Chapter 138 This Is Not Face-slapping, but Face-kicking!
"Shit~"
"You country bumpkin! What the hell do you know?"
"Have you had red wine before?"
"Do you know what is Lafite?"
"I bet you have never been overseas?"
"You are just a frog in the well! How dare you spout rubbish in front of Young Master Liu?"
"And what is this about a Rothschild winery? Why don't you just tell us it is a Rothsmother winery?"
"You are just talking nonsense here. It is Miss Chen Nan's great misfortune to have a boyfriend like
you."
But before Liu Jia-Wei could say anything, Wang Yu had blown his top in an instant.
With an angry expression on his face, he had lashed out furiously at Ye Fan. If it were not because he
did not want to scare Chen Nan, Wang Yu would have gone ahead and kicked the country bumpkin
already.
He was depending on Liu Jia-Wei for his promotion. So naturally, Wang Yu was furious at the country
bumpkin for stirring up trouble at this time!
"Wang Yu, it is not a big deal."
"Why lower yourself to his level?"
"He is a country bumpkin after all. He is pretending to be erudite even though he is ignorant. So it is
only natural for him to make a fool of himself."
Liu Jia-Wei tried his best to suppress his anger, and continued to put on the air of a modest gentleman.
After all, he had to act more gentlemanly in front of the girl he liked.
And show her that he was a cultured person.
Until now, he still believed that Ye Fan had been talking nonsense.
"Young Master Liu is magnanimous indeed. As the saying goes, great men are big-hearted. I know at a
glance that Young Master Liu is destined for great things."
"If you girls ever meet a gentlemanly and erudite person like Young Master Liu, you should just marry
him right away." Wang Yu continued to praise Liu Jia-Wei to the skies.
The latter enjoyed the flattery very much. He lifted his chin and his eyes were filled with haughtiness.
Just like that, the afternoon passed by quickly.
During this time, Liu Jia-Wei tried to make Ye Fan go away on several occasions.
After all, if Ye Fan was around, it would be inconvenient for them to make a move on Chen Nan.
However, they did not succeed. Ye Fan continued to tag along closely and, all the while, Chen Nan
stayed close to him. Both of them spent their time chatting happily with each other.
Just then, the sky was slowly getting dark. When the group passed by a restaurant, Liu Jia-Wei's eyes
light up immediately and he ushered everyone in there for a meal.
"Nan-Nan, after eating, why don't you go with us to the tournament?"
"Tonight, Anning County will be hosting a grand fighting tournament that has attracted worldwide
attention. Many VIPs in Jiangdong will be here. It is impossible for the common folks to attend this
event."
"Even I only managed to get a few tickets after asking my friends for help," Liu Jia-Wei said
nonchalantly.
"Whoa! Young Master Liu, you are so awesome!"
"I too have heard about this tournament. It seems that Chen Ao of Jiangdong, Li Er of Yunzhou and Lei
San of Jingzhou will all be in attendance."
"All the big shots will be gathered there. If you do not have some means at your disposal, there is no
way you can attend such an event."
"As for the common people, I bet they have not even heard of such an event," Wang Yu exclaimed.
And then, he turned to look at Chen Nan. "Miss Chen, do you see?"
"This is the difference between a poor person and a rich person."
"It is impossible for poor people to come into contact with the world of upper-crust society."
"Take the Mount Tai Tournament for example. I bet you people have never even heard of this event,
right?"
"Your boyfriend is one of those losers who are destined to remain at the foot of the mountain. So he
can only see the small plot of land in front of him. But Young Master Liu is a winner who is standing at
the peak. So what he sees is the vast
celestial sea."
"Young Master Liu, what do you think? Am I right?"
Liu Jia-Wei took a sip of tea and nodded his head. “Mm, you are right."
"Ye Fan, I am going to use you as an example. You were born in the countryside. And everyday, you
worry about your livelihood. Most probably, you will spend the rest of your life drifting along day by day.”
"You have never seen the Norwegian woods or the Eiffel Tower in England."
"You have also never seen the penguins foraging on the Arctic ice sheet or the aurora in the sky at the
South Pole."
"To somebody like you, the waves of the Doing River is just a piano piece?"
"And you have only seen romantic sceneries of the Aegean Sea on television shows."
"Poor people like you spend your whole lives in one place. And you have only seen the sun rise from
that one place."
"Mr. Ye, I actually feel sorry for people like you. The world is so beautiful, but you probably will never be
able to go out and see its beauty."
Liu Jia-Wei smiled faintly and a haughty look came over his handsome face. Just then, he was acting
as if he was the full moon up in the sky looking down on a mere firefly. When he spoke, his words were
packed with thick disdain and pity.
At this moment, with his eyes full of haughtiness, Liu Jia-Wei was feeling very smug with the speech he
had just made. Not only had he completely showed off his broad knowledge and gentlemanly bearing,
he had also taken the opportunity to put down Ye Fan thoroughly.
He inwardly guessed that Chen Nan had probably already been mesmerized by his erudite manner of
speech and fallen in love with him already. He estimated that, right about now, she was ready to kick Ye
Fan aside and snuggle into his welcoming arms.
Liu Jia-Wei lifted his head and, just as he had expected, he saw the light of admiration in her eyes.
And, on her face, he saw a happy smile that was aroused by respect.
But just as he was going to give in to his raging hormones and sweep Chen Nan into his arms, Ye
Fan's laughter suddenly rang out softly at their table.
"Mm?"
"What are you laughing at?” Ccontent © exclusive by Nô/vel(D)ra/ma.Org.
"You are really hopeless. Instead of feeling ashamed of your poverty and lowliness, you actually have
the audacity to laugh?" Liu Jia-Wei frowned. Ye Fan's smile had made him very unhappy.
He had expected Ye Fan to feel too ashamed to even show his face before them.
But unexpectedly, the loser from the countryside was so utterly without shame that he had actually
laughed instead of feeling ashamed.
Ye Fan smiled ambiguously and replied, "I am not really laughing at anything. Your speech was very
exciting, but you made a few mistakes. I don't know if I should tell you your mistakes or not.”
When he heard this, Liu Jia-Wei grew even more unhappy. "What are you trying to say?"
"Actually it is not a big deal. I just want to tell you that the Eiffel Tower is in Paris, France. Not England."
"What a load of nonsense! I have been to the Eiffel Tower, you know? Are you telling me that I don't
know which country it is in?" Liu Jia-Wei blew his top immediately. And then he turned to Wang Yu.
"Wang Yu! Tell this poor country bumpkin where is the Eiffel Tower located!" the young master roared
angrily.
This was already the second time. When Ye Fan had spouted his nonsense the first time round, Liu
Jia-Wei had put up with it. But this time, the latter could no longer contain his rage.
"Young Master Liu, don't be angry. Let me do some fact-checking on the internet. And then we will slap
his face with black-and-white facts!" Actually, Wang Yu had no idea himself where the Eiffel Tower was
located. But no matter. He could just ask Baidu.
And very soon, Wang Ye found the information. "Alright, you bastard. Listen up! The Eiffel Tower is
located on the south bank of the Seine River in Fr..."
Wang Yu was reading out loud what was written on the Baidu Baike page, but then he stopped halfway
all of a sudden. He was taken aback by what he was seeing.
Liu Jia-Wei turned to glare at Wang Yu. "Mm? Are you dumb? Quick, continue reading."
Wang Yu's face twitched a little as he turned to look at Liu Jia-Wei. "Young
Master Liu, it looks like the Eiffel Tower is really in France.”
When Liu Jia-Wei heard this, his face turned dark immediately.
"This is bullshit! I have personally been to the Eiffel Tower! Are you telling me I have made a mistake?"
he roared angrily.
While in the throes of rage, Liu Jia-Wei snatched the phone out of Wang Yu's hand and looked at the
Baidu page. Afterward, his face turned an ugly shade of green and his arrogance withered to
nothingness right away.
God damn it! The Eiffel Tower is really in France!
Liu Jia-Wei's face turned red with shame.
Just then, Wang Yu stepped in to smooth things over.
"Erm... about that. Actually Young Master Liu has been to a lot of different countries. So it is only
natural for him to misremember something, right? As the saying goes, gold cannot be pure and people
cannot be perfect. Surely a little blemish like this cannot hope to conceal the brilliance of our young
master. Miss Chen, am I right?"
Chen Nan only nodded and smiled.
But Ye Fan took a sip of tea and continued, "About that, Young Master Liu. I have not finished
speaking?"
"Actually, penguins do not live on the Arctic ice sheet. They live at the South Pole."
"Also, there is no piano piece called 'Waves of the Doing.' There is only 'Waves of the Danube.'"
"If I remember correctly, there is no Doing River in the world. They only have the Danube River and the
Rhine River in Europe," Ye Fan said nonchalantly.
At this moment, Chen Nan, who had been trying her best to control herself, finally lost control and burst
out laughing as she bent at the waist. Meanwhile, Li Xiao-Hong was keeping her head bowed as she
tried her best to stop herself from laughing.
As for Liu Jia-Wei himself, his face had already turned an ugly shade of green after listening to Ye Fan.
He was looking really terrible, as if he had just been visited by great misfortunes.
Was this face-slapping?
No!
This was face-kicking!
Liu Jia-Wei was nearly going mad. His face was flushed red and he felt so ashamed that he wanted to
just go somewhere and hide himself.
