Chapter 18: Chapter 18: You Can’t Do It_1
Ye Ming was standing in the very hall that Xu Ling and Wang Hai were going to use for their wedding ceremony.
Upon seeing Ye Ming’s arrival, Xu Ling naturally assumed that he had changed his mind and had come to find her.
"Ye Ming, just look at yourself. Do you think you’re still worthy of me?"
"Tomorrow, I’ll be getting married right here, and you will never have a chance with me again in your lifetime!"
Wang Hai approached Ye Ming with a smile, exuding the image of a gentleman.
Despite his well-tailored suit, Ye Ming could still smell the strong scent of scum emanating from him.
"Ye Ming, I know what you’re thinking, but if there’s anyone to blame, it’s yourself for being a loser. Don’t have the cheek to say I poached her from you."
"Just look at yourself, standing in this high-end hotel, you’re less presentable than a trash can in the corner."
Faced with the mockery from this shameless couple, Ye Ming’s heart was without ripples.
He simply responded indifferently, "You two really are a perfect match, a pair of despicable creatures."
"To be so proud of winning a piece of trash, your naïve glee is simply laughable."
When it came to verbal sparring, Ye Ming wouldn’t easily back down and delivered a sharp retort on the spot.
Xu Ling’s face darkened instantly, shaking with anger as she pointed at Ye Ming and demanded, "Ye Ming, make yourself clear, who are you calling trash?"
"Are you even worthy of speaking to me? After tomorrow, I will be the young missus of Qianyang Corporation, but you will still be trash, and so will your whole family!"
Wang Hai, equally enraged, rolled up his sleeves and stepped forward, saying, "You damned soul, if you don’t want to die, then get the hell out of here now!"
At the same time, several of Wang Hai’s lackeys who were following him showed their ferocity, ready to take on Ye Ming at any moment.
If this had been before, Ye Ming might have been a little afraid.
But now, not to mention one Wang Hai, even if there were three Wang Hais standing before him, he wouldn’t even blink.
"Wang Hai, have you thought this through? You want to fight me?"
Ye Ming asked coldly.
The anger that had just risen in Wang Hai quenched in an instant.
He remembered his previous encounter and felt a chill in his heart; Ye Ming was no longer an opponent he could tackle.
To save face, Wang Hai discreetly stepped back, trying to appear calm, and said, "You’re just good at fighting, nothing more than a low-level thug. No matter how well you can fight, a woman will never return to you."
"Young Master Wang, let’s not stoop to the level of such trash," Xu Ling, in her syrupy voice, clung to Wang Hai’s arm. "We still have to go check the wedding venue."
Loud enough for Ye Ming to hear, she deliberately said, "For our wedding, I’ve specially bought many precious flowers. Let’s go decorate."
Wang Hai’s mood mellowed a bit, and with a disdainful look at Ye Ming, he sneered and was about to leave.
At that moment, Ye Ming spoke up.
He said lightly, "Your wedding won’t happen, that’s my word."
Wang Hai laughed scornfully and cursed, "Idiot, are you dreaming or what?"
Ye Ming continued, "You might as well wait and see. Our business isn’t settled yet, so how could I let you two get married so easily?"
Ye Ming had asked to borrow the hotel for a few days exactly to cause trouble for Wang Hai and Xu Ling.
How they treated him was still fresh in his memory. He couldn’t forget so quickly, nor would he let it go that easily.
Xu Ling spat out in disdain and cursed loudly, "Who do you think you are? This is the Garden Hotel, a property of the Xu Family from Yanjing."
"You, a nameless lackey, have no say in this at all. Stop trying to act cool, I’m disgusted!"
Xu Ling only thought that Ye Ming was too concerned about her, having been so angered that he started talking nonsense.
Therefore, Xu Ling softened a bit and advised Ye Ming, "Let me tell you, Ye Ming, if you don’t want to die miserably, you better stay calm and composed. This is not the place for you to stir up trouble."
"The wedding of the heir to the Qianyang Corporation is a matter of great importance to the Xu Family, and even Miss Xu herself will be here to bless us on-site. If you cause trouble at this critical moment, you’re the one who will die!"
"Right, my dear?"
After finishing, Xu Ling once again coquettishly turned to Wang Hai with her question.
Wang Hai’s face immediately showed an awkward smile. Everything else he said was true, but the part about Miss Xu personally delivering blessings had been a bluff concocted by Wang Hai to show off.
He just wanted to boost his own face, never expecting Xu Ling to take it seriously.
What he didn’t know was that Xu Ling had long fantasized about living the life of a rich lady.
If she could really connect with the Xu Family, then her brother’s hit-and-run incident could also be dropped, and not only would she attain happiness, but her entire Xu Family could be reunited as well.
Just the thought of it was exciting.
Ye Ming sneered inwardly; this was truly a case of someone bluffing their way into getting caught in the act.
He merely said, "Today I declare here, if you can successfully hold the wedding tomorrow, then I will take your surname!"
After speaking, Ye Ming turned and left without looking back, leaving behind the bewildered couple.
"Idiot! I want to see what tricks he has up his sleeve," Wang Hai spat disdainfully and cursed at the retreating figure of Ye Ming.
Xu Ling wrapped her arm around his, provocatively swaying her body, and asked, "Young Master Wang, you didn’t lie to me, did you? Will Miss Xu really be there in person tomorrow?"
"And about my brother’s incident, it can be resolved, right?"
Wang Hai confidently said, "Of course, for the Qianyang Corporation’s sake, the Xu Family must give face."
Xu Ling obediently nodded her head, leaning even closer and said, "Young Master Wang, you’re amazing. How about we go up to a private room? I still want to..."
...
Ye Ming walked away as leisurely as if he were strolling in a garden, the previous incident not affecting him in the slightest, and in fact, he was somewhat looking forward to what would come next.
At this moment, Xu Lele had appeared by his side, seemingly out of nowhere.
Moreover, she actually took hold of Ye Ming’s hand directly.
To the uninitiated, the two looked like a perfectly normal couple.
"Miss Xu, you..."
Before Ye Ming could say anything, Xu Lele already began to speak, "The Garden Hotel, is it for them that you want it?"
"Um, did you hear everything just now?" asked Ye Ming, somewhat embarrassed.
Xu Lele laughed lightly, showing no concern as she said, "Don’t worry, since that’s the case, I will definitely help you. I’ll accompany you to the wedding tomorrow."
"The Qianyang Corporation has invited me several times, and I’ve ignored them all. Since that’s the case, I might as well take the initiative to go and give them a surprise!"
Ye Ming sighed and said, "Miss Xu, there’s really no need to trouble yourself. After all, I’m not exactly doing this for a good cause."
"An eye for an eye, that’s the style I like!" Xu Lele said in her straightforward manner.
