27: Chapter 27 I'm truly speechless! This whole family's intelligence can't even produce a single, complete brain!

Inside the VIP private room.

The atmosphere was tense and fraught with peril.

Cold sweat on Niu Feihang's back had long since soaked his shirt.

Even as foolish as he was, he could tell that today's matter probably couldn't be covered up anymore.

Confronting them head-on would definitely result in a miserable death.

Running away was his only way out.

A flash of calculation swiftly swept across the depths of his eyes.

Immediately afterward, he slumped his shoulders, a pitiful yet relieved smile appearing on his face, and looked tearfully at Chen Xingyue:

"Sister Yue, being able to fall in love with you for half a year is the luckiest thing in my life."

"But my background is humble; I'm not worthy of a wealthy Young Miss like you."

"Since Uncle and Auntie cannot tolerate me, I won't stay here to bring humiliation upon myself."

"Live your life well, I wish you happiness."

"..."

Finished speaking, he feigned wiping away a tear, turned around, and bolted toward the door, his footsteps as fast as if he were stepping on wind-fire wheels.

His acting was nothing short of resolute and heartbreakingly beautiful, looking every bit like a devoted male lead torn apart by worldly conventions.

"Don't go—!!!"

Chen Xingyue's defenses broke on the spot, and with a scream, she chased after him in high heels clacking loudly, grabbing hold of Niu Feihang's arm in a dead grip.

Her eye sockets were red, and tears streamed down in torrents.

Her other hand reached out straight in a classic Er Kang-style plea to make him stay:

"Don't go! Feifei! Don't go!"

"o(╥﹏╥)o How am I supposed to live without you! Wuwuwu—"

"..."

Niu Feihang didn't care how a love-brained person was supposed to live.

At this moment, he only wanted himself to live.

Yet after forcefully shaking his arm twice, he still couldn't shake the person off.

In his heart, he cursed mmp ten thousand times, but on his face, he still had to maintain that pitiful look.

"Sister Yue, let go... We really aren't suited for each other..."

"..."

"I won't let go!" Chen Xingyue gripped her boyfriend's sleeve tightly, lifted her head to look at him affectionately, her gaze resolute as if facing death.

"Feifei, let's elope!"

"Wherever you go, I will go! A wife follows her husband's lead! We will wander the ends of the earth together and travel to the corners of the world!"

"I'm not afraid of hardship! Whatever Fourth Young Miss of the Chen family, I won't be it anymore! I only want you!"

"..."

Niu Feihang: "..."

He was completely numb.

Eldest Sister, are you sick in the head?!!

If you want to elope, say it in private!

Saying you want to elope with me in front of your entire family, can this fucking still be called eloping?!!

This is called public provocation! This is called courting death!!!!!!

Besides, I'm running away to dodge debts; am I supposed to bring you along as dead weight to freeload?!

"Chen Xingyue! You've gone mad!!"

Chen Jianguo was so angry his blood pressure soared, and he roared while pointing at his daughter's nose.

"For a pretty boy like this, you don't even want your family anymore?"

"You won't even acknowledge us, your flesh-and-blood relatives?"

"If you dare to leave with him today, all the bank cards, real estate, cars, and industry resources under your name will be completely frozen and repossessed by me!"

"Let's see what you use to wander the ends of the earth with him!"

"..."

The threat level was maximized.

A normal person would have chickened out long ago.

But who was Chen Xingyue? A veteran love-brain.

She disdainfully lifted her chin, tossed her red wavy hair, and put on an aloof expression that screamed "What do you vulgar people know?":

"Superficial! Too superficial!"

"Money and fame are both worldly possessions; only love is an eternal, rare treasure!"

"As long as I can be with Feifei, even if we eat chaff and swallow vegetables every day and sleep under a bridge, my heart will still be sweet!"

"You can take my money away, but you cannot take away our steadfast love!"

"..."

Everyone in the room: "..."

Total silence.

Chen Jianguo clutched his chest, almost suffering a heart attack on the spot.

Wang Xiaoyun's temples were throbbing wildly—

The look she gave her daughter was like looking at an idiot who had been put under a spell.

The corners of Chen Xuening and her sisters' mouths twitched frantically, their toes almost curling to dig out a three-story underground parking lot.

[Heh, classic love-brain speech.]

[This Immortal Venerable heard her say it a thousand and eight hundred times in her past life, and could throw up every single time.]

[When the truth smashes into her face later, let's see if she can still utter such fresh and refined foolishness.]

The immortal venerable voice pack leisurely commented in the mind, carrying an undisguised sense of watching a good show.

Chen Fan listened and clicked his tongue inwardly.

Fourth Sister's love-brain was indeed quite seriously ill...

No wonder Brother Hao kept roasting her; whoever saw this would feel anxious.

"You, you..." Wang Xiaoyun was so angry her fingers shook as she pointed at Niu Feihang, "Keep your eyes wide open for me!!!!"

"This man doesn't love you at all! He wants to sell you off to pay off his debts!"

"..."

Chen Xingyue didn't believe it at all, and said with a thoroughly unconvinced face:

"Mom! How can you also be so unreasonable?!!!"

"You keep claiming that Feifei wants to harm me! Where is the evidence?! Bring out the evidence then!!"

"If you can't produce evidence, you're just bullying others with your power and slandering our pure love!"

"..."

Niu Feihang immediately cooperated by puffing out his chest, wearing a look of humiliation and unyielding pride:

"Auntie! You can beat me and scold me, but you cannot trample on my sincerity toward Sister Yue!"

"I may be poor, but I have dignity! You cannot slander someone's innocence out of thin air!"

"If you have the ability, bring out the evidence!"

"If you can't bring it out, even if your Chen family is powerful today, I will still demand an explanation!"

"..."

He spoke righteously and with full confidence.

He had calculated it all out.

This family had rushed over temporarily; it was completely impossible for them to have any evidence.

Sure enough, as soon as these words came out, Wang Xiaoyun and the others were instantly at a loss for words.

They really had hit the nail on the head.

They had rushed over anxiously after hearing Chen Fan's inner voice, and didn't have any time at all to investigate and gather evidence offline!

For a moment, they really couldn't produce paper evidence.

They couldn't possibly say "We could hear our son's/younger brother's inner voice and he prophesied it," could they?

Who would believe that if it were said out loud!

The entire family stood in place with wronged expressions, completely blocked from speaking.

Right at this moment.

That cold yet speechless voice slowly sounded in everyone's minds!

[This Immortal Venerable has truly seen it all.]

[A bunch of idiots, isn't the evidence right there on the table?]

[That glass of cocktail is the most direct evidence.]

[As long as this pretty boy drinks it on the spot, won't the truth be immediately apparent?]

[Why bother talking nonsense with him for half a day and wasting breath.]

[And upstairs in Room 303, those few chubby, grease-faced creditors are wearing bathrobes, rubbing their palms and waiting.]

[They are just waiting for the pretty boy to send a signal before coming down to enjoy the spoils of war they paid for.]

[Drag the people down to confront them face-to-face, are you still afraid he won't admit it?]

[This Immortal Venerable is truly speechless! The whole family's combined IQ couldn't make up a single complete brain!]

[With this kind of level, being played in circles by the Fake Young Master in the past life is truly not wronged at all.]

Chen Fan: "..."

Brother Hao, you've had enough.

If you want to mention evidence, mention evidence; what's wrong with throwing in a personal attack on my whole family?

However, these words really did wake him up.

The evidence was right in front of them, why bother talking nonsense with the scumbag?

Just as he was about to open his mouth to remind his parents, he heard Chen Jianguo already taking a step ahead, raising his hand to point at the pink cocktail on the table:

"Evidence? Of course there is."

"Niu Feihang, didn't you say you are sincere toward Xingyue?"

"Drink this glass of wine in front of you."

"If you drink it and are fine! We will believe you are innocent and apologize to you immediately."

"..."

Niu Feihang's complexion swished to a pale paper-white.

His heart plummeted abruptly.

Fuck!

It's over, it's over!

How could I have forgotten this most fatal piece of evidence?!

Cold sweat streamed down his temples wildly, and his limbs instantly turned cold.

Before he could make up an excuse to shirk, Wang Xiaoyun struck while the iron was hot, her tone icy:

"Did you think we knew nothing?"

"Your usury creditors are right upstairs in Room 303, aren't they!"

"..."

She turned her head toward the black-suited bodyguards at the door and gave a deep command:

"Go up! Control everyone in Room 303 and bring them all down!"

"Yes, Madam!" The bodyguards acknowledged the order and rushed upstairs quickly.

Then Wang Xiaoyun picked up that glass of pink cocktail, handed it to Niu Feihang, her gaze brimming with oppressive force:

"Drink."

Niu Feihang trembled all over, his legs weak, and he panicked as he grabbed the last straw of hope, looking pitifully at Chen Xingyue.

His eye sockets were red, full of grievance:

"Sister Yue! Look! Your parents are forcibly forcing me to drink this glass of wine!"

"Isn't this clearly doubting me?"

"I also have dignity, and will never allow myself to be humiliated and trampled upon over and over again like this."

"I will never drink this glass of wine!"

"Drinking it would be desecrating our undying love!"

"..."

Chen Xingyue deeply agreed, feeling that her parents were truly unreasonable.

She immediately turned sideways to block in front of Niu Feihang, glaring angrily at her parents and saying:

"Mom and Dad, you guys are going too far!"

"Bullying ordinary people by relying on your wealth and power! Bullying Feifei who works hard at the bottom!"

"Everyone is equal in the new society! You are not allowed to force Feifei! If he doesn't want to drink, he doesn't have to drink!"

"..."

Looking at her youngest daughter who was impervious to reason and completely bewitched, Wang Xiaoyun's temples throbbed wildly.

Her fists clenched and then loosened, forcibly holding back the impulse to raise her hand and give her a big slap.

Calm down! Calm down!

Going head-to-head would only trigger this girl's stronger rebellious psychology and cause her to completely break ties with the family.

Wang Xiaoyun conceived a plan, softened her tone, and threw out the bait.

"Fine, I won't force him."

"Daughter! Since you insist on being together with him, then I will give you this chance."

"As long as he drinks this glass of wine and proves that the wine is clean and has no problems."

"Mom promises! From now on, the family will never interfere in your relationship again."

"..."

As soon as these words came out, Chen Xingyue's eyes lit up.

All hostility instantly dissipated, and she looked pleasantly surprised at Chen Jianguo on the side, saying:

"Dad, did you hear that? Do you agree too?"

"I agree! Everything listens to your mom!"

After obtaining her parents' promise, Chen Xingyue was extremely excited.

In her view, this was the pass to free love.

Anyway, her Feihang was innocent and blameless, and could never harm her, so drinking it was no big deal.

Therefore, she impatiently picked up the wine glass with both hands and shoved it straight to Niu Feihang's lips, her eyes sparkling with anticipation:

"Feifei, drink it quickly!"

"After drinking it, we can be together openly and aboveboard! No one can ever tear us apart again!"

"..."

Niu Feihang was completely dumbfounded.

The plot twist happened way too fast.

His brain crashed, his hands and feet ice cold.

Drink it, and he would faint on the spot with undeniable evidence, sitting in prison until the bottom rots.

Not drink it, and it would directly substantiate his guilt, exposing the scam on the spot.

Caught in a dilemma, a dead end!

At this moment, his legs turned soft, his gaze darted evasively, and he retreated repeatedly:

"N-No... My, my stomach and intestines are not good, I just saw a doctor a few days ago, the doctor said I absolutely cannot drink alcohol..."

"Really, Sister Yue, you know. My stomach has always been bad, I can only eat soft rice..."

"..."

He stuttered, his excuse ridiculously clumsy.

Even a fool could hear there was a problem.

The excitement on Chen Xingyue's face faded bit by bit.

She looked at Niu Feihang's pale face, evasive gaze, and incoherent excuses, her heart feeling like it had been doused with ice water, turning cold bit by bit.

Impossible...

It's impossible...

Feifei loved her so much, how could he...

Just as she was letting her imagination run wild.

Outside the corridor, disorderly footsteps and vulgar cursing and shouting came over.

A group of bloated, pot-bellied middle-aged men, draped in loose bathrobes and bare-chested, were escorted into the private room in a line by the black-suited bodyguards.

Every single one of them reeked of smoke and alcohol, with greasy and ugly appearances.

As soon as the bald man leading the group entered, he glared at Niu Feihang and shouted at the top of his lungs:

"You bastard! What the hell are you playing at?!"

"Didn't you say tonight you'd let your girlfriend hang out with us brothers to pay off that fifty-thousand interest?"

"What's the meaning of this battle formation? Are you playing us for fools?!"

"..."

Boom—!!!

The last layer of filter shattered completely.

The truth smashed naked in front of everyone.

Niu Feihang lost all strength in his whole body, his legs softened, and he almost collapsed to the ground, his complexion pale and completely devoid of color.

He was completely done for.

He stiffly turned his head to meet Chen Xingyue's dead and reddened eyes, and hurriedly began to quibble:

"Sister Yue! Listen to my explanation! I have extenuating circumstances!"

"I borrowed usury loans just to buy you luxury gifts!"

"I was forced! They said they were going to chop off one of my hands! I really had no other choice!"

"If I told the truth, I was afraid you would be disappointed in me. Can you please forgive me..."

"..."

Slap!!!

A crisp and loud slap echoed throughout the entire VIP private room.

The accumulated grievances, trust, obsession, and sincerity all collapsed and erupted at this moment.

The deeper the love, the fiercer the hatred.

Chen Xingyue's eyes were bloodshot, tears gushed out like crazy, and her long-suppressed anger completely erupted.

She raised her hand to grab Niu Feihang's collar, and while savagely beating his greasy, powdered pretty-boy face, she burst into tears and cursed in a breakdown:

"Extenuating circumstances? You still have extenuating circumstances?!"

"Then what about me? I fell out with my family for you! I was willing to give up wealth and glory for you!"

"I was even planning to elope with you and wander the ends of the earth! I trusted you so much!!!"

"You actually wanted to sell me off to this group of old men to pay off debts?!"

"You beast! Big liar!!!"

"..."

Her blows were fierce and urgent, wishing she could vent all her grievances, and the scene spun out of control for a moment.

The moment she thought of the fate after drinking that spiked wine and falling into the hands of these greasy men...

Her whole body turned cold with lingering fear.

"Alright, alright, stop hitting him! Hand him over to the police to be dealt with according to the law!"

"..."

Seeing Niu Feihang's face covered in blood, Chen Jianguo was afraid something serious would happen from the beating, so he hurriedly stepped forward to pull his daughter back.

Wang Xiaoyun also hurriedly pulled her daughter into her arms, patting her back heartrendingly and soothing her in a low voice.

Lying in her mother's arms, Chen Xingyue finally couldn't hold it together anymore, letting out a wail as she wept bitterly, crying heart-rendingly.

"Mom! My heart hurts so much!!!"

"It hurts! It hurts so much!!!!!!"

"..."
