Young Master Li is so dashing. If only he could be my boyfriend for just one day. I would have no more regrets in my life! lamented some girls deep down inside.
“Wan Xue, I know you may have misunderstood my departure that day. That was because I never expected you would encounter such danger later. At first, I intended to use myself as bait to lure the demonized bull away from the arena in order to rescue everyone else!” said Li Shaozong calmly.
“I know,” spoke Wan Xue.
Indeed, how could she harbor such despicable thoughts about him? When Li Shaozong left the arena, she had yet to fall off the stage.
Therefore, he had no idea she was in danger.
After listening to Young Master Li’s explanation, Wan Xue’s heart was greatly relieved.
Naturally, Wan Xue and Li Shaozong became the focus of the entire event.
Chen Hao and the rest of the guests were naturally neglected.
As the birthday party went on, a middle-aged man slowly made his way toward the courtyard.
As he watched Wan Xue and Li Shaozong who were standing right next to each other from afar, the middle-aged man could not help but smile in satisfaction.
“Old Master!” greeted Uncle Bai in a soft voice when he was right behind the middle-aged man.
His eyes were brimming with respect toward the middle-aged man.
This middle-aged man was none other than the master of the Wan Family, Wan Yaozong.
“Yes. How’s Wan Xue and Li Shaozong? Is Li Shaozong really her perfect man as predicted by the fortune teller?” asked Wan Yaozong after taking a deep breath.
It was obvious that Wan Yaozong, too, trusted the fortune teller a great deal.
Therefore, he was deeply concerned about the future of his daughter at the moment.
“This…”
Uncle Bai was deep in thought.
“Just say it.”
Wan Yaozong put both of his hands behind him.
“Based on my observations from various perspectives, Young Master Li indeed fulfills several characteristics mentioned by the fortune teller that day. He possesses extraordinary skills which cannot be achieved by ordinary people and he is amazingly good in martial arts. He also comes from a prominent family!”
As soon as Wan Yaozong listened to this, he broke into a blissful smile once again.
“However, there’s something contrary to what was said by the fortune teller. According to him, Miss Wan is supposed to feel a deadly attraction at first sight of that man. But Miss Wan doesn’t have much deep feelings toward Li Shaozong. On the other hand, she actually experienced such feelings toward another man who is just a nobody!” Uncle Bai reported frankly.
“A nobody?” Wan Yaozong could not help but frown.
“Is he the one who was at the Salvaged Dragon Villa this afternoon; the one who Wan Xue had invited over here who goes by the name of Chen Hao?”
Obviously, Wan Yaozong never thought of this.
Comparing both of them, no doubt he preferred Li Shaozong to be his son-in-law.
“Yes, it’s him!” said Uncle Bai.
“Humph, what a bastard. How could someone like him be the son-in-law of the Wan Family? It’s outrageous!”
At the thought of such possibility, Wan Yaozong was distressed.
After all, several variations of dramatic stories of rich young ladies who fell in love with a nobody and broke ties with their families in the end could be found in every era of Huaxia's history.
He would never allow such a thing to ever happen to the Wan Family.
“Old Master, don't be angry and please listen to me first. Based on what I have observed, Chen Hao is an unusual man! I can sense that he is not just any other ordinary guy. As he could be Miss Wan’s suitor, would you like to meet him and observe him further before making a decision?” advised Uncle Bai immediately.
Wan Yaozong took a deep breath and calmed his emotions.
“Well, invite him over later. I would like to see how extraordinary he is!”
Although Wan Yaozong appeared to agree, deep down he had already made his decision.
“The Old Master is here!” Just as the birthday party reached its peak, one of the servants made the announcement.
Wan Xue lifted her eyes and saw that her father had arrived.
“Dad!”
“Uncle Wan!”
All the guests stood up to pay their respects.
He was the master of the Wan Family, Wan Yaozong.
Chen Hao, too, got up to his feet and took a glance at him.
Moreover, it was her Master who had saved Wan Xue.
In the end, Wan Xue ended up treating Li Shaozong, who was beaten by the demonized bull, with such respect.
She was very annoyed.
At that moment, she spoke up. “My master is a distinguished guest of my family. He has many talents, so it depends on which one you would like to witness!” answered Shen Piaopiao coldly.
Gasp!
Everyone was stunned by her rebuttal.
“Hehe, your family? Which family do you come from?” As angry as he was, Wan Yaozong retorted with a chuckle.
“Shen family of the Ji Province!”
Shen Piaopiao was a tough girl.
With that, several members of the management team walked over to Wan Yaozong and whispered something in his ear.
Wan Yaozong nodded his head and continued with a condescending smile, “I see, you’re Shen Tiangang’s granddaughter. Well, your family tried to get a ticket to the Underground Ceremony this afternoon but was rejected, is that so?”
It never occurred to Shen Piaopiao that Wan Yaozong would actually speak in this way.
At that moment, she became anxious.
“Did you save my daughter and attend this party just for the sake of the ticket?” asked Wan Yaozong with a subtle grin.
“What did you say?!”
Shen Piaopiao got extremely angry over what he said.
How could a famous master of a family be this hostile to someone?
Wan Xue also never thought that her father, who was usually solemn and courteous, would speak in such a manner.
As the stalemate went on, Wan Yaozong’s sneer broke the silence, “Hehe, Piaopiao, you shouldn’t be too upset, I’m just kidding! Since you say that Chen Hao is a talented guy, I certainly admire talented people the most!”
As he was talking, he turned and instructed Uncle Bai, “Someone please bring him to the backyard, I have some questions for him!”
As soon as he finished saying that, he cast an icy glance at Chen Hao before leaving the scene with both of his hands placed behind his back.
