Han Yanzhi shed tears and muttered to herself, "I have devoted myself entirely to the interests of the family, pouring my heart and soul into the Jinyue Hotel. I have made it thrive, and yet you say to hand it over, and you want to hand it over just like that. Do you not fear that our Han family's entire fortune will be ruined? You treat men better than women, but there must be a limit to this! Do you really want your old age to end up on the streets?"
Han Shichang was so angry that he was enraged, "Lan Yanzhi, don't scare people here with exaggerated tales. Even if I lose my fortune, our Han family has so many industries. It's impossible for me to lose them all. You'd better think about how to help me get money by marrying into the Tan family."
Mo Wenjie laughed at the words, "This is truly a rare oddity. Selling someone and still wanting to keep bleeding them dry. You've made quite the beautiful dream, a real master of the dream world."
Han Shichang angrily said, "I haven't even found you to settle accounts yet, and you dare to challenge me? Don't think Han Yanzhi can protect you. You are the master of the dream world, but she herself can't even take care of it, let alone protect you. Don't joke around! Three Uncle will have people deal with him for me."
At that moment, Han Yanzhi didn't know what had possessed her. She stood in front of Mo Wenjie in an almost automatic reflex. "I'm here today, and no one can touch him," she declared, not fully comprehending her actions. Her motivation might stem from frustration with the family and a lack of outlets for dissent, making it advantageous to protect him as a point of resistance against the family. Without hesitation, she positioned herself in front of Mo Wenjie. It was unlikely she would defend someone she barely knew, but she reasoned there was no point dwelling on it. Even if he turned out to be lucky.
Han Shichang looked at Han Yanzhi, and in this situation, she dared to defend Mo Wenjie, which was almost enough to make him die of anger. "Are you sure you want to defend this little punk?" he demanded. "Do you know him from before? Is he an old flame of yours? He dares to bring a beauty here, and you can't tolerate it? What does he have that's so good that you would follow him willingly, even if it means turning your head into a field of grass? Han Yanzhi, are you really that thirsty? I'll call Tan Weijiang right now and let him see how his woman looks in someone else's arms. I want to see if he can strip this little punk alive." With that, he took out his phone and called Tan Weijiang.
Seeing the situation, Han Yanzhi was also internally frustrated. How did things end up like this? It seems that today wasn't his lucky day, but rather a very unlucky one. My unintentional mistake might cause you to regret it for the rest of your life. No matter, this is his fate. I'll just give him some money as compensation.
Mo Wenjie was a two-timer, which made me get into unnecessary trouble! Why couldn't you just watch the show without getting involved? Why did you have to stick up for me? Now the trouble in front of us hasn't been solved yet, and a new one is on its way. How unlucky can I be!
Qingxia giggled, "Master, this girl is pretty good. I think she can be added to the seventh concubine."
Mo Wenjie gave her a cold look, "What are you talking about? Do you really want to add her to the seventh concubine? Are you out of your mind?"
Qingxia was clearly not pleased with the remark. She shouted back, "How can I be considered as just saying something out of the blue? Although I cannot compete with Ding Qingyao and the other four, at least I can take the sixth position. Han Yanzhi can only be a seventh concubine. Am I wrong in what I said?"
Mo Wenjie rubbed his forehead, "Granny, can't you stop causing trouble? I'm already having a headache. And here you are rejoicing in others' misfortunes. The current trouble hasn't been resolved yet, and another one is about to arrive. Do you even care about the positions of six or seven concubines at this moment?"
Qingxia giggled, "Even their trivial matters can be considered troubles. Their people from Han family could make you afraid. If it weren't for Han Yanzhi's passionate protection of her son, that person would have been paralyzed long ago."
Everyone was shocked when they heard this. It seems Han Shichang was right. Han Yanzhi and this kid have had an affair for a long time, which is why she defends him so passionately. You, Han Yanzhi, are the first beauty in Bian City. Why can't you fall in love with any of the talented young men? Instead, you choose to be the seventh concubine, making us these talented young men feel even more worthless. Do we really have no use?
Han Shichang became even more excited upon seeing this. "I said, Han Yanzhi, why don't you help me? It turns out you really have a thing going on with him. You're truly shameless, to have brought such dishonor to our Han family. Why wouldn't you marry into the decent Tan family but instead choose to be the seventh concubine? Are you that low? Is it his skills that are so good?"
Upon hearing these words, Han Yanzhi's face turned bright red with anger. "What are you talking about, Han Shichang? I've never had an affair with him. I just met him for the first time. How can you slander me like this?"
Han Shichang roared with laughter, "Everyone here has heard it. You are his seventh concubine. Do you really think you can deny it? You think everyone is deaf and cannot hear the truth? Han's Seventh Concubine!"
"Who the hell made Han Yanzhi the seventh concubine?" A young man in a suit and tie walked in through the door, followed by eight black-clad men with sunglasses on. There was no doubt it was Tan Weijiang.
Han Shichang laughed loudly, "Looks like your head is green, Tan Daoren. It's all this kid's fault. What should we do now?"
Tan Weijiang looked at Han Yanzhi, "Is what he said true? Did you really become the seventh concubine of this guy?"
Han Yanzhi was already angry and frustrated, with her claws itching. She couldn't help but express her dissatisfaction to Tan Weijiang. "I am his seventh concubine. What's wrong with that? Is it any of your business? You think you're someone important, but you have no right to interfere in my life. I willingly choose to be his seventh concubine. What can you do?"
Upon hearing this, Tan Weijiang's face turned green with rage. "You little punk, you're looking for death. I Tan Weijiang's woman, you dare to touch? Today, I'll kill you and let it go, or else my anger will never subside. Bring him here and beat him to a pulp! When I'm done tormenting him, I'll make him watch me play with the lowly Han Yanzhi right in front of him. That'll be the last thing he sees before he dies of rage."
Tan Weijiang's bodyguards stepped forward, ready to act.
Han Yanzhi issued an order, "Stop him!"
Han Yanzhi's bodyguards moved forward to block the oncoming threat.
Tan Weijiang was so angry he nearly spat blood. "Han Yanzhi, are you really going to make an enemy of my Tan family? You only have four bodyguards, whereas I have eight. Do you think they can hold them back?"
Han An Ding directed a rebuke at Han Yanzhi's bodyguards, ordering them to retreat. "All of you step back. You are bodyguards of the Han family, not her, Han Yanzhi."
The four bodyguards looked to Han Yanzhi, but they still stood in front of Mo Wenjie, remaining motionless.
Han An Ding saw this situation and was filled with anger. "This is turning against us! You are assigned to protect Han Yanzhi by the family, yet you disobey orders now. You are truly daring and rebellious. I will show you who is in charge today. Bring them in and subdue them."
One of Han Yanzhi's bodyguards spoke up, "Miss, we are only a master, while Master Han San's bodyguards are grandmasters. We are no match for them. Even if all four of us attack together, we won't stand a chance."
Han Yanzhi's face turned extremely ugly upon hearing this. "Then you should leave. I won't blame you. Today, even if I die, I will fight them to the end."
The four bodyguards looked at Han Yanzhi and said, "Miss, we four swear to follow you to the death. If we must die, let it be us."
Han An Ding, upon hearing this, was so angry he jumped up and down in fury. "Go and kill them. Then restrain the missus and let Tan's bodyguards kill that brat. This will calm down Tan Weijiang."
Han Yanzhi's face turned pale upon hearing this. "Uncle Ding, you should leave. This is my fate. I hope you can find a good master in the future."
The four bodyguards in unison said: "We only recognize the missus as our master. Even if it means death, we will protect the missus to the last."
Mo Wenjie clapped his hands and applauded, "What a loyal scene of protecting one's master! It truly moved me."
Han Yanzhi glared at him fiercely, "Can't you just keep quiet? No one thinks you're a mute. This whole mess is because of you. I must have been possessed to come out and protect you. You've gotten me into such a mess. Even Master Ding and the others might not survive today, and here you are rejoicing in their misfortune. Do you know how terrifying a grandmaster can be? There aren't many grandmasters in Bian City, and every top family has one. Think about it, how many grandmasters are there in Bian City? If it weren't for you, just go over there and stay out of it."
Qingxia giggled, "What's there to be afraid of, Little Seven? A grandmaster, alone or all of them together, can't do anything to you. Even if they call all the grandmasters in Long Country, it won't make a difference."
Everyone burst into hearty laughter upon hearing this. The men were mad beyond measure, and the women even more so, without a shred of reason. It was truly fitting for them to be a family!
Han An Ding scolded, "You foolish girl, do you know what a grandmaster is? The power of a grandmaster is terrifying beyond measure. Just saying it will shock you to death."
Mo Wenjie looked at Han Yanzhi, smiling and asking, "Would you like to have a grandmaster as your bodyguard?"
Han Yanzhi glared at him. "Who wouldn't want a grandmaster as a bodyguard? Do you think grandmasters are like cabbage, growing on trees?"
Mo Wenjie didn't get angry upon hearing this. "I don't know if grandmasters are like cabbage, but I do know that as long as I want them, I can have as many as I want."
Han Yanzhi rolled her eyes at him, "You're just blowing smoke. You really don't know how hard it is to find a grandmaster. The Han family has had only one in all these years. They are truly rare, like phoenix feathers and rare whiskers, nonexistent among the top families in Bian City. Who has two grandmasters? Who is the first family in Bian City? Think about how hard it is to find a grandmaster."
Mo Wenjie shook his head, "Just a grandmaster, nothing as exaggerated as you say. As long as you want, I'll give you as many as you need. Consider it the payment for standing up for me."
Han Shichang laughed heartily upon hearing this. "This is exactly what you wanted, Han Yanzhi. Being a man who is a seventh concubine, with a worthless man and his empty talk. What kind of blindness do you have? You say that you want as many grandmasters as you need, like he's some kind of big shot. Look at him, isn't he just blabbering nonsense? His mouth skills are good enough to make you lose your way. This is really disgracing our Han family."
Tan Weijiang was so angry he could hardly control his temper, "You little punk, you ruined my woman and continue to trick her here. You're a real piece of shit. Even if she's a broken flower, she's still the most beautiful woman in Bian City. I'm going to enjoy myself in front of you."
Han Yanzhi's face turned extremely ugly upon hearing this. She wanted to bite Mo Wenjie a few times, "I told you not to talk nonsense, but you wouldn't listen. They all misunderstand me like this, and you're happy about it. My purity is destroyed by you. I really should have known better than to stand up for you."
Han An Ding scolded, "Uncle Huang, why don't you step forward?"
Uncle Huang nodded, "I understand, Master Han San. He approached Han Yanzhi.
Old Ding stepped forward, blocking in front of Han Yanzhi, "If anyone wants to harm the miss, they'll have to go through me first."
Old Huang looked at him and said, "Uncle Ding, you should step aside. You're no match for me. Don't waste your energy."
Mo Wenjie pulled out a Qi Revitalizing Pill and a Blood Nurturing Pill, handing them to Uncle Ding, "Eat these, and you'll instantly become a grandmaster."
Upon hearing this, everyone looked at Mo Wenjie as if he were mad, "With just two little pills, you think you can become a grandmaster? Are you crazy or are we?"
Uncle Ding had no choice at this point. He was going to die anyway, so even if the pills didn't work, what did it matter? He casually tossed both pills into his mouth and instantly felt his aura rising steadily. He quickly sat cross-legged and meditated to stabilize his energy flow. As he focused on the inner world, there was a loud boom as something snapped inside him.
Old Huang exclaimed, "He has broken through! He's really become a grandmaster!"
