Lin Ke, throughout the entire process, sat beside Lu Fan, appearing as docile as a girl next door.
Just as everyone was getting up, Elder Zhou came running in from outside, his expression quite flustered, with streaks of blood on his face.
"What's going on?" asked the Han family head, "Why are you in such a sorry state?"
"Someone from the Yun family is here!" Elder Zhou quickly replied.
He had tried to block them outside earlier, but unfortunately, the Yun family had too many experts. Despite his best efforts, he couldn't resist them, which led to his current state.
Han Qiushui frowned. He hadn't expected the Yun family to show up at this time.
Old Master Han frowned, showing some apprehension towards the Yun family.
"You didn't even send an invitation to Miss Han's birthday banquet. I almost missed it."
A handsome young man strode in, exuding a powerful aura. Beside him were several white-haired elders whose presence suppressed the entire venue, making everyone in the Jin Xuan Hotel dare not move rashly.
"So it's Young Master Yun!" The Han family head stood up and cupped his fists, "May I ask why Young Master Yun has come?"
"Han family head, you know perfectly well why I'm here."
Yun Bei looked at Old Man Han, "The two families agreed to a marriage engagement back then, but the Han family has been reluctant to fulfill it. Now, you haven't even invited me to Miss Han's birthday banquet. Isn't that unreasonable? After all, she is my fiancée!"
"Don't spout nonsense!" Han Qiushui's face turned ashen, "The marriage was never finalized, and the Han family never agreed. How can I be your fiancée? Did you come to Jiangbei just to slander my reputation?"
"Qiushui, I am deeply in love with you, how can I turn a blind eye?" Yun Bei said repeatedly, "Back then, Old Master Han sought the Yun family's help, which led to the engagement contract. Has the Han family head forgotten so quickly?"
"There was indeed such a matter!" The Han family head nodded, "But this marriage was called off earlier. Young Master Yun is likely well aware of this. Today is Qiushui's birthday banquet. I hope Young Master Yun can give the Han family some face."
"Han family head, you jest. I am here today to celebrate a birthday, not to cause trouble," Young Master Yun said with a smile, "I hope the Han family head doesn't get agitated!"
"I just said, Qiushui's birthday has nothing to do with you!" The Han family head said coldly, "I hope you understand. I don't want to say it a second time. You should know that the relationship between the two major families is like fire and water. If you insist on this, you are provoking the entire Han family!"
"How can the Old Master say that? If you say that, aren't you disrespecting my Yun family? Regardless, my Yun family is also a martial arts family, and we are not weaker than your Han family," one of the white-haired elders spoke up.
Old Master Han's face turned ashen. He never expected the Yun family to be so overbearing, completely disregarding him. Otherwise, they wouldn't have said such things.
"Yun Bei, I don't like you, and you don't have any feelings for me. Don't think I don't know," Han Qiushui said coldly, "I hope you'll be rational. If you truly want to annex the Han family, I will accompany you to the end and will never let you have your way."
"How could I want to annex the Han family? I just like you," Yun Bei said with a smile, "Besides, my purpose in coming here today is to let you know that my feelings for you will never change. In three days, the Yun family will come to the Han family to propose. I hope you will accept."
Han Qiushui frowned. She never expected Yun Bei to say this. If that were the case, how could their Han family refuse? After all, the Yun family had martial arts grandmasters, and they were not something their Han family could deal with.
"Young Master Yun, today is Qiushui's birthday. You are speaking so outrageously here, isn't that too much?" Old Master Han frowned, "You should know that this matter is far from as simple as you think. If you truly want to be enemies with the Han family, our Han family will not stand idly by."
"Han Old Master, please rest assured, the Yun family will never be enemies with the Han family. Moreover, the Yun family will become in-laws with the Han family in the near future. How could the two families have disputes?" Yun Bei said with a smile.
The reason he was so arrogant was that he had the backing to be so. He had brought many Yun family experts to Jiangbei this time, so even if the Han family experts wanted to make a move, he showed no fear.
Old Master Han was quite angered. His Han family was ultimately too weak, otherwise, they wouldn't be bullied like this. Now that the Yun family members had arrived at the banquet hall, he didn't dare to act rashly, because he knew very well that once they acted, it would bring disaster to the Han family.
"Yun Bei, must you push things to this extreme?" Han Qiushui said with a cold face, "There are many guests here today. Do you have to slap the Han family in the face in front of them?"
"Do these people present even deserve to be called guests?" Yun Bei said with a faint smile, "These ordinary people are simply not worthy of being compared to martial arts families!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the expressions of everyone in the banquet hall instantly turned ugly. However, not a single person dared to make a move. They were just ordinary people, and even facing the Han family, they had to bow and scrape. Moreover, this young man before them was from the Yun family of Jiangdong, someone they simply couldn't afford to offend.
Despite this, many people harbored resentment, and even dissatisfaction towards Yun Bei. They never expected Yun Bei to speak so outrageously, disregarding everyone. There were thousands of guests present.
The elders behind Yun Bei stood silently, not stepping forward to intervene. Perhaps this was the foundation of a powerful family.
"Even if this old man dies, I will not let my granddaughter marry into the Yun family."
The Han family head said coldly, "Do you understand what I'm saying now?"
"Old Master, don't rush. Please go back and consider it," Yun Bei said coldly, "My Yun family is the strongest family in Jiangdong. I hope you will think twice."
"No need to consider!" Old Man Han said coldly, "If the Yun family truly wants to make a move, the Han family will definitely fight back!"
"Old Master, if you speak like that, it's not appropriate." Yun Bei held his wine glass, and it quietly turned to dust.
Old Master Han showed no fear, "I already said earlier, if you want to fight, let's fight. Now, please leave the Jin Xuan Hotel, or don't blame the Han family for being impolite!"
Yun Bei narrowed his eyes, showing no intention of leaving.
As the young master of the Yun family of Jiangdong, he had personally come to the Jin Xuan Hotel today. How could he leave so easily?
Lu Fan sat in the main seat, silently observing everything. He couldn't stand the Yun family's arrogance, but since the Han family had the ability to resolve it, Lu Fan wouldn't easily intervene.
"My grandfather is already angry!" Han Qiushui said, "You should leave the hotel first!"
"I traveled a long distance to come here specifically for your birthday. How can I leave so easily?" Young Master Yun sneered.
"Yun Bei, don't go too far," Han Qiushui threatened, "This is not Jiangdong, but Jiangbei. If you want to cause trouble here, the Han family will absolutely not agree!"
