After agreeing on a time for her medical appointment with Zhao Min, Shen Lang left school with Wang Yuyan.
He was a little worried that Yu Xiao and Yu Fei's moods might be affected by this commotion and wanted to ask for half a day off for them.
However, Yu Xiao and Yu Fei's refusal was very firm, and in the end, Shen Lang had to give up.
After leaving the school gate and getting into the car, Shen Lang leaned back in the driver's seat, let out a long sigh, and then took out his phone to call his old man.
As soon as the call was connected, a lazy voice came from the other end: "Kid, you've been down the mountain for a few days, isn't it time to come back?"
"Do you know that since you went down the mountain, your master has been unable to eat or sleep well every day out of worry for you? He already had little flesh on him, and now he's lost even more weight."
"Worrying about me?"
Hearing the old man's voice, Shen Lang sneered: "I don't think it's worrying about me, but rather that Wolong's cooking doesn't suit your taste, and there's no one to fan you while you sleep.
"Old man, it's not that I'm saying this, but what kind of screwed-up people do you know."
Shen Lang was dissatisfied: "That Wang Yunchuan, what kind of person is he? He described a human monster, less than 1.2 meters tall, weighing 380 pounds, and with a beard all over his face, as a celestial maiden to deceive someone into marriage. After I saw through it, he actually wanted his granddaughter, Shi Qingxuan, to impersonate her and get married."
"Now Wang Yunchuan, that old bastard, has already sold his villa and run away. I can't find him. I'm telling you, you must find him for me."
"The engagement must be broken, it must be broken."
Facing Shen Lang's anger, the old man on the other end of the phone was stunned: "There's such a thing? How come I don't know?"
"Impossible. I haven't met that girl Wang Yuyan, but I have met her mother. She was the most beautiful woman in Jiangnan twenty years ago, her beauty amazed the world."
"And that girl's father is not bad either, known as the most handsome man in Longguo. A gentle smile from him is enough to make women in the world fall for him."
"The daughter born to these two, even if she's not as beautiful as a fairy, wouldn't be a human monster like you say."
The old man's tone was full of suspicion, and he said: "Are you mistaken?"
"I'm mistaken? Can Wolong be mistaken?"
Shen Lang snorted and said, "Wolong is so smart, so meticulous. Even if I, as the senior brother, don't know, I'm afraid you, as the master, should know? How could he make such a simple mistake?"
"Old man, this is all your fault for not discerning people. I'll give you a week, and you must find Wang Yunchuan for me."
Hearing Shen Lang's words, the old man was clearly unhappy: "When the engagement was made, I was there, and you were there. Although Wang Yunchuan is my old friend, the final decision-maker was you."
"Kid, I'm warning you, you must keep your word. Since you agreed to this marriage back then, even if Wang Yuyan is really a human monster like you say, you can't break the engagement."
"What?"
Hearing this, Shen Lang couldn't suppress his anger: "What kind of bullshit logic is this? I was deceived into marriage, I became the victim, and I'm not allowed to actively break the engagement?"
"Yes, you heard correctly, you cannot break the engagement."
The old man's tone was firm and unequivocal: "If you dare to break the engagement, I will go down the mountain to find you. Once I find you, I will cripple you."
At these words, Shen Lang was dumbfounded.
He knew that the old man would not let him break the engagement easily due to his friendship with Wang Yunchuan, but he never expected the old man's attitude to be so firm.
He had lived with the old man for fifteen years, and no one knew the old man's personality better than he did.
Although the old man usually looked kind and lazy, when he truly got angry, it was no joke.
Shen Lang had witnessed the old man's anger once before, and the terror of that scene still made Shen Lang's hair stand on end and send chills down his spine.
Knowing the old man's personality, Shen Lang did not choose to confront him head-on. Instead, he changed his strategy and said with a smile: "I can't actively break the engagement, but if Wang Yunchuan and Wang Yuyan actively ask to break it off with me, then I will agree, is that okay?"
"That is certainly acceptable."
The old man said: "As long as it's not you who initiates it, and it doesn't make me break my word with an old friend and lose face, then it's fine."
"Then it's settled."
Shen Lang said confidently: "I will definitely find a way to make Wang Yunchuan and Wang Yuyan propose to break off the engagement."
After speaking, Shen Lang hung up the phone, feeling a little more relieved.
"Big Brother Shen, who were you just talking to on the phone?"
After Shen Lang let out a breath of stale air, Wang Yuyan asked curiously.
Wang Yuyan had heard just now that the other party not only knew her mother but also her father, which completely sparked her curiosity.
Since she could remember, Wang Yuyan had never met her parents.
Her grandfather doted on her, but every time Wang Yuyan asked Wang Yunchuan about her parents, Wang Yunchuan would scold her harshly and tell her not to ask again.
What puzzled Wang Yuyan was that when she asked others, they were also tight-lipped about her parents' affairs and dared not say a word.
Wang Yuyan wanted to know her parents' names, what kind of people they were, and whether they were alive or dead.
"Don't ask about things you shouldn't know."
Facing Wang Yuyan's curiosity, Shen Lang's expression turned serious, and he said: "There are some people whose identities are not for you to inquire about. The more you know, the more dangerous it will be for you, understand?"
Shen Lang was not trying to scare Wang Yuyan. The old man's identity was a taboo in Longguo. If Wang Yuyan knew his name, she might bring about a disaster.
"What?"
Hearing Shen Lang's words, Wang Yuyan's face changed drastically. She never expected Shen Lang to say something like that.
Wang Yuyan wanted to ask more, but Shen Lang had already started the car, clearly not wanting to reveal any information about the other party to her.
"Who exactly is that person?"
Wang Yuyan vowed that no matter what, she had to meet that person and ask him clearly about her parents.
However, Shen Lang was unwilling to reveal the other party's identity. How could she meet him?
For a moment, Wang Yuyan fell into a dilemma.
There is a saying that nothing is impossible for a willing heart.
Soon, Wang Yuyan had an idea.
Since the other party was Shen Lang's master, she would definitely be able to meet him at her and Shen Lang's wedding.
Wang Yuyan made a decision in her heart: she absolutely could not break off the engagement with Shen Lang.
Thinking of this, Wang Yuyan was in a very good mood. She secretly thought that she must find a way to contact her grandfather and tell him to hide and wear down Shen Lang like an eagle.
Once Shen Lang had lost his temper from being worn down, she would then use her beauty to lure him a little, and their wedding could proceed as planned.
Thinking of her flawless plan, Wang Yuyan couldn't help but reveal a hint of smugness on her face.
Heh, Wang Yuyan, you're a genius.
