The surprised female classmates gradually understood something from Cheng Xiaofan's words.
It seemed that Li Jieqiong and Li Lili had sought trouble with Cheng Xiaofan, infuriating him, which led him to intentionally antagonize them.
But what gave Cheng Xiaofan the confidence to confront Li Jieqiong?
Su Yingli, in particular, was going mad!
Just moments ago, she had been bragging about her position as a high-ranking executive at the Heaven and Earth Group, and how she and Li Lili, Li Jieqiong's niece, were sworn sisters.
However, she had never expected Li Lili to be kneeling before Cheng Xiaofan at this very moment.
This slap in the face was too sudden.
And too harsh!
Like everyone else, she stared at Cheng Xiaofan with wide eyes, as if she were an idiot.
She wondered if this bumpkin was the posthumous son of some powerful figure in the capital, who had been left in the countryside and was now being recognized by that figure.
Otherwise, why would he dare to confront Li Jieqiong?
Su Yingli could not accept it no matter how she thought about it!
With this thought, Su Yingli couldn't help but speak again, "Cheng Xiaofan, I finally understand. You must be the posthumous son of some powerful figure in the capital, and now that you've been brought back, you're using your family background to go up against Li Jieqiong!"
"Cheng Xiaofan, you are so ignorant. For the sake of our campus belle Xia Yuxue, I warn you, you cannot afford to provoke Sister Lili's aunt. You should stop right now!"
"Otherwise, you'll have a very ugly end!"
"Su Yingli, shut your mouth!"
Before Cheng Xiaofan could retort, Li Lili exclaimed angrily, "If you dare to spout any more nonsense, believe it or not, I'll have someone tear your foul mouth apart!"
"..." Su Yingli was instantly stunned into silence.
Why was everything she said making Li Lili so angry?
Where did she go wrong?
Was what she said not correct?
At this moment, Cheng Xiaofan glanced at Su Yingli with disdain.
This woman was indeed capricious and harsh, always picking faults and belittling those she looked down upon. In reality, she wasn't truly malicious.
Compared to Li Jieqiong and Li Lili, she was much better.
Besides, they were classmates, and Cheng Xiaofan was too lazy to bother with her.
He then turned his gaze back to Li Lili and said, "Li Lili, you may rise. I will not let your aunt off until she transfers all her assets to me."
Li Lili sobbed, "Mr. Cheng, my aunt will surely grant your wish. Please, temporarily alleviate her pain and let her have a good night's sleep tonight!"
Cheng Xiaofan smiled slightly and said, "Alright, I can give you a pill for her to take. It will ensure her a peaceful night's sleep!"
"But I must tell you, this is only for one night's peace. The next day, the 'flesh-piercing needles' within her will double her pain, and she will truly experience what it means to wish for death."
"However, this will also serve as a lesson for her, to understand the consequences of offending me, Cheng Xiaofan!"
"I understand, Mr. Cheng. My aunt and I were both wrong. We shouldn't have opposed you!" Li Lili kowtowed repeatedly, weeping.
Cheng Xiaofan took out a pill from his backpack and handed it to her, saying, "Li Lili, take this pill back for your aunt to consume."
"Remember what I told you!"
"I remember, thank you, Mr. Cheng!"
Li Lili got up from the ground, took the pill from Cheng Xiaofan, and said, "I'll call you tomorrow to get in touch!"
Cheng Xiaofan nodded and said, "Okay, you can go now!"
"Thank you, Mr. Cheng!" At this moment, Li Lili was extremely obedient in front of Cheng Xiaofan.
She turned around and immediately left the private room.
Only then did Cheng Xiaofan address the classmates present, "I apologize. It's my fault for ruining the atmosphere of our gathering. Come, I'll toast everyone again with Xia Yuxue's wine, as a gesture of my apology!"
Except for Su Yingli, everyone else raised their cups and drank the wine.
Bai Yuxia asked curiously, "Classmate Cheng, I have something I don't understand. How did Li Jieqiong and Li Lili offend you?"
Hearing this, Cheng Xiaofan knew that if he didn't explain, everyone would pester him with questions.
Everyone had curiosity, and his situation was truly extraordinary.
Cheng Xiaofan chuckled and said, "Actually, it's very simple. I have a pet dog, who is very beautiful and incredibly smart. For some reason, these aunt and niece found out and wanted to take my pet dog away."
"What's hateful is that they knew I wouldn't agree, so they secretly sent people to plant flesh-piercing needles in me, intending to kill me."
"Unfortunately, I saw through their plan in advance, snatched the flesh-piercing needles, and casually stuck them into Li Jieqiong."
Due to the inconvenience of revealing the specific details to those present, he could only come up with such a lame excuse to fob them off.
But this reason was too far-fetched.
Everyone present rolled their eyes for a long time.
Did they believe it?
They could only listen with a grain of salt.
Ma Xiaoyan said with a look of disbelief, "Classmate Cheng, no way! For a pet dog, you want to seize all of Li Jieqiong's assets?"
"You know, Li Jieqiong's assets are not something an ordinary person can swallow!"
Cheng Xiaofan chuckled and said, "Actually, I'm not coveting Li Jieqiong's assets. In terms of wealth, I'm far richer than her!"
"Hahaha!"
Su Yingli, hearing this, seemed to have finally found a handle on Cheng Xiaofan and burst into laughter, saying, "Cheng Xiaofan, have you gone crazy from poverty? Are you suffering from delusions?"
"As a bumpkin like you, to have more assets than Li Jieqiong, you're really funny. Do you want me to laugh myself to death?"
Cheng Xiaofan paid no attention to Su Yingli.
He casually took out a bottle of "Supreme Joyful Wine" from his backpack and placed it on the table.
He said with a smile, "This is a beverage wine I developed called Supreme Joyful Wine. At an auction, this bottle was auctioned for 10 billion yuan by me!"
"You can all search for it on your phones on Baidu!"
This was not Cheng Xiaofan intentionally showing off at the class reunion.
He just wanted to maintain his normal persona and not let everyone misunderstand that he was truly driven to desperation by poverty and was using extreme measures to extort Li Jieqiong.
If Li Jieqiong hadn't angered him, he wouldn't have pursued her to the capital to take action against her.
Upon hearing Cheng Xiaofan's words, the female classmates present, including Su Yingli, took out their phones and began typing keywords into Baidu.
Soon, various information about Cheng Xiaofan appeared on their phones.
As they saw this information, the female classmates' expressions immediately changed.
First, it was confusion!
Then, bewilderment!
Finally, utter shock!
Their faces displayed a rich spectrum of emotions.
Their wide eyes were almost popping out of their sockets.
A Briton, after drinking half a bottle of Cheng Xiaofan's Supreme Joyful Wine, had his late-stage cancer cured on the spot.
Some people even offered one hundred billion yuan to purchase a bottle of Cheng Xiaofan's Supreme Joyful Wine!
