Chapter 63: Who is Fang Yu?

 

This Fang Yu is deliberately toying with him!

Although he had not openly admitted it, his earlier behavior had already revealed something.

Tang Wenyuan glanced around and noticed that many people were looking at him with mocking and teasing expressions.

Tang Wenyuan’s face turned extremely ugly!

This matter should have been a secret known only to him and Liang Rong!

But Fang Yu had made it public!

Perhaps some would believe it, while others would not.

But regardless, the seeds of doubt had already been planted in the hearts of these Tang family members.

In the future, whenever they saw Tang Wenyuan, they would inevitably think of the rumors surrounding him…

Damn it!

That damned Fang Yu! And the Tang Mingde family!

Tang Wenyuan shot a piercing glance at Fang Yu before turning and walking toward the main hall.

“You brat, what you said is defamatory. Expect a lawyer’s letter!” Liang Rong left this parting shot before exiting as well.

“Fang Yu, let’s go out too; the birthday banquet is about to start,” Tang Xiaorou said, her face blooming with joy at seeing Tang Wenyuan and his wife in a predicament.

Tang Mingde looked at Fang Yu with an apologetic expression and said, “Doctor Fang, I’m sorry, my elder brother…”

“It’s nothing; I didn’t take it to heart,” Fang Yu replied.

…

As Old Master Tang entered the main hall, the guests immediately began to present their birthday gifts.

“Old Tang, I come from Huang’s family in Guanglong City. I’m Huang Shaofeng… My grandfather, Huang Tianrong, is unwell and couldn’t come in person. I wish you… this is the birthday gift we prepared for you.” A middle-aged man stepped forward, respectfully handing over a gift wrapped in a decorative box.

“Huang Tianrong has always been in good health; he will surely recover soon. When he does, I’ll invite him over for a drink,” Old Master Tang said with a smile.

Seeing Old Master Tang in such good spirits, many guests looked surprised.

Previously, there had been rumors in Jiangnan that Old Master Tang was gravely ill and on the verge of death.

But now, seeing him in person, he appeared incredibly healthy and full of life, showing no signs of illness whatsoever.

It seemed the previous rumors were just that—rumors.

One family after another came up to present their gifts.

Fang Yu had intended to grab a bite at the buffet in the corner but was pulled back by Tang Xiaorou.

“Stay here with me for a while; it’s so boring and awkward standing here alone.”

“But standing here is even more awkward for me. This is where your Tang family members stand,” Fang Yu said.

Many people had already noticed Fang Yu standing next to Tang Xiaorou.

He was actually standing in the Tang family’s welcoming position!

That spot was usually reserved for the direct descendants of the Tang family!

For an outsider like Fang Yu to stand there, especially right next to Tang Xiaorou, suggested he might indeed be her boyfriend or fiancé!

However, if Tang Xiaorou really had a fiancé or boyfriend, that news would have spread throughout Jiangnan long ago; how could there be no whispers at all?

Especially since this man looked unfamiliar; he didn’t seem to be from any prominent family.

Feeling the many gazes directed at him, Fang Yu frowned slightly.

He really shouldn’t be standing here.

He casually scanned the guests and spotted Ji Rubi among them.

Ji Rubi was also looking at Fang Yu, smiling sweetly.

Fang Yu immediately averted his gaze.

It was too similar; it was just too similar.

Fang Yu looked aside and unexpectedly saw another familiar face.

Qin Yimo.

What was she doing here?

The Qin family was based in Yancheng and should have little connection with the prominent families in Jiangnan.

Soon, Ji Rubi stepped forward to present her gift, respectfully saying, “Old Tang, I wish you blessings as vast as the East Sea and may you have this day every year. This is a golden longevity peach we prepared for you, please accept it.”

“Good, I must visit your home someday and play chess with your old man for three hundred rounds!” Old Master Tang laughed heartily.

As soon as Ji Rubi appeared, there was a stir among the crowd.

Aside from Ji Rubi’s stunning beauty, what surprised everyone even more was that she was actually at Old Master Tang’s birthday banquet.

The Ji family held a status in Jiangnan comparable to the Tang family, both being top-tier families.

The previous relationship between the two families could only be described as average, with little interaction.

But now, the Ji family’s young lady had appeared at Old Master Tang’s birthday banquet.

Was this sending a message that the Tang and Ji families, these two colossal entities, were about to unite?

If these two families truly joined forces, which family in Jiangnan could stand against them?

Everyone present felt a jolt, their expressions filled with shock.

Qin Yimo was the last to step forward to present her gift.

Her appearance also caused a commotion.

Qin Yimo was simply too beautiful; she had a perfect face, skin as white as snow, and a figure that made countless men envious.

Though she was only wearing a work uniform, she overshadowed ninety percent of the women present.

Only Ji Rubi and Tang Xiaorou’s beauty could rival hers.

However, in terms of presence, Qin Yimo was stronger than the other two.

She stood there, exuding an air of aloofness that made her seem untouchable.

“Old Tang, this is a jade Buddha statue my grandfather instructed me to bring you, wishing you good health and lasting blessings,” Qin Yimo said politely.

Old Master Tang stood up, accepting the gift with both hands, and said respectfully, “Thank you for the gift from Old Qin. I haven’t seen him in quite some time and miss him dearly. Once I recover, I will definitely visit Yancheng to thank Old Qin.”

Old Master Tang had been sitting and receiving gifts, but upon facing Qin Yimo, he stood up and spoke with utmost respect.

Moreover, Old Master Tang mentioned Yancheng.

Could it be… that this beautiful woman was from a prominent family in Yancheng?

Thinking of this, everyone present began to look at Qin Yimo with newfound respect.

The families in Yancheng had deep roots and were definitely not to be trifled with.

After Qin Yimo finished presenting her gift and stepped back, she suddenly caught sight of Fang Yu standing to the side.

What was he doing here?

A hint of surprise flashed in Qin Yimo’s beautiful eyes.

Out of politeness, she wanted to step forward and greet Fang Yu.

But at that moment, Old Master Tang had already begun to speak.

“Thank you to all the guests for your gifts. Today is my seventy-fourth birthday, and I, as…” Old Master Tang was speaking when suddenly a commotion of footsteps sounded from outside the hall.

Were there still guests arriving?

Everyone turned to look behind them.

Then, four figures entered the hall.

A man and a woman walked in front, followed by two men dressed in black martial robes.

The woman in front was stunningly beautiful, wearing bright red lipstick, her face exuding both charm and sharpness.

Beside her stood a tall and imposing man, his eyebrows like swords, his gaze sharp, radiating a powerful aura.

As these four entered the hall, a silence fell over the room.

Upon seeing the man and woman at the forefront, everyone’s expressions changed.

Especially Tang Mingde and Ji Rubi, who almost instantly turned pale.

The man and woman were none other than Yang Jian and Yang Yinzhu!

They actually came!

The Yang family had a notorious reputation in Jiangnan for their ruthless and unorthodox methods.

However, due to the outstanding talents of the younger generation, Yang Yinzhu and Yang Jian, the Yang family’s development momentum remained rapid.

Ten years ago, the Yang family could barely be considered a first-rate family, but now they had successfully entered the ranks of top-tier families.

“Old Tang, how could you hold a birthday banquet and forget about our Yang family? After all, we have collaborated before,” Yang Yinzhu said, looking at Old Master Tang with a cold smile.

Tang Mingde’s expression darkened as he stepped forward and said, “Yang Yinzhu, what do you want? Today is a joyous occasion for our Tang family; you…”

Before Tang Mingde could finish, Yang Jian stepped forward.

An overwhelming aura pressed down, making Tang Mingde feel breathless, unable to continue speaking!

“Head of the family!” Tang Si, standing nearby, immediately rushed forward to shield Tang Mingde.

“A mere innate eighth-stage martial artist dares to step forward?” Yang Jian’s face was as cold as iron as he spoke.

He extended his hand and waved it in the air.

“Poof!”

Tang Si spat out a mouthful of blood, flying to the side like a kite with a broken string, crashing heavily against a stone pillar and collapsing to the ground.

“Fourth Uncle!” Tang Xiaorou’s eyes turned red as she screamed.

The other attendees were all shocked, their expressions filled with horror.

Is this the legendary martial arts genius of the Yang family, Yang Jian?

This strength… is terrifying.

Today, the Tang family… is likely to face a major crisis!

Yang Jian’s gaze was sharp as a sword as he glanced at the pale-faced Tang Mingde, then scanned the surroundings, coldly stating, “Who is Fang Yu?”
