"Let bygones be bygones?"
Upon hearing this, Li Se almost thought he had misheard. Was this woman out of her mind, still acting so high and mighty?
It was as if being favored by her was some great honor.
"Then please don't favor me," Li Se waved his hand. "I'm not here to discuss this with you today."
Xu Xiaoyu frowned slightly and said, "I'm willing to let bygones be bygones, and you're still not happy? Or do you think just anyone can be my fiancé? I am Xu Xiaoyu, the eldest daughter of the Xu family. If I favor you, you should be happy!"
"Don't press your luck!" Zhao Bingbing snorted coldly.
Xu Xiaoyu was beautiful, had a good figure, and a prominent family background. She was undoubtedly the dream girl of many men, but for Li Se, these held no allure.
"Xu Xiaoyu, right?"
Li Se narrowed his eyes and said, "You were the one who sent people to crash into the Qiao family, weren't you? Are you the one behind it all?"
"So what if I am?"
Xu Xiaoyu didn't see anything wrong. "What are your women? Do they deserve to fight with me for a man? They're dead, just lives of no consequence. As for the Qiao Corporation, I can make them go out of business with a single word. Are there any problems with that?"
"Lives of no consequence?" Li Se felt a surge of anger.
"That's right, what's wrong with that?" Xu Xiaoyu sneered. "They come from humble origins. If I call them lives of no consequence, do you think I'm wrong? If they're run over and die, they die. You don't need to care about those people. I'm giving you a chance now. If you're willing, we can reinstate the engagement. After all, you are excellent and have a good family background; you are worthy of me!"
"Xiaoyu, won't you reconsider?" Zhao Bingbing's impression of Li Se was not good.
"Bingbing, there's nothing to reconsider. In the entire capital, this guy is indeed outstanding. Even Ye Bowen of the Ye family is not as good as him. I heard Ye Bowen has been humiliated by him several times," Xu Xiaoyu said with a smile.
Zhao Bingbing felt helpless and said nothing more.
"I'm very sorry, but the engagement cannot be reinstated, because I don't find you appealing." Li Se said, word for word.
As soon as he said this, Xu Xiaoyu was stunned, and even Zhao Bingbing was stunned. They could hardly believe what they had heard.
What did he mean by "don't find you appealing"?
"You say you don't find me appealing?" Xu Xiaoyu's eyes widened, and she glared at Li Se.
"Yes, I don't find you appealing!" Li Se said very bluntly. "And I'm not here to discuss the engagement. That's not important."
Not important?
Upon hearing this, Xu Xiaoyu slammed the table and shouted, "Li Se, what do you mean? Do you think I'm not good enough for you? Don't forget, you're just an illegitimate child. The Li family hasn't even acknowledged you yet. It's your honor that I'm willing to marry you. And with my Xu family's help, even if the Li family doesn't want to acknowledge you, they'll have to. Do you understand?"
"Are you done?" Li Se asked indifferently.
"Don't you have anything to say?" Xu Xiaoyu said angrily. This guy was infuriating. He had even forgotten himself earlier. She was willing to let bygones be bygones, and now he dared to say he didn't find her appealing. It was simply outrageous.
"I said, I'm not here to discuss the engagement. I'm here about your actions against the Qiao family," Li Se said calmly.
Xu Xiaoyu smiled. "What, you want to avenge those lives of no consequence? Oh, right, that damned woman named Qiao Weiwei. It's a shame she wasn't run over last time..."
Slap!
Before she could finish speaking, Li Se had already slapped her, sending Xu Xiaoyu flying and crashing heavily to the ground.
"Ah..." Xu Xiaoyu cried out in pain. She really hadn't expected Li Se to dare to lay a hand on her.
"Li Se, how dare you?" Zhao Bingbing was furious. How dare he make a move in front of her? This was utterly lawless. She immediately reached out and struck at Li Se.
"Ignorance!" Li Se snorted coldly. He was enraged this time, unlike last time. He wouldn't show any mercy. With a raise of his hand, he sent Zhao Bingbing flying. Zhao Bingbing's strength was no match for him.
"Li Se, you're dead! How dare you hit me? The Xu family won't let you go..." Xu Xiaoyu yelled.
"You'd better see if I'll let you go first."
Li Se walked towards Xu Xiaoyu with a cold expression, saying as he walked, "Xu Xiaoyu, I don't care how superior you think you are, or if you think everyone else has lives of no consequence. But if you touch someone close to me, you will pay the price. Don't think you're just the eldest daughter of the Xu family. Even if you were the King of Heaven, I would still take you down!"
As he spoke, he picked up Xu Xiaoyu without any gentleness, and slapped her again and again.
Slap, slap, slap, slap...
Her once beautiful face was soon unrecognizable, even to her own parents.
"Wuwuwu..." Xu Xiaoyu sobbed in pain.
"Li Se, that's the eldest daughter of the Xu family! You're playing with fire!" Zhao Bingbing said furiously.
Li Se acted as if he hadn't heard her. He grabbed Xu Xiaoyu's clothes and, with a ripping sound, tore them apart, then threw them on the ground.
Xu Xiaoyu was now exposed, but unfortunately, her excellent figure no longer matched her disfigured face.
Crack, crack!
Li Se took out his phone, took several photos of Xu Xiaoyu, and then said lightly, "If there's a next time, I'll send these photos of you to everyone in the capital."
Xu Xiaoyu trembled with fear, cowering in the corner.
Zhao Bingbing quickly ran over, took off her own jacket, covered Xu Xiaoyu with it, and said angrily, "You will pay the price!"
"Price?"
Li Se tilted his head and looked at Zhao Bingbing. "You're really interesting. I heard you're the captain of the enforcement team. You're also so close to Xu Xiaoyu. You should know what she's done. She sent people with a group of ancient martial artists to Qingyun City and used underhanded methods to seize businesses. You don't seem to care at all, nor do you intervene. You're truly a good captain. Or perhaps, you think it's the Xu family and you can't afford to offend them?"
Zhao Bingbing's face turned red, but she retorted, "As I said, seizing businesses is seizing businesses. If the Xu family is behind it, that's reality. That's why our enforcement team doesn't intervene. Do you think there's a problem with that?"
"Haha!"
Li Se burst into laughter and replied, "No problem at all!"
