How could I let my son-in-law leave?
"Brother Tian, would you be interested in grabbing a drink together?" Ye Feiyu invited Hua Tianyu.
"Of course! It's been so long since I last saw you, brother. How could we just stop at one drink?" Hua Tianyu smiled.
"Then what about the young lady in your car?" Ye Feiyu asked with a smile.
A boss will always be a boss; wherever he goes, there are beauties around. That young lady in the car looked innocent to the extreme.
"How about this? You name a place, and after I drop her off at home, I'll come find you," Hua Tianyu replied.
"Feiyu Martial Arts Club in Shangnan District. I'll be right there," Ye Feiyu said.
"Alright! See you in a bit!"
Having quickly parted ways with Ye Feiyu, Hua Tianyu got back into the car.
"Do you know that person from just now?" Wang Hong asked with a hint of curiosity.
Wang Hong had seen the two of them start off sparring, but after exchanging a couple of punches, they began chatting and laughing just like old friends.
"Yes, an old comrade of mine. He just happened to run into me and was playing a prank," Hua Tianyu answered as he started the engine.
Hua Tianyu felt there was no need to tell Wang Hong about the bloody world of fighting and killing, sparing her from unnecessary worry.
Since Wang Hong was such an innocent girl, what was wrong with letting her stay that way?
There were no further incidents along the way, and they soon arrived downstairs at Wang Hong's apartment building.
Unexpectedly, Wang Hong's mother, Hu Dongmei, perhaps having learned that Hua Tianyu was bringing Wang Hong back today, was already waiting downstairs. The moment she saw her daughter step out of a pink sedan, a wave of pride washed over her.
Although she didn't recognize the car model, just by looking at its appearance, she could tell it must be expensive. Her daughter had indeed hooked a wealthy man!
"Daughter! Your boyfriend brought you back!" Hu Dongmei's greeting was delivered with full breath support, practically roared out.
She wanted her voice to be loud so that all the surrounding neighbors would hear, come out, and see what a wealthy boyfriend her daughter had managed to secure.
"Mom!" Wang Hong greeted, a clear tone of reprimand in her voice.
Hu Dongmei's booming voice made her blush furiously, and she wished she could find a crack in the ground to crawl into.
Yet Wang Hong's reprimand seemed to have no effect on Hu Dongmei at all. Seeing Hua Tianyu step out of the car, Hu Dongmei loudly offered another greeting.
"Son-in-law, you're here too!"
Hua Tianyu: "..."
"Auntie, I..."
Hua Tianyu barely started speaking when Hu Dongmei interrupted him.
"What auntie? Call me Mom!"
Hua Tianyu: "..."
"Mom... what are you talking about?!" Wang Hong was clearly displeased with her mother's behavior. Moreover, with those two booming shouts, many people had already poked their heads out of windows and from the roadside to watch the spectacle.
Under everyone's gaze, she blushed even more fiercely.
"Brother Tian, you should go quickly!" Seeing that she couldn't reason with her mother, Wang Hong simply urged Hua Tianyu to leave.
"Alright, then I'll be off! Auntie, goodbye!" Hua Tianyu, equally unaccustomed to Hu Dongmei's overwhelming enthusiasm, quickly got back into his car and drove away.
"You silly girl, what is wrong with you?! How could you let my son-in-law leave just like that? I've already made the bed for you two with brand-new bright red bedsheets!"
Seeing that her prospective wealthy son-in-law had been chased away by her daughter, Hu Dongmei was extremely dissatisfied and scolded Wang Hong.
"Mom! Is that any way to treat your own daughter?" Wang Hong asked, growing quite angry.
With so many pairs of eyes staring, Wang Hong simply couldn't bear to listen any longer. She turned around and prepared to head upstairs.
Before she could take a single step, her mother grabbed her firmly by the arm.
"Let me tell you, I'll let it slide that you let my son-in-law go today. In a couple of days, I'll prepare some dishes, and you must have my son-in-law come over for dinner. If he doesn't come, I won't let you hear the end of it!"
Hu Dongmei grabbed her daughter's hand and said in a harsh tone, though she kept her voice low enough that only the two of them could hear.
"Your younger brother is good for nothing; I can't count on him anymore. My only hope now is for you to bring back a good husband for me!"
Hu Dongmei's words carried an even sterner tone, but her voice grew even softer, as her son's incompetence was a family scandal.
Wang Hong, who had originally intended to flat-out refuse, couldn't help sighing when she heard this. "Fine, but you have to promise me not to talk nonsense and to save me some face, alright?"
"Deal!" Hu Dongmei shoved her daughter's hand away and said, "It's settled then!"
Turning around and seeing that many eyes were still fixed on them, Hu Dongmei's eyes rolled as she shouted toward the tail lights of the Jaguar, "Goodbye, son-in-law!"
Sitting in the car, Hua Tianyu didn't hear the farewell and drove straight to the Feiyu Martial Arts Club in Shangnan District.
After parking and getting out, Hua Tianyu saw that Ye Feiyu was already waiting at the entrance of the club.
"Brother Tian!" Ye Feiyu called out from a distance.
"Good day, Brother Tian!" chanted dozens of Ye Feiyu's subordinates at the entrance in unison, their momentum shaking the heavens.
Hua Tianyu smiled faintly. As expected of a brother from Dragon Soul, Ye Feiyu had already built up such strength. It seemed he was doing quite well for himself here in Shangjiang City!
"What do you mean doing well for myself!"
With the brothers reunited and a few drinks down, Ye Feiyu opened up.
"My martial arts club doesn't lend usury, doesn't collect protection money, and doesn't touch anything to do with drugs. Usually, I just rely on these two fists of mine to earn a reputation, acting as bodyguards for people and teaching martial arts to get by."
"Good, those things are not to be touched. Otherwise, even if you are my brother from Dragon Soul, I wouldn't acknowledge you anymore!" Hua Tianyu said solemnly.
"By the way, Brother Tian, speaking of Dragon Soul, how do you have time to come to Shangjiang City, and how is Dragon Soul doing now?" Ye Feiyu asked.
Hearing this, Hua Tianyu drained the cup of wine in front of him in one gulp, and then began to recount the details of Dragon Soul's final battle, the mission entrusted to him by Bear to look after his daughter, and his current position at Swan Group.
"So what are your plans for the future?" Ye Feiyu asked.
"I've already used Dragon Soul's special communication methods to broadcast the news of my presence in Shangjiang City. Now I plan to wait here for the surviving brothers of Dragon Soul, gather our strength, and exact our revenge!"
"Brother Tian, I have an idea."
"Tell me."
"Although my martial arts club isn't top-tier in Shangjiang City, it has quite a bit of clout in Shangnan District and boasts a few hundred men. But honestly, I got tired of running a martial arts club long ago. I want to bring these brothers and follow your lead!" Ye Feiyu said with a solemn expression.
"Follow my lead?"
"Yes, follow your lead! Living as a Dragon Soul man, dying as a Dragon Soul soul. Brother Tian, you have no idea how despairing I felt when I learned I could no longer rejoin Dragon Soul! Now that you are in Shangjiang City, if I don't seize this opportunity, I will never forgive myself!"
"Count me in on Dragon Soul's revenge plan!" Ye Feiyu said every word with absolute conviction.
