Chapter 4 The Brother of the Female Supporting Character Who Broke Off the Engagement (4)
Changqing's voice was loud and clear, and everyone stared wide-eyed, speechless with surprise.
On the side.
Xia Lengyin was also stunned; her brother's words were truly infuriating.
She secretly gave her brother a thumbs up.
Over there, the elders of the Ye family looked embarrassed and calmly glanced to the side.
Ye Xiao was trembling with anger, but he couldn't find a single word to refute it, because Chang Qing was telling the truth, and in front of so many people, there was really no room for rebuttal.
Mrs. Ye's eyes were red. Her son had been scolded, and as his mother, she was the one who felt the most pain.
Ye Chuan was also stunned for a moment.
For a moment, my mind went blank, and my chest felt like it was churning with blood and qi.
He had never been attacked like this before. He used to be a prodigy, respected by everyone. Even though his dantian was destroyed, his father was still the head of the family, so he had some cold words and sarcastic remarks, but he had never been scolded like this to his face.
"You, you..." He pointed at Changqing, unable to speak for a long time.
Changqing was indeed capable of saying it, and not only that, he was also very articulate. "What's wrong with me? Ask the others here yourself if the description of him as a good-for-nothing is accurate. Never mind, I'll ask for you." He looked at the guests. "Tell me, is Ye Chuan good-for-nothing or a piece of trash?"
Pfft!
Someone in the crowd laughed, and then more people joined in.
No one answered directly, but the laughter said it all.
Ye Chuan felt his blood rush to his head and jumped up in anger:
"I was faking it! I just wanted to see clearly who was sincere and who was fake when I was down on my luck!"
He regretted it as soon as he finished speaking; why did he have to say it out loud?
The laughter stopped, and everyone looked at him strangely.
laugh!
Changqing scoffed, "You really know how to pat yourself on the back, huh? Getting beaten to a pulp by a bunch of thugs is also an act? You're quite the actor!"
Everyone laughed again.
Ye Xiao's face turned ashen, his anger surging, "You little bastard, shut your mouth!"
The next moment he pounced on him.
Both palms thrust out simultaneously.
Overbearing.
Xia's father flashed forward, blocking the way, and threw a punch.
With a loud bang!
Both of them took two steps back.
"Brother Ye, isn't it going too far to attack a junior?" Xia's father said, suppressing his anger.
Behind them, a group of Xia family members also drew their weapons, and the atmosphere instantly became tense.
Several elders of the Ye family also stood up abruptly, their expressions wary.
After all, they are family. Although they don't approve of Ye Chuan's behavior, they still need to unite against outsiders at this time.
Upon seeing this, Ye Xiao's heart skipped a beat.
A showdown with the Xia family?
This was not what he wanted. The two sides were evenly matched, and if they really fought, they would be evenly matched, resulting in heavy casualties.
I acted impulsively just now.
But he was a proud man and couldn't bring himself to apologize to a younger person, so he snorted and went back to sit down.
"He spoke rudely in front of his elders; I just wanted to teach him a lesson!"
He said coldly, his gaze still fixed on Changqing with hostility.
Xia's father sighed, waved his hand, and the people behind him also put away their weapons.
"Brother Ye, look, things have already gotten this bad, is there any point anymore? Since the marriage is off anyway, let's just go our separate ways and not interfere with each other in the future."
He said earnestly.
Ye Xiao was somewhat tempted.
They're practically about to fight. If this keeps up, they'll really become mortal enemies.
Seeing this, Ye Chuan panicked, "Father, the marriage can't be called off like this! I... I'm not convinced!"
How can I get a refund now?
The marriage certificate and the date of birth can be returned, but that ring is his biggest asset in turning his life around; he can't live without it.
We must stop it no matter what!
He stood up, his neck stiff.
"Thirty years east of the river, thirty years west of the river, don't be fooled—"
Snap!
Changqing reached out and slapped him across the face.
"Trash! What are you shouting slogans for! If thugs can beat you up, why can't I?"
Ye Chuan's head was covered in blood from the blows, and the bandage on his forehead began to bleed again.
Changqing's words made him unable to hold back any longer.
"You, you, you just wait! When I recover, I will tear you to pieces!"
Changqing's eyes flashed with a fierce light. "Do you believe I can tear you to pieces right now?"
The aura of perfected Qi Refining was suddenly released.
Ye Chuan couldn't hold on at all and stumbled back several steps, almost falling to the ground.
Seeing that the younger generation was arguing again, and it was getting out of hand.
Xia's father then began to play the good cop, looking at Ye Xiao and saying, "Brother Ye, the children don't get along at all. You should make a decision sooner rather than later. There's no need for us to escalate the situation to the point of fighting!"
Ye Xiao closed his eyes.
what to do?
Taking action? That's definitely not an option. As the head of the family, taking action is not one of my choices.
I just didn't expect Xia Changqing to be so explosive. Now things have gotten out of hand and there's no room for reconciliation.
At this point, some of the guests couldn't help but speak up.
"Patriarch Ye, let it go. Why make things so ugly? Breaking off the engagement isn't a big deal. The two families can discuss it together."
"That's right. We're all decent people, and you all know Ye Chuan's situation. There's no need to drag this out."
"Let's have a drink and turn hostility into friendship."
The eldest elder of the Ye family also stepped forward and bowed, saying, "Patriarch, please don't act impulsively. The Ye and Xia families have always been on good terms. We can't let our children's affairs turn us into enemies."
Behind him, two young men stood up to show their agreement; they were Ye Qing and Ye Song.
The Third Elder nodded repeatedly.
"You, you traitors!" Ye Chuan trembled with anger. These people had always treated him coldly, but he never expected them to contradict him to his face.
The elder glared at him but didn't say anything. Behind him, Ye Qing, also a junior, wasn't going to tolerate this and immediately snorted coldly.
"Ye Chuan, what are you pretending for? He's crippled, that's a fact, an undeniable fact!"
Ye Song also sneered repeatedly: "Although Xia Changqing's words were harsh, can you refute them? You still have the bandage on your head. Have some face for the Ye family and for yourself."
Ye Chuan's face flushed red; he really couldn't refute it.
Ye Xiao closed his eyes in discomfort.
After a long while, he opened his eyes and nodded heavily.
"The head of the household."
Madam Ye called out cautiously, but Ye Xiao waved his hand.
He pulled a box from his sleeve and tossed it over. Changqing caught it, opened it, and found a marriage certificate and birth details inside, but no engagement gift, which was the ring.
"You piece of trash, hand over the ring on your hand!"
He reached out his hand directly to Ye Chuan.
Ye Chuan, of course, disagreed. His face flushed red, and he shrank back. "I don't agree to annul the engagement! Father, I, Ye Chuan, cannot suffer this humiliation! If it's to be annulled, it must be three years from now, and I will personally go to the Xia family to annul the engagement!"
Ye Xiao frowned. "Chuan'er, don't be ridiculous! Return that ring to the Xia family. Haven't you seen the mess you've made?"
"I don't!"
Ye Chuan shouted and turned to run inside.
Changqing moved swiftly, blocking his way. "Tsk tsk, I didn't expect you, a piece of trash, to want to curry favor with my Xia family? No, Leng Yin is about to join the Heavenly Fire Sect, so you're trying to curry favor with them? Don't you even know if you're worthy! Hand over the ring!"
Everyone looked at Ye Chuan with strange expressions.
The conversation had already reached this point, and the Ye family head had agreed, yet this kid still disagreed. Could it be that he really wanted to curry favor with the Xia family? That was incredibly spineless and shameful! Many people showed expressions of disdain.
Ye Chuan was furious.
what to do?
I absolutely cannot give him the ring, but now that I'm in this predicament, I really have no reason to do so.
He couldn't help but hate his own father.
Why are they so unstable? They can't withstand even a little pressure from others.
Fortunately, at that moment, the voice reached his ears.
"Boy, you can challenge him to a duel. If you win, you can personally go and annul the engagement three years later."
Ye Chuan's heart skipped a beat.
"Elder Xuan, aren't you setting me up? How could I possibly beat him?"
The voice said, "Isn't that what I'm here for? Although I'm just a wisp of divine soul now, a divine soul attack is not something an ordinary person can withstand. However, I only have the power for one strike. After that, I need to hibernate for several months..."
Ye Chuan was overjoyed and his expression calmed down.
Just then, someone outside called out, "The City Lord has arrived."
So Ye Chuan naturally stood still.
Soon, a dignified-looking man in brocade robes walked in, glanced around, and then smiled.
"I heard that the Ye and Xia families had a falling out, so I came uninvited. It seems that someone exaggerated the situation. Isn't that good?"
Changqing immediately stepped forward to complain, "Lord City Lord, you must do something about this! Patriarch Ye has already agreed to annul the engagement, but Ye Chuan still hasn't returned the betrothal gifts, specifically that ring on his hand. Don't you think that's going too far?"
Ye Chuan, on the other hand, stuck out his neck.
"I'm not returning it! I've worn this ring for years, I've grown attached to it!"
Ye Xiao looked embarrassed and suggested, "Brother Xia, you see, the child is so stubborn. How about my Ye family offers something else instead?"
Before Xia's father could speak, Changqing directly rejected the idea.
"No way! This belongs to my Xia family. Why should he give it to me just because he has feelings for it? I have deep feelings for it too!"
Okay, okay!
Ye Chuan couldn't hold back any longer and roared.
"Xia Changqing! I challenge you to a duel!"
