Chapter 195: Engagement Day

Seeing Zheng Hong protecting me so much, Ding Qing had no choice but to grit his teeth and say to Ding Yang: "Young Master Ding, I'm afraid this matter cannot be done. If a fight breaks out, it might be difficult to clean up, and even if we fight, we don't necessarily have a chance of winning!"

Ding Yang had specifically brought family members in public to regain his face, but the result was that he couldn't deal with Zheng Yun. This made Ding Yang very unwilling, feeling that this guy was his nemesis; no matter what he did, he never succeeded.

Seeing Ding Yang's frustrated look, I mocked him and said: "Ding Yang, I think you only have that much ability with your mouth. I guess you aren't very important in the Ding family either; I guess the family didn't even send experts to you!"

Ding Yang was so angry that he pointed at me and shouted: "You kid, don't be smug. I definitely won't let you off!"

After speaking, Ding Yang left with the family members.

As for me, looking at Zheng Hong and these people from the Zheng family in front of me, just as I was about to speak, they all left, not giving me a chance to ask questions at all.

I was stunned in place, lost in thought. I didn't expect the Zheng family to actually send people to protect me, and it seemed the person they sent was a very powerful expert. It could be seen that the Old Matriarch Zheng really cared about me; in the eyes of the Zheng family, I seemed to be very important.

Seeing that the time had come for the Zheng family, or rather my engagement day, Xiaohuan was naturally overjoyed, excited to the point of no return. It could be seen that she really liked me. Although I felt very sorry for her, these were things that couldn't be helped. I suppose she would understand in the future.

This day, the Zheng family began to decorate with lanterns and colored streamers, inviting everyone to a banquet. Seeing these people go to such great lengths for this matter, I felt very guilty. After all, it might be a waste of effort. I had been trying to contact Zhuge Yue these past few days, but this guy seemed to have disappeared, with no news at all. I even suspected that this guy had run away and left my matter behind.

In order to resolve this matter as soon as possible, I had sought out the Old Matriarch Zheng many times these past few days, but the Old Matriarch Zheng ignored me. She would never change things she had decided.

I was helpless and planned to struggle one last time. I came to the Old Matriarch's place and saw the Old Matriarch listening to Peking opera drums; this was one of the Old Matriarch's rare interests. Seeing me arrive, the Old Matriarch said with displeasure: "If you are still here to ask me to cancel the engagement, you might as well go back!"

"Old Matriarch, don't be like that. I really don't want to get engaged now, and Xiaohuan is so young. Do you really have the heart to ruin her in my hands?"

"I naturally know what I'm doing. As for whether it's ruining her or not, that's all up to you, and I believe in my own judgment!"

"Old Matriarch, I really!"

"Alright, stop talking. I've already invited people. Do you want me to make the Zheng family lose face in front of so many people?"

"But Old Matriarch, if people really come later, it might be even harder to clean up!"

"How dare you! What do you think my Zheng family is? You want to come, you come; you want to leave, you leave. Do you still have me, this Old Matriarch, in your eyes!"

"I didn't, I didn't mean that, Old Matriarch, don't be angry!" Seeing the Old Matriarch Zheng shaking all over with anger, I hurriedly persuaded her.

Looking at her appearance, I felt she was about to collapse at any moment, which scared me into telling her to stop talking, and I hurriedly retreated, fearing the Old Matriarch Zheng would continue to be angry.

The banquet was slowly beginning to be prepared, and many people had come to the Zheng family. Many families had also come to congratulate them. After all, the Zheng family was also a very large family here. Basically, famous families that had cooperation would come, and even the Ding family had come. However, whether the Ding family came with good intentions or otherwise was unknown.

Watching the time getting closer, I was anxious and kept taking out my phone to call Zhuge Yue, but this guy couldn't be contacted at all. She even told me not to worry. I'm worried to death, okay?

I hurriedly went to find Xiaohuan, and Xiaohuan was also overjoyed to see me, shouting excitedly: "Brother Yang Yun, we are getting engaged soon, eh. I didn't expect we would really have this day!"

Seeing Xiaohuan so happy and excited, to be honest, I couldn't bear to refuse her, but I really had no choice. Su Xueya was still waiting for me; how could I agree to marry Xiaohuan?

Seeing my expression, Xiaohuan asked in confusion: "Brother Yang Yun, what's wrong with you? Are you a bit unhappy?"

"Xiaohuan, listen to me. It's not that I don't like you, but the two of us really can't!"

Before I could finish, Xiaohuan interrupted me and said: "Alright, Brother Yang Yun, don't say any more!"

When Xiaohuan said these words, her whole body was trembling, and then she slowly began to sob. Seeing this, I panicked and hurriedly comforted her: "Xiaohuan, don't cry. I really didn't mean that, but the two of us!"

Seeing Xiaohuan crying harder and harder, I sighed helplessly and didn't have the heart to continue. I coaxed her for a long time before she stopped crying.

I couldn't get through to Xiaohuan, and I couldn't get through to the Old Matriarch. I could only place my hope in Zhuge Yue now, and could only pray that this guy Zhuge Yue would keep her word and help me solve this trouble.

I also saw many acquaintances at the venue, basically classmates from school. These classmates had extraordinary family backgrounds. I also saw Ding Yang. The Ding family had also come, but it looked like they were mostly here to cause trouble.

Standing beside Ding Yang was a middle-aged man with an extraordinary aura, and the other was mostly likely a bodyguard. That middle-aged man looked a bit like Ding Yang and appeared to be Ding Yang's father.

Seeing me, Ding Yang said with disdain: "You actually still dare to show up. Zheng Yun, I'm telling you, you're dead for sure!"

Regarding Ding Yang, to be honest, if it weren't for the Ding family, I really wouldn't take him seriously. I ignored his words completely.

And the middle-aged man beside Ding Yang looked at me, his gaze sharp as he looked at me: "You are Zheng Yun?"

I didn't speak, just nodded.

Seeing my reaction, the middle-aged man in front of me warned: "So young and disrespectful to elders, be careful not to live long!"

"It's not very good for the head of the dignified Ding family to be here scaring a junior of my Zheng family, is it?" I don't know when, but the Old Matriarch had also come over.

Seeing the Old Matriarch, I respectfully bowed to the Old Matriarch.

As for Ding Yang, seeing the Old Matriarch, he was so scared he didn't dare to speak. Ding Yang's father saw the Old Matriarch and chuckled: "Yo, is Old Matriarch Zheng really planning to fight to the death with our Ding family for this guy?"

The Old Matriarch snorted and shouted angrily: "Zheng Yun is a member of my Zheng family. If you dare to take action, try it. Even if we can't beat your Ding family, we will make your Ding family lose some teeth!"

Seeing the Old Matriarch's domineering refusal to give up, Ding Yang's father's face was ugly, but in the end, he could only smile awkwardly and say: "Old Matriarch, you're joking. I was just joking with you. Children playing house, how could it affect our families?"

Seeing these two at loggerheads, I didn't dare to interrupt on the side, and indeed I couldn't interrupt.

The time was almost up, and the Old Matriarch smiled and slowly walked towards the stage, and everyone was looking at the Old Matriarch on the stage, preparing to speak.

And just at this moment, someone suddenly shouted at the main entrance: "The Zhuge family is here to congratulate!"

Hearing the four words "Zhuge family," the people around were stunned and began to discuss it, all guessing if it was that legendary family.

"Zhuge family? Damn, it wouldn't be that legendary Zhuge family, would it? I didn't expect the Zheng family to actually know the Zhuge family?"

Even the people from the Ding family were in disbelief. You must know that the Zhuge family was a big family in Jingcheng, much more powerful than families like them. Even the Ding family didn't dare to challenge the Zhuge family.

And the most terrifying thing about the Zhuge family was not their family power, but the legendary divination power of asking heaven and observing stars. Many families tried every possible way to get on good terms with the Zhuge family, but the Zhuge family had always been guided by fate and was not influenced by any other factors, which led to many people wanting to befriend the Zhuge family but being unable to. ===== CHAPTER 196 =====
