President Li Steps In and Deals with the Scammer
Li Zeyuan lowered his dark eyes and sat up straight like a perfect gentleman, his expression a little unnatural.
"Sit tight!" Ye Huo said calmly.
Then she continued gnawing on the chicken foot in her hand as if nothing had happened.
Mu Lan steadied his nerves after the terrifying near miss.
He hurriedly opened the car door and got out to see what was going on.
An elderly man had collapsed in front of the luxury car and lay there, wailing, "Oh, my leg! You broke it! Pay my medical bills!"
"Nonsense! You threw yourself at the car!"
Even the good-natured Mu Lan couldn't hold back his temper.
He could already tell that the man, who was in his fifties or sixties, was staging an accident for compensation.
"Come and look, everyone! Tell me if this is right! They injured someone and won't pay up. How heartless!"
The old man lay in front of the car, sobbing at the top of his lungs.
The road became crowded in an instant, and a large crowd gathered around them.
One after another, they began pointing fingers. "Yeah, look how pitiful the old man is! The rich people in the car are so awful. They drive a Rolls-Royce worth ten million, but can't bear to pay the old man a little for his medical bills!"
"Exactly! Young people these days just don't know how to respect the elderly and care for the young!"
Sitting in the car, Li Zeyuan heard the discussion, and his sinister face darkened inch by inch.
Ye Huo couldn't stand watching anymore, either.
Her little face was as white as jade, with no trace of makeup and a rosy flush.
Her long black hair fell loose, naturally beautiful, like an enchanting creature that had taken human form.
"Don't be angry. Let me teach him a lesson."
Ye Huo sat upright in the car, her voice domineering.
She was ready to teach him a lesson.
Li Zeyuan didn't want his own girlfriend to look down on him.
His voice was rich and low, like thousand-year-old palace wine, utterly bewitching.
"Huohuo, stay seated. Uncle will handle this!"
He had Mu Lan take the front passenger seat and got behind the wheel himself. In front of everyone, he pulled out his black phone and sneered. "Hello. Insurance company? Get a million ready. I'm going to run someone over and kill them!"
His voice was frighteningly cold!
The onlookers were all stunned.
What?
Who on earth was this handsome man? He asked for a million the moment he opened his mouth, and he wasn't even afraid of running someone over and killing them!
He had to be the CEO of some publicly listed company!
"Yes, President Li."
The insurance manager answered respectfully from the other end of the line.
Li Zeyuan hung up and rested his long, pale fingers on the steering wheel.
His expensive black suit gave off a faint, lingering fragrance.
Ye Huo caught a whiff of tobacco, a subtle scent unique to a grown man.
She looked at the handsome, coldhearted man who would rather run someone over and kill them than compromise, and smiled.
Just wait and enjoy the show!
Li Zeyuan's gaze was icy.
The profile of his face was perfect, and his neck, cheeks, and fingers were unbelievably pale.
His skin was cool and pale, and he was too handsome for words.
He looked at the old man lying in front of the car, who kept demanding more money, and his lips curled again.
In the dim yellow light inside the car, killing intent grew in the man's sharp eyes.
His angular face bore an overbearing arrogance, like a beast ready to burst from its cage at any moment!
This was probably his ruthless side as a businessman.
The engine roared as the man slammed on the accelerator, and the car sped forward to run him over.
Without the slightest hesitation!
He was heading straight for the old man, intent on killing him-
Terror filled the old man's eyes. He sprang up and ran backward.
Panic surged through him. He hadn't expected the man to be serious, and he had nearly been run over and killed just now.
The crowd saw the old man spring up from the ground and flee backward at top speed just as the car was about to run him over.
Only then did they realize he had been putting on an act all along.
He was staging an accident for compensation.
The car's owner hadn't hit him at all!
The crowd immediately turned on the old man, pointing their fingers at him instead!
"How shameless! At his age, he's still out here scamming people."
"It's not that old people have turned bad. It's that bad people have grown old."
"Serves him right. Run him over and kill him!"
Seeing that his scam had failed and that he had nearly been run over and killed, the old man could only tuck his tail between his legs and slip away through the crowd.
Li Zeyuan switched seats with the driver.
He returned to Ye Huo's side.
The car pulled away slowly, and a black sedan stopped at the entrance to the Ye Family home.
Mom and Dad were overjoyed to see their precious daughter return.
With the weekend approaching, both her grandfathers also came with bags and bags of gifts for their precious granddaughter.
As soon as Ye Huo got out of the car, the whole family welcomed her home, treating her like their darling.
The dining table in the living room was laden with a lavish spread.
They had heard that their little sister's car had broken down. Fortunately, she was all right.
Her eldest brother, Ye Mo, was quite grateful to Li Zeyuan for bringing her home.
He invited Li Zeyuan into the villa for dinner.
Li Zeyuan accepted without standing on ceremony.
Dressed in a suit, his tall, straight figure set off his noble bearing. With a smile on his lips the whole time, he quietly watched Ye Huo and ate his dinner with elegance.
Ye Huo paid him no mind.
She was the darling of the whole family. Sitting in the middle, she held a porcelain bowl and gnawed on a chicken leg.
Both grandfathers, both grandmothers, her parents, and her brothers all gazed at their precious Huohuo with utter indulgence.
They had prepared all of precious Huohuo's favorite dishes.
Barbecue, spicy chicken, hot pot, and other spicy dishes.
The whole family kept piling food into her bowl.
"Precious Huohuo, you must be tired from school today. Eat more!"
"Precious Huohuo, your PE teacher said our girl is wonderful at basketball. You're Mommy's pride and joy!"
"Precious Huohuo, Daddy freshly squeezed this cherry juice for you. Have a taste."
Ye Huo hadn't even finished one chicken leg before the food in her bowl was piled as high as a little mountain.
And so, under her family's exceptionally warm and doting gazes, she finished dinner.
Li Zeyuan truly envied the Ye Family's atmosphere of togetherness.
He was very satisfied with the meal.
Before leaving, he made a point of reaching out to pat Ye Huo on the head. "Little ancestor, Uncle's leaving!"
"Goodbye. I won't see you out."
Ye Huo was as indifferent as ever.
She went back to her room, changed into sportswear, and got ready to go for a run.
She never skipped her morning and evening workouts.
With rosy lips and pearly teeth, the young woman wore her black hair loose over her shoulders and went out for a run in a simple tracksuit.
Her mother, Jian Yan, was worried.
She instructed her three sons to accompany their little sister on her night run.
Ye Huo ran ahead along Riverside Avenue, an air of coldness about her.
Her three brothers followed behind, protecting her.
Li Zeyuan drove behind the four of them at a distance the entire way, unable to bring himself to leave for a long time.
People out walking by the river were stunned by the sight.
Who was this young girl, to have three incredibly handsome men and a black luxury car worth ten million following her all the way?
She was so cool!
