Chapter 140: Chapter 140: Do you really think of yourself as royalty? Overestimating yourself.

At this moment, she looked like a schoolgirl with a budding crush, blushing all of a sudden.

Lu Jingchen got up from the ground, pointing at Feng Yi while still refusing to admit defeat: "You actually dared to hit me too."

Feng Yi curled his lips into a smile, his dark eyes brimming with contempt: "Do you really think you’re some kind of royalty? You’re overestimating yourself."

"Just you wait, I’ll let my dad teach you a good lesson."

People in the bar gathered around to watch the excitement, some even loudly jeering: "Coward, can’t even handle one guy with four or five people."

"Oh wow, look at how badly he got beaten up, trying to pick up girls with no skills, serves him right."

"Can’t win, so runs home to tell daddy? Still not weaned, huh."

This time, Lu Jingchen lost face completely, inside and out.

Han Xi and Lu Jinghan came back after finishing their call outside, and as soon as they entered, they saw this scene. She was so scared she hurried to Li Manman’s side: "Are you okay, what happened?"

"Don’t worry, I’m fine."

Hearing Han Xi’s voice, Feng Yi turned around, only then realizing he was still holding Li Manman’s hand. He quickly let go.

Han Xi anxiously looked at Feng Yi and asked: "What exactly happened?"

Feng Yi glanced at Lu Jingchen nearby: "This guy tried to lay his hands on your friend, so I gave him a beating just now."

Following Feng Yi’s line of sight, Han Xi felt a deep sense of disgust rising in her heart, and her words were blunt: "Lu Jingchen, you knew she was my friend and still tried to lay hands. Do you think the lesson Jing Han gave you last time was too light?"

After being beaten last time, Lu Jingchen had to stay in bed for a whole week before he could walk around. He didn’t plan to provoke Han Xi again, so he could only force a smile: "Look at what you’re saying, Sis-in-law. This was just a case of mistaken identity, like floodwaters mixing with the Dragon King’s temple. It was just a misunderstanding."

"In that case, apologize to my friend." Han Xi looked at him as if he were trash.

Lu Jingchen glanced at Feng Yi, then at Han Xi. A wise person doesn’t fight when the odds are against them, so he decided to apologize—not like he’d lose an arm or a leg over it.

He walked up to Li Manman with his hands in his pockets and stiffly spat out the words: "I’m sorry."

Li Manman leisurely patted Lu Jingchen’s shoulder, the smirk on her lips obvious: "I won’t accept such an insincere apology."

Lu Jingchen’s face turned a shade of green, his narrow eyes seemed to blaze with fire: "Don’t push your luck."

Li Manman’s temper flared, and she burst out with a curse: "Listen, you little bastard, if you don’t sincerely apologize to me today, I guarantee you’ll be missing an arm or a leg by tomorrow."

"Tch, why don’t you say you can stand shoulder to shoulder with the sun?"

Lu Jingchen’s face was full of defiance, his disdainful look could practically crush someone.

Han Xi thought Lu Jingchen was truly stupid, maybe even calling him stupid was an insult to idiots.

"Manman’s father is the CEO of Li Group, Li Shitian. Do you really think bullying Uncle Li’s daughter won’t cost you an arm or a leg tomorrow?"

Han Xi’s cold gaze was laced with impatience.

Lu Jingchen’s heart trembled. Lately, why did he always provoke people he couldn’t afford to offend?

"Turns out she’s the Li Family heiress. I must’ve been blind just now, please, Miss Li, forgive me this one time."
