YM778.TV Chapter 48 Li Cong Tian’s Regret
Bai Chen looked at Li Cong Tian with a cold smile. He crossed his legs.
“What’s wrong with you? I only told you the truth and you’re already having a heart attack?”
Li Cong Tian’s face contorted. He was at loss for words, though, of course, his heart was filled with rage.
His wife was no different. She had not imagined that this young, handsome man, who she had thought was a perfect match for her daughter, would actually be this type of person. He did not even respect her husband.
She understood in an instant that he had only faked being a gentleman in front of her. This young man was showing his true colours now.
“Xi Dong, don’t be ridiculous. Leave our house now. We won’t welcome you here any longer!” she said with a cold voice. Her eyes did not leave Bai Chen in Xi Dong’s body.
“Hey, beautiful auntie, you dare to chase me out? Just think carefully. Do you wanna become an enemy of the Xi family, my clan?” Bai Chen did not even flinch. He smiled and swung his crossed legs contentedly.
“Out!“ Li Cong Tian yelled aggressively. “Even if I have to declare the Xi family my enemy, I do not care and I have no fear!”
“Hahaha!” Bai Chen looked up and let out a roar of laughter; his sneer was filled with intense mockery.
“Well, well, well, Cong Tian. In my eyes, you’re just a tiny little ant, and you still have the guts to declare yourself an enemy of the Xi family—one of the top five families in Beijing?!?”
“Xi Dong!”
Li Cong Tian’s wife could tolerate it no longer. She wanted to rush in to slap his face but chose to control her emotions.
“If you don’t leave now, don’t blame us for being ill-mannered!”
“Beautiful auntie, shut your mouth!” Bai Chen said nonchalantly. “But if you want me to leave, you must agree to one condition of mine.”
Li Cong Tian tried to suppress his anger. His fists were clenched tight. He spoke through gritted teeth. “And what is that?”
The reason that made Li Cong Tian this tolerant was not that he was afraid of Xi Dong or the Xi family.
It was actually because if he turned into an enemy of the Xi family, he would have to drag his sworn brother into this. Of course, that was not something that he really wanted to happen, which was why Li Cong Tian had to tolerate Xi Dong\'s arrogance the best he could.
His wife went quiet, although her eyes clearly indicated that she was also very angry.
“What condition? Say it right now!” she said in a cold voice.
“Hehe.” Bai Chen grinned widely. “Where is my beloved Li Lin? I want her to sleep with me tonight.”
“You…!”
The husband and wife shouted almost at the same time. Their hearts were on the verge of exploding with rage.
Now, the two of them were regretting the thought of arranging the betrothal and marriage of their daughter to this Xi Dong, who had turned out to be a very vile man.
Thinking of Li Lin, Li Cong Tian’s heart ached. He did not even know where his daughter had gone, even though he had sent his men out to track her down.
This made him restless, though he could not do anything but sit around and wait.
Li Cong Tian had not imagined that while waiting for news of his daughter, this bastard Xi Dong would invite himself in to create a disturbance in his home. He even went so far as asking Li Cong Tian’s daughter to sleep with him!
“What?” Bai Chen smiled, not caring about Li Cong Tian and his wife’s angry faces.
He had chosen to go down this path and he was determined to go all the way until Xi Dong could not set foot in Li Lin’s house anymore!
“I’ll give you one hour. Deliver her to me. Otherwise, I’ll remove the Li family from Xing Zhou City once and for all!”
Li Cong Tian did not say anything, and neither did his wife. Both of them had surpassed the boiling point and could only stand there, shaking with their own rage.
Bai Chen got off of the sofa, turned around, and prepared to leave. But before he did that, he did not forget to leave some parting words.
“Oh, right, you know where I live right?”
He did not get any response, though.
In the end, Bai Chen walked out from the living room of the villa. He thought he had put on quite a show, even though it had gone a little bit too far.
He did not have a choice, though. If he hadn’t done it, Li Lin, the girl he fancied, would have to get engaged to Xi Dong.
After the fake Xi Dong, or Bai Chen in disguise, had walked out, Li Cong Tian sank onto the sofa. His face was twisted with rage.
His wife took a seat as well. Her expression was not very different.
“Will little Lin ever forgive us?” the lady said in a soft voice. She was also trying to suppress her anger towards Xi Dong.
Li Cong Tian put on a bitter smile. “I don’t know. But one thing I know for sure is I have failed as a father. I never thought that I would be the one who picked that abhorrent Xi Dong as little Lin’s fiancé.”
“What do we do now, my love?”
“I’ll give Brother Huang a call. Although I don’t want to drag him into this, our Li family won’t be able to compete as an enemy of the Xi family,” Li Cong Tian said with a sigh.
If he had known beforehand that Xi Dong was this kind of man, he would have never said yes to the Xi family’s offer of an engagement. This had actually brought him bigger problems.
“That’s a good idea. Brother Huang will definitely help us.” Li Cong Tian’s wife nodded. Her name was Li Yu, née Huang. Li Cong Tian’s sworn brother was her older brother.
“I never thought that Xi Dong would be this kind of person. He’s truly insufferable for fooling us!” she said, biting her lip.
“This bastard made me realise how people cannot be judged based on looks and family background.” Li Cong Tian sighed with regret.
“If little Lin ever returns to us, I’ll make sure she marries the person she chooses for herself. I won’t force her ever again.”
“That’s indeed what we should do.” Li Yu nodded in strong agreement. “We have to apologise to her. No matter who she chooses to marry, rich or poor, we will not interfere with her choice.”
“Mm-hmm!” Li Cong Tian nodded in agreement without hesitation.
