Chapter 153: Giving You One Night to Think
Yanjing, within Old Zhong's villa area.
After arrangements were made, the Ye family's grandfather was transferred to Old Zhong's villa for close protection. Previously, because the health of Mr. Ye was not good, he needed to stay in a secluded place to breathe more fresh air.
Now that the place had already turned into a bloodbath, there was no need to stay any longer.
In the living room.
Old Zhong, Ye Wenjun, Grandfather Ye Shitian, and Fang Yu were present.
Fang Yu, I have a bold idea, I wonder if you would like to hear it," said Grandfather Ye, squinting his eyes.
"I don't want to hear it."
Fang Yu had been really exhausted these past couple of days and hadn't really had a good rest. Although Divine Dragon Technique had helped him recover a lot of energy, he still needed to sleep.
...
Grandfather Ye was speechless; this was too disrespectful, but he still said, "I hope you can take on the role of the leader of the Ye Family's Hidden Dragon Guards."
Upon hearing this, Fang Yu was taken aback and said, "Grandfather, for me, an outsider, to lead the Ye Family's Hidden Dragon Guards, isn't that inappropriate?"
"Who said you are an outsider. Once you and Wenjun are married, you will be my grandson-in-law. Naturally, you are a member of the Ye Family. You have the strength to spare as the leader," Grandfather Ye stated.
"I don't have that much free time," Fang Yu rolled his eyes.
After all, Fang Yu was secretly the hall master of the Dark Web Jiangzhou branch.
As Grandfather Ye was about to say something else, Fang Yu waved his hand and said, "Grandfather, stop talking, I need to sleep."
"Um..." Grandfather Ye had no choice but to swallow his words.
When reaching the door, Fang Yu suddenly turned back, looked at Ye Wenjun, and said, "Wife, aren't you coming back with me?"
Upon hearing this, Ye Wenjun's pretty face flushed red with embarrassment and she wished she could find a hole to crawl into. This bastard, returning to his normal self, how could he be so shameless!
And both Grandfather Ye and Old Zhong were present.
Just as Ye Wenjun was about to firmly refuse—
"Wenjun, go quickly," urged Grandfather Ye.
...
Ye Wenjun was speechless. Was this really her grandfather?
Would a real grandfather send his dear granddaughter away like this?
"Wenjun, after all, Fang Yu is your fiancé, you should get to know each other," said Zhong Long.
...
Grandfather Ye then said, "Go on, only by understanding each other more can you know if you are suitable for each other."
As two elderly figures spoke, Ye Wenjun stood up and hesitantly agreed.
Then she followed Fang Yu out.
Just as they reached the door, she heard Grandfather Ye whisper, "Don't come back tonight."
...
...
In the room.
Fang Yu sat beside the table, legs crossed, squinting at Ye Wenjun.
She was a bit nervous and didn't know what to do.
Contrary to her first time meeting Fang Yu, she now seemed like an inexperienced child.
Unsure of how to start the conversation and what to say, she chose to remain silent, waiting for Fang Yu to speak.
After a long while, Fang Yu finally said:
"So, you're just going to stand there?"
On hearing the implication of his words, Ye Wenjun's cheeks turned even redder, she mustered up courage and said, "Fang Yu, I know you're a martial artist, if you think you can force me into submission with this, I'd rather die than agree!"
...
Fang Yu was taken aback and said, "What are you thinking?"
Ye Wenjun turned her head away—
"Are you not coveting my beauty?"
Hearing this, Fang Yu froze, this woman, too self-absorbed perhaps. Honestly, when Fang Yu was a renowned figure in Jiangzhou eight years ago, he had seen many beauties. Of course, those beauties, from looks to demeanor, couldn't compare to Ye Wenjun now... But the experienced Fang Yu certainly possessed enough self-control.
Fang Yu smiled and said:
"You've seen right through me, have you?"
Hearing this response, Ye Wenjun's heart sank, staring at Fang Yu in disbelief. The man who had just saved the Ye Family, a lecher!?
Ye Wenjun felt disappointed.
But what could she do?
The great-grandfather had already completely sided with Fang Yu, including Grandfather Zhong Long as well.
Ignoring Fang Yu's character, even just based on his terrifying capabilities, the Ye Family would have to curry favor with him!
With this thought, Ye Wenjun couldn't help but feel heartache.
It seemed as though her fate had been controlled by her family from the very beginning.
So-called fairy-tale love and Prince Charming had always been out of her reach.
...
What's the meaning of gaining something through reluctant sacrifices?
Beautiful appearances are dime a dozen.
Interesting souls are one in a million.
If it was just about sleeping with a woman, Fang Yu had countless ways and means.
How boring.
Fang Yu swiftly moved and grabbed Ye Wenjun's hand.
Ye Wenjun exclaimed in surprise, "What are you doing? I'm already like this, do you still plan to force yourself on me?"
"..."
Fang Yu glared, grabbed her clothes and pulled them up, not even looking, and said indifferently, "I'm not as filthy as you think."
"What do you really mean then? Did you call me here just for this?" Ye Wenjun argued.
"I called you here to ask you... do you actually like me?" Fang Yu said seriously.
Ye Wenjun was stunned.
She didn't know what she was thinking.
Fang Yu said, "I'll say it again, a forced melon isn't sweet. If it feels wrong, let's break it off. The door is right there, you can walk out on your own."
This sentence made Ye Wenjun's heart skip a beat.
Seeing her hesitation, Fang Yu helplessly said, "Your great-grandfather is right, these things require mutual understanding. How about I give you a night to think it over, and you can answer me tomorrow."
Ye Wenjun remained silent.
Fang Yu then opened the door, stretching lazily, "Sorry, I'm really tired and need to sleep."
"..."
Watching Fang Yu's impatient look, Ye Wenjun started to doubt her own attractiveness, "I'm leaving now, you better not regret it." Ye Wenjun finally spoke.
"Why are you so annoying?" Fang Yu pulled her out of the door.
Snap!
The door closed.
Ye Wenjun doubted her charm even more, even touching her cheek.
No, she had to clear this up.
...
Meanwhile, just as Fang Yu was about to lie down to sleep, his cellphone rang.
Fang Yu was startled, pulled out the mobile, and saw it was the one Lu Youchao used. His own had been destroyed long ago.
He tried to answer the call.
Immediately, an urgent voice came through:
"Brother Yu! Is that you?"
"Yes, it's me. How did you know I was using this phone?" Fang Yu was surprised.
"I knew, of course. I found out through the mobile number linked with account number 216. I thought if you can see the bank messages, you might be near this phone," Fan Tong hurriedly explained.
"Tell me, what's so urgent that you had to contact me?" Fang Yu got straight to the point.
"Ji Qiubai has gone mad. He's taken Qingcheng Group's executives and Xu Liu's family servants hostage!"
Fang Yu frowned slightly.
"Jiang Wei, Xu Zhaopei, are they alright?"
"They're safe. It seems like there are skilled protectors with them."
"Got it..." Fang Yu responded calmly.
"Brother Yu, what exactly is happening?" Fan Tong was extremely anxious.
"Remember the ten million? That was from Ji Qiubai hiring a hitman to kill me. Unfortunately… he failed." Fang Yu spoke coldly, "Ji Qiubai must have thought I was dead to dare such boldness…"
Hearing this, Fan Tong was furious.
"That scumbag, Ji Qiubai, such an ungrateful traitor! I'm going to find someone to slash him!"
"Fan Tong, remember this! From now onwards, I won't allow you to meddle in underworld matters!" Fang Yu spoke very firmly, very loudly!
Such that Fan Tong was completely silenced.
Fang Yu calmed down, said calmly, "I will hurry back to Jiangzhou first thing tomorrow."
"Alright. I'll wait for you!"
