For pursuers without any self-awareness, Chen Yuanyuan has always been straightforward in her rejections, "I'm not interested in you at all. You don't even take a look at yourself, do you think someone like you is worthy of me?"
As she spoke, she pointed to her nose, "You think you're worthy? Worthy my ass!"
Seeing Huang Ying so astonished, Chen Yuanyuan merely cast her a cold glance and then indifferently turned her head away.
Huang Ying jogged up to Chen Yuanyuan, eyes wide, whispering, "Yuanyuan, what's going on with you? Even if you don't want to accept, there's no need to reject someone this directly."
Huang Ying glanced at the dazzling pendant, her voice laced with temptation: "Look at that pendant, I made sure to find out, the receipt clearly says two million. As long as you nod, the money is yours."
Chen Yuanyuan just scoffed dismissively and replied blandly, "Do I look like someone who's short of money?" Not to mention two million, she couldn't care less even about ten million. She, Chen Yuanyuan, was from one of the four great families of Port City, and with her desires, what wealth wasn't at her fingertips?
Fang Renjie's smile vanished instantly upon seeing Chen Yuanyuan's attitude, replaced by sheer arrogance and disdain: "Chen Yuanyuan, don't be ungrateful. It's already your fortune that I took a fancy to you. And you dare reject me? Utter foolishness."
At this moment, Lin Beichen, who had been silent, suddenly walked over to Fang Renjie. He assessed Fang Renjie up and down, then shook his head and chuckled lightly, "With what you've got, you dare call yourself Renjie?" Saying this, he raised his hand and delivered a precise slap to Fang Renjie's face.
Everyone was stunned; their eyes widened, mouths agape in disbelief at Lin Beichen. Especially Huang Ying, her face turned beet red, her mouth opened wide enough to fit an egg, eyes filled with shock and incredulity.
Fang Renjie clutched his face, growling quietly, "How dare you hit me? Do you know who I am? You're dead!" He glared at Lin Beichen as fiercely as a rabid dog, seemingly ready to pounce and tear him to pieces.
However, Lin Beichen just looked at him coldly, his gaze filled with disdain and mockery. He said dryly, "Looks like one slap isn't enough for you to recognize your own place. Maybe I should give you a hand." Saying this, he lifted his foot, aiming as if to kick Fang Renjie's heritage. This scared Fang Renjie white as a sheet, making him retreat repeatedly, fearing for his essential legacy.
Chen Yuanyuan couldn't help but laugh out loud at this sight.
She mocked the disheveled Fang Renjie, "Oh my, watched too many TV dramas? How did those lines come out?" She knew Lin Beichen's prowess; even professional hitmen might not match him, let alone some petty shop thugs. That's why she stood there so fearlessly, watching the show.
Huang Ying and the others trembled with fright at this scene; they never expected this seemingly weak man to dare hit someone. Moreover, judging by his demeanor, he didn't take Fang Renjie seriously at all! It was terrifying! They looked at Lin Beichen with terrified eyes, fearing he might target them next. But Lin Beichen just cast them a cold glance and turned away, paying them no heed.
"Yuanyuan, calm down." Huang Ying, face full of shock, urgently grabbed Chen Yuanyuan, her voice filled with worry, "Fang Renjie has quite the influence here, aren't you afraid of him? If he goes crazy, we'll all be in trouble."
Chen Yuanyuan gave Huang Ying a cold glance, a scornful smile on her lips: "Your worries are completely unnecessary. He's just a small-time bar owner, does he really think he can stir up any storm? Ridiculous."
After speaking, she pushed Huang Ying aside, facing Fang Renjie directly with a taunt: "In such a small place, are you still trying to show off? Not to mention you, even if your father comes, I might not take notice."
Fang Renjie's face darkened, fixing a cold stare on Chen Yuanyuan: "You're right, this place is nothing. But it's more than enough to accommodate you both."
On hearing these words, Huang Ying and the others turned deathly pale. They seemed to foresee the potential horrors to come, trembling uncontrollably.
Yet Chen Yuanyuan just sneered, hiding behind Lin Beichen, provocatively looking at Fang Renjie: "If you've got the guts, go ahead and try."
A trace of ferocity flashed in Fang Renjie's eyes, and he suddenly reached out, trying to grab Chen Yuanyuan. But right then, a big hand came out, steadily blocking his move.
Lin Beichen looked at Fang Renjie coldly, his tone full of disdain: "You barking dog, do you really think you're something special? Don't forget, you're just a beast in human skin. Watch out, lest someone stews you for meat someday."
"What did you say?" Fang Renjie roared in fury, eyes bloodshot, like a beast on the brink of madness.
He tore off his suit, revealing his muscular build, glaring viciously at Lin Beichen: "Pretty boy, do you dare say that again?"
Lin Beichen just chuckled disdainfully: "For someone like you, what harm in saying it ten times over? Don't think having bulk makes you special; in my eyes, you're just a clown."
