At first, he was stunned by the sight of her beauty, but then he looked suspiciously at his men standing to one side. Just as he was going to ask why she was there, Ji Yi saw him come in and suddenly got up from the sofa to dump a glass of beer on his head. Before he could speak, she said, “He Jichen, did you know there’s only twenty-five minutes until it’s my turn to perform? Do you think it’s cool to casually ambush people outside school? From the way I see it, it’s absolutely disgusting! Why don’t you learn from your brother?! Look at your older brother, then take a look at yourself…”
He Jichen was left bewildered by Ji Yi dumping beer on his face.
Each and every member of the gang was upset by Ji Yi’s sharp-tongued rant. So much so that someone angrily said, “You want to say that again? Who gave you the right to talk to Chen Ge like that?!”
“That’s right! Do you know how our Chen Ge treats you…”
Before the second person could finish, the silent He Jichen suddenly spoke up. “Enough!”
“Chen Ge, did you hear what she said about you? What’s more, what you did…”
“I said, enough!” He Jichen’s voice was so terrifyingly cold that it shocked everyone in the room into silence. They didn’t even dare breathe too loudly.
He Jichen’s dark eyes swept around the people in the room and asked, “Who brought her here?”
He was met with a wall of silence.
“Who brought her here?!” repeated He Jichen.
This time, a few of them obediently stepped forward with heads bowed, lacking the enthusiasm from earlier when they plotted to “invite” Ji Yi. “Chen Ge, we saw that she…”
He Jichen didn’t want to hear their excuses. He interrupted them and shouted, “Go apologize!”
The few of them who felt they did no wrong just stood there without flinching.
He Jichen roared again, “I said, go apologize!”
This time, several people faced Ji Yi and cried, “Sorry.”
He Jichen still looked upset as he waited for the final person to apologize. He then took a step aside and moved from the KTV room door. “I don’t care how you do it, but I’ll give you ten minutes to take her back to school! If you hold up her performance, you’ll have to face the consequences!”
They replied with a “yes” as someone called a taxi and the others escorted Ji Yi out.
In the end, Ji Yi didn’t care to wait for her escorts. Instead, she left the KTV place and hailed a taxi herself without even a glance at He Jichen’s guys.
That night, the carefully planned birthday celebrations for He Jichen fell to pieces.
That night, He Jichen lashed out at the guys in a fit of rage and warned them that he’d never forgive anyone who bothered Ji Yi. Then he yelled at everyone to leave.
