Fearing further misunderstanding, he quickly took out the marriage certificate given to him by the Daoist in green and handed it directly to the patriarch of the He family. He said,
"Uncle, I won't beat around the bush with you. I'm not here to ask for your daughter today; I'm here to break off the engagement!"
"Look, I have the marriage certificate ready. As long as you agree, I can immediately set your daughter free!"
"You see, I've never met your daughter. It's really not appropriate to suddenly bring the two of us together!"
"It's better to dissolve the engagement, and your daughter will be free from then on!"
"Uncle, what do you think?"
Ye Fei smiled, looking at him with anticipation.
"No, how can that be!"
"As the saying goes, parents' orders, matchmaker's words!"
"Unless your master comes over and personally proposes to dissolve my daughter's engagement with you, I won't agree!"
This decisive refusal left Ye Fei stunned.
He really couldn't understand why this was happening.
Could it be that he was really that desirable?
Ye Fei looked as if he was questioning his own life.
"Nephew, don't say anymore."
"I've already verified the marriage certificate just now, and it's indeed real."
"Since that's the case, you are my future son-in-law. Let's not go home until we're drunk tonight!"
"When my daughter returns, I'll introduce you. Feelings can be cultivated over time."
"Don't worry, I only recognize you as my son-in-law!"
The patriarch of the He family directly and unilaterally acknowledged Ye Fei's status.
This left Ye Fei amused and exasperated.
He had originally come to break off the engagement, but he never expected to be so firmly established as the He family's son-in-law.
Seeing the resolute expression of the patriarch of the He family, Ye Fei knew that the possibility of breaking through from his side was extremely slim.
He could only sigh and put the marriage certificate back.
After chatting for a few more words, the patriarch of the He family directly left the He residence and headed to his company.
Ye Fei felt bored staying alone at the He family's place and was about to go out for a walk. Before he could leave, he encountered a middle-aged woman dressed in a fitted long dress, adorned with jewelry, followed by two men in black carrying large bags.
"Come, put all today's spoils into my walk-in closet!" httpδ:/m.kuAisugg.nět
"I'm exhausted."
The richly adorned woman was none other than the wife of the patriarch of the He family, Zhao Die.
Ye Fei happened to run into her.
Ye Fei's ostentatious attire would have undoubtedly surprised anyone meeting him for the first time. The gems almost blinded people.
"Who are you?"
"Why don't I know you?"
Zhao Die was someone who judged others by their appearance. Facing Ye Fei, she showed no pleasant expression.
At this moment, the butler explained the situation again.
As soon as Zhao Die heard that Ye Fei was her daughter's fiancé, her smiling face instantly changed by 180 degrees. She turned grim, and her gaze was filled with disdain.
"Someone like him is worthy of being my daughter's fiancé?"
"It's simply wishful thinking!"
"My daughter is stunningly beautiful. How can she be matched with someone who has no background or connections!"
"I disagree!"
"I will never agree to this!"
Ye Fei couldn't help but roll his eyes, then retorted angrily.
"Don't worry, we're on the same page. I'm here to break off the engagement!"
"I have no interest in your daughter; I already have someone I like!"
"If it weren't for the old man arranging this engagement behind my back, do you think I'd have the leisure to come here?"
"Since you also don't want your daughter to marry me, then quickly persuade your family to return the marriage certificate to me, and we can all be happy!"
Although Zhao Die looked down on Ye Fei, she couldn't tolerate Ye Fei taking the initiative to break off the engagement!
She then angrily shouted again.
"Young man, our He family is a prominent figure in Jiangcheng, and my daughter is exceptionally beautiful. Those who pursue her could line up outside the city!"
"If the engagement is to be broken, it should naturally be us who break it!"
"It will be convenient for me to arrange a marriage for my daughter after the engagement is broken."
"If you're sensible, don't bother us again!"
Zhao Die's words struck Ye Fei as incredibly amusing.
After all, his master was the Daoist in green!
There's no point arguing with a fool.
Ye Fei couldn't be bothered to argue with her. He had originally intended to stay at the He family and move out after the engagement was broken. Now, it seemed he didn't want to be under the same roof as this woman for even a minute.
Bidding farewell to the butler, Ye Fei directly exited the main gate of the He family.
"What should I do now!"
"When the patriarch returns, I won't be able to explain!"
The butler was also troubled.
Meanwhile, after Ye Fei left the He family mansion, he was once again stopped by the two security guards at the main entrance of the Jiangnan estate. He heard them mockingly say,
"Kid, why did you come out so quickly?"
"Were you found out?"
"One should be decent. A toad trying to eat swan meat won't work!"
Ye Fei, already in a bad mood, became enraged upon hearing such remarks and shot a sharp gaze at the two of them.
The gaze, filled with tangible killing intent, froze the two security guards in place, unable to move.
Seeing their fear, Ye Fei withdrew his gaze and walked past them.
The two security guards dared not intercept him; the feeling of having narrowly escaped death still left them in shock.
This kid, though young, had a formidable gaze.
After leaving the villa, Ye Fei immediately found a hotel nearby to stay temporarily.
The night passed uneventfully. Worried about the engagement matter, Ye Fei headed to the He family again early the next morning.
This time, Ye Fei directly called the He family, and the butler led him back to the He residence.
"Mr. Ye, after you left yesterday, the patriarch was furious when he returned."
"Everyone in the household is here today, all waiting for you."
Ye Fei raised his eyebrows slightly and strode into the He family.
As expected, the entire family was seated neatly in the living room, waiting.
Zhao Die's expression, in particular, was quite unpleasant.
As soon as she saw Ye Fei enter, she glared at him angrily.
"Nephew, you've finally arrived!"
"First, I apologize to you. Today, I reaffirm my stance: you are the only son-in-law of my He family!"
"Don't worry, no one will trouble you again!"
Hearing such sincere words, Ye Fei felt a slight stir in his heart.
