"I said, these things will absolutely not put you in a difficult position. 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 realized there was indeed no better way, so I could only choose to trust Zhuge Yue.

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

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

However, this made Ding Yang very unhappy. Originally, he wanted to use his family’s power to take action because he had specifically investigated Zheng Yun’s identity, thinking 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 wasn't the type to give up. Although Zheng Yun’s matter was difficult to handle, it didn't mean it couldn't be done. Ding Yang wanted to gamble on Zheng Yun’s weight in the Zheng family. He gambled that the Zheng family wouldn't fall out with the Ding family because of Zheng Yun. After all, if the Zheng family were to forcibly stand up for Zheng Yun with their power, the Zheng family would definitely face the risk of bankruptcy. So 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, they didn't stop Ding Yang when they learned what he wanted to do because they felt he was just an outsider to the Zheng family, someone without any blood relation, not 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 face was also very important.

And these days, Zhuge Yue suddenly warned me that Ding Yang wouldn't 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 used family connections to deal with me, I was afraid I really couldn't 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 safe, so don't worry!"

I smiled and looked at Zhuge Yue: "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, that’s exactly to make you feel that way!"

I coughed awkwardly twice and then changed the subject: "Are you sure you can help me handle the engagement thing?"

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

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 do it 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 really didn't need to care about these things.

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

"Holy crap, you’re being too unloyal. You run away as soon as people arrive. You could at least say something!" I complained to Zhuge Yue.

Zhuge Yue smiled and said: "Don't worry, you’ll be fine. I really have something to do, I’m leaving first!"

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

After he finished, all of Ding Yang’s people rushed over. Judging by their formation, there were quite a few experts among them, and there were two people I couldn't even see through. Their strength was likely higher than mine. Seeing this, I knew I was probably done for. I couldn't help but complain about Zhuge Yue again in my heart. This guy said I would be fine; this is total nonsense. How could I possibly deal with these people?

Just as they were about to reach me, several figures suddenly blocked my front. Seeing this, the other side stopped in their tracks.

Ding Yang, seeing this, clearly didn't understand and hurriedly asked: "What are you guys hesitating for? It’s just a few people!"

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 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 from the Zheng family?

Zheng Hong looked at the person who spoke and said bluntly: "Ding Qing, aren't you the same? For the sake of a junior, even you have been dispatched. Your Ding family is really thoughtful!"

Ding Qing looked at Zheng Hong coldly and said: "Zheng Hong, I advise your Zheng family to mind your own business. This kid Zheng Yun insulted our Ding family’s face. Our family head personally wants this person. If your Zheng family dares to block us, we’ll deal with your Zheng family together!"

Hearing Ding Qing’s words, Zheng Hong’s expression was hesitant. It could be seen that they were indeed very wary of the Ding family’s power.

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

Ding Qing and his group hurriedly came over, ready to take me down. Just then, 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 scoffed 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, our Zheng family isn't a pushover. Other families might be afraid of you, but our Zheng family is not!"

"Are you representing your Zheng family’s attitude?" 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 said naturally represents the Zheng family, and also represents the Zheng family’s attitude towards Zheng Yun. If your Ding family still wants to take action, feel free to 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 specifically instructed that Zheng Yun was their Zheng family’s grandson-in-law, and no one could touch him. ===== CHAPTER 196 =====
