Chapter 45 - Impudent Man
Just as Chao Bai was staring straight at the woman, Li Han sensed a gaze from afar.
She frowned slightly and thought that it must be another lecher who had specifically come to the entrance of the Li residence to peep!
It had to be known that the Li family had an extraordinary relationship with the royal family. Many people wanted to use the Li family’s daughters to climb up the social ladder.

Moreover, although the young ladies of the Li family weren’t the best-looking ones in the imperial capital, they were all popular among the noble families in the city.
In particular, Li Ling and Li Han were the two most popular young ladies of the Li family.
Li Han was originally the most talented person in the Li family. She was also a legitimate daughter, so naturally, they had high hopes for her since she was young.
Many people even said that she would become the next matriarch of the Li family.
As for Li Ling, because she had been doted on by the queen since she was young and had grown up with the princess, she received special attention from the outside world.
Li Han angrily turned to look at the person, planning to teach him a lesson like she had done to those previous perps.
However, the moment she looked at the man, for some reason, her eyes couldn’t help but stare into his.
The man wasn’t considered handsome. He even had the innocence of a youth. His sickly pale skin made him look fragile, but he had a pair of mesmerizing eyes.
That gaze seemed to bewitch her, making her unable to even struggle.
Just as Li Han was in a daze, Chao Bai, who felt bored, turned to leave.
Li Han was stunned. She didn’t expect the other party to leave without even saying anything.
Such a mesmerizing person actually didn’t even have the courage to go forward and greet her?
Li Han immediately found it unbelievable.
She reached out to stop him, but felt that this would be beneath her status as the daughter of the Li family.
Fortunately, she had an obedient, sensible maid who understood her intentions.
“Hey you, stop right there!” The maidservant shouted and ordered Chao Bai to stop.
Chao Bai had no intention of stopping, as if he had no idea that the other party was talking to him.
The maid was angry that the man didn’t stop.
She said fiercely towards Chao Bai’s back, “Hey! The one in white! Did you hear me?!”
When Chao Bai heard this, he looked at his clothes and then looked around before finally realizing that the other party was calling him.
He stopped and turned to the maid.
Chao Bai didn’t speak, but the maidservant raised her chin proudly. “If you want to talk to her, come forward boldly. My lady has always been approachable. She won’t look down on you!”
“Alright! What are you going to say? Come over and say it!”
When Chao Bai saw the maid’s cocky appearance, he ignored her. He turned around and left again.
The maid panicked when she saw this.
She rushed in front of Chao Bai. With one hand on her waist, she pointed at Chao Bai with the other. “What’s wrong with you?! My lady kindly gave you a chance, so why are you stilla€|”
Under the maid’s shocked gaze, Chao Bai bypassed her and walked forward.
The maid felt embarrassed after being ignored.
Although she was Li Han’s maidservant, even the young masters and young ladies of the other small clans had to be polite to her. However, this person actually ignored her!
The maidservant let out a low cry and took out a small knife from her waist. She threw it at Chao Bai’s back. “Don’t be too arrogant!”
Seeing this, Li Han was about to stop the maidservant, but in the next moment, the maidservant saw in horror that her right hand, which was holding the knife, was raised high in the air, and her wrist was slowly turning in her direction.
“Whata€| what’s going on?” The maid exclaimed. Seeing that the knife was about to stab her heart, Li Han snatched the whip from the coachman’s hand and swung it.
The little knife in the maid’s hand was flung away, leaving only her clenched fist, which punched her chest.
There was a muffled sound. The maid coughed heavily, and blood oozed from the corner of her mouth.
With the force of this blow, it was obvious that the small knife would probably have pierced through her!
The maid fell to the ground. Li Han quickly walked forward to check her condition. Seeing that the maid was fine, Li Han raised her head to look for Chao Bai, but she could no longer find him.
The servant and coachman, who had been stupified for a long time, immediately rushed forward. One of them helped the maidservant up while the other went to Li Han’s side. “Miss, are you alright?”
At this moment, the guards in the residence rushed out.
“Miss, I didn’t protect you well! Please punish me!” The guard captain lowered his head and didn’t dare to look at Li Han’s face.
Everything had happened too quickly. They didn’t expect a weak-looking man to be able to cause such harm to the servant girl, Xiao Cui!
It had to be known that some of these guards were no match for Xiao Cui at all!
After searching for a while, Li Han retracted her gaze. After a long time, she said, “Go and find out who that person was.”
Seeing that Li Han wasn’t angry, the guard captain finally heaved a sigh of relief and hurriedly lowered his head even more. “Yes!”
