Chapter 30 - Kick Him Out! (2/2)
Suddenly, another voice came out from behind him.
“Although I am not sure if anyone invited him, I had seen this boy just a few weeks ago, and he was working at a bar as a Fruit Boy.”
The crowd looked toward the speaker, and they saw a gorgeous girl wearing a painted face and a dazzling dress.
“How could a young master of the Fang Sheng International Group be friends with a Fruit Boy?”
The crowd boiled over as soon as the girl finished her words.
Most people had thought that Chen Fan was just a foolish boy got caught for sneaking into somewhere he didn’t belong, but no one had expected that there was so much more than what met the eyes.
“The owner of the Fang Sheng International Group and his son were both influential people in the city; they would never waste their time befriending a laborer, much less inviting him to their event.”
“His claims are so blown out of proportion that even a blind man would know he was lying.”
“What a shame that Xu Rongfei would fall for someone like him.”
By then, everyone looked at Chen Fan with contempt and disdain.
If Chen Fan would have admitted that he had snuck into the event just to see his lover, people might have more sympathy for him. However, his poor lies had made people question his integrity, and by then, no one was on his side.
Chen Fan didn’t mind the accusations, but he looked at the girl who spoke up.
“That is Lou Xiaoxiao… So the person who is behind all of this should be…” Chen Fan calculated his situation in his mind.
Manager Zhu asked the girl in a serious tone, “Young lady, are you telling me the truth?”
“I can vouch for her. ” Another voice spoke up.
The speaker managed to give Jiang Churan an apologetic smile before he continued, “I had met Mr. Chen in the bar where he worked. But who knows, maybe he has some connection that we are not aware of. I suggest Mr. Zhu check the guest book just in case. But yes, the young lady told the truth.” Li Yinchen said.
“The person behind all of this is Li Yichen!” Realization finally dawned upon Chen Fan.
Jiang Churan furrowed her brows as she wondered if Chen Fan had —unbeknown to her—offended Li Yichen. However, Jiang Churan conceded that Li Yichen didn’t need a “casus belli” in this case since it was Chen Fan that had lied from the beginning.
She looked at Chen Fan and then heaved a sigh of resignation.
“Is this all you got? You sounded so ambitious while we last spoke at the bar, but it seemed that was just empty talk. I was right about you after all.” Jiang Churan was very disappointed with Chen Fan.
“Since Young Master Li had put it this way, I don’t think there is any need to check the guest book any longer.” Manager Zhu smiled at Li Yicheng.
Li Yichen was the most influential young man in the city. If he had vouched for the girl, Manager Zhu was in no place to doubt him.
General Zhu didn’t even turn around to look at Chen Fan when he gave the order:
“Security! Remove this young man out of this establishment.
“How dare you sneak into our private property, you will regret this!”
Everyone finally started to feel a shred of sympathy for the young boy.
Even if someone wanted to speak up for him, they would have to deal with the combined wrath of Chu Minhui, Li Yichen, and the Fang Sheng International Group. And that would make even the most powerful man in the room think twice of their actions.
Although Chang Wen had kept her silence, her face lit up with satisfaction.
Lou Xiaoxiao snorted lightly as he looked at Xu Rongfei who was already on the verge of breaking down into tears.
Si Yinxia shook his head; he knew that no one would be able to save Chen Fan tonight.
Li Yichen didn’t event grace Chen Fan with a glance. He looked away and took a sip of the red wine from his gla.s.s.
It was a simple if not lazy move from him, and it was enough to destroy Chen Fan’s life once and for all.
All the friends of Xu Rongfei, such as Zhang Yumeng and Han Yun shook their heads in dismay. They thought maybe this was for the best, the relations.h.i.+p between Xu Rongfei and the new-boy would never lead to anywhere anyways.
Xu Rongfei was the only person who pleaded with Manager Zhu to not to kick Chen Fan out. However, her effort yielded no result; Manager Zhu turned on the radio and called for the security.
Chu Minhui stood proudly and sneered at Chen Fan: “Hey, kiddo, I told you so!”
You have messed with the wrong guy, man! I told you I would get you kicked out of here! What can you do now, huh? Are you gonna cry?”
Someone shouted behind Chu Minhui, “Kick him out!”
Chen Fan stood still and didn’t move. No one knew what he was thinking at this critical moment.
However, even as Chu Minhui, Ji Xingyu, and Lou Xiaoxiao were convinced that they had avenged their defeat, they then heard an icy voice rise behind the crowd:
“Don’t touch him!”
