The Strongest Dandy in the City-Chapter 384: Beat You Until Your Teeth Scatter Everywhere

"Ning Yuting, watch your language," Xu Jian’s face darkened as he looked at Ning Rongxuan and asked, "Elder Ning, does Ning Yuting’s decision represent the stance of the Nings? If that’s the case, I won’t impose any longer."

Without the slightest hesitation, Ning Rongxuan replied, "Yu Ting is just confused for the moment; we will ensure she attends Pengfei’s funeral on time tomorrow." Ning Rongxuan knew Xu Jian was right—in Wu State, the Xus could easily crush the Nings. Although the Yes were a prominent family from Capital City, their reach didn’t extend to Wu State. The Xus were the real power in Wu State, so Ning Rongxuan dared not go against their wishes.

"Since Elder Ning has said as much, I can rest easy," the gloom on Xu Jian’s face lifted, and after a pause, he added, "Elder Ning, there’s another matter I’d like to discuss with you. My son, Xu Kai, is also of age to marry, and I think Min Yan would be a perfect match for him."

"Th-this-this, it’s not that I don’t want to agree to this marriage, but Min Yan has already become engaged to Ye Dongjian of the Yes. I truly cannot make this decision," Ning Rongxuan said with a troubled look on his face.

"Elder Ning, don’t think I’m a fool. As far as I know, Ye Dongjian only came to the Nings to ask for Min Yan’s hand in marriage today, right? You haven’t agreed yet, so as of now, Min Yan has no ties to Ye Dongjian. As the saying goes, marriage is the parents’ command, and the matchmaker’s word. As long as Elder Ning nods in agreement, our two families will become even closer," Xu Jian pressed.

"Elder Ning, the foundation of the Nings lies in Wu State. Only by following the Xus’ lead will your family continue to prosper in Wu State. With the Xus’ protection, even the mighty Ye family from Capital City can’t touch you here. Should the Nings choose to stand against us, I fear there would be no more need for the Xus to be courteous to the Nings," Xu Jian blatantly threatened.

As Xu Jian openly threatened in front of Ye Dongjian and Ye Chenfeng, a surge of anger welled up in Ye Dongjian. Someone was bold enough to encroach on his woman, right over his head. If Ye Dongjian remained passive, he’d be no man at all. Pointing an infuriated finger at the audacious Xu Jian, he yelled, "What the hell do you think you are? Your Xu family doesn’t even qualify to carry shoes for the Yes. Get the hell out of here right now."

Xu Jian ignored Ye Dongjian, his eyes still fixed on Ning Rongxuan as he asked, "Elder Ning, you had better think carefully about my words. One false step can cost you everything, a lesson you don’t need me to remind you of, do you?"

Ning Rongxuan’s brows furrowed tightly. Just as Xu Jian had said, the foundation of the Nings was in Wu State. The Nings couldn’t afford to offend the Xus, and with the Yes being a great family from Capital City—a distance away—agreeing to Xu Jian’s request seemed most advantageous for the Nings.

After making up his mind, Ning Rongxuan finally said, "Fine, I can agree to marry Min Yan to your son, Xu Kai."

As Ning Rongxuan uttered these words, it was as if he was slapping his own face. He had just assured Ning Yuting and Ning Minyan that he never would force them into anything again, and yet, reality was bitterly ironic.

Ning Minyan felt an indescribable emotion, "You have no right to decide who I marry. My sister and I are no longer part of the Ning family. Is this the compensation you talked about giving us? Is this how you welcome us back?"

"You two have no right to refuse. Are you not even listening to your grandfather’s words? You two are truly ungrateful," Ning Yuanhang who had been silent until then, spoke up.

"Yuanhang is right. It’s not for you two to decide whether you’re part of the Nings or not. Ning Yuting, you will go to Pengfei’s funeral on time tomorrow, and Ning Minyan, you will obediently marry young master Xu Kai," Ning Hongwen added.

Bright and early, because of the matter involving Ning Yuting and Ning Minyan, the Elder Ning had scolded them. When else would they vent the frustration in their hearts if not now?

"Min Yan, come with me, and I guarantee your happiness," Xu Kai, standing beside Xu Jian, eyed Ning Minyan with a certain longing. After all, Ning Minyan was attractive, and what man doesn’t like a beautiful woman?

"Kid, watch it, or I’ll end you with a single punch. You dare to snatch my woman? Do you think I, Ye Dongjian, am a pushover?" Ye Dongjian took two steps forward, his piercing gaze locked on Xu Kai without blinking.

"Ye Dongjian, your involvement with Min Yan ends here. From now on, Min Yan is Xu Kai’s fiancée. I ask that you leave our Ning family immediately," declared Ning Rongxuan, now that he had taken a firm stance, holding tight to the Xus’ coattails.

"Did you hear that? Get the hell out of the Ning’s house right away. Don’t think you’re anything special just because you’re from the Capital City’s Ye family. In Wu State, it’s us Xus who call the shots. Your Ye family counts for nothing," said Xu Kai with haughty arrogance.

"Dongjian, let’s not waste words with these people. Let’s go! From now on, I am no longer a part of the Nings." Minyan said resolutely.

"Minyan, don’t push me too far. You and your sister thinking of leaving the Nings? Stay put and behave in the Ning family," Ning Rongxuan’s voice was ice cold.

"I, Xu Kai, surely won’t let my fiancée slip away right under my nose. In Wu State, no one can stand against the Xus. Minyan, following me is the wisest choice," Xu Kai said with a smile.

"It seems these days the number of people overestimating themselves is on the rise. The Xus are not even worth s**t in my eyes," Ye Chenfeng said casually as he walked up to Xu Kai and Xu Jian, hands shoved in his pockets.

"Who are you? Are you also from the Yes?" Xu Kai stared at Ye Chenfeng.

"Young Master Xu Kai, this little jerk is just a bodyguard from the Yes, nothing to fuss about," Ning Yuanhang said with a mocking laugh.

"Right, Young Master Xu Kai, does this little bodyguard really think he’s some big shot?" Ning Hongwen joined in.

"A mere bodyguard from the Yes dares to defy me in Wu State? Although I wouldn’t dare to touch a direct descendant of the Yes, you, a mere bodyguard—if I killed you, I doubt the Yes would say anything," Xu Kai laughed arrogantly.

"Idiot!" Ye Chenfeng said indifferently, and right after, a crisp slap rang out in the air, "Smack!" Ye Chenfeng’s right hand quickly flew out of his pocket, harshly slapping Xu Kai across the face.

"You... you dare to hit me? I... I definitely won’t let you off," Xu Kai stammered, feeling the burning pain on his cheek.

"I hit you, so what? Why all the nonsense?"

"Smack smack smack smack smack—"

As soon as Ye Chenfeng finished speaking, his right palm struck Xu Kai’s cheek again and again, each time harder than the last. Xu Kai’s teeth were knocked out by Ye Chenfeng, and as his head moved, his teeth flew out of his mouth one by one.

In no time, Xu Kai’s cheeks swelled greatly, turning him into a pig-headed mess, whimpering in his throat, unable to articulate a word.

The sudden outburst from Ye Chenfeng caught many people off guard. It took a good while for Xu Jian, who stood beside Xu Kai, to come back to his senses, his face covered in anger: "You little Yes bodyguard, today I won’t let you step out of the Ning’s door."

"That’s why I say the world is full of imbeciles. Do you think you have the ability to beat me? Do you have any help by your side? Daring to speak such idle boasts without any backup? Hopeless!"

With a "bang!" Ye Chenfeng kicked Xu Jian in the stomach. Xu Jian’s body immediately flew backward and crashed into a chair, clutching his stomach, forehead beaded with dense sweat.

"You pig-headed fool, daring to lay your hands on my aunt? I wasn’t even satisfied with the slapping just now! Let’s continue," Ye Chenfeng’s smile was terrifying.

Ye Chenfeng pulled Xu Kai’s hair with one hand and slapped him across the face with the other, "Smack smack smack smack—" the crisp sound echoed on Xu Kai’s cheeks. Eventually, perhaps feeling that slapping was not effective, Ye Chenfeng’s palm turned into a fist, "Bang bang bang bang bang—" punching Xu Kai’s face repeatedly. Xu Kai’s originally handsome features quickly became unrecognizable, a bloody mess. (To be continued.
