My Arrogant Young Lady

Chapter 157 Recapturing Lost Territory

At South City No. 2 Middle School, Lu Zhicheng, Young Master Bao, and the Thirteen Eagles brothers, along with I, had been waiting for a long time. Seeing a large group of young men approaching, Young Master Bao immediately threw away his cigarette and said, "Brother Xi, they're here!"

"Yes." I nodded gently.

Soon, a group of thugs wearing uniforms with the words "No. 2 Middle School" on them approached from the opposite direction. Looking at us, the leader, a blond-haired man, said, "Young Master Bao, No. 2 Middle School and your No. 1 Middle School have always kept to ourselves. The day before yesterday, Bai Yi Bing Xin from No. 13 Middle School even gave us a heads-up, telling us to respect you as the leader of No. 13 Middle School from now on. We all know Bai Yi Bing Xin's strength. Since he says you're the boss of our thirteen schools, we'll listen. But you're here again today, what brings you here?"

"Yellow Hair, where's your boss?" Young Master Bao laughed.

“My eldest son went to a gathering of sixty-five schools yesterday and hasn’t come back yet,” the blond man said.

"Oh. Then we don't need to wait for him to come back. From now on, you'll be the top student at No. 2 Middle School," Young Master Bao said with a smile.

"What? You want me to betray my brother?!" the blond man exclaimed in surprise.

Last night at the banquet, 63 of the leaders from 65 schools in the provincial capital were arrested. Wang You and Liuli captured them. If we make a small request, they'll easily deal with us. To avoid being swallowed up by them, we've decided to take the initiative and reclaim those schools. We're splitting into three groups: An Yao, Xi'er, and I will each lead one, and each of us will bring some underlings from Young Master Bao. We'll each go and fight for those 63 lost schools.

Wang You is a rule-abiding person; even if we take back all sixty-three schools, he won't come out of the schools to deal with us. Therefore, daytime becomes the most effective time for our counterattack.

After a brief exchange with the blond-haired man, we learned that their leader hadn't been released yet. The leader who hadn't been released probably hadn't yet submitted to Wang You and Liuli and agreed to work for us. We had two strategies for dealing with these leaders: First, for those who surrendered, we would defeat them and support their underlings to become our allies. Second, for those who hadn't surrendered, we would win over their underlings and support them to become our allies.

"Hey Huang Mao, how's it going? We're going to make you the new big brother of No. 2 Middle School. From now on, you're all one of us," Young Master Bao said with a smile.

"Heh, you want me to betray my brother? That's impossible!" the blond-haired man said coldly.

"How about this?" With a smile, Young Master Bao tossed him two bundles of banknotes.

"This..." Looking at the two bundles of red banknotes in his hand, Huang Mao hesitated.

"What's the point of being someone's lackey? It's better to be the boss yourself, that's more prestigious and you can make money too. This money is a small gift from your brother Xi. As long as you decide to make yourself king and support your brother Xi from now on, you'll help out in fights. The market price is 100 yuan per truckload, but we'll give you 200! Damn, you're going to be a hoodlum after graduation anyway. You might as well make some money now so you can buy a car after graduation," said Young Master Bao.

"This..." After hearing Young Master Bao's words, the blond-haired man hesitated even more.

"It's settled then. Follow us, and we promise you won't be treated badly." He patted the blond-haired man on the shoulder. Young Master Bao and his men left, laughing heartily.

On the way to the next school, Lu Zhicheng thought for a moment and asked, "Young Master Bao, that blond guy won't take our money and not do the job, will he?"

"Don't worry, as long as he takes the money, he'll do his job for us. Although we thugs have a bad reputation, we still have to be honest to some extent. We're not afraid of them breaking their promises. If they dare to take the money and not do the job, we'll kill them! Hehe, Wang You and Liuli captured their boss, so we'll just put up another one. We'll make their boss a mere shell. An Yao's plan is really good." Young Master Bao laughed.

"I heard the leader of No. 3 Middle School has been released?" I thought for a moment and said.

"Then just kill him!" Young Master Bao sneered.

We quickly arrived at the next school in the car. Standing at the school gate, Young Master Bao waved to a student who looked like a thug and said, "Come here, go tell your boss that Young Master Bao is here, and tell him to come out and see me."

"Oh." Realizing we weren't good people, the student had heard of Young Master Bao. He nodded and obediently went into the campus to find their leader.

"Young Master Bao, I'm sorry, my boss said he can't see you." After a while, the thug ran over and said.

"What? Climb over the wall and kill them!" Young Master Bao was furious upon hearing the thug's words.

With one kick, we pinned the eldest boy from No. 3 Middle School to the far end of the restroom. Then, Young Master Bao stepped on the boy's body and said coldly, "Dinosaur. What do you mean? We came to see you, and you don't even give us face?"

"Young Master Bao, don't think I don't know what you're thinking. You want me to help you deal with Wang You and Liu Li from Zhongcheng No. 1 Middle School! Let me tell you, we surrendered yesterday and promised Wang You and Liu Li that we would work for them from now on. They have money, they have people. They also have the sons of the four great families. You are no match for them. You should admit defeat!" the dinosaur roared.

"Hehe, so you mean... you're afraid of them but not of us?" Young Master Bao asked.

"..." A small battle had just taken place, and I'm afraid that group of ordinary thugs were no match for me, Young Master Bao, and Lu Zhicheng. Thinking about how the three of us had just taken down their entire group, the dinosaur immediately turned its head away and remained silent.

"Dinosaur, don't blame me for not giving you a chance. I'm giving you two choices now. First, betray Wang You and Liuli and work for us. Second, we'll cripple you and install a new big brother to replace you. Think it over carefully, do you want to be the big brother yourself and listen to us, or do you want to be crippled and have your underlings listen to us?" Young Master Bao sneered, taking a baseball bat from one of his underlings and swinging it twice.

"Even if you cripple me, no one will dare to replace me..." the dinosaur thought for a moment and said.

"Brother Xi, Lao Lu, you two go out for a bit. Let me play the villain," Young Master Bao said, turning around to us.

"Don't hit him too hard," I thought for a moment and said to Young Master Bao.

"Okay. You guys should leave now." Young Master Bao waved his hand impatiently at us.

This young master Bao, he really is a born scoundrel. The moment you give him a little power, he bares his wolfish fangs. He chased us out of the restroom, and after a while, young master Bao came out with his men. Looking at his calm expression, Lu Zhicheng asked in a low voice, "Finished?"

"Haha, he really is a fence-sitter. He can surrender to Wang You and Liuli, and he can surrender to us too. This guy is afraid of physical pain, and he surrendered before I even made a move. An Yao's plan is really good. Let's take these big brothers back to our camp, and when Wang You and Liuli try to take them back, they'll be thrown into chaos. Let's go, let's head to the next school!" Young Master Bao casually lit a cigarette and led his men, Lu Zhicheng, and me out of the school.

On the other side, a thug coughed up a mouthful of blood. Looking at the four fierce-looking hall masters, Mount Everest, and the icy-cold An Yao, the thug's expression immediately became deflated. "I surrender..."

“I surrender…” A thug lay down in front of Xi’er and Chunxia Qiudong. He was about to get up when he glanced at the huge table in Dong’er’s hand. His eyes immediately turned to fear.

“I surrender…” A thug flew out of a classroom, looked at us who came out with a helpless expression.

"I surrender!" The thug grinned as he took the money we handed him.

After a busy day, our three groups returned to school to meet up in the evening. Seeing everyone's good complexion, we knew that everyone had had a successful day.

Although our provincial capital is large, there are few monsters like Heilong and Runtu. Most are ordinary people, no match for An Yao, Xi'er, and the like. In the blink of an eye, Lu Zhicheng, Young Master Bao, and I have also become stronger. Except for Zhongcheng No.1 Middle School, where Wang You and Liuli are located, and Beicheng No.13 Middle School, which is full of troublemakers, we have basically taken over all the schools.

"If Wang You and Liuli manage to snatch them back tonight, then we'll go and snatch them back again tomorrow." An Yao laughed, sticking out her tongue like a little girl, which was rare for her.

"You're so naughty." With eyes full of affection, I ruffled An Yao's long, silvery-white hair.

"Damn, today's been so smooth! How about we go out for a drink to celebrate?" Young Master Bao exclaimed.

"Alright, let's play this game with him and see who can outlast whom!" Di Huo laughed loudly, and couldn't help but swallow when he heard there was wine.

Then, just as we stepped out of the classroom, a voice suddenly came from behind us, "Wang Xi, can I talk to you?"

"Huh?" Hearing that voice, I couldn't help but turn around...

Chapter 158 A Huge Secret

The moonlight was bright and the campus was quiet at night, filling my heart with peace. I strolled through the campus with Shanshan. We were silent. It was clear that Shanshan had a strong liking for me. She liked me a lot, and she would listen to anything I said. But I already had Xier and Zhang Xuan. Even though Xier and Zhang Xuan had accepted each other, I still couldn't promise Shanshan anything.

Accepting Zhang Xuan's existence has already caused Xi'er a lot of grievances. If I were to become ambiguous with another girl so quickly, I think Xi'er would be silently heartbroken.

"Wang Xi, your friend is amazing. He's a really good person. He treats me much better than the previous guild leader. He's been praising me these past few days. If I go live tonight, I'll have over 100,000 viewers in my stream." Shan Shan couldn't help but say to me.

"Haha, you're a streamer with 100,000 followers now! Congratulations! As far as I know, the biggest streamers on XX platform, A Ping, Tian Zuo, and Xiao Jian, only had around 100,000 followers when they started streaming. That's impressive, you have just as many followers as them. If you keep going like this, earning tens of millions a year won't be a problem for you," I said.

"Hehe, isn't this all your doing?" Shanshan gave me a reproachful look and laughed.

"No, no, no, it still means you're capable. You're beautiful and talented. If you weren't capable, no matter how much a nice person flatters you, it wouldn't make a difference," I said with a smile.

"What's the use of being pretty if no one's pursuing me?" Shan Shan said dejectedly.

"Impossible, right?" I asked.

“There are some people, but they’re not human.” Thinking of the nouveau riche who had humiliated her before, Shan Shan bit her lip.

"That's great, keep up the good work. I heard that Little Good Guy gave you 20 million just for signing the contract. You'll surpass me in just one year of streaming. Little tycoon, remember to treat me to dinner when you make money." I said, ruffling Shan Shan's long hair.

"Yes, I'll definitely treat you to a big meal, and I also have a small gift to give you..."

"Shanshan, it's getting late, your live stream is almost over. You should head back now, I have something to do and I'm leaving. Now that you're a big star, remember to have Xiaohaoren assign you two bodyguards. I'm off, good luck!" I glanced at my watch and quickly walked to my car.

"Haven't you watched my live stream these past two days?" Shanshan asked from behind me.

"I've been watching it for the past two days. Keep it up!"

Half an hour had passed since Shanshan and I started walking around. I was worried Xier and Anyao would get impatient, so I quickly drove off. Shanshan is a very pretty girl with a great personality; she's very likable. But I didn't want to let Xier and Zhang Xuan down, so I didn't dare interact with her much more. In my heart, I'd still consider her a good friend. However, compared to Shanshan, I prefer playing with the chubby girl in my class.

Because Fatty is ugly. Even if we mess around a lot, no one will gossip about us. A while ago, Xi'er got injured, and I heard the Empress Dowager is already unhappy. Now Xi'er has agreed to let me take a concubine, and I don't know what the Empress Dowager's intentions are. I should try to keep my distance from other girls, otherwise I'll be in trouble if the Empress Dowager gets angry.

After all, the Empress Dowager is my future mother-in-law.

Soon, I drove to the restaurant we had agreed upon. Everyone had already ordered and was just waiting for me to start eating. Seeing everyone waiting for me made me feel a little guilty. I smiled and said to them, "Why don't you guys eat first? I just need a little wine."

"You are the esteemed heir, the one with the highest status here. Our future head of the Wang family hasn't arrived yet, how dare we girls of lowly status eat here?" Xia'er's tone was full of sourness, and her expression towards me was sarcastic.

"Xia'er, why are you mocking me?" I exclaimed in surprise.

"No, no, Xia'er is just a servant girl. How could Xia'er dare to mock you? What if Xia'er marries you with the young lady in the future, and you whip me..." Xia'er continued sourly.

"You're sick!" I glared at Xia'er and stopped arguing with her.

“Brother, if you really want to take a concubine, you can do so after you and Xi’er get married. But for now, please keep your distance from other girls. After all, you and Xi’er are not married yet, and Xi’er is not your legal wife. If someone affects Xi’er’s status in the Wang family, the Empress Dowager may be unhappy.” An Yao whispered a reminder to me.

"Yes, Your Highness, although you hold a noble position, we still have to give the Ye family some face. The Ye family's Empress Dowager is even more terrifying than a tigress," Lightning said with a grin.

"Lightning, what did you say?!" Upon hearing Lightning's words, Chun'er immediately flew into a rage.

"Well, isn't your Empress Dowager a tigress?" Lightning immediately squinted.

"You're asking for it!" Xia'er retorted angrily.

"Ha, can't I even speak the truth? Don't think you're so great just because you're royalty. This isn't a feudal society anymore. In terms of power, our Wang family is the most powerful family!" Lightning scoffed.

"Lightning, aren't you going a bit too far with what you're saying?" Even the usually good-natured Qiu'er was a little unhappy after hearing Lightning's words.

We're all from super-powerful families. The four hall masters and the four seasons often bicker. Even Ye Wuji, who's over forty, is quite unconvinced when he sees me, subtly implying that our Wang family isn't as prestigious as their Ye family. Seeing that they were about to come to blows, Lu Zhicheng quickly intervened, "We're practically family now, what are you arguing about? We've won a great victory today, let's have a drink and celebrate."

"That's right, if it doesn't work, let's have a drinking contest and get one person drunk. Why are we arguing among ourselves? It'll only make us a laughingstock to outsiders," Young Master Bao quickly added.

"Brother, look what you've done!" An Yao glared at me fiercely.

I never expected to be burdened with this mess again. I thought to myself, "What does this have to do with me?" But then I noticed everyone was glancing at me furtively. I quickly explained, "Shanshan and I really have nothing going on. We're just ordinary friends. Xiaohao is helping us make money, so I talked to Shanshan a few more times. Only Zhang Xuan... I can't let go of her. I really can't possibly like another girl. I already have such a beautiful fiancée like Xi'er, who else could I possibly be interested in?"

Hearing my words, Xi'er's delicate face flushed slightly. Xia'er, on the other hand, glared at me fiercely and said, "I hope you don't become a pushover like me."

"Don't worry, I've already tasted the joys of eating, drinking, and having fun. How could I possibly be a pushover? I have strong self-control. Don't overthink it," I said.

"So, what did you two do that night when you stayed at the hotel with Zhang Xuan?" Dong'er asked me.

"..." I was stunned when I heard Dong'er's words.

"Heh. Don't think we don't know what you do every day. This entire provincial capital is full of the Ye family's spies," Xia'er said coldly.

“Brother, you’d better be careful. The Empress Dowager has started to inquire about your affairs recently,” An Yao said.

"Okay. I understand..." Thinking about that night I spent with Zhang Xuan, I felt a little guilty.

Soon, things became harmonious on our side. Just as Lu Zhicheng said, we were practically family; there were no grudges left overnight. Despite the rivalry between the four hall masters and the seasons of spring, summer, autumn, and winter, they were still very close friends in private.

After a few bites of food, we started drinking. Thinking back to when Wang Huan was still around, we realize how happy we are now.

On the other side, a group of young people were standing in a factory waiting for something. Soon, cars drove in from outside, and as soon as they stopped, a large group of young people ran over and unloaded the boxes from the cars.

"Boss, your order has arrived." A middle-aged man grinned wickedly, his expression extremely obsequious.

"Yes, open these boxes." The boy's eyes were cold, but he had a smile on his face.

With a bang, the boxes opened one by one, and through the chaff, rows of dark weapons were revealed. Looking at the weapons, the middle-aged man grinned obsequiously and said, "Boss, your martial arts are already the best in the world, these weapons seem useless to you, don't they?"

"Hehe, I have other uses for it." The boy smiled.

"Brother, Big Brother and Second Sister have taken those sixty-three schools back. Do you want Liuli to help you take them back?" a simple and lovely girl suddenly asked.

"Not urgent……"
