Chapter 1481: Can You Still Flee?

Yang Ming didn’t expect that Wang Ruoshui would have a fall out with someone so quickly. There was no warning in advance, and he was abruptly shocked. But when he glanced at Fang Tian and Wang Songshan who were smiling bitterly, Yang Ming knew why Wang Ruoshui was so angry.

Yang Ming came here to break the engagement. Her marriage was broken off by Fang Tian back then, and she hated this action deep down in her heart. So when Yang Ming said that he came here to back off from the engagement, Wang Ruoshui would naturally become angry.

What is up with this? The matter of breaking the engagement was successful initially. Wang Songshan had agreed to it. This time, the fiance’s aunt appeared out of nowhere. It seems that she still had considerable grievances about my intended action. This made Yang Ming helpless.

“Senior Wang Ruoshui, you may have misunderstood. Your niece and I are not the same as you and Master Fang Tian. The two of you are in love. I have not even met your niece. How can it be considered the same?” Yang Ming knew that he couldn’t compromise at this time. Although the woman seemed strong at the moment, her identity meant that Yang Ming would be constrained if he really started fighting with her! After all, this person had the potential to become his master’s wife!

Even if Yang Ming did not launch any attack, he still had the ability to protect himself. Wang Ruoshui wouldn’t be able to do anything to him, so he braced himself to say those words.

“What two of us are in love!?” Wang Ruoshui’s face changed. She was embarrassed when her relationship with Fang Tian was mentioned by a junior. A sharp spike stabbed at her heart, and she was suddenly displeased. “Of course, the marriage was subject to the arrangements of the elders. I knew him under the arrangement of my parents.”

Yang Ming was surprised. He scolded in his heart. I thought that these two people developed feelings naturally and came to freely love each other, but I did not expect that it was the feelings that happened after the blind date. What is this! Fang Tian, this freaking old man; how can he leave romance debts everywhere?

You have a wife at home, and yet you still can develop feelings during a blind date. You are outstanding.

“Then, you both had feelings towards each other in the end, but your niece and I haven’t even met. How can there be feelings?” Yang Ming threw up his hand and smiled bitterly. “Senior Wang Ruoshui, don’t meddle in this matter… ”

“It’s because you haven’t seen each other that I am more intolerable! You don’t take our Wang Family seriously? You don’t even look at my niece and yet you reject her. You are really arrogant!” Wang Ruoshui sneered, “Although the person surnamed Fang did not agree with the engagement, he glanced at me. Hehe… it isn’t that I belittle myself, but my niece is even prettier than me!”

Wang Ruoshui’s words were not complete, but the meaning was already obvious. Yang Ming could hear it. Fang Tian said that he did not agree with the engagement, but he had affection for her at first sight. At this moment, her niece was even more beautiful than her, yet Yang Ming sought to dissolve the engagement without even meeting face to face. This would bring shame to the Wang Family.

Although this logic was a bit messy, Yang Ming was too lazy to bicker with Wang Ruoshui. Someone who got hurt in a relationship would be unimaginably stubborn. Yang Ming didn’t think he could convince her to change her mind.

“Senior Wang Ruoshui, this junior does not mean to be arrogant, but you have just returned and you don’t understand the whole situation. It’s best to first ask your niece what she wants before you blame this junior.” Yang Ming talked with facts and reason, yet Wang Ruoshui didn’t listen. He could only suggest for her to verify his words with her niece in person.

“So the decision to void the engagement came from both parties?” Wang Ruoshui frowned suddenly after hearing Yang Ming’s words. She turned her gaze and looked at Wang Songshan. She was not unreasonable. She heard Yang Ming was about to break the engagement and thus was very upset. But when she heard Yang Ming’s words, it seemed to instill some doubt in her. She decided to put his matter on hold first and instead question Wang Songshan.

“Sister, of course, I want to be Fang Tian’s relative by marriage. I asked Yang Ming this boy many times before, but he will not marry my daughter so I have no choice!” Wang Songshan shrugged and said anxiously.

Wang Ruoshui’s appearance had messed up Wang Songshan’s initial plan, but he didn’t mind adjusting it to let Wang Ruoshui join in. Such a stir could only make the play more interesting and exciting, so he could also see his plan succeed.

Looking at Wang Songshan who was talented in acting, Fang Tian could only smile bitterly. This time’s matter had become really big.

When Yang Ming heard Wang Songshan’s words, a few black lines suddenly appeared on his forehead. What the hell is this? Isn’t this more awkward? The question Wang Ruoshui asked you is whether your daughter agrees, but you lightly changed it into you not agreeing to it. Isn’t this distorting the facts to cover up the truth? This affair is getting more and more chaotic.

Sure enough, Wang Ruoshui’s face turned gloomy. Her eyes looked coldly at Yang Ming, “The Wang Family has no problems with this engagement, aren’t you the one who seeks to break it?”

“This-” Yang Ming looked helplessly at Fang Tian ??but did not expect the old man to awkwardly turn his face away and ignore him. Apparently, he did not want to meddle with this matter. Yang Ming scolded in his heart, but he also realized that this matter now involved Wang Ruoshui. The two old men’s courage meant that they did not dare to stick up for him.

He came to Europe thinking that his plans to break the engagement would go smoothly. Fang Tian had also said so before. Both parties had to just meet and come to an agreement, and then he could succeed in backing off from the engagement. Previously, it really did follow these steps. Wang Songshan had found Yang Ming and talked with him. Then, he had finally agreed on breaking the engagement. However, who would have thought that there would be a surprise? Wang Songshan’s sister, Fang Tian’s old lover, Wang Ruoshui had actually returned!!

My luck is really great. I could actually encounter such an incident. Yang Ming really admired himself. No wonder he could get special abilities. His luck was rare even across thousands of years. He could encounter any weird events.

“What’s the matter? You have nothing to say?” Wang Ruoshui snorted as she stared at Yang Ming, seemingly trying to eat him. “Unfaithful person, still looking for so many reasons. See you tomorrow morning at the arena.”

Yang Ming heard Wang Ruoshui’s words, but he didn’t know what to do, “Senior Wang Ruoshui, I’m here to void the engagement. Do I still have to go for the duel?”

“Who agreed to your plan?” Wang Ruoshui stared at Wang Songshan and said, “Did you agree?”

“Why would I agree? I dissuaded him against it in the past.” Wang Songshan shook his head.

“So, did you agree?” Wang Ruoshui asked faintly as her eyes turned to Fang Tian again.

“I …” Fang Tian looked at Yang Ming and Wang Ruoshui. His head went down, and he whispered, “I didn’t …”

This old man! Yang Ming wanted to point at Fang Tian’s nose and scold him. This old man had also learned to lie blatantly with his eyes open. He even betrayed his disciple for his lover.

Wang Ruoshui’s eyes finally turned back to Yang Ming’s body. Although she didn’t speak, her meaning was already obvious. Yang Ming was lying.

Yang Ming took a deep breath, and felt like an outsider. Why did these people isolate me? This Fang Tian instantly became Wang Songshan’s brother-in-law. It was naturally impossible for him to help me anymore. If I had known this, I would not have come. If I stayed in Song Jiang, no matter how great this Butterfly Family was, they wouldn’t be able to travel across half the globe to look for me.

“What do you say?” Wang Ruoshui saw that Yang Ming did not speak, and asked a little impatiently, “Are you coming to the duel?”

“What is the difference?” Yang Ming had no choice but to force himself to ask.

“If it is a duel, we’ll see you at the arena tomorrow.” Wang Ruoshui paused, and a playful expression appeared on her face. “If not, then you will live here until we duel!”

Is there a difference? It’s just a matter of time. This woman is superbly unreasonable. I really don’t know how Fang Tian can stand it. Yang Ming sighed. Although there was no meaning to talk back at Wang Ruoshuitit-for-tat, his words were firm. “I don’t want to duel. Can you hold me back? Even if I can’t beat you, can’t I run? This junior doesn’t have the confidence to win, but does have the confidence to flee.”

“Flee?” Wang Ruoshui smiled faintly as if she had heard a very funny joke. She stretched out her white fingers and pointed at Wang Songshan and Fang Tian. “Even if you have the true learning from the guy surnamed Fang, can you still flee from all three of us?”

Chapter 1482: Yang Ming’s Grievance

After listening to Wang Ruoshui’s words, Yang Ming’s expression became twisted. Wasn’t this blatant bullying? Do you think you are playing poker? Three-on-one? Yang Ming was confident that his skills were not inferior to either one of Fang Tian, ??Wang Songshan, and Wang Ruoshui. In a one-on-one duel, he could retreat safely even though he might not win.

But with the three of them coming against him together, Yang Ming did not dare to duel. This was not a fair fight at all. The possibility of him retreating was very low. At this moment, Yang Ming understood it. Reasoning with this woman was simply delusional. It was simply impossible. What annoyed Yang Ming, in particular, was Old Man Fang!

Looking at Fang Tian’s cowardly look, Yang Ming felt wronged. Initially, he thought that it was quite outstanding to have the King of Assassins as a master. In front of Old Charles, when Yang Ming said that his master was the King of Assassins, Old Charles immediately hesitated.

But now, his master whom he always regarded as his pride had actually changed sides for his old lover. He partnered with her to scam his apprentice, which made Yang Ming really want to cry.

Yang Ming took a deep breath. Although there were thousands of dissatisfactions in his heart, people had to bow their heads under the eaves. Yang Ming had no way out at all. He hesitated for a while and said in the end, “Alright, then we will have a duel.”

“If you had this realization earlier on, then I wouldn’t need to say so many words.” Wang Ruoshui was satisfied when Yang Ming yielded.

“So, if I win, I can go, right?” Yang Ming knew that this was a battle he had to fight. He couldn’t care much, even if it was bad for Fang Tian’s face, he would need to defeat Wang Ruoshui.

“Win?” Wang Ruoshui waved her hand. “I said before that if you want to marry my niece, you must surpass my level first. If you win, you will naturally get the beauty.”

“What!?” Yang Ming’s eyes widened. If I win, I have to marry your niece? What is this duel? Yang Ming didn’t know if he should laugh or cry. “So, what if I lose?”

“If you lose, it means that your skills are not too good.” Wang Ruoshui said, “It doesn’t matter, you and my niece are not too old. You are not in a hurry to get married …”

“In other words, if I lose, I can go?” Yang Ming was overjoyed after hearing Wang Ruoshui’s words.

“Did I say you can go?” Wang Ruoshui asked rhetorically.

“That …” Yang Ming suddenly felt nervous. Had Wang Ruoshui come up with a plan?

“After losing, you must stay in Butterfly Castle and follow your master, that guy surnamed Fang, and continue to train hard. When you think you can beat me, we will have a duel again.” Wang Ruoshui said, “There are a lot of rooms in Butterfly Castle. You will live well here. I haven’t set a maximum number of times you can challenge me. Don’t worry. I will tolerate your repeated defeats as a senior.”

Yang Ming wanted to cry after listening. What’s the difference between house arrest and this? What’s the point of this duel? Marry your niece if you win. Stay at Butterfly Castle if you lose and continue to practice until you can win.

Aren’t you playing around with me? Yang Ming sighed. He knew that he could not change this situation at all, and was stuck in a stalemate with Wang Ruoshui.

Wang Ruoshui was quite stubborn. Yang Ming did not expect to change anything. This matter could only be mulled over slowly. Thinking of this, Yang Ming said, “Senior Wang Ruoshui, please allow your junior to think about it.”

“Alright, you can think about it.” Wang Ruoshui was quite satisfied with Yang Ming’s attitude at the moment.

Yang Ming returned to his room very depressed. Old Man Fang, Wang Songshan, and Wang Ruoshui were gone. They seemed to be catching up from the old days. Yang Ming did not want to meddle.

He hoped that Wang Ruoshui and Fang Tian could quickly return to each other. After Old Man Fang conquered Wang Ruoshui and spoke for him, the duel would probably be canceled. Yang Ming thought about it evilly.

It couldn’t be helped. Yang Ming could only pin his hopes on Fang Tian. If this old guy didn’t help him, he would be completely hopeless and would be trapped in the Butterfly Castle for the rest of his life.

The scene returns to Song Jiang.

Although Xu Xiaobin was in a difficult position, he was unable to change anything. Liu Zhenan’s words had represented the conclusion of this matter. Since the contract had been signed, it could not be changed.

Xu Xiaobin picked up the phone and dialed Jing Xiaolu’s number. His voice seemed a little gloomy, “Vice President Jing, this is Xu Xiaobin.”

“President Xu, how are things going? Are there any recent developments?” Jing Xiaolu was also at a loss. Although she knew what Liu Jifei used special means to sign the contract, it didn’t help at all. She could not change the situation at present. The only thing she could do was put her hope on Xu Xiaobin to sign a new contract with his diligence and coordination.

“Vice President Jing, sorry…” sighed Xu Xiaobin. “I have tried my best, but the group’s Vice President Liu Zhenan does not agree to change the contract.”

“What’s this?” Jing Xiaolu was stupefied, and suddenly became anxious in her heart. If the contract was not changed, wouldn’t it be a foregone conclusion?

“I also stated the stakes of the matter to Vice President Liu, including the impact it will have on our cooperative relationship and the future development of the newly established company.” Xu Xiaobin said, “Moreover, after Vice President Liu heard it, he pledged to help me. However, after I returned to Song Jiang, I received a call from Vice President Liu. He said that he had reported to the president and chairman. The people above did not agree to change the contract because the company did not have any precedent to make changes after signing the contract. If this rule is broken, then other companies could find the group to change their contracts and it will be messy!”

“How can this be compared!?” Jing Xiaolu hurriedly said, “President Xu, is there no way to remedy it?”

“Vice President Jing, I have tried my best… but…” Xu Xiaobin sighed, “But, my voice did not carry much weight. What I said has no weight in the group. The board won’t listen to me…”

Jing Xiaolu knew that Xu Xiaobin was telling the truth. His position in the group determined his right to speak. Although Jing Xiaolu was angry at the Jiangyan Group’s approach, she also knew that this matter had nothing to do with Xu Xiaobin. She naturally would not vent her anger on him.

Besides, Xu Xiaobin had helped her to deal with it, and Jing Xiaolu was very grateful for this. Liu Jifei had orchestrated all these events. Both she and Xu Xiaobin were victims.

If Xu Xiaobin managed to win this cooperation contract, then his promotion to the general manager of the Branch Company would imminent. It could be said that his future would be unlimited, but the cooperation between the two parties would be doomed to continue smoothly. The life expectancy of the branch would be obvious as well

“President Xu, if we undertake legal procedures, how likely is the lawsuit to succeed?” Jing Xiaolu also had no way out. If it were not possible, she could only go through judicial procedures.

“Vice President Jing, to be honest, I have also thought about this. However, we have no evidence. Even if I appear in court to testify, I would be against Liu Luyou and a series of people sent by Liu Jifei. We are unlikely to win.” Xu Xiaobin sighed.

“Yes, the key is that there is no evidence…” Jing Xiaolu also knew that evidence was critical. Without evidence, everything was empty words. “Did your girlfriend record what Liu Jifei said? That recording… Could it be used as evidence?”

“That recording…” Xu Xiaobin felt helpless.

“President Xu, I know that you are afraid of your girlfriend’s affairs being exposed. However, with our Ming Yang security contacts in Song Jiang’s political and legal system, I can guarantee that this case will definitely not be heard in public. You don’t have to worry about it…” Jing Xiaolu thought that Xu Xiaobin was afraid that the recording would be exposed and taint Wang Lixia’s face.
