It was not unreasonable for the Ye Family's disciples to hold some envy in their hearts and grumble in private; Xiao Chen wouldn't have minded it too much.
But Ye Xuan's malicious slander against Ye Yufei had crossed his limit of tolerance.
Having Ye Yufei stay with the Ye Family was meant to provide her with a place of refuge and safety when he was away, not for her to be wronged.
If the Ye Family could not give Ye Yufei a sense of security, then he would take Ye Yufei and leave the Ye Family.
Ye Xuan, driven to fury, burst into a spiteful laugh and stared coldly at Xiao Chen, "You want me to apologize? So what if I called her a bastard, you..."
Her voice came to an abrupt stop.
Ye Xuan's throat was already clenched in Xiao Chen's hand, making it hard for her to breathe.
"You... let go of me!"
Ye Xuan struggled desperately, kicking violently.
However, it was futile; Xiao Chen lifted her whole body with force, and his brutal strength nearly suffocated her.
