My Arrogant Young Lady

I offended him at LL Group last time. He hadn't had a chance to settle the score with me yet. But Shanshan suddenly appeared and saved me, which startled him and made him let me go.

But now I've reappeared, and I've even stolen the delicious dish he was about to get. He's furious now, and he's determined to teach me a lesson no matter the cost.

Thinking of this, the young master Hou immediately pointed at the waiter's nose and said, "How much money did this kid give you? I'll pay double to get him out of here!"

"This is going to be good. Young Master Hou, the nouveau riche of Mingzhu City, is going to throw a tantrum. Today, it looks like a money-throwing war is about to begin," the middle-aged gentleman who had just inquired about Young Master Hou's identity immediately said to the people around him.

"Ten thousand. Make him get out of here!" Young Master Hou shouted.

"Young Master Hou, you can't." The waiter smiled wryly upon hearing Young Master Hou's words.

"One million? You want him to get out?" the young master Hou asked again.

"Young Master Hou, please stop making a scene." The waiter smiled wryly again.

"Ten million. What do you want, just tell him to get out of here?!" Seeing that even the waiter wasn't giving him any face, Young Master Hou felt that his dignity had been insulted.

"No..." the waiter shook his head.

"Damn it, a hundred million! Get him out of here!" When the amount of one hundred million was mentioned, even the young master Hou was startled. To come up with one hundred million, he would likely need his father's and the group's board of directors' approval. And if his father and the board found out he had embezzled so much money for this purpose, he would definitely be severely reprimanded. The money wouldn't be given to him; instead, everyone would think he had intellectual problems.

"One hundred million?" Hearing that Young Master Hou was actually offering me one hundred million to get out, even many of the upper-class people present were a little uneasy.

When I heard Young Master Hou say he would take out a hundred million and tell me to get out, I immediately looked at him in surprise and said, "Young Master Hou, a king's word is his bond. Are you serious?"

"This..." In a moment of impulse, Young Master Hou hadn't expected to put on such a grand show. But seeing that even I was moved, and with so many prominent figures watching, for the sake of his Hou family's reputation, Young Master Hou gritted his teeth and said, "A gentleman's word is his bond! I, Young Master Hou, will do what I say!"

"Okay, as long as you sign a commitment letter, I'll get out of here right now." As I said this, I gave the waiter a look.

"This..." Seeing that I was serious, the young master Hou was a little dumbfounded.

“Young Master Hou, do you keep your word? If you give this restaurant one hundred million, I’ll get out immediately. If you don’t give this restaurant one hundred million, you get out,” I said.

"Fuck you, do you think I can't afford a hundred million? Fine, I'll give it to you, but give me the written commitment right now!" Young Master Hou roared in anger.

I stared at Young Master Hou for a moment, and when the waiter brought the guarantee, Young Master Hou immediately signed his name. Seeing that Zhang Xuan was already asleep, I picked her up and said, "Young Master Hou, you're amazing! I'm impressed! I'm leaving right now!"

"Haha, you admit defeat now? If you do, then get lost." Seeing that I was really leaving, even though Young Master Hou had made a big mistake, he still felt very satisfied.

And so I left with Zhang Xuan in my arms. As soon as I left with Zhang Xuan in my arms, I heard a lot of people praising me, "The Hou family of Mingzhu City is indeed rich and powerful, taking out 100 million to make someone get lost, we've seen it all."

"Heh, you want to fight me?" The young master Hou's face turned pale, and his body trembled uncontrollably.

"Young Master, why did you come out so soon? Have you looked at the restaurant? What do you think?" As I carried Zhang Xuan out, an elderly man in a sharp suit immediately walked towards me respectfully.

"Not bad." I nodded slightly.

"Hehe, I'm glad you like it. I've already given you this restaurant. As for the elixir that the martial arts practitioners need, when will you send someone to deliver it to me?" the old man said respectfully with a smile.

"I'll send someone to deliver it to you tomorrow," I said.

Chapter 402 Reunion

After washing a towel, I gently wrung it out and lightly wiped Zhang Xuan's face as she slept. At this moment, Zhang Xuan had taken Hou Gongzi's sleeping potion and was unconscious. She would be completely unaware of anything I did to her.

More than two years have passed in the blink of an eye. After wiping Zhang Xuan's face, I couldn't help but stare intently at her features. She was still the same; she was still so beautiful. Her chin was pointed, her skin fair, her nose delicate, and her slightly reddish eyes always looked so alluring. Now, I've grown up, and she's grown up too. She's become more mature, and her breasts are fuller than before. If I could describe Xi'er as ethereal and elegant, then I could only describe Zhang Xuan as a stunning beauty.

Zhang Xuan is not only beautiful, but her figure is also indescribably good. Whenever I look at her long legs, I always feel an inexplicable urge.

As for the many girls I know, they all have long, slender legs like Zhang Xuan. But I'm particularly fond of Zhang Xuan. Maybe it's because we grew up together.

Even if Zhang Xuan becomes unattractive one day, she will always be my goddess.

Soon, the father's good friend, Brother Yinxian, walked in, a cigarette dangling from his lips. Seeing that Zhang Xuan had been drugged, Brother Yinxian asked with displeasure, "That Hou family brat dared to drug your woman! Why didn't you ask Brother Huoshan to teach him a lesson?"

"No rush," I said, gently stroking Zhang Xuan's pretty face.

"But you and your father are really alike, both incredibly sullen. As soon as they heard you were the heir of the Wang family, that Justice of the Peace immediately gave you his restaurant. You're already the owner of that restaurant, and instead of kicking the Hou family brat out, you swindled him out of a hundred million. That promise is legally binding, so you'll definitely take it to the Hou family to collect the debt, right?" the cunning brother asked me.

“Of course,” I smiled.

"Just like your father, always so bored. You stay with your beautiful sister, I won't bother you anymore." With a wicked grin, the cunning guy closed the door and left.

Thanks to the cunning brother's help, I learned more about the role of the head of the Wang family. When the Justice of the Peace learned that I was Wang Yang's son, he immediately gave me the most luxurious restaurant in Hong Kong, in exchange for a magic pill that would allow the Justice of the Peace to live ten years longer than a normal person.

Normally, the lifespan of each person is around 130 years. However, the ancient master Zhang Zhenren was a martial arts grandmaster who lived to be over 200 years old.

Because many of us don't pay attention to our personal behavior, many of us may reach the end of our lives in our seventies or eighties. For example, some young people like to masturbate, many young people like to eat junk food, some girls take diet pills, or they stay up late sitting in front of the computer without rest, smoke, drink alcohol, and live in a polluted environment. All of these factors can affect our lifespan.

That Justice of the Peace is now rich and powerful; he needs nothing more. What he wants most is longevity. Our Wang family and the Ye family have close ties, and when he learned I was the new head of the Wang family, he immediately offered me that top-tier restaurant in exchange for a spiritual elixir.

Our Wang family has many spiritual herbs. That Justice of the Peace is a good man, and I'm happy to give him one so he can live ten years longer. The spiritual herb I'm giving him isn't about how much he eats to prolong his life. It's about ensuring that, given his limited lifespan, the herb helps him expel some toxins from his body and simultaneously generates spiritual energy to protect his aging organs, allowing him to live ten years longer than before.

It's like he could only live to eighty before, but after taking this elixir, he can live to ninety. However, if he wants to live to one hundred, that's not something one elixir can solve; he'd need two, three, or even more. And a person can only live to a maximum of one hundred and thirty. Once his lifespan reaches its limit, even if he eats elixirs like melon seeds every day, it won't help.

Elixir of immortality is extremely rare; it's something ordinary people like them can't buy no matter how much money they have. For a Justice of the Peace to exchange a top-tier restaurant in Hong Kong for one of my Wang family's elixirs, he's made a killing.

But the cunning guy made me realize what kind of person everyone fears and respects.

He is someone everyone needs.

Powerful figures need the Wang family's influence, businessmen need the Wang family's wealth. And those old tycoons like the Justices of the Peace need the Wang family's magic potions. The Wang family is now needed by everyone. Whenever they encounter difficulties, they turn to the Wang family, and the Wang family will do everything in its power to help them.

This is the key reason why the Wang family will become the supreme martial arts family.

Now, I am someone that everyone is starting to need.

After rescuing Zhang Xuan, I had no desire to argue with that young master Hou. Now, I only wish for Zhang Xuan's well-being and for her to stay by my side forever.

When I got tired of watching over Zhang Xuan for a long time, I thought for a moment and gently lay down next to her to watch her quietly. Then, I gently covered her with a blanket and said, "Sister, goodnight."

Nothing happened that night. When I woke up the next morning, the first thing I saw when I opened my eyes was Zhang Xuan glaring at me.

"Wang Xi, what are you doing here? And why did you bring me to this hotel?" Zhang Xuan threw a pillow at me and stared at me coldly.

"Sis. I saved you yesterday, have you forgotten?" I asked in surprise as I sat up, not feeling any pain from being hit by the pillow.

"I can't remember." Hearing my words, Zhang Xuan tried hard to recall everything from yesterday. But all she remembered was going to a Western restaurant to have dinner with Young Master Hou. Then, after drinking a glass of red wine, she started feeling dizzy.

She couldn't quite remember what happened after that; it all felt like a dream.

"Damn, you've forgotten everything?" I was even more surprised, not expecting that the drug Young Master Hou had used was so potent.

"Heh, weren't you already a live-in son-in-law of the Ye family? Why are you coming to see me again? Weren't you having a good time with Xi'er? What are you doing here?" In Zhang Xuan's mind, my family was indeed very wealthy. But she had no idea what my family actually did. She only knew that I had a powerful uncle who was a gangster. An Yao's family were big shots in the Northern War Zone. As for my marriage with Xi'er, it was a marriage of convenience. My family shouldn't be as powerful as Xi'er's, otherwise I wouldn't have become her live-in son-in-law.

"I missed you, so I came here specifically to see you," I said.

"Oh? You missed me? You came all this way just to find me? Then what do you mean by having Xi'er's family give my mother twenty million? Since you couldn't wait for me to get out of here, why did you come looking for me? Now that I'm gone, isn't that great? Now that I'm gone, you can be with Xi'er forever. Be your rich man. Be Xi'er's powerful son-in-law. How could an ordinary girl like me be worthy of you?" Zhang Xuan said coldly.

After hearing Zhang Xuan's words, I realized that Shan Shan had indeed not told Zhang Xuan that secret. Now, in Zhang Xuan's mind, she also believed that the 20 million really was given to her family by the Empress Dowager.

And in her heart, she probably harbors hatred towards us. She hates me for marrying Xi'er out of greed for wealth, and she thinks Xi'er is a scheming woman who outwardly agreed to our relationship but secretly had her mother give her family 20 million yuan to kick them out of the north. She is thinking of me, but now that she's sober, she can't help but feel furious whenever she sees me.

I know Zhang Xuan inside and out. I know she has a sharp tongue but a soft heart. No matter how much resentment she harbors towards us, all I have to do is coax her and she'll be fine.

If that doesn't work, try being forceful. Give her a good beating and she'll definitely shut up.

Thinking of this, I simply pounced on Zhang Xuan. I was prepared to use force. I wanted to make her body belong to me, so I wouldn't have to keep explaining to her.

But just as I pinned Zhang Xuan down, before I could even kiss her, she burst into tears. Then, she slapped me hard across the face, crying, "Wang Xi, don't touch me. We're over. Since you've chosen Xi'er, why are you still here with me? Are you trying to mock me? Are you trying to ridicule how badly I treated you when we were kids? Sorry, I, Zhang Xuan, am doing very well now, and I'm not much worse off than you. I'm now the vice president of LL Group, a well-known conglomerate in Jiangnan. My annual salary is several million; I can already buy luxury homes and sports cars. I'm doing very well, and I don't need your pity."

I originally wanted to tease Zhang Xuan a bit, but I didn't expect her to get really angry, which left me feeling quite helpless. I had no choice but to let her off the hook and looked seriously into her eyes, saying, "Sister, if I said that the 20 million wasn't given to your mother by the Empress Dowager, but by Shanshan, would you believe me?"

"I don't believe you, you're lying to me! Shanshan was just an ordinary student back then, not a big star yet. Where would she get the money to give my mom? Besides, Shanshan and I are very close now, she takes good care of me. She's my good friend, how could she do such a thing?" Zhang Xuan cried with her eyes closed, feeling wronged.

"Damn it, you're still as stupid as ever!" Seeing Zhang Xuan so agitated, I couldn't help but become a little impatient.

"You're still as shameless as ever, you're not nice to me at all!" Crying, Zhang Xuan thought for a moment and suddenly threw herself into my arms.

I was completely stunned when Zhang Xuan suddenly threw herself into my arms. She cried in my embrace, hitting me hard, and said, "Wang Xi, do you know how much I've missed you these past two years? I've worked so hard every day, wishing I could go back to the North to be with you. How many wealthy young men did I reject for you? How many people richer than your Wang family did I turn down? I'm so tired. Every day of these past two years has been so hard. My mother ruined me; I can't go to university, I can't be with you. I miss you, I miss you so much..."

"Sister, I miss you so much too. I know none of this is your fault, it's your mother's fault. Now that I'm here, no one will bully you anymore, and you'll never have to live such a hard life again..." Hearing Zhang Xuan's tearful complaint, my nose couldn't help but feel a little sore.

Chapter 403 Ordinary Life

"Sister, what exactly happened in the past two years? Didn't Aunt take you abroad? Why didn't you go abroad, but instead settled in Mingzhu City?" As Zhang Xuan's emotions gradually stabilized, her sobs subsided. I held Zhang Xuan tightly, my heart filled with mixed feelings.

Now, I'm eager to know what happened in the past two years and why Zhang Xuan's family didn't go abroad.

"My mom, she was rejected for a visa." After hearing my words, Zhang Xuan picked up a tissue and gently wiped her nose. Then, she looked at me with a wronged expression and tears streamed down her face again.

"You were rejected?" I was surprised.

"Yes, my mom was rejected for a visa. At that time, Xi'er's mother gave my mom 20 million yuan, telling her to take the 20 million and disappear in the provincial capital. My mom felt that 20 million was already a lot. Even if your family is rich, they wouldn't give my family 20 million after we got married. Besides, Xi'er's family is very rich. When they came to my house, they drove a Rolls-Royce and several Bentleys. My mom was quite afraid of Xi'er's mother, so she quickly contacted people to sell the house and my dad's company."

"At that time, my mother had always longed for life abroad, but she never expected to be denied a visa. Then our family didn't dare to go back to the provincial capital. My mother had already bragged to her friends that she was going to enjoy life abroad, and she was too ashamed to go back to the provincial capital. After discussing it, my mother said that Mingzhu City was also very good. Being able to live in Mingzhu City is already quite impressive. So she thought that after going to Mingzhu City, she would buy a villa and live a comfortable life."

“But my mom didn’t expect that housing prices in Mingzhu City would be ridiculously high. We don’t have enough money to buy a villa, or even a big house. My mom bought a house in Jing’an District for 120,000 yuan per square meter. The house was 120 square meters, and it cost more than 14 million yuan in total. After renovations, the remaining money wasn’t even enough for my dad to start a company. We rented a place downstairs to open a supermarket, just to barely make ends meet. The house isn’t as big as we had in the provincial capital, and we can’t afford a car. Compared to our previous life, we’re worse off than poor people in Mingzhu City.” As she spoke, Zhang Xuan looked incredibly aggrieved.

"Haha, your mom is so pitiful." I couldn't help but laugh after hearing Zhang Xuan's words.

I grew up in Zhang Xuan's family, and I know their lifestyle. At school, Zhang Xuan was always known as one of the wealthiest people. But even though my aunt received 20 million from Shan Shan in Mingzhu City, it's still nothing there. Perhaps this is the retribution my aunt deserved.

“Then when I started school, I realized that my grades weren’t anything special. The education system there was different from that in the north, and I couldn’t keep up with their courses at all. Plus, I was feeling down during that time, and my grades plummeted. My family ran out of money, and my parents were arguing about money all the time. So I just dropped out of school and stayed home for a while before going out to work,” Zhang Xuan said.

"Sigh. I'm so sorry you've suffered." I couldn't help but sigh.

"Fortunately, I sold cosmetics in the mall for a while and became the top salesperson that quarter. Then the company appreciated my work and transferred me to the marketing department. Later, I did well in the marketing department and was transferred to the head office's marketing department. Then I became the manager of the head office's marketing department, and just last month I was promoted to vice president of the group. If I work hard, I can get several million in bonuses every year. If I work for eight or ten years, I won't be any worse off than your family." Zhang Xuan took a deep breath and said.

"Millions a year. If you work for ten or eight years, you won't be worse off than my family." Hearing Zhang Xuan's words, I couldn't help but widen my eyes.

“Wang Xi, don’t think you’re so great just because your family is rich. You’ve never been to the South, so you’ll never know how many wealthy people there are. For example, our group’s chairman and the Hou family of OT Group alone have assets worth over a billion. And how much money does your family have? A hundred million, a few hundred million? Compared to our chairman and the Hou family of OT Group, you’re still quite far behind. Besides, if your family were really rich, you wouldn’t have needed to marry into the Yehenara family as a live-in son-in-law, would you?” Zhang Xuan asked me.

Zhang Xuan is right, I am indeed a son-in-law of the Yehenara family. The reason I became a son-in-law of the Yehenara family is because of a family rule. Since Xi'er is the only daughter of the Ye family, the last princess of the royal family, anyone who wants to marry her, even an Arab prince, must become a son-in-law.

My mother liked Princess Xi'er of the Ye family, so she arranged this marriage for me. My becoming a son-in-law of the Ye family had nothing to do with money; it was purely for the sake of the Ye family's bloodline.

"Shut up? Are you scared off by those rich people? Wang Xi, you might think your family is rich in the North, but it's nothing in the South. As for me, I'm already the vice president of a large corporation. The money I earn myself is completely different from the money your parents give you." Saying this, Zhang Xuan glanced at her Longines watch and immediately said to me, "Wang Xi, I'm rich now. Don't spend your parents' money anymore. I'll take care of you. It's almost eight o'clock. I need to take a shower right away and then go to the cosmetics company in Hong Kong for training. You can stay with me; I'll treat you to dinner after get off work."

"Okay..." I couldn't help but grin awkwardly after hearing Zhang Xuan's words.

Then Zhang Xuan rushed into the bathroom, followed by the sound of running water. After a while, Zhang Xuan said from inside, "Wang Xi, I'm coming out now. Close your eyes."

Knowing Zhang Xuan was about to come out and get dressed, I gently closed my eyes. Zhang Xuan and I hadn't actually done *that* kind of thing, but I had taken advantage of her quite a bit. We'd kissed, touched, and almost reached the very end. But at that time, I was afraid I couldn't take responsibility for Zhang Xuan, so I didn't touch her.

After Zhang Xuan came out and got dressed, she took my hand and we walked out of the hotel. At that moment, I felt as if I had returned to when I was eighteen. Watching the now mature Zhang Xuan hurriedly leading me to the company for training, I couldn't help but feel a warm feeling in my heart.

When I arrived at the cosmetics company, I saw many beautiful women, and I also saw Young Master Hou from last night. The moment Young Master Hou saw me, he immediately glared at me with hostility. However, since this was the company they were visiting, and it was far more powerful than theirs, Young Master Hou didn't immediately throw a tantrum and kick me out. He just stared at me coldly for a while, and seeing that I didn't say anything, he didn't want to cause me any trouble.

When Young Master Hou and Zhang Xuan entered the conference room for their study session, I thought for a moment, took out my phone, and said, "Keep the promise that Young Master Hou signed last night for me. I'll take it to the Hou family to collect the debt later."

"Mr. Wang, that letter of commitment is legally binding. It's locked in a safe now; we can't afford to lose it," the person on the other end of the phone said.

"Okay." After hearing the voice on the other end, I nodded gently and hung up the phone.
