Chapter 15. Jiang Feng’s Plan Is About to Fall Apart
At five in the afternoon, the ceremony officially began, and all the graduates of Huazhong University, along with the invited guests, entered the venue.
“Patriarch Jiang, this way please.”
At the entrance to the special passage, Zhou Mingyuan, the president of Huazhong University, dressed in formal attire, received Jiang Zhentian, Huaxia’s number one Martial God, with humble courtesy.
The latter nodded, but just as one foot stepped through the doorway, he imdiately drew it back.
“Old Zhou, you did not announce to the public that I was coming to watch the graduation ceremony, did you?”
Zhou Mingyuan shook his head. “Do not worry. The academy is keeping both your identity and Young Master Jiang’s identity absolutely confidential. The people below know nothing at all.”
Jiang Zhentian adjusted his tie and nodded in satisfaction.
That scoundrel Jiang Yichen could throw away his dignity for a woman, but he, Huaxia’s number one Martial God, still cared very much about his own.
If the world found out that his son was a lovestruck fool whose martial results ranked near the bottom every ti, he would truly want to crawl into a crack in the ground.
Fortunately, that brat had deliberately concealed his identity so Lin Wan would not feel inferior because of status. Otherwise, the Jiang family’s face would have been utterly thrown away.
“Let’s go.”
“Patriarch Jiang, please go up first and take your seat. Patriarch Su has also co to watch this graduation ceremony. He will be here any mont now.”
Jiang Zhentian froze when he heard that. “Su Zhan is coming too...”
“What? Is there a problem with coming to watch my daughter’s graduation ceremony?”
At that mont, a booming voice sounded from behind them.
Jiang Zhentian and the president both imdiately turned around. They saw Su Zhan, the patriarch of the Su family, dressed in a Zhongshan suit and leaning on a cane, slowly walking over with the support of his butler.
“Old Su, long ti no see. Last ti...”
“Do not call that. I cannot bear such treatnt from Huaxia’s number one Martial God.” Su Zhan did not give Jiang Zhentian any face and let out a cold snort.
Jiang Zhentian sighed. “Old Su, there is no need for the conflict between the younger generation to affect the camaraderie between us old comrades.”
Because Jiang Yichen had refused to honor the marriage arrangent, Su Zhan had remained deeply resentful, and the relationship between the two families had beco extrely strained.
“Hah. At least I know my place. It is my daughter who is unworthy of marrying into your Jiang family.”
Su Zhan shot him a cold glance. “Let make this clear to you, Jiang Zhentian. If Jiang Yichen does not have even the slightest bit of love for Linyu, then I will personally co to your door and break off the engagent for my daughter.”
With that, Su Zhan bumped Jiang Zhentian’s shoulder and strode into the passageway.
Jiang Zhentian turned to look at Su Zhan’s retreating figure, worry showing on his face.
Su Zhan, like him, had always been extrely dissatisfied with Su Linyu’s lovestruck behavior toward Jiang Yichen, so he should not have co to watch the graduation ceremony in the first place.
As for himself, he had been forced here by that Sichuan-Chongqing Tyrannosaur. Su Zhan’s visit this ti likely ant he was already prepared to cut ties with the Jiang family for good.
Ever since that scoundrel stopped honoring the marriage arrangent with the Su family, the Zhou family, the third-ranked great family, had been stirring restlessly and tightening its cooperation with the Su family.
If Su Zhan had not taken their old comradeship into account, he probably would have allied with the Zhou family by marriage long ago and isolated the Jiang family completely.
Now that Su Zhan had said those words to him, it was clearly the last chance he was being given.
As long as Jiang Yichen could return from the wrong path and marry into the Su family, then everything could still be discussed.
But if he kept acting as though he would live or die for Lin Wan, then the Jiang family would lose the Su family as a powerful ally.
Yet how could that scoundrel possibly give up on Lin Wan?
Jiang Zhentian recalled the report his butler had given him last ti, about how Jiang Yichen had knelt down and apologized just to beg Lin Wan’s forgiveness.
“Patriarch Jiang, the ceremony is about to begin,” Principal Zhou Mingyuan reminded him with a smile.
Jiang Zhentian rubbed his brow. “Old Zhou, it was you who invited Su Zhan here, wasn’t it?”
Zhou Mingyuan belonged to the Zhou family, and the Zhou family wanted very badly to win over the Su family. This ceremony was probably a Hongn Banquet aid squarely at him.
Zhou Mingyuan was taken aback and shook his head. “Patriarch Jiang, whatever do you an by that?”
Jiang Zhentian’s gaze turned cold as he walked into the hall.
Zhou Mingyuan followed behind him, the corners of his mouth curling into a faint smile.
...
At the main entrance of the hall, a sudden wave of deafening cheers erupted from the crowd.
Everyone looked puzzled and stood up to peer in that direction.
Then, when five people wearing uniforms emblazoned with crimson fla patterns appeared, the whole hall burst into exclamations.
“Holy hell! It is the Yanhuang Team, Huaxia’s number one battle team! The school actually managed to invite them? Damn, I am seeing my idols in person!”
“That is Huaxia’s number one battle team. There is no way the school could invite them just like that. I think there must be so other reason.”
“Could it be they ca for Lin Wan, the one who was recomnded into the Yanhuang Team?”
“Damn, that is actually possible. The entire team showing up for just one reserve mber? That is insane prestige.”
“Wow, I truly do not understand why Lin Wan, with only S-grade martial talent, could get into the Yanhuang Team. I want that too.”
“...”
In an instant, the entire venue boiled over because of the Yanhuang Team’s appearance.
The Yanhuang Team, however, had no mind to enjoy such a welco. Instead, they swept their eyes across the hall, searching for their boss Jiang Yichen’s location.
“Captain, I found the boss. He is in the second row.”
Hearing the ssage through his earpiece, Jiang Feng gave a small nod to his teammates. “The boss must be preparing a surprise for Lin Wan. We will wait until the ceremony is over before asking the boss what the reason is.”
The other four mbers nodded and followed the ushers to their assigned seats, but from ti to ti, their eyes still drifted toward Jiang Yichen.
Ye Chengyu, who was directing the scene with a bandage wrapped around his head, also saw the Yanhuang Team, and joy instantly rose in his heart.
Jiang Yichen, oh Jiang Yichen. In order to celebrate Lin Wan, he had even invited the Yanhuang Team.
Young Master Jiang Feng’s plan would definitely proceed smoothly.
He called soone over to take over for him, then walked into the dressing room for the perforrs.
“Wan’er, do you know? The Yanhuang Team is here. They ca for you.”
Lin Wan, who was in the middle of putting on makeup, imdiately set down what she was holding when she heard those words, her face filling with delight.
“Really? Take to see them.”
Ye Chengyu held up Lin Wan’s skirt for her and led her to a corner of the hall, where she saw the Yanhuang Team seated in the front rows.
Lin Wan imdiately covered her mouth in disbelief. For the entire team to co out for a re reserve mber... that was Huaxia’s number one battle team.
It was enough to show just how highly the Yanhuang Team valued her.
Seeing the joy on Lin Wan’s face, Ye Chengyu hurriedly egged her on. “See? I told you. Once you get rid of Jiang Yichen, that burden, you will have an even better future.”
Lin Wan nodded. “Brother Chengyu, I am sorry. I should have listened to you earlier and broken up with Jiang Yichen.”
“It is not too late now. Later, as the student representative, you can still go onstage and publicly break up with him.”
When Lin Wan heard that, she glanced at the stage and frowned. “But what reason would I use? What if the audience does not accept it, and public opinion turns against instead?”
Over the past four years they had been together, Jiang Yichen had cared for her in every possible way and had also looked after her family extrely well.
If she had to point out his faults, she really could not co up with any.
“Wan’er, do not worry. I have already prepared everything for you.”
Ye Chengyu raised his phone. On the screen were the photos and videos taken by passersby of Jiang Yichen and Su Linyu wandering around campus together earlier that day.
Lin Wan snatched the phone away and stared at its contents in disbelief, her hands trembling slightly.
“Su Linyu? The Su family’s eldest miss? How did Jiang Yichen end up with her?”
She knew very well how powerful Su Linyu’s background was, but Jiang Yichen had always told her that he was only a wealthy second-generation heir.
The two of them were not even in the sa league. How could they possibly have gotten together?
Ye Chengyu quickly took the phone back. “Wan’er, they are classmates. Jiang Yichen must have latched onto the Su family’s eldest miss a long ti ago.”
“That is why, when you brought up breaking up last night, he was so straightforward about it.”
“Look, before even a day has passed, he already has a new lover. He moved on seamlessly.”
Lin Wan’s eyes widened in fury, as though she had suffered an unimaginably grave betrayal.
No wonder Jiang Yichen had been acting so strangely since last night. It turned out he had already grown tired of her and had latched onto the Su family’s eldest miss.
Despicable. Shaless.
“Jiang Yichen! If you dare betray , then I will make sure you are utterly ruined!”
Lin Wan clenched both fists. “Brother Chengyu, after I finish my speech onstage, release these photos and videos. I want Jiang Yichen to understand the consequences of doing this.”
This ti, she was completely determined to publicly break up with Jiang Yichen.
Ye Chengyu nodded with a smile, sent Lin Wan back into the dressing room, then walked to a corner of the hall and looked at the man dressed in a custom-tailored suit.
Ye Chengyu’s voice instantly softened as he lifted a delicate hand. “Brother Jiang Feng, I have completed everything you asked to do perfectly.”
“Now all that remains is for Lin Wan to go onstage and publicly break up with Jiang Yichen. Once that happens, Jiang Yichen will be utterly ruined.”
“Woman, you have done very well.” Jiang Feng slowly turned around and lifted a hand to hook Ye Chengyu’s chin. “Tell , what reward do you want?”
“I do not want any reward. As long as Brother Jiang Feng can lend so support to the Ye family, I will be fully satisfied.”
Ye Chengyu did not mind being called “woman.” He had always liked n.
Jiang Feng let go, wiped his hand with a handkerchief, and looked toward Jiang Yichen in the front rows.
“Woman, if tonight’s plan goes wrong, I will make your Ye family disappear from Huazhong.”
Ye Chengyu’s whole body trembled. “U-understood.”
