Chapter 185: Ding and Zheng Families

"I said, these things will definitely not make things difficult for you. We’ve known each other for so long, can’t you trust me?" Zhuge Yue smiled and said.

Hearing Zhuge Yue’s words, I thought about it, and indeed there was no better way at the moment, so I could only choose to trust Zhuge Yue.

Seeing me agree, Zhuge Yue smiled craftily and said to me, "Remember what you said, don't you dare go back on your word!"

The news of my engagement to Xiao Huan also spread quickly. Everyone in the school also knew my identity, knowing that I was the Zheng family’s grandson-in-law, and that the Old Matriarch of the Zheng family thought very highly of me.

However, because of this, Ding Yang was very unhappy. Originally, he wanted to use his family’s power to take action, because he had specifically investigated Zheng Yun’s identity and found he was just an outsider. But in the blink of an eye, he had become a member of the Zheng family, which made things very difficult for him. Although the Ding family was powerful, it wasn't that simple to forcibly move against the Zheng family.

Ding Yang was not the type to give up easily. Although Zheng Yun’s matter was difficult to handle now, it didn't mean it couldn't be done. Ding Yang wanted to gamble on Zheng Yun’s weight in the Zheng family. He bet that the Zheng family would not fall out with the Ding family because of Zheng Yun. After all, with the Zheng family’s strength, if they were to forcibly stand up for Zheng Yun, the Zheng family would definitely face the risk of bankruptcy. Therefore, he didn't believe the Zheng family would be so impulsive. After all, people in this upper-class society valued family interests above all else; there was no such thing as so-called family affection.

As for the Ding family, when they learned what Ding Yang wanted to do, they didn't stop him because they felt he was just an outsider to the Zheng family, someone without any blood relationship, so it wasn't worth their attention. Moreover, such a person daring to provoke someone from the Ding family deserved to be punished; after all, the Ding family’s reputation was very important.

And these past few days, Zhuge Yue suddenly reminded me that Ding Yang would not give up so easily and might use family connections to deal with me later. Hearing this, I felt a bit strange. If the Ding family really wanted to use family connections to deal with me, I was afraid I really wouldn't be able to handle it. After all, who knew how powerful the experts in such a big family were?

Zhuge Yue also knew my worries and comforted me, "Don't worry, things will definitely pass, and this matter is basically a case of 'danger followed by safety,' so you can rest assured!"

I smiled and looked at Zhuge Yue, saying, "You leak information to me every day, making me feel like I can't do without you!"

Zhuge Yue also smiled and said to me, "That’s right, the purpose is to make you have that feeling!"

I coughed awkwardly twice and then changed the subject, "That engagement matter, you’re sure you can help me handle it, right?"

Zhuge Yue patted her chest and said confidently, "Don't worry, if I say I can help you handle it, I will definitely help you handle it!"

Only then did I feel relieved. Just at this moment, Ding Yang suddenly brought a group of people over. I knew Ding Yang would take action, but I didn't expect him to act so quickly, and in front of so many people. This was simply not taking the school or the Zheng family seriously. However, with the Ding family’s strength, they indeed didn't need to care about these things.

Seeing these people arrive, Zhuge Yue smiled, looked at me, and said, "Your trouble has arrived. Alright, I have something else to do, so I’ll go first!"

"Damn, you’re really not being a good friend. As soon as people arrive, you run away. You could at least say something!" I complained to Zhuge Yue.

Zhuge Yue smiled and said, "Don't worry, you won't have any trouble. I really do have something to do, I’m leaving!"

Ding Yang saw Zhuge Yue and me chatting and laughing, and was immediately furious. He shouted directly to the people he brought, "What are you still standing there for? Get him for me!"

After speaking, all of Ding Yang’s men rushed over. Looking at their formation, there were quite a few experts, and among them, there were two people I couldn't even see through; their strength was likely higher than mine. Seeing this situation, I knew I was mostly done for. I couldn't help but complain about Zhuge Yue again in my heart. This person said there wouldn't be any trouble; this is bullshit. How could I possibly deal with these people?

Just as they were about to reach me, several figures suddenly blocked in front of me. The opposing side saw this situation and stopped in their tracks.

Ding Yang suddenly saw this situation, clearly not understanding, and hurriedly asked, "What are you all standing there for? It’s just a few people, isn't it?"

One of the leaders on Ding Yang’s side, who looked like the manager of the Ding family, said to the people beside me, "Zheng Hong, I didn't expect you to actually come. It seems the Zheng family really cares about this junior?"

Regarding the few people in front of me, to be honest, I was also a bit confused. I didn't know these people at all. These people were mostly here to protect me, and judging by the other side’s address, were they people from the Zheng family?

Zheng Hong looked at the person who spoke and said coldly, "Ding Qing, aren't you the same? For the sake of a junior’s matter, even you have been dispatched. Your Ding family is really quite dedicated!"

Ding Qing looked at Zheng Hong coldly and said, "Zheng Hong, I advise your Zheng family to mind your own business. This brat Zheng Yun insulted our Ding family’s reputation, and our family head personally wants him. If your Zheng family dares to block us, we’ll clean up your Zheng family along with him!"

Zheng Hong hesitated slightly upon hearing Ding Qing’s words. It was clear that they were indeed very wary of the Ding family’s influence.

Seeing Zheng Hong’s hesitant expression, Ding Yang hurriedly shouted, "Hurry up and grab him!"

Ding Qing’s group hurriedly came over, preparing to take me down. Just at this moment, Zheng Hong blocked Ding Qing. They exchanged a few moves and then quickly retreated. Ding Qing’s face was ugly because his strength was about the same as Zheng Hong’s; it was impossible to take me away in front of Zheng Hong.

Ding Qing shouted angrily at Zheng Hong, "Zheng Hong, what do you mean? Do you really want to be enemies with our Ding family?"

Zheng Hong snorted and said, "Zheng Yun is a member of our Zheng family, the Zheng family’s grandson-in-law. You were the ones who made things difficult first. If your Ding family really wants to try, then our Zheng family is not to be trifled with. Other families might be afraid of you, but our Zheng family is not!"

"Are you representing your Zheng family’s stance?" Ding Yang shouted angrily at us and Zheng Hong.

Zheng Hong was not intimidated by the other side’s momentum; instead, he said even more forcefully, "What I say naturally represents the Zheng family, and also represents the Zheng family’s attitude toward Zheng Yun. If your Ding family still wants to take action, feel free to come and try!"

The reason Zheng Hong dared to say this was naturally because he had the backing. When he came, the Old Matriarch of the Zheng family had specifically instructed that Zheng Yun was their Zheng family’s grandson-in-law, and no one was allowed to touch him.
