Chapter 224: Chapter 224 Disgusting Stuff
Liu Yan’s words filled Yang Fei with revulsion.
He had never met Li Wenjun and his wife Liu Yan before; he had only heard Liu Yan’s voice over the phone. Now that Liu Yan was speaking, he recognized her by her voice.
However, to be greeted with such words from the start, coupled with an arrogant and condescending attitude, as if the city people were looking down upon country bumpkins, was utterly disgusting.
Out of respect for Li Xuantong, Yang Fei had not planned to pick a fight with Li Wenjun and his wife before coming here, but now he was angered and couldn’t help but look at Liu Yan and say, "Old Auntie, who are you exactly? Do we know each other?"
Liu Yan exploded on the spot, "You... you little bumpkin, who are you calling ’old auntie’? I’m only in my forties."
Yang Fei sneered coldly, "If you’re only in your forties, why do you speak with such sharpness and spite? Aren’t people like you, from the city, supposed to be of high quality? Why do I see not a trace of manners or refinement in you?"
Liu Yan, trembling with anger, pointed at Yang Fei and said, "You... you... you’re too much, you are!"
Li Wenjun was a pushover, afraid of his wife and also doted on her. Seeing his wife get so infuriated by Yang Fei, he slammed the table, stood up, and pointed at Yang Fei, "Yang Fei, you are too rude. Do you know who we are?"
Yang Fei shook his head, "I don’t, which is why I said this old lady is ill-mannered. We aren’t acquainted, yet she mocks and scorns me upon meeting. Am I her father? Should I indulge her?"
Liu Yan, with a face ashen and eyes filled with spite, glared at Yang Fei, wishing she could tear him apart.
Li Wenjun was also provoked, his eyes glaring at Yang Fei as he said, "Yang Fei, what’s with your speech? Regardless, we’re older than you, your elders."
"I’m indeed from a small place, but the elders in our village have refinement; they don’t talk to the youngsters with mockery and scorn," Yang Fei said with a cold laugh.
Li Wenjun’s face turned red with embarrassment. He pulled rank and said, "My father is Li Xuantong, and she is my wife. You could say we’re somewhat your bosses, right? By that count, aren’t we your seniors?"
Upon hearing this, Yang Fei chuckled, "Oh, so you’re Old Li’s son and daughter-in-law. Just now, Old Li called me and mentioned his worthless son who doesn’t have the guts to stand up for himself and married a useless woman who completely controls him, forever tarnishing the Li Family’s face. Seeing you now, the reality isn’t as good as the reputation, indeed.
If we go by your logic of seniority, I’m sorry, but Old Li and I are close friends despite our age difference; he and I call each other brothers. So, according to that, you two should actually be calling me ’Uncle Yang.’"
Li Wenjun’s face turned from red to white with rage, feeling like his father might indeed have said such things about him to others.
But being insulted in front of others by a young man not much older than his daughter angered him beyond measure. He furiously said, "You bastard... This country bumpkin, acting all high and mighty; you know who we are and still show no respect. This is simply inexcusable! I’m telling you, if you don’t apologize today and have your sister come and make amends to Young Master Li Xiaoji, don’t bother coming to work at the clinic from tomorrow."
Liu Yan, nodding incessantly, uttered with her sharp and harsh tone, "That’s right, you’re fired. I’d like to see how a country bumpkin like you could survive in Binhai without this job. And as for your sister, if she doesn’t come to apologize, she will be expelled from school too. As a village girl, being expelled would stain her for life, ruining her future forever."
Ning Xiaodong likewise added, "That’s right, Yang Fei. For the sake of your job and your sister’s future prospects, I advise you to call her over right away, have her offer an apology toast to Young Master Li. As long as Young Master Li is happy, all will be forgiven, right?"
Before Yang Fei could respond, Li Wenjun continued, "Yang Fei, I know my father holds you in some regard, so out of consideration for being one family, call your sister over."
Before Yang Fei arrived, they’d learned through their talk with Li Xiaoji that he was genuinely interested in Yang Wen. Moreover, the attitude of this Korean prince was quite clear: he would not rest until he got a woman he fancied into bed.
For the sake of pleasing the young master of the Li Family’s Financial Group, Li Wenjun had no choice but to temporarily coax Yang Fei.
Yang Fei looked at the faces of these three people and couldn’t help feeling a deep sense of sorrow and disgust.
In big cities, there were simply too many of these types of Chinese people.
They say that the righteous are often killed like dogs, while the heartless are often scholars.
Some people, the more they read, the more they think, always striving to maximize interests, constantly claiming to prioritize the greater good.
Over time, they become solely driven by profit.
Just like now, to curry favor with a foreigner, Li Wenjun, Liu Yan, and Ning Xiaodong have all abandoned their integrity. They don’t care if they lose face as descendants of China; all they want is to make Young Master Li happy.
While feeling sorrow in his heart, Yang Fei grew even angrier.
He looked at Li Wenjun and Liu Yan and said coldly, "Don’t you two have daughters too? Why not send them to make Young Master Li happy as well?"
Li Wenjun and his wife Liu Yan were stunned, then became enraged, "You, you bastard!"
Liu Yan, even more nasty and sarcastic, said, "My daughter is precious. How can she compare to your sister?"
Yang Fei knew Li Yaqing and was on reasonably good terms with her. He felt somewhat remorseful after he had blurted out that remark, thinking he shouldn’t have brought Li Yaqing into the argument. But this couple was so vile that words led to words, and he made such a comparison.
Now that Liu Yan had put it that way, his anger deepened, yet he wisely refrained from bringing up Li Yaqing again and instead stared at Liu Yan, saying, "Out of respect for your father-in-law and daughter, I’ll give you one final warning: watch your mouth."
Then he turned to Ning Xiaodong, "Your mother is also a woman. Why not have her come and keep Young Master Li company?"
Ning Xiaodong was furious, "You scoundrel! We politely reminded you, yet you don’t appreciate it and even insult us?"
Yang Fei had long been displeased with Ning Xiaodong and swung his hand, delivering a slap across his face.
Caught off guard, Ning Xiaodong’s face took the blow, his body toppled to the side, and he fell face-first to the ground, blood spilling from the corner of his mouth.
Yang Fei said coldly, "When you talk about my sister, it’s just a kind reminder, but when I mention the women in your families, it’s an insult? Hypocritical dogs!"
After speaking, his gaze deliberately swept over Li Wenjun and his wife Liu Yan.
Seeing that Yang Fei was quick to get physical without a word, and how even the younger Ning Xiaodong was struck and sent flying with a slap, Li Wenjun and his wife Liu Yan were a bit frightened and quickly shrank back to the side, not daring to speak again.
Throughout this whole episode, Li Xiaoji had been sitting in his chair, enjoying the show.
His command of Chinese was very good, and he understood the quarreling among these Chinese people, so he had been watching the commotion with a look of disdain and mockery.
At that moment, seeing Yang Fei intimidate Ning Xiaodong, Li Wenjun, and Liu Yan, he couldn’t help but laugh and clap, looking at Yang Fei, he said, "Hahaha, very entertaining, kid. I’m quite interested in you. Why don’t you come with me? Just send your sister to me, and I guarantee you wealth."
