Even the people from the Zhao Family of Yanjing dare to adopt such an attitude, they’re really asking for death!
The three great families of Yanjing are the ones that other families look up to.
They couldn’t believe that Zhao Wuyan of the Zhao Family would appear here. Not to ntion Sun Junzhong, even the old patriarch of the Sun Family, Sun Guoting, wouldn’t dare to talk to Zhao Wuyan like this.
So...
A trace of indignation crossed Zhao Wuyan’s heart in that mont.
But he restrained it.
Zhao Wuyan, rather than getting angry, laughed and said, "That’s . This young man here looks unfamiliar, what’s your na?"
Look, this attitude, this cultivation!
As a mber of the Martial Arts Family of Yanjing, he treats strangers with such approachability!
Won would go crazy over it, and n would be compelled to admire it.
Fang Yu grinned and said:
"Who are you calling young man? I’m several years older than you, aren’t you embarrassed? You’re just like those from the Sun family, always so prematurely aged and haughty. You’re not that old, how can you act so pretentious without fear of being struck by lightning?"
"—"
Everyone present was dumbfounded.
There were no strangers to reckless behavior, but Fang Yu was definitely the first to say such unpleasant words in front of Zhao Wuyan.
Even Xu Zhaopei thought Fang Yu went too far—
She elbowed Fang Yu and whispered, "Hey, don’t overdo it. This person is not our guest, we can’t just ss around!"
Fang Yu paid no heed.
Jiang Wei was simply baffled, wondering how Fang Yu could suddenly say such harsh words to a stranger.
Zhao Wuyan was indeed angry inside, but he still kept a pleasant expression on the surface.
"Sorry, brother, what’s your na?"
Before Fang Yu could speak, Sun Junzhong nearby repeated Fang Yu’s identity. A flicker of surprise passed through Zhao Wuyan’s eyes and vanished quickly as he smiled and said, "So that’s the case."
This ti, Zhao Wuyan did not continue to entangle with Fang Yu, but instead said sternly:
"Brother Sun, today is your engagent day, it’s not appropriate to spill blood. Co, let’s go inside."
"Hmm."
Zhao Wuyan took the lead, not even glancing at Fang Yu, and walked in.
All those wealthy young masters gave Fang Yu disapproving looks. Although they were unaware of the matters of the Iron Fist King and the underground forces, the enterprises and wealth of Yanjing’s Zhao Family were astonishing even throughout all of Huaxia!
In their eyes, having offended Zhao Wuyan, Fang Yu was finished and best ignored.
...
After everyone had left.
Xu Zhaopei fiercely pinched Fang Yu’s waist.
"Ah—"
Fang Yu cried out, "Tigress, that’s too harsh!"
Pulling up his clothes, he saw it was all bruised.
"That’s for harassing !"
"Hey, I’m your boyfriend, how could I not kiss you?" Fang Yu argued.
"Still arguing?" Xu Zhaopei was furious.
"Do you really want to shout it out?" Fang Yu glared.
At that, Xu Zhaopei imdiately deflated, her face changed and she quickly smiled apologetically, "Dear, my bad—"
At that mont, Jiang Wei, accompanied by her younger sister Jiang Xiaoxiao, walked towards the courtyard.
As Jiang Xiaoxiao passed by Fang Yu, she made a face at him and said, "Shaless!"
"—"
...
...
Inside the manor.
Zhao Wuyan walked briskly with an expressionless face.
Sun Junzhong hurriedly followed respectfully and said in a low voice, "Young Master Zhao, it’s my fault, I didn’t expect to run into Fang Yu here."
"Fang Family’s Fang Yu?" Zhao Wuyan only said these four words.
"It’s him, rest assured, I will handle this matter properly and will not dirty your hands," Sun Junzhong said nervously.
"Good!" Zhao Wuyan said indifferently, continuing to walk.
At the sa ti, Sun Junzhong signaled to Xiao He. A hint of murderous intent flashed at the corner of Xiao He’s mouth, it was ti to make arrangents!
...
...
In the hall.
It’s exceptionally lively.
Today is the 70th birthday of Xu Liu, the patriarch of the Xu Family. All the big shots who can co are here. Besides, no one would have expected the Sun Family from Jiangbei and even the Zhao Family from Yanjing to show up.
Xu Liu is highly respected, and it’s only fitting that so many prominent figures are attending.
As soon as Fang Yu stepped into the hall, Jiang Wei beside him said indifferently, "Aren’t you going to hug your little lover over there?"
"Do you despise too?" Fang Yu rolled his eyes.
"Do perverts ever have a reason?" Jiang Wei’s eyes were sharp as knives.
"Hey, I didn’t provoke you!"
With that, Fang Yu walked toward Xu Zhaopei.
Xu Zhaopei cooperated well, without a word, she hugged his arm.
More and more distinguished guests kept arriving...
But...
The behavior between Fang Yu and Xu Zhaopei was baffling to onlookers.
"Hey, isn’t there a union between the Sun Family and the Xu Family today?"
"Right, why is the young miss of the Xu Family with this bumpkin?"
"Can’t be, are we really seeing such a clichéd soap opera plot unfold?"
"It seems like we are in for a good show today."
The hall was abuzz with speculation.
Xu Zhaopei had anticipated such a situation and was ntally prepared to face it.
"Where’s your grandfather?" Fang Yu asked.
"In the backyard, he’ll co out soon," Xu Zhaopei replied. "By the way, why does the Zhao Family from Yanjing seem so arrogant?"
Xu Zhaopei knew the Zhao Family of Yanjing was formidable, yet... Sun Junzhong’s attitude towards her was really like that of a servant. How could she like such a man! If she had to marry, she’d prefer a man like Fang Yu who’s not at all timid.
Fang Yu laughed, "They have the credentials to be arrogant, they co from a significant background."
"Then why did you confront him?"
"Even though he has a significant background, in my eyes, he’s just a weakling."
Bluffing.
Keep bluffing!
At this mont, a group of people ca out from the back door of the hall.
Leading them was an old man with white hair, leaning on a walking stick; this was Xu Zhaopei’s grandfather, Xu Liu, the Sect Leader of the Xu Family’s estate. Accompanying him, another elderly man, dressed solemnly but quite relaxedly behind Xu Liu, laughing and chatting.
"The one with the walking stick is my grandfather, the one next to him is Sun Junzhong’s grandfather, Sun Guoting," Xu Zhaopei whispered.
"I know him."
"You know this too?"
"I know everything... I even know what underwear he wears."
Geez!
Xu Zhaopei rolled her eyes.
The two elders Xu Liu and Sun Guoting seed equal in stature, scanning the crowd with their gaze.
Their status should have been the highest here, but... when Sun Guoting saw Zhao Wuyan among the crowd, his expression suddenly beca stern. He was about to stand up when he saw Zhao Wuyan gesture with his hand, clearly wanting to keep a low profile.
This left Sun Guoting uneasy.
"Everyone, please have a seat," Xu Liu said loudly.
Everyone began to find their seats.
"Peipei, co here," Xu Liu called out loudly, not seeing Xu Zhaopei nearby.
Xu Zhaopei had no choice but to walk over.
"Aren’t you going to formally greet Grandpa Sun?"
Xu Zhaopei bowed her head, stuck out her tongue, and bowed to Sun Guoting: "Greetings to Grandpa Sun."
Sun Guoting smiled warmly, "Peipei, haven’t seen you for a long ti, you’ve grown into a young lady."
Saying this, Sun Guoting took out an erald ring from his chest, saying, "Peipei, this is a family heirloom ring. Today, I pass it on to you."
Xu Zhaopei was stunned.
She was well aware of what this entailed; accepting it ant the marriage arrangent was set. To refuse would be a public embarrassnt. What would then happen to the relationship between the Xu Family and the Sun Family?
All eyes in the hall were on Xu Zhaopei.
Even Sun Junzhong couldn’t help but feel expectant.
