Chapter 39: Snobbery

There was a trace of disappointment in Zhang Chengjun's brow, but this made me very confused. With his status, there must be many people who would want to be his son-in-law. Why would he waste time on me?

Then Zhang Chengjun looked at me and said, "What about you? Do you agree?"

I frowned, thought for a moment, and then shook my head, saying, "Since Yinuo doesn't agree, naturally I don't either!"

Besides, even if it were for Su Xueyan's sake, I could never agree to such a thing.

"Yang Yun, letting you marry into the family is doing you a favor, and you're still ungrateful. I think you're just purely looking for death!" Zhang Longtao pointed at me and cursed, but there was a hint of smugness in his expression, clearly happy that I hadn't become the son-in-law.

Zhang Chengjun frowned, looked at me, and then shook his head. "Forget it, you guys go! I'm old; you young people should just play among yourselves!"

Hearing this, the heavy stone in my heart finally landed; at least we were safe.

Zhang Yinuo pulled me out the door without saying a word to them.

Seeing this, Zhang Longtao angrily said to Zhang Chengjun, "Dad, these people are really ungrateful. If it were me, I'd just throw them into the river to feed the fish!"

"Do you know why I let him go?" Zhang Chengjun looked at Zhang Longtao.

Zhang Longtao was puzzled and looked at Zhang Chengjun in confusion.

"Sigh, that's why you're a loser. Keeping Yang Yun is to temper you. But if he breaks you, that just means you're a loser yourself; don't blame me!" Zhang Chengjun snorted coldly.

"Him? What right does he have to temper me? Dealing with him is like child's play, isn't it?" Zhang Longtao was very dismissive.

"Don't underestimate him. Let me tell you, arrogance comes with a price. Back in the day, I was also young and hot-headed, otherwise, I wouldn't be where I am today!" Zhang Chengjun sighed, recalling the past.

After Zhang Yinuo, Third Brother, and I left the place, I pulled Zhang Yinuo aside and asked with concern, "Are you okay?"

"What could happen to me?"

"But I saw you get hit by your dad just now, and it looked quite heavy!"

"Don't worry, I'm fine. I've been beaten since I was a kid; I'm immune to it!"

Hearing Zhang Yinuo's words, I was speechless. To be beaten until immune—and looking at Zhang Chengjun's strike just now, it clearly wasn't light. How could a girl withstand that? I figured even I would be in a lot of pain, yet Zhang Yinuo acted like nothing happened.

"Really? I still don't quite believe it. How about we go to the hospital to see if there are any internal injuries?" I remained very worried.

"What, do you want me to strip naked for you to see, to prove I'm fine, before you'll believe me?" Zhang Yinuo leaned against me, acting as if she wanted to take off her clothes.

I quickly stopped her and said, "No, no, we're still on the street, what are you doing!"

"Fine, then let's find a hotel and check?" Zhang Yinuo puffed out her cheeks in anger.

"I say, you two have had enough. Can you consider the feelings of the third wheel standing right here? You're going too far!" Third Brother shouted from the side.

Hearing Third Brother's words, I felt very awkward. I looked at Zhang Yinuo carefully and found that she indeed seemed to be fine.

However, this made me curious about Zhang Yinuo. After being beaten so severely by Zhang Chengjun, she was still fine. Was her body made of iron? Could it be that Zhang Chengjun used less force on her and more on me? But that was impossible; when I rushed up to block that kick, Zhang Chengjun couldn't have instantly increased his force. This left me very puzzled, but I didn't ask. After all, this was her private business, and I felt embarrassed to pry. If Zhang Yinuo wanted to talk about it, she would surely bring it up herself.

Not long after I returned to school, Wang Xiaopang came over anxiously and said, "Boss, Boss, it's bad!"

"What's the matter? Why are you so jumpy?" I frowned and looked at him.

Wang Xiaopang panted and said, "That middle-aged man Chen Zhen brought before has actually come to school again!"

The man Chen Zhen brought before was here again. Hearing this, I thought about it; it must be Li Heng. It seemed Zhuge Yue was right—Zhang Heng wouldn't let it go. But I couldn't understand why, with his status, he would come to school to find trouble with me. Didn't he feel ashamed?

"What is he here for?" I asked in confusion.

"I don't know. He didn't come directly to find you; instead, he met with several other people in the school!" Wang Xiaopang explained.

"Oh, since he's not here to pick a fight, why do you care?" I looked at Wang Xiaopang, speechless.

"This guy must be here to pick a fight. The Goddess said so before, and the Goddess's words are never wrong. She has the ability to foresee the future!" Wang Xiaopang said with conviction.

The "Goddess" Wang Xiaopang spoke of was naturally Zhuge Yue. Although I admitted that Zhuge Yue's intelligence was indeed excellent, saying she could foresee the future was going a bit too far. Was this a novel? How could she foresee the future? Did she really think she was Zhuge Liang?

I didn't intend to pay attention to this matter and sat at my desk reading.

Wang Xiaopang saw that I was unmoved and shook me, saying, "Boss, aren't you worried?"

Third Brother, who was nearby, couldn't stand it anymore and spoke up, "Fear what? If he comes, I'll beat him up again!"

Hearing Third Brother's words, Wang Xiaopang didn't say anything more.

Not long after, Wang Xiaopang ran over to us again and said, "Big news, big news!"

"What is it now? Can you be calm for once?" I looked at Wang Xiaopang, speechless. His jumpy style was truly unique.

"Li Heng came to school earlier and met a person named Li Hong. Li Hong has now taken over the forces that were in Chen Zhen's hands. Given the situation, Li Hong is equivalent to Li Heng's spokesperson in school. They will definitely come to find trouble with us later!" Wang Xiaopang said worriedly.

"Fear what? I'm not even afraid of Li Heng, let alone some small fry in school. I'm telling you, these people are really boring; there's no challenge at all. How dull!" Third Brother said with disdain.

"Uh, Boss Xu, you're bragging too much. Although I admit you're very powerful, you're only one person after all. Even counting the Boss, there are only two of you. After all, two fists are no match for four hands. This is the era of intelligence; brute force alone is useless!"

"Damn it, are you saying I have no brains?" Hearing this, Third Brother picked up a book from the table and lightly smacked it on Wang Xiaopang's head.
