Chapter 105: Your Master Will Back You Up
Su Haochen was being choked so hard he couldn't breathe, and just as his eyes were about to roll back, Li Yuan slightly withdrew his oppressive aura.
"Cough cough! Cough..."
Su Haochen coughed until his face turned red. After finally catching his breath, he raised his eyes to meet Li Yuan's gaze and said tremblingly, "I... my Su family doesn't have that much money..."
Su Haochen felt extremely ashamed when he said those words.
In front of so many people, he dismantled his own family's backing. When has Su Haochen ever been so humiliated?
"Since you can't come up with the money, you should know exactly what you're planning to do," Li Yuan said coldly, glancing at Su Haochen.
The thought that this useless human had once been her fiancé made the emperor very unhappy, and he wished he could just cut the Gordian knot and kill him to save trouble.
Su Haochen felt a chill run down his spine, and panic crept onto his face: "I...I'm the eldest young master of the Su family! And I'm even married into the Ye family! Hurting me is tantamount to going against both the Su and Ye families!"
A hint of sarcasm flashed in Li Yuan's eyes: "If you become a cripple, I'd like to see if the Ye family will still protect you."
The boy's words plunged Su Haochen into an ice cave!
He knew better than anyone that family interests came first...
Once he loses his usefulness, even if he has a marriage alliance with the Ye family, the Ye family will definitely abandon him without hesitation!
Su Haochen's face was pale, and his hands were clenched into fists inside his sleeves.
No... the Su family still needs him to make a comeback! He can't become a cripple!
Absolutely not!
"What are you all doing here? Don't you have classes?"
A stern and cold voice suddenly rang out, and the Grand Elder, dressed in a white robe, walked slowly in, exuding an air of otherworldly elegance.
Also traveling with them were Huang Rongyu and the Seventh Elder.
Upon seeing the Grand Elder appear, the students scattered like a swarm of bees, going about their business as usual, not daring to crowd around.
The noisy scene from just moments ago fell eerily quiet in an instant.
When Huang Rongyu saw Li Yuan, she was slightly taken aback, but then she realized what he meant and asked, "You've returned from the Forest of Fireflies?"
"I'm back to collect my debts." Li Yuanyi uttered these four words in a succinct and startled manner.
Huang Rongyu asked in surprise: "Collecting a debt?"
What debt are you trying to collect?
Li Yuan didn't speak, but instead turned his gaze to Su Haochen.
Sweeping over him with that gaze, Su Haochen ran to the Grand Elder as if facing a formidable enemy and pleaded, "Grand Elder! Please save this student!"
The First Elder could sense the tension between Su Haochen and Li Yuan, so he coughed lightly and said seriously, "What happened? Tell me everything."
"I..." Su Haochen moved his lips, his heart filled with growing shame.
This is too embarrassing. Do I really have to say this in front of the First Elder, the Seventh Elder, and His Highness the Third Prince...?
Seeing his hesitant expression and the way he played with his hair, the Seventh Elder snorted coldly, "Just say what you mean. I hate people who stammer the most."
Su Haochen gritted his teeth, about to speak, but suddenly found himself strangely unable to make a sound!
A pressure was released silently upon him, causing him to tremble as his horrified gaze slowly turned toward Li Yuan.
Li Yuan slowly walked past Su Haochen to the Grand Elder, bowed and said, "Grand Elder, Master, this matter is related to Ye Fei, and I have no right to speak on her behalf."
The First Elder narrowed his eyes slightly: "Is it related to that girl Ye Fei?"
Upon hearing this, the Seventh Elder immediately exploded: "Xiao Fei'er's matter is my matter! Xiao Li, don't be afraid, just say it! Whatever happens, your master will back you up!"
