Chapter 218: I'll Give You One Last Chance
The woman had blonde hair that shimmered dazzlingly in the sunlight.
She wore a court-style gown with dainty leather shoes, and with every step, she seemed to dance as if at a lavish banquet.
The crowd immediately burst into discussion.
"You can tell this foreigner is someone important. Is she also here to congratulate the Lin Family?"
"This Xiao Ye is really something else. He actually knows such a formidable-looking foreigner. The Lin Family really lucked out!"
"I don't know, she doesn't look like she's here to congratulate anyone. More like she's here to stir up trouble."
The woman paid them no mind, striding into the living room in her dainty leather shoes.
"This place is so shabby. There isn't even a single decent painting."
"It's nothing compared to my palace. I can't believe Ye actually used to live in such a wretched place!"
Lin Aoshan was also curious about the foreigner who had suddenly appeared.
He stood up, leaning on his cane. "Hello, may I ask who you are…?"
The woman lifted her chin and spoke arrogantly, "My name is Ali. You can also call me Princess Lili."
Lin Aoshan didn't quite understand what she said, but a translator beside her immediately repeated her words.
'A princess?'
Lin Aoshan didn't believe a real princess would come to Jiangcheng. 'What a joke.'
Any princess from any country who came to the Dragon Country would definitely be officially received by the higher-ups and given a friendly welcome.
But this one had clearly come on her own.
'Still, judging by her demeanor, she doesn't seem like an ordinary person either. She's likely a foreign noble.'
Foreign nobles weren't rare. Few remained glorious, but you could run into fallen ones everywhere.
This was especially true in places like Country A and Country Y, where you could find them by the handful.
The history of these two countries was too short—only a few hundred years—so their bloodlines could still be preserved.
Unlike the Dragon Country of today, where it was long since impossible for people to trace who their ancestors were.
Ali frowned. 'Why hasn't this old man bowed to me yet?'
'Then again, how could a family this poor possibly understand the etiquette of high society.'
Her gaze swept the room, landing on the other people. "Get them all out!"
"Yes!"
Her bodyguards immediately sprang into action.
They were all burly, and most of them were foreigners.
The people from a small place like Jiangcheng naturally didn't dare to provoke them, so they had no choice but to leave, feeling wronged.
The Bai Family was among them.
Bai Shoucheng walked out of the Lin residence, looking back every few steps, and slumped into his car, utterly dejected.
At that moment, he was filled with regret. If only he hadn't looked down on Xiao Ye back then, but had chosen to honor his Golden Saber promise!
Then the one basking in the glory right now would have been Bai Xue!
The Bai Family would have soared to new heights because of Xiao Ye!
It was because of his poor decision that the Bai Family had suffered such a heavy loss. If it weren't for Bai Xue turning the tide…
…he feared the Bai Family would have already fallen apart and become a mere footnote in Jiangcheng's history!
"Sir, should we go?"
Bai Shoucheng closed his eyes with great difficulty. "Go!"
"Thankfully, Bai Xue isn't someone who cares about power and influence. Otherwise… she would have hated me for ruining her life!"
As the crowd departed,
the Lin residence returned to its quiet state.
Ali waited for her bodyguards to lay a satin cloth on the sofa before sitting down as if bestowing a great charity.
She admired her exquisite fingernails for a long moment before finally looking up at Lin Aoshan and saying with disgust, "I'm here for Ye."
'Ye?'
It took Lin Aoshan a moment to realize who she meant. He then smiled and said, "Miss, you're here for Xiao Ye, correct?"
The interpreter by Ali's side immediately shouted, "Insolence! This is a princess!"
Lin Aoshan's mouth twitched. 'Are these people addicted to acting?'
"I don't care who you are. This is the Dragon Country, and Xiao Ye isn't here. If you're looking for him, go to the Imperial City."
This was his turf, and Lin Aoshan was completely unafraid.
'If a foreigner dared to act all high and mighty here, it would not end well for them!'
'The Dragon Country protects every one of its citizens!'
Ali's brow furrowed. "I know where Ye is. You listen to me. Make that granddaughter of yours, the one called Lin Chuyue, leave Ye at once!"
"Only I am worthy of Ye. As for everyone else, they aren't qualified!"
After hearing the translation, the smile on Lin Aoshan's face vanished completely.
'This foreign woman really did come with ill intentions!'
'I never thought Xiao Ye's luck with women would be this good. Even a foreign girl has fallen for him.'
'Judging by her attitude, she clearly won't give up until she gets what she wants.'
Seeing Lin Aoshan remain silent, Ali continued, "Ye and I are childhood sweethearts. We've known each other for years."
About ten years ago, she had contracted a strange illness. Tormented by the disease, she had sought out famous doctors all over the world, but no one could cure her.
Finally, her father, who was the Sovereign of Country A at the time, brought her to the Dragon Country and found an extremely hidden mountain range.
Only after sacrificing nearly ten special forces bodyguards did they succeed in finding the residence of Xiao Ye and his master.
At the time, Ali was on the verge of death. It was Xiao Ye who saved her.
Not only that, but he also took care of her for a long time.
Ali had never imagined she would survive. Xiao Ye's appearance was like the sudden descent of a god, or even more, her very own Prince Charming!
From that moment on, Ali fell deeply in love with Xiao Ye.
Unfortunately, she had to return to Country A, and after that, she was never able to contact Xiao Ye again.
Luckily, she was constantly following the news from the Dragon Country, and that's how she saw the photograph.
Ali recognized him at a single glance. The man in the photo was definitely Xiao Ye!
The man she yearned for day and night, the one who appeared in her dreams countless times!
So she came. She would absolutely not allow any other woman to steal her Prince Charming!
Lin Aoshan's heart sank slightly. He wanted to say something, but then he thought of how formidable Xiao Ye was and simply waved his hand.
"How many years you've known Xiao Ye is none of my business."
"I've already told you, if you're looking for him, go to the Imperial City. Coming here is useless."
Ali sneered. "It seems you'd rather do this the hard way! I'll give you one last chance. Contact that woman named Lin Chuyue!"
"Have her come back immediately and leave Ye's side!"
"Impossible!"
Lin Aoshan refused flatly. This was his prized son-in-law, whom he had managed to keep only by exhausting all means.
No matter what, he couldn't just hand him over to someone else!
"You—!"
Ali shot to her feet. As a princess, no one had ever dared to speak to her like this.
"You're courting death!"
"Guards! Seize him!"
"If he dares to not make the call, chop off his hands for me!"
The bodyguards were very obedient and immediately stepped forward, ready to act!
Lin Aoshan could feel the violent aura coming from them and hurriedly shouted, "Wait!"
'I'm so old, and my heart isn't good. If I get beaten up, I might not even survive!'
Ali's face was full of scorn. "If you knew this was going to happen, why bother struggling in vain just now?"
"Make the call now! If you don't, I'll kill you!"
