Chapter 1403: Chasing Someone Away

Li Shaohui laughed out loud as if it was very amusing. Do you think that the Pei Family and our family have an amicable relationship?

With one sentence, Mr. Yu was rendered speechless. It was true. Since Pei Ziheng and Li Leis generation, the families had been fighting for ten to twenty years. They would never be peaceful! Mr. Yu was almost close to tears. He had never dealt with such a difficult situation before.

Luckily, Li Shaohui was not an unreasonable person. He smiled again. Mr. Yu, I dont want to make things difficult for you. Just dont interfere with whats going to happen next. After that, he lightly clapped his hands and two suited bodyguards wearing leather shoes emerged from the shadows and walked towards the Pei Familys table.

What are you trying to do?! Pei Yan frantically yelled.

Drag her out, Li Shaohui said lazily like he was inviting her to drink tea.

After receiving the order, the bodyguards grabbed Pei Yans limbs, ignoring her struggles and a few young men from the Pei Family. Pei Yans silver-white cheongsam was torn and she looked miserable.

She screamed. Let go of me! Let go of me!

Pei Chengyou grabbed one of the bodyguards tightly. Let my sister go!

He had learned self-defense before and originally thought that blocking this bodyguard would not be a problem. Unexpectedly, the other party shook his arm gently and was able to get rid of him effortlessly. Im sorry, mister. We are only acting on orders, the bodyguards said expressionlessly.

Pei Yan was shocked and scared. She could not help but scream. Brother, save me!

Pei Chengyou was furious. These people were so arrogant in front of him. Did they dare to hit his face too? He turned around and glared at Li Shaohui fiercely. If you dont tell them to let her go, dont blame me for being unkind.

I actually want to see how unkind you will be. Li Shaohui smiled innocently and clapped his hands again.

This time, four bodyguards in suits and leather shoes emerged from the dark and lined up behind the Pei Familys table. They looked emotionlessly as they monitored their every action. Li Shaohui lazily said, My father is good to us in every way, and he just dotes on us too much. This time, the bodyguards he sent to protect us have been war-trained and have seen more blood than the water you drink. Pei Chengyou, if you dont believe me, you can test them yourself.

Pei Chengyous face turned pale. He did not need to test them to know from that bodyguard who shook his hand away that he had reached a roadblock.

Li Shaohui continued to smile without a care. On the other hand, Pei Yan had already been dragged a long distance away and her screams were now muffled. Only marks on the ground could be seen.

At the Pei Familys table, the eldest Pei Chengyu slowly stood up.

He did not attack Li Shaohui because he knew it would be futile. He turned around and said to the host of the banquet, Mr. Yu, since you condoned the arrogance of the Li Family, there is no point in the Pei Family staying. Remember what you have done today. Lets go.

His last words were directed to the Pei Family.

Even though they were humiliated, the remaining members of the Pei Family quietly stood up and left the table together looking cold and proud. Even Pei Chengyou did not dare to talk back to his cousin.

Young Master Pei, calm down and listen to my explanation Mr. Yu was in a difficult position. He did not want to offend the Li Family, yet he wanted to care about others. However, if the Pei Family really sought revenge in the future, he was unable to bear the consequences!

He ran after the Pei Family and personally saw them out. On the way out, the Pei Familys faces were dark and they all looked sullen.

The seated guests on both sides of the elegant canal were silent. The departure of the Pei Family left a layer of frost in the air. An originally happy banquet turned into a depressing event and people did not even dare to breathe loudly.

Li Shaohui was the first to laugh. Why arent all of you talking? Have I scared everyone?

No way. Immediately, someone hurriedly said. Young Master Lis decisiveness to kill is really commendable. I really envy Mr. Li for having an heir like you. We arent scared at all.

Not scared at all? Li Shaohui laughed like a child, a far cry from the power he commanded just now. Lets continue playing the game, then.

Ok. Lets play the game! Many people said with amusement.

The small curvy jug was in Xia Yingluos hands. This time, Xia Yingluo smiled and said, Since Pei Yan is gone, I will skip my turn and pass the jug to the next person. No one minds, right?

Who dared to have an opinion?

They did not want to be invited out like Pei Yan!

Xia Yingluo gently sent out her small jug. The jug flowed along the canal, past the quiet winding bends and stopped at a seat not far away. A long bony hand lifted the small jug.

The scene was quiet again except for low breaths.

They saw a man wearing an elegant and plain blue shirt. His long figure resembled a spirit in a bamboo forest and his eyes were as indifferent as an ice lake as they watched Xia Yingluo quietly.

Wei Lingnan Someone explained.

Wei Lingnan was here! The guests were not stupid and all heard about the commotion between Wei Lingnan and Xia Yingluo. Many people were curious about their relationship. He actually came to this large banquet and took Xia Yingluos jug!

Why is it you again? Xia Yingluo unhappily remarked.

Wei Lingnan lowered his head. I received an invitation. Im sorry that I didnt tell you in advance.

He used honorifics and everyone was shocked again. He was a dignified person who developed new medicine that sent shockwaves in the world. He had so many businesses and peoples lives in his hands, but he was being so respectful towards a little girl!

The more shocking thing was that Xia Yingluo seemed to think it was normal and there was not a shred of discomfort on her face.

I only wanted to see you more. Wei Lingnan lifted the jug. Arent you going to give me a question?

Xia Yingluo squinted her eyes for a long time. Suddenly, she laughed. A question? I dont want to hear the Truth from you. Wei Lingnan, how about a dare? Go over there. She pointed at an extremely far place. Buy an ice cream for me. It cant be chocolate, vanilla or matcha or any flavor that can be bought in this city. Understand?

This dare contradicted itself and made things difficult for him.

It had to be bought from a store in this city but could not be a flavor sold in this city?

Everyone could tell that she was just trying to chase Wei Lingnan away.
