Chapter 589: Chapter 589: Party Conflict
“Oh, everyone’s here.” At this moment, a voice sounded at the doorway, and when everyone turned around, a man dressed in a coat walked in, taking a seat directly.
Ye Shikai casually sipped his beer. This person, named Zhang Kai, was a second-generation rich kid in their class back then, drenched in the air of a spoiled rich kid. Even though it wasn’t that cold outside, he was wearing an extravagant coat.
No one liked spoiled rich kids, and Ye Shikai was no exception. Most importantly, this guy was always so full of himself, even having the audacity to openly pursue Chen Yuxin. At least the high school Ye Shikai couldn’t stand it—Chen Yuxin was the school beauty and naturally attracted many, but her eyes were only for Ye Shikai. She coldly rejected everyone else. Moreover, she had concealed her Chen family identity, which led many to even think of forcefully taking her. But in the end, they were all beaten to the ground by Ye Shikai. It was also for this reason that in high school, Ye Shikai always seemed to have bruises and cuts…
“Oh, Yuxin is here too.” Zhang Kai pretended to be surprised, snapping his fingers as a bodyguard promptly presented a bouquet of roses.
“Here, a little token of my affection, please accept it,” said Zhang Kai with a smile, but no one in the room egged him on.
Not only hypocritical but also shameless.
“Kai, eat this.” Chen Yuxin acted as if she hadn’t seen him, showing her affection by picking a dish for Ye Shikai with her chopsticks.
If the timing weren’t so inappropriate, Ye Shikai would really want to kick this man out, and he guessed Chen Yuxin probably felt the same…
Caught off guard by their display of affection, Pang immediately started to cheer, “Ye, your wife is so good to you.”
“Cough cough.” Zhang Kai let out an awkward laugh. “Yes, Yuxin, eat some more shrimp.” Then turning, he cast a disdainful look at Ye Shikai, “Such things, a little white-collar like him can’t afford.”
Just as Chen Yuxin was about to raise her hand, Ye Shikai held it down firmly on his thigh, giving her a subtle look. Chen Yuxin regarded Ye Shikai as the most important person, and now someone dared to mock him; Ye Shikai himself didn’t feel offended, but Chen Yuxin, who came from a noble family, cared greatly about her image. She would rather be mocked herself than tolerate even a slight insult directed at Ye Shikai. Now, she was eager to retaliate, thankful that Ye Shikai had promptly stopped her. After all, this was a class reunion; acting rashly would only bring trouble.
“What are you talking about, Mr. Zhang, daring to provoke our Ye?” Pang slammed the table hard, his flesh quivering with the impact, his reddened face indicating he was about to lose his temper due to the alcohol.
“Hmph, people with such low quality are also worthy of dining here?” Zhang Kai scoffed, his comment offending everyone present.
“Zhang Kai, what are you doing?”
“Calm down, everyone, sit down. It’s a class reunion, what’s the fuss about?”
The people around immediately stepped in to smooth things over. Ye Shikai originally didn’t want to make a scene either. If he were to get angry over a few mocking words, he would be too impetuous.
“Hmph, what did I say wrong? A little white-collar can’t afford such luxuries. Yuxin, I advise you to recognize reality sooner rather than later.” Zhang Kai, far from being subdued, became even more brazen.
It makes one wonder, can having money really do as one pleases?
Unfortunately, Zhang Kai is definitely not considered wealthy.
Chen Yuxin’s face was growing uglier by the moment; she was itching to have this “dead dog” thrown out immediately. If not for Ye Shikai blocking her, she would have definitely done so. This was her turf after all; Zhang Kai actually thought she had no backing—such an ignorant frog at the bottom of a well was truly ironic.
“Asshole.” Pang grabbed a beer bottle and threw it straight at Zhang Kai, hitting him right in the chest, instantly causing chaos. Zhang Kai was not someone to just take things lying down, especially as he considered Pang to be “low-class.”
“Hit them,” Zhang Kai yelled, and the three brawny men behind him immediately rushed forward. Ye Shikai knew that Pang was no match for these professional bodyguards. If he didn’t do something, Pang would surely get seriously injured.
“Whoosh whoosh.” Ye Shikai suddenly stood up, delivering a swift side kick to the head of one of the bodyguards, then with a nimble kick, sent another flying several meters away, and finally, a heavy punch squarely hit the third bodyguard’s nose, causing blood to gush out immediately.
The female students in the crowd screamed, a succession of strikes flowing smoothly like water. Ye Shikai had a glower on his face—were these girls not afraid at all?
“Who’s fighting here?” Just then, the manager came bursting in with a pair of security guards.
“Manager Liu, you’ve arrived just in time. It’s this person.” Zhang Kai had been feeling terrified, but as soon as Ye Shikai made his move and took down his three bodyguards, Zhang Kai was nothing more than a defenceless man in front of him. Now rescue had arrived.
“Mr. Zhang, it’s you. Okay, let me see.” Just as Manager Liu saw Ye Shikai’s face, his initially fierce expression wilted instantly. Being servers at middle-management level, they often observed and read different situations well, and this man in front of them was personally hosted by Chen Ruoya last time; his status must be far higher than Zhang Kai’s.
His gaze subconsciously slid downwards, and when he saw the woman by Ye Shikai’s side, his legs almost gave way in shock. Chen Yuxin is the Chairman of the Chen Group, and this Zhu Xi Hotel is one of its properties. As a manager, having had the fortune to see Chen Yuxin a few times, he naturally knew she was an absolute VIP. At this moment, Chen Yuxin was showing him a cold smile.
Manager Liu was about to step forward to greet her but then saw Chen Yuxin put her index finger to her lips. With a quick-witted mind, Manager Liu immediately understood her intention. Ye Shikai was standing by Chen Yuxin’s side; obviously, he was someone she protected. Even with ten times the courage, Manager Liu wouldn’t dare to act against him. Therefore, the person to be thrown out must be Zhang Kai.
“Cough cough, someone come, throw these people out,” commanded Manager Liu rudely, even using the word “throw.” Seeing the corners of Chen Yuxin’s mouth lift slightly, Manager Liu finally breathed a sigh of relief. He had made a very wise decision.
“What, Manager Liu, are you mistaken?” Zhang Kai’s mouth fell open in shock, wide enough to swallow an egg.
“No mistake, what are you waiting for? Get these four out of here.”
“Yes, Manager.” Following the command, the security guards immediately took action. The three bodyguards were already half-unconscious and were directly carried out, and as for Zhang Kai, his small frame was barely worth mentioning…
After dealing with the four individuals, Manager Liu turned around and repeatedly bowed in apology to everyone, then instructed the servers to bring out the dishes and poured many fine wines. Now, it was the turn of the classmates to be stunned—what exactly was going on?
