The Strongest Dandy in the City-Chapter 494: Received a Cold Reception
Chapter 494: Chapter 494: Received a Cold Reception
Li Yaguo’s car was a Mercedes off-roader, with Ye Chenfeng and Ning Yuting sitting in the back, and Wang Li in the passenger seat. On the way to Li Yaguo’s villa, Ye Chenfeng learned a lot from Li Yaguo about the underground forces in Country M.
The Huaxia gangs had significant influence in many cities across Country M. Each city had a gang leader. Originally, when the Huaxia gangs were first established in Country M, they were a very small group, but as the gang grew larger, many wanted to become the leader of the gang.
This led to internal strife, which grew increasingly severe, eventually causing the Huaxia gangs to lose the unity they once had. Many of the old-timers left for other cities in Country M to establish their own Huaxia gang forces. On the surface, it seemed like the Huaxia gangs in Country M were developing well, but in reality, they were just a loose collection of individuals.
About an hour into the drive, the Mercedes off-roader came to a smooth stop in front of a villa that had a distinct Huaxia Country style. When Ye Chenfeng stepped out of the car, he noticed that the surrounding villas were all styled after Huaxia Country, suggesting that the residents in the area were likely all from Huaxia.
Li Yaguo invited Ye Chenfeng and the other two guests into the villa. The villa’s hall was brightly lit, with an old man and two middle-aged men seated on a leather sofa.
The spry old man was Li Yaguo’s father, Li Hongjiang, while the two middle-aged men were Li Yaguo’s older brother, Li Yatian, a somewhat thin man, and his second brother, Li Yanan.
Upon seeing Li Yaguo, Li Yatian and Li Yanan simultaneously displayed a disdainful expression on their faces, and Li Hongjiang was no different. In fact, Li Yaguo and his brothers were half-brothers, as they shared the same father. Li Yaguo only remembered that after his mother died, his father, Li Hongjiang, brought him to live in the villa; to put it plainly, Li Yaguo’s mother was Li Hongjiang’s mistress.
As the legitimate sons of Li Hongjiang’s wife, would Li Yatian and Li Yanan have any kindness to show to Li Yaguo? From the time they were young, the two rejected Li Yaguo, their half-brother. When Li Yaguo was little, Li Hongjiang was quite fond of this illegitimate son.
But as the three sons grew older, Li Hongjiang realized that his youngest son, Li Yaguo, was utterly useless. Over time, he, too, began to look down on his son. In truth, however, it wasn’t that Li Yaguo was useless; rather, it was Li Yatian and Li Yanan, these two brothers, who repeatedly plotted against Li Yaguo, causing his standing in their father Li Hongjiang’s heart to diminish steadily.
After seeing the expressions on his father and brothers’ faces, Li Yaguo turned to Ye Chenfeng and apologized, "Brother, wait here a minute or two. I’m going to greet my father."
Li Yaguo walked into the hall and approached Li Hongjiang and his brothers. Li Hongjiang gave a cold glance at his youngest son and said, "Where have you been fooling around tonight? Can’t you learn something from your two brothers? Always idling about, we told you to work for the Huaxia gang, but have you ever succeeded in anything? You’re such a waste."
Li Yaguo pursed his lips. He knew his two brothers all too well. The first woman he ever loved was snatched away by his oldest brother, Li Yatian, who now calls her his wife, and the second woman turned out to be the same story with his second brother, Li Yanan.
From then on, Li Yaguo stopped believing in love. He stayed at home over the years without leaving, not because he liked to endure humiliation. Imagine seeing the women you once loved in the arms of another man every day, and even at night, they were... Any man would find it unbearable.
However, Li Yaguo knew that if he left home in a fit of anger, his older and second brothers would definitely harm him. At least at home, he wouldn’t be in danger. No matter how cowardly he appeared in the eyes of others, he was still Li Hongjiang’s son, and Li Hongjiang would not allow anything to happen to Li Yaguo.
So, Li Yaguo lived his life in a daze for so many years. He wanted to stand up and resist, he even thought about killing his two so-called brothers, but dreams are full, and reality is brutal. He could only swallow his anger time and again, waiting for an opportunity to come.
Tonight, Li Yaguo brought Ye Chenfeng and the others to his home because he genuinely admired Ye Chenfeng’s skills. He could tell that Ye Chenfeng was definitely no ordinary person. He wanted to introduce Ye Chenfeng to his father, Li Hongjiang, and hoped his father could stand up for Ye Chenfeng. After all, the young master of the Geyami family had been killed, and who knows if the entire Geyami family would go berserk? Even if Ye Chenfeng had great martial prowess, there must be a time when his strength would be exhausted, right? Perhaps this was Li Yaguo’s way of trying to forge a good relationship with Ye Chenfeng!
Li Yaguo recounted the gist of the incident to his father, Li Hongjiang, and at the end, he specifically emphasized Ye Chenfeng’s formidable capabilities, "Dad, our Huaxia clan has always been at odds with the Geyami family. This time, let the Huaxia clan take a stand for Brother Ye! Besides, Brother Ye’s abilities are exceptional. I can tell he is destined to be extraordinary."
After Li Yaguo finished speaking, the gazes of Li Hongjiang, Li Yatian, and Li Yanan turned towards Ye Chenfeng and the other two standing at the entrance of the hall. Li Hongjiang merely glanced at them before diverting his eyes, while Li Yatian and Li Yanan stared at Ning Yuting, who was next to Ye Chenfeng, for a long while. It seemed that the two of them had taken a liking to Ning Yuting.
"Li Yaguo, don’t bring all sorts of riff-raff home. Why should our Huaxia clan take up his cause? Besides, it’s not our family who calls the shots in the Huaxia clan." Li Yatian said coldly.
"Dad, you absolutely have to help Brother Ye. I’ve never asked you for anything my whole life. This time, consider it me begging you," Li Yaguo said urgently.
Standing at the entrance of the hall, Ye Chenfeng, with his acute hearing, caught every word of Li Yaguo’s conversation. He had not expected Li Yaguo to support him so firmly. And from the conversation, he also discerned that Li Yaguo’s position in the family seemed not to be very high. No wonder Beck had called Li Yaguo a loser before.
"Dad, Xiaoli and I have made some late-night snacks for you." Two maturely dressed matrons walked out of the kitchen. Upon seeing Li Yaguo, disdain flickered in their eyes. These two women were Li Yatian’s wife Wu Dan and Li Yanan’s wife Zhou Xiaoli, Li Yaguo’s first and second girlfriends from his younger days. freeweɓnøvel~com
Ever since marrying Li Yaguo’s elder and second brothers, Wu Dan and Zhou Xiaoli looked down on Li Yaguo even more. Over the years, they had come to see Li Yaguo as a coward, spineless. But why couldn’t they reflect on themselves? They had betrayed Li Yaguo. If they had stood by him resolutely, knowing Li Yaguo’s character, he would definitely not have backed down. Thus, Li Yaguo had seen the true nature of these two women.
Li Yatian and Li Yanan deliberately stood up and wrapped their arms around their respective wives. They enjoyed being affectionate with their wives in front of Li Yaguo, deriving a twisted sense of pleasure from it.
"Dinglingling, dinglingling..." Suddenly, the telephone in the hall rang. Li Hongjiang answered the call. It was the current president of the Huaxia clan in the capital of Country M, "Hongjiang, has your son Li Yaguo brought three people from Huaxia Country to your house?"
"President, how do you know about this?" Li Hongjiang asked with surprise.
"So, they really are there with you? You must keep them there. They murdered the young master of the Geyami family, and the Geyami family is pressuring me. It’s not just the Geyami family that has come; the Charnoff family is also involved. I don’t know when the Geyami family got in contact with the Charnoffs, but we can’t afford to provoke the Charnoffs. We should be arriving at your villa immediately, so you must not let those three people from Huaxia Country get away," the president of the Huaxia clan emphasized repeatedly over the phone.(To be continued.
