Chapter 573: Chapter 573 Soft Whispers
When Lin Fei was talking to Li Xuechun and Jiang Yi, he had already exchanged a look with Leng Ying.
After getting a definite response from Leng Ying’s eyes, Lin Fei knew that Leng Ying had brought back the money.
So, he remained calm and composed, and only at this moment did he ask Leng Ying to bring in the money.
The reason Leng Ying brought back four or five bank staff was because the bank was right next to the hotel, very close, and he was afraid that Jiang Yi might want to count the cash.
That’s why he brought them back to the suite.
Jiang Yi finally snapped out of his shock and anger, and facing Lin Fei’s teasing, he gritted his teeth and said, “No need to count, you’re quite something!” After speaking, Jiang Yi tossed the contract he was holding onto the sofa next to Lin Fei: “Here’s the contract.”
Then, he looked coldly at Li Xuechun and said, “No wonder you’re not interested in me; turns out you’ve found someone rich. I thought you were pure, but it seems you’re just a money-minded woman.”
Li Xuechun bit her red lip, feeling inexplicably furious at Jiang Yi’s insult.
But she said nothing because she knew Jiang Yi was wealthy and powerful; she couldn’t possibly deal with him.
However, the thought of finally being free from the control of Jiang Yi’s company made her feel an indescribable relief.
She looked at Lin Fei with grateful eyes, silently vowing in her heart: Lin Fei helped terminate her contract for thirty million, one day she will repay him!
“Boss Jiang, I’ve already paid you the penalty fee, from now on Li Xuechun is officially free from any employment relationship with you. Whether she likes me or my money, it has nothing to do with you.” Lin Fei said bluntly to Jiang Yi.
Then, Lin Fei no longer looked at Jiang Yi’s enraged face, picked up the contract from the sofa, and walked towards Li Xuechun.
“Xue Chun, today is the day you regain your freedom, let’s celebrate well, I’ll take you out for a Western dinner.” Like a gentleman, Lin Fei spoke to Li Xuechun with a refined and courteous smile.
Li Xuechun was charmed by Lin Fei’s gentlemanly smile; she never expected him to have such a gentlemanly demeanor.
It gave her a feeling of being cherished in someone’s palm, a truly wonderful feeling.
Something she had never experienced before.
She stared at Lin Fei blankly, gently nodding her head, with a youthful shyness.
This made Jiang Yi burn with jealousy.
The next moment, Lin Fei reached out, gently taking hold of Li Xuechun’s slender waist, whispering affectionately in her ear: “Xue Chun, let’s go!”
Li Xuechun was caught off guard when Lin Fei suddenly held her waist, and with Lin Fei whispering softly in her ear like an intimate lover, her heartbeat inexplicably quickened, her face flushed with embarrassment, her eyes glowed with a shy expression.
“Hmm…”
Thus, Lin Fei walked out of the room with his arm around Li Xuechun’s waist, Leng Ying following closely behind.
Jiang Yi watched Lin Fei and Li Xuechun leave, his eyes wide and terribly threatening, as if he wanted to kill someone.
Earlier, Lin Fei had intimately taken hold of Li Xuechun’s waist right in front of him, as if an invisible knife stabbed into his heart.
This must be deliberate!
Lin Fei was intentionally flaunting his affection for Li Xuechun in front of him.
“Boss, do you want me to stop them?” At this moment, a bodyguard rushed in from outside the room, eyes glinting coldly as he asked Jiang Yi.
Jiang Yi, though full of anger.
Still, he restrained his rage and said to the bodyguard: “No need, just keep an eye on them for me.”
“Yes, boss.” The bodyguard answered, then left the room.
Jiang Yi’s eyes flashed with a sharp edge.
Who was he?
Presiding over Celestial Dragon Entertainment Film and Television Company, worth billions, personally dealing with someone like Lin Fei?
He was afraid of dirtying his hands.
But he would never let Lin Fei off.
After Lin Fei, Li Xuechun, and Leng Ying left the hotel, Leng Ying drove the Mercedes over.
The Mercedes was a car from Su Zhenjiang’s villa in Hong Kong, borrowed from Su Zhenjiang by Leng Ying for temporary use.
The three got in the car, with Leng Ying driving, he asked, “Lin Fei, where do we go?”
Seated in the back, Lin Fei said to Leng Ying: “Find a Western restaurant to eat.”
“Alright.” Leng Ying agreed, driving away.
A high-end Western restaurant in the city center.
The environment was elegant and quiet.
In a private booth, Lin Fei, Li Xuechun, and Leng Ying sat at the table.
A well-dressed server laid out Western dishes like steaks, foie gras, brandy, lobsters, and fine wines one by one.
“Please enjoy slowly!” The server said after placing the dishes on the table, then left the booth.
The three started to eat.
“Lin Fei, thank you for terminating my contract, and for the thirty million penalty fee, I will definitely repay you.” Li Xuechun said to Lin Fei.
Lin Fei, however, looked indifferent and said, “You don’t need to repay that thirty million. For me, the thirty million was just to buy some happiness, to see Jiang Yi’s embarrassing look.
Plus, allowing you to escape from Jiang Yi’s harassment is also a good deed.”
Li Xuechun was stunned to hear Lin Fei’s words: did Lin Fei spend thirty million just to buy happiness, just to see Jiang Yi embarrassed?
And to do a good deed?
However, Li Xuechun thought of the Hong Kong tycoons who often donate billions a year for charity; it seemed not strange for Lin Fei to spend three million on a good deed.
At this moment, Lin Fei had already become a wealthy, low-profile tycoon in Li Xuechun’s heart.
“Tell me about your boss, Jiang Yi, what kind of person is he?” Lin Fei asked curiously to Li Xuechun.
Li Xuechun said: “He is the owner of Hong Kong’s largest entertainment film and television company; he has great power and vast connections. It is said he also has very close ties with Hong Kong’s black power.”
Lin Fei frowned and said: “Even though I have terminated the contract for you, I’m afraid Jiang Yi will not give up. I think it’s best for you and your family to move out from where you live currently, to avoid Jiang Yi showing up!”
“Lin Fei, a few months ago, to prevent any unforeseen events, I had my parents return to Shencheng under the guise of visiting relatives, where our relatives could take care of them. As for me, I plan to live at my best female classmate’s house.
She is from a family with power and influence, so even if Jiang Yi wanted to trouble me, he would have to consider her family’s influence.” Li Xuechun seemed quite confident in saying.
Lin Fei nodded: “That’s good.”
Li Xuechun, however, looked at Lin Fei with some worry: “But I’m worried Jiang Yi will not let you go.”
“You don’t need to worry about me.” Lin Fei said calmly.
An hour later, the three of them finished their Western meal.
Lin Fei said to Leng Ying: “Send Li Xuechun to her classmate’s house, make sure she’s safe all the way.”
Leng Ying nodded: “Understood.”
Li Xuechun looked up at Lin Fei, feeling indescribably attached.
Upon leaving him, she might never see Lin Fei again.
“Lin Fei, goodbye.” She felt she had a lot to say to Lin Fei but only managed to utter these few simple words.
“Goodbye.” Lin Fei gave her a slight smile.
This smile of Lin Fei, she would recall at times many years later.
Li Xuechun got into Leng Ying’s car and left.
Meanwhile, Lin Fei remained in the restaurant booth, slowly sipping his red wine.
Half an hour later, Leng Ying returned, saying to Lin Fei: “Lin Fei, guess where Li Xuechun went?”
Lin Fei said: “Didn’t she say to her best classmate’s house?”
Leng Ying nodded: “Her best classmate’s house is indeed Guan Yuxuan’s house.”
A hint of surprise appeared on Lin Fei’s face.
