"Brother Chu, you... you'd better leave quickly, this has nothing to do with you, I'm begging you, just listen to me this once. I... I already owe you so much, I really can't drag you down any further."

Originally, Chu Ge said that to try to ease Ye Li's tension a bit, but Ye Li's anxious state didn't relax at all. The thought of Lei Ge's rampant behavior in the area only made her more uneasy and frightened, and she grabbed Chu Ge's arm with pleading eyes.

"Leave? Damn it! Ye Li, what kind of daydream are you having? Sister Nan actually gave him a chance just now, but he didn't appreciate it, did he?"

Lin Ling turned her head and spat on the ground, spoke with utter contempt, then suddenly changed her tone, crossed her arms, and said, "How about this, I could be merciful and give you another chance? As long as you do it, I'll let this crappy brother of yours get lost."

"Alright! You say it! I'll definitely do it!"

Hearing that there might be a way out, Ye Li sprang up, looked at Lin Ling with a determined gaze, her delicate body no longer trembling, as if ready to face anything, no matter how dangerous.

"Take off your clothes, let me write 'cheap' on your left side and 'goods' on your right, and walk back into school like that. Then I'll let your crappy brother get lost. How about it? Am I not kind-hearted? Do you agree?"

Lin Ling seemed very pleased with this sudden idea. After speaking, she let out an arrogant, sharp laugh and looked at Li Nan. "Sister Nan, what do you think?"

Li Nan also laughed maliciously, slapped her thigh, "Great idea! We'll give this little whore a chance for fame! That little whore should properly thank us too!"

Originally, the fire in Chu Ge's heart had already died down a bit, preparing to discuss this when Li Nan's so-called "big brother" arrived. But upon hearing such poisonous words from the two girls, the fire rose up again.

Looking at Li Nan and Lin Ling's smug faces, listening to their arrogant laughter, Chu Ge only felt disgusted and pierced in his ears, his eyes turned completely cold, and he stood up suddenly.

"Alright! I agree!"

However, before Chu Ge could react, Ye Li actually nodded and quickly agreed, as if without even thinking, she reached out and grabbed the hem of her shirt and started pulling it up.

Seeing Ye Li's hands moving without hesitation, and that the little shirt would be completely taken off, Chu Ge's pupils shrank, his brows furrowed instantly, and he grabbed Ye Li's hand to stop her actions.

This scene left Lin Ling and Li Nan dumbfounded, their shrill laughter stopped abruptly, Li Nan's right hand holding the beer bottle suddenly halted, the bottle fell and shattered with a "crack," spilling beer everywhere unnoticed.

They originally just wanted to deliberately make things difficult for Ye Li, to see her humiliated, wronged, embarrassed, and shamed to tears. At this moment, they couldn't have imagined in their wildest dreams that Ye Li would actually agree so readily and without any hesitation.

Is this... still the timid, easily bullied Ye Li? Who gave her such courage?

"Ye Li, what are you doing!"

Chu Ge was furious, completely furious, his eyes cold, his tone stern.

"Brother Chu, I've already owed you enough, how can I drag you down again?"

"And you can agree to such a demand? Are you crazy? That's nonsense!"

"As long as it's for you, I'm willing to do anything!"

Ye Li's words were fast, yet decisive and resounding.

Although Chu Ge subconsciously applied some force with his hands at this moment, gripping Ye Li's tender wrists to the point they were slightly red, Ye Li seemed to feel no pain at all. She met Chu Ge's gaze unwaveringly, confronting him eye to eye.

Looking into Ye Li's earnest eyes and hearing her say such a thing, Chu Ge felt his heart wrench painfully.

Shock wasn't enough to describe how he felt at that moment.

The previous incident where he helped Ye Li was just a small effort for Chu Ge, yet he never imagined that Ye Li held such feelings for him.

It was simply an unbearably heavy weight!

"Clap, clap, clap..."

"Wow, wow, wow, this scene is really touching, what a supreme act of innocence!"

Just then, inappropriate applause, along with a sarcastic voice, came from across the way.

As this sound reached Chu Ge's ears, he squinted slightly, feeling bursts of nausea.

"Ye Li, stop doing foolish things, be good, listen."

Releasing Ye Li's wrist, his fingers gently caressed her slightly reddened wrist with pity, then Chu Ge turned back, looking at Li Nan and Lin Ling who were filled with provocative sarcasm, a wicked curve formed on his lips.

Previously, Chu Ge considered them as immature girls and didn't want to argue much, but now he changed his mind. No matter what, he intended to teach them a lesson today, make them remember.

Although Chu Ge's expression was not vicious, seeing that devilish smile on his face, Lin Ling suddenly felt a chill down her spine, inexplicably feeling a bit guilty.

Li Nan felt somewhat the same, but thinking that Brother Li would be coming soon, she felt much more at ease, lifted her chin, and met Chu Ge's gaze without showing weakness, provocatively saying: "Tsk tsk, surprising that you can still smile, do you really think this idea is good?"

Unexpectedly, Chu Ge nodded with a smile, "It really is good."

Li Nan, Lin Ling, and Ye Li were all stunned.

After saying these four words, Chu Ge stood up from the table, and before Li Nan and Lin Ling could react, he said plainly, "But, it's meant for you two."

As he spoke, Chu Ge suddenly raised his hand and slapped both of their faces.

"Slap!"

"Slap!"

Even though Chu Ge didn't use his full strength, for these two women, it was quite fierce. Accompanied by two crisp sounds, two bright red handprints appeared on the right cheek of Li Nan and Lin Ling.

Immediately, their right cheeks visibly swelled up quickly.

Li Nan and Lin Ling stared at Chu Ge, dumbfounded, for several seconds without feeling the burning pain on their faces, as if they had suddenly become stupid.

"Ah!"

The sound came not from Li Nan or Lin Ling, but from Ye Li sitting to the side.

She never imagined that Chu Ge would suddenly make a move and so forcefully at that!

Looking at those two bright red handprints, Ye Li felt her mind buzzing, her vision went black. Instinctively covering her mouth, her body trembled. Now, Chu Ge had thoroughly offended Li Nan and fully got himself into trouble.

Not only Ye Li was frightened, the restaurant owner was simply scared silly at this moment. While Li Nan and Lin Ling hadn't covered their faces yet, he instinctively touched his own right cheek. Just watching Chu Ge deliver those slaps made him feel an indescribable pain.

After delivering those two heavy slaps, Chu Ge turned towards the table where he was eating, grinned at Ye Li, and thumbed behind him.

"Didn't you say this matter had nothing to do with me? Well, now it does."

Having said that, Chu Ge sat back down steadily, turning his gaze to the thoroughly frightened restaurant owner.

"How about you step out for a bit, big brother?"

Meeting Chu Ge's eyes, the restaurant owner shivered suddenly, said nothing, and directly slipped into the kitchen.

At this point, Li Nan and Lin Ling finally came to their senses, raised their hands to cover their cheeks, and stared straight at Chu Ge, who acted as if nothing had happened.

Even though their cheeks were throbbing with burning pain, they still found it unbelievable. They had already invoked Brother Li's name; even if this guy didn't know who Brother Li was, he should have realized that it must be someone formidable, right?

Yet even so, he still dared to make a move? Was he insane!

"You... dare hit me? Damn! You fucking dare hit me!"

In extreme shock, Li Nan's heart was filled with extreme anger. She picked up half a bottle of wine from the ground and charged at Chu Ge furiously, appearing ready to stab Chu Ge.

However, just as she took a step forward, Chu Ge raised his hand and splashed a full glass of beer in her face.

Doused in beer, Li Nan's eyes were blinded, and she let out a sharp scream, halting her steps abruptly. The beer trickled down, rendering her in an indescribably messy state.

Watching Li Nan's distorted face, Chu Ge placed the glass back on the table and said coldly, "Do you think everyone in the world owes you something, and everyone has to pamper you? Who gave you the guts to bully Ye Li from our family?"

Li Nan, having been brazen for a long time, hadn't been rebuked in such a manner for ages, and she was almost fuming with anger. She roughly wiped her beer-drenched face and, glaring with her bloodshot eyes, wielded the half bottle of wine, forgetting how easily Chu Ge had subdued her before, and charged at Chu Ge once more.

"Damn! I'm gonna kill..."

Before she could finish, Li Nan suddenly felt a blur before her eyes. With a "whizz", something swiftly shot into her field of view.

Then she heard a "thud" next to her ear. In front of her recently landed right foot appeared a chopstick, embedded like a nail into the floor crack, missing her toes by less than a centimeter.

Witnessing this scene, Li Nan was instantly dumbstruck, her earlier fierceness dissipating in an instant. With eyes wide open, she swallowed hard, released the half bottle of wine in her hand, mechanically raised her stiff neck, and subconsciously took a step back from Chu Ge.
