623: Chapter 612 623: Chapter 612 Wang Xiong had also asked Yaojing what she saw in Shen Yan, and Yaojing had straightforwardly said it was Shen Yan’s family background.
Although the Shen Family wasn’t among the top five in Beijing, it was still a prominent first-tier clan with assets unavailable to her locally.
Moreover, the Shen Family’s status far surpassed that of Wang Xiong’s own family, not to mention Yaojing’s.
Her family’s highest achievement was producing a deputy S-level official, and had declined over the years.
Her father was a mid-level government official, and her mother, a businesswoman, barely managed to muster up several hundred million in assets.
Yaojing had once said that if she could snag Shen Yan, it was possible for her father to mix into the committee upon retirement.
As for her mother’s company, multiplying its value several times wouldn’t be a problem.
To Yaojing, Shen Yan was the ultimate golden bachelor.
Wang Xiong found it odd; although Shen Yan appeared quite foolish, he was sharper than anyone else.
Wang Xiong was sure Shen Yan knew all about Yaojing’s colorful history.
But Shen Yan seemed not to mind and still enjoyed a pleasant relationship with Yaojing.
Now seeing Yaojing dump Li Xu, she appeared to be intent on reforming and focusing solely on Shen Yan, which quite relieved Wang Xiong.
They all grew up together and had even shared passionate encounters on the same bed.
Who wouldn’t want the other to find a good match?
With Li Xu coming here causing trouble, boasting about transforming into a Saiyan, Wang Xiong felt it was time to step in and shield his two friends from the crossfire.
“I’m telling you, Li Xu, Yaojing has broken up with you, and now she’s just normal friends with Shen Yan.
Don’t use this as an excuse to make a scene,” Wang Xiong said with a stern tone.
Fortunately, since Li Xu had interacted and drunk with them while he was with Yaojing, Wang Xiong didn’t burn all bridges with his words.
“Wang Xiong, I know all of you look down on me, but that’s okay.
I may be used to keeping a low profile, but that doesn’t mean any Tom, Dick, or Harry can step on my head,” Li Xu said with a sneer on his face.
“Shen Yan, the Beijing Shen Family, right?”
Even the most patient person would be frustrated when falsely accused, and Shen Yan snapped to his feet, asking in a low voice, “So what, is that a problem?”
“No problem at all.
With your Beijing Shen Family, you are merely the tail among the top clans.
In Sunan, you can’t climb over my head.
Daring to go after my woman, even your brother wouldn’t have the guts,” Li Xu said, with his arrogance intensifying after ending his phone call.
The clever folks present sensed the undercurrent.
“Could it be that Li Xu is actually someone influential?”
Yaojing furrowed her brows and remained silent.
Her understanding of Li Xu was limited; she had met him at a small company gathering.
He was just a minor department manager.
She initially accepted him because he seemed ambitious and at that time loved the idea of struggle, feeling there was a certain charm to a fighting man.
Hence, they began dating.
Though this man could be considered part of the gold-collar class, his status was still beneath Yaojing’s, let alone Shen Yan’s.
Now that he was aware of Shen Yan’s identity, Li Xu was certainly no ordinary department manager.
In an instant, everyone seemed somewhat intimidated.
Song Yun sat nonchalantly on the sofa, munching sunflower seeds with Li Yueyue, watching the drama unfold.
Shen Yan was momentarily taken aback and asked, “Who are you?”
“Who am I?
Hmph, even your elder brother has to call me ‘junior’ in my presence.
I was planning to keep a low profile until my term ended, then head back to my family and discuss our affairs with my father.
Yaojing, you truly disappoint me,” Li Xu said disdainfully, looking at Yaojing, who responded calmly, “No matter how remarkable your status, we’re broken up, and that’s that.
Don’t expect me to grovel with regret; it’s not happening.
I never regret my decisions.”
“Truly a remarkable woman!” Song Yun inwardly sighed.
Most women, upon realizing they’d underestimated someone they dated and that he was actually incredibly impressive, would regret and fret.
Yet Yaojing showed no such reaction, and her demeanor didn’t look feigned, which made Song Yun view her in a new light.
A woman who could tease and spar with Shen Yan wasn’t ordinary.
Wasn’t Guo Meimei Shen Yan’s female companion?
And yet, now she was as docile as a cat.
“You’ll regret it,” Li Xu said icily, fury apparent in his eyes.
Just then, several people hurried up from downstairs, one leading the pack in a suit, his face etched with urgency.
“Boss Li!” Wang Xiong exclaimed in surprise!
This man was from the Beijing Li Family, and coupling that with Li Xu’s surname made Wang Xiong’s heart sink.
Could Li Xu be from the Li Family?
Sometimes the more you wish to avoid something, the more likely it is to happen.
Boss Li spoke eloquently, stunning everyone.
“Young Master Li!
What has happened?” Mr.
Li asked, bending slightly at the waist next to Li Xu.
Song Yun’s expression turned serious.
Only those with inheritance rights in the Li Family were called Young Master Li.
Could this be a direct descendant?
If that were the case, things were getting interesting.
It turns out, not only protagonists have the right to play the fool to catch the wise, but even minor characters can do the same.
Li Xu looked disdainfully at the gathered crowd, saying, “I intended to keep a low profile.
It seems many have forgotten about the existence of our Li Family.”
Mr.
Li turned, straightened his back, and faced Wang Xiong and the others, frowning, “Wang Xiong, what’s going on?”
“This has nothing to do with Wang Xiong, come at me if you want to!” Shen Yan protested discontentedly.
He had figured that Li Xu must be from the Li Family, and although the Shen Family couldn’t publicly compete with them, they couldn’t lose face either.
So he took the initiative to shoulder the responsibility.
Wang Xiong hesitated before saying, “Mr.
Li, there may be some misunderstanding here.”
“Misunderstanding?
You’re trying to take my woman and calling it a misunderstanding?
You’re underestimating the Li Family.
Do you think just because my older brother is close to death, the Li Family is in decline?
Believe me, I could leave each of you with one less arm today, and tomorrow your families would still have to come apologize to me,” Li Xu boasted, reveling in the rare opportunity to mock those who underestimated him.
