221: Chapter 220 The Broken Bridge at West Lake [Third Update, Seeking Recommendation Votes] 221: Chapter 220 The Broken Bridge at West Lake [Third Update, Seeking Recommendation Votes] Three days later, Li Chen and Ye Chuxue went to Hang City together.

Hang City was shrouded in misty rain, and in the distance, Lingyin Mountain appeared like a shy fairy, half-concealing her face, partly hidden and partly visible.

Beyond the mountains are more mountains; outside the tower is another tower.

When will the songs and dances of West Lake ever cease?

The warm breeze intoxicates the visitors, making them mistake Hangzhou for Bianzhou.

Ye Chuxue stood on the Broken Bridge, gazing at the shimmering West Lake, as excited as a child.

“Xue’er, take care, don’t fall into the lake!”

Seeing Ye Chuxue hopping and skipping around, Li Chen hurriedly called out to warn her.

Ye Chuxue tilted her little head, stuck her tongue out playfully at Li Chen, and made a funny face.

Her adorably silly look melted hearts.

She was originally a beautiful and pure girl.

That one turn of her head and smile made all the lotus flowers in ten miles pale in comparison.

In an instant, she captured countless gazes and made a group of men bend over backwards.

Li Chen was at his wit’s end with Ye Chuxue, so he let her carry on.

Just at that moment, an ecstatic voice suddenly came from behind.

“Yikes, Chuxue?

What are you doing here?

When did you come to Hang City?

You didn’t even tell me, so I could’ve come to pick you up!”

Ye Chuxue turned towards the voice, only to see a group of handsome young men and women walking towards her from the Su Causeway.

The leader, a handsome man dressed in white casual wear, was waving at Ye Chuxue with a look of delight.

Seeing the newcomer, Ye Chuxue was also excited.

“Zhao Zihao, Liuu Yiyi, you guys are here too!”

Ye Chuxue’s mother, Tang Lan, hailed from the Tang Family of Hang City.

Despite the Tang Family not being a top-tier clan, they were a well-known local aristocracy.

Tang Lan fell in love with her classmate Ye Yuancheng in university and married him after graduation against her family’s wishes, which caused a strain in her relationship with her family.

This tense relationship only eased somewhat after the birth of Ye Chuxue.

Moreover, Ye Chuxue’s maternal grandparents adored her.

They treated her with more affection than their own grandchildren, as if she was a treasure to be protected at all costs, reluctant to let her out of their sight.

At that time, with Tang Lan busy in the hospital and Ye Yuancheng occupied with his career, they had no choice but to temporarily entrust their newborn daughter to her grandmother’s care.

That was why Ye Chuxue attended nursery and primary school in Hang City, only moving to Donghua for middle school.

These beautiful young men and women were all her grandmother’s neighbors or her primary school classmates.

Liuu Yiyi had a good relationship with Ye Chuxue and naturally grabbed her hand as they exchanged pleasantries.

After a few introductory words, she pointed to Li Chen and said, “Chuxue, this must be the boy who is staying at your place, right?

He’s quite handsome!”

The other girls accompanying them also circled Ye Chuxue, asking her various questions.

Seeing that Li Chen was stealing the limelight, Zhao Zihao’s expression darkened immediately.

“I’m a friend of Ye Chuxue; my name is Zhao Zihao.

They all call me Brother Hao, you can do the same.

Rest assured, with my name in Hang City, no one will dare to trouble you!”

Despite his polite words, his tone exuded an air of arrogance.

Li Chen looked at his outstretched hand and smiled lightly.

“Thanks, but no thanks.

Besides, even if I did have problems, you wouldn’t be able to solve them.”

Zhao Zihao, who was already irritated with Li Chen, got furiously angry upon seeing the lack of recognition.

“Bro, what do you mean by that?

Are you looking down on Zhao?”

Li Chen nodded and said, “That’s right, I am looking down on you.

What’s the problem, you have an issue with that?”

Hearing Li Chen’s response, the few privileged youths following Zhao Zihao immediately became agitated.

“Hey, kid, you’ve got some nerve talking to our Brother Hao like that?”

“Damn it, such arrogance even though you’re dependent on others?

It’s not your fault to be of low status, but being ignorant of it is your mistake.

I hope you write down this piece of advice hundreds of times when you go back home and engrave it in your heart!”

Li Chen’s eyes suddenly turned cold, and he slapped Zhao Zihao across the face with a swift hand.

“Slap!”

Zhao Zihao’s mouth swelled from the slap, fresh blood oozed from the corner, and several of his teeth were shattered.

The whole place fell into dead silence in an instant.

Li Chen shook his hand and said coldly, “The last person who dared to talk to me like that has gotten quite good at wheeling himself around.

Today, I’ll let it pass for the sake of your acquaintance with Chuxue.

But there won’t be a next time.

Mind your behavior!”

Ye Chuxue didn’t expect things to escalate to this point and felt rather embarrassed.

On one side was her childhood friend, and on the other was Li Chen.

Childhood is such a joyful time.

The friendships of childhood, so precious.

Childhood friends, so important.

That’s why…

Ye Chuxue didn’t hesitate to choose to stand by Li Chen.

Zhao Zihao, covering his swollen face, gritted his teeth in hatred.

Fury filled his eyes as he glared venomously at Li Chen.

“Kid, you’ve got guts.

You think I can’t make it so you can’t stay in Hang City?”

Li Chen snickered, “Sure, I’ll be waiting for you!”

Liuu Yiyi is Ye Chuxue’s best friend and seeing her caught in the middle so awkwardly, she stepped in to smooth things over.

“All right, we’re all Chuxue’s friends, so let’s all say less to make it easier for her.”

The Liuu family is also one of the local aristocratic families in Hang City, and Liuu Yiyi, being the only daughter, has always been treated like a treasure, and it’s very likely that she will take over the entire family legacy in the future.

So, what she said here carried weight.

Zhao Zihao didn’t want to fall out with Liuu Yiyi and Ye Chuxue over a guy like Li Chen, so he had to grind his teeth and swallow the humiliation.

“Kid, just wait, this isn’t over!”

With that, he and a few brothers left in a huff.

Seeing everyone leave on bad terms, the situation was very awkward.

Liuu Yiyi came up, hooked Ye Chuxue’s arm, and cleverly changed the subject.

“Chuxue, I just saw Tang Wan’er and the others, do you want to say hi?”

Tang Wan’er’s full name is Tang Wan’er, and she is Ye Chuxue’s cousin.

She has always taken great care of Ye Chuxue, practically treating her like a little sister.

However, Ye Chuxue didn’t respond directly but looked at Li Chen with an inquiring gaze.

Li Chen smiled faintly and said, “Chuxue, go ahead and also send my regards to your grandparents!”

Liuu Yiyi laughed and asked, “What, handsome guy, aren’t you going with her?”

Li Chen shook his head, “I have some things to deal with for the time being, so I’m not going just yet!”

After speaking, he looked up at the sky and said, “Chuxue, I’ll probably be busy until the evening.

You go ahead to your grandma’s place, and I’ll find you later!”

Ye Chuxue thought for a moment and nodded, “Hmm, okay!”

After taking a couple of steps, she turned back to look.

Li Chen hadn’t left but stood on the broken bridge, flashing her a charming smile.

Ye Chuxue smiled back, her beautiful eyes filled with tender affection.

Liuu Yiyi, adept at reading expressions, hooked Ye Chuxue’s arm and mischievously asked, “Chuxue, is that your boyfriend?”

Ye Chuxue’s face turned red, and she whispered, “Not yet!”

“If he’s not your boyfriend, then why are you blushing?

But really, he does have a manly charm.

Especially that slap on Zhao Zihao, it was simply dashing!”

As she spoke, Liuu Yiyi even had hearts in her eyes, a look of infatuation on her face.

Ye Chuxue pouted, “Ah, Yiyi, why are you still like when you were little, always going crazy over handsome guys!”

Liuu Yiyi responded, “What, worried that I’ll steal your little lover?”

Ye Chuxue rolled her eyes and said, “Tsk, go ahead and try to steal him if you can!”

Liuu Yiyi caught the key word in Ye Chuxue’s words and teasingly chimed in, “Oh my, someone just stubbornly said he wasn’t her boyfriend, now suddenly he’s acknowledged as a little lover?”

Ye Chuxue only then realized she’d been led into a trap, and her cheeks reddened even more.

From afar, she looked like a ripe apple, sweet and juicy, almost dripping.

Not to mention men couldn’t resist such temptation; even someone like Liuu Yiyi, a fujoshi, felt a sense of wanting to fall for it.

As Li Chen watched Ye Chuxue and Liuu Yiyi leave, a faint smile appeared on his face inadvertently.

However, when he retracted his gaze and looked out over the Ten Miles of West Lake, the smile on his face immediately faded away.

By noon today, this expanse of verdant lake waters would be stained red with blood.

The entire Hang City, and even the Great Jiangnan area, would be thrown into chaos.

The existing power structure would be reshuffled.

The fates of countless families and countless people were to be rewritten.

And he, Li Chen, was the one who would rewrite this new chapter of the Great Jiangnan!

…

Midnight, a nearly 3000-word chapter is delivered!

A few points to declare again: the first book won’t go on sale before 1 million words are reached, it’s still early days!

Next: regarding Lin Xuanfei, she has only gone abroad to study, and she will definitely return later.

Lastly: Ye Chuxue is the main female lead, and other characters who receive more focus, like Lin Xuanfei and Moo Xi, will all have a satisfying resolution.

There will be no disgusting plots like giving away women or cuckoldry.

Rest assured in reading.
