Chapter 1525: Both Sides Don't Know

"Yanyan's boyfriend?" Wang Ruoshui stared at Wang Songshan puzzled, "This time, isn't she getting engaged with Mr. Fang's disciple? How did it become Yanyan's boyfriend? Are these two events happening at the same time?"

Wang Songshan knew that Wang Ruoshui still did not understand. He waved his hand while smiling, "Ruoshui, actually, the matter is like this. Yanyan's boyfriend is Old Man Fang's disciple, Yang Ming!"

"What?" Wang Ruoshui was confused by the words of Wang Songshan, and she didn't know what was going on. What a mess, how did Yanyan's boyfriend become Fang Tian's disciple? In that case, what engagement is there to break off? Indeed, it was difficult for an outsider like Wang Ruoshui to understand the complicated relationship, "Brother, what are you talking about, why can't I understand a sentence?"

"It's not unusual that you don't understand..." Wang Songshan said. It seems that I must be frank. Otherwise, with Wang Ruoshui's temperament, she will pursue the matter to the end. "This matter is a long story. At that time, our father had decided on Yanyan's engagement, which means that it is an engagement that is difficult to change.

"However, as Yanyan grew up and matured, she showed a very strong resistance when she came to know about her engagement. She didn't want to marry someone she had never met before. They don't have a romantic foundation, so how is it possible to communicate when living together in the future? Although they can be considered as peers, that does not mean that they can get along well and even love each other in the end.

"Yanyan could not accept this the most, so she made an agreement with me to let her leave the family and go to China to study., She would set up an assassin group by herself while there. If this assassin group surpassed our Butterfly Family and became the world's number one assassin group, then I would allow her to break off the engagement. Otherwise, she would have to obediently come home and get married.

"Both Yanyan and I assented on this agreement. However, in my opinion, it was already improbable for her to build such a large assassin group by herself. It was even more improbable for it to become the number one assassin group in the world!"

"That's true..." Wang Ruoshui nodded after listening to Wang Songshan's words. "But, brother, don't you think that your request was a little outrageous? Our Butterfly Family needed hundreds of years of history to develop to such a scale. You expected my niece to create a first-class assassin group in just a few years. Wasn't it whimsical? Wasn't it bullying? Obviously, it was unfair, extremely unfair!"

It was no wonder that Wang Ruoshui was angry. The deal between Wang Songshan and Wang Xiaoyan was a typical unfair agreement. It was foreseeable that in the end, Wang Songshan would definitely be the winner and Wang Xiaoyan would no doubt be the loser...

After all, the Butterfly Family was already at the top of the assassin families. It was basically impossible to leap and surpass the Butterfly Family. Of course, this was disregarding the old pervert Fang Tian, ​​because common sense could not be used when it comes to the King of Assassins.

However, Fang Tian was a lone wolf from every perspective. Despite his formidability, he was a hero who worked alone, and not within a family. This posed no threat to the Butterfly Family. So, ignoring Fang Tian, the ​​Butterfly Family would remain the top among all the assassin families.

In other words, as long as the Butterfly Family remained firmly at the top of the assassin families, then Wang Xiaoyan wanting to surpass them with a newly established assassin group was simply a dream!

Among the assassin families ranked below the Butterfly Family, which one would not want to progress further? Take the Charles Family for example. During these years, they had always wanted to surpass the Butterfly Family. However, they were unable to do so in the end.

After reaching this pinnacle of strength, it was undoubtedly difficult to progress to the next level. How could it be achieved easily? Hence, Wang Songshan never believed that Wang Xiaoyan could achieve her dream.

In fact, for the Black Widow Assassin Group established by Wang Xiaoyan a few years ago, never mind becoming the world's number one assassin group, it would already be terribly difficult to rank in the top one hundred of assassin groups!

A small inconsequential group like this would never have attracted Wong Songshan's attention if it was not founded by Wang Xiaoyan. It was even a waste to pay any attention to it. However, Wang Songshan had to pay some attention from the beginning since Wang Xiaoyan had founded this Black Widow Assassin Group.

But, Wong Songshan was disappointed with what he had observed. How could this be an assassin group? It was just like a child playing house, and even worse than he had expected! It was not just far out, it was way too far out!

Wang Songshan had literally lost hope for the Black Widow Assassin Group after observing them handle a few missions. How could this be an assassin group? This was just a group bent on revenge. Missions such as crippling legs, hands, and scaring people were accepted. It was... the same as any other small inconsequential group...

As a matter of fact, the Butterfly Assassin Group was the same when it was first established. It was impossible for any assassin group to immediately become influential from the start. Wang Xiaoyan with her own efforts had established such a group from scratch which was already not bad!

Without formidable strength and an extensive network, how could this small assassin group find missions? Who would be willing to offer any missions to this small assassin group?

In order to survive, the Black Widow Assassin Group could only take on missions of scaring people with its current abilities. There were very few assassination missions. Except for some locals who would come to them with missions, it was literally impossible for them to take on international missions.

"Ruoshui, you should know that when father made the engagement, we can't just change it even if we have the ability to." Wang Songshan reluctantly said, "The reality is my offer was unfair, but even so, Yanyan accepted it. Since we both accepted it, then there is no fairness or unfairness. If Yanyan really felt it was unfair, she could have refused it."

"Refuse?" Wang Ruoshui rolled her eyes on Wang Songshan. "The result of refusing your offer was to accept the engagement, and accept that there's always a silver lining even in this situation. Is this considered fair? My niece must have run out of other options and only accepted your offer as a last resort."

Wang Songshan suddenly blushed, and spoke with some awkwardness, "I had no other options. I could only let her try her luck."

"Well then, let's put this aside for a while. However, what I want to know is, how did my niece's boyfriend become the apprentice of that guy named Fang?" Wang Ruoshui looked at Wang Songshan, baffled. "That Yang Ming? The Yang Ming who had a meal with us?"

"Yes, that's him!" Wang Songshan nodded wryly, "This matter seems inexplicable when brought up but it actually happened. It makes people feel that the world is really small."

"You mean, one person actually holds both these identities," Wang Ruoshui slightly understood what Wang Songshan meant, "That is to say, Yanyan found a boyfriend by herself. However, due to strange circumstances, this boyfriend is Fang Tian's apprentice and Yanyan's engagement partner?"

Wang Ruoshui was also confused by Wang Songshan. One minute it was "Yanyan", the next minute it was "Niece" and then it was "Little Butterfly." However, both of them knew who he meant, and it was not that confusing.

" En, that's probably it..." Wang Songshan nodded, "Otherwise, how could I allow them to be together and not interfere?"

"So, Yanyan doesn't know the truth of this matter yet?" Wang Ruoshui frowned suddenly. "Then you promised Yanyan that she can terminate the marriage arrangement, just to make a fool out of her when she is happy? You even looked for excuses. I see that you are pretending to be a good person."

Wang Songshan's face turned pale with embarrassment upon being interrogated by Wang Ruoshui, "I just do not want to hurt my previous relationship with Yanyan?"

"Hurt the relationship? You are pretending to be a good person. This is secondary. The key issue is that you haven't told the truth to Yanyan yet. What are your intentions?" Wang Ruoshui frowned upon stating this fact, "This does not seem right. Judging from Yang Ming's attitude from yesterday and today, he doesn't seem to know about it? If he knew that his fiancée was Yanyan, would he insist on breaking off the engagement? Why is it that both Yanyan and he don't know? What kind of mess are you and the idiotic Fang Tian making? What do you both intend to do?"

Chapter 1526: Making an Agreement

"The two of us are just kidding with the two juniors..." Wang Songshan's expression was very ashamed. After all, it was shameful to even mention it in front of his sister. He and Fang Tian were no longer young and yet they actually set up a prank against the juniors. This made Wang Ruoshui laugh her head off [1]!

"Just kidding?"

Wang Ruoshui now fully understood the intentions of these two old guys. These seniors are shameless, disrespecting themselves and the juniors! It's imprudent to even do this kind of thing! "I guess both of them are in a hurry to break off their engagement because they had fallen in love with someone. But somehow, they did not know that this someone they fell in love with is their engagement partner. Dare I say, Wang Songshan, my dear brother, are you confused? What is the point in fooling around like this? "

*Cough—* Wang Songshan coughed a little awkwardly, "Of course, we don't want to, but both of them are as stubborn as an ox. Initially, Yanyan was not the only one who wanted to break off the engagement. Old Man Fang's disciple was also not interested once he knew about the engagement; he decided to break it off too. Since both of them wanted to break off the engagement, then let it be. Old Man Fang and I thought about it, and decided to fulfill their desires! When the two of them finally meet, guess what expression they will have!"

" Oh? So that's the case." Wang Ruoshui nodded as she listened to Wang Songshan's explanation with interest. "So, both of you are slapping the two youngsters' wrists [2] for opposing the engagement?"

"It's true. We would not be doing this if not for them being madly in love with each other!" Wang Songshan nodded and explained quickly. However, there was still one thing that Wang Songshan didn't explain. If this was the case, why didn't he and Fang Tian tell Yang Ming and Wang Xiaoyan earlier that their engagement partner was actually each other?

It would have avoided a lot of trouble if they had done so. Wouldn't it make both of them agree to the engagement? Since there were so many opportunities previously, why not disclose the matter? It would only take one sentence, wouldn't it?

Of course, Wang Songshan could not be frank about this. Wang Ruoshui would definitely give him a piece of her mind. Wang Songshan was relieved that Wang Ruoshui had stopped pursuing the matter.

"The both of you," Wang Ruoshui sighed. "Although your approach is not commendable, there is nothing wrong with teaching these two children a lesson."

"Yeah, you think so too?" Wang Songshan was glad to see that Wang Ruoshui agreed.

"If these were normal times and all was well, this matter would be really interesting, but now..." Wang Ruoshui smiled bitterly, "Now we are confronting a formidable enemy and the family is in imminent danger. How can I be in the mood to fool around...?"

Wang Songshan nodded with a bitter smile after he heard this, "No one would have thought that Goode would interfere. It really is man proposes but God disposes [3]. It was supposed to be a happy event, but now ... Ai! "

"Speaking of which, I was too impulsive yesterday." Wang Ruoshui said very remorsefully, "If not for me being impulsive, even if Goode had any intentions on Yanyan, it would not be possible for him to attack our Butterfly Family so brazenly. There is always a cause and reason for any event. I happened to give him this reason! Ai, if I had known this beforehand, I would have tactfully advised Goode to get out of the way... so it would have become such an intolerable situation! "

"Not necessarily!" Wang Songshan waved his hand, "Even if you didn't take action, considering Goode's temper, how could he passively watch Yanyan getting engaged? I think that there is an eighty percent probability that he would not stay idle. By then, he would definitely have some tricks to attack our Butterfly Family and force us to compromise! Now Goode has seized this opportunity, and even without your slap in his face as a reason, no one will criticize him."

Wang Ruoshui nodded. Indeed, Wang Songshan was right. Even if she did not act, Goode would never give up if he was really interested in Wang Xiaoyan.

The problem with the Lancer family would occur sooner or later. It was just a matter of time. Wang Ruoshui's heart lightened up with this thought.

After all, how could Wang Ruoshui's heart feel easy if she was the one responsible for the family's disaster? She had just returned home and immediately brought trouble to the family. If she had known, she would not have returned.

"You're right, as long as Yanyan is engaged, Goode will make his move sooner or later..." Wang Ruoshui sighed, "I never expected our Butterfly Family to so fragile that we cannot weather this storm [4]. Merely a Lancer family can dictate our destiny. "

"Since ancient times, it's not unusual for one person to decide the success or failure of something." Wang Songshan sighed, "I just didn't expect my generation to be the start of the Butterfly Family's decline..."

"Dangdangdang..."

Before Wang Ruoshui could continue the conversation, there was a knocking sound on the door of the study. Wang Songshan and Wang Ruoshui both chose to shut up. It was inappropriate for the topic they were discussing be mentioned in front of others, especially the part where they deliberately fooled around with the juniors.

"Who is it?" Wang Songshan asked.

Butler Mu and Wang Xiaoyan left not long ago. Could it be that fella Fang Tian has returned?

"It's me, Yang Ming." Great Assassin Yang had given Old Buffon a phone call in his room. After he confirmed that Old Buffon was able to solve the problem, he immediately came to negotiate with Wang Songshani!

With this bargaining chip in hand, I believe Wang Ruoshui will not pick a fight with me. Besides, the Butterfly Family has helped me once. It can be considered as returning the favor of allowing me to train here. The Butterfly Family and I will not owe each other anything.

"Yang Ming?" Both Wang Songshan and Wang Ruoshui were startled and glanced at each other. We were just talking about him, and now he is here. What is his purpose in coming here?

"It turns out to belittle friend Yang Ming!" Wang Songshan made a gesture to Wang Ruoshui, indicating for her to stay calm, and then called out in a friendly voice to Yang Ming outside the door, "The door is unlocked, just come in!"

Yang Ming hadn't used his special ability to probe the circumstances in the study beforehand, because he thought it was unnecessary. He would only use his special ability when he needed an advantage. This special ability is too worthless if it is used all the time. Besides, I cannot always depend on my special ability throughout my life. It is unnecessary to be so careful all the time.

Yang Ming pushed the door open, and his heart leaped when he saw Wang Ruoshui in the room! His original plan was to talk to Wang Songshan about helping them to solve their immediate problems, and then while he was at it, talk about breaking off the engagement. Then, he would have Wang Songshan deal with Wang Ruoshui. It would be fine as long as he was not forced into a duel.

He didn't expect Wang Ruoshui to be there. It saved a lot of trouble. He would just say it openly. Wang Ruoshui likely had no reason to reject, so there was no need to go through Wang Songshan and create new problems.

"Uncle Wang, Senior Wang Ruoshui, you are all here!" Yang Ming politely greeted both of them, then entered the room and closed the door.

"Little friend Yang Ming, why did you at this hour? What seems to be the matter?" Wang Songshan looked at Yang Ming suspiciously, not knowing the purpose of his present visit.

Wang Ruoshui no longer acted displeased with Yang Ming since she knew the truth. Instead, there was a touch of softness in her eyes. Wang Ruoshui would have welcomed him with a smile if not for the family's unresolved crisis.

"Uncle Wang, this visit is to negotiate a deal with you!" Since Yang Ming had decided to call off the engagement, he would have nothing to do with the Butterfly Family after this matter. So, Yang Ming did not beat about the bush but mentioned his objective straightaway. He also did not bother with his position as a junior after appearing here.
