Urban Seduction: Housewives Club

Chapter 2031 - 360: Helping My Young Cousin 3

”What boyfriend? Have we given our consent?” the middle-aged woman snapped.

”Li Gang, our Xiaoli is getting engaged to Wei Shuai tomorrow. Youʼd better give up on that idea.”

”What engagement? I didnʼt agree to it at all!” Wu Li protested urgently.

”Your consent isnʼt needed. Your father and I will decide this matter,” Wu Liʼs mother said authoritatively.

”What era is this anymore? Still practicing arranged marriages?”

Wang Yue suddenly interjected.

The corridor here was quite narrow, and Li Gang was tall and bulky.

Wu Li and the others hadnʼt noticed Wang Yue standing behind him until he spoke up.

”This is our familyʼs business. What does it have to do with you?” Wu Liʼs mother looked at Wang Yueʼs young, boyish appearance with disdain and waved her hand dismissively.

”Go play somewhere else, little brat!”

Li Gang became anxious immediately. It didnʼt matter if Wu Liʼs mother scolded or even hit him, but it was unacceptable for her to speak to Wang Yue in that way. He glared fiercely and shouted, ”Auntie, donʼt talk to the young master like that!”

”Young master? What young master?” Wu Liʼs mother was taken aback. She had known Li Gang for quite some time now. Although he was tall and strong, he always had a good temper and never lost his composure around strangers.

He was especially respectful toward her as Wu Liʼs mother and had never spoken to her in such a manner before.

This made her think of the rumor: He Qiongʼs family had received help from some influential person and had since become prosperous.

After Li Gangʼs incident, Wu Li insisted on taking care of him personally and even said she would die with him if necessary. Fearing being implicated, his parents took their daughter and fled. Thus, they didnʼt witness what Wang Yue did to help Liʼs family.

Therefore, she was skeptical about this rumor. She thought that even if He Qiongʼs family had received help, it was probably just doing menial work for someone else. What kind of success could they achieve from that?

But Wei Shuai was different. His family owned a factory and seemed to have partnerships with some martial arts groups. He was the real ideal husband.

”What young master? These days, many people think theyʼre something special just because their families are wealthy,” Wei Shuai said disdainfully, looking at Wang Yue. ”Tell me, who are you and which family do you belong to?”

”My name is Wang Yue. Iʼm from the Wang family in Jinling,” Wang Yue replied calmly with a smile.

Wei Shuai trembled all over and knelt down with a thud. He slapped himself twice on the face and said, ”So itʼs Lord Wang who has come. I was blind and didnʼt recognize his greatness. Damn it!”

As always, there were many people with the surname Wang in Jinling, and several families bore this name. But among them, only one could truly be regarded as part of the Jinling Wang family.

Moreover, he had seen Wang Yueʼs image before. He just didnʼt expect Wang Yue to associate with such people, so he hadnʼt considered that possibility.

Now that Wang Yue introduced himself, he immediately recognized him – yes, it was indeed that person!

”Enough. Youʼre no longer needed here,” Wang Yue said with a wave of his hand. He didnʼt intend to take things further with Wei Shuai, as the gap between them was too great to warrant such behavior.

After all, Wei Shuai had merely come for a matchmaking arrangement; he wasnʼt doing anything wrong.

Wei Shuai, as if granted a pardon, hurriedly rushed down the stairs, tumbling all the way.

Wu Li and her mother were also stunned on the spot.

Although they didnʼt know as much as Wei Shuai and had never seen Wang Yueʼs image, they understood what the name ”Jinling Wang Family” meant.

To them, the young master of the Jinling Wang Family was nothing short of an ancient prince.

Facing such a person was something they had never even dared to imagine. And now, Wang Yue suddenly appeared before them.

Wang Yue ignored their reactions and said to Li Gang, ”Letʼs go. We can talk at your place.”

”Okay,” Li Gang replied. He led Wu Li to his house, opened the door with his key, and the three of them went inside.

Wu Liʼs mother did not follow them. The young master of the Wang family was simply too intimidating!

After sitting down in the house, Wang Yue noticed that Wu Li was still very nervous. He smiled and said, ”Just speak up. Act as if I werenʼt here.”

Li Gang added, ”Yes, the young master is very kind. You donʼt have to be nervous, Xiao Li.”

Wu Liʼs eyes turned red as she hugged Li Gangʼs arm tightly and asked, ”Where have you been these past few days? I couldnʼt find you anywhere, and I couldnʼt contact you either.”

”The young master arranged for me to go for training. That place is confidential, so Iʼve never been able to use communication devices.” Li Gang said apologetically. ”But you can try contacting my mom and Yingying.”

”However, Auntie He and Yingying have also been away all along. I canʼt reach them either,” Wu Li replied.

Wang Yue understood immediately. Li Yingying must have gone to practice with that person named Yu Yan and turned off her communication device at his request. As for He Qiong, since neither her children were at home, she decided to save time by living in the Chen Family Mansion. She was a very grateful and self-disciplined person. Her workplace was at the heart of the Chen Familyʼs business empire, so even though no one asked her to do so, she still turned off her communication device on her own.

But Li Gang had no idea about this. Upon hearing this, he became extremely anxious. ”You mean my mom and Yingying havenʼt come back at all? And we canʼt contact them?”

Wu Li nodded.

Wang Yue smiled and said, ”Li Gang, donʼt worry. Your mom is probably living in the Chen Family Mansion. Her job is special, thatʼs why she turned off her communication device. As for your sister, sheʼs really remarkable. She was taken in as a disciple by a highly skilled expert and is currently practicing with him.”

”An expert? How skilled?” Li Gang asked instinctively.

”Not as skilled as you. Heʼs only a little over 170 centimeters tall,” Wang Yue said with a smile. ”But his cultivation level is quite high – at least at the Guizhen Realm.”

”Guizhen Realm?! At least?” Li Gang was both surprised and delighted.

After staying at the Wang Familyʼs base for over ten days, he was no longer the novice who didnʼt even know his own cultivation level. He understood what the Guizhen Realm meant. That was a superpower that not even one of the three major families possessed. His sister having such a powerful master as her teacher was truly a great fortune!

Wu Li, however, was completely confused. She had never heard of cultivation levels or the Guizhen Realm. But one thing was clear to her: Li Yingying had encountered a great opportunity and would soon become a warrior.

The two families were neighbors, and Li Yingying was Li Gangʼs sister. Wu Li knew her well and was therefore happy for her.

Wang Yue looked at Wu Li and said, ”You must have guessed by now. Thatʼs right, Yingying is now a warrior. And not just Yingying – Li Gang is also a warrior now.”

Wu Li looked at Wang Yue without much surprise, but rather concern. He wasnʼt trying to persuade her to break up with Li Gang, was he? After all, Li Gang was now a high-level warrior, and they were not on the same level at all.

Wang Yue continued, ”However, Li Gang seems to have encountered some problems during his training. And itʼs not convenient for me to help. So Iʼd like you to check and see. If there really are problems, we can find a solution as soon as possible.”

”What kind of problems?” Wu Li became anxious. She really liked Li Gang and was very concerned about his health.

”It seems that thereʼs no response from his lower body. But we canʼt be sure. Thatʼs why I need your help,” Wang Yue said honestly.

Wu Liʼs face turned red, but she still nodded in agreement. After all, this not only affected Li Gangʼs health but also her own future happiness.

”Since youʼve agreed, then go to Li Gangʼs bedroom to check,” Wang Yue said.

Wu Li nodded again, her face still red. She took Li Gang, who was a bit confused, and went into his bedroom.
