Fang Yu disdainfully said:
"This is more like it. I’ll call you back in a little while."
Chen Daotian felt like crying.
"Bro, it’s not cool to build your happiness on my misery. You’re not acting like a brother, but like a beast!"
"Cut the crap, how dare you call your dad a beast?" Fang Yu glared.
"No, no, I didn’t mean that."
"I don’t want to waste words on you. I need to chase after my wife." Fang Yu was about to hang up the phone—
Chen Daotian quickly said:
"Hold on, don’t hang up yet, I haven’t finished."
"Speak."
"Black Wood Lotus has appeared."
Upon hearing this, Fang Yu was startled and said puzzledly, "Isn’t Black Wood Lotus with the Jin Family? They are so bold to let Black Wood Lotus appear?"
"Who knows. I got the news that at next week’s auction in Yanjing East District, they will auction Black Wood Lotus on the spot!" Chen Daotian explained.
"Is the Jin Family that desperate for money?" Fang Yu couldn’t understand.
"I’m not sure about that. Whatever the case, let’s just secure it when the time comes. I think there’s more to this, so I’ve booked tickets for this afternoon’s auction to get some intel. Are you interested in coming along?" Chen Daotian sounded eager.
"Okay." Fang Yu responded indifferently.
"At two o’clock this afternoon, meet at Xizhimen in the East District."
Snap, the phone hung up.
Fang Yu was about to turn around to find Ye Wenjun, but as he turned, Ye Wenjun was staring at him with wide eyes, not moving at all.
"Darn it, can you not appear and disappear so unexpectedly!" Fang Yu was speechless.
"Are you going to the auction?"
"Yeah." Fang Yu replied.
"Great, I want to go too. I heard there are some good items at the auction." Ye Wenjun said.
Fang Yu paused for a moment; this trip to the auction was purely to probe the venue. Since the Jin Family was hosting the auction here, they must have checked the place in advance.
In other words, it could be dangerous.
He was about to refuse, but Ye Wenjun grabbed him and said, "Let’s go."
"Uh..."
The female CEO can be quite imposing when she wants to be.
Ye Wenjun dragged Fang Yu into a luxury car, and with a humming sound, it drove off into the distance.
Passersby witnessing this scene showed looks of envy.
Alas, the girlfriend that belongs to someone else! Other people’s girlfriends never disappoint.
...
When they arrived at Xizhimen, Fang Yu didn’t get out of the car but said, "I have a friend coming over, let’s wait for him."
"A friend? You have friends in Yanjing?"
Ye Wenjun didn’t know much about Fang Yu, but she knew the Fang Family had been wiped out... and that practically all the Martial Arts Families in Yanjing were his sworn enemies. Having friends here would be odd.
"Hey, a woman’s perspective. Why can’t I have friends?" Fang Yu argued justifiably.
"Just a heads up, the Jin Family has shares in this auction house." Ye Wenjun said casually.
"I know."
"You really want to seek revenge on them?" Ye Wenjun asked, slightly frowning.
Fang Yu’s expression suddenly turned serious, and he spoke slowly:
"Wenjun, there are some things I need to make clear to you first." His tone paused then continued, "First, I saved the Ye Family because the Ye Family had once saved the Fang Family; second, I agreed to register for marriage with you because I need to fulfill the marital agreement; you and I got married, also to give each other a chance. But—please do not repeatedly cross my bottom line."
Ye Wenjun shuddered.
She noticed that Fang Yu addressed her as "Wenjun" instead of the previous "wife".
"Bottom line?" Ye Wenjun slightly opened her lips, puzzled.
"Anyone who destroys the Fang Family, even if he is as high as the emperor himself, must die!" Fang Yu’s eyes turned cold, "Since you are my woman, you should stand by my side... Whether it’s life or death, fortune or disaster, happiness or sorrow... Can you do that?"
Ye Wenjun was stunned in place.
Fang Yu chuckled softly and said, "If you can’t do it... I think there’s no need to wait a year."
"You..." Ye Wenjun was slightly astonished and rendered speechless.
"We can divorce anytime." Fang Yu opened the car door and stepped out.
Watching Fang Yu’s departing figure, Ye Wenjun was flooded with various thoughts.
Thinking about all the temperamental behavior today, wasn’t it all because she cared, displaying a bit of her petty side? She had never been like this before.
Ye Wenjun found it strange, wondering why she was behaving this way?
After a long silence, Ye Wenjun spoke softly and succinctly, "Understood."
She got out of the car.
Approaching Fang Yu, she looked him in the eyes and said seriously, "The revenge must be taken, but no one should die."
After saying that, she turned and started walking towards the entrance of the auction venue.
As if intentionally maintaining a distance, she stopped once she reached the entrance.
At the same time.
A black sedan came speeding in.
With a clatter, Chen Daotian hurriedly got out, removed his sunglasses, and rushed towards Fang Yu.
"Bro! You are too good to me, waiting here for me!"
"..."
"Did you receive the money? A million! It’s bleeding my heart." Chen Daotian said with a sorrowful face.
Fang Yu pulled out his phone to check the message, indeed received a million, and then punched him in the chest, "Thanks, I’ll pay you back."
Chen Daotian paused, seeing Fang Yu’s somber expression knew he was serious, then said, "Don’t mention it, you really think I care about the money."
Saying this, he put his arm over Fang Yu’s shoulder and walked towards the entrance.
Looking up, Chen Daotian widened his eyes, "Sister-in-law?"
Chen Daotian knew of the issues between the Fang Family and the Ye Family, and knew Ye Wenjun.
When Ye Wenjun saw the two men walking arm in arm, she pursed her lips and forced a smile as a greeting.
"It’s true what they say, the sister-in-law is much more beautiful in person than on TV!" Chen Daotian exclaimed.
Fang Yu frowned and said, "You talk too much! Don’t delay things."
"Oh."
The two entered the auction venue.
The venue was already filled with quite a crowd.
Several men, upon seeing Ye Wenjun’s striking appearance, turned to look.
After all, they were elites, and some sharp-eyed ones recognized Ye Wenjun immediately—
"Isn’t that the Miss of the Ye Family?"
"Just as the rumors say, truly very beautiful."
"Tsk, tsk, tsk... Whoever manages to marry such a woman, it would be the fortune of his eight lifetimes!"
"Highly educated, talented, the current president of the Ye Group, these credentials are too superior."
Ye Wenjun walked in the front.
Chen Daotian and Fang Yu walked behind.
The three found a middle row of seats.
Ye Wenjun sat inside, and Fang Yu took the seat next to her.
No sooner had they sat down than a gentlemanly man, dressed decently and wearing glasses, came over, handing out his business card —
"Miss Ye, hello, my last name is Li, I am the CFO of the Yanjing Xinfeng Group, may I have the honor of making your acquaintance?"
Before Fang Yu could speak, Chen Daotian, seated on the far end like a watchdog, chided, "Four-eyed chicken, get lost!"
PS: Sorry, I’m a bit late today.
