Chapter 1497: Two Marriages

As for the Butterfly Family’s current situation, Yang Ming could only sigh with sorrow. The supposedly easy matter of breaking the engagement was about to succeed, but a storm had broken out. Wang Songshan’s sister, Wang Ruoshui, had suddenly appeared.

This was undoubtedly a great thing for Fang Tian; his previous wife had been dead for several years. Now he had reencountered Wang Ruoshui, who would definitely have a positive influence on him. However, for Yang Ming, it had become a headache.

Wang Ruoshui was very stubborn. She didn’t seem to listen to his explanation at all. She wanted to duel with him no matter what. The result seemed to be the same whether he loses or wins.

Yang Ming rubbed his temple which was a little painful. I wonder how Fang Tian, Wang Songshan, and Wang Ruoshui are interacting? Yang Ming wanted to use his special ability to probe their movements but decided not to after he thought about it.

The three of them had met again after a long time. The possibility of them talking about Yang Ming’s affairs was very low. It was nothing more than reminiscing about old times. Yang Ming was also too lazy to care about them; he would wait until the evening and discuss it with Fang Tian in person.

At the same time in Wang Songshan’s study, Wang Songshan and Fang Tian both looked excitedly at Wang Ruoshui who was sitting on the sofa. Her expression was very plain.

“Sister, why haven’t you written a letter home for so long? I thought… I thought you already…” Wang Songshan was choked with emotion.

Looking at Wang Songshan being emotional, Wang Ruoshui sighed quietly. Her plain expression from before could not help but be moved a bit, “I… I wanted to commit suicide… but was rescued by a senior… I wanted to commit suicide again after that, but I couldn’t find the determination to do it.”

Wang Songshan and Fang Tian were shocked when they heard Wang Ruoshui’s words. If Wang Ruoshui was not coincidentally rescued, the two of them would probably not see her at this time. As for Wang Ruoshui who couldn’t commit suicide before, it would not be as easy if she wanted to commit suicide again.

That’s how the human mind works. If you try to commit suicide once and fail, it is difficult to be determined enough to attempt suicide a second time. It is simply human nature.

“It’s good that you didn’t die, it’s good that you didn’t die…” Wang Songshan looked at Wang Ruoshui who was still alive and could not help but release a tense breath.

“Brother… I’m sorry.” Although Wang Ruoshui was over forty years old, she had been living a secluded life, so her heart had stayed as a little girl in her twenties. Seeing Wang Songshan so worried about her, she couldn’t help but be moved; her little daughter-like weakness was revealed.

“Ruoshui, I should be the one to say sorry…” Fang Tian sighed and looked at Wang Ruoshui in front of him, seemingly like it was twenty years ago.

Wang Ruoshui didn’t respond to Fang Tian’s words but just snorted coldly. Her hatred for him had probably not yet faded. But on the contrary, this hate should also contain love. How could there be hate without love? Otherwise, she could just regard Fang Tian as an unfamiliar person. What would love and hate have to do with her?

Fang Tian noticed that Wang Ruoshui didn’t respond to him, so he smiled awkwardly and his face flushed as he turned to Wang Songshan for help.

Wang Songshan was filled with hatred and frustration towards old man Fang Tian, but he was helpless. It was Fang Tian who forced Wang Ruoshui to attempt suicide, but it was also Fang Tian who had the best relationship with Wang Ruoshui. Now, since Wang Ruoshui had returned, Wang Songshan’s heart knot had been unlocked and he would no longer blame Fang Tian. Instead, he felt that it would be a beautiful thing to match Fang Tian with Wang Ruoshui.

So when Wang Songshan saw Fang Tian asking for help, he quickly tried to smooth things over, “Ruoshui, you have just come back at this time, you won’t leave again, right?”

“It depends.” In Wang Ruoshui’s heart, naturally, she didn’t want to leave anymore. However, women were always reserved. Especially in front of Fang Tian, ​​she would not say anything affirmative.

“Then don’t leave.” Fang Tian heard that Wang Ruoshui didn’t directly refuse and his heart suddenly rejoiced. He was considered a wily old fox. When he was young, he was simply captivated by the idea of loving only one person. Naturally, he would not make this low-level mistake again. Since Wang Ruoshui didn’t affirm that she was going to leave, Fang Tian fawned over her.

“Whether I leave or not, what does it have to do with you?” Wang Ruoshui glared at Fang Tian.

Fang Tian didn’t feel annoyed at all. Previously, Wang Ruoshui ignored his existence, so it was already a big improvement for her to speak to him at this time. So no matter what Wang Ruoshui said, Fang Tian was very happy.

“You haven’t been to China yet, right? I’ll take you around?” Fang Tian said with a smile.

“I’m sorry. I have been there in the past few years.” Wang Ruoshui said plainly, and directly rebuked Fang Tian’s words.

“It doesn’t matter. We can travel around the world and walk around other places.” Fang Tian didn’t know what a thin-skin was at the moment. If he didn’t grasp this opportunity, Yang Ming would likely make fun of him.

“Let’s talk about it another time.” Wang Ruoshui frowned and seemed to be annoyed at Fang Tian’s nagging. She turned to Wang Songshan and said, “Is my room still here? I’m tired, I need to rest.”

Fang Tian ignored Wang Ruoshui’s frown. Although Wang Ruoshui’s attitude was still not good, she had mostly expressed her thoughts by saying “let’s talk about it another time.” If she really didn’t want anything to happen again with Fang Tian, ​​she could simply reject him, and not say anything as vague as “talk about it another time”.

“It’s still here. I’ll walk you there.” Wang Songshan stood up and Fang Tian quickly followed, preparing to send Wang Ruoshui out.

“No need, I can find it myself.” Wang Ruoshui took a deep breath. She was in a mess now. Originally, she had come back this time just to attend her niece’s engagement ceremony. But was that really the case? Wang Ruoshui shook her head. Maybe, deep down, I still want to see Fang Tian. But when I saw him, I didn’t know what to do.

Should I hate him, ignore him, or? Wang Ruoshui had worked hard to train herself and wanted to return to kill the ungrateful Fang Tian. However, somehow it had inexplicably become a duel with Fang Tian’s apprentice!

Even Wang Ruoshui couldn’t figure out how her wild ideas came about. The moment she returned to the family, she let the disciples of the Butterfly Family pass on a message to ask Fang Tian to come out with vigor and spirit. At that moment, she intended to kill Fang Tian and wash away the shame of her engagement being broken.

However, it not only Fang Tian who came out of the Butterfly Castle ​​but also her brother Wang Songshan and Fang Tian’s apprentice, Yang Ming! The ensuing brief confusion had disrupted Wang Ruoshui’s original plan. Later, when she heard that Yang Ming had come to break an engagement, Wang Ruoshui had directly transferred her resentment to Yang Ming. It was to the extent that she followed Wang Songshan and Fang Tian to the Butterfly Castle where the thought of killing Fang Tian disappeared and turned into a complex emotion that was beyond words.

Do I really want to kill him? I don’t seem to have that intention… Wang Ruoshui had listened to Fang Tian’s nonsense and her heart had become very messy. She wanted to calm down alone.

“This…” Wang Songshan hesitated, but stopped. Wang Ruoshui had lived there for more than two decades and was hence familiar with the Butterfly Castle’s terrain.

“Old Man Fang, I really didn’t expect that Ruoshui would come back…” Wang Songshan sighed, but his expression was indescribably relaxed. Although Wang Ruoshui had disappeared for more than two decades, Fang Tian and Wang Songshan had tacitly not mentioned this matter. But that didn’t mean that they had forgotten her existence.

The first reason why they didn’t mention Wang Ruoshui was because they were afraid that they would both be sad if they mentioned her. The other reason was that the matter was caused by Fang Tian. If Wang Sonshan mentioned this, it would inevitably hurt their long-standing friendship.

But now that Wang Ruoshui was back, there were no more scruples between the two. Fang Tian also seemed particularly excited, ” Hehe, this time it might be two marriages.”

Wang Songshan heard Fang Tian’s so-called two marriages and was stunned. Then he immediately understood what Fang Tian meant. Yang Ming and Wang Xiaoyan were a pair; Fang Tian and Wang Ruoshui…

“Old Man Fang, I can tell you that the happiness of my sister’s future depends on you. Don’t let me down again !” Wang Songshan looked at Fang Tian and said with a serious expression.

“Relax.” Fang Tian smiled, “Do you think I will make the same mistake as last time?”

“Yeah, because of you, we agreed that there would be no limit to how many girlfriends your apprentice has. Otherwise, the original tragedy would likely happen again.” Wang Songshan sighed, “However, why were you so stubborn back then? Although there was no such limitation at the beginning, if you insisted on taking Ruoshui away, my father would not disagree.”

“Ai, don’t mention it. My thoughts can’t keep up.” Fang Tian waved his hand with a blushing face, “If I had accepted Yang Ming as an apprentice earlier, I would probably not have made this mistake.”

“Your apprentice is quite fickle in relationships.” Wang Songshan frowned. “If he hadn’t gotten acquainted with Yanyan a long time ago, I would have agreed to break the engagement. With so many women, I’m afraid that Yanyan would be mistreated!”

“Come on…” Fang Tian rolled his eyes. “Who dares to mistreat her? I didn’t marry Ruoshui back then because I was afraid she would disagree with my mother-in-law and kill her with a knife…”

“That’s true.” Wang Songshan nodded. “Yanyan is an assassin.”

Fang Tian smiled. He said nothing but he didn’t agree with Wang Songshan. Fang Tian was very clear about his apprentice’s ability. He believed that Yang Ming could handle these matters well.

“Right, do you want to tell Ruoshui about our plan regarding the engagement?” Fang Tian suddenly thought that Wang Ruoshui was involved in the farce just now, and she wanted to have a duel with Yang Ming, so he quickly asked Wang Songshan.

“This…” Wang Songshan also hesitated. Originally, the disengagement farce was to end when Yang Ming and Wang Xiaoyan met. But now it seemed that a great wave was about to appear; Wang Ruoshui wanted to join in, “I think we don’t have to tell her right now. It’s interesting to have her involved.”

“With her involvement… I’m afraid that the more she meddles, the more complicated this matter will become.” Fang Tian smiled bitterly and said.

“It won’t be. Anyway, her purpose is to get Yang Ming to marry Yanyan,” said Wang Songshan.

Yang Ming lay bored in bed and watched the TV for a while when the extension phone in the room rang suddenly. Yang Ming hesitated and answered the phone, “Hello?”

“Mr. Yang? Master asked me to inform you that dinner is ready. Please go to the restaurant on the first floor of the castle.” A respectful voice came from the phone.

Dinner is ready? It’s so fast. Yang Ming didn’t think that the banquet was specially prepared for him. Because Wang Ruoshui had suddenly returned to the family, Wang Songshan presumably wanted to celebrate it. He was just attending the banquet as a guest.

Since Yang Ming didn’t want to be associated with Wang Family anymore, he didn’t want to meet Wang Ruoshui. This woman was obviously hurt in her heart and vented her resentment on him. Yang Ming didn’t want to bear the crimes done by Fang Tian, ​​so the wise choice was to stay in the room, “I’m sorry, I’m not hungry, so I won’t go.”

“This-” The Wang Family disciple who called was suddenly stunned when he heard Yang Ming’s words. He didn’t expect this to happen. In his opinion, it was normal for the guests to be invited to the banquet. How could the guests refuse, especially when it was such a formal dinner? However, Yang Ming refused, which made this Wang Family disciple not know what to do for a while.

“I don’t feel very well. Help me apologize to Uncle Wang.” Yang Ming continued to self-servingly speak without allowing the person over the phone to talk, “Alright, let’s end it here. I want to rest.”

Yang Ming finished talking and hung up. Yang Ming smiled bitterly, I am alive and well but I pretended to be sick. This is all caused by that woman, Wang Ruoshui.

Forget it, I will bear with it for a while. I won’t starve to death by skipping a meal. Yang Ming changed the TV channels and stopped at an entertainment program.

After a short while, there was a knock on the door from outside the room and hearty laughter was heard. It was Wang Songshan, “Yang Ming, I heard that you are not feeling well?”

Yang Ming was stunned, then touched his nose with a bitter smile. My face is too big, right? The owner of the Butterfly Family has personally come to visit me at the door? At this moment, no matter how boastful Yang Ming was, he had to get up and walk to the door of the room. He opened the door and saw Wang Songshan and Fang Tian standing outside, so he said helplessly, “Maybe it is a jet lag problem, I’m a bit tired.”

When Yang Ming spoke, he looked around behind Fang Tian and Wang Songshan. He didn’t see Wang Ruoshui and was relieved. Yang Ming didn’t want to meet this unreasonable woman.

“I see.” Wang Songshan glanced at Yang Ming and smiled slyly. It seemed that he also realized that Yang Ming was totally fine. What Yang Ming said was false, but he didn’t expose him, “Eat something, your body will feel better.”

Fang Tian also noticed Yang Ming’s current intention, “Let’s go. You’re a grown man, so don’t take these trivial matters to heart.”

Trivial? Is this trivial? Yang Ming was speechless. If I don’t marry her niece, she won’t let me leave. If I lose, I will continue to practice here until I win. This rule is simply overbearing.

“Uncle Wang, I want to ask, is Senior Wang Ruoshui… also downstairs?” Yang Ming hesitated and asked.

Wang Songshan and Fang Tian glanced at each other. They seemed to have guessed a long time ago that Yang Ming might ask this question. Wang Songshan gave Fang Tian a wink. Fang Tian coughed twice and said, “Ruoshui is indeed downstairs… but she is very nice. Don’t worry, she won’t trouble you.”

Nice? Yang Ming rolled his eyes. So she is a nice person in your heart? However, since they had said so, it would be inappropriate for Yang Ming to refuse again. After all, Fang Tian had already spoken. Back at home, his relationship with Fang Tian was as a student but also a friend, so there was no problem in joking. However, Yang Ming still had to give Fang Tian face, otherwise, he would be laughed at for not behaving.

So since Fang Tian had already said so, Yang Ming had to say, “Okay, then I’ll eat less.”

Yang Ming left the room behind Fang Tian and Wang Songshan. They went downstairs and walked towards the restaurant. Along the way, the disciples of the Wang Family discarded the matters at hand and stood respectfully on the side. After they passed, they continued with their work.

“Uncle Wang, your daughter … didn’t come, right?” Yang Ming suddenly thought of an extremely important question – would Wang Songshan’s daughter, his fiancee, join the banquet? If she had also come, he would avoid it as soon as possible, otherwise, something whimsical might happen with Wang Ruoshui present.

“Oh, she’s not home.” Wang Songshan waved and said, “She’s out to buy things, and she won’t be back until tomorrow.”

Yang Ming breathed a sigh of relief. For the time being, it would be best if they do not meet to avoid the awkwardness. As for Wang Ruoshui, hopefully Fang Tian could convince her as soon as possible to forget about the duel.

Wang Ruoshui was not present in the restaurant. Yang Ming looked around with his 360-degree vision. Maybe she hasn’t come yet. Yang Ming’s tense mood eased slightly. He followed Fang Tian and Wang Songshan and arrived at a luxurious round table.

“Uncle Wang… can I sit between the two of you?” Yang Ming hesitated and asked.

Since Wang Songshan’s daughter was not there, then only four people would eat this meal together. If Wang Songshan and Fang Tian were sitting next to each other, then no matter which side Yang Ming was sitting on, it was inevitable to be seated together with Wang Ruoshui. That’s why Yang Ming made this request.

If it was a different occasion and place, Yang Ming’s request would be very excessive. After all, sitting between the two elders was implied that he was the guest of honor. However, only four people were eating now, so no one could tell the difference. Therefore, Yang Ming took the liberty to make this request.

Fang Tian and Wang Songshan naturally understood the current situation. Between the two of them, one was Wang Ruoshui’s brother and the other was Wang Ruoshui’s lover. Wang Ruoshui had not been home for over twenty years. Yang Ming’s request was compatible with their wishes.
