The Wang family is here?
Ye Cheng, who was about to enforce family law on Ye Fei, imdiately frowned upon hearing the servant’s words.
Why would the Wang family co at this ti of year?
It must be regarding the engagent!
However, this ans the family law cannot be applied to Ye Fei right now.
After all, even if Ye Fei was already decided as the sacrifice in the arrangent between the Ye family and the Wang family, he is still an engagent candidate. If the Wang family were to see Ye Fei beaten badly, it would be disgraceful for the Ye family.
So Ye Cheng imdiately snorted coldly and said, "Postpone the family law. Invite the Wang Family Patriarch!"
The servant nodded quickly and ran out.
Before long, an old man with a gaze similar to Ye Cheng’s entered, leading a group of people.
Seeing this, Ye Cheng imdiately stepped forward with a smile and said, "Wang Family Patriarch, hahaha, it’s just the end of the year, not yet New Year’s Eve. Why are you in such a hurry to visit us? Could it be about the engagent?"
As he spoke, Ye Cheng glanced at Wang Yuting, who was standing beside the Wang Family Patriarch.
But the Wang Family Patriarch awkwardly leaned in and said, "Don’t ntion it—Wu family mbers are here!"
The Wu family?
Ye Cheng, puzzled by this, looked toward the people beside Wang Yuting.
Beside Wang Yuting stood her close friend Jia Qing and a young man with a proud expression. Upon seeing this young man’s face, Ye Cheng’s heart sank.
This man was none other than the Wu family’s Young Master, Wu Hao!
While Jia Qing’s previous analysis of the Wu family’s influence in Binjiang suggested they were distant and limited, this only applied to the Binjiang overlords—the Li family.
For the Ye family or the Wang family, either of them facing the Wu family, which controlled one-third of Ann Province, would be dealing with a colossal force!
Moreover, Ye Cheng was fully aware of the rumors surrounding Wang Yuting and Wu Hao. Seeing Wu Hao here now, could he have co to settle scores?
Thinking of this, Ye Cheng imdiately turned his gaze to the Wang Family Patriarch.
But the Wang Family Patriarch only shook his head helplessly and whispered, "Old friend, it’s all my granddaughter’s fault! She’s too spoiled. She secretly inford the Wu family. I... I couldn’t stop her!"
Upon hearing this, Ye Cheng felt a surge of frustration in his heart!
You couldn’t stop her?
So what now for the Ye family?
With Wu Hao showing up like this, not only can the engagent not proceed, but the Ye family has also unnecessarily offended the Wu family, while the Wang family has taken no loss at all!
Still, Ye Cheng forced himself to smile as he turned to Wu Hao and said, "Well, isn’t this Young Master Wu? What brings you all the way here?"
"Hmph!"
Wu Hao snorted coldly, showing zero regard for Ye Cheng, the elder, and said directly, "Mr. Ye, your Ye family is really impressive! You dare steal my fiancée? Do you think the Wu family doesn’t exist? Or are you intentionally provoking us?"
"No, no, no!"
Ye Cheng shook his head repeatedly, smiling apologetically, "Young Master Wu, I think there’s been a misunderstanding. Our Ye family never..."
"Enough! I don’t want to waste words with you!"
Wu Hao interrupted Ye Cheng with a wave of his hand, then snorted coldly, "Hand over the one who dared to steal my fiancée. I’ll cripple the tendons in his hands and feet, and destroy his third leg, then this matter will be settled!"
Just hand over Ye Fei to settle the matter?
Ye Cheng breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this, and the other Ye family mbers exchanged gleeful glances toward Ye Fei.
A scapegoat—this is exactly when he serves his purpose!
Though it was earlier than expected, a scapegoat was still disposable whenever necessary.
With everyone’s gaze focused on him, it beca clear to the Wang family, Wu Hao’s entourage, and everyone present that Ye Fei was indeed the Ye family’s candidate to marry Wang Yuting.
In an instant, the focus shifted entirely to Ye Fei.
"So this is the Ye family’s scapegoat?"
Wang Yuting glanced Ye Fei up and down, then sneered, "No surprise—his aura and background are nothing compared to Brother Hao’s. Right, Qingqing?"
Saying this, she nudged her close friend.
But at that mont, Jia Qing froze completely.
It’s him?
How could it be him?
How could the Ye family’s cast-off be... Mr. Ye?
Jia Qing felt her heart racing. After all, she was the daughter of Jia Yu—a powerful figure among the three titans in Su Province at Qi Mountain!
She naturally recognized Ye Fei!
Not only did she recognize him, but she also knew his skills were extraordinary, almost godlike; and his status was incomparable as one of Su Province’s titans.
How could the Ye family dare treat Ye Fei as a scapegoat?
Did they not realize that, compared to Ye Fei’s stature, the Wang family, Wu family, Ye family, and even the Binjiang overlord Li family were nothing but ants?
"No way! I have to tell Tingting—this isn’t a scapegoat; it’s a divine dragon soaring to the heavens!"
Thinking this, Jia Qing prepared to reveal Ye Fei’s identity to Wang Yuting.
But in that instant, a chilling sensation instantly froze Jia Qing in place. She saw Ye Fei looking at her with an expression that reduced her to dust—as if gazing at a re ant.
She couldn’t utter a single word under that gaze.
"Qingqing? Qingqing, what’s wrong? You look pale!" Wang Yuting, noticing Jia Qing’s change, curiously asked.
"N-nothing. Probably didn’t sleep well last night," Jia Qing imdiately replied.
But she dared not divulge Ye Fei’s identity nor even glance at him.
After hearing this, Wang Yuting simply expressed so concern, then turned her admiring gaze back to Wu Hao, who was taking charge.
"Hehe, so this kid is Ye Fei?"
Wu Hao sized Ye Fei up and sneered.
"Good! Good! This entire ss is the Ye family’s fault. I leave him to you, Young Master Wu. Our Ye family has no complaints. Just please, Young Master Wu, keep your word!" Ye Zhixiong, the Ye family head, quickly stepped forward.
Other Ye family mbers chid in, pushing Ye Fei toward Wu Hao, eager for Wu Hao to deal with him and quench his anger.
Hearing this, Ye Zhigang’s expression darkened with rage, leaving him speechless.
Though he had anticipated complications regarding the engagent, he hadn’t expected the Ye family’s actions to be so ruthless. It was as if they planned to kill his son!
Grabbing Ye Fei, Ye Zhigang imdiately tried to take his son out of this ss.
But Wu Hao simply snorted coldly and said, "What’s this? Running away? As long as I’m here, let’s see who dares leave!"
"No one insults the Wu family without facing consequences. If you dare offend us, there must be justice!"
Saying this, Wu Hao gestured for his n to cripple Ye Fei as planned, severing tendons in his hands and feet, and breaking his third leg.
Just then, an announcent echoed from outside: "One-eyed of Anshan has arrived to offer congratulations!"
