Chapter 145: Isn’t This Too Fast?

Chapter 145: Chapter 145: Isn’t This Too Fast?

Han Xiaorui and Ye Feng were both stunned. They turned toward the source of the voice.

From the color of her clothes, Han Xiaorui immediately identified her as Yu Lina, the woman who had just tried to force her way in.

No wonder Chen Yupeng had specifically warned her. This Yu Lina was like an indestructible cockroach.

She had been refused at the gate but still wouldn’t leave, even resorting to climbing over the wall to get in.

The woman’s stubbornness bordered on psychopathic.

Ye Feng narrowed his eyes, his gaze turning cold. "Her again!"

"Who is it?" Han Xiaorui asked, feigning ignorance. "Should I call someone over?"

Ye Feng glanced at Han Xiaorui, then at Yu Lina, who was already climbing to her feet. "Xiao Rui, don’t be angry. There’s nothing between her and me. I’ll sort this out with her."

’I’ll call the old man tonight and have him rein in the Yu Family.’

’That’s the easiest way to deal with this.’

’With my injuries, a lot of other methods won’t work.’

Han Xiaorui smiled. "Actually, I saw her at the gate just now, but Uncle Xu said you didn’t want to see her. I just didn’t expect her to be so persistent that she’d climb the wall."

Yu Lina’s knee was scraped, and blood was seeping from the wound.

She gritted her teeth against the pain and stood up, looking at Ye Feng. Then, she saw the beautiful woman who had delivered the peaches sitting right next to him.

They were sitting so close, and Ye Feng was even holding her hand. Intense resentment immediately surged within Yu Lina.

She had loved Ye Feng since they were children, and she still loved him now.

For Ye Feng, she studied medicine, which she hated. For Ye Feng, she turned on her best friend. For Ye Feng, she had even thrown away her own future.

She had done so much, so why couldn’t Ye Feng see it?

Yu Lina’s eyes were paranoid and frantic. Ignoring the pain in her leg, she strode over. "Ye Feng, who is she?"

Ye Feng wanted to introduce Han Xiaorui openly, but he was afraid Yu Lina would hurt her.

But after a moment of thought, Ye Feng decided to tell the truth. "This is my fiancée."

"Huh?" Han Xiaorui turned to look at Ye Feng. "No, I’m not! I’m just your girlfriend. I’m not even sure if I’d be happy with you yet, so it’s too early to be calling me your fiancée."

"What?" Yu Lina was so furious she could spit. Ye Feng liked this woman, and she actually had the nerve to be picky about him?

’On what grounds?’

’She wasn’t a bad catch, so why didn’t Ye Feng like her?’

Called out by Han Xiaorui, Ye Feng chuckled. "Right, my girlfriend. Yu Lina, you’ve made mistakes in the past. I hope you’ll see the error of your ways, start a new life, and stop bothering me."

Yu Lina shook her head repeatedly, her expression pained, as if she had been deeply wounded.

"Ye Feng, we grew up together! Our families are of similar standing; we were childhood sweethearts. I remember when we were little, other kids bullied me, and you chased them away for me."

Ye Feng didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. "You said it yourself—that was when we were kids. Helping people is a virtue. We’re grown-ups now, and we have our own separate lives."

"In the past, you caused an innocent girl to be injured, leaving her with a disability. Your father went to great lengths to protect you. Not only did he go to their home to apologize and pay compensation, but his own career stalled because of it."

"If you remain this obstinate, you’ll only end up hurting yourself and others. Someone, escort her out."

The bodyguards were already waiting nearby. Hearing Ye Feng’s order, they hurried over and began to drag Yu Lina away.

Yu Lina’s eyes were wild. "Ye Feng, you can’t do this to me! I love you so much!"

Ye Feng rubbed the bridge of his nose, an immense headache coming on.

’What’s the use of a one-sided love? Shouldn’t feelings be mutual?’

’They say you can’t force love, but with Yu Lina’s crazed behavior, she’s not just trying to force the fruit—she wants to rip the whole vine out by its roots.’

"What are you looking at? I’ll dig your eyes out, then you won’t be able to look anymore! You think Ye Feng will still like you then?" As Yu Lina was dragged away, she didn’t hate Ye Feng. Instead, her hatred turned toward Han Xiaorui, whom she had only met twice.

In her heart, she believed that it was the appearance of the beautiful Han Xiaorui that made Ye Feng dislike her.

But she never stopped to think that if Ye Feng had ever liked her, he wouldn’t be avoiding her like the plague now.

Han Xiaorui was dumbfounded. She pointed to her temple and looked at Ye Feng. "Is there something wrong with her head?"

Ye Feng thought for a moment. "Are delusions considered a mental illness?"

Han Xiaorui blinked. "I wouldn’t know about that. I’m going to the hospital this afternoon to see Expert Wang. I can ask her then. She’s a psychology researcher, so she might have an answer."

Ye Feng pushed himself up from the armrests of the lounge chair and stood up.

Han Xiaorui took the opportunity to support him. "Where are you going?"

"I’m going to call the old man and have him make things clear with the Yu Family," Ye Feng replied. "If the Yu Family won’t control her, then I won’t be so polite."

Hearing this, Han Xiaorui urged him on. "The sooner you handle this, the better. The way she looked at me just now was terrifying. I’m not worried about her coming after me, but I am worried she’ll go after my daughter and my sister."

Ye Feng froze for a moment. The thought of the innocent girl Yu Lina had harmed came to mind, and he couldn’t allow such an incident to happen again.

’Damn it, I’m still recovering. There’s so much I can’t handle personally. But leaving it to others could easily lead to future trouble.’

"Xiao Rui, don’t be afraid. Trust me. I can protect you."

Han Xiaorui smiled. "Don’t you rush, either. Even if she wants to come after me, it will take time. We can deal with it after you’ve recovered."

But the more she said this, the more worried Ye Feng became.

Once they reached the living room, Ye Feng didn’t hesitate for a moment. He immediately called his father. "Dad, is this a good time to talk?"

Ye Zheng gave his secretary a look, dismissing him. Only then did he chuckle and ask, "Well, well, is my dear son calling because he needs my help with something?"

When Ye Feng wanted something from him, he would call him "Dad." Otherwise, he just called him "the old man."

’He wasn’t even old!’

If it weren’t for the urgency of dealing with Yu Lina, Ye Feng would have hung up immediately.

But he couldn’t bear the thought of Han Xiaorui coming to any harm, especially with her two children and her sister to consider.

"Yu Lina is in Shanghai, and I have a girlfriend now. Go talk to Old Yu and tell him to get his crazy daughter under control. If Yu Lina dares to cause any trouble here in Shanghai this time, I’ll personally send her to prison."

Ye Zheng was taken aback for a second, then he recalled the matter. "You really like this Han Xiaorui?"

"Yes!" Ye Feng nodded. Over this period, he had come to feel the delicate, kind heart beneath Han Xiaorui’s carefree and enthusiastic exterior. "I won’t marry anyone but her."

Han Xiaorui, who was eating a peach on the side, nearly choked when she heard this.

’Isn’t this moving a little too fast?’

Hearing this, Ye Zheng shook his head and chuckled. But since Ye Feng had put it that way, if he didn’t step in...

Ye Feng really would send that crazy girl from the Yu Family to prison!

"Alright, I’ll handle it," Ye Zheng replied. "I’ll find time to meet with Old Yu at noon."

"I’m counting on you," Ye Feng said gratefully. In the past, when he was alone, he wasn’t afraid of offending anyone. But now that he was planning to start a family, he had to be more considerate.

Just as Ye Feng was about to hang up, Ye Zheng quickly stopped him. "Wait, Ye Feng. There’s something I need your help with."
