Chapter 535: Chapter 535 Bold Yan Wu

Lu Yanwu’s blunt words completely stiffened Liu Xu’s expression on his face.

Liu Xu had anticipated that Lu Yanwu might reject him, but he had not expected that the girl next door, whom he had cherished since childhood, would so thoroughly disrespect him, especially in front of so many people.

The attendees were either current authorities of the Nine Gates of Yandu, future authorities, or exceptional youths.

He had no doubt that, after the banquet ended, news of Lu Yanwu publicly rejecting him would spread throughout the upper social circles, and he would become the laughingstock of many.

"Lu Yanwu!"

Liu Xu’s face twisted in anger as he stared unrelentingly at Lu Yanwu and said, "In obedience to our parents’ decree and the matchmaker’s word, since the Lu family has already decided to marry you to me, it doesn’t matter whether you like me or not, you’re destined to marry only me this lifetime!"

"Sss~"

Lu Yanwu gasped in pain and, her eyes red, said to Liu Xu, "You’re hurting me. Could you let go of me first?"

"No!"

Liu Xu bluntly refused.

After saying this, he disregarded the disapproving looks from the guests and forcefully pulled Lu Yanwu by the hand and moved forward.

Lu Yanwu screamed in pain, "Let go of me! Liu Xu, let go of me now!"

However, Liu Xu, as if he hadn’t heard Lu Yanwu’s cries of pain, continued to tightly grasp her hand and approached Lu Yaosheng.

"Grandfather Lu, please forgive my impudence. I must ask you a question, do you agree to let Lu Yanwu marry me?"

Liu Xu gazed intently at Lu Yaosheng and said, "If you agree, even if Lu Yanwu disagrees, from today on, she is my woman!"

"If you don’t agree, I will let go of her right now and never bother Lu Yanwu again."

The guests were all stunned by Liu Xu’s actions, none of them had expected Liu Xu to speak in such an impulsive manner to Lu Yaosheng.

However, considering the scene where Liu Xu was publicly rejected by Lu Yanwu, they could understand him.

Liu Xu was already a standout among the young generation of the Nine Gates of Yandu, already an Energizing Skill Grandmaster at a young age, soon to become a member of the Grandmaster Battle Team, with a limitless future.

If not for Liu Xu’s affection for Lu Yanwu, he would have married a woman from another of the Nine Gates long ago.

Over the years, it’s not as if other Nine Gates hadn’t approached the Liu Family with marriage proposals, but Liu Xu had refused them all.

Lu Yaosheng frowned, very displeased with Liu Xu’s public coercion.

But thinking of Liu Xu’s future, and considering that Liu Xu’s father, Liu Hanwen, had already advanced to the King Realm, he had to suppress his discontent.

"How could Grandfather Lu go back on a promise?"

Lu Yaosheng said expressionlessly, "Since I have already announced publicly to marry Yan Wu to you, then after today’s engagement feast, Yan Wu will be your wife, and you will be my son-in-law of the Liu Family!"

Lu Yanwu’s face instantly turned pale, having already escalated the situation to this point, she couldn’t believe that her highly respected Great Uncle still intended to marry her to Liu Xu.

"Great Uncle, I have already said, I have a man I love, and I will marry no one but him in this life, even without him, I would never marry Liu Xu!"

Lu Yanwu, with tears in her eyes, looked at Lu Yaosheng and said loudly.

"Slap!"

Lu Yaosheng raised his hand and delivered a hefty slap to Lu Yanwu’s face, leaving a clear handprint, with a trace of blood at the corner of her mouth.

Lu Yaosheng roared, "You wretched thing, are you trying to anger me to death?"

Tears poured out of Lu Yanwu’s eyes, she bit her red lips and stared resolutely at Lu Yaosheng, her face filled with indescribable disappointment.

She had planned to resolve the matter herself, yet she never expected such a fate.

Lu Yanwu wiped her tears and with swollen eyes, stared at Lu Yaosheng and asked, "Grandfather, do you really not consider my feelings at all?"

Her face was devoid of any emotional fluctuation, and her expression was even somewhat dazed, her tone very calm.

For some reason, looking at Lu Yanwu’s demeanor, Lu Yaosheng suddenly had a bad premonition.

But he knew that today, if he didn’t give the Liu Family a satisfactory explanation, the Lu Family might seriously offend the Liu Family.

Although the Lu Family and the Liu Family were both part of the Nine Gates of Yandu, he had already learned that Liu Hanwen had broken through to the King Realm and there was also the promising Liu Xu; it could be said that the future of the Liu Family would be incredibly strong.

Thinking this, he sneered and said, "Your feelings? If you weren’t lucky enough to be born in the Lu Family, could you have your current wonderful life?"

"Do you know how many beautiful young women in Yandu want to marry Liu Xu but can’t achieve their desires? Liu Xu loves only you, yet you are so ungrateful."

"By acting this way, are you being fair to Liu Xu’s love for you? Are you being fair to the Lu Family’s nurturing of you?"

Lu Yanwu suddenly laughed, her eyes void of any emotion, slowly filled with hatred.

Her gaze gradually turned cold, and staring at Lu Yaosheng, she said, "Who wants to marry Liu Xu is their business, Liu Xu liking me is his own business, being born in the Lu Family was not within my control."

"Don’t you think your argument is extremely laughable? According to your logic, should everyone born in the Lu Family become a sacrifice for benefiting others?"

"If that is the case, then if someday someone wants your head to grant the Lu Family greater favors, would you also willingly go to your death?"

The silence was shocking!

Lu Yanwu’s words directly stunned everyone, even the Family Heads of the Nine Gates of Yandu stared at her in disbelief.

What a sharp-tongued girl.

"How presumptuous!"

Lu Yaosheng trembled with anger, a terrifying pressure emanating from him and pressing towards Lu Yanwu.

Liu Xu, feeling this pressure, suddenly sneered and then released Lu Yanwu’s hand, stepping back several paces.

"Kneel!"

Lu Yaosheng roared.

"Bang!"

Lu Yanwu’s knees directly hit the ground hard, stunning the crowd as the marble beneath her shattered.

The fresh blood flowing from her knees stained countless fragments.

Her knees were in extreme pain, yet she remained silent; her tightly furrowed brows and the sweat oozing from her forehead told everyone how much pain she was in.

Even so, she defiantly met Lu Yaosheng’s gaze with no sign of backing down.

"Lu Yanwu, do you realize your mistake?"

Lu Yaosheng asked angrily, not waiting for Lu Yanwu to respond, he continued, "As long as you admit your mistake and agree to marry Liu Xu, I will forgive your previous insolence."

"Heh~"

Lu Yanwu laughed sarcastically, fearlessly staring at Lu Yaosheng and said, "With you as such a foolish Family Head, the Lu Family will sooner or later decline to the point of being kicked out of the Nine Gates of Yandu."

Everyone was stunned, Lu Yanwu actually dared to speak such rebellious words to Lu Yaosheng, was she crazy?

"You are seeking death!"

Lu Yaosheng completely lost his temper, and in a blur, he was in front of Lu Yanwu, raising his hand to fiercely strike down on her head.

Even though she knew she would die in the next second, Lu Yanwu’s eyes showed no fear, but mockery and a thick hatred.
