Chapter 476 - 309: It Has Come to This
Chapter 476: Chapter 309: It Has Come to This
"I ask you, this secret manual... have you practiced it as well?"
When Yan Weiwei saw the "Overclocking Scripture" that Yan Feng brought out, she showed an expression that seemed to confirm her suspicion.
"Yes! I have."
"Was it because of it that you were able to break through to Dark Energy?"
"Yes! You could say that."
Yan Feng immediately became excited.
Before, it was just conjecture, but now it was confirmed,
he felt as if the thin pamphlet made up of a few sheets of paper in his hands weighed a ton.
"Is this thing from Meng Lang?"
"That’s not important! More than that, I want to ask whether you acknowledge our bet," Yan Weiwei immediately changed the subject.
Although she didn’t respond, Yan Feng already had his answer in his heart.
He looked at Yan Weiwei with a complex expression.
"When someone gives you something so valuable out of their own volition, how can I deny our bet?"
Yan Weiwei was stunned for a moment, "What do you mean by that?"
Then she realized what he was implying.
"Hey, hey! Although I welcome your decision to acknowledge the bet, I must clarify that this secret manual has nothing to do with our wager," she said.
Yan Feng was taken aback by Yan Weiwei’s words.
Then he looked at his daughter somewhat helplessly.
"Silly girl, you’re too slow to realize that this secret manual... is clearly prepared specifically for you!"
He couldn’t help but remind her. "Haven’t you noticed that many subtle aspects of this manual are exactly in line with the Yan family’s traditional teachings?"
"Um... I did indeed feel this strange sensation, like reading it was as smooth as silk..." Yan Weiwei reflected thoughtfully.
"How can you still not understand? Given that he’s skilled in medicine, this person must come from a profound family background and be an expert in the meridians of the human body.
You gave him the ’Twelve Road Spring Leg Summary’ of our Yan family, and he used that as a foundation to create this secret manual tailored specifically for you.
And now, he deliberately passed this secret manual, which perfectly fits the Yan family, through Xiao Fan to reach my hands....
Isn’t the message clear enough?
Do you think such a precious item could be shared with the Yan family by someone without any conditions attached?
As they say, one good turn deserves another; having accepted such a valuable gift, is it still appropriate for me to keep you here?
Although he has never stated it plainly, between smart people, there’s never a need to spell everything out..."
Yan Feng showed an expression of mutual understanding, as if to say he understood the other person’s intent.
Pity the heavens, if Meng Lang knew that Yan Feng "understood him" in such a way again, he would definitely be astonished and greatly appreciate Yan Feng’s wild imagination...
Yan Weiwei listened, completely bewildered.
Is... that so?
She really wanted to say it wasn’t the Summary she had revealed...
But setting aside that doubt, her father’s analysis was irrefutable!
Meng Lang’s supposed "commons" were already shaky at best, and no matter how generous, there must be limits, right...?
Could it be, did that guy really do all this for me...?
Seeing Yan Weiwei’s complex expression, Yan Feng couldn’t help but pat her shoulder and reflected.
"Weiwei, he didn’t tell you directly because he probably didn’t want you to feel indebted to him.
By doing this, he’s helped you and yet doesn’t wish to impose any obligations... his considerations are profound!
At first, I didn’t like him very much, but after observing him over this period, I’ve realized I misunderstood him.
This man is capable, unassuming, strategic, and yet open-hearted.
The fact that he’s gone to such lengths to help you while also considering your feelings... is truly rare!
So, if it’s him... I wouldn’t be opposed."
"Uhh..." Yan Weiwei’s expression turned somewhat uneasy.
"What are you saying! He and I are just ordinary friends, not what you think!"
"Ordinary friends?" Yan Feng smirked.
Would an ordinary friend go to such lengths for you?
"Alright, I won’t meddle in the affairs of you young people. In any case, I acknowledge the bet is valid, and I won’t interfere with you for three years.
Moreover... if during this time, you get a marriage license with him, even if he doesn’t join our family, I’ll give you another three years!
If you can have a son with him, and he takes the surname Yan... then no matter what you do, I won’t interfere with you again!"
Yan Weiwei: "..."
If it had been before, and Yan Feng had said this in front of her, she would have definitely lost her temper!
Am I just a tool for passing on the family name?
But now...
That fleeting moment of heartbeat made her wish she could disappear into a crack in the ground!
"Do you have to be like this when selling your daughter? You used to treat me like a treasure, but now you seem eager to give me away even if it means paying someone to take me?"
Yan Weiwei said with a face full of embarrassment and annoyance, attempting to cover up her brief moment of heart-flutter.
"Hehe!" Yan Feng chuckled.
As a father, he wasn’t oblivious to Yan Weiwei’s interest in Meng Lang.
But this was exactly what he hoped for.
"Weiwei, I have to remind you, if you miss this chance, there won’t be another.
Such an outstanding man definitely has no shortage of women around him.
Just like in a martial arts match, you mustn’t hesitate or be soft-hearted, once you back down, you only stand to lose!
If you want to win, you must give it your all; sometimes, you may even need to use extraordinary measures, even if your opponent is a close friend..." Yan Feng hinted meaningfully.
Yan Weiwei: "..."
Seeing her silent, Yan Feng sighed.
"Sigh! Weiwei! I admit I have my own selfish reasons for wanting you to be with him, not just for your sake but also for the Yan family’s future, after all...
A man that can casually produce a manual that enables one to break through to Dark Energy...
Such a person is certainly extraordinary.
I’m already getting old, my health isn’t what it used to be, who knows when I might suddenly pass away.
"If you could form a marital alliance with him, our Yan family would not only be glorified but could definitely ensure its prosperity for a century."
"Even if this old man were to pass away now, I would do so with a smile in the netherworld..."
Yan Weiwei wore a strange expression on her face.
She had long since grown used to her old man’s character, always focusing on the family’s interests.
Faced with her old man who even mentioned "smiling in the netherworld," Yan Weiwei found herself without the mood to argue with him.
She could only express herself somewhat speechlessly.
"Who told you this is a manual for breaking through to Dark Energy?"
"Huh? Didn’t you just break through?" Yan Feng asked, somewhat puzzled.
If this manual wasn’t for breaking through to Dark Energy, then what else could it be for?
"Hehe!"
Yan Weiwei didn’t plan on revealing the truth. Just a manual concerning Dark Energy was enough for Yan Feng to come up with the idea of a "marital alliance." If he knew that this manual led directly to transforming energy...
Given his way of doing things, who knows what kind of outrageous act he might commit...
"Hmm..."
Watching Yan Weiwei, who smiled without saying a word, Yan Feng fell into deep thought...
...
The next morning.
The train station.
"Here! This is for your parents, consider it a little thank-you gift from me."
Meng Lang accepted the gift box from Yan Weiwei, looking puzzled.
"A thank-you gift? For what?"
"Um... for helping me with the mountain climbing and stuff..." Yan Weiwei turned her head away, slightly embarrassed.
"Didn’t I thank you before? Why are you thanking me again? That’s too polite of you, isn’t it?"
"Just take it if I give it to you, why so many questions?!"
Meng Lang was taken aback. Even giving a thank-you gift could be so domineering?
"Sister Weiwei, are you really not going with us?" Xiao Yu stepped forward to hug Yan Weiwei, her face full of reluctance.
"Yeah! It can’t be helped, but no worries, we’ll be able to meet back in Su City in a few days!
Have a great time, and Haitang, remember to take lots of photos of Xiao Yu for the group chat.
Wuwu~ Just thinking about not seeing my cute little Xiao Yu for several days makes me want to keep her by my side, come here Xiao Yu, let your sister nuzzle you! Mua~"
"Giggle! That tickles!"
Yan Weiwei peppered Xiao Yu’s face with kisses and cuddles, provoking a fit of giggles, as if to dispel the sadness of their temporary parting.
"The train doors are about to close, please board quickly if you have not done so..."
"You better get on board! Have lots of fun!"
Outside the train doors, Yan Weiwei waved goodbye to everyone, her smile as carefree as ever...
Yet, a barely noticeable tinge of loneliness in her eyes stirred a strong sense of guilt in Lin Haitang’s heart...
At that moment, she seemed to make a certain resolution...
Meng Lang glanced at Yan Weiwei, who appeared normal, and then at Lin Haitang with her complicated expression.
He felt completely helpless in his heart.
He was just a straightforward guy, incapable of deciphering the complex emotions of others, but you cannot ignore the obvious things written in the guide...
Ignorance can be regrettable, but at the same time, it can also be bliss.
He was keenly aware that the moment the three of them stepped on this train, everyone was heading towards a different life...
And life doesn’t offer round-trip tickets, once you set off, there’s no turning back...
"Woosh~" A bullet train sped past on the opposite track.
The wind it raised fluttered Yan Weiwei’s long black hair on the platform, making her seem all the more isolated and alone...
"Competing with Haitang over winning or losing... seems truly impossible after all..." Yan Weiwei sighed inwardly.
But the next moment, Yan Weiwei felt a tight grip on her wrist.
"Eh?"
Before she could react, Yan Weiwei found... she had been pulled onto the train...
"Pssht~" Almost simultaneously, the train doors slowly closed...
"Eh?!!!"
Lin Haitang and Xiao Yu inside the train also widened their eyes, stunned by the scene unfolding before them.
Yan Weiwei stood there for a long time, finally realizing what had just happened.
"You... you’re crazy!" She looked at Meng Lang in astonishment.
"Cough! I just thought, since Xiao Yu’s mountain climbing team set out together, it’s best if we return as a team as well," Meng Lang said, clearing his throat.
"Does that even count as an explanation?!" Yan Weiwei felt she was about to go insane.
"Yeah! I think it’s a good idea, I support Meng Lang." Suddenly, Lin Haitang, who had come to her senses, spoke up.
Xiao Yu paused for a moment, then jumped up in excitement.
"Right! I support Uncle too!"
Meng Lang immediately smiled, spreading his hands helplessly.
"You see, it’s three votes to one, so if you oppose, we can only take note of your opinion."
"I..." Yan Weiwei was speechless.
Seeing the three of them bent on taking her with them come what may, Yan Weiwei could only give in to her helplessness.
"Here! The gifts for my parents, you should give them yourself."
Knowing Yan Weiwei’s pridefully temperamental character, Meng Lang didn’t hesitate to hand back the gift bag she had given him earlier.
"Mmm..."
Suppressing the inexplicable little thrill that welled up in her heart, Yan Weiwei tried to maintain her composure, pouting her lips to hold on to her last bit of stubbornness.
"But... but I don’t have a ticket!"
Meng Lang sighed helplessly.
"What can we do now? Just get on the train and buy the ticket later..."
