Seeing that Ye Qingran didn’t move, the smile on Du Yan’s face showed malicious provocation. “What, are you afraid?”
There were a few grinning boys standing behind him. They deliberately jeered, “Fourth Young Master Ye, why are you afraid of him? Let’s go, Let’s make him lose his pants.”
It was very obvious that they were in cahoots.
In Ye Qingran’s memory, Du Yan had invited the original character to play cards, but the original character had never won a single time.
He was always beaten.
Later on, when the original character didn’t want to play cards, Du Yan used this trick to find a few buddies to agitate and flatter him. They made the original character embarrassed and forced to sit at the card table again.
In the end, he lost money, and he even lost face.
He played the original character like a monkey.
Actually, it wasn’t just Du Yan. Most people in this social circle were just obeying the original character on the surface but playing him for a fool behind his back.
They were good brothers on the surface.
They were waiting to watch him make of fool of himself behind the scenes.
Liu Renwei, who was probably thick-skinned, was sincerely treating the original character as a friend.
Ye Qingran stood up. “Alright, let’s play a few rounds then.”
After she bought Liu Renwei a gift, she didn’t have much money left.
Sitting was boring anyway.
She might as well go win some living expenses.
After Ye Qingran sat down, a few people waiting to watch her make of fool of herself surrounded her.
However, they didn’t expect that Ye Qingran wouldn’t lose a single round today. Even though the other three colluded together, she still won by a landslide.
More and more people surrounded her, and Ye Qingran won another round.
One of them lost so badly that he exploded. He immediately stopped coming. “I’m not playing anymore. I’m not playing anymore. You guys go ahead and play.”
He was originally dragged here by Du Yan.
He thought that if he worked together with Du Yan, he would be able to win a huge sum today.
He didn’t expect that he would lose all his chips.
Du Yan’s expression was also extremely ugly. He looked at his own chips and realized that he didn’t have much left. If he lost again, he would lose all his chips.
However, he wasn’t willing to give up.
At this moment, there was a small commotion in the banquet hall.
Ye Qingran and everyone else looked towards the entrance.
Dongfang Yu was dressed in a British-sty;e outfit. He looked noble and handsome as he walked towards the entrance with Mu Qingxue in his arm.
Mu Qingxue was dressed in a white one-piece dress. Her face had delicate light makeup on. Her delicate and adorable appearance made her appear like a snow blossom that bloomed during midnight. Even though she didn’t look as pretty as other women, she was still able to look down on the rest of the ladies, and this made the surrounding beautiful women pale in comparison to her.
The appearance of the main character was always the most eye-catching.
Everyone’s attention was on these two people.
“Dongfang Yu looks especially elegant and gentle tonight. I’m willing to exchange ten pounds of flesh for him to smile at me.”
“That woman seems to be called Mu Qingxue. She has an outstanding temperament and looks very pleasing to the eye.”
“I wonder if she goes to the same school as Dongfang Yu.”
..
Du Yan glanced at Ye Qingran and thought of the rumors. A scheme flashed through his mind.
He said indignantly, “Ye Qingran, isn’t Mu Qingxue the woman you like? Why is she with Dongfang Yu? This Dongfang Yu doesn’t give you any face. How can he steal your woman and be so intimate with her?”
Ye Qingran looked at Du Yan and asked coldly, “Are you still going to play? If not, I’m leaving.”
“I’m still going to play, but there’s one less person now.” Du Yan stood up and raised his hand towards Dongfang Yu, “Young Master Yu, do you want to come over and play a few rounds?”
Dongfang Yu looked at Du Yan.
He also saw that Ye Qingran was beside him.
His expression instantly darkened.
Du Yan had a confused look on his face. He even smiled and said, “Fourth Young Master Ye is also here. He hopes he can play a few rounds with you.”
“Not interested.”
Dongfang Yu’s face was cold. After saying these words, he brought Mu Qingxue to the other side, far away from Ye Qingran’s side.
A trace of pride flashed across Du Yan’s eyes.
Then, he said to Ye Qingran with a shocked expression, “Damn, what’s going on? This Dongfang Yu is really not giving you face.”
Ye Qingran: “…”
She thought that only the harems would be calculating and scheming.
She didn’t expect that this group of boys would also play such petty and catty tricks.
Ye Qingran looked at him and said in a cold voice, “If you can’t afford it, just say it.”
Du Yan was stunned for a moment.
He said angrily, “Who do you think can’t afford it? I was also doing it for your own good just now. I was defending you against injustice, but you actually turned around and blamed me. You really don’t know what’s good for you.”
“Help me? Did I let you shout? Did I let you invite me? What right does someone like you have to represent me?”
Ye Qingran’s indifferent tone carried the aura of someone in a higher position.
Du Yan was so embarrassed that he became angry. He couldn’t help but scold, “Ye Qingran, who do you think you are? Do you really think you are that great? Don’t you see that the people in this social circle don’t like you? They look at you like a monkey.”
Ye Qingran’s expression was still as calm as ever.
She asked in return, “You don’t want to talk to me, but you invited me to play cards. Why? Do you want to win my money? Your Du family is so down in the dumps that you can forsake your pride and dignity for the sake of charity money?”
Du Yan was now completely furious.
He didn’t even care about his image anymore. With his neck twisted, he pointed at Ye Qingran’s nos, and cursed, “Idiot, dimwit. Do you think that everyone doesn’t know that you have already been chased out of the Ye family, yet you still dare to be so arrogant here? I gave you some face, but you’re actually so greedy.”
Ye Qingran leaned back and warned, “I’ll give you three seconds to take your hand away.”
“Even if I don’t take it away, what can you do…”
As Du Yan spoke, his finger was about to poke Ye Qingran’s nose.
Ye Qingran didn’t wait for him to finish speaking. Suddenly, she grabbed his wrist and pulled him forcefully to the side. She directly pulled Du Yan down from the chair and slammed him onto the ground.
Du Yan’s chin and nose slammed into the ground.
The intense pain made him scream. “Ahhhhh… my face, my nose!”
The banquet hall was still a little noisy.
However, the chess room area was instantly silent.
Ye Qingran was still sitting on the chair. She raised her foot and stomped heavily on Du Yan’s back. Then, she pressed her body down hard.
She didn’t like to take advantage of the moment, and preferred to settle the score later.
But this was the first time she had interacted with this group of rich playboys.
The original character was too easy to bully in the past.
If she didn’t teach these people a lesson today, they would continue to harass her in the future.
She didn’t like trouble.
She could only press Du Yan, who was the first to provoke her, onto the ground and rub his small face against the group.
It would also serve as a kind reminder to the others.
If they wanted to cause trouble for her, Ye Qingran, they would have to pay a painful price!
Du Yan was extremely angry and shouted, “Ye Qingran, how dare you treat me like this…”
Ye Qingran stepped on his back and spun in circles.
Du Yan screamed again, “Ah! !”
The people beside him were all shocked. Someone quickly tried to mediate the situation. “Fourth Young Master Ye, Fourth Young Master Ye, calm down. There are so many people watching. If you have something to say, just say it.”
Another person said, “Today is Young Master Wei’s birthday. You guys are so close. Just take it as giving Young Master Wei Face. Don’t ruin his reputation.”
Ye Qingran ignored them and only looked at Du Yan, who was under her feet. “Did I give you face?”
