My Arrogant Young Lady

"Uncle, I'll drink with you." After peeling open a crayfish and eating it, I grabbed a bottle of beer and downed it in one gulp.

It's been confirmed. My uncle won't be coming back to the Wang family with us, nor does he want my aunt to come with us. He will marry Zhang Xuan to me. My uncle will figure out how to get Zhang Xuan to come back to the Wang family with me.

The next day, as I was sleeping on Zhang Xuan's sofa, there was a sudden knock on the door. Hearing the knock, my hangover instantly cleared. I opened my eyes and coldly stared at the closed door. Nie Xiaohai also quickly ran out of the study, pulled out a pistol, pointed it at the door, and whispered, "Brother Xi, is it those guys here?"

Those guys, Nie Xiaohai was referring to First and Desert Wolves. We took out five of their members, they're definitely going to seek revenge.

Although we didn't seem to care much about offending the Desert Wolf when we were in Hong Kong, Nie Xiaohai and I both kept it to ourselves.

After all, the Desert Wolves are a group of mercenaries, and if they were to use weapons to ambush us, it would be very troublesome. As long as I'm in the martial world, it means I'll always have endless troubles ahead of me.

We are at the pinnacle of power, figures everyone can see with a glance. We attract too much attention, and some hidden masters are eager to defeat the Wang family and take our place. However, none of them are a match for the Wang family. I must be careful; I might just be caught off guard and suffer a setback.

If Oda Seiji is the raging storm, then the First and his Desert Wolves are the gutter. And what follows the First and the Desert Wolves are the puddles of dirty water that gather in puddles after the rain. They can't touch our royal family, but it's unnecessary to dirty our shoes because of them.

If I ever grew tired of this kind of life, I could only wait until my first son was born. Then I would pass the position of family head to him, letting him become the target of everyone's hatred and attract all sorts of enemies. Now, I finally understand why my father was in such a hurry to pass the position of family head to me. It was because he was tired of this kind of life and no longer wanted to fight with these insignificant subordinates.

"Who's here?" Hearing the knock, Aunt and Zhang Xuan opened their bedroom door. Uncle wasn't home; he must have gotten up earlier than us and gone to the supermarket in the neighborhood.

"Brother Xi. Who's here?" Seeing his aunt and Zhang Xuan come out, Nie Xiaohai quickly put away his pistol.

"Let me see." Pretending to be nonchalant, I walked towards the door. Then I waved my hand at the peephole and looked outside.

As I looked out the door, a bead of sweat trickled down my forehead. I waved my hand near the peephole because I was afraid someone might shoot me in the head through the peephole while I was peering out.

I waved my hand through the peephole, and no one fired a shot outside the door, which meant there was a fifty percent chance that the person standing outside was not our enemy.

Then, I saw who was outside the door, took a deep breath, opened the door, and said, "You scared me to death."

Standing outside the door were the four brothers: Heilong, Bao Shao Ye, Lu Zhicheng, and Runtu. They were my father's helpers, and surprisingly, even An Yao had come. Also present was the new head of the Wang family, one of the four great families in the country. The Oda Seiji incident was a major reshuffle; after our defeat of Oda Seiji, many families and sects' younger generations inherited their respective powers.

Besides the head of the Wang family, one of the four major families in the country, there was also Wang Xiaojiu from the Wang family, as well as some of their subordinates. Upon seeing me, Wang Kun, the head of the Wang family, hugged me tightly. Then, he said to me warmly, "Brother Xi, you've come to our Wang family's territory, why didn't you greet us? If people find out that our Wang family didn't treat you well, it will be difficult for us in the martial arts world."

"Brother Xi." Not only was Wang Kun enthusiastic towards me, but Wang Xiaojiu looked at me with the same enthusiasm. As a girl who was about to marry into my Wang family, Wang Xiaojiu only glanced at me shyly before her face turned red.

Standing behind Wang Kun, Young Master Bao burst into laughter upon seeing Zhang Xuan. Then, pointing at Zhang Xuan, he walked over, laughing, and hugged her, saying, "Zhang Xuan, it's been so long!"

"Young Master Bao." They were high school classmates, so Zhang Xuan and Young Master Bao were acquaintances.

"Damn it, Runtu, Lao Lu, look! Nie Xiaohai is here again, trying to steal the spotlight. We can't let him monopolize Brother Xi's role. We want to be with Brother Xi too!" Heilong shouted as soon as he saw Nie Xiaohai.

"I didn't steal the spotlight, I just came to hang out with Brother Xi, okay..." Nie Xiaohai looked quite helpless after hearing Heilong's words.

"Enough talk. Let's go to our Wang Mansion first. The entire upper class of Mingzhu City has been notified to host a banquet tonight to welcome Brother Xi. In addition, many nobles, big bosses, and sect leaders from Jiangnan are on their way, all waiting to catch a glimpse of Brother Xi." After saying that, Wang Kun pulled me outside.

Wang Kun's martial arts skills were quite good; he was a top-tier master at the divine level. He hadn't participated in the previous martial arts tournament because he had been kidnapped by Qinglong and Heiwa Tendou and taken to Oda Seiji's overseas base.

As for the relationship between Wang Kun and Wang Xiaojiu, they are siblings born to the same parents. He doted on his younger sister. When Oda Seiji's army attacked, he risked his life to send Wang Xiaojiu out of the Wang family, even at the cost of his own capture.

The world is now quiet, in a period of peace. And these noble children, with nothing to do, have resumed their old life of singing and dancing.

Wang Kun's hands were very large. Holding his hand felt strong and substantial. Then I couldn't help but glance back at Zhang Xuan and my aunt, who both looked completely bewildered.

I never expected Wang Kun to suddenly come looking for me, and to put on such a grand show of hospitality. I felt my plan was about to fail. I couldn't help but show a helpless expression and said, "Brother Wang, don't worry, can you let me put on my shoes?"

"Haha, I'm so happy. I forgot to put your shoes on." Wang Kun laughed immediately and let me put my shoes on.

While I was putting on my shoes, Zhang Xuan and my aunt still looked completely bewildered. Wang Kun, on the other hand, just watched me with a beaming smile, practically wanting to kneel down and help me put on my shoes.

"Brother Xi, please!" As soon as the shoes were brought out, Wang Kun immediately placed his hand on my lower back and ushered me out of Zhang Xuan's house. Then, Young Master Bao and Black Dragon also put their arms around Nie Xiaohai, complaining all the way that Nie Xiaohai was too good at stealing the spotlight.

"You're Xi-ge's friends, right? You should come along too." Wang Xiaojiu and Zhang Xuan looked each other up and down for a while. When Wang Xiaojiu saw that Zhang Xuan was still wearing last year's designer clothes, a hint of pride appeared on his face.

"Zhang Xuan, who are these people?" After being enthusiastically led outside by the Wang family's men, Auntie thought for a moment and asked Zhang Xuan in a low voice.

"I don't know, but she seems to be very rich. That pretty girl was wearing a dress that just came out last month. That dress isn't even sold in our country yet. It's not something that money can buy just because someone is rich," Zhang Xuan said, frowning.

"Wang Xi, how can he have such wealthy friends? What were they talking about just now? They invited all the high society people in Mingzhu City to welcome him?" Aunt asked in confusion.

"Let's see what's going on..." Zhang Xuan looked very puzzled after hearing her aunt's words.

But after she and her aunt entered the elevator, they seemed even more confused. Normally, their elevator should have gone down, but the Wang family had pressed the button for the top floor, leading them up.

As the elevator numbers grew larger and larger, and they ascended to higher and higher floors, Zhang Xuan and her aunt stepped out of the elevator and saw that the Wang family had already opened the rooftop door and led them onto the rooftop.

"Wait, what's going on? Aren't we going to take a car? How did we end up on the rooftop?" Seeing us all walk onto the rooftop, my aunt stood at the entrance, too afraid to go in.

"Hello, madam. Because this is a traffic jam time in Mingzhu City, our head of the family felt that Prince Xi dislikes traffic jams, so he sent the family's helicopter to pick him up."

When Zhang Xuan and her aunt stepped onto the rooftop, their eyes widened in astonishment. Before them stood a huge, magnificent helicopter. And on four other high-rise buildings nearby, four similarly enormous and magnificent helicopters were parked.

After the first helicopter picked me, Wang Kun, Wang Xiaojiu, An Yao, and me up, another helicopter immediately flew over and landed in front of them.

"Ladies, please!"

"..." Before she could even board the helicopter, her legs gave way and she collapsed to the ground. Then, covered in dust, she was helped onto the helicopter...

Chapter 410 The Wang Family's Banquet

"You good-for-nothing! All you do is spend money and chase girls. Now you've gotten even bolder, spending sixty million to hire mercenaries to kill someone. Luckily, those six mercenaries only swindled your money; they didn't kill anyone. If someone had died, even if your old man is rich, I couldn't protect you. You better behave yourself for a while. If you dare cause me any more trouble, I'll personally cripple you and pretend I never had you!" In the Hou family compound, a middle-aged man pointed at a handsome young man and cursed him. After cursing, the middle-aged man glared at him fiercely and left.

"Mr. Hou, please don't be angry. Young Master Hou is just being immature; he's still young," the Hou family's butler said, accompanying Mr. Hou out of the villa.

"Twenty-seven or twenty-eight years old and still young? Damn it, I was already making money selling face powder when I was fourteen, and now look what happened to him. I spent so much money sending him abroad to study, and he's still nothing. He even hired mercenaries to kill people, he's got some nerve. Who is that woman my son has his eye on? Why is she so arrogant?" The middle-aged man asked his butler as he walked into a Bentley.

"She's the vice president of LL Group. Her name is Zhang Xuan. She's very beautiful and talented. However, she doesn't have any connections and isn't qualified to marry into our Hou family," the butler said.

“Call Mr. Liu of LL Group and fire Zhang Xuan. She’s shameless. How dare she harm my son. I’m so rich, and I only have one son. Luckily, my son is alright, otherwise I would have crushed Zhang Xuan so badly she would never recover,” the middle-aged man said.

"Hehe..." Upon hearing the middle-aged man's words, the butler revealed a wicked smile.

"Damn it!" After seeing his father leave, Young Master Hou thought for a moment and then went into the garage and drove out his Ferrari.

He never imagined that the Hong Kong Organized Crime and Triad Bureau (OCTB) would find out about his hiring of those six top-tier martial arts experts. If it weren't for the Hou family's wealth and ability to hire a top-notch lawyer to bail him out, he might still be locked up in Hong Kong right now. Damn it, it's all Zhang Xuan and that kid's fault that he's in this situation; he'll never let them get away with this.

Just then, Hou Gongzi's phone rang. "Little Hou, are you here yet? The party starts in two hours, and Wang Xi, the heir of the Wang family, will be arriving soon. Don't say your second brother isn't giving you a chance. If you can get to know the heir of the Wang family, you'll rise to great heights from now on. If you don't come, don't blame your second brother for being mean to you."

"Yes, I'll definitely come. How could I not come to such an important occasion? Second brother, you're so good to me. I must find a way to curry favor with the heir of the Wang family. The overseas Wang family is one of the most powerful forces in the world. Even just meeting him once would be something I can brag about for the rest of my life. Second brother, thank you, you're so good to me..."

The person who called Young Master Hou was the second young master of the Wang family, one of the four major families in the country. Although the Wang family is large and prosperous with many children, and this second young master is arrogant and fond of a life of pleasure, being able to get close to the second young master of the Wang family is enough for Young Master Hou to act with impunity in Mingzhu City.

Moreover, it's said that the Wang family has even established a kinship ties with Prince Wang Xi. They plan to marry their most outstanding daughter, Wang Xiaojiu, to him. Being related to an overseas Wang family is a dream come true for many top families.

Tonight, I must latch onto Prince Wang Xi's coattails.

Thinking of this, Young Master Hou sped up. His father had already gone to the party, and he couldn't arrive too late.

“Brother Wang, if you consider me a friend, a simple bowl of beef noodles would have sufficed. There was no need for such a grand affair. You've gone too far…”

Having arrived at the Prince's Mansion, I felt utterly helpless. I was already very familiar with it. When Oda Seiji attacked, the Qinglong faction seized the mansion because it was large enough to serve as their residence in Pearl City. Later, I took over Qinglong's position and lived in the mansion for a while. I was even assassinated by Wang Xiaojiu, which gave the four major families the opportunity to propose marriage to my Wang family.

My main purpose in coming to Mingzhu City this time is to pick up Zhang Xuan. If the First and Desert Wolves don't cause me any trouble, I'll just go home.

Unexpectedly, An Yao and Young Master Bao's arrival immediately attracted Wang Kun's attention. Not only did he bring people to pick me up, but he also flew over in a helicopter to do so.

"Young Master. No, no, no, you should call me brother-in-law now." Being able to establish a kinship with me made Wang Kun extremely proud. The Long family's previous marriage of Long Yun to me had always been the envy of the other three major families. Now, his Wang family was no less powerful than the Long family.

He laughed and handed me a cigar, saying, "Brother-in-law, back in the day, Long Yuan used his family's luxury cruise ship to take you on a sea voyage. Now I've brought my family's helicopter to pick you up and bring you to our Wang family mansion. In terms of pomp and etiquette, our Wang family is no less impressive than the Long family, is it?"

In the near future, I will marry the most outstanding girl from one of the four great families. Our Wang family will become related to them, and the four great families will also have some kinship ties. However, they are still secretly vying for power, none willing to concede to the other. Fortunately, the upstairs space at Zhang Xuan's house isn't large, otherwise I reckon Wang Kun might have sent a plane to pick me up.

My attempt to maintain a normal, ordinary image in front of Zhang Xuan and my aunt is likely to be exposed; I can't hide it anymore. If my aunt finds out that the Wang family is wealthy, she'll definitely try to extort a hefty sum from me.

Fine, let her extort me as much as she wants.

With a sigh, I lit a cigar and said with a smile, "In terms of pomp and etiquette, our Wang family certainly does a good job."

"Of course, you are not only the head of the Wang family now, but also the current leader of the martial arts alliance. Your status cannot be treated like an ordinary person. The leaders of various major forces will also be here soon. They are all eager to see your prowess. Brother-in-law, please help me out and make a good impression, okay?" Wang Kun pleaded with me.

"Okay, fine." Knowing that Wang Kun cares about his pride, I gave him a disgruntled look.

While we were talking, the entire Wang family arrived. The Wang family was indeed a large clan; the patriarch had many wives and children, and a great many distant relatives. Although the Wang mansion's living room was spacious, hundreds of family members had gathered there. Everyone seemed unusually friendly towards me. Some of the older women even secretly touched my hand or clothes, wanting to boast about it to the other wealthy ladies.

"Brother Xi, I've heard so much about you. I know quite a few models and second- and third-tier celebrities in Mingzhu City. I even recognize some A-list stars. For example, the currently most popular Shan Shan. She's attending a dance later. How about I take you to see the characters she's on TV? We can arrange a dinner, have some drinks, and chat together?" A handsome young man grabbed my hand and said enthusiastically.

"Second Brother, you mustn't be rude to the Martial Arts Alliance Leader. Do you think you can just touch the body of our dignified Martial Arts Alliance Leader as you please?" Seeing the young man trying his best to curry favor with me, Wang Kun immediately became displeased.

"Fifth Brother, I was just too excited. I was just too excited." The young man wasn't angry; he just smiled and said.

"Hehe, brother-in-law, this man is my second brother, the second young master of our Wang family. Please forgive him for offending you." Wang Kun's expression softened considerably, and he warmly took my hand and said to me.

"You're Wang Ershao?" I smiled and looked at the handsome young man after hearing Wang Kun's words.

"Yes, I am Wang Ershao. Young Master, have you heard of me?" Wang Ershao's expression changed.

"I've heard of you. You're not bad," I said, smiling at Young Master Wang.

"Really?" Upon hearing my words, Young Master Wang was overjoyed. He then became quite smug. Meanwhile, the other children of the Wang family around us looked at Young Master Wang with undisguised envy.

Time flew by, and two hours later, the Wang family's long convoy of cars quickly set off. The cars pulled up one after another in front of the hotel, and the drivers took them to the underground parking lot. I was surrounded by the Wang family members; Young Master Bao and Hei Long couldn't even squeeze in front of me. An Yao was also stuck beside Zhang Xuan and her daughter, who were dressed in their finest attire and accompanied by members of the Wang family.

When we entered the banquet hall, it was already filled with many of Mingzhu City's elite. The Wang family surrounded me, and Wang Kun introduced me to one prominent figure after another from Mingzhu City. Upon seeing me, they were all visibly excited, warmly shaking my hand and reluctant to let go. Several beautiful women also seemed to have fallen for me. The scene was similar to what I had experienced in the provincial capital, only on a larger scale, with even more wealthy people present.

I was surrounded by them and walked around for a while, feeling a bit tired. I made an excuse to shake off most of the Wang family members and hid in the bathroom. While I was washing my face, Wang Kun stayed by my side the whole time. Bao Shao and the others, who had finally found an opportunity to get close to me, also quickly came to my side.

Seeing that I was a little tired, Wang Kun was secretly touched. My current status was supposed to be a good thing, but now I felt like an animal in a zoo, scrutinized by everyone who saw me. Seeing that I was enduring my fatigue to save face for Wang Kun, he couldn't bear it. "Good brother-in-law," he said, "you are truly kind-hearted. Why don't we stay a little longer and then go back to the Wang family home? We can have a family gathering, so you don't have to work so hard."

"Okay." I nodded helplessly.

Knowing that I was uncomfortable being surrounded by too many people, Wang Kun dispersed most of the Wang family members, leaving only me, Wang Kun, Nie Xiaohai, and Young Master Bao.

Then, as I came out of the restroom, I saw Zhang Xuan still looking confused, so I patted my face and walked towards her.

However, just as I was walking towards Zhang Xuan, someone suddenly grabbed me by the back of my collar. Then they yelled, "Brother Wang, I saw that arrogant brat! Come quick, help me get revenge!"

Chapter 411 Pay Back the Money

Since most of the people present were ordinary citizens, I wasn't on guard at all. Nie Xiaohai and the others were the same; seeing only ordinary people walking around, they weren't wary either. Now, I was suddenly pulled by the back of my collar, completely unexpectedly. The person pulled hard; I almost fell over.

Wang Kun and Nie Xiaohai hadn't expected anyone to ambush me, and their expressions changed drastically. They all turned to look at the person who had attacked me.

Young Master Hou.

When Wang Kun turned to look at Young Master Hou, his face was incredibly grim. Young Master Hou recognized Wang Kun, the head of the Wang family. He had always idolized Wang Kun and desperately wanted to curry favor with him and establish a connection. However, Wang Kun was an upright man, always prioritizing matters of the martial world and important business affairs, and he and Young Master Hou were not on the same wavelength, so Young Master Hou had no opportunity to associate with him.

Now, Young Master Hou saw Wang Kun's grim expression. His previously smug look instantly turned serious.

"Fifth, Fifth Brother... what's wrong?" Seeing the grim face of this influential figure in Mingzhu City, Young Master Hou felt his throat go dry.

"What's going on?" At this moment, many people noticed what was happening here. They saw Young Master Hou grabbing my collar and approached us with grim expressions.

By this time, many important figures in Mingzhu City recognized me. Even the father of Young Master Hou had just met me. Only Young Master Hou didn't recognize me, and he seemed a little nervous as more and more people approached us.

However, this young master Hou still felt he held a good position in Mingzhu City, displaying a somewhat narrow-minded perspective. He believed that the most powerful person in Mingzhu City was Wang Kun, the head of the Wang family. And today, there was an even more important figure present: Wang Xi, the heir of the Wang family. Wang Xi was not someone ordinary people could easily meet. As long as he didn't offend Wang Xi or Wang Kun, and with the second young master of the Wang family backing him up, everything would be fine.
