Invincible Young Master in the City
Chapter 466 - 466 462 Deterring

466: Chapter 462: Deterring 466: Chapter 462: Deterring Yun Qi Society | The venue was bustling, and a charity auction was about to start.

An Qiye had arrived ten minutes early.

Since discovering on Thursday night that Dongfang Yunqi and Ye Fan were having a late-night snack together, An Qiye felt extremely resentful.

Although he knew that Ye Fan was not as poor as he appeared, he always subconsciously regarded Ye Fan as an insignificant poor boy who had emerged from nowhere.

As one of the Four Young Masters of Hua Hai, ranking even higher than the new generation of Four Young Masters, he had been pursuing Dongfang Yunqi for three years.

During these three years, although he hadn’t madly declared his love, he never lacked the courtesies of holiday greetings and gifting flowers and presents.

Not to mention supporting the Yun Qi Society events, but he only managed to secure a friendship slightly better than that of ordinary friends.

How could he swallow his pride when Ye Fan, a nobody, had quietly swept Dongfang Yunqi off her feet?

After analyzing that night’s events, he considered that Dongfang Yunqi had only had a late-night snack with Ye Fan and nothing had developed into a romantic relationship yet.

Still, it was a very dangerous situation.

Apart from him, Jin Yongning, Meng Zhanpeng, and three to four other young masters who usually followed his lead, surrounded him like stars around the moon.

“Qiye, do you think that Ye Fan kid will attend the charity auction tonight?” Jin Yongning asked.

An Qiye responded nonchalantly, “I don’t know.

But I hope he does.”

“Good, we also hope he attends, to let him fully understand his worth!” Jin Yongning said with veiled hatred, “A toad will never be able to eat swan meat!”

Meng Zhanpeng asked, “Qiye, have you found out the identity of that kid?”

An Qiye nodded calmly, “Yes, he works at Emali Group.”

Jin Yongning and Meng Zhanpeng both expressed their admiration, “As expected of Qiye, we’ve also tried our best these past two days but couldn’t find any information on Ye Fan.”

“Emali Group?

Isn’t that the company of Hua Hai’s number one beauty, Li Zhaojun?” Su Jizhi, sitting beside An Qiye, said in surprise.

An Qiye nodded, “Exactly.

According to rumors from Emali Group’s employees, Ye Fan is Li Zhaojun’s distant cousin.

However, no one has verified this.”

Su Jizhi frowned and said, “Qiye, Li Zhaojun is not someone to trifle with.

Not long ago, that good-for-nothing Xiao Yichen audaciously set a trap for Li Zhaojun, trying to force her to be his girlfriend, and his fate was not a good one.”

“True, I’ve heard about that,” another young master named Xie Yulin interjected.

“Xiao Yichen was not only sentenced to five years in prison, but he was also sexually assaulted nightly.

And in just two or three short months, the Tongyi Group, backed by Li Zhaojun’s influence, was also bankrupted and shut down!”

Others weren’t entirely surprised, having heard the rumors, but they still felt a chill.

Originally, Xiao Yichen was so flashy in this circle, ranked as the foremost among Hua Hai’s new generation of Four Young Masters, but he ended up a prisoner due to crossing Li Zhaojun.

Of course, what truly alarmed them was that even Tongyi Group, which was worth billions and listed on NASDAQ, had collapsed and fallen into bankruptcy.

They knew their own swagger and sense of superiority were entirely based on the backing of their family’s companies or parents and grandparents who held some power as officials.

Naturally, they were very sensitive and cautious toward such ruthless tactics.

“Now in Hua Hai’s circle, our parents strictly forbid us from using any schemes against Li Zhaojun, allowing only normal pursuit.” Another young master spoke up, “However, Li Zhaojun is so cold and arrogant.

She doesn’t care to associate with us at all, so we really have no chance.”

An Qiye nonchalantly said, “Although Li Zhaojun is tough to mess with, I’m not as dumb or useless as Xiao Yichen.

Besides, Ye Fan is just a distant cousin of Li Zhaojun.

Why should I be afraid of him?”

“Ha-ha, well said, well said.” The others nodded and said, “Li Zhaojun is Li Zhaojun, and Ye Fan is Ye Fan.”

They all understood what that meant.

In their family companies, there were always many distant relatives who came to seek refuge, whose connection was unknown.

In fact, they only treated those relatives as ordinary employees, rarely as true relatives.

As An Qiye and the rest were talking, Jin Yongning suddenly noticed Dongfang Yunqi’s graceful figure and promptly alerted An Qiye, “Brother Qiye, Dongfang Yunqi has come to the hall.”

Saying that, he pointed in the direction.

An Qiye looked up and indeed, it was Dongfang Yunqi.

“Heh heh, I’ll go and say hello to Yunqi first, you guys take your time,” An Qiye said with a light smile, stood up, and with an admiring gaze from Jin Yongning and the others, walked towards Dongfang Yunqi with an air of elegance.

Meanwhile, Ye Fan and Hu Jing were walking to the parking lot of Dingsheng International Hotel.

When Ye Fan headed towards his car, Hu Jing followed him.

“Where’s your car?” Ye Fan couldn’t help but ask.

Hu Jing lightly laughed, “I’m hitching a ride with you to save some gas money.”

Ye Fan chuckled, knowing it was just an excuse, but he didn’t mind since they were heading the same way.

After getting into the car, while buckling up, Ye Fan said, “Just so we’re clear, I’m not sure when I’ll leave.

If I decide to go, I really don’t like to wait for anyone.”

“I know.

When you leave, I leave,” Hu Jing said.

After starting the car, as Ye Fan slowly drove out of the parking lot, he turned to look at Hu Jing and asked, “Do you want me to turn on the heater?”

Earlier, Hu Jing, knowing there would be an exciting party after the auctions tonight and wanting to advance her relationship with Ye Fan, had dressed up glamorously in a sexy little V-neck evening gown.

Naturally, the gown wasn’t very warm.

Given it was already deep autumn and temperatures dropped significantly after dark—it was okay indoors, but quite chilly outside.

“Turn it on a bit,” Hu Jing said.

Ye Fan turned on the heater.

Then, Hu Jing, who hadn’t buckled up yet, turned towards Ye Fan and asked, “Ye Fan, how do I look in this evening dress?”

“It looks nice, really suits you,” Ye Fan responded casually.

“You didn’t even look, how would you know?” Hu Jing protested playfully.

Ye Fan gave a slight smile and turned his head to look at Hu Jing.

From close quarters, he could clearly see the undulating lines that were enticing; below the small V-neck were delicate, sexy collarbones and dazzlingly white skin.

Of course, what was most captivating was Hu Jing’s stunningly beautiful face, especially those soul-stirring, enchantingly seductive eyes that were gazing at him.
