Chapter 1372: Like Disciple Like Master/ A Presumptuous Request
After the three of them sat down in sequence, they saw a woman in white walk slowly into the restaurant. It was Wang Ruoshui. However, she changed into a new set of clothes. When she first came, she had worn black skin-tight clothes just like a provocative assassin. It was no wonder that the disciples of Wang Family would treat her as a troublemaker.
But when Wang Ruoshui had come, she hadn’t brought along any luggage. Who knew where the white clothes had come from. However, when Wang Ruoshui approached, Yang Ming noticed that the clothes seemed to be quite old and the creases on them were very deep. These clothes likely belonged to Wang Ruoshui before she left the Wang Family many years ago. She had found and worn it again for this occasion.
Yang Ming was fine, but he noticed a tense breathing sound beside him. Yang Ming did not turn his head; he used his special ability to observe the situation beside him.
The person who was short of breath was Fang Tian. His fists were clenched and he stared excitedly at Wang Ruoshui who was not far from him.
On the other hand, Wang Songshan had no special expression, but he was slightly surprised by Wang Ruoshui’s outfit change. Maybe he had the same thoughts as Yang Ming currently did. After being surprised, he had remembered that this might be some of her clothing that had remained after Wang Ruoshui left home.
Wang Songshan was also puzzled by Fang Tian’s peculiar mood. This was not the first time he saw Wang Ruoshui. Before this, the three of them had talked in the study for a long time, so their emotions had already calmed down. If this was the first time that Fang Tian had seen Wang Ruoshui, then his expression at this moment could be understandable.
But they had already met. Previously in the study, Fang Tian and Wang Ruoshui had talked. Although the relationship between the two was not ideal, it was unlikely for him to actually show such an excited expression!
As for Fang Tian being fascinated by the current Wang Ruoshui… Although this was possible, Wang Songshan was not convinced. Wang Ruoshui looked like a beautiful young woman in her thirties even though she was in her forties. But Fang Tian was also someone in his forties or fifties at the moment. Even if he saw a beauty, he wouldn’t be so excited right? Besides, if he wanted to be excited, he would’ve already been excited before. Why would he be excited now?
While Yang Ming and Wang Songshan were puzzled, Fang Tian stood up slowly and walked towards Wang Ruoshui. He murmured something incomprehensible, but it seemed that his excited mood had not calmed down.
“Ruoshui, we met for the first time twenty-five years ago. You were wearing this white dress…” Fang Tian stood in front of Wang Ruoshui and said slowly.
Yang Ming and Wang Songshan listened to Fang Tian’s words and were stunned. They immediately understood why Fang Tian was so excited at this moment! It turned out that when the two had first met, Wang Ruoshui wore this dress. No wonder Fang Tian could not control himself.
Yang Ming didn’t understand the matters in the past, so he naturally wouldn’t understand these things. And although Wang Songshan was present at that scene twenty-five years ago, he was Wang Ruoshui’s brother, not her lover. Therefore, he didn’t care about what Wang Ruoshui wore, so it was normal that he didn’t remember.
“Really? I don’t remember.” Wang Ruoshui responded to Fang Tian plainly, as if she was afraid that he wouldn’t believe it. She then added, “The clothes I wore were a bit dirty and uncomfortable to wear, so I simply found these old clothes. I plan to throw them away after today.”
Yang Ming and Wang Songshan couldn’t help but smile bitterly. How could Wang Ruoshui tell such a clumsy lie? Finding this specific set of clothes, can it really be coincidental?
Yang Ming and Wang Songshan could notice that it was a lie. Naturally, Fang Tian could also discern it. His expression was no different from Yang Ming and Wang Songshan. He smiled bitterly first, then said, “Is it? What I’m wearing is also the same as back then.”
“Nonsense. The suit you wore was also white.” Wang Ruoshui frowned as she looked at the gray cashmere coat on Fang Tian. However, Wang Ruoshui immediately saw Fang Tian’s strange smile. Her face froze and her ears reddened. She snorted coldly, “How would I know what you wore? What does the clothing you wear have to do with me?”
After Yang Ming heard Fang Tian’s words, he almost slapped the table and shouted his praises. He is truly my master. Like disciple like master; isn’t this the usual tactic that I use? Fang Tian actually used the same perfect technique. In a few words, Wang Ruoshui was roped in.
Even Wang Songshan looked at Fang Tian with admiration. He secretly said in his heart, I haven’t seen him in recent years. Old Man Fang’s methods of flirting have become much better. If he was like this back then, the tragedy wouldn’t have happened.
Seeing Yang Ming secretly giving him the thumbs up, Fang Tian chuckled and looked at Wang Ruoshui shamelessly, “Well, no matter what you are wearing, the meal still needs to be eaten. Ms. Wang Ruoshui, please sit down.” Fang Tian helped Wang Ruoshui pull out her seat as he said so.
Wang Ruoshui snorted softly and said nothing. She sat on the chair pulled out by Fang Tian, while he sat beside her with a smile.
“Ha, this is also a reunion dinner!” Wang Songshan knew that the atmosphere would be awkward, so he mediated, “It has been a long time since there is a family banquet; this restaurant has been quite deserted!”
“Family banquet? Who is a family member with the two of them?” Wang Ruoshui gave Fang Tian and Yang Ming a faint glance and refuted coldly.
Yang Ming was basically immune to women who had been hurt and were experiencing menopause. He was too lazy to argue with her. This woman’s identity was special. She was the aunt of the fiancee who he had never met, and she might also become his master’s future wife. So Yang Ming would not provoke this kind of person if he could; it was best to stay away.
Fang Tian naturally knew that Wang Ruoshui’s remarks were directed at himself. As for Yang Ming, he was just caught in the middle. He touched his chin but couldn’t argue, he could only ask Wang Songshan for help.
Wang Songshan looked at Fang Tian’s pitiful look and was secretly very happy! Wang Songshan had a bad opinion about Fang Tian due to Wang Ruoshui’s matter in the past. But because they had been friends for many years, it was impossible for him to break off their friendship. However, when there was an opportunity, they would start to bicker. So when Fang Tian suffered, Wang Songshan was still very happy to see it.
However, Wang Songshan had to help Fang Tian out of trouble this time. If it were other matters, Wang Songshan would definitely be happy to see Fang Tian suffer. In fact, he probably would have helped others ridicule Fang Tian. But this time was different!
If Fang Tian and Wang Ruoshui could become a couple, Wang Songshan’s longstanding heart knot would be resolved. If his sister was happy, he would have nothing to worry about anymore. Of course, if Wang Ruoshui really hated Fang Tian at this moment, Wang Songshan would help his sister to continue to fight against Fang Tian, but he was not stupid. He could see that although Wang Ruoshui had deep grudges with Fang Tian, Fang Tian was still in her heart. Therefore, Wang Songshan didn’t mind being a peacemaker.
He knew that Wang Ruoshui’s sarcasm towards Fang Tian was not sincere. It was nothing more than the issue of a woman’s face. Back then, her engagement had been mercilessly broken off by Fang Tian, and her face was lost. How could the knot in her heart be resolved so easily? Although she secretly still had feelings for Fang Tian, she must have a suitable way to let go of those dissatisfactions in her heart.
If Wang Songshan mediated more at this time, Wang Ruoshui would likely have enough face to accept Fang Tian, which was what he would like to see. So when he saw Fang Tian asking for help, he helped him out, “Sister, although Fang Tian and I are not blood-related, we are better than brothers. He was already considered a member of our family a long time ago. Also, young Yang Ming was considered as my son-in-law before the engagement was broken, so he can attend the family banquet.”
“Breaking the engagement? Are you still thinking about breaking off the engagement?” Wang Ruoshui’s face turned cold and she looked at Yang Ming slightly coldly.
Yang Ming thought, This Wang Songshan, why did he involve me needlessly? Even if Wang Ruoshui is just trying to ridicule me, I don’t care much about it. However, Wang Songshan mentioned the issue of the engagement again, and it provoked Wang Ruoshui’s anger for no reason.
However, now that he had been mentioned, Yang Ming knew that it was useless to cower. He had to brace himself to say, “Senior Wang Ruoshui, you don’t know the inside story. I am afraid that your niece also does not agree with this marriage, right?”
Chapter 1500: A Presumptuous Request
“How would you know whether my niece agrees or disagrees?” Wang Ruoshui sneered, “Moreover, our Butterfly Family is a prestigious top family in Europe. If you break off the engagement, how would that make us look?”
“This-” Yang Ming sighed secretly, knowing that he could not reason with Wang Ruoshui using common sense. This woman’s heart was abnormal and even stubborn. After her engagement was broken off by Fang Tian back then, she had become unusually sensitive to engagement matters.
On the contrary, she had initially rejected her marriage agreement with Fang Tian. However, after seeing and interacting with him, Wang Ruoshui could not help but fall in love. In her opinion, as long as her niece met Yang Ming, the marriage would most probably be set in stone. Yang Ming had been giving all sorts of excuses and he wanted to break off the engagement before he even met her. He just didn’t put the Butterfly Family in his eyes!
“I’m telling you that you have to be engaged, even if you don’t want to. Why don’t you think about how you can beat me!?” Wang Ruoshui scolded Yang Ming mercilessly.
“Senior Wang Ruoshui, aren’t you just forcing me?” Yang Ming was helpless. Since he debuted, this was the first time he had experienced the feelings of a man with a pen who can’t reason with a man with a gun…
If the person in front of him was not Wang Songshan’s sister or Old Man Fang’s old lover, Yang Ming might have attacked her until she changed her mind. However, Yang Ming knew that he couldn’t fight ruthlessly with Wang Ruoshui!
Yang Ming felt that he was more outstanding than the average assassin. But in the face of a guy with an abnormal level like Fang Tian, Yang Ming could only be beaten. Besides, Wang Songshan was also there. If Yang Ming bullied Wang Ruoshui, could Wang Songshan just ignore it?
In the end, the situation would probably become a three-on-one battle. Yang Ming felt terrified just thinking about it; this was something that he could not endure.
“I don’t know if I’m forcing people or not. But I’ve said it already, I believe your master won’t object.” Wang Ruoshui glanced at Fang Tian when she said this.
“*Cough*…” Fang Tian coughed twice with sweat dripping down his forehead. He turned to look at Yang Ming, “Yang Ming, why don’t you just marry Ruoshui’s niece? You see Ruoshui is so beautiful, her niece will certainly not be bad, right?”
Yang Ming rolled his eyes and thought, I knew that this old man was unreliable. If I had known earlier that it would be like this, I wouldn’t have followed and come over no matter what he said. Isn’t he just looking for trouble?
“Ai…” Yang Ming sighed secretly, “Then, Senior Wang Ruoshui, if I beat you, I have to marry your niece. If I lose, I have to stay here and continue to practice until I can win. But what happens if we tied?”
“Tied?” Wang Ruoshui was slightly stunned, and couldn’t help but laugh. She had lived deep in the mountains for many years, and there was a mysterious senior that had rescued and taught her martial arts. Wang Ruoshui felt that she was no worse than Fang Tian!
In her opinion, Yang Ming, a young man in his twenties, couldn’t win unless she deliberately lost the contest on purpose. Therefore, it was impossible to have a draw.
“What?” Yang Ming saw Wang Ruoshui’s playful expression, and couldn’t help but be taken aback a little. Could this woman have any cards in her hand?
“That’s impossible,” Wang Ruoshui said plainly, her words full of absolute confidence.
“Impossible?” Yang Ming looked at Wang Ruoshui’s arrogance and took a deep breath, “Maybe, but Senior Wang Ruoshui, Junior has a presumptuous request. I don’t know if you dare to agree to it?”
“Presumptuous request? In that case, why do you still mention it?” Wang Ruoshui smiled as if she saw through Yang Ming’s purpose. “You ask me if I dare to agree, but do you know that this is a bad plan to prod me into action?”
Yang Ming’s face was slightly reddened, but he didn’t have the intention to cower. At this time, he couldn’t cower. If he took a step forward, he might seize his own interests. If he took a step back, he could only be trampled on.
“Since Senior Wang Ruoshui is so confident that we cannot fight to a tie, then I would like to ask Senior Wang Ruoshui to agree with this Junior. If we really have a tie, then you have to let me leave.” Yang Ming ignored Wang Ruoshui’s ridicule and voiced out his thoughts.
“Oh?” After listening to Yang Ming, Wang Ruoshui looked at him with interest, “You have a lot of requirements. But do you think it is possible for you to reach a tie with me?”
“Since Senior Wang Ruoshui does not think it is possible, then it’s okay to agree with Junior, right?” Yang Ming quickly said, “Senior Wang Ruoshui, Junior can guarantee that no matter if I lose or win, I will be obedient and get engaged with your niece. There won’t be any more arguments!”
” Hehe, you have learned how to make requests.” Wang Ruoshui looked at Yang Ming coldly, but she considered the request made by him in her heart. Wang Ruoshui looked at Yang Ming’s cheeky look and further thought that it was impossible for him to win. In this case, it was okay to promise him, so that he wouldn’t be dissatisfied. As long as she won, he wouldn’t be so naggy again.
Even if this kid is really talented and is better than me, then I’ll just show my weakness and lose. There is no possibility of a tie. Therefore, Wang Ruoshui thought of this and made up her mind, “Okay, if I don’t agree with you and force you to get engaged, you will be dissatisfied. If so, then I’ll agree with you. However, you must remember the promises you made. Don’t mention other requests after you lose, I won’t agree to them.”
“Don’t worry, Senior Wang Ruoshui. Junior only has this one requirement. If it is really impossible to tie, then Junior will naturally accept Senior Wang Ruoshui’s command willingly.” Although Yang Ming’s words were very firm, he was still nervous in his heart.
However, this was already the maximum he could strive for. Yang Ming also knew that he was now in other people’s territory and was surrounded by their people. Even if Wang Ruoshui did not agree with his request, there was nothing he could do.
Now there was at least a glimmer of hope. Although Yang Ming himself was not sure, it was better than the previous situation. Ai, Fang Tian has now become Wang Ruoshui’s person. It seems that I can only rely on myself.
“Okay, tomorrow morning, we’ll meet at the training ground.” Wang Ruoshui didn’t give Yang Ming any breathing space and set the time directly to tomorrow morning. She was also afraid that Yang Ming would come up with a way to deal with it! Although it seemed that Fang Tian was currently leaning to her side, he might secretly give Yang Ming a pointer or two. Therefore, Wang Ruoshui took advantage before Fang Tian could understand how things stand and finalized the time.
“Since Senior has set the time, this Junior should follow suit!” Yang Ming hesitated. Although he also felt that the time set was a bit hasty, there was nothing he could do. Wang Ruoshui had already taken a step back and agreed to his request. If Yang Ming asked for more, Wang Ruoshui would definitely be dissatisfied with him, and she might not even agree with the previous request.
However, Fang Tian and Wang Songshan did not have any peculiar expressions on their faces. Anyway, this was just a farce. Even if Yang Ming won, lost, or really had a tie, it did not matter, because their final trump card was the relationship between Wang Xiaoyan and Yang Ming’. They were already sleeping together, how would they still want to break off the engagement?
Yang Ming glanced at Fang Tian secretly, but found that the old guy was still calm. Yang Ming knew that he couldn’t put hope on Fang Tian. If he asked Fang Tian for some advice, he might even deliberately lead him to a dead-end to please Wang Ruoshui.
“See you tomorrow then.” Wang Ruoshui admired Yang Ming for his courage to calmly agree.
