"Why can't you help me to worry less? Why don't you think about me?" yelled Qiu Mu-Cheng angrily as she continued to question Ye Fan.
"Do you know how many powerful families are backing this school? Do you know how many young masters of such rich families you have offended today? Sure, you're amazing, you can fight ten of them all by yourself. But Ye Fan, you're still too weak by yourself. Even if you can physically fight off ten or even a hundred men, how are you going to fight with so many rich and powerful families?"
"You only care about this one moment of glory. But did you also realize that you are going to face the onslaught of their families' revenge? When that happens, how are you going to fight back? Are you going to rely on your fists? Or rely on my small company that's just started picking up?" Qiu Mu-Cheng looked so upset.
Her angry questions echoed loudly.
Nobody could understand the fury and disappointment Qiu Mu-Cheng was feeling now.
Before this, Qiu Mu-Cheng had already told him very clearly not to clash with Fan Zhong-Xian and his buddies.
But she didn't think that Ye Fan would ignore her words, beat up Fan Zhong-Xian, and make everybody in the school kneel before him!
Qiu Mu-Cheng knew very well that every member of this boxing gym was from some rich and powerful family.
Offending any one of them was already bad enough.
But now, Ye Fan had offended every single one of them.
She had just gotten angry over how Ye Fan offended the Li family the day before.
But instead of learning from his lesson, Ye Fan had become worse.
"Ye Fan, you're trying to spite me, aren't you? Just because I forced you to go to the Li house to apologize, right?” Qiu Mu-Cheng's eyes were red and tears fell down her cheek.
Her angry words sounded sad and self-deprecating.
Finally, Qiu Mu-Cheng smiled and looked at Ye Fan.
"Ye Fan, don't you think you're being very childish? Just because you're angry with me, you went to get yourself into trouble and offended other people? Just to punish me? Is there a point to this? Does it make you feel better? Ye Fan, I never thought you would become someone like this. You really disappoint me."
Her tears continued to flow and covered her face.
Qiu Mu-Cheng looked at Ye Fan and shook her head.
Her words were filled with disappointment and sadness.
Ye Fan didn't say anything and just stood there with no expression on his face. His deep eyes continued to look calmly at her.
The cold wind blew wildly through her hair.
"Ye Fan, why are you still standing there?! Hurry up and apologize to Mu-Cheng! Do you really have to make sure the situation is beyond saving before you will stop? Besides, you're the one in the wrong in the first place. You have no background or family to help you, but you keep going round to make trouble. Of course Mu-Cheng is furious!" Su Qian quickly came over to talk Ye Fan around when she noticed that her best friend was genuinely upset now.
She wanted Ye Fan to give in and apologize to Qiu Mu-Cheng.
"Ladies, I think this gentleman here didn't do anything wrong. He was just trying to defend himself. After all, since trouble has come knocking on his door, surely you don't expect him to just stand there and let others beat him up, right? On top of that, I think this gentleman here is a big shot and he won't be afraid that any revenge will come for him,” Xia Xue spoke up for Ye Fan when it seemed like she couldn't stand hearing this anymore.
"Young lady, what do you know? If you don't know anything, then don't interrupt! Big shot? Do you know what a big shot really is? Did you think someone who can fight is a big shot?" shouted Su Qian in reply. Xia Xue's face immediately paled and she kept quiet after that.
Ye Fan had been silent all this while, and now he finally shook his head and scoffed self-deprecatingly. "Mu-Cheng, we've been husband and wife for three years, but in the end, you know me less than a young lady I don't know."
He shook his head and turned to leave.
"Where are you going?!" shouted Qiu Mu-Cheng angrily.
Ye Fan didn't turn back and his cold voice could be heard, "I said before that you don't understand me at all. Since that's the case, why bother about my matters anymore? Don't worry, no matter how terrible the storm is, I'll take it on by myself. No matter what happens, I won't implicate you."
Ye Fan left after saying these words.
Qiu Mu-Cheng was left with nothing but that skinny and determined back view.
