Chapter 147: Beat You? I'll Beat You to Death!

With the appearance of Chen Muxue, the atmosphere reached its peak, and everyone present waited in anticipation for her reaction.

At this moment, the only person feeling thoroughly displeased was Su Zheng.

He never imagined that a scumbag like Ye Lang could be so shameless as to publicly pursue his wife. However, he managed to suppress his inner anger, wanting to see how Chen Muxue would handle Ye Lang's advance.

"Mr. Ye, I suspect something is wrong with your brain!"

Chen Muxue said coldly, "My husband and I have been married for two years. Are you trying to be funny?!"

"Uh..."

The surrounding onlookers were momentarily stunned by Chen Muxue's words, but soon, meaningful smiles crept onto their faces.

"So he's trying to poach someone else's wife all along, hehe... Now this is getting interesting."

"Pfft, what's wrong with poaching? Such an outstanding man is definitely worth considering, in my opinion."

"Right, he's handsome, wealthy, and hands out luxury cars just like that. I bet her husband could never be that generous. That's life for you—it's all about the money!"

"Look at what she's wearing; not a single designer brand in sight. Her life must be quite bitter right now. If I were her, I'd just accept this young master and live in luxury from now on!"

"..."

Even after learning Chen Muxue's marital status, many young people in the crowd continued to whisper and voice their opinions.

Listening to the surrounding murmurs, the smile on Ye Lang's face deepened.

Although Chen Muxue had rejected him flatly, it didn't affect him at all. On the contrary, it made him appreciate her personality even more.

"Hehe... Muxue, I know you're married, but what kind of future can you possibly have following that freeloading piece of trash? My home is in Kyoto; I'm only in Qingyang to temporarily expand my business. Once things settle down here, I can take you back to Kyoto and let you experience what a truly refined life is like!"

"Gasp..."

Ye Lang's words immediately caused a considerable commotion at the scene. Hearing that he came from Kyoto, the crowd regarded him with even greater reverence and envy.

Coming from Kyoto to manage a business in Qingyang clearly indicated that he belonged to a prominent family in the capital. Such background and status were enough to make many young women present eager to throw themselves at him.

Countless girls cast looks of intense jealousy and envy toward Chen Muxue, wishing they could take her place and win Ye Lang's favor.

"Ahem... Am I the only one who noticed? That young master just said this woman's husband is a freeloading piece of trash. Could he possibly be..."

At this moment, someone who loved stirring up trouble half-spoke in the crowd.

"Oh yeah, a freeloader must mean he has no job. And as for calling him trash—how useless does a grown man have to be to end up as a matrilocal son-in-law?"

"Hahaha..."

A burst of laughter erupted from the crowd.

Chen Muxue's expression turned extremely unsightly. She shot Ye Lang another icy glare, frowned, and said,

"Where you're from and why you're in Qingyang have nothing to do with me, nor do I have any interest in knowing. So, please leave immediately before I call security to throw you out!"

Hearing this, Ye Lang remained completely unfazed, the smile never leaving his face.

"Fine, I can leave right now, but I have one request. I bought this car specifically for you, so please accept it no matter what. Frankly, given your image, driving that Mazda beneath your dignity."

With that, he pulled a set of car keys from his pocket, deliberately letting everyone around see them as he explained, "This Porsche 718 is the top-of-the-line trim, a purely imported model. The domestic price is roughly between nine hundred thousand and one million, and normally you'd have to wait over half a year just to get one off the lot. Since I'm friends with the domestic Porsche dealer, they shipped it over in less than a month."

Ye Lang's words once again provoked gasps and envious whispers from the surroundings. The onlookers gazed at the fiery red sports car with eyes full of greed and fervent longing.

Driving a sports car like that out on the street would be breathtakingly cool!

Ye Lang looked immensely smug. He thoroughly enjoyed this feeling, basking in the sea of admiring and awe-struck faces, which massaged his ego deeply.

Of course, he paid even closer attention to Chen Muxue's expression, fully believing she wouldn't be able to resist such blatant temptation.

"Enough! Is there something wrong with your head?!"

Unable to take it any longer, Chen Muxue scolded him with burning shame and annoyance, "You underestimate me far too much, Chen Muxue. I'm not like the other women you've met before. All these things of yours are worth less than a penny in my eyes. You'd better get lost right now, or else, believe me, my husband will beat you to a pulp when he gets here!"

At this rebuke, Ye Lang finally frowned slightly. However, the corners of his mouth quickly curled up again, and just as he was about to say something else, a sudden blur flashed before his eyes.

"Crack!"

A heavy slap landed squarely on his left cheek!

Immediately following that, a kick landed right in the pit of his stomach, sending Ye Lang stumbling backward several steps before he collapsed onto the ground, hugging his stomach and curling his body like a boiled prawn.

Su Zheng could no longer hold back. He felt a pang of regret that he hadn't shown up sooner.

"Ugh... You... you dare hit me?!" Ye Lang's entire face turned the color of pork liver as he pointed shakily at Su Zheng, roaring with sinister fury.

"Hit you? I'll beat you to death!" With a chilling gaze, Su Zheng stepped closer and delivered two more kicks that sent Ye Lang rolling far away.

The surrounding onlookers were momentarily stunned by this turn of events, but some quickly recovered their wits.

It was obvious that Chen Muxue's husband had arrived at the scene!

The onlookers were first startled, and then many wore expressions of disdain and contempt.

"He really is just a brute. What good is having brute strength? Now that he's beaten a young aristocrat from Kyoto, he's probably going to prison!"

"If you don't have the money to give your wife a better life, you should learn to let go! How can you expect a young woman to suffer hardship right along with you?"

"Right! If you can't give a woman what she wants, don't drag her down with you!"

"The guy gave her a Porsche sports car, and what about him? Don't tell me he rode here on a bicycle?!"

"Hahaha..."

"..."

The onlookers whispered among themselves, sneering at Su Zheng with utter contempt, holding very little favorable opinion of him.

In truth, society was full of people like this, born with a subservient bone in their bodies, always eager to kiss up to the wealthy.

Su Zheng wanted to continue teaching Ye Lang a lesson, but Chen Muxue pulled him back.

With so many people around, if he really beat Ye Lang into a serious injury, there was no telling what kind of trouble it might stir up.

"Alright, get the hell out of here! Who the hell gives a crap about your cheap junk? Let me tell you, if you ever dare harass Muxue again, I'll beat you every single time I see you!"

Su Zheng rebuked him angrily.

"Ha! Aren't you afraid your tongue will slip from talking big? You call this Porsche cheap junk? Let's see you pull one out and show it to me, if you've got the ability!"

Staggering to his feet, Ye Lang brushed the dirt off his clothes and continued to taunt Su Zheng with an arrogant expression, "Su Zheng, it's not that I look down on you, but the tiny bit of loose change in your pocket right now couldn't even buy a single wheel on this car!"
