Chapter 24 No Matter Who He Is, I Will Fight!_1

"You'll regret this!"

Lin Bufan clenched his teeth in hatred, but he didn't dare to act recklessly in front of Chu Ran, so he could only leave in an embarrassed manner.

He could only hope that Li Shaofeng wouldn't make him wait too long!

"Do you know who he is?"

A look of inconceivability covered Chu Ran's exquisite face.

Possibly, she need not take the Lin Family of East Sea Domain's capital city seriously, but ironically, her mother's maiden family was the Wang Family of the East Sea Domain, which had been on friendly terms with the Lin Family for generations.

So this person was very tricky!

"No matter who he is, as long as he upsets you, I'll still beat him without hesitation!"

Zhou Yuan's tone was extremely sincere.

He was grateful to Chu Ran, eager to do anything within his power to help.

Wei Shen mocked scornfully, "You are only so brazen because you have Miss Chu backing you up. In the end, she will have to clean up your mess from your recklessness!"

From start to finish, he didn't put Zhou Yuan in his eyes.

His arrogance far exceeded his abilities.

"Elder Wei, don't say that!"

Chu Ran's brows frowned gently. Perhaps there was some truth to it, but she firmly believed that one day, Zhou Yuan would make everyone take notice!

"Did I say something wrong?"

Wei Shen's tone was very unpleasant, "To put it more bluntly, he's nothing but a pretty boy who rides on others' coattails!"

Even with Zhou Yuan's good temper, his patience had run out, "Mr. Wei, I respect you only because you're someone Miss Chu cares about."

"If you insist on targeting me, then you're not worthy of my respect in my eyes!"

"Also, I am willing to bear all consequences alone and will not cause any trouble for Miss Chu!"

Anger!

True anger!

He could endure, but not mindlessly tolerate everything!

"You bear it?"

"Can you handle it?"

Wei Shen mocked scornfully, "Lin Bufan is the heir to the provincial city Lin Family. There are few families throughout the entire East Sea Domain that can match them!"

"And you, in the small Jiang City, even have to rely on Miss Chu for support all this way, what grounds do you have to talk big?"

Zhou Yuan was speechless!

Not because he didn't dare to respond, but because he feared that saying more might hurt Chu Ran, so he endured it. Yet, the determination in his eyes only grew stronger.

He didn't want to refuse Chu Ran's kindness, but one day, he would use his own strength to carve out a place for himself.

No one would look down on him again!

"Enough!"

Chu Ran was clearly angry as well, "Zhou Yuan, step outside for a moment!"

Zhou Yuan's eyebrows knitted slightly, but he still chose to leave.

He didn't want to make things difficult for Chu Ran, that was all!

The living room fell silent!

After a long while, Wei Shen finally spoke, "Miss, although I don't know what tricks he has used to bewitch you, I am certain, he has made every effort to get close to you, just to climb his way up to the Chu Family."

"Such a person is not worthy of trust!"

"Even more, he will bring shame to the Chu Family!"

He had always been loyal, and he had never liked Zhou Yuan. Now that Zhou Yuan had hit Lin Bufan, the lady would certainly face trouble from the madam.

That's why he spoke so harshly!

"Trust my judgment, he will achieve success. Jiang City can't contain him, and Lin Bufan will only be a stepping stone on his path to success!"

Chu Ran's gaze was firm, "On his road to success, everyone may obstruct him, but you cannot!"

She valued her relationship with Wei Shen, but she didn't want to be questioned like this either.

Moreover, Zhou Yuan's presence had brought her lots of happiness in life—something no one else could give.

"Miss..."

Wei Shen's brows furrowed, "With what will he achieve success?"

"This society isn't one where you can succeed just by being able to fight!"

"Money, power, which doesn't trump martial force?"

Every single word he said came from the heart. Success was never that easy, was it?

Neither the Chu Family nor the Lin Family were successful because of one person.

Instead, it was the whole family, even generations of ancestors' accumulation, that led to their status today.

"Just because he is the son of Zhou Qingtian!"

Chu Ran spoke with conviction, then added, "Give me one month. If he can't stand at the pinnacle of Jiang City, I'll leave this city myself!"

"If he can, then I ask you to treat him with respect from now on, just like you respect me!"

She had always regarded Wei Shen as family, otherwise, she wouldn't have said so much.

Such sincere words were also because she didn't want to be forced one day in the future to choose between Wei Shen and Zhou Yuan.

Wei Shen was briefly stunned, truly not expecting Miss Chu to say such words for a man she had just met. He instantly responded, "Starting today, if he can reach the pinnacle of Jiang City within a month, I won't interfere in the slightest afterward."

"But if he can't, please don't blame me, Miss Chu, for exercising my duties. I won't allow anyone to threaten your safety!"

From what he could see, Zhou Yuan reaching the pinnacle of Jiang City within a month was simply impossible.

Even with Miss Chu's help, Zhou Yuan might not be able to grasp the opportunity!

So, he believed he was certain to win!

"Anyone who underestimates him will pay the price. I don't hope that one day in the future, you will get hurt because of this!"

"He is a dragon meant to soar above the nine skies!"

Chu Ran spoke without reservation, hoping that Wei Shen would gain a deep understanding: "Also, he is not a brute. He only acts recklessly for the people he cares about!"

"Furthermore, his medical skills are no less than those of the saints in National Medical Hall!"

"The Tempering Elixir, I've tried it in my family, but it was of little effect!"

"But his Tempering Elixir has greatly strengthened my constitution!"

"You simply don't understand him, even I can't see through him!"

Shock filled Wei Shen's eyes!

It was the first time Miss Chu had such high hopes for a man.

Had he really made a mistake?

After leaving the restaurant and stepping outside, Chu Ran wore an apologetic smile, "Actually, Elder Wei is quite good, he's just considering my safety!"

Zhou Yuan smiled and said, "I know!"

"By the way, Miss Chu, since you have some time now, I'd like to help you with driving out the cold in your body again!"

Chu Ran's condition couldn't be cured in one go.

And his ability had also advanced to the second layer of Qi Cultivation, so he wanted to try again.

"Ah?"

Chu Ran's face immediately flushed, and she hurriedly said, "No... no need, I feel very good now. That... your medicine, it was very effective!"

Her body was currently free of discomfort, so she really felt embarrassed to receive that uncomfortable treatment to remove the cold again.

"Well... okay, if you feel uncomfortable, you can find me anytime!"

Zhou Yuan felt somewhat disappointed, but more than that, he was happy.

At least Chu Ran's health was much better. The disappointment stemmed from the difficulty of not wanting to admire that beautiful body again after having seen it.

But he quickly snapped out of it!

Zhou Yuan, oh Zhou Yuan, Miss Chu treats you like family, how could you have such vulgar thoughts?

And then there was beating up Lin Bufan, who seemed to have quite the formidable background, which certainly planted seeds of trouble. However, he wasn't afraid, for the Great Zhou Secret Technique gave him confidence. Whoever dared to mess with him would just see whose techniques were tougher!

He wouldn't become the pretty boy that Wei Shen mentioned!

In front of an elevator in a high-end residential area,

Liu Yuanpeng said with a cold smile, "I want him to make a complete fool of himself, to lose his dignity as a man!"

As the Miss of the Chu Family, Chu Ran inevitably cared about face.

If Zhou Yuan's disgraceful moment were exposed to everyone, how could Chu Ran still value Zhou Yuan?

And as long as he could resolve this issue, not only would it remove future troubles, but it could also curry favor with the Li Family. It would be like killing two birds with one stone!

"Please rest assured, Mr. Liu!"

A woman of ordinary appearance grinned and said, "There's a class reunion tonight, which he originally didn't qualify for, but now he does!"
