"I apologize, Mr. Wu Fan, but these three plane tickets were booked by headquarters at the last minute, and we didn't have time to report this matter to you."
The flight attendant looked apologetic. She had initially admired Wu Fan, but after hearing him curse profusely, she felt extremely disappointed.
"Nonsense! You need your Flying headquarters to book just three first-class seats?" Wu Fan roared, then continued.
"I don't care. You get these three people out of here. When I fly, Wu Fan has never shared first class with anyone. If this gets out, where will I show my face?"
The flight attendant looked troubled. This was not something a mere flight attendant could resolve.
At this moment, the Li Xiaotian family boarded the plane and sat down according to their seat numbers. They were precisely the three passengers in first class. Long Yi had arranged this, and Li Xiaotian paid no mind to such matters.
When Wu Fan and the others saw the Li Xiaotian family seated, their gazes immediately fell upon them.
Sun Li, Wu Fan's assistant, walked over and appraised the Li Xiaotian family's attire. Their clothes were ordinary, and their complexions did not seem well-maintained.
Instantly, Sun Li formed an opinion of the Li Xiaotian family: a middle-class family, likely unaccustomed to flying, and thus splurging on first-class tickets for this rare occasion.
"Sir, Madam, could you please move from here? I can refund your ticket money. I believe you know Wu Fan; he is constantly busy with work and only has time to rest on the plane. You might easily disturb his rest here."
Sun Li spoke, her attitude not exactly arrogant, but lacking much respect. After speaking, she ignored the Li Xiaotian family's reaction and turned back to the flight attendant.
"Take them to the economy class. We will cover their ticket costs."
With that, Sun Li walked to Wu Fan's side and whispered words of comfort. Wu Fan glanced dismissively at the Li Xiaotian family, snorted, and remained silent.
Ye Qingmei's expression turned somewhat displeased. Li Xiaotian held her hand, and the family did not move.
The flight attendant then approached with an embarrassed expression, unsure how to speak.
"You attend to your duties. We haven't said we're switching seats. You don't need to worry about this," Li Xiaotian said calmly.
Upon hearing this, Wu Fan and Sun Li's expressions immediately changed.
Wu Fan's face turned red. Just as he was about to speak, Sun Li, beside him, pulled him back.
Sun Li gave Wu Fan a look, then turned to Li Xiaotian with an unfriendly expression. "What? Are you trying to extort us? Or perhaps you still want an autograph from our Wu Fan?"
"I advise you to know when to stop. Don't push your luck!"
"There are beings in this world that ordinary people like you can never afford to offend. However, these beings generally don't bother with ordinary people because they deem it beneath them. But if you are ungrateful, don't come crying later!"
Li Xiaotian glanced at Sun Li, a flicker of anger in his eyes. His voice was low as he said, "Don't flatter yourself. We simply don't want to switch seats. We have no other intentions. If you can't stand it, then get out of here!"
"You!" Sun Li was instantly incensed, her face turning very ugly. The moment she opened her mouth, Wu Fan behind her erupted with vulgarity.
"Damn it! Are you getting too big for your britches! You bunch of idiots, do you know who I am? Believe it or not, I can expose you and make your whole family an enemy of the nation!"
"Get out of my way, you trash! What right do you have to be in first class with me? Do you deserve it?"
As he spoke, the temperature inside the plane seemed to drop instantly. Li Xiaotian slowly stood up, his eyes fixed coldly on Wu Fan, and said sternly, "Apologize! Otherwise, I'll throw you off the plane!"
Hearing this, Wu Fan's anger flared. He had never been threatened like this since his debut. He immediately surged from his seat and lunged at Li Xiaotian.
"You want me to apologize? Do you deserve it?"
"Open your dog eyes and see who I am, I am Wu Fan!!"
Wu Fan roared and lunged forward, his hand reaching out to slap Li Xiaotian.
Behind him, Sun Li's expression was grim, but she didn't intervene. She just felt a headache, knowing she'd have to spend money to smooth things over later; she was used to handling such situations.
"Ah!" But in the next moment, Wu Fan's hand, about to strike Li Xiaotian, was caught. The immense force made him cry out involuntarily.
"It hurts, it hurts! Are you trying to die! Let me go, damn you!"
Wu Fan cursed. Even though he knew he wasn't Li Xiaotian's match, he showed no fear. The reason was simple: he was a big star, and he had powerful backing.
"Let go of Wu Fan quickly! Why are you so rude? Are you trying to escalate things?" Sun Li also rushed over, attempting to rescue Wu Fan.
Li Xiaotian looked coldly at Wu Fan, said nothing, and directly slapped him.
"Slap!"
Wu Fan's face immediately turned red, and blood trickled from the corner of his mouth.
"Apologize or not?" Li Xiaotian asked, and then delivered another slap.
"Slap!" Wu Fan's face swelled up, and he looked at his own reflection in disbelief. He had actually been hit?
"Damn it! You're dead! You're dead! When we land in the capital, I'll make sure your whole family perishes!!"
"Slap!" Li Xiaotian responded with another slap, this time with slightly more force.
Instantly, Wu Fan's face was covered in blood, and several of his teeth had even broken off.
"Stop hitting him! Stop hitting him! We apologize, we apologize!" Sun Li, terrified, quickly pleaded. The reason Wu Fan was so arrogant was because of his face. If it were disfigured, how could he continue in the entertainment industry?
"Apologize!" Li Xiaotian remained unmoved, continuing his slaps.
"Slap!"
"I. I apologize! I apologize, please stop hitting me." Wu Fan finally came to his senses and struggled to shout, feeling immensely wronged.
Hearing Wu Fan's words, Li Xiaotian released him.
Wu Fan quickly retreated a few steps, casting a fearful glance at Li Xiaotian, then at Ye Qingmei and her daughter. A look of intense hatred flashed in his eyes.
His heart was filled with rage and unwillingness. Not only had no one dared to humiliate him since his debut, but no one had even dared to do so before he became famous.
"What? Still not apologizing? Want another beating?" Seeing Wu Fan standing there blankly, Li Xiaotian's voice turned ice-cold.
"No! No! I apologize, I apologize!" Wu Fan quickly replied. This was not his territory; he could only endure this insult for now and settle the score when they reached the capital.
"I'm sorry, Sir, Madam, and little one. It was my fault just now. I shouldn't have been rude to you."
Wu Fan spoke, but the hatred he felt towards the Li Xiaotian family grew even more intense.
