Chapter 110 Arrogant and Overbearing

The manager of the hotpot restaurant noticed something was off and hurried over to intervene. However, before he could reach the scene, he was met with a horrifying sight—

Chu Yuxuan was holding Ye Tianyi's head down firmly, and the young master of the Ye family had been completely caught off guard. By the time he realized what was happening, his face was already dangling over the pot. Fortunately, it was a small pot, and Ye Tianyi's face was large, so his forehead and chin rested on the pot's edge, preventing his head from fully submerging. Nonetheless, the boiling soup caused scalding hot steam to rise, and within moments, the previously arrogant young master was screaming in agony as if he were being slaughtered like a pig.

"Ah!!!"

The three friends who had come with Ye Tianyi were frozen in shock. Although they were no strangers to fights, they usually relied on their family backgrounds to intimidate others and had never encountered resistance like this. They rarely experienced the sensation of a racing heartbeat.

Moreover, Chu Yuxuan's actions had gone beyond mere fighting; he was truly ruthless!

In the underworld, there are rules: a punch, a kick, or even a knife would usually avoid critical areas. Never had they seen someone force a head directly into a pot. Even gang conflicts didn't typically involve such brutal attacks!

In front of everyone, daring to be so ruthless—was this illegitimate son of the Chu family insane? Even with a powerful background, wasn't he afraid of going home to face his father's wrath?

The three second-generation rich kids lacked the courage for such acts. To them, while they could be fearless outside, they absolutely couldn't let their deeds reach their father's ears. Otherwise, they would face severe punishment. Being denied credit card usage was trivial compared to the wrath of a father who felt ashamed and betrayed by his child. They would be lucky not to have their skin peeled off!

Zhao Yanan was also horrified. After a moment of stunned silence, she reacted and hurriedly advised Chu Yuxuan, "Yuxuan, calm down and stop this!"

Chu Yuxuan, with a devilish grin and a mischievous demeanor, pressed Ye Tianyi's head down for a few more seconds before finally pulling him up.

In just a short while, Ye Tianyi's entire face looked as though it had been steamed. It was so red it seemed like it could bleed, with a bead of sweat hanging from his nose and a noticeable blister forming. His eyes were tightly shut from the pain, making his face look grotesque and sending chills down one's spine.

"Listen up, you brat," Chu Yuxuan said, "Zhao Yanan is my wife. If you dare to harass her again, I'll kill you!"

As he spoke, Chu Yuxuan cast a sideways glance at the onlookers who were recording with their phones. He didn't hold back and, still seething with anger, threw Ye Tianyi to the ground. He then kicked him several times in the groin, cursing, "Who do you think you are? Acting all high and mighty? I'll show you! You think your father is something? If he were here today, I'd beat him up too!"

"Yuxuan, enough!" Zhao Yanan, trembling with fear, walked over to Chu Yuxuan's side, gripping his arm tightly. "Stop it. I... I want to go home!"

Chu Yuxuan turned to look at her, his eyes softening. He said, "Alright, let's go home."

Zhao Yanan sighed in relief and went to get her bag.

Ye Tianyi rolled on the ground in pain, holding his face and groin, his body curled up in a fetal position, clearly in excruciating pain.

This young master had heard from friends abroad that Zhao Yanan married into the Chu family, and even to an illegitimate son. He was enraged by Zhao Yanan's refusal of his advances despite his persistent pursuit. He felt humiliated that a prominent young master of the Ye family was inferior to an illegitimate child of the Chu family.

It was a twist of fate. Four years ago, when his pursuit failed, he had intended to use force against Zhao Yanan. However, an accident occurred, and he was sent abroad by his father... Oh, otherwise, he might have already grown tired of that beautiful woman by now.

As the saying goes, the more you can't get something, the more you want it. After returning to the country last night, he was further provoked by his seductive stepmother, which led to today's incident.

He never expected that this illegitimate son of the Chu family would be even more arrogant than he was!

The three friends stood by, and only after Chu Yuxuan and Zhao Yanan left did they crouch down to help Ye Tianyi.

Chu Yuxuan went to the front desk and took out the only ten thousand yuan in cash from his wallet, tossing it over. He said nonchalantly, "Here's for the meal and compensation. If it's not enough, I'll transfer more later."

The young woman at the front desk, seeing the extremely arrogant young master, nodded repeatedly. "It's enough, enough!"

On the way home, Chu Yuxuan drove while sending a WeChat message to his fourth brother: "Come to my place."

Just as he put away his phone, Zhao Yanan said, "Chu Yuxuan, can you please avoid hitting people casually in the future? And... and don't be so rough! What if it was a big pot today? Did you think about the consequences?"

Chu Yuxuan smirked, "I assessed the situation. His face was too big to fit in... I was just scaring him."

"Change your temper," Zhao Yanan said coolly, pausing before adding, "Be a decent person."

Chu Yuxuan lazily replied, "Should I praise him for hitting on my wife in front of me?"

"You could call the police," Zhao Yanan suggested rationally. "But you shouldn't take action yourself, or he might report you, and you'd be held responsible."

"True, haha..." Chu Yuxuan said helplessly. "Some rules are really hard to understand. For example, if a bad person bullies my woman, my parents, or my child in front of me, I'm supposed to stay calm and call the police without retaliating. If I fight back, it's considered mutual assault. Isn't that ridiculous?"

Zhao Yanan opened her lips but was at a loss for words.

On this point, she seemed to agree more with Chu Yuxuan's prejudice, but some things were too complicated to comment on freely. After a moment of silence, Zhao Yanan said abruptly, "Chu Yuxuan, thank you."

"Hmm?"

Zhao Yanan looked a bit embarrassed. "Thank you for protecting me today and for offending the Ye family on my behalf." Chu Yuxuan chuckled, "It's even now."

Zhao Yanan was puzzled but soon remembered the slap she gave Xia Zhu earlier.

At that time, she had acted out of necessity, not for Chu Yuxuan, so the term "even" felt forced, though she did feel indebted.

"Be careful lately. The Ye family isn't like the Gao family; they won't just take a beating without retaliating. I've heard that Ye Yongsheng and Uncle Zhiqing have always been in a covert struggle. Their influence in Jiangcheng's business world is equal. Now that you've stirred things up, the Ye family will definitely cause trouble," Zhao Yanan warned with concern.

Chu Yuxuan appeared indifferent. "I'm not afraid. Worst case, I'll just rage for a beauty."

Zhao Yanan frowned. "I'm not joking, Chu Yuxuan. Ye Tianyi is no good. He used to have frequent dealings with underworld figures. Do you know what ridiculous thing he did four years ago?"

Chu Yuxuan asked curiously, "What?"

Zhao Yanan said, "Four years ago, he got drunk, caused a scene on the street, and even threatened someone with a gun, forcing them to kneel."

"Oh? So arrogant?"

"Mm." Zhao Yanan hesitated for a moment and then said, "Do you know who he made kneel?"

"Who?"

"Chu Haoran."

"Really?" Chu Yuxuan was surprised. "Did Chu Haoran kneel?"

"Could he not?" Zhao Yanan said. "However, the Ye family paid a heavy price to calm your grandfather's anger. It's said that Ye Yongsheng was afraid that Chu Haoran would cause trouble for his son, so he sent Ye Tianyi abroad overnight."

Chu Yuxuan pondered and mumbled, "Interesting... haha!"
