Chapter 437: Bargaining Chip


Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios


This time, Liu Heng, who was sitting beside Xia Ling, could not stand it any longer. “Du Yunfeng, what do you mean by this?”


It turned out that he was Du Yunfeng. Xia Ling recalled seeing him at the Nanshan Horse Racing Club a long time ago. At that time, she had just met Li Lei for a few days, and Li Lei took her there for horseback riding. She saw many of his friends there as well, and Du Yunfeng was one of them.


Later, Li Lei sent her to partic.i.p.ate in the audition for “War and Death” and was stopped by the security officer at the door. He made a phone call to the director of the producers, Du Yunfeng.


Thinking about the past caused slight pain in her heart.


There was no one beside Du Yunfeng. He pushed the c.o.c.ktail gla.s.s away and walked up to her. Placing both hands on the table, he leaned over to look at her. “You’re Ye Xingling, right? What right do you have to sit here? Aren’t you just a prost.i.tute?”


There was a sudden uproar.


Xia Ling did not expect for him to say that and was startled. She took a few seconds before angrily reacting. “Du Yunfeng, we’re not close! You should be more cultured and not run your mouth in front of people you are not familiar with!”


“Unfamiliar?” Du Yunfeng smiled even more coldly. “You’re right. We’re not very familiar with each other, but you’re very close to my brother. I’m sure you know his name, he’s called Li Lei.”


After unexpectedly hearing his name, there was a stabbing pain in her heart.


However, on the surface, she pretended to be calm. She only icily glared at him. She knew that this person was not going to be friendly. Looking at his stance, he probably came because of Li Lei. It turned out they were such close friends. When one of them fell out of love, the other stood up for him.


However, Li Lei rarely mentioned him to her and never took her to specially meet him before.


At once, Xia Ling became even sadder. Li Lei… She did not have enough time to understand him more and be more involved in his life. Just like that, she missed her chance forever.


The man in front of her reeked of alcohol as he stared at her with bloodshot eyes. “Ye Xingling, my brother was blind to fall in love with you! Do you know what he lost for you? After the accident at the cliff, he had around seven to eight surgeries before his life was saved. The doctor instructed him to stay in bed for half a year, but he immediately ran back to look for you once he could get off the bed because he was worried about you and did not want you to worry about him. Before he left to see you he even had a painkiller shot, but how did you treat him?! How can you be this inhumane?!


“My brother has lived a happy life until now, and he has never been rejected. Who are you to treat him like this! Do you know that because of you, he spent so much effort and money to fight with Pei Ziheng? Some time ago, his wounds were infected, and he was sent to the hospital again for an emergency rescue. I bet you didn’t know that. I bet you also didn’t know that Old Master Li punished him by making him kneel at the ancestral hall. Old Master Li loves him so much and never spoke harshly to him before. However, this time, he was boiling with rage! He wanted him to kneel at the ancestral hall! He told him to get up only after admitting his mistake!


“However, he’s really stupid. He refused to admit his mistake after kneeling for a day. In the end, he even fainted! Ye Xingling, ask yourself, how are you any good for him?! How are you worthy of the way he treats you?!


“Ye Xingling, you’re a b*tch! A prost.i.tute!”


He vented his anger in a long rant and everyone, including Xia Ling, was stunned after hearing what he said.


She never thought that such things would happen. Did Li Lei really take a painkiller shot before rus.h.i.+ng into Imperial Entertainment to see her? When his wounds inflamed later, Old Master still forced him to kneel? Even though he knelt at the ancestor altar, he still refused to give up on her? Everything seemed to crush her heart.


It hurt her so much that she could not breathe.


She did not think things would end up like this. She thought that he had already done enough for her, but he actually did more than what she was aware of. Even so, whenever they had a rare chance to meet, he never mentioned a word to her.


“Ye Xingling, you’re simply not worthy of him!” Du Yunfeng’s finger almost jabbed her nose.


“Yunfeng, you’re drunk.” Someone pulled him away and urged. “Let’s go. I’ll take you elsewhere to rest.”


“You should also let go! I’m very much awake!” Du Yunfeng pushed that person aside and glared at Xia Ling more fiercely than before. “Ye Xingling, you’re just a prost.i.tute who is not worthy of love! Since you just follow the person who has more money, I’m sure you like money, right? Well then.” He pushed a large stack of chips in front of her. “Is this enough to buy you for a night?!”


“Yunfeng, you’re crazy!”


“Miss Ye is Pei Ziheng’s woman.”


“Miss Ye is pregnant with Chairman Pei’s child. What happens if she is hurt? Yunfeng, calm down! Don’t act on impulse!”


Everyone started to advise him against it. They were terrified of his actions. Pei Ziheng was notorious for being tyrannical and unruly. If he found out that his woman and child were involved in this, he could seek revenge on their entire families!


“Go, quickly look for Pei Ziheng!” Someone secretly made eye contact with his companion. “If you don’t want to die, quickly go!”


Someone beside him rushed out.


In the center of the storm, Xia Ling sat quietly. As she looked at the big stack of chips on the table, their cold, crystal texture sparkled under the light. In a trance, she seemed to be distracted. The surrounding people could not restrain Du Yunfeng and gradually calmed down. All sorts of expressions moved back and forth between her and him in the dead silence.


Xia Ling had never been so humiliated in public before in both her past and present lives. However, she did not feel angry. Du Yunfeng was right. She was not worthy of Li Lei and deserved to be degraded in person.


How could her current humiliation even compare to a fraction of his pain when he gave his all to save her?


“Why aren’t you saying anything?” Du Yunfeng glared at her and sneered. “Is it too little? Will it be enough if I add these?” He noisily pushed over another pile of chips, all large denominations. If his chips were converted into RMB, they could fill an entire house.


Xia Ling started to feel envious of him. No, she was jealous of him. She was jealous that he could stand here and arrogantly stand up for Li Lei while she would never have a chance to do anything for him.


Her heart was in pain, but she appeared unmoved outwardly.


“Looks like you’re really greedy.” Du Yunfeng sneered and kept pus.h.i.+ng piles of chips over. “Is this enough? Still not enough? You’re just a sl*t. How valuable do you think you are? No matter what, I will have you today!”


The chips in front of her piled up to form a small mountain.


Du Yunfeng swept all of the chips on the table in front of her. Some of them even felt to the floor and disappeared without a trace because of his violence. Despite enduring this outrageous humiliation and everyone’s weird stares, she was still unbothered and thought calmly about what Jin Yifei said just now. This was a casino, and every night, a person would have a few million in wins and losses. She did not even know the worth of all the chips that were being swept in front of her.
