Chapter 558

~7 min read 1,336 words

After Xu Tian promised repeatedly that he wouldn't easily make a move against others in the future, Tang Bingyan barely forgave him.

Being moved was truly being moved, but principles couldn't be broken. Tang Bingyan didn't want Xu Tian to be involved in those messy disputes, and once people knew he knew martial arts, it would bring a lot of trouble.

"Alright, wife, don't be angry anymore. I promise I won't easily fight with others next time!"

Xu Tian knew Tang Bingyan was doing it for his own good. Even if the other party was indeed somewhat overprotective, he still chose to abide by the agreement with the other party and not easily make a move to fight with others.

"By the way, I want to ask you one thing, wife, do you know about Wuji Island?"

Tang Bingyan's pupils shrank suddenly, but her expression quickly returned to the indifferent look she usually had.

"I don't know, is it a newly developed tourist attraction?"

"No."

Xu Tian shook his head. Seeing that Tang Bingyan's tone didn't seem like she knew about Wuji Island either, he was somewhat disappointed.

"After the arena tournament ended, Ms. An chatted with me for a while. I heard her mention it, and she also asked me if I knew about Wuji Island and if I was a member of the Wuji Martial Arts Association."

"Wuji Martial Arts Association?" Tang Bingyan asked calmly, "Is it related to Wuji Island?"

"That's right, it is said that there is an orthodox Huaxia martial arts inheritance on Wuji Island, and the headquarters of the Wuji Martial Arts Association is on Wuji Island. At the same time, there are branches of the Wuji Martial Arts Association all over the world, and the power is very huge."

"Hmm." Tang Bingyan nodded, looking uninterested.

Xu Tian was thinking about Wuji Island and didn't notice, but continued: "I searched with my phone just now and didn't find any relevant information. If Ms. An hadn't told me that she had worked in a branch of the Wuji Martial Arts Association before, I would have even thought she was joking."

"An Hui Xian said she worked in the Wuji Martial Arts Association?" Tang Bingyan lowered her head slightly, and a strange look flashed in her eyes.

"Hmm, that's what she said."

Xu Tian finally realized that Tang Bingyan's reaction was too indifferent.

"Wife, are you still angry?"

Tang Bingyan shook her head: "No, I just have a headache."

"Headache? Didn't you sleep well last night?"

Xu Tian worriedly helped Tang Bingyan lie down.

Tang Bingyan pinched her eyebrows: "Maybe, it's an old problem, it's fine."

"How can it be fine." Xu Tian immediately got up, "I'll go get essential oil for your massage. Don't work overtime to process documents tonight, go to sleep early."

Saying this, without waiting for Tang Bingyan to agree, he turned and walked out of the bedroom.

After Xu Tian left the room, Tang Bingyan slowly sat up from the bed, and her expression was no longer as indifferent as just now.

"Wuji Island..."

Early morning, everything was silent.

Xu Tian, who was originally sleeping soundly, suddenly woke up from his dream. He panted and turned to look at Tang Bingyan sleeping beside him, his tense nerves gradually relaxing.

He just had a nightmare, as if he had returned to the time of his death in his previous life.

The intense firelight made him unable to open his eyes, and he could faintly hear the crackling sound of wood exploding in his ears, and even his skin felt a burning, stinging sensation.

Unlike when he was just reborn, Xu Tian hadn't dreamed of the scene of his death in his previous life for a long time.

However, after he calmed down and recalled the scene of the dream just now, he felt that the scene in the dream was different from his previous life.

Perhaps it was because there were too many things recently, and he was too tired.

Xu Tian slowly exhaled a breath of turbid air and walked out of bed on tiptoe, intending to pour a glass of water to drink, but didn't notice that when he just turned around, Tang Bingyan, who was originally sleeping with her eyes closed, slowly opened her eyes.

Monday morning, after the Flourishing Stars Media meeting ended, Yan Qingxue came to Xu Tian's office and brought an invitation.

"Xu Tian, Yan Hongyu is going to get engaged to the daughter of the Xu family, and he even pretentiously sent invitations to both of us. Do you think we should go?"

"Since the invitation has been sent, of course we should go."

Xu Tian took the invitation and looked at it. This invitation was designed gorgeously and ostentatiously, which was very consistent with Yan Hongyu's style.

"By the way, Grandpa and Grandma also said to let Mom and Dad come to participate in the engagement ceremony."

Yan Qingxue was somewhat conflicted.

On one hand, she really hoped to see Grandpa and Grandma's attitude toward Mom and Dad soften, but on the other hand, she was worried that the Yan second uncle's family would bully her Mom and Dad at the engagement ceremony.

She wasn't afraid, just worried that Mom and Dad would be wronged.

"After all, you are all Yan family members, you must attend such an important occasion." Xu Tian said, "Godfather is the eldest son of the Yan family, and you are the eldest granddaughter of the Yan family. No one can snatch what belongs to you."

"That's what I said, but Mom and Dad and I don't care about the Yan family's property. It's the Yan second uncle's family, guarding against us like thieves, measuring the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain!"

Whenever the Yan second uncle's family was mentioned, Yan Qingxue couldn't suppress her anger.

Even the Giant Star Media annual meeting last time could be used by them to calculate her. This time, maybe Yan second aunt and Yan Hongyu would deliberately design some traps for her to jump into again.

"Don't worry, no matter what means they have, they won't get their wish, and in the end, they will still lift a rock only to drop it on their own feet." Xu Tian said firmly.

In fact, he recalled a matter that caused a lot of noise in his previous life, which attracted a lot of media attention, so he had already guessed that this engagement banquet would not be peaceful.

Yan family.

Yan Hongyu picked out three spare dresses in the dressing room, each of which was hand-sewn by internationally renowned designers, worth nearly a million, and then matched with leather shoes, ties, cufflinks, watches, and other outfits. Just the clothing and accessories would cost nearly ten million.

This price was still a bit strenuous for Yan Hongyu.

Although he was the manager of Giant Star Media now, his basic salary was only over ten thousand, plus he gave Xu Miaoyin a luxury villa as an engagement gift a while ago. If it weren't for the year-end dividends and Yan second aunt's subsidies, he couldn't afford these expensive dresses and accessories at all.

However, these expenses were worth it to him. He must show his importance to Xu Miaoyin in front of outsiders. As long as he could get engaged to Xu Miaoyin and then successfully get married, he could get Xu Miaoyin's generous dowry and the Xu family's investment.

With the support of Xu Miaoyin and her maiden family, they could firmly hold the power of the Yan Group.

Originally, Yan Hongyu was sure of winning, but Yan Qingxue's performance recently made him feel somewhat uneasy.

His Grandpa and Grandma didn't have the old-fashioned concept that the eldest grandson must inherit the family property, and they valued ability more. If Yan Qingxue really showed extraordinary business talent, maybe Grandpa and Grandma would really divide a part of the group's industry and hand it over to Yan Qingxue.
