"Chen Jie, as long as you're my boyfriend, I'll be your lapdog. Please give me a chance!"
No!
Zhou Wei's heart felt as if it had been pierced by needles.
Bang!
Chen Jie unceremoniously kicked Yin Manman aside.
"Scram!" Chen Jie roared.
Chen Jie's reaction undoubtedly dealt another heavy blow to Zhou Wei's heart.
What made it even harder to accept was that even after being kicked by Chen Jie, Yin Manman was still not giving up. Instead, she smiled shamelessly, "Chen Jie, you look so handsome when you kick me! Please, be my boyfriend! I beg you! If you agree, I'll do anything for you!"
Chen Jie sneered, "You'll really do anything?"
"Yes, yes! Anything!" Yin Manman felt an opportunity had arrived and quickly said excitedly.
Chen Jie suddenly pointed at the pile of excrement Yin Manman had thrown aside, "Then fine, if you eat that thing, I'll agree to you!"
Yin Manman's face stiffened.
Zhou Wei gritted his teeth and tugged at her hand resentfully, "Manman, let's go! He's toying with you! He'll never be your boyfriend!"
Slap!
Yin Manman slapped him directly and shouted, "Get lost! Don't try to stop me from pursuing my idol!"
Zhou Wei covered his face, his heart bleeding, "Are you crazy? You know he's toying with you..."
"Then why is he only toying with me and not others? Isn't it because I'm special in his heart?" Yin Manman said matter-of-factly.
Chen Jie sneered.
How could he possibly fancy Yin Manman?
"I'll eat it, I'll eat it! As long as you agree to be my boyfriend, I'll do what I say, I'll eat it now..."
Without a word, Yin Manman opened the plastic bag and began to eat.
Jiang Xue couldn't help but turn her face away, her mouth twitching.
The North and South Elders almost vomited.
Ah-woo...
After finishing the last bite, Yin Manman looked at Chen Jie hopefully, "I did as you said, can you be my boyfriend now?"
Chen Jie said playfully, "Who says you're finished? There's still residue!"
Yin Manman's face stiffened, "But that residue, it's impossible to finish! No matter how much I eat, I can't eat it all clean!"
Chen Jie nodded in agreement, "Yes! You can never eat it clean. Even if you swallow the entire plastic bag, there will still be a lingering smell in the air. Therefore, I will never be your boyfriend. Do you understand now?"
"Bastard! You tricked me!"
Yin Manman's eyes turned red.
"Yes, I was toying with you!" Chen Jie admitted generously.
"You piece of trash! I pursued you out of respect for you, and you dared to trick me, I..." Yin Manman finally came to her senses as she smelled the stench in her mouth.
Chen Jie said rudely, "What do you want? Do you want to suffocate me with your stinky mouth that spews filth? You can try."
Yin Manman was stunned. She suddenly remembered that when she saw Chen Jie three days ago, she had also described him this way.
I'm so angry!
Yin Manman was enraged, but seeing the portraits of Zhou Tongtong and her mother hanging on the gatehouse, she dismissed the idea of losing her temper.
"You just took care of the Zhou family, what's so great about that? Now you've transferred the Zhou family's assets to someone else and become useless again yourself. What right do you have to look down on me? To me, you're just trash, and it's your honor that I fancied you!" Yin Manman said fiercely.
Chen Jie scoffed, "I just look down on you, a piece of trash who eats shit!"
"You, you just wait! I'm not done with you!"
Yin Manman felt utterly humiliated. She turned to see that Zhou Wei had already turned and left.
She exclaimed, "Brother Wei, don't go! Wait for me!"
If things with Chen Jie were a dead end, she couldn't afford to lose Zhou Wei. Zhou Renyi wouldn't have left him without some wealth!
"You idiot, get lost! Go find your Chen Jie!" Zhou Wei cursed from outside the door.
Yin Manman quickly explained, "Brother Wei, why are you so foolish? I did that just now for your own good! I know you want revenge, so I was trying to get close to Chen Jie to be your mole!"
"Really?" Zhou Wei asked suspiciously.
"Of course it's true. Brother Wei, you don't actually want revenge, do you? Your entire family was wiped out because of Chen Jie. If you still don't want revenge, then I truly look down on you."
Zhou Wei sneered, "How could I not want revenge? I wish I could skin him and tear his flesh apart right now! I will never let him off easily!"
"Then, Brother Wei, let's make a proper plan!" Yin Manman said quickly.
Having been publicly humiliated by Chen Jie, her hatred for him was no less than Zhou Wei's.
"Ugh... Wash your mouth before you talk to me! Damn it! Don't face me."
...
"Young Master Chen!" The North and South Elders approached Chen Jie, their mouths parting as if to say something grateful, but finding it difficult to articulate.
"Something wrong?" Chen Jie asked, looking confused.
The North and South Elders gave bitter smiles. They had intended to save Chen Jie's life earlier, but had almost implicated him instead, and now Chen Jie had saved them.
Standing before Chen Jie now, they felt uneasy all over.
"Regarding your marriage to Miss Wang, allow us to say a word. You have now become an ordinary person..."
Before the North and South Elders could finish, Chen Jie interrupted them.
"I am very grateful that Wang Xiaoyan sent you to rescue me. Please go back and tell Wang Xiaoyan that if she is unwilling to fulfill the engagement, I will not force her. As for the agreement between the Wang family and my master, let it be considered a joke," Chen Jie said lightly.
He truly didn't care about the Wang family's wealth.
If Wang Xiaoyan had ignored his plight, he would have forced the Wang family to honor the agreement.
However, he was very satisfied with Wang Xiaoyan's attitude now, so he didn't intend to make things difficult for her.
The North and South Elders looked at Chen Jie with admiration. Such generosity and magnanimity were beyond ordinary people. They now felt that Chen Jie was the only suitable candidate to be Wang Xiaoyan's fiancé.
"Young Master Chen, we will report today's events truthfully to Miss Wang. We believe that if you can regain your strength, the Wang family will surely not refuse you as Miss Wang's fiancé!"
After saying this, the North and South Elders left.
Chen Jie looked at Jiang Xue and said, "Jiang Xue, let's go."
Jiang Xue nodded distractedly. She had thought she would be happy to inherit the Zhou family's assets, but thinking of her father's death, she couldn't feel any joy.
...
The Zhou family's elimination from Pingcheng in a single day caused a great sensation in the city.
The name Chen Jie also appeared in many people's ears.
At the Wang family, Wang Xiaoyan exclaimed, "That Chen Jie actually dealt with the Zhou family?"
She asked this merely as a formality.
She knew the North and South Elders would not lie to her.
In that case, regardless of their relationship with Chen Jie, their Wang family truly owed him a debt of gratitude.
After all, the Zhou family had always been on par with the Wang family, competing with each other. With the Zhou family gone, the Wang family had one less obstacle.
"Miss, Chen Jie paid an unimaginable price for this! He went from being a martial arts master to an ordinary person! He has lost all his former strength!" the North and South Elders said mournfully.
"Announce it to the public, Chen Jie is my Wang Xiaoyan's fiancé!" Wang Xiaoyan said calmly.
