Chapter 131 All Face Lost
Faced with Si Huajin's question, Liu Yifei seemed conflicted, but in reality, she didn't want to offend either side. She remained silent for several dozen seconds without giving any answer.
Noticing Yi Fei's thoughts, Liu Chun immediately devised a countermeasure: "See, Si Huajin? Your so-called 'good ideas' are completely unimportant to Liu Yi Fei. But that's not your fault. After all, you're not even an actor, so what acting skills could you possibly have?"
When Liu Chun turned to face Liu Yifei, she was very gentle and considerate: "Don't worry, I'll take you away from here later. You still owe me a chance to help you break free from the control over you, right? I have a way now."
Upon hearing this, Liu Yifei thought for a moment and nodded slightly in agreement. With so many dignitaries present, their attention was all focused on Si Huajin, and they did not notice her small gesture.
Feeling countless eyes staring at her from all around, Si Huajin was furious. She immediately ordered the "thugs" present to take Liu Chun down, as long as he couldn't speak again. Liu Yifei would then naturally agree to her request.
"All of you together..."
Suddenly, Si's father appeared from behind and slapped him hard on the head, silencing Si Huajin.
Then, Si's father appeared in front of Liu Chun and the others, and said to those around him, "Alright, there are so many guests here tonight, so don't make a move, get out of here!"
After receiving the order, those people immediately retreated back to where they had rushed in, and soon they all disappeared.
Just as Si Huajin realized what was happening, she was about to yell at her father to explain, but then she heard the voice of the man with the two iron fists: "Young master, your father is currently trying to rescue you. If you don't want all the nobles here to remember you, the best thing to do is to shut your mouth and wait until this matter is over."
If the source of this voice wasn't one of their own, Si Huajin wouldn't want to listen to it at all.
After carefully observing the current environment, he realized that he had indeed acted impulsively. Even with the help of many powerful forces behind him, he could not go crazy in front of all the nobles in the capital if he wanted to complete his grand plan. At least not now.
Seeing this, Liu Chun naturally wouldn't remain on high alert forever. He quickly relaxed and prepared to find a way to get Liu Yifei away from here.
"Young man, today is a banquet hosted by the Si family. If you can't come here to cause trouble, then I'm afraid it won't do."
Si's father kept staring at Liu Yifei behind Liu Chun, feeling that something was wrong with the child, but he couldn't quite put his finger on it.
From the moment she entered until now, she doesn't seem to have said a word, nor has she managed her facial expressions at all, maintaining a completely expressionless face.
What exactly happened? Xiao Huajin never mentioned it.
Si's father glanced at Si Huajin. Because he had done something wrong, he looked very shy at the moment. He didn't even look up to look around. His purpose was very clear: he wanted his father to handle this matter.
"Why not?" Liu Chun said directly, "I can ignore Si Huajin's banquet, but Liu Yifei didn't come here voluntarily, so even if I 'cause trouble,' I have to take her away. No one can stop me."
Unwilling?
From the moment Liu Chun appeared, Si's father had been hearing that Liu Yifei was likely forcibly brought to this banquet by his son.
In ancient times, how would this behavior be different from "abducting women from the people"?
Si's father was somewhat angry. Although the companies in the capital that belonged exclusively to the Si family were now thriving under Si Huajin's control and management, he had not made any special effort to find out what had happened in the process.
In his memory, Si Huajin had always performed well, so he would never do such a thing. At most, he would just be someone who was materialistic and would try to get close to her. How could he possibly do something like "forcibly taking a woman"?
"Is this true?" Father Si turned to ask. If it was true, there were so many powerful and influential people present today; it would take a lot of effort to resolve this.
Si Huajin raised his head, but everyone's attention was not on Liu Chun; instead, it was focused on him.
Si Huajin remained adamant: "How could I possibly do such a thing? My cousin Yifei might not be very talkative, and I personally invited her here. She hasn't even said anything yet, and you're trying to deny all my efforts based solely on her one-sided account?"
Because Liu Yifei was still under control at this time, she would not speak unless absolutely necessary.
Moreover, if Liu Chun hadn't come in person, this matter wouldn't have escalated so much. Besides, with his father taking action, who in the capital wouldn't give him face?
Upon hearing this, everyone's gaze shifted, and pairs of eyes fell upon Liu Chun, beginning to doubt his identity.
If they were to fall out with Si Huajin because of a few words from an outsider, that would be a problem for these powerful and wealthy people. After all, the Si family owns many companies that cover a wide range of industries, and many people have cooperative or cooperative relationships with them, and there are always some exchanges of interests.
Someone stepped forward and asked, "Who are you?"
Without thinking twice, Liu Chun immediately replied, "Of course I'm Liu Yifei's good friend!"
At this moment, the aunt and Pang Weixiong behind them both stood up and said that they could testify to this matter, and that it was normal for them to get together and have meals in private.
You have to understand that celebrities are human too. Apart from shining brightly on screen, they also eat, drink, and relieve themselves.
Besides, it's not an exaggeration to say that celebrities have their own small circles. It's not like celebrities have to be with each other to complement each other's influence. Nothing is impossible.
Some of the powerful and influential people quickly realized this, and turned to look at Si Huajin again, saying with great regret, "Young Master Si Huajin, I wonder if your good friend Liu Yifei knows that she is here?"
It's perfectly normal for good friends to care about each other. But if Si Huajin were to invite Liu Yifei to this banquet without her friends being able to contact her recently, then there would be a big problem.
Si Huajin explained directly, "These kinds of private activities don't need too many people to know about them, right? They're not agents, what good would it do them to know so much?"
The aunt next to Liu Yifei quickly explained, "Some of Yifei's friends contact her directly. I'm her agent, not Liu Yifei."
Awkward!
If Liu Yifei is constantly being watched by Si Huajin with ill intentions, and she can't find time to reply to her friends' text messages, then wouldn't that be a problem?
Ultimately, the biggest problem still lies with Si Huajin. Moreover, it's perfectly reasonable for her friends to come and take her away. How could Si Huajin, an outsider, possibly be Liu Yifei's cousin?
Pang Weixiong stepped forward and directly asked Si Huajin, "Can you now properly explain why you lied?"
With everyone chiming in, Si Huajin is now in a difficult position, and everyone knows that he didn't tell the truth. Now, it would be best to get a reasonable explanation as to whether Liu Yifei came here voluntarily.
Liu Chun laughed: "Didn't you do your homework beforehand? I thought this would be a lot of trouble, but it's over so quickly. It's a bit boring!"
