The Strongest Dandy in the City-Chapter 98 Uncle’s Meeting (Seeking Recommendations and Favorites)
Chapter 98: Chapter 98 Uncle’s Meeting (Seeking Recommendations and Favorites)
In the days that followed, no member of Victory Sky Society complained again, no matter how rigorous and brutal the training was. Whenever they recalled the words Ye Chenfeng had said, they would silently repeat to themselves, "I want to live like a human being."
As Fast Beauty and Victory Sky Society thrived in Tianhai, Capital City was also stirred by the dissolution of the engagement between the Yes and the Bais. Yet, to the confusion of the people in Capital City, there was news that the Yes had formed an alliance with the Wus.
Even though the Yes and the Wus were very close, wasn’t the Wus’ behavior tantamount to pushing Wu Xiaofei into a pit of fire? Who in Capital City didn’t know that Ye Chenfeng was an idiot plagued by panic disorder? Apart from a few people in the Wus who knew the details about Ye Chenfeng, many others opposed the marriage.
Old Master Wu became furious at that time and made it very clear, "Whoever dares to oppose this marriage, I will immediately drive them out of the Wus, and they will have nothing to do with the Wus ever again."
With Old Master Wu’s words being so absolute, how could the other collateral members of the Wus dare say more? In Old Master Wu’s view, these people were simply fools. When Ye Chenfeng made his strong comeback, they would realize how ignorant and ridiculous they were.
These past few days, Bai Xueling often heard about the alliance between the Yes and the Wus. She originally made trouble in the Bais, insisting that her grandfather Bai Hongfang dissolve the engagement, all to help her best friend Zhao Wanting.
Now, all her efforts seemed to have been in vain, and in her heart, she bitterly cursed Ye Chenfeng, "No man is good; they are all fickle playboys."
If Ye Chenfeng in Tianhai knew what Bai Xueling was thinking, he would certainly cry foul, as he still didn’t know that the Yes had dissolved their engagement with the Bais, let alone the alliance between the Yes and the Wus.
After much hesitation, Bai Xueling finally dialed Zhao Wanting’s phone number. She hadn’t contacted Zhao Wanting since she returned from Tianhai last time.
After all, an indistinct awkwardness hung between them due to Ye Chenfeng’s matter. The call was quickly answered, and Zhao Wanting’s voice came from the other end, "Xueling, why did you think of calling me today? Do you miss me?"
Zhao Wanting’s voice sounded calm over the phone, revealing no abnormalities. Bai Xueling asked, "Wanting, how are things going with you and Ye Chenfeng?"
"Xueling, Ye Chenfeng and I are from two different worlds, so there won’t be any outcome between us," Zhao Wanting replied matter-of-factly.
"Wanting, I know you like Ye Chenfeng. I’ve already gotten my grandfather to dissolve the engagement with the Yes, but I heard that the Yes seem to have set an engagement with the Wus of Capital City." Bai Xueling didn’t know how Zhao Wanting was feeling, so she shared the news through the phone.
When Zhao Wanting heard the first part of Bai Xueling’s statement, a strong sense of joy surged in her heart. But as she heard the latter part, she felt as though she had fallen from heaven into hell. She was stupefied for a moment and did not respond to Bai Xueling for a long time.
"Wanting, Wanting, are you all right?" Bai Xueling asked anxiously when she heard no response from the other end.
"Xueling, I’m a bit tired. Let’s stop here for today," Zhao Wanting said.
Bai Xueling wanted to say more, but all she heard was the "beep beep beep" of the busy signal. She couldn’t help but pout, "Ye Chenfeng, the next time you come back to Capital City, I will definitely make you pay. I told you not to let me find out that you’ve bullied Wanting."
...
In Tianhai, inside the room of Zhao Wanting from the Zhaos.
Zhao Wanting lay curled up on the soft bed, her fair and delicate cheeks already soaked with tears. The tears traced down her face, flowing over her lips and into her mouth, leaving a bitter taste to spread on her tastebuds.
With her slender fingers, she wiped her damp eyes. A faint, dismal smile appeared on Zhao Wanting’s soft lips as she thought sadly, "Chenfeng, I hope you can be happy in the future. I’ve never regretted meeting you."
...
Business plans and the development of the underworld had taken their first steps. These days, Ye Chenfeng’s life had become more relaxed again. Currently, improving his strength was the most important thing. He was considering whether he should make a trip to the border’s Primeval Forest. After all, Tie Niu, who had sold him the Yun Teng Mushroom at the black market, had left him an address!
Just as Ye Chenfeng was deep in thought, his uncle Ye Dongjian called him to invite him out for a meal, and Ye Dongjian’s tone over the phone was quite "suggestive"!
Ye Dongjian already knew about everything that had happened in Capital City. The fact that the Bais had annulled the engagement had made him very angry. However, when he learned that the Yes and the Wus were going to enter into a marriage alliance, his mood had somewhat recovered. He had always felt that Wu Xiaofei was quite a good match for his nephew.
The two agreed to meet at a mid-sized restaurant in Tianhai. Ye Dongjian had arrived early and had already booked a private room. As soon as Ye Chenfeng walked into the room, he quickly stood up and landed a punch on Ye Chenfeng’s chest, laughing and saying, "Chenfeng, you’re getting more and more solid. Back in the day, a light touch from me would have you in pain for half a day! When are you free to come back and help me train the marksmanship of those rascals under me?"
"Uncle, you didn’t call me out today to talk about that, did you?" Ye Chenfeng chuckled and found a seat to sit down.
"What, can’t I, your uncle, want to see you anymore?" Ye Dongjian really had no way to deal with this nephew of his. After all, he was outdone by Ye Chenfeng in every aspect now!
"Uncle, just say what you need to. I don’t have time to deal with other things at the moment. But when I do have time, I’ll definitely go to the Strong Soldier Training Camp to help you out," Ye Chenfeng said.
"That’s more like it." Ye Dongjian nodded in satisfaction and continued, "Chenfeng, you really do have good luck with women. You’ve already had your engagement with Bai Xueling annulled, but the old man has now set up another marriage for you. I think Xiaofei is quite nice, and you two have a good relationship, right? Maybe becoming husband and wife isn’t such a bad idea."
"What? Grandpa has arranged a marriage for me and Xiaofei?" Ye Chenfeng couldn’t help but question. He wasn’t surprised that the Bais and the Yes had annulled the marriage, but he never expected the old man to arrange an engagement with Wu Xiaofei for him. Although he had kissed her the last time he was in Capital City, now Ye Chenfeng really considered her just as a sister.
"What’s the matter? Are you too happy? Xiaofei is much better than that girl from the Bais, at least she’s not squeamish. She also looks good, and she’s quite a match for you. Don’t be dissatisfied, or I, your uncle, will get upset with you," said Ye Dongjian, patting Ye Chenfeng’s shoulder and speaking cheerfully, "Alright, Chenfeng, today I wanted to meet you just to offer my congratulations. There’s nothing else. Let’s, uncle and nephew, have a drink first."
Ye Dongjian picked up the wine glass filled to the brim with red wine from the table and gulped down the large glass of wine in one go.
