Chapter 1301 1301: Settling It Privately
I don't know. Even if it's something that can be forgiven, it will still leave a bad impression on Yu. If it can be handled in private, it's best to handle it in private.
But right now, the people in the villa seemed to be talking about something. Clearly, they were visitors, not family members.
"I'm Xu Le."
Xu Le hurriedly answered and caught up, while also looking into the villa.
The security captain said, "You're Xu Le, who is he?"
"He's my brother Ye. He's with me," Xu said. "Step aside. I'm going in with him."
The security guard was very professional. He reached out to block Ye Fengsheng. "Mr. Yu only said Xu Le could go in, he didn't mention anyone else."
"Let them both in."
Suddenly, the butler's voice came from inside the villa. The first security guard quickly turned around, agreed, then took a good look at Ye Fengsheng, warning, "Don't do anything rash, we'll be guarding outside. If there's any commotion, we'll rush in immediately."
Ye Fengsheng said nothing.
He stepped forward to pick up the cup that had fallen to the ground. Ye Fengsheng put it back on the coffee table in front of him, reached out and patted Xu Le's shoulder, signaling him to calm down, then turned his head and asked, "Is that what you mean, or what Yu Yang means?"
"Oh?"
Huang Zhongtang glanced at Ye Fengsheng and said, "Who are you? What does this have to do with you?"
"Ye Fengsheng, from Jianghai City."
"You're Fengsheng?"
The name seemed familiar, but Huang Zhongtang didn't care. He shook his head and said, "Never heard of you. Did you come alone, or with Xu Le?"
Ye Fengsheng raised an eyebrow. "Does it matter?"
"Then I'll take it as you being with Xu Le."
It seemed Huang Zhongtang wasn't used to looking up at people when he spoke. He stood up from the sofa, likewise looking at Ye Fengsheng. "If you came here tonight to cause trouble, then leave now. For Xu Haishan's sake, I can overlook Xu Le clashing with my fiancée. Otherwise…"
Yu Yang didn't want his innocent daughter to be subjected to this kind of humiliation, so he immediately opened his mouth to stop his daughter. "Naive, watch your mouth!"
Huang Zhongtang turned back to glance at Yu Yang, then took a sip of tea from his cup.
"You bastard! Since when? Yu Xiyu is my girlfriend!"
Xu Le was furious and suddenly shot up from his seat. "She's never mentioned you to me! Why are you marrying her?"
"Is that so?"
It was like a smile, yet not. But the look in Huang Zhongtang's eyes turned even stranger as he looked at Yu Yang. He reached up to rub his nose, laughing as he said, "Uncle Yu, since when did Xiyu have a boyfriend? Didn't you say she's always been single?"
Yu Yang was like a drowning man suddenly tangled in a lifeline. Cold sweat instantly beaded his forehead in large drops. His hands flapped up and down; when he couldn't find anywhere to put them, he could only clasp them tightly together.
"Naive, it's a misunderstanding, it must be a misunderstanding! Xiyu's only been in Jianghai City for two months. How could she have a boyfriend? You grew up with her. What kind of temperament she has, don't you know?"
Like a cat whose tail had been stepped on, Yu Yang, who had lived more than forty years, also sprang to his feet. After this explanation, he turned to stare at Xu Le. "Nephew Xu, stop spouting nonsense here. Hurry up and leave. I won't let you see Xiyu. Xiyu doesn't want to see you either."
"Why? Uncle Yu, Xiyu and I like each other. I came all this way. Why won't you let me see her? If you've run into any trouble, you can tell me, I can help you! My dad and Brother Ye can help you!"
Even someone as inexperienced with the world as Xu Le could clearly feel that Yu Yang's words were steeped in terror toward Huang Zhongtang. So he spoke his mind directly.
In any case, Ye Fengsheng was watching from the side. No matter how big the matter, there was nothing he couldn't handle!
"Get out!"
Xu Le's arguing seemed to enrage Yu Yang. After cursing Xu Le out, he still refused to move. Yu Yang immediately shouted at the butler, "Call security! Throw them out!"
"Uncle, if that's how it is, I won't trouble you. I'll handle it."
With a gloomy face, Huang Zhongtang said faintly, "No matter what, Xiyu is my fiancée. Even though the engagement ceremony hasn't been held yet, everyone in Qin City knows about it. Xu Le came all the way from Jianghai City to smear Xiyu's reputation and disgrace the Yu Family and my Huang Family. If I'm being straightforward, I ought to deal with this myself."
"Old man, his father is Xu Haishan!"
Yu Yang lowered his voice in reminder.
Huang Zhongtang didn't respond, but he clearly didn't care. Out of the corner of his eye he glanced at the group sitting to his left. After that brief look, he slowly sat back on the sofa, took a sip of tea, and said lightly, "What are you waiting for?"
As soon as he finished speaking, three people immediately stood up. They stared at Xu Le and Ye Fengsheng with ugly expressions and slowly closed the distance.
"Did you come here to propose, or to duel?"
Ye Fengsheng was baffled, and ignored the three bodyguards quickly closing in. He couldn't make sense of it. "If three bodyguards came to my house with someone, I'd be worried about what I'd done wrong and would have left ahead of time."
His expression changed slightly; the veneer of calm on Huang Zhongtang's face was almost gone. Staring at Ye Fengsheng, he caught a hint of coldness. "You talk too much. Since you're Hee Xu—
If you're so eager, go out there with him."
Raising an eyebrow, Ye Fengsheng tilted his head at him. "You sure about that?"
That was interesting. Huang Zhongtang looked at him. "You think I'm joking with you?"
"Oh, I forgot. You and Xu Le are from Jianghai City. You're new here. You don't know my habits. Since that's the case…"
Huang Zhongtang set down his teacup and said, "You tell him for me."
"Huang Shao never jokes with people who aren't his friends!"
The blue veins on the raised fist bulged out. The leading bodyguard rushed up to Ye Fengsheng, knuckle-first, swinging a punch straight at Ye Fengsheng's cheek.
The palm that landed on Ye Fengsheng's arm belonged to the butler who had been silent. There was a slight fleshy ridge on that palm; midair, the fingers curled into a claw, appearing right at Ye Fengsheng's wrist at a strange angle. After a rapid shake, at a speed the naked eye couldn't track, he snapped and lifted the wrist, trying to use this sort of block to quickly interrupt the gathering of force and strip away Ye Fengsheng's ability to attack.
Without even a flicker of his eyelids, Ye Fengsheng neither dodged nor flinched. Yet as his step slowed, his elbow suddenly bent, and that heavy elbow smashed straight into the butler's cheekbone in the most direct way. A faint cracking sound immediately rang in everyone's ears. At the same time, the butler's body flew backward, slamming into the living room door behind him with a huge, terrifying bang.
"A Martial Arts practitioner?"
He stopped, turned his head to look at the shattered door, and Ye Fengsheng sneered. "Within Martial Arts, who doesn't know the name Ye Fengsheng?"
"You're Fengsheng?"
The scene in the hall was so shocking that Yu Yang suddenly opened his eyes wide, staring suspiciously at the young man before him. "You're that Ye Fengsheng who killed Martial Arts Master Dong Sanyuan, the number one man in Martial Arts?"
"Oh?"
Ye Feng turned around and looked at him beneath raised brows. "You know my name, and you still dared to challenge me?"
"Y-you, how could you possibly be Ye Fengsheng?"
Yu Yang was well-informed in his daily life; otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to hire such a strong Inner Strength expert to look after his house and protect his estate. He often heard the housekeeper talk about Martial Arts. Because of that, he stared at all this in disbelief. This couldn't be, this shouldn't be the Ye Fengsheng he'd heard of. His brows knit quickly. "Mr. Dong—Dong Sanyuan is the number one Martial Arts Master, isn't he? You, if you're Ye Fengsheng, how could you defeat him at your age?"
