Chapter 1096: Chapter 1096

"Yang Fei, don’t get agitated. Brother Ji’an is actually saying something simple because he doesn’t want to be enemies with you anymore," Yang Wei explained gently from the side.

It turns out that, after Sun Ji’an discovered Gao Sichun’s betrayal, he immediately chose to break up, without even listening to half a sentence of explanation.

After that, Sun Ji’an arranged for people to start following Zhang Zhiqian.

Although he knew that Zhang Zhiqian had a powerful backing, if he could catch Zhang Zhiqian’s wrongdoing, he naturally wouldn’t fear him.

But unexpectedly, in less than a day, Sun Ji’an really obtained the evidence he wanted.

With the video in hand, he had tons of ways to bring down Zhang Zhiqian. Even if Zhang Zhiqian’s backing was strong, it was useless.

"Brother Wei, I don’t care about what happened between Sun Ji’an and Gao Sichun. My feud with him won’t disappear just because Sun Ji’an broke up with Gao Sichun. Please don’t intervene in this matter. It’s not that I don’t respect you as a younger brother, but I can’t swallow this insult. I, Yang Fei, damn well don’t want to be treated like a fool!" Even though Sun Ji’an broke up with Gao Sichun, Yang Fei was somewhat pleased.

However, the mere thought that Gao Sichun turned out to be such an unprincipled woman filled his heart with endless hatred.

On one hand, this woman was once his most deeply loved, and on the other hand, her betrayal deeply ingrained her in Yang Fei’s heart as a loathsome person.

He never imagined that this woman could be so lacking in self-respect. It’s just a talent show; if you fail, you’re eliminated, you could simply give up. Why abandon even your own dignity!

Yang Fei felt very uncomfortable. In fact, he didn’t realize that Li Changlin felt similarly uneasy.

Just now, Sun Ji’an’s words suddenly enlightened Li Changlin, making him immediately think of Xu Xin who was sadly eliminated today.

Xu Xin is a member of Zhang Zhiqian’s team. Having been eliminated today, she would definitely seek a mentor for a revival. After all, her elimination today wasn’t due to poor performance; bolstered by Ye Xiyao and Bai Ziyu, Liu Dongyu won not through real strength.

However, being eliminated means she was still a loser on stage, regardless of what anyone or Xu Xin herself thinks.

Li Changlin believes that with Xu Xin’s character, she would absolutely not give up.

Therefore, to get revived sooner, under the implications of Zhang Zhiqian, what Xu Xin ought to do was clear to Li Changlin without much thought about the potential consequences.

That woman once said she’d rather cry in a Firefox Car than laugh on a bicycle.

With an annoyed shake of his head, Li Changlin tossed these unsettling thoughts out of his mind.

Though he had let go and fallen out of love, the emotional pain persisted, for both himself and for Xu Xin.

"Yang Fei, I admit I went too far in the past. State your demands; I’m willing to compensate," Sun Ji’an yelled once again, his nature bold, not minding others knowing his stance.

Upon hearing this, Yang Fei’s expression darkened, and he coldly declared, "I don’t want any compensation; just wait for me at the Sun family three months from jetzt. Sun Ji’an, remember how you humiliated me that day; I’ll settle all scores with you then!"

"Yang Fei, you’ve gone too far!" Yang Wei’s face slightly changed, a trace of annoyance flickering in his eyes.

If it weren’t for Yang Fei giving up his shares, he wouldn’t even have stepped forward to play mediator.

In reality, Yang Fei’s fate had nothing to do with him. If it weren’t for acquiring Yang Fei’s shares, Yang Wei would worry that Yang Fei could be killed within a few months, prompting gossip among family members. Why should he show deference to Sun Ji’an when they were both legitimate heirs of second-tier families?

"Brother Wei, this matter doesn’t concern you; thank you for your kindness. There can be no reconciliation between me and Sun Ji’an!" Yang Fei could certainly not appreciate the gesture, as it related to a man’s dignity.

If he continued to be as weak as before, Li Changlin might just give up on him entirely.

"Yang Fei, don’t regret this!" Yang Wei was so furious he wanted to slap Yang Fei awake.

Three months, Yang Fei thought to face Sun Ji’an alone in three months—are you brain-damaged!

Yang Wei was speechless, feeling that when heaven wants to destroy a man, it first makes him mad.

Yang Fei’s choice undoubtedly put him in a dead-end, and even if Yang Wei tried to help, it would be futile.

"Yang Wei, you see, now it’s not that I don’t give you face, it’s that Yang Fei clearly doesn’t want to let me go." Watching Yang Wei’s irritated appearance, Sun Ji’an spread his hands and sneered sinisterly.

He actually had no intention of reconciling; it was only because Yang Wei personally came to speak good words for Yang Fei that Sun Ji’an reluctantly gave him some face.

That day, because of Li Changlin’s intervention, he lost great face, even Uncle Cai was wasted by him. Sun Ji’an, a legitimate heir of a second-tier family, was not accustomed to suffering losses without seeking redress.

"Whatever!" Yang Wei helplessly shook his head, brushing an annoyed glance at Yang Fei.

"Brother Wei, don’t worry too much, I’ll be fine," Yang Fei could somewhat guess Yang Wei’s concerns. He knew that Yang Wei was worried that after acquiring his shares, an incident involving him might accidentally drag Yang Wei into an undeserved disaster, potentially even affecting the competition for the position of Family Head.

"How can I not worry!" Yang Wei shook his head with a bitter smile but no longer tried to persuade further. He knew that now Yang Fei had his mind set, stubborn as a mule. He wouldn’t stop until he had fought Sun Ji’an to the end.

Was this even possible?

Yang Wei asked himself. Not to mention Yang Fei, even if it were him, Yang Wei, with only Mid-stage Ming Jin skills, how could he possibly breakthrough to Mid-stage Inner Strength within three months!

Not to mention, in these three months, Sun Ji’an would definitely redouble his efforts. Being the legitimate heir of the Sun family, the resources at Sun Ji’an’s disposal were simply incomparable to Yang Fei’s!

"Fine, since you, Yang Fei, won’t drop the matter, then I, Sun Ji’an, shall wait for you, farewell!" Despite today’s gathering being organized by Yang Wei, and although Sun Ji’an dearly wanted to kill Li Changlin and Yang Fei, he ultimately retained his rationality.
