Tang Xiaomin ignored Tang Yiyi, and so did Ye Fengxing.
They talked to each other, leaving Tang Yiyi aside.
Tang Xiaomin said to Ye Fengxing, "You don't understand at all what this marriage means to me."
"What does it mean?" Ye Fengxing asked.
Tang Xiaomin's clear eyes widened as she spoke word by word.
"Where were you when I was being chased? Where were you when the Tang family pressured me because of this marriage?"
"I could have lived a peaceful life, but because of this marriage, my fate has been fraught with hardship."
"You are a smart person, you understand what I mean."
Upon hearing this, Ye Fengxing's expression became even more solemn.
"You were being chased? When did this happen?"
...
See, he knew nothing.
He couldn't even do the most basic thing, protect her.
He couldn't do it in his previous life, and it was the same in this life.
He never considered how much danger this marriage would bring to Tang Xiaomin.
How could such a man be worthy of entrusting her life to?
Tang Xiaomin lowered her eyelids, her heart weary.
"Forget it, I've given you plenty of time, and I don't want to waste any more time with you."
"Tomorrow evening, I will return the betrothal letter and gifts to the Ye family. As for Grandpa Ye, I hope you can notify him as soon as possible. You have one more day."
After speaking, Tang Xiaomin turned and left. Su Dan Novel Network
"Xiaomin!"
Ye Fengxing tried to grab Tang Xiaomin.
However.
Zhong Li, who was beside Tang Xiaomin, was quick-handed and blocked Ye Fengxing's hand.
"She is not someone you can touch."
Long Wu, who was beside Ye Fengxing, saw this and made a move, exchanging a few blows with Zhong Li.
"Zhong Li, stop."
Tang Xiaomin spoke to stop him.
Zhong Li looked as if he hadn't had enough.
Long Wu, on the other hand, looked solemn, his heart sinking.
This man named Zhong Li was much stronger than he had imagined.
Ye Fengxing said in a deep voice, "Xiaomin, I admit I've been a bit negligent towards you lately. I promise you, I will never let anyone hurt you again."
"Xiaomin, let me protect you."
...
If he had said these words in his previous life.
Tang Xiaomin would have been moved and accepted.
But times had changed, and time waited for no one.
"Your intentions are too late. I can protect myself now, and I don't need your protection."
"Then who do you need to protect you? That person surnamed Yan? Can he?"
...
Yan Jue really could.
When he was around, he could.
He taught her self-defense, and when he wasn't around, she could protect herself.
He had even considered how she should protect herself when he was not around.
"That's between him and me."
Tang Xiaomin turned and left.
Ye Fengxing wanted to say something more.
Zhong Li stood in front of him, his expression somewhat ferocious and mocking.
"Just you, you're worthy of mentioning our Chairman Yan's name, worthy of comparing yourself to our Chairman Yan? You truly don't know the immensity of heaven and earth."
He was just an ordinary person with a little money, insignificant like an ant in front of the lord of a realm.
After death, wouldn't he still have to prostrate himself before him and accept his judgment?
Zhong Li felt a bead of sweat for this man surnamed Ye, who had already offended someone and didn't even know it.
He couldn't do anything to him while he was alive.
He prayed that he would never die, or that he had done nothing wrong and would go to heaven after death.
Otherwise, when he reached the underworld, hehehe...
He would be held accountable.
...
After Tang Xiaomin left, Tang Yiyi said to Ye Fengxing again, "Brother Ye, Tang Xiaomin is being ambiguous with that person surnamed Yan. She is not worthy of your sincere devotion..."
"Shut up!"
Ye Fengxing turned and roared at Tang Yiyi, his eyes filled with a rage that was both fierce and inscrutable.
"Even if something were to happen between me and Tang Xiaomin, it's not your place, as an illegitimate daughter, to point fingers!"
"You just want me to break off my engagement with Tang Xiaomin so you can have me, don't you."
"Tang Yiyi, I'm telling you, even if all the women in the world were dead, I would never consider a despicable woman like you."
...
After saying that, Ye Fengxing also left.
Tang Yiyi stood there blankly, enduring the immense blow from Ye Fengxing.
She even forgot to breathe.
He actually said words like "would never consider her."
She had always deeply loved Ye Fengxing, and in order to marry him.
She had agreed to give everything of herself to Tang Xiaomin.
Inviting a wolf into the house and ruining her entire life.
Now, she received such a definitive statement from Ye Fengxing.
Tang Yiyi's face turned pale, and she could not stand steady. She slumped to the ground in despair.
Tears, against her will, slipped from her eyes.
...
After Ye Fengxing left the hospital, he immediately sent people to investigate the matter of Tang Xiaomin being chased.
But it had been several days, and the scene had been cleaned up.
No one knew what had happened at the time.
However, Steward Ye accidentally discovered a clue.
Ye Family.
Steward Ye said with a solemn expression, "Young Master, it seems something has happened to the bodyguards of the Nangong family. The Nangong family has been investigating in secret."
Nangong family's bodyguards.
Could something have happened?
"What has Nangong Shanshan been doing lately?"
"She still asks about your whereabouts every day. As you instructed, I haven't told her."
"Continue the investigation, focus on the whereabouts of those bodyguards."
Ye Fengxing had basically concluded that it was people from the Nangong family who were chasing Tang Xiaomin.
Tang Xiaomin was not someone who would speak carelessly.
She must have been chased, which was why she said those things to him.
At this moment, Ye Fengxing was furious with the Nangong family.
As for Tang Xiaomin, he had seen the murderous look she gave Ye Lingyun.
He didn't doubt that she was indeed capable of killing.
...
Evening.
Steward Ye came again.
"Young Master, thirty elite bodyguards from the Nangong family have disappeared overnight. The Nangong family's explanation is that those people resigned and went home, but I investigated and found no such thing."
It wasn't unusual for one person to suddenly disappear and not be found.
But thirty people disappearing at the same time and not being found was a big problem.
At this moment, Ye Fengxing's expression was extremely grim.
He called Tang Xiaomin.
"I'm asking you, were you chased by thirty people?"
Tang Xiaomin, who received the call, was not overly shocked.
After all, given Ye Fengxing's capabilities, he would definitely be able to find some clues, even if the scene had been cleaned up.
"I'll come to your house later. Let's talk in person."
Tang Xiaomin neither confirmed nor denied it.
But her attitude had already indicated that she had indeed been pursued by quite a few people.
Thirty elite bodyguards to deal with a twenty-year-old young woman.
The scene, just imagining it, was brutal.
Yet.
Tang Xiaomin was unharmed.
Could it be that the person surnamed Yan saved her again?
If that were the case, and the person surnamed Yan had saved her several times.
It was understandable that Tang Xiaomin would care about the person surnamed Yan.
Ye Fengxing had even guessed Tang Xiaomin's purpose in coming to the Ye family.
She had said more than once that she would annul the engagement, and she had given him plenty of time to handle it.
Now, that day had clearly arrived.
