly cheeky, getting a bargain and still playing cute, deliberately not letting Xiao Yichen save face.

“But, he said it’s been six years since he last sang; could that be true?” she couldn’t help but curiously wonder.

Thinking about how Ye Fan initially couldn’t sing ‘Spring Mud’ and even forgot the lyrics to ‘Love’s Devotion,’ she somewhat believed him and decided to ask him privately later.

Dongfang Yunqi was a bit amused yet helpless, seeing that Ye Fan was clearly intent on escalating the conflict.

Was he not afraid of Xiao Yichen’s retaliation afterward?

Xiao Yichen’s breadth of mind was not as large as it seemed.

Xiao Yichen scowled and huffed heavily, saying, “I hope you can live up to Miss Shen’s trust in you, and not end up being chased off the stage with bricks and rotten eggs halfway through your song!”

After speaking, he proudly lifted his handsome face, no longer looking at Ye Fan, and turned to Shen Yan and Dongfang Yunqi, “Miss Shen, Miss Yun Qi, I won’t disturb your arrangement of the performance.”

He knew that staying would only provoke more gloating jeers from Ye Fan and also give off the bad impression of being a sore loser and graceless, so he simply walked away and began to stir up his friends to cause trouble during Ye Fan’s performance later.

“Please feel free, Mr.

Xiao,” Dongfang Yunqi said with a faint smile.

Facing Dongfang Yunqi’s stunningly beautiful smile, Xiao Yichen’s gloomy mood slightly lifted.

He deliberately maintained his manners, smiling faintly and nodding his head before turning to leave.

However, as he turned and walked back to his friends, he immediately faced many piercing glances and countless hushed conversations that echoed ominously in his ears, plunging his mood to the depths, his hatred for Ye Fan deep into his bones.

“Look, Xiao Yichen seems to have been driven away by that youngster.”

“Seems so, look how upset he looks!”

“No way, Xiao Yichen can’t match up to some unknown poor kid?

Being called the top of Hua Hai’s new generation of ‘Four Young Masters’ might be undeserved.”

“Maybe that youngster is just too formidable, and Xiao Yichen is no match for him.”

“Psh, how impressive can that kid be?

I think it’s more that Xiao Yichen is all show and no substance.

We usually just give him face because of his father.

That new face probably didn’t know about Xiao Yichen’s background, just didn’t give him any face, and managed to push him out in just a few moves.”

…

…

The first time!

The first time in his life!!!

Ever since he was a child, Ye Fan had experienced countless moments of being the center of attention, discussed by many.

Every gaze that focused on him was filled with envy, admiration, and praise, and every comment was uniformly complimentary, envious, or even jealous.

This time, however, he encountered the first instance in his life where the crowd mocked and ridiculed him, their comments and questions filled with schadenfreude.

Such gazes and comments made him extremely embarrassed, making him wish he could sink into the ground.

“Ye Fan, the humiliation you gave me today, I, Xiao Yichen, swear to return it a hundredfold, a thousandfold, a ten thousandfold!” Xiao Yichen cursed inwardly with bitter venom and boundless hatred.

As he approached his friends, Zhou Hongzhi and the others had incredulous expressions on their faces.

It was indeed surprising for them to see Xiao Yichen at a disadvantage, especially due to some unknown newcomer, and in front of two top beauties.

They had all assumed that Xiao Yichen, by approaching Shen Yan and Dongfang Yunqi, would at least be able to dance with one of them.

“Mr.

Xiao,” Zhou Hongzhi and others couldn’t help expressing their surprise and confusion.

However, the shock and confusion in the faces and voices of Zhou Hongzhi and the others only deepened Xiao Yichen’s embarrassment, darkening his face like the bottom of a pot.

Without a word, he grabbed Zhou Hongzhi’s arm, walked three or four steps, then ominously whispered into Zhou Hongzhi’s ear, “Hongzhi, don’t you have a grudge against that kid?”

“Yes, I was just about to call some people to deal with him,” Zhou Hongzhi said through gritted teeth.

He now dared not directly provoke Ye Fan, fearing that Ye Fan, being too brutal and barbaric, would disregard the rules and beat him up on the spot.

Even if he retaliated tenfold later, he would still have been beaten and ridiculed.

Xiao Yichen also said through gritted teeth, “Good.

In a little while, that kid will perform a duet with Shen Yan.

You know what to do, right?

Bring more people.”

“Absolutely!

That kid wants to show off?

No way!” Zhou Hongzhi said hatefully, “Mr.

Xiao, rest assured, I know what to do!”

Xiao Yichen nodded slightly and parted ways with Zhou Hongzhi.

He had his reputation to think of and could not afford to stoop low by causing trouble himself, so he incited Zhou Hongzhi to act.

In another small group, Zhao Shuaijiang laughed delightedly, “Who would have thought that the invincible Xiao Yichen would have his day?

Delightful!

Ye Fan has truly brought us many surprises.”

Though he and Xiao Yichen were both among the four young masters of Hua Hai city, they were not friends but rather subtle enemies.

Seeing Xiao Yichen being humiliated publicly, Zhao Shuaijiang would certainly not miss the opportunity to mock him.

“Yeah, Ye Fan is incredibly badass,” Tang Mingyi wholeheartedly agreed, “We all came here together, yet he alone quickly won Shen Yan’s favor and even made Xiao Yichen leave in front of Dongfang Yunqi and Shen Yan.

Hehe, I could never do that.”

“Kiki, I feel like I’m starting to admire him,” Zhang Ruolin said with a light laugh.

“Haha, so you feel that way too!” Tang Mingyi laughed.

“We feel the same,” the others said, laughing.

Although Zhao Shaodong smiled reservedly and kept quiet, deep down, he truly admired Ye Fan.

He had genuinely clashed with Xiao Yichen several times, always coming off worse, and he knew well that Xiao Yi’s position as the foremost among the four young masters of Hua Hai city was no fluke.
