"Oh my! Hurry, go take a look, it's over at the Chanel section."
Upon hearing the janitor's words, Ye Chen was taken aback. He thought Li Zhiyu might have run over to the Chanel section to shop and then run out of money.
If that were the case, it would be troublesome. After all, Li Zhiyu was someone he had brought back, and in the end, the trouble would fall on him.
Ye Chen's scalp tingled with anxiety as he hurried into the mall. It wasn't his working hours, so he wasn't wearing his security uniform.
The Chanel section was on the second floor of the mall. Since it was a designated area, it sold only Chanel products, including cosmetics, clothing, and handbags.
Ye Chen took the escalator, but it felt too slow.
"Excuse me, please let me through." Ye Chen shouted as he ran upstairs.
Perhaps because he was running in a hurry, Ye Chen felt a bit out of breath when he arrived at the Chanel section.
Then he realized it wasn't what he had thought. Instead, Li Zhiyu was being blocked by a young man here.
"Excuse me." Ye Chen pushed through the crowd and walked in.
"Ye Chen." Li Zhiyu saw Ye Chen coming in and called out.
"What's going on?" Ye Chen walked over.
The young man had just been on the phone. After noticing the situation here, he hung up and glanced at Ye Chen, asking, "Who are you?"
Ye Chen glanced at the young man and ignored him.
He didn't respond to the young man, but Li Zhiyu came up and hugged Ye Chen's arm, saying, "He's my boyfriend."
"Hiss!" Ye Chen took a sharp breath, his mind filled with question marks. What was going on?
When the young man heard Li Zhiyu say that Ye Chen was her boyfriend, he didn't refute. He actually thought Ye Chen was Li Zhiyu's boyfriend.
Then the young man looked at Ye Chen disdainfully and said to Li Zhiyu, "Li Zhiyu, even if you don't want to marry me, at least find someone decent to deceive me, not him..."
The young man looked Ye Chen up and down and said, "What's the deal with you bringing along a peasant?"
"A peasant?" Ye Chen glanced at what he was wearing. Although it wasn't very good, he had still spent five hundred yuan on it. How did it look like a peasant?
Moreover, what was wrong with being a peasant? Peasants earned their living with their own hands.
"That's right! I'm just a peasant, so what?" Ye Chen looked at the young man and said.
"Huh!" The young man sneered and then said to Li Zhiyu, "Li Zhiyu, you're really degrading yourself. You actually found a peasant."
When Li Zhiyu said that Ye Chen was her boyfriend just now, Ye Chen didn't refute, so the young man really thought Ye Chen was Li Zhiyu's boyfriend.
"That's still better than you." Li Zhiyu looked at the young man disdainfully.
Wait a minute, this young man is the one arranged by Li Zhiyu's family for marriage. Then who is the woman beside the young man?
Ye Chen seemed to understand what Li Zhiyu had said before. This really was a playboy! He was even bringing another woman in front of his arranged marriage partner. He really was scum.
"Better than me?" The young man smirked and said, "I don't see it."
"Humph! At least he's a human being, unlike you." Li Zhiyu's words were a bit harsh. Indeed, when the young man heard Li Zhiyu say that he wasn't even a human being, his face suddenly turned fierce.
Being told he wasn't even a human being in front of so many people, anyone would feel humiliated!
But what Li Zhiyu said wasn't wrong! The difference between humans and beasts lies in the fact that humans have spirit and consciousness. Humans use their spirit to control their behavior, while the behavior of beasts is driven by instinct.
Also, humans have a sense of shame, while beasts do not. Humans engage in deep communication in secret, while beasts can engage in deep communication in broad daylight.
To be honest, what Li Zhiyu said was quite relieving because Ye Chen hated this kind of person the most.
But regardless of his feelings, this was still a mall, and he was a security guard in the mall. Although it wasn't working hours now, there was no difference.
"Let's go." Ye Chen said to Li Zhiyu.
"Yeah." Li Zhiyu nodded and prepared to follow Ye Chen out.
"Wanna leave? Not so fast. I've already called your family, Li Zhiyu. They'll be here soon, hehehe. By then..." When the young man said this, Li Zhiyu became a bit anxious, then she looked at Ye Chen for help. Normally, Ye Chen shouldn't intervene in such matters, after all, it was someone else's family affair.
But seeing Li Zhiyu's pitiful appearance, Ye Chen couldn't bear it. Moreover, as the young man said, Li Zhiyu's family hadn't come yet, so it wasn't considered her family matter for now.
At least not now, because according to the current situation, the young man had no relationship with Li Zhiyu.
Glancing at the young man blocking the way, Ye Chen said, "Move aside."
"What are you, you..."
"Smack!" Ye Chen's hand swiftly swung across, causing the young man to spin half a circle on the spot.
As he came to a stop, he found himself facing the crowd outside the circle. His expression turned sour instantly. Being publicly slapped like this was more agonizing for someone as concerned about their reputation as him than being killed.
He turned around, attempting to throw a punch, but as someone whose body had been drained by indulgence in pleasure, his fist lacked any real force.
Before his punch could reach Ye Chen, Ye Chen grabbed his wrist firmly and effortlessly twisted it downwards. The young man found himself forced onto his tiptoes, unable to maintain his balance.
