My Arrogant Young Lady

"Zhang Xuan, I swear to you. From now on, if I dare to touch you even once, may I be struck by lightning. I swear, I will cherish you and love you dearly from now on, and treat you like my precious treasure. In this life, I will only love you, and I will never love anyone else but you." I said earnestly, holding up three fingers.

"What about Xi'er?" Zhang Xuan asked me.

“Xi’er…” I hesitated.

"Fine, I won't make things difficult for you. Just pretend I've fallen for a scumbag. Let's go back and study hard. When you, Anyao, and Xier return to China, can you take me with you?" Zhang Xuan asked me.

“Of course, I will definitely bring you with me; you are my wife,” I said.

"I believe you!" Zhang Xuan nodded, then glared at me with a hint of annoyance.

As Zhang Xuan and I left the hotel, I couldn't help but feel secretly delighted. That kind guy was not only a shrewd investor, but also a Casanova. It seemed he had a knack for dealing with every type of girl. I listened to him and gave Zhang Xuan a good beating, and now she's obediently following my lead.

I've already won over Zhang Xuan; now all that's left is Xi'er. Although Xi'er agreed to me taking a concubine, she's definitely unhappy about it. She's just concerned about her image as a virtuous daughter-in-law of the Wang family and doesn't want to be like ordinary girls, jealous and scheming. Once I've won Xi'er over, her resentment should disappear.

Xi'er, she's so beautiful. If I could really have such a beautiful wife, it would be a blessing I, Wang Xi, had accumulated in my past life.

Great, I've finally resolved Zhang Xuan and Xi'er's troubles. Now, I just need to quickly improve my strength, then compete with Wang You and Liu Li. If I defeat them, maybe An Yao can take me home. Dad, Mom, I really miss you both. Mom, it's been over ten years, how are you?

But... are Wang You and Liuli really so easy to defeat? I don't know how much effort it took to defeat Wang Che and Wang Huan. Wang You and Liuli are far more terrifying enemies than Wang Che and Wang Huan; they are many times stronger than them.

Back at school, I looked great. Seeing the constant smile on my face, Young Master Bao gave me a hard shove and said, "What are you doing? We're discussing serious matters here. Don't keep daydreaming! We're facing a formidable enemy now, okay?"

"Oh, you know, I just spaced out," I said quickly.

"Where did you go last night?" An Yao asked coldly, seeing my smug look.

"I didn't go anywhere..." Looking into An Yao's cold eyes, I couldn't help but feel nervous.

"Heh, really? Then why didn't you go home yesterday?" An Yao asked me coldly.

"The young master didn't come home yesterday?" Upon hearing An Yao's words, the four maids beside Xi'er immediately became angry.

"So what if he didn't go home? Maybe he went to an internet cafe to play games, or maybe he went for a massage. My brother Xi is a dignified prince, how dare you stare at him? Hurry up and get down to business, I have to go to Xiaohaoren Company in a bit." Young Master Bao shouted arrogantly.

"You've hooked up with that good guy again?" I asked Bao Shao in surprise.

“Hehe, didn’t Little Good Guy come to your uncle’s house a few days ago? We exchanged phone numbers. He likes me a lot, so he recognized me as his godbrother. He said he’d treat me to lunch and asked me to come to his company later. But Little Good Guy is a little afraid of you, so he didn’t let me come to you.” Young Master Bao quickly explained to me.

"Hehe. You're quite the social butterfly. If you want, ask Xiao Haoren to give this to him later. It's an agreement that Shanshan signed." I took a piece of paper out of my pocket and said.

"OK!" Young Master Bao quickly put the paper away.

After Young Master Bao changed the subject, An Yao didn't ask me where I went yesterday. She just gave me a cold look and said, "Yesterday we went to see Bai Yi Bing Xin. Our talks with Bai Yi Bing Xin went very smoothly. Bai Yi Bing Xin has agreed to unite with us and his men. If we attack Wang You and Liu Li, they will immediately gather troops to cooperate with us. And if Wang You and Liu Li attack us, they will come to our aid immediately."

"That's great!" I said with delight after hearing An Yao's words.

“That’s true. But yesterday, Wang You and Liuli also took over thirteen schools in the central city. We were able to take over thirteen schools in the southern city so easily because you defeated Baiyi Bingxin before, and he secretly found out your background. But Wang You and Liuli have been hiding their identities. They took over the thirteen schools in the central city by force.” An Yao said coldly.

"Overnight, Wang You and Liuli actually took over thirteen schools in Zhongcheng by force?" I was shocked.

“Yes, and their forces are stronger than ours. Because Zhongcheng is located in the middle of the provincial capital, the thirteen schools there have better facilities than ours. And among these thirteen schools, there are many extraordinary individuals and prodigies. So far, we, Wang You, and Liuli have each secured thirteen schools, leaving thirty-nine schools in Dongcheng, Xicheng, and Beicheng. Their forces are stronger than ours, and their cohesion is also stronger. We still need to consolidate our power, while they can make their move on other schools tonight,” An Yao said.

"So, according to you, Wang You and Liuli will take over the other schools first, and then surround us?" I asked.

"Not necessarily. If we take some risks and attack other schools tonight, we might be able to take down another thirteen schools. There's a vocational high school in Beicheng that's known as the most chaotic school in the province; its students are all scum abandoned by other schools. There are even more skilled fighters there, and the students are full of thuggishness. It won't be easy for Wang You and Liuli to take that school. If we take down another thirteen schools today, we can create a three-way power struggle, temporarily stalemate with Wang You and Liuli. But this is just my hope; I'm just afraid that Wang You and Liuli will use another tactic against us," An Yao said.

"What kind of methods?" I asked.

"Tonight, we'll swallow all the schools in one go," An Yao said coldly.

"Swallow all the schools in one go? What makes him think he can do that?" Young Master Bao roared.

"Just because they're called Wang You and Liuli!" A haughty voice suddenly came from behind us.

"Who are you?" He suddenly turned around and glared at him fiercely.

“You don’t know me, but Xi’er does.” A young man, holding a card and accompanied by several henchmen, walked proudly toward us.

"Ma Wenwu, the heir of the Ma family, one of the four major families in the provincial capital?" Chun'er, standing next to Xi'er, frowned slightly.

“That’s right. I am Ma Wenwu, the heir of one of the four great families, a man of both literary and martial talents.” With a smile, Ma Wenwu handed an invitation to Young Master Bao and said, “Young Master Bao, our boss invites you. Tonight at nine o’clock, at the Hilton Hotel in Zhongcheng. See you there.”

"Damn, just because you're rich and handsome doesn't mean you can do whatever you want. You think I'll go just because you tell me to?" Young Master Bao said coldly, looking at the invitation in his hand.

“Sending you an invitation is a favor. You should know that only the school's top dog is qualified to receive our invitations. There will be a very interesting program tonight; whether you go or not is up to you.” With an air of arrogance, Ma Wenwu left with his henchmen.

"Damn, what he said is actually quite pleasing to the ear. Although he's arrogant, what he said makes me very happy..." Looking at the post in his hand, Young Master Bao couldn't stop smiling.

"Heh, your happiness means you've fallen for his trap," An Yao sneered.

"You fell for their trap?" Young Master Bao blinked.

“Young Master Bao, why should they be the ones to certify whether you’re the school’s top dog? Since you accepted this invitation, it means you’re tacitly acknowledging their dominant position among the sixty-five schools. And if you go, you’re more likely to fall into their trap. If I’m not mistaken, Wang You and Liuli want to lure us to the Hilton Hotel and then devour us all at once,” An Yao said.

“The Hilton Hotel is a foreign-owned hotel. Even if a fight breaks out inside, the police can’t just barge in. They need approval from higher authorities to be authorized to enter and carry out their duties,” Xi’er said after thinking for a moment.

“So, that’s a good spot for Wang You and Liuli to ambush us,” An Yao said.

Upon hearing An Yao's words, Young Master Bao thought for a moment and immediately flew into a rage. He tore the invitation to shreds, threw it on the ground, and said, "An Yao, Xi'er, you're right! What right do they have to certify whether I'm the school's top dog?! I'm not going tonight, lest I get ambushed by them again!"

“No, we want to go.” An Yao gently shook her head.

“Go? Didn’t you say that Wang You and Liu Li are both god-level experts? They’re very strong fighters, and we should stay as far away from them as possible?” Young Master Bao said.

"Heh, never enter the tiger's den..."

Chapter 152 Wang You and Liu Li's Dinner

At 8 PM, the homeroom teacher came to patrol the classroom and was somewhat surprised. Looking at An Yao and me, the teacher said in surprise, "Wang Xi, An Yao, why are you two siblings so enthusiastic today? Aren't day students supposed to not attend evening self-study? You two are usually always missing, why are you attending today?"

"..." After hearing the homeroom teacher's words, I awkwardly scratched my head and remained silent. An Yao, on the other hand, remained aloof, simply staring at the textbook in front of her without uttering a word.

"Sigh, these two freaks. I heard that two kids like this also came to Zhongcheng No. 1 Middle School. I wonder if they're related." Feeling a bit embarrassed by us, the homeroom teacher shook his head and left.

"Damn it. How dare you talk about my sister like that? I'll kill you later!" I muttered under my breath, glancing at the homeroom teacher with red eyes.

Before we knew it, it was 8:30. As soon as the bell rang to signal the end of evening self-study, An Yao and I immediately went outside, joining Xi'er from Class 3, Bao Shao from other classes, and the four hall masters. Walking towards the car parked outside, Bao Shao complained, "Wang You and Liu Li are really something. Why did they have to set a time for dinner, 9 o'clock? Damn it, they've got me stuck in this limbo, unable to do anything. There's nowhere to go outside of school, this whole evening self-study session has been so stifling for me..."

Hearing Young Master Bao's words, An Yao's eyes turned cold. Seeing this look in An Yao's eyes, I whispered, "Little sister, what are you thinking about?"

"I've thought of something, but I don't know if I'm right. Let's go, let's go check out the Hilton Hotel." With that, An Yao got into her Mercedes.

In our little circle, the most capable fighters are Xi'er and An Yao, and the smartest are also Xi'er and An Yao. An Yao, in particular, is meticulous and has always played the role of our strategist.

Although we are not as strong as Wang You and Liuli, with An Yao as our little strategist, if we come up with a good idea to deal with them, we can still put up a fight.

After thinking for a moment, I looked directly at Young Master Bao beside me and said, "Young Master Bao, please get in my car."

"Okay." Young Master Bao nodded and got into my car.

The four cars sped out of the school and headed towards the Midtown Hilton Hotel. Along the way, we overtook each other, and I felt a little excited looking at my companions in the cars next to us.

We quickly parked the car a little distance from the Hilton Hotel. An Yao took out a baseball cap to cover her distinctive long, silver-white hair, and Tian Lei and Di Huo also put on hats. We didn't plan to participate in Wang You and Liu Li's gathering under our true identities. A fierce battle was very likely to take place tonight. If we revealed our identities, Wang You and Liu Li would immediately target us.

As we watched cars park outside the Hilton Hotel and others drive into the underground parking lot, Di Huo whispered to us, "Students these days are so rich. They all have cars even though they're only in high school."

"They're all just trying to show off. If they want to drive, I can drive my dad's too. But it's pointless. Besides, they don't drive any fancy cars. If we parked our cars in front of the Hilton, it would scare them to death!" Young Master Bao said indignantly.

"That's what they say, but having money is still quite useful. It's a money-driven world now, and fighting is a very expensive thing. With money, you can have more brothers. The positions of the leaders of the sixty-five schools in our provincial capital are basically all taken by the rich," Lu Zhicheng said.

"So, are there any bosses who don't have any money?" I thought for a moment and asked.

"No. 13 Middle School in Beicheng is the most chaotic school in our provincial capital. I heard that Heilong's family is very poor," Lu Zhicheng said.

"Black Dragon, has he arrived?" I asked Lu Zhicheng.

“I didn’t see him, so I don’t know if he’s here or not. But as far as I know, Heilong is a very proud person. Wang You and Liuli invited him as the sixty-five school bullies, so he probably won’t come. Even if he does come, he’ll probably just pretend to be someone else’s underling and go in to watch the fun, like we did,” Lu Zhicheng said.

"Do you know him?" I asked.

“I had a fight with him before, and he punched me so hard that I coughed for more than a month.” Lu Zhicheng said with a serious expression.

"Damn. If we see him, we'll help you take him down! You're really pushing your luck..." Young Master Bao lit a cigarette dismissively.

We saw a young master from one of the four great families standing at the hotel entrance, accompanied by several of his underlings. They made it seem like a real event, carefully glancing at the post every time a group of people entered. We immediately spotted Bai Yi Bing Xin leading a large group. Seeing them, we quickly went over. "Bai Yi Bing Xin, lead us in."

"Your Highness, where are your invitations?" Bai Yibingxin asked in surprise.

"We tore it up. We didn't like it, but we still wanted to see some excitement, so we came over," said Young Master Bao.

"Yes, Wang You and Liuli are quite arrogant. What kind of background do they have that makes them so arrogant from the start? But these two are quite mysterious. I sent people to investigate their backgrounds but couldn't find anything," said Baiyi Bingxin.

After listening to Bai Yi Bingxin's words, I thought to myself, "The Yehenara family hasn't been seen for the past month or two. If you've already investigated their background, aren't you even more capable than the Yehenara family? It's only because I was too high-profile at the beginning, revealing a lot about my identity and background. Otherwise, you definitely wouldn't have been able to find out what my background is."

“Take us in,” I said to Bai Yibingxin.

"Yes." Bai Yibingxin nodded gently and led us inside.

As we entered the hall, I overheard one of the underlings say to the heir of one of the four great families, "Boss, we're only missing a few schools to complete the process. No one from North City No. 13 Middle School and South City No. 1 Middle School has yet to come; they probably won't be showing up tonight, right?"

"It's alright, the boss already expected it." The young master sneered proudly.

A young man led us upstairs to the second floor. We quickly entered a large hall. Upon entering, we were immediately taken aback by the densely packed crowd inside.

Holy crap, it's a Western-style buffet dinner!

Long tables had been set up around the perimeter of the hall, laden with various Western-style steaks, fruits, and desserts. Waiters carried wine glasses and moved among the crowd, while melodious piano music drifted up to our left.

If it weren't for the fact that we were surrounded by naive and unruly students, I would have thought I had walked into a high-society dinner party.

“Brother, I saw Wang You.” An Yao suddenly lowered her head.

"Where?" I exclaimed in surprise. I looked around in terror.

"Wang You is the one playing the piano right to our left and slightly in front of us," An Yao whispered.

"What!?" I exclaimed in surprise, looking at the boy playing the piano to my left.

Sure enough, just one glance at him was enough to send a chill down my spine. The young man exuded a subtle air of nobility, revealing his extraordinary nature. His eyes were icy, and within that coldness lay unwavering determination. It was clear that he was a professionally trained individual with an iron will.

Just then, a young man approached him and whispered something in his ear. The boy didn't speak, but simply smiled, playing a beautiful tune, "Vanessa's Smile," with his slender fingers. His fingers moved nimbly, and the melody was cheerful and gentle, soothing to the listener. It was as if whatever was about to happen had nothing to do with him.

If An Yao hadn't recognized him, I would never have dreamed that he was the mastermind behind tonight's events. Like many scoundrels, I would have thought he was just a pianist at the hotel.

"Your Highness, is it pleasant to listen to?" Di Huo asked solemnly.

"It sounds nice." I nodded gently.

"His piano playing must be good, since he's a Grade 10 pianist," Di Huo said coldly.

"He is very talented." I nodded gently.

"His skill at killing is far superior to his piano playing." Di Huo unconsciously reached for his chest.

"What?" My face turned pale upon hearing Di Huo's words.
