Urban Seduction: Housewives Club

Chapter 749 - 748: Tang Rouʼs Sacrifice

Ye Fei chuckled, ”Elder Wu, youʼre keeping up with the times. I thought a prestigious martial arts family like yours would arrange marriages with other prominent families. It seems I was wrong.”

”Times have changed,” Wu Guanghua replied, visibly more relaxed now that Ye Fei was speaking amiably.

He noticed that the unpredictable Alliance Leader, Ye Zhilin, seemed to defer to Ye Fei, so he continued with a smile, ”As long as the kids are happy, thatʼs what matters. We elders canʼt dictate everything for them.”

Seeing Wu Guanghua treating him as an equal, Ye Fei decided to play the role of an elder. He turned to Wu Hanshan, who was a few years older than him, and said in a patronizing tone, ”Even though this might be considered a step up for her, you must never mistreat your wife after marriage.”

Wu Hanshan, who hadnʼt attended the martial arts conference but had heard about it from his father, didnʼt take offense at Ye Feiʼs presumptuousness.

He replied respectfully, ”Senior Yeʼs advice is well taken. I will treat Tang Rou with the utmost care.”

”What?!” Ye Feiʼs mind exploded with shock.

In an instant, he appeared in front of Wu Hanshan, grabbing him by the collar and lifting him off the ground. He demanded sharply, ”Who did you say?”

Wu Hanshan was stunned by Ye Feiʼs sudden aggression. He stammered, ”My fiancée, Tang Rou!”

Wu Guanghuaʼs heart skipped a beat. He had initially been polite to Ye Fei because of Ye Zhilin.

As a peak innate-level expert, he didnʼt necessarily look down on Ye Fei, but he hadnʼt truly respected him either.

However, at that moment, he realized that everyone at the martial arts conference had been wrong.

The true powerhouse of the Ye family wasnʼt Ye Zhilin—it was this young man in front of him.

No wonder he had managed to scare off that Great Ascension stage monk with just a few words.

How foolish they had all been to think the monk had been fooled by Ye Feiʼs tricks.

Seeing Ye Fei grab his son, Wu Guanghua quickly intervened, ”Brother Ye, letʼs talk this over. Please, put my son down.”

Ye Fei ignored him, still holding Wu Hanshan. He demanded, ”Tell me, which Tang Rou are you talking about?”

Wu Hanshan, now realizing that Tang Rou was the source of Ye Feiʼs anger, didnʼt dare hide anything. He answered honestly, ”Sheʼs the daughter of Mr. Tang Zhizhong from Zhongyuan City.”

It was her! Ye Feiʼs anger flared even hotter. He barked, ”Did you force her into this?”

In his mind, this was the only possibility. He knew Tang Rouʼs feelings for him, and he was certain she was the type of girl who would remain loyal to one person. She would never shift her affections so easily.

Wu Guanghua, now understanding the situation, quickly explained, ”Brother Ye, youʼve misunderstood. Itʼs not like that at all.” He then turned to Ye Zhilin, ”Alliance Leader, please, calm Brother Ye down. Letʼs hear the explanation first!”

But Ye Zhilin didnʼt move. Instead, she glared at Wu Guanghua. She knew that Ye Fei had come early specifically for a girl named Tang Rou.

Despite her habit of teasing Ye Fei, her loyalty to him was absolute.

Even though Tang Rou could be considered her rival, for Ye Feiʼs sake, she wouldnʼt allow this to happen.

However, Ye Fei had already calmed down. He could tell that Wu Guanghua was being sincere and wasnʼt lying. He released Wu Hanshan and said, ”Explain.”

Seeing Ye Fei let go, Wu Guanghua breathed a sigh of relief. He asked, ”Brother Ye, do you know Tang Rou?”

”Thatʼs none of your concern. Just explain!” Ye Fei said coldly. The situation with Tang Rou was making him restless. If the Wu family had indeed been bullying her, he wouldnʼt hesitate to erase this family from history.

”We didnʼt force her. The marriage proposal came from the Tang family,” Wu Guanghua explained, sounding somewhat aggrieved.

Though Ye Fei was being unreasonable, Wu Guanghua didnʼt dare argue.

Ye Zhilin alone was enough to strike fear into the hearts of everyone in the martial arts world, and now with Ye Fei, who was even stronger, who would dare challenge them?

”The Tang family proposed it?” Ye Feiʼs heart sank. Could it be that Tang Rou had changed her feelings?

But he quickly dismissed that thought. He had faith in himself and even more faith in Tang Rou. She wasnʼt the type to be fickle. Forcing himself to stay calm, he asked, ”Did Tang Rou agree to this?”

”Weʼre not sure about that. We havenʼt met Tang Rou yet. But her parents said she was very willing, and my son was quite satisfied after seeing her photo, so both families agreed to it,” Wu Guanghua explained honestly.

”Give me the Tang familyʼs address,” Ye Fei demanded. He knew there had to be something he wasnʼt aware of, and he wanted to confront Tang Rou directly to get to the bottom of it.

Wu Guanghua didnʼt dare hesitate. He quickly provided the address. Ye Fei turned to Ye Zhilin and instructed her to wait for him here, then swiftly left the Wu residence.

Watching Ye Fei disappear as if teleporting, Wu Guanghua was even more astonished. His respect for Ye Zhilin deepened, and he asked cautiously, ”Alliance Leader, Brother Ye…”

”Tang Rou is his girlfriend. Youʼd better drop this marriage idea,” Ye Zhilin said, her tone softening as she realized the Wu family wasnʼt to blame.

”Of course, of course. Iʼll go to the Tang family first thing tomorrow to cancel the engagement,” Wu Guanghua said hurriedly.

Wu Hanshan, who had no emotional attachment to Tang Rou and had only been drawn to her beauty, also gave up the idea without hesitation.

However, both father and son were now worried about the same thing: the invitations had already been sent out. If there was no wedding the day after tomorrow, the Wu family would be humiliated.

Meanwhile, Ye Fei left the Wu residence and didnʼt bother hailing a taxi. Instead, he used his domain power to teleport.

After a few flashes, he arrived outside the Tang familyʼs home. It was a sizable villa, indicating that the Tang family was quite wealthy in Zhongyuan City.

Releasing his spiritual sense, Ye Fei quickly ”saw” Tang Rou lying in bed. But when he saw her, he was momentarily stunned.

Was this Tang Rou?

Compared to a few months ago, she had become so thin. Her once radiant face now had a sickly pallor, and she looked fragile.

In that instant, Ye Fei could almost guess that this foolish girl had tortured herself like this for his sake.

To confirm his suspicion, he took out his phone and called her.
