My Arrogant Young Lady

She was angry.

At that moment, Xi'er saw her gaze, and so did Tongjia Laogu. Spring, summer, autumn, winter, and the stunningly beautiful girl beside her. All the maids of the Yehenara family also saw her gaze.

At that moment, everyone's faces gradually turned pale. Xi'er immediately stood up and said to her, "Mother, Wang Xi has been raised by ordinary families for too long. He doesn't understand the family rules. If he has offended anyone, please forgive him..."

Upon hearing Xi'er's words, the woman simply raised her right hand. The long finger guards on her right ring and little fingers were gently lifted, her demeanor exuding indescribable nobility.

Then she spoke. Her voice was languid and pleasant, yet it also carried an undeniable air of authority. "Wang Xi, who is more important, Xi'er or Zhang Xuan?"

"..." I was stunned by what the woman said.

"I'm giving you a choice: Xi'er or Zhang Xuan, which one do you choose?" the woman asked me.

Hearing the woman's words, I hesitated again. Looking into her cold eyes, which revealed a powerful aura, my feelings grew increasingly complex.

This woman is so smart; her question stumped me.

"Can't answer? If you can't, you can think about it carefully and come back to answer me when you've made up your mind. I'm tired, Tongjia Lao Gu, see the guest out!" After saying that, the woman gave me a cold look and turned to walk upstairs.

"Young Master, please!" The old man lowered his head and gestured for me to enter.

Seeing that I had angered Xi'er's mother, her impression of me worsened considerably. Xi'er noticed my pale face, and the eyes of Chunxia, ​​Qiudong, and the many maids in the household gradually turned disdainful. Thinking of the missing Zhang Xuan, I began to panic. Ignoring the old woman's attempts to shoo me away, I immediately shouted to the Empress Dowager, who was preparing to go upstairs, "Auntie, please tell me where Zhang Xuan is! If you tell me her whereabouts, I will leave immediately!"

After hearing my words, Xi'er's mother slowly turned around. At that moment, her gaze towards me became even colder.

Xia'er immediately pulled out a leather whip and shouted at me, "How dare you!"

"Auntie, Zhang Xuan is just an ordinary person. You are a descendant of royalty. Why should you lower yourself to her level? I beg you, tell me her whereabouts. If you tell me her whereabouts, I will leave the Ye family immediately!" I said urgently to Xi'er's mother.

"Zhang Xuan is missing, what are you doing here looking for me?" the woman sneered.

“Because someone told me that you met Zhang Xuan’s family and gave them 20 million yuan to make them disappear from my sight forever,” I said.

"Mother?" Xi'er was also surprised to hear my words. She seemed unaware of this and looked at the woman in astonishment.

"Wang Xi, do you know what my relationship is with your mother?" The woman didn't answer my question, but looked at me coldly and said.

"I don't know." I shook my head gently.

"Back then, our Ye family and your Wang family were embroiled in a great war instigated by treacherous individuals. This war lasted for half a year, and both our Ye family and your Wang family paid a heavy price. But in this war, your mother saved me. Her martial arts skills were unparalleled, and I admired her character. Therefore, I wish to be her friend forever, and I have betrothed my unborn daughter to you, pointing to my unborn child." As she said this, a hint of warmth appeared in the woman's eyes. Then, her eyes turned cold again. "Wang Xi, you are her son. Your mother is a good person and has accumulated much good fortune for you. I hope you can preserve the good fortune your mother has accumulated for you and not betray her reputation. You are destined to be extraordinary. Following that ordinary girl will only harm her and leave her with no benefit."

"For ordinary families, choosing to disappear is a wise choice."

"What?" Hearing Xi'er's mother's words, my limbs gradually turned cold again. I stared blankly at Xi'er's mother, my eyes gradually becoming confused.

"Practice your martial arts diligently. Save yourself some skills to protect yourself. Study hard, don't ruin your Wang family's legacy. Although your Wang family is on par with my Ye family, compared to my Ye family, you're just a nouveau riche who became gods in one generation. Instead of wasting time on romance, you should plan more for the future of your Wang family. Wang Xi, you are far inferior to your parents. You are not good enough for Xi'er." Looking at me, the woman's eyes gradually revealed pity.

"Auntie, did you really drive Zhang Xuan's family away?" Faced with the woman's sarcasm, I wasn't angry. I was just sad, and I was still thinking about Zhang Xuan.

"Heh, so what if I kicked her family out?" the woman sneered.

"So, where did Zhang Xuan and her family go?" I asked.

"I don't know. All I know is they'll never come back, and they'll never let you find her." The woman gave me a cold look as she spoke, then turned and walked upstairs.

As the woman's figure gradually disappeared from my sight, my heart seemed to shatter.

I never dreamed that Xi'er's mother, whom I loved, would do such a thing. To ensure that Xi'er and I could be together, she actually gave Zhang Xuan's mother twenty million yuan to make her family disappear from my sight.

And now they've really disappeared; they've completely vanished from my sight.

"Wang Xi, I didn't know my mother would do this. I'm sorry, don't be sad. I'll go talk to my mother. I'll try to find Zhang Xuan for you." Seeing my sad expression, Xi'er quickly comforted me in a low voice.

"No need. Since your mother has driven them away, I may really never see them again." Looking at the beautiful Xi'er in front of me, I felt an indescribable sadness.

“Wang Xi…” Xi’er glanced at me too. Sadness gradually appeared in her eyes.

"I'm just sad that Zhang Xuan left me this way. Xi'er, I love you too, and I respect your mother. I don't blame you, and I don't blame your mother. If I have to blame someone, it's my special status. So what if I'm the heir of the Wang family? So what if I'm rich? What's the point of being the heir of the Wang family if I can't see the person I love every day? I'd rather be an ordinary person..." Looking at Xi'er, tears welled up in my eyes. The thought of never seeing Zhang Xuan again suddenly made me angrily rip off my tie.

"Haha, I'd rather be an ordinary person!" With a loud laugh, I took off my suit jacket. Then, looking utterly dejected, I walked towards the door.

As I walked, I laughed out loud with every step I took. And each time I laughed, I took off one of my valuable possessions.

There is no greater sorrow than the death of the heart; physical death is secondary.

Xi'er is my fiancée. She is very good to me and has done so much for me. She was poisoned while trying to save me, and she risked her life to save me, almost being seriously injured by Wang Huan. I love her, I cherish her like a younger sister, and I protect her like a lover. I respect her, and I also respect her mother.

I couldn't yell at her mother, much less roar at her mother. I could only rebel silently in this way.

I don't want to be a prince anymore, nor do I want to be a child of a powerful family. I am just me, an ordinary Wang Xi.

I just wanted to simply like someone, and when I had money, I only wanted to make the person I liked happy. But Zhang Xuan disappeared; she will never appear in my world again.

I failed to cherish her, failed to appreciate the time we spent together. Even now, I haven't given her a single gift…

Without Zhang Xuan, what's the point of all this?!

As I walked across the arched bridge of the Yehenara Family Manor, I couldn't help but look at the clear pool water beneath my feet and let out a loud shout.

I hate it, I hate that Xi'er's mother used such despicable means to get rid of Zhang Xuan's family.

I resent it all; I resent Zhang Xuan's mother's shortsightedness in taking Zhang Xuan away for just 20 million. Aunt, you underestimate me. Do you think I can't come up with 20 million? As long as you can bring Zhang Xuan back, what's wrong with giving you ten times that amount?!

When I was utterly disheartened, feeling as if I were dead, a cold voice suddenly came from behind me, "Wang Xi, are you really not going to be the heir of the Wang family anymore?"

“I’m done. I’m no longer going to be the heir of the Wang family. I’m just an ordinary person now, an ordinary Wang Xi,” I said.

"Very well, then get out. Ordinary people are not qualified to walk out of the Ye family openly and honestly!" the voice said coldly.

"What if I insist on walking out properly?" I turned around to look at those cold eyes.

Chapter 168 The Price

Looking into those eyes, I felt no fear at that moment. My heart was dead, and I even contemplated suicide. Without Zhang Xuan, I was utterly despondent. Without Zhang Xuan, I felt that life had lost all meaning for me.

Xi'er, the old man, the young man, and many maids from the Yehenara family also rushed out at this moment. Seeing that I was locked in a direct confrontation with Xi'er's mother, their auras sharply clashing, many members of the Yehenara family immediately drew their swords. Chun'er even instantly drew the giant bow on her back. With the bow drawn and arrow pointed directly at me, she said, "How dare you be so disrespectful to our Elder Tongjia! Wang Xi, why don't you kneel down and apologize to our Elder Tongjia at once?!"

Hearing Chun'er's words, I laughed. I spread my arms wide, laughing coldly, "Sorry, the word 'kneel' has never existed in my dictionary, Wang Xi's dictionary. Whether I was weak or powerful, whether facing strength or authority, I, Wang Xi, do not know how to kneel..."

"You!" Upon hearing my words, Chun'er immediately drew her bow with a sharp, jerky pull. The arrow was already on the string and had to be released; she had already drawn the entire massive bow. If she released it now, she would surely strain her arm.

“Not bad, you really do resemble your father. But this is the Yehenara family, not your Wang family. This is not a place for you to run wild!” Xi’er’s mother spoke up, finally angered by me. An Yao had told me that Xi’er’s mother had a bad temper.

"Auntie, I respect you, and I didn't act rudely towards you." I smiled and turned to leave.

"Oh? Then what do you mean by throwing away the clothes that my Ye family gave you? Are you renouncing your position as heir and using passive-aggressive behavior to rebel against me?" Xi'er's mother sneered.

"Hehe..." After hearing what Xi'er's mother said, I smiled and turned to leave.

But the gate before me remained closed. A whistle sounded, and suddenly a large number of people surged forth from all directions. They were all young, and each exuded an impressive aura. At that moment, I realized just how powerful the Yehenara family truly was.

There were over a hundred young people, each possessing at least the strength of a low-level martial arts master. Among them were even four or five god-level experts.

“If you want to walk out standing up, you’ll have to pay the price!” Xi’er’s mother said coldly.

"Hehe..." After hearing what Xi'er's mother said, I still strode towards the door.

With a snap, an arrow grazed past my ear. It pierced my ear and struck the door in front of me.

Looking at the arrow before me, I remained silent. Then, suppressing my anger, I continued walking towards the gate.

At that moment, one of the young men beside me moved. A young man flashed by, instantly creating a gust of wind as he threw a punch at me.

This young man possessed the strength of a low-level martial arts master. Seeing his incoming fist, I quickly used my movement technique to dodge. At the same time, I threw a heavy punch at him, yelling, "Get lost!"

With that punch, I sent the young man staggering back two steps. His eyes widened in surprise; he hadn't expected that I would injure someone of similar lower-level martial arts skill.

Behind her, Xi'er's mother laughed disdainfully, "As expected of Leng Yan's last disciple, a disciple taught by a renowned master is indeed different. But. If you give up on your status as the heir today, I will teach you a lesson on behalf of your mother. I will make you understand that you, the heir of the Wang family, are not someone you can simply abandon!"

"Then I'll give up my status as the heir apparent today!" At this moment, I finally lost my temper. I turned around and roared at Xi'er's mother.

"You beast, you're asking for death!" The young man next to the old man moved. He flashed in front of me and then struck me hard with his palm.

Seeing the young man's powerful palm strikes, I was secretly alarmed.

A god-level expert, is this the difference between us?

His palm strike was fierce, and his speed was too fast. Seeing that he was about to strike me with a palm and I had no time to dodge, I immediately tensed all my muscles and used my external martial arts technique.

With a loud slap, the young man struck me hard in the chest. Even though I had tensed all my muscles, I was still sent flying by his blow.

The gap between a martial arts master and a god-level master is enormous...

My body landed heavily, and my face immediately turned deathly pale. My chest felt so tight and painful that I couldn't breathe, and I had to cough up a mouthful of blood to feel a little better.

“Even a low-level martial arts master can’t withstand a single palm strike from a god-level expert like me. You actually managed to withstand one of my palm strikes. It seems your body has been rigorously trained these past few months.” Seeing that I only coughed up blood after being struck by his palm, the young man frowned slightly.

"Heh..." Knowing I was no match for them, I glared at him hatefully and stood up. Then, gritting my teeth, I walked towards the door.

"Elder Tongjia said that if you want to walk out standing up, you have to pay the price. Ordinary people are not qualified to leave our Yehenara family!" Another palm strike came from behind, and I felt as if my back had been hit by a car. I immediately spat out a mouthful of blood, and I was sent flying again.

"Mother!" Xi'er's voice was filled with indescribable sorrow as she saw me struck twice by that god-level expert.

“Xi’er, Wang Xi wants to give up his status as the heir apparent. Without the heir apparent, he has no right to be with you. Giving up the heir apparent is the same as giving up you. He has no vision for the bigger picture; he only cares about that insignificant, ordinary girl. You don't need to waste your breath pleading for such a man with no ambition. Anyway, he's no longer the heir apparent, and he doesn't want to go home to see his parents. It's better to depose him, respect his choice, and turn him into an ordinary person. It'll save you from being a widow if he gets killed in the future.” Xi’er’s mother said coldly.

"Xi'er, I'm sorry..." I gritted my teeth, blood dripping from my mouth onto the ground. My heart pounded, and my blood surged within me. I whispered an apology to Xi'er. I struggled to my feet. As soon as I stood up, the crowd around me erupted in uproar.

"Senior Brother, this kid can actually stand up!"

"Is Leng Yan's disciple really this powerful?"

"He's just an ordinary person, right? As far as I know, he's only practiced martial arts for three months. And yet, he was able to withstand two blows from my senior brother?"

The crowd gradually became chaotic, and everyone looked at me with surprise. Their gazes flickered, constantly shifting between me and their senior brother.

The god-level expert's expression gradually turned grim. He gathered his true energy in his hand, transforming into a shadowy figure as he struck me with another palm strike. "If you don't fall, then you will pay the price!"

"roll!"

Seeing that the god-level expert relentlessly pursue me, I suddenly unleashed all my power and punched him. At that moment, I was utterly enraged. My eyes shone with a golden light, and my body seemed to be surrounded by a giant golden dragon, its massive head roaring at him with its mouth open.

With a sharp crack, fist and palm collided. The moment my fist struck his palm, I felt my blood surge like a raging sea. At that instant, a tightness gripped my chest, and I coughed up a mouthful of blood. The blood sprayed all over his face, and I was sent flying, crashing heavily against the gate of the Yehenara family's house.

My vision went black for a moment, then cleared again. I forced myself to stay upright. I immediately squinted, pointed at him, and said, "Hey kid, what's your name?"

"Ye Shuang, I am Xi'er's cousin," the young man said coldly.

"Heh heh, so you're from one of the four major branches of the Yehenara family. Ye Shuang, you just wait. I, Wang Xi, will definitely repay those three slaps today!" Blood kept flowing from my mouth as I suddenly turned around and pounded on the door behind me. "I've already taken three slaps from you, so open the door now!?"

"..." After hearing my words, the entire Yehenara family manor fell silent.

"Open the door." Suddenly, Xi'er's mother spoke.

"Auntie, this boy has offended you!" Ye Shuang looked at me with hatred in her eyes.

“If he wants to be an ordinary person, then let him leave.” Xi’er’s mother looked at me with disappointment in her eyes, then turned around and slowly walked into the room.
