National Guardian's Gone and We're Done

Chapter 330 - 329: Obstructing at Every Turn, Do You Simply Look Down on People Like Us?

"From what I know, didn’t Sun Canxing’s family offend Yu Qiming’s father, Yu Hongtao?

Yu Qiming’s father even declared,

that no one in Haitong City would be allowed to become Sun Canxing’s Martial Arts instructor.

With that kind of conflict between them, how could Sun Canxing possibly become Yu Qiming’s ’prey’?"

Chu He asked, seemingly offhandedly.

"Hehe, Young Master He, you underestimate Young Master Yu Qiming.

It’s true that there was a conflict between Sun Canxing’s family and Yu Qiming’s father, Yu Hongtao,

but then Yu Qiming set his sights on Sun Canxing.

But when I say ’prey,’ I don’t mean he wants to marry her,

after all, someone from a family like hers isn’t nearly qualified to marry into a powerful family like theirs.

So, Young Master Yu Qiming just wants to play with her for a while,

and he’s not the type who likes to just throw money at people.

He prefers to treat beautiful girls like prey, slowly plotting his hunt.

Right now, Young Master Yu Qiming is most interested in this Sun Canxing.

We came here to get Sun Canxing to come to the party tonight.

From what I hear, Young Master Yu Qiming is running out of patience with her,

and he’s probably going to take her down for good tonight."

Meng Fan chuckled twice, a hint of envy on his face.

’Have to admit, that Sun Canxing is really something.’

’A young, beautiful high school girl who just came of age. She’s probably so tender you could squeeze water out of her.’

"You’ve got some nerve. Listening to you, it sounds like you’re interested in Sun Canxing too, wanting to make her your prey?"

Gu Chen asked teasingly.

Meng Fan quickly wiped the smile off his face and waved his hands frantically. "I never said that! Don’t joke around with me, I don’t have the guts... Hahaha."

Seeing Meng Fan’s panicked expression, Gu Chen waved him over. "Let’s hurry up and finish today’s task,

so we can get going.

I just borrowed a ten-million-class sports car from a close buddy of mine in a second-tier city. I’m going to show you guys what’s what on the track tonight."

"A ten-million-class sports car? What brand is it?"

Meng Fan was instantly intrigued.

The group walked toward the stall up ahead, engrossed in a heated discussion.

When she saw Meng Fan, Gu Chen, and the others,

Sun Canxing, who was busy working, visibly paused for a few seconds before resuming her tasks.

But when she caught sight of Chu He out of the corner of her eye, she froze again.

She clearly hadn’t expected Chu He to be hanging out with this group.

A flash of disappointment crossed Sun Canxing’s eyes. She had been wondering,

’Could this young man who just moved in next door be the number one expert on Blue Star?’

Even though she knew it was highly unlikely, a part of her still held onto a sliver of hope.

’After all, if he really is the number one expert on Blue Star,’

’maybe the predicament she and her family were facing could be easily resolved.’

But seeing Chu He laughing and chatting with these notorious rich kids,

Sun Canxing understood that it wasn’t just a low probability;

it was completely impossible for him to be the number one expert on Blue Star.

’Otherwise, how could such a figure possibly be fooling around with a group like this?’

When Sun Canxing’s mother, Li Ping, saw Meng Fan and Gu Chen’s group,

she wiped her hands on her clean apron,

and said with an obsequious smile, "Oh, it’s Young Master Meng Fan!

Whatever you’d like to eat, it’s on the house. And for the rest of you young masters, it’s all free."

When she saw Chu He, Li Ping’s reaction was identical to her daughter’s—complete shock.

She just couldn’t figure it out.

’Anyone who can hang out with Meng Fan and Gu Chen must be a rich kid too,’

’but why would someone like that rent a place in a rundown building in their old part of town?’

Li Ping was completely baffled.

"Cut the crap. I’m here today to pass on a message from Young Master Yu Qiming."

Meng Fan waved his hand impatiently.

The thought that such a prime high school girl couldn’t be his prey irritated Meng Fan. "The Haitong City Luxury Car Association is having a party tonight,

and Young Master Yu Qiming wants to invite you to come and have some fun.

You must have noticed by now that Young Master Yu Qiming has been quite interested in you.

If you agree to his request tonight,

the matter of you being unable to find a Martial Arts instructor, as well as your father’s problem,

might just get resolved."

As soon as Meng Fan said this, Li Ping, who was busy working, heard him.

She quickly grabbed a few chilled drinks from a foam cooler and offered them to the young masters. "Young Master Meng Fan,

the thing is, this girl has to help me work late tonight.

By the time we close up, go home, and prepare the ingredients for tomorrow, we’ll be busy until after midnight.

She really doesn’t have the time."

Having knocked around in the real world for so many years, Li Ping naturally knew how disgustingly these young masters behaved.

There was no way she could let her daughter go to a party with them.

Otherwise, it would be like sending a lamb into a tiger’s den.

But faced with the offered drinks,

Meng Fan impatiently slapped them to the ground. "I’ve already told you clearly,

I’m just here to deliver a message.

If your daughter, Sun Canxing, doesn’t show up at the party tonight,

believe me when I say there won’t be a single place in all of Haitong City where you can set up your stall. You believe that?

And I can guarantee that you won’t get a single customer on this food street."

Li Ping’s face instantly turned pale.

She knew that someone like Meng Fan could do exactly what he said.

Besides, this food street belonged to his family.

If Meng Fan was determined to do it, he really could make it so that not a single customer came to the entire street.

But her family of three relied on this food cart to survive.

If Meng Fan cut off their source of income, all three of them would be finished.

Several chilled drinks fell to the ground. One of the cans split open on impact, spraying fizzy soda everywhere.

She had been hoping her daughter would get into a Martial Arts Academy in the Royal City—ideally, the National Road Academy.

Then their whole family’s fortunes would rise, and they would never have to stay in this dark Haitong City again.

But she never imagined that a powerful figure could make it hard for their family to even breathe just by saying the word.

Looking at her daughter, whose hands were clenched into fists,

Li Ping tugged on Sun Canxing’s hand, signaling her not to be impulsive. Then, she forced another smile at Meng Fan. "You are all great young masters, born with silver spoons,

a small family like ours can’t possibly afford to offend you. Can’t you be the bigger person and let us go?"

With these words, Li Ping was basically spelling it out.

"Let you go? We haven’t done anything to you."

Meng Fan chuckled. "We’re just asking your precious daughter, Sun Canxing, to come to our party tonight. We’re all young people. We have a lot in common. We’ll chat, have a meal.

What’s the problem with that?

But you’re doing everything you can to stop her. You must be looking down on us, right?"
