62 Bullshi (1/2)

”How dare you!” the guard yelled, taking a step forward, his hand poised to draw his sword out.

Helian Xuan stopped him with a wave of his hand. The guard retreated warily.

He could tell that the reason Li Yao was this bold was because he knew that he wouldn't be able to persuade his little brother to let him go.

Helian Xuan had a smirk on his face as he said, ”You better do as I say, or you'll find may people harmed. Maybe this restaurant? Or the hotel you live at? Li Yao, I'm paying you generously to just leave. Don't wait until I stop being magnanimous.”

Ye Jiayao gasped. This cruel ass!

”Duke Helian, aren't you here for the birthday celebration? I already said I won't do it, and Young Royal Highness Jing has also given up the thought. I really don't get why you're going to these lengths just for something so small?

Helian Xuan's eyes thinned. ”If Little Jing can do this for you today, he can do more tomorrow. I won't allow someone with a bad influence to dig his claws deeper into my brother.”

What the actual f*ck? What kind of bullshit was this? How was she being a bad influence on Little Jing?

Ye Jiayao's annoyance got the best of her and she spoke, ”Duke Helian, I am not being a bad influence on Young Royal Highness Jing. Yes, I am of low status and I have no right to be friends with him, but I didn't ask for this. Young Royal Highness Jing only wants to help me because I gave him help when he needed it the most. How is that being a bad influence? I'm just a poor kid but I don't steal. I am an honest person. How is that being a bad influence? F*ck! What more do you need? Just because you have money and power doesn't mean that you just get to insult people like that!”

Helian Xuan was speechless. No one except his dad has ever dared to swear in front of him.

”And here I thought good people get good fortune! All I did was help him! If you harm the hotel or the restaurant, I will spread the news of how people in the Helian Mansion use their power to oppress normal citizens,” Ye Jiayao threatened. ”Oh, and if you want to kill me, you should ask Duke Jing An's son if he'd allow it.”

Content that she had said her piece, Ye Jiayao walked out of the room, slamming the door.

The guard said in fury, ”Duke, I will go kill that kid now.”

Helian Xuan stopped him.

Li Yao was on a roll and he wasn't able to react. So the person who saved Little Jing was Li Yao? But what has this got to do with Xia Chunyu? Was he protecting him?

Where did this arrogant kid come from?

F*ck! This was the first time he was sworn at and had the door slammed in front of him. He would clear the things Li Yao said, then, he would make the little chef pay for disrespecting him.

”Let's go to Duke Jing An's mansion.” Helian Xuan stormed off.

Ye Jiayao was so overcome with anger earlier that she didn't think before she blew up in front of Duke Helian. Now that all she has said came back to her, she started to feel scared. If he really wanted to kill her, it could be done within a matter of minutes. However, she mentioned Xia Chunyu. Duke Helian must have some concerns, right? Even Little Jing addressed that Dumb Donkey respectfully. Surely, these two families were quite close?

Manager Li walked over to the kitchen and asked worriedly, ”Li Yao, what happened? Why did Duke Helian storm off?”

Ye Jiayao answered, ”Nothing. He and his brother had a fight so he wasn't in a good mood. I can't really help.”

Manager Li was confused, but nevertheless, he believed Li Yao.

Xia Chunyu heard that Helian Xuan was outside the mansion and quickly told Song Qi to invite him in.

”Why are you here?” Xia Chunyu asked before ordering the servants to fetch some tea.

After the two sat down, Helian Xuan questioned, ”Do you know someone called Li Yao?”

”Yeah, I know him,” Xia Chunyu replied, hiding his surprise.

”If I kill that kid, would you mind?”

Xia Chunyu blinked. ”What did he do?”

Helian Xuan hesitated. Could he really say that Little Jing might be interested in a man? Could he say that some punk swore at him? Oh, and slammed the door in his face?

This is humiliating.

On the way to Xia Chunyu's place, Helian Xuan thought about all that has transpired. Yes, it was possible that he was overreacting just a bit. He could be taking things too seriously. Perhaps all Little Jing wanted was to repay Li Yao out of gratitude. If that really was the case, Helian Xuan could admit that his actions tonight were out of line.

”Did you know that he was Little Jing's savior?”

Xia CHunyu nodded. ”Yes, Little Jing told me about this a long time ago.”

Helian Xuan sighed, ”Little Jing always comes to you. He never talks to his brother.”

”That's because you're too serious.”
