C5 Invitation to Dinner
"Shuangyan, I beg you, please let me live. My family is already bankrupt, I will not make things difficult for you guys anymore."
Lee Zhen cried and begged Xiao Tian and Ye Shuangyan. Now he knew that he could not afford to offend Xiao Tian. If he had known Xiao Tian's strength earlier, he would not have dared to covet Ye Shuangyan's beauty even if he had a hundred guts.
He would not lose his wife and soldiers. Now that things had come to this, he could not force himself.
Ye Zhan originally wanted to curry favor with Lee Zhen, but now that the Lee family had gone bankrupt, it was useless for Lee Zhen to keep it. He grabbed Lee Zhen's collar and kicked him out like a dog. He turned around and closed the door.
"Aiyo, my butt..."
Lee Zhen's voice came from outside the door. Ye Zhan acted as if he didn't hear him and didn't want to bother with this person anymore. Xiao Tian didn't care about Lee Zhen either.
Ye Zhan's heart was still in the air. From Xiao Tian's expression, there was no joy or anger, no worry, and no excitement of winning.
He subconsciously wiped the sweat on his forehead.
"Shuangyan, are you okay?"
Xiao Tian saw Ye Shuangyan staring at him in a daze and subconsciously touched Ye Shuangyan's cheek.
"Xiao Tian, what are you doing? Is it..."
Ye Shuangyan had too many questions in her heart, but she did not know how to ask. She wanted to ask him how he became so strong and how he became so capable. She wanted to know what he had gone through all these years to become what he was today.
"You don't need to think about anything. You don't need to worry about anything. You just need to stay by my side in peace."
Xiao Tian gently pulled Ye Shuangyan into his arms.
Ye Shuangyan thought for a long time but could not think of an answer. She was not willing to think about it. As long as Xiao Tian was alive and well, nothing else mattered.
She heaved a sigh of relief and a relaxed smile gradually appeared on her face. In Xiao Tian's embrace, an unprecedented sense of security made Ye Shuangyan feel extremely happy.
The two of them loved each other in front of Ye Zhan. Ye Zhan did not dare to disturb them.
Thinking back to when Ye Zhan looked at Xiao Tian like he was looking at a disaster, he wished he could divorce Ye Shuangyan earlier, but now he did not dare to say a word.
Xiao Tian was just about to leave with Ye Shuangyan when his phone rang. When he took it out and saw that it was Bai Fu calling, he hesitated for a moment and picked up the phone.
"Xiao, it's me, Bai Fu. I called to invite you to dinner. I wonder if the lord would appreciate it?"
Bai Fu's respectful voice came from the other side of the phone.
"I wonder if Madam has time? If Madam is willing to come, it is my honor."
Bai Fu had been in the business for many years and was meticulous. He knew that Xiao Tian had just returned and his wife was almost humiliated. He did this to make those who coveted Ye Shuangyan take back their thoughts.
Xiao Tian looked at Ye Shuangyan at the side and Ye Shuangyan quickly shook her head to reject him. She could not go to the appointment. There might be some bad things waiting for her.
"If you have anything to say, I will wait for your answer at any time."
Bai Fu waited for a few seconds but did not get a reply. He thought that Xiao Tian must have some concerns, so he hung up the phone.
"You can't go either. This Bai Fu eats people and doesn't throw up his bones. If he gets hold of something, he will die a fate worse than death."
Ye Shuangyan felt that there was no evil in doing business, not to mention that Bai Fu was the richest man in Yun Du, the biggest businessman. He definitely would not do something without benefits.
Although Bai Fu had some relationship with Xiao Tian now, and he respected Xiao Tian very much, just now did not mean that he would do it forever. She did not know why Bai Fu invited Xiao Tian, nor did she want to know. She just wanted Xiao Tian to be safe.
Seeing Ye Shuangyan's determination, Xiao Tian was ready to reject her.
At this moment, Ye Zhan hurried forward and asked Xiao Tian to attend the gathering.
"I have to go. Ye Shuangyan, it's not that you don't know about Bai Fu's status in Yun Du. Inviting you to dinner is because you think highly of all of you. All of you should feel honored. You still want to refuse. If you refuse, today's Lee family will be the Ye family tomorrow. "
"Let me tell you this. Offending Bai Fu will not end well. I advise you to accept the invitation."
Ye Zhan was about to say whether Ye Shuangyan was stupid, but when he thought of Xiao Tian's skills, he immediately changed his mind. Xiao Tian had martial arts. Compared to Bai Fu's wealth, it was worthless.
He wanted to use this opportunity to help the Ye family rise to power. Not every family could be invited by Bai Fu. This was enough for him to do whatever he wanted in the Cloud Capital.
Even a force like the Lee family wouldn't dare to offend him.
Xiao Tian ignored the noisy Ye Zhan. Seeing that he was Ye Shuangyan's brother, he did not want to bicker with him. He helped Ye Shuangyan sit down and told her not to think too much about it. If she wanted to go, she would go. If she did not want to go, she would not go.
"Let's go."
These few short words exhausted all the strength in Ye Shuangyan's body.
She did not know how many times she had experienced this kind of helplessness over the years.
"Take a break first."
Ye Shuangyan nodded obediently and took the water from Xiao Tian. Although Xiao Tian said that she did not need to care, she had to think more about it.
"Xiao Tian, there is water outside the heavens. Promise me that you won't provoke people you shouldn't offend in the future. Your personality is too stubborn. I'm really worried that something will happen to you."
Ye Shuangyan worriedly tried to persuade him.
Xiao Tian smiled and nodded in agreement. He understood that Ye Shuangyan was thinking for him. Was this the feeling of being cared for by others? This feeling was really wonderful.
There were people who cared about him. There were people who cared about their own safety.
The two of them were deeply in love. No one could bear to disturb them. However, the more Ye Zhan looked at them, the more impatient he became. In his heart, he was anxious to get Ye Zhan to reply to Bai Fu's message.
"Are you guys done yet? Mr Bai is waiting for you to reply. Do you know what manners and respect are? Shuangyan, you kept telling him not to offend anyone. Isn't rejecting Mr Bai offending people?"
Ye Zhan couldn't wait any longer. It was such a big matter that the two of them seemed to have forgotten. They just kept waiting like this. Bai Fu would definitely get angry. It would not be good.
He did not respect others just because he had some ability, especially someone as important as Bai Fu. He really did not know the immensity of heaven and earth.
Ye Shuangyan looked at Ye Zhan with dissatisfaction, breaking the sweetness between the two.
"Call Mr Bai back. I believe you will be able to handle everything."
If Xiao Tian really became stronger, she did not want to drag Xiao Tian down. She would not become Xiao Tian's weakness. She would support Xiao Tian unconditionally.
Xiao Tian smiled in relief. Ye Shuangyan finally began to accept him. She took out her phone and called Bai Fu.
"I'm Xiao Tian. I'll take care of the meal."
Bai Fu, who was on the other end of the phone, knew it was Xiao Tian. He did not say anything on purpose because he was waiting for Xiao Tian's answer. He did not want to get Xiao Tian into trouble.
Ye Zhan wanted to grab the phone. How could he talk to Mr Bai like that?
"Haha, good. You decide the time and place."
Bai Fu was very excited when he heard Xiao Tian agree to his invitation. He felt honored to be able to have dinner with Xiao Tian.
"As you wish. I'll go with my wife."
"That's great. It's seven o'clock tonight. See you at the Purple Gold Hotel."
Xiao Tian hung up the phone.
Ye heard Xiao Tian's words and looked unhappy. Didn't he force Ye Shuangyan to marry Lee Zhen? He was showing off in front of him.
However, Ye Zhan also heaved a sigh of relief. He had finally seized the opportunity to curry favor with Mr Bai.
