Arriving in the downtown area, Ye Tian and Liu Fei'er went their separate ways, and he hailed a taxi to head straight for Fenghe Villa District.
The taxi driver was astonished because Fenghe Villa District was one of the most prestigious residential areas in Yunhai City, home to many important figures. He hadn't expected that this young man, who besides being slightly handsome, looked rather impoverished, could be going there.
Ye Tian, of course, was unaware of what the driver was thinking and lay in the car, feeling somewhat anticipatory.
He had come to Yunhai City indeed to find a very important friend, her name was Yun Xinyan, and more precisely, she was Ye Tian's fiancée.
Some time ago, Ye Tian had returned to Huaxia and visited the traditional Chinese medicine master, Old Gu, who had once saved his life, and he had expressed his desire to lead a peaceful life and find a wife.
Having experienced too much gunfire and bloodshed and often dealing with death, Ye Tian felt tired and weary.
Old Gu, upon hearing this, was also very happy and informed Ye Tian that he had already found him a fiancée, he simply needed to take the marriage agreement and fetch Yun Xinyan to marry her.
Soon, the taxi arrived at Fenghe Villa District, and after Ye Tian got out of the car, he looked at the varying heights and unique styles of villas before him, feeling quite pleased.
Following the address given by Old Gu, it didn't take long to arrive in front of a villa.
The villa was built in a Baroque style, comprising three floors, luxurious yet elegant and atmospheric, strikingly beautiful.
Outside the villa was a courtyard, surrounded by granite, with ivy spread all over, and various flowers and plants adding a cozy and comfortable touch.
Ye Tian walked up to the entrance, where there were two black-clad bodyguards. Seeing Ye Tian approach, one of the bodyguards quickly raised his hand to stop him, speaking coldly, "This is a private area, unauthorized personnel are not allowed."
Ye Tian nodded, responding politely, "I'm here to see Yun Xinyan."
"The young miss?" The bodyguard was stunned, scrutinizing Ye Tian again with a puzzled look, and immediately concluded internally that this man was here to cause trouble.
The young miss was noble and elegant; how could she have such an impoverished friend?
"What is your relation to the young miss?" The bodyguard was smart enough not to offend, just in case he really was a friend.
"I am her fiancé."
"What?" The bodyguard was startled. The young miss was engaged? When did that happen? Why wasn't there any news?
Seeing the bodyguard still puzzled, Ye Tian said, "Why don't you go report my arrival? Just say Ye Tian is here to see her. I'll wait here, I'll take responsibility if anything happens."
After hesitating for a moment, the bodyguard let Ye Tian wait there, instructing his colleague to keep an eye on him, then turned and walked inside.
Meanwhile, inside the villa's living room, a middle-aged man with a square face and a gentle smile lifted a cup of tea and placed it beside a young man, "Shaoqing, we are going to be family soon, no need to be formal in your own home. Here, try this tea I've treasured."
The youth called Shaoqing, dressed in a suit and leather shoes with his hair styled into a pompadour, had a refined appearance and a smile at the corner of his mouth, quite cultured and genteel.
"Thank you, father-in-law."
Shaoqing gently sipped the tea, admiring the older man, "What a wonderful tea."
Yun Feng chuckled, taking a sip from the tea cup in front of him. Next to Yun Feng, a slender young man with a hint of slyness said to Shaoqing, "Brother-in-law, we're family now, you've got to look after your little brother, right?"
"Don't worry, Yun Yu, of course, who else will take care of our own if not us?" Shaoqing readily agreed, then his eyes shifted to a stunningly beautiful lady next to Yun Yu, his gaze flickering with an unnoticed lust.
"Xinyan, you're finally mine! Heh heh!"
Xinyan frowned and barely glanced at Shaoqing, turning her head to sternly scold Yun Yu, "Yun Yu, stop ingratiating yourself with outsiders! Also, he's not your brother-in-law, nor does he have the right to be!"
"Xinyan!" Yun Feng put down his teacup, his expression turning somewhat dark, "Did you forget what I told you yesterday? What's wrong with Shaoqing?"
"Is it beneficial for me? Or him? You know very well!" Xinyan looked at Yun Feng and stated bluntly, "For interest, selling your own daughter, you really are a great father!"
"Shut up!" Yun Feng's face darkened, he scoffed coldly, "You have no choice in this matter! I am your father, I raised you, and I have both the right and the duty to ensure you have a good future!"
"Shaoqing, how about you get engaged next week?"
Despite looking somewhat displeased, Shaoqing managed a smile, "Thank you… Dad, I'll treat Xinyan well, she won't suffer the slightest hardship!"
"Haha, good, I trust you," Yun Feng laughed heartily, patting Shaoqing's shoulder, looking very pleased.
Shaoqing smiled, turning to look at Xinyan, who had a cold and displeased look. While his expression remained unchanged, he was extremely irritated inside.
"Hmph! Yun Xinyan, you're acting all high and mighty now! But once you become mine, let's see if you can still maintain this arrogant, icy demeanor! I'll kick you aside effortlessly, and then you'll know what it's like to beg me!"
"Yun Feng!!" Yun Xinyan's chest heaved with fury as she glared at Yun Feng with angry eyes, "I'm telling you, I'd rather die than marry into your family! You have no right to play with my fate!"
Having said that, Yun Xinyan turned to leave, but just then, a bodyguard entered from the door, saying respectfully to Yun Feng, "Master, there is someone outside claiming to be Ye Tian, saying he is her fiancé."
"What?"
Upon hearing this, the room was shocked.
As Yun Xinyan was about to leave, her gaze toward Yun Feng turned even colder and angrier, "Oh, Yun Feng! This one hasn't even left and another one arrives, are you comparing three different goods?"
Having said that, Yun Xinyan turned and left, suddenly a cold laugh rang out, "I really want to see who dares to compete with Master Du Shaoqing!"
The words 'Master Du Shaoqing' were bitten very heavily, filled with sarcasm!
Meanwhile, Du Shaoqing's face grew extremely grim, a cold glint flickering in his eyes. Dare to compete with him for a wife?
Looking at Yun Feng's unpleasant face, Du Shaoqing offered a faint smile, "Father-in-law, let's go have a look."
After saying that, Du Shaoqing also left. Yun Feng watched Du Shaoqing's departure, his face growing uglier by the minute, inwardly furious. He had not invited this so-called Ye Tian. Who the hell was causing trouble!
Right then, Yun Feng left as well, with Yun Yu closely following him.
Soon, everyone arrived at the front door. Yun Xinyan looked at Ye Tian, frowning slightly, "You are Ye Tian?"
Ye Tian looked back and his eyes lit up instantly, his heart shouting, an absolute beauty among beauties!
Her radiant, fair face and tenderly sculpted neck shone with an enchanting luster, each trait loudly declaring her unique, noble, and elegant aura. Long, slightly curled eyelashes shielded eyes clear as morning dew, her pale skin offset by peach-pink lips, and a perfect face with a cold yet gorgeous demeanor.
Her entire presence seemed to say she was to be admired from afar, not trifled with, or it would be blasphemy!
Ye Tian hadn't expected to encounter such a goddess-level woman in this small city. Could she be Yun Xinyan? Jackpot! Such a wife would be acceptable!
The old man's taste wasn't bad!
Ye Tian was about to nod in agreement when suddenly Du Shaoqing approached from the side, his bright eyes darkening as he stared at Ye Tian, "Ye Tian?"
Ye Tian nodded, then Du Shaoqing wanted to speak, but at this moment Yun Feng snorted coldly, "Ye Tian, who sent you? Who gave you the audacity to impersonate my son-in-law? My son-in-law is only Du Shaoqing!"
Upon hearing this, Du Shaoqing's expression instantly became smug, also realizing that Yun Feng appeared to be out of the loop. It seemed he was the prime candidate.
Meanwhile, Yun Xinyan was also sizing up Ye Tian. Aside from his unattractive attire, he was quite handsome, but she didn't seem to recognize him, and neither did Yun Feng. Why come here and impersonate someone?
"No one sent me, I am here according to the marriage agreement," Ye Tian said, frowning slightly at Yun Feng's attitude. From his bearing and appearance, he must be the family head, so that makes him the father-in-law?
Right then, Ye Tian took out a paper from his suitcase, "Father-in-law, here is the marriage agreement, take a look."
"Don't try to get cozy! Who is your father-in-law!" Yun Feng snorted coldly, not even planning to accept the paper Ye Tian handed over, but then he saw a stamp on it and took it, glanced at it, and frowned slightly.
This marriage agreement was indeed written by Yun Feng's father, Yun Tianhe, in his own handwriting, which he recognized very clearly as his father's own son. Especially that stamp, unmistakably accurate.
The marriage agreement was very likely genuine. At the same time, Yun Feng suddenly remembered that his father had indeed mentioned such an agreement, although he had not taken it seriously. He hadn't expected it to turn up now.
After a moment's thought, Yun Feng smiled lightly, unconcerned, "Young man, not a bad job forging such a marriage agreement. It must have taken quite some effort."
Despite confirming the authenticity of the marriage agreement, Yun Feng had no plans to recognize it. In his eyes, his son-in-law was only Du Shaoqing, or rather, only interests mattered—not any promises, agreements, or contracts. Now that he was in charge, the older generation's issues didn't count.
"I have no need to forge such a meaningless document. Please, ask elder Yun Tianhe to take a look," Ye Tian said earnestly.
"My father is already deceased. How are you asking me to please him?" Yun Feng snorted coldly.
"I'm sorry, father-in-law, I didn't mean to..."
"If my father hadn't passed away, would you dare bring this worthless marriage agreement here?" Yun Feng snorted coldly, and without missing a beat, tore the agreement to shreds and threw it in Ye Tian's face.
Pieces of paper fluttered as Yun Feng coldly commanded:
"Don't try to get cozy! I'm not your father-in-law! Wherever you came from, go back there! Otherwise, I'll have someone break your legs, and you won't be able to leave!"
