NOVEL WEB Chapter 111: You Didnt Disappoint Me
Ye Chen wasn’t the only one envious of Chen Luo. After all, Xiao Qingxue was known as Magic City’s top beauty, attracting a multitude of suitors.
“Damn it, who is this pretty boy, exactly?”
“I’m going to get rid of this pretty boy.”
“Drop it, I advise you not to mess with him. This guy just made a fool out of the Li family downstairs by giving them hell money as a gift. Tell me, isn’t that bold?”
“Holy shit, is this guy seeking death?”
“Not necesary seeking death. Perhaps he simply doesn’t fear the Li family. Being able to enter after offering hell money as a gift suggests this man is no ordinary person. We’d better not provoke him.”
A group of rich second-generation kids gathered to discuss.
If Chen Luo were the protagonist, these rich kids might have already come over to stir up trouble. However, Chen Luo wasn’t the protagonist, he lacked the protagonist’s halo that drew animosity and didn’t lower these people’s intelligence. So, despite their significant displeasure with Chen Luo’s closeness to Xiao Qingxue, they maintained their rationale and dared not provoke him.
Therefore, if Chen Luo wanted to show off and slap faces like the protagonist, that would be impossible. That was a privilege reserved for the protagonist, and naturally, Chen Luo, the villain, didn’t qualify. Besides, he disdained such showoff tactics. Gathering hatred from all sides was not a good thing.
Upon hearing her, Chen Luo diverted his gaze from an angry Ye Chen, whose face was turning a shade of purple, to Luo Zixuan making his entrance.
Luo Zixuan arrived with three companions. Ah Da, Ah Er, and Ah San were all in tow.
“Excellent, now we won’t be short of a good show.”
Chen Luo, along with Xiao Qingxue and Zhao Yingxuan, found themselves a corner, with Elsa joining them. The four positioned themselves in the corner, ready to enjoy the unfolding drama. This spot was prime for drama watching.
“Now that both leads are here, we’re just waiting for our leading lady.”
Right after Chen Luo’s comment, Li Ting was escorted out by Li Zhong. No matter how furious Li Zhong was, the day’s wedding proceedings had to proceed.
“Why is he here too?”
Li Zhong caught sight of Luo Zixuan, feeling uneasy. He had not extended an invitation to the Luo family this time. Seeing Luo Zixuan there made him suspect Luo Zixuan came to stir trouble.
At that moment, Li Zhong didn’t have the time to order Luo Zixuan’s removal, and causing a bigger scene wouldn’t bode well for the Li family.
Li Zhong wasn’t the only one to notice Luo Zixuan, other attendees also spotted him. They all sensed an intriguing drama was about to play out, especially since the scandal had barely settled and was far from being fully suppressed.
“Is Luo Zixuan here specifically to highlight the cockold?”
“Shh, quiet down. Ye Chen is now the Li family’s son-in-law, after all. If he hears us, wouldn’t that offend the Li family?”
“Why should I whisper? Am I supposed to be scared of offending a cuckold? I doubt the Li family takes him seriously.”
“It’s odd. Why hasn’t Young Master Luo made his move yet?”
“He’s probably waiting for the right moment. But I’m really curious, does Young Master Luo truly fancy Li Ting?”
They remembered Luo Zixuan’s previous infatuation with Xiao Qingxue, serving as a devoted admirer without ever catching her eye. Luo Zixuan was infamous in Magic City for this, known as the legendary devoted follower.
Now, his affections had shifted from Xiao Qingxue to Li Ting, making him appear even more peculiar in their eyes.
Fancying Li Ting was considered an extremely unique preference. If Xiao Qingxue was hailed as Magic City’s number one beauty, then Li Ting was deemed its number one unsightly woman.
To the second-generation elites of Magic City, Luo Zixuan was someone with exceptionally unique tastes. They even considered keeping their distance from Luo Zixuan in the future, wary that his preferences might evolve to be even more unique. What if he started being interested in men? At least Li Ting was a woman, but the mere thought of him liking men tightened their… well, let’s not go there.
“Mr. Ye Chen, whether in poverty or wealth, in health or sickness, do you vow to stand by Miss Li Ting’s side for life, taking her as your wife and being faithful to her alone?” the officiant asked Ye Chen.
With a grim face, Ye Chen glanced at Li Ting. Even clad in a wedding dress, Li Ting’s appearance was so ugly that he found it difficult to look directly at her.
“I… do.”
What other choice did he have at this point?
Ye Chen felt the audience’s sympathetic stares. He knew he had become a laughingstock, all thanks to Chen Luo. Although he lacked evidence, Ye Chen’s intuition convinced him that Chen Luo was behind this scheme.
“And now, Miss Li Ting, do you–”
“She’s not willing.”
Luo Zixuan interrupted, throwing a wine bottle towards the stage, targeting Ye Chen directly.
The long-anticipated drama has finally started. Everyone, including Chen Luo, was eagerly waiting for this moment.
“Luo Zixuan, what is the meaning of this? Get him out of here,” Li Zhong commanded, having already called people.
This wedding could not afford any more disruptions. Chen Luo and Xiao Qingxue had already slapped Li family’s face. Another incident with Luo Zixuan would further drag their name through the mud.
“Try and make a move.”
Luo Zixuan’s companions, Ah Da and the rest, effortlessly dispatched the individuals Li Zhong had called over, knocking them down as effortlessly as dealing with children.
“Li Ting is mine. She can only marry me.”
With those words, Luo Zixuan stepped onto the stage and grabbed Li Ting’s hand in front of Ye Chen.
Initially, Li Ting intended to pull away, but upon seeing Luo Zixuan’s face, she hesitated. To be honest, Luo Zixuan was somewhat more handsome than Ye Chen.
At that moment, Ye Chen’s face turned a shade of green.
What did this mean? Regardless of his disdain for Li Ting, she was, at that moment, his wife.
His wife’s hand was being held by someone else, and so many people were watching, all of whom were notable figures. Could he tolerate this? If he tolerated it, wouldn’t he be a complete coward?
“This drama reallydidn’t disappoint me,” Chen Luo said, enjoying the pastries Elsa fed him while watching the drama unfold.
Many mocking gazes were fixed on Ye Chen. It was just unclear what Ye Chen should do next. Would he erupt in anger and attack Luo Zixuan, perhaps even kill him?
Chen Luo had deliberately instructed Ah Da and his team to allow Ye Chen a moment to make a move. If Luo Zixuan were to be injured again, or worse, killed him, Luo Mingde would undoubtedly unleash the full might of the Luo family against Ye Chen.
“You’re asking for it.”
Even if Ye Chen had learned restraint and patience, this moment was too much to bear silently. His kick landed on Luo Zixuan’s right arm, breaking it with a crisp snap.
Luo Zixuan screamed and collapsed on the stage with a severely comminuted fractured arm. Barring any unforeseen miracles, his arm was now rendered completely useless.
This was with Ye Chen exercising some restraint. Had he not held back, Luo Zixuan’s head might have been crushed.
“Ye Chen, I knew you wouldn’t let me down.”
Chen Luo’s lips curled up in a slight smile. Disabling Luo Zixuan’s arm made this situation even more severe than before. Whether or not the arm was amputated, it was effectively ruined.
With his son being beaten up like this, how could Luo Mingde not go crazy? He would surely mobilize every resource at his disposal against Ye Chen. The Li family would certainly back Ye Chen, and so would the Wang family, setting the stage for a clash among three of the four major families in Magic City.
This chaos would provide Chen Luo with an opportunity to take advantage of the chaos.
The greater the chaos, the more it worked to Chen Luo’s advantage. Now, his aim wasn’t merely to confront the protagonist, Ye Chen.
