Young Master Ye is so frail, if you were to hurt him, could you bear the responsibility?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Exactly, Young Master Ye has the look of a girl. If you hadn’t said anything, I would have thought he was some beauty from who knows where.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With those words, a burst of laughter spread.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hahaha.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the corner, the man was clad in a light-colored suit, his features delicate, his complexion pale, and his naturally cherry-pink lips added a touch of femininity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Listening to the mocking words around him, Ye Rui hung his head, fists clenched tight, struggling to control his emotions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, his silence made those dandies think he was even easier to bully, so the words they spat out got nastier.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ye Miao and the others are over there, so why is Young Master Ye by himself here? Could it be that he’s been scorned?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That’s right, a bastard surely can’t show his face in public, no wonder he can only sit here alone.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hahaha.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Another round of laughter ensued.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Rui tightened his knuckles until they were white and started to walk away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The men who had just voiced their mockery exchanged glances and blocked his path, their faces bearing malicious smiles, \"Young Master Ye, stay and talk; why the rush to leave?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Move aside.\" Ye Rui’s voice was hoarse as he spoke.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Finally decided to speak, huh? I was beginning to think Young Master Ye was mute,\" the man at the forefront said sarcastically.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"How about it, we won’t let you pass, and I wonder what Young Master Ye can do about it?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Li Hao, don’t go too far.\" Ye Rui hung his head, eyes brimming with red, and reason told him he must endure, even if they were the ones to strike first; in the end, he would still be the one at fault.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Didn’t expect to get a show tonight.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A cold voice suddenly interrupted, quite abrupt.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Who?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The disrespectful men swiftly turned their heads, and the slim figure of a young girl entered their field of vision.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Under the dim light, the girl’s rosy lips curved into an amused smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How could it be her?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Rui’s eyes widened slightly, his face showing a hint of astonishment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After the surprise, Ye Rui looked at the girl with complicated eyes, and there was a trace of embarrassment from being seen in such a sorry state.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You brat, this doesn’t concern you; beat it, or you’ll get a beating too,\" Li Hao said with a ferocious tone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next moment, a low chuckle spread.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Heh.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Jiuliang tipped her cap brim and, hands in pockets, said, \"Telling me to beat it? You’ve got quite the nerve.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Jiuliang, you...\" Ye Rui began softly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Jiuliang glanced at him and said, \"Don’t misunderstand; I was just passing by to watch the show.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Rui clammed up awkwardly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Are you Ye Jiuliang?\" one of the men said in surprise.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On hearing this, the rest looked at Ye Jiuliang with even more disdain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The news of the second Ye Family daughter’s return to the capital had already spread throughout the circle, but most people had not yet seen her in person.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, since she was rumored to have been raised abroad from a young age, they didn’t really take her seriously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At least in the world of prestigious families, being sent abroad to fend for oneself was almost the same as being a useless chess piece.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Jiuliang’s smile didn’t reach her eyes. \"I didn’t expect to be this famous.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It seems we failed to recognize a great person in our midst; turns out this is the Ye Family young miss who was banished abroad,\" Li Hao scoffed with disdain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As his words fell, a few men beside him burst into laughter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Rui looked at Ye Jiuliang and moved his lips but seemed lost for words.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Jiuliang was different from him; regardless of how big of an issue she stirred up, the old master would always protect her, after all, she was a legitimate heir, whereas he was just a mistake from Ye Miao’s reckless youth, nothing more than a bastard child.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Banished?\" Ye Jiuliang’s eyes and brows were cold. \"That word is quite apt.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since she had been thrown abroad to live from a young age, that was essentially banishment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing that Ye Jiuliang displayed none of the anger he had hoped to provoke, Li Hao felt annoyed and said maliciously, \"Ye Jiuliang, we won’t stoop to your level; just get lost.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Aren’t you going to hit him?\" Ye Jiuliang glanced at Ye Rui and flashed a roguish smile, \"Go on then, hit him. I’m waiting to watch the show.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Rui, \"...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He hadn’t seemed to offend her on normal days, had he?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ye Jiuliang, what do you mean?\" Li Hao growled with a dark face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Jiuliang shrugged his shoulders. \"I was just bored and wanted to watch a show. Is that not allowed? Or are you guys actually only capable of shouting a few words?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A few dandies simply couldn’t withstand provocation, their faces turning red and their necks swelling with anger. Li Hao rolled up his sleeves and grabbed Ye Rui by the collar.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Because of what you said, Ye Jiuliang, I have to beat him up today.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Jiuliang spoke nonchalantly, \"Then hurry up and do it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Hao’s raised fist froze in mid-air, and from Ye Rui’s perspective, he could clearly see the bulging vein on Li Hao’s forehead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He lowered his hand and pushed Ye Rui fiercely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I’ll deal with you later.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Hao turned his head, his eyes flashing fiercely as he walked towards her with an aggressive air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He made a move, and the whelps crowding around him followed suit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Looks like you’ve chickened out.\" Ye Jiuliang swept a glance at them with the corner of his eye, sneering coldly, \"Don’t come too close to me. I don’t have a good temper.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ye Jiuliang, what are you trying to pull, you stinking girl who has a mother but no father to teach you? What gives you the right to put on airs here?\" Li Hao said with a cruel smile, his words biting to the extreme.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Jiuliang’s demeanor changed, a terrifying cold light flickering in his eyes. It seemed that quietly eating cake just wouldn’t do!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Heh!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A cold laugh spread out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Catching Li Hao off guard, the girl lifted her knee, kicking towards Li Hao’s abdomen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The movement was crisp and decisive.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ah--\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Hao’s face turned pale in an instant, his features twisted in agony. The force of the kick was no small matter; his whole body was propelled backwards.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Finally, he fell unsteadily to the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Bang--\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All at once, the surroundings fell deathly silent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The others were dumbstruck, staring at the slender figure and swallowing hard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What had just happened?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That speed, was it even humanly possible?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, everyone realized they might have kicked an iron plate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Hao clutched his abdomen, gasping in pain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hiss--\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suddenly, a pair of black boots came into his view.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before he could speak, he felt a pressure on his back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Jiuliang was stepping on his spine, preventing him from getting up. \"I am being unreasonable, what can you do about it, huh?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The icy voice came from above, arrogant and defiant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Trapped beneath a foot, Li Hao’s face showed his disgrace. Having lost the upper hand, he still tried to be verbally tough. \"Ye Jiuliang, do you know who I am? I won’t let this go.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I thought you were just dumb, but it turns out you’re foolish, too, not even knowing who you are.\" Ye Jiuliang applied a bit more pressure with her foot on his back, causing Li Hao’s face to turn red with pain, sweat sliding down continuously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Won’t let this go? Hah, let me tell you, even if I kill you today, no one would dare say a word,\" she retorted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With that, she delivered another knee.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Go and stay aside.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That seemingly light kick; only Li Hao knew how much force was behind it. He rolled over, his back slamming against the chilly wall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Thud--\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Pfft--\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He turned his head and vomited a mouthful of blood. The chilling scent of blood frightened the others.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Rui watched the barely alive Li Hao on the ground, feeling vindicated, but his gaze towards Ye Jiuliang was even more obscure and complex.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No wonder even Ye Miao had been defeated by her hand. With those skills, Ye Miao was no match for her.\u003C\u002Fp>",1448,"2026-05-30T05:18:55.480Z","2026-06-01T04:30:24.264Z",1,"novelbin.me","13fb470e881f8ea6f7e9eddf49c1c5717f54017798e7b7a3c569e521617e38d8","the-lady-of-the-prestigious-family-is-a-big-boss-chapter-41","the-lady-of-the-prestigious-family-is-a-big-boss-chapter-39",877,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fthe-lady-of-the-prestigious-family-is-a-big-boss-cover.jpg"]
