"Ruo Xuan!"
Seeing the newcor, Zheng Shuheng's heart trembled.
It's worth ntioning that he had studied abroad with Xu Ruoxuan.
The first ti he saw Xu Ruoxuan, Zheng Shuheng was conquered by her beauty.
Latter on, Zheng Shuheng learned of Xu Ruoxuan's astonishing IQ, combining beauty with intelligence. He couldn't help but be greatly moved.
How could he not love such a rare woman of this world?
As a result, Zheng Shuheng pursued Xu Ruoxuan multiple tis abroad. Unfortunately, at that ti, Xu Ruoxuan was solely focused on her academics and paid no attention to romantic affairs.
Later, when Xu Ruoxuan completed her studies early and returned to Central Plains to lead the Xu Family through a transformation from a wealthy house to a noble clan, Zheng Shuheng couldn't help but marvel at Xu Ruoxuan's intelligence like that of a mythical being.
Therefore, Zheng Shuheng hardened his heart and secretly vowed to marry Xu Ruoxuan in this life.
Zheng Shuheng's first course of action was to have the elders of the Zheng family of Jinling propose a marriage alliance to the Central Plains Xu Family. In Zheng Shuheng's view, as the Zheng family was the foremost family in Jinling and ranked among the top ten in national strength, his proposal to the Xu family was in itself a lowering of stature, which would surely thrill the Xu family.
As expected, when the senior mbers of the Xu family heard of his marriage proposal, the whole family was excited.
If Xu Ruoxuan could marry into the Zheng family of Jinling, the status of the Xu family in Central Plains would surely soar.
For a while, countless Xu family elders began persuading Xu Ruoxuan to marry Zheng Shuheng, but she did not respond for a long ti.
Now, Xu Ruoxuan was the leading figure of the Xu Family. Without Xu Ruoxuan, the Xu Family could not possibly enjoy its present glory.
Since Xu Ruoxuan did not respond for a long ti, the Xu family elders could not continue to pressure her. If Xu Ruoxuan beca angered, it would be of no benefit to them.
"Young Master Zheng, long ti no see," Xu Ruoxuan courteously replied.
Hearing Xu Ruoxuan address him as Young Master Zheng, Zheng Shuheng felt a profound bitterness inside, as he sensed an intangible distance in her words.
Zheng Shuheng directly asked, "Ruo Xuan, why haven't you responded to the marriage proposal I had the Zheng family elders send to you?"
"Young Master Zheng, I don't think there's much affection between us, right? If you truly like , then don't pressure . We have a long life ahead, let's get to know each other gradually!" Xu Ruoxuan said with a smile.
"A long life ahead? Get to know each other gradually?"
At her words, Zheng Shuheng's face looked as if drained of life, "Fine then!"
He knew Xu Ruoxuan was no ordinary woman, and his forceful pursuit was in vain. This was also why he liked Xu Ruoxuan so deeply.
After all, if it had been any ordinary woman, she would have been ecstatic at his proposal. But Xu Ruoxuan remained exceptionally calm in the face of his proposal.
"Sister, why are you here?" Xu Haoran said in shock.
Xu Ruoxuan replied annoyingly, "Haoran, I told you to study the ways of business properly, but not only do you secretly play gas, you also dared to sneak out. Don't you realize you almost caused a huge disaster? How can I trust the Xu family to you in the future with you behaving like this?"
"Sister, isn't our Xu family with you there? It's not my turn to worry yet!" Xu Haoran said with an annoyed expression.
Xu Ruoxuan shook her head and said, "Sister may eventually get married or pursue other matters. I can only lead the Xu family temporarily, understand?"
"Oh, I got it!" Xu Haoran replied helplessly.
From a young age, he was fearless, and in the entire Su family, he was only afraid of Xu Ruoxuan.
Because his sister Xu Ruoxuan was too astute. Every ti he made any small move, Xu Ruoxuan would predict it in advance, which made Xu Haoran feel very uncomfortable.
Xu Ruoxuan sighed lightly. She was truly disappointed in her brother's inability to et her expectations.
The next mont, Xu Ruoxuan said to Xu Haoran, "Haoran, what are you hesitating for? Hurry up and apologize to Mr. Ye!"
"What? Apologize to this kid?"
Hearing his sister Xu Ruoxuan's words, Xu Haoran almost bounced off the ground.
Ye Fan had been opposing him at every turn just monts ago, and Xu Haoran had the urge to beat Ye Fan to death. He couldn't believe Xu Ruoxuan was asking him to apologize to Ye Fan. How could he accept this?
"Yes, you must apologize to Mr. Ye!" Xu Ruoxuan emphasized her tone.
With a suffocated expression, Xu Haoran said, "Sis, I haven't done anything wrong, why should I apologize to him? Besides, I am the eldest young master of the Xu Family, and he's just an insignificant figure. I shouldn't have to lower myself to apologize to him, right?"
"Do you think you're all that great? Let make it clear to you, you're worth nothing in front of Mr. Ye!" Xu Ruoxuan said sternly.
Others might not be aware of Ye Fan's background, but she, Xu Ruoxuan, had already gotten a rough understanding.
Leaving aside Ye Fan's other feats, just the incident at the recent Marshal's investiture ceremony where he drove a sports car into the event and loudly hollered into the microphone was enough proof that Ye Fan was no simple person, and in fact, quite extraordinary.
Even she wouldn't dare to cause a disturbance at the Marshal's investiture ceremony!
What was most astonishing was that, under Ye Fan's brazen act, Commander Lin Wulin actually bowed to Ye Fan.
What did this indicate?
Xu Ruoxuan was extrely smart; she could tell at a glance that Ye Fan had a significant background, and even soone with high authority like Grand Commander Lin Wu had to treat Ye Fan with the utmost respect.
Just how significant Ye Fan's background was, Xu Ruoxuan didn't dare to imagine.
Unwilling to accept this, Xu Haoran said, "Sis, don't you think you're overestimating this guy a bit?"
"Yeah, Ruoxuan, aren't you making a mountain out of a molehill?" Zheng Shuheng also spoke up.
Xu Haoran was here because of Zheng Shuheng's invite from the Silver Base Tower, and if Xu Haoran was disciplined by Xu Ruoxuan because of him, Zheng Shuheng would lose face in front of Ye Fan.
Stay connected with empire
"Young Master Zheng, I'm disciplining my brother; it's not your place to interfere, right?"
Seeing Zheng Shuheng stand up to defend Xu Haoran at this mont, Xu Ruoxuan gave Zheng Shuheng a cold look.
Facing Xu Ruoxuan's cold gaze, Zheng Shuheng hurriedly explained, "Ruoxuan, don't be mad, I don't want to ddle in your family affairs, it's just that..."
"Just what? Just that Mr. Ye doesn't deserve an apology from Haoran, is that it?" Xu Ruoxuan asked coldly.
With a stiff expression, Zheng Shuheng said, "Ruoxuan, does this kid really deserve an apology from Haoran?"
"Exactly, sis!" Xu Haoran said with a pained face.
"Hmph!"
Xu Ruoxuan snorted and turned to Zheng Shuheng, "What do you know? With your presumptuous attitude, how could you understand Mr. Ye's strength?"
"What?" Upon hearing this, Zheng Shuheng was deeply shocked.
His gaze toward Ye Fan suddenly changed, wondering if this Ye Fan had so remarkable identity.
After scolding Zheng Shuheng, Xu Ruoxuan once again turned to Xu Haoran, "Haoran, imdiately apologize to Mr. Ye, or I will cut off your allowance for three years!"
"Cut... cut off my allowance for three years? Sis, are you serious?" Upon hearing this, Xu Haoran almost bit his own tongue.
Ever since Xu Ruoxuan returned from studying abroad, his allowance had been controlled and was pitifully small.
Now Xu Ruoxuan was going to cut off his allowance for three years just for Ye Fan. Xu Haoran felt a nearly overwhelming urge to spew blood.
Xu Ruoxuan asked coldly, "Are you going to apologize or not?"
", apologize to him?" Xu Haoran looked at Ye Fan, full of pent-up resentnt.
At that mont, Ye Fan stood with his hands behind his back, his gaze piercing, proud and aloof.
