754 -754: The Opportunistic Father

Tang Rou had been ready to tell her parents that her man wasn’t afraid of the Wu family and that they didn’t need to worry anymore.

However, as soon as she came downstairs, her father didn’t give her a chance to speak.

When she heard him speak so harshly to Ye Fei, she couldn’t help but get angry.

With Ye Fei by her side, she no longer feared that her parents would suffer any consequences.

She grabbed Ye Fei’s hand and said, “Honey, let’s go!”

“Stop right there!” Tang Zhizhong roared, stepping forward and slapping Ye Fei’s hand away from Tang Rou’s grip.

He continued to yell at Tang Rou, “If you dare take even one step out of this house, you’re no longer my daughter!”

Tang Rou was a very filial person, which was why she had chosen to sacrifice herself in the first place when faced with the dilemma.

Hearing her father’s harsh words, her face turned pale, and tears welled up in her big eyes as she looked at Tang Zhizhong in disbelief.

Ye Fei’s heart ached to see her like this.

He wanted to teach Tang Zhizhong a lesson, but he couldn’t do anything because of Tang Rou.

Instead, he stepped forward and wrapped his arms around her trembling body, silently comforting her.

“Zhizhong, maybe we should just let them be.

The Wu family isn’t unreasonable.

If they explain things properly, it should be fine,” Ji Shuixiu, who had been silent until now, suddenly spoke up.

She was a woman who didn’t have much of a backbone and had been influenced by Tang Zhizhong’s attitude earlier, leading her to make that decision.

But now, seeing her daughter heartbroken, she softened.

“No!” Tang Zhizhong firmly refused.

He knew exactly what kind of family the Wu family was.

If they were to deceive them, the Wu family’s wrath would be something he couldn’t bear.

Even if the Wu family didn’t pursue the matter, he didn’t want to change his mind.

The opportunity to form a connection with a true martial arts family had always been his dream.

Although her father’s attitude remained resolute, her mother’s words gave Tang Rou, who was heartbroken, a bit of comfort.

The rebellious feeling she had earlier disappeared, and she said to Ji Shuixiu, “Mom, we don’t need to worry about the Wu family.

Ye Fei is friends with them, and they won’t give us any trouble.”

“Really?

That’s wonderful!” Ji Shuixiu exclaimed with joy.

If things could end this way, she would be more than happy.

Although it meant losing the chance to form a connection with a true martial arts family, as a mother, what she wanted most was her daughter’s happiness.

However, Tang Zhizhong’s expression changed drastically.

This news was terrible for him, and for a moment, he was at a loss.

To prevent Ye Fei from ruining his plans, he threw aside any concern for his daughter’s happiness or the friendship between their families.

He yelled at Ye Fei, “Ye Fei, get out of here!

You’re not welcome here!”

“Dad, what are you saying?” Tang Rou looked at her father in disbelief.

She had thought that after revealing this, everyone would be happy, but she never expected her father’s attitude to become even more intense.

By this point, Ye Fei had completely lost hope in this man.

He sneered and was about to expose Tang Zhizhong’s dirty thoughts when a middle-aged man hurried in from outside and said to Tang Zhizhong, “Mr.

Tang, Mr.

Wu Guanghua from the Wu family is here.”

“What?” Tang Zhizhong was shocked.

He hadn’t even figured out how to deal with Ye Fei yet, and now Wu Guanghua had arrived.

This made him even more flustered.

However, he didn’t dare to neglect the Wu family.

He didn’t even bother dealing with Ye Fei anymore and said to the man, “Come on, let’s go greet him!”

It wasn’t until Tang Zhizhong was out of sight that Tang Rou snapped out of her shock at her father’s unreasonable attitude.

She looked at Ji Shuixiu, who looked somewhat ashamed, and asked, “Mom, what’s going on?”

By now, Ji Shuixiu didn’t want to hide anything from her daughter anymore.

She explained how Tang Zhizhong had actively sought to form a marriage alliance with the Wu family.

At the end, she added, “Tang Rou, don’t blame your father.

Although he has his interests at heart, his intentions were for your good.”

Although Ji Shuixiu’s peacemaking approach wasn’t entirely appropriate, Ye Fei’s dislike for her lessened significantly.

Even if she was indecisive and somewhat opportunistic, as long as she genuinely cared for her family, Ye Fei could appreciate that.

He couldn’t help but glance at her, and this glance made his heart skip a beat.

Although she was a bit plump and her figure wasn’t as perfect as Liu Yiru’s, she was still quite attractive and hadn’t let herself go too much.

Moreover, holding a soft, plump body like hers must be quite comfortable.

Stop, stop right there!

As soon as this thought crossed his mind, Ye Fei immediately shut it down.

Tang Rou was still upset, so how could he even think about her mother?

“Tang Rou, your mother is right.

Your father just wants the best for you.

Who wouldn’t want their daughter to marry well?”

Ye Fei admitted that he was lying this time, but to make Tang Rou feel better, he had to say these words.

Sure enough, hearing Ye Fei say this, Tang Rou felt a bit better, though her mood was still low.

She leaned softly against his chest and didn’t say anything.

For a moment, the living room fell into a brief silence.

Meanwhile, Tang Zhizhong, accompanied by the servant, quickly made his way to the villa’s entrance.

There, he saw three people waiting: Wu Guanghua, his son, and between them, a stunningly beautiful young woman.

Tang Zhizhong secretly speculated about the young woman’s identity, but he didn’t forget his manners.

He clasped his fists and said to Wu Guanghua, “Brother Wu, it’s an honor to have you here.

Please, come in!”

“Mr.

Tang, you’re too kind,” Wu Guanghua returned the gesture but didn’t immediately enter.

Instead, he turned to the stunning young woman in the middle and said, “Alliance Leader Ye, please go first.”

Tang Zhizhong’s heart skipped a beat.

Because he had been eager to form a marriage alliance with the Wu family, he had made an effort to learn about the hidden martial world.

Although his status didn’t allow him to hear any secretive information, he did know about the recent election of a martial alliance leader.

Seeing Wu Guanghua show such respect to this young woman and address her as “Alliance Leader,” he immediately realized who she was.

He quickly bowed and said, “Tang Zhizhong greets the Alliance Leader.”

The young woman was, of course, Ye Zhilin.

Because of Tang Rou’s situation, she had no goodwill toward Tang Zhizhong.

She waved her hand dismissively and said, “Enough with the formalities.

Old Wu has something to discuss with you today.

Talk to him.”

Although he had been rudely dismissed, Tang Zhizhong didn’t dare show the slightest bit of dissatisfaction.

He leaned closer to Wu Guanghua and asked, “Brother Wu, what brings you here today?”
