Lin Ke sat beside Lu Fan throughout, appearing as demure as a girl next door.
Just as everyone was standing, Elder Zhou stumbled in from outside, his expression quite flustered, a trace of blood on his face.
"What happened?" asked the Han Family Head. "Why are you so disheveled?"
"People from the Yun family are here!" Elder Zhou said quickly.
He had tried to stop them outside, but unfortunately, the Yun family had many experts, and his efforts were unable to resist them, leading to his current state.
Han Qiushui frowned, surprised that the Yun family would appear at this time.
Old Master Han also frowned, holding some apprehension towards the Yun family.
"You didn't even notify us of 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 imposing presence suppressed the entire venue, making everyone in the Jingxuan Hotel dare not make any rash moves.
"So it's Young Master Yun!" the Han Family Head stood up and clasped his fists. "May I ask why Young Master Yun has come?"
"The Han Family Head knows perfectly well why I am here, doesn't he?"
Yun Bei looked at Old Man Han. "The two families agreed on 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 talk nonsense!" Han Qiushui's face turned ashen. "The marriage was not 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 and cannot simply ignore you," Yun Bei said repeatedly. "Old Master Han sought the Yun family's help back then, which led to the engagement agreement. Has the Han Family Head forgotten so quickly?"
"There was indeed such a matter!" the Han Family Head nodded. "However, this marriage was already called off previously, as Young Master Yun is well aware. Today is Qiushui's birthday banquet, and I hope Young Master Yun can give the Han family some face."
"The Han Family Head jokes. I am here today to celebrate a birthday, not to cause trouble," the Young Master Yun said with a smile. "I hope the Han Family Head does not get agitated!"
"As I said earlier, Qiushui's birthday has nothing to do with you!" the Han Family Head stated coldly. "I hope you understand clearly. I don't wish to repeat myself. You should know that the relationship between the two major families is as irreconcilable as fire and water. If you insist on this, you are provoking the entire Han family!"
"How can the old man say that? If you speak like that, aren't you completely disregarding 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 had never imagined the Yun family would 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 feelings for me. Don't think I don't know that," Han Qiushui said coldly. "I hope you can be rational. If you truly intend to annex the Han family, I will see you through to the end and will not let you have your way."
"How could I want to annex the Han family? I simply like you," Yun Bei said with a smile. "Besides, I am here today hoping you can understand that my feelings for you will never change. In three days, the Yun family will come to the Han family to propose, and I hope you will accept."
Han Qiushui frowned, never expecting Yun Bei to say such a thing. If this were truly the case, how could their Han family refuse? After all, the Yun family possessed Martial Ancestors, something their Han family could not contend with.
"Young Master Yun, it is Qiushui's birthday today. Your rampant pronouncements here are going too far," Old Master Han frowned. "You should know that this matter is far more complicated than you imagine. If you truly wish to be enemies with the Han family, my Han family will not sit idly by."
"Old Master Han, please rest assured, the Yun family will never be enemies with the Han family. Moreover, the Yun family will become relatives of the Han family in the near future. How can the two families have disputes?" Yun Bei said with a smile.
The reason for his arrogance was his confidence. He had brought many experts from the Yun family to Jiangbei this time, so he was not afraid even if the Han family experts wanted to make a move.
Old Master Han was extremely angry. His Han family was ultimately too weak, otherwise, they wouldn't be bullied like this. Now that the Yun family members had entered the banquet hall, he dared not act rashly because he knew very well that any action would bring disaster upon the Han family.
"Yun Bei, must you push things to such extremes?" Han Qiushui said with a cold face. "There are many guests present today. Must you humiliate the Han family in front of them?"
"Do these trash present even deserve to be called guests?" Yun Bei said with a faint smile. "Ordinary people like these are simply not worthy of being compared to martial arts families!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the faces of everyone in the banquet hall instantly turned unpleasant. However, not a single person dared to make a rash move. They were merely ordinary people; even facing the Han family required them to be subservient, let alone this young man before them, who was from the Yun family of Jiangdong and someone they could not afford to offend.
Despite this, many harbored resentment and dissatisfaction towards Yun Bei. They had never imagined that Yun Bei would speak so wildly, disregarding everyone present, as there were thousands of guests.
The elders behind Yun Bei stood silently without stepping forward to intervene, perhaps this was the foundation of a powerful family.
"Even if I die, I will not let my granddaughter marry into the Yun family."
The Han Family Head said coldly, "Do you hear what I said now?"
"Old Master, there's no need to rush. Please consider it carefully," Yun Bei said coldly. "My Yun family is the strongest family in Jiangdong. I hope you will reconsider."
"There's no need to consider!" Old Man Han said coldly. "If the Yun family truly wants to make a move, the Han family will surely accompany you!"
"Old Master, if you speak like that, it's not appropriate." Yun Bei held his wine glass, which quietly turned to dust.
Old Master Han showed no fear. "I already said earlier that if you want to fight, then fight. Now, I ask you to leave the Jinxuan 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 in Jiangdong, he would not leave easily after personally coming to the Jingxuan Hotel today.
Lu Fan sat at the main seat, silently observing everything. He couldn't stand the Yun family's arrogance either, but since the Han family had the capability to resolve it, Lu Fan wouldn't intervene easily.
"My grandfather is already angry!" Han Qiushui stated. "You should leave the hotel first!"
"I traveled a thousand miles to come here specifically for your birthday. How can I leave so easily?" the Young Master Yun sneered.
"Yun Bei, don't push it 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!"
