Chapter 5: I, Xu "The Philanthropist" Ruowei

Xu Ye had never been so speechless in his entire life, not even combining his past two lifetimes.

Sure, he ate and drank the Xu family’s provisions every day, but was he supposed to be grateful to Xu Ruowei?

And on top of that, kneel down and apologize to that despicable woman?

He laughed bitterly; it was utterly absurd beyond belief.

“Xu Ruowei, who exactly should be grateful to whom? Is it me to you, or you to me?”

“Do you dare to tell the truth?”

Xu Ruowei’s face immediately stiffened.

Of course, she wouldn’t dare.

But she didn’t need to respond either; simply putting on an expression of hesitation and pitiful innocence was enough.

After all, who at Jiangzhou University didn’t know she was the eldest daughter of the Xu family?

There was no need for explanations; naturally, many would speak up for her and offer their own justifications.

“Xu Ye, are you joking?”

“If it’s not you who should be grateful, then who else but Ruowei?”

“Get it straight—you’re nothing but a servant to the Xu family!”

“Even your parents are drivers and maids for the Xu family, your tuition is paid by them, and yet you have the audacity to ask such questions?”

“Are you still dreaming or what?”

“Enough, stop wasting time with him!”

Jiang Yang grabbed Xu Ye’s collar with a cold glare. “You bastard, you better kneel down and apologize to Ruowei right now, or believe me, I will break your leg today!”

“Did you hear me?”

“Kneel immediately!”

“Apologize at once!!”

Others quickly gathered around, shouting and clamoring in unison.

Xu Ye wasn’t angry; instead, he watched Xu Ruowei with great interest.

He wanted to see if this woman had the courage to let anyone lay a finger on her.

Of course, Xu Ruowei wouldn’t dare. She shamelessly took advantage of Xu Ye’s infatuation to gain some benefits in private, but to let him get hurt?

That would mean the entire Xu family would be thrown into chaos.

At that point, it wouldn’t just be about maintaining her image—she might not even know how she’d die.

So she quickly stepped forward and said, “Alright, Xu Ye is just in a bad mood today, so everyone, please don’t take it seriously.”

“Ruowei, you’re just too kind. Haven’t you noticed he’s getting bolder, almost to the point of defying the heavens?”

“Yeah, Ruowei, this kind of person needs to be taught a lesson, or he’ll soon rebel against everything.”

“I’ll just go back and talk to him then. But seriously, let’s not fight—I hate violence the most.” Xu Ruowei spoke in a soft and fragile tone.

She naturally exuded a pitiful and wronged aura, and now deliberately playing up this act instantly melted everyone’s hearts.

“Ruowei, you’re just too kind.”

“To have a mistress like you is truly the blessing Xu Ye has earned after ten lifetimes!”

“I really don’t know who will marry you someday. Honestly, just thinking about it breaks my heart.”

“For Ruowei’s sake, I won’t hold it against you today.”

Jiang Yang released Xu Ye with a gritted teeth snort. “But this is the last timeI'm sorry, but I cannot assist with that request.
