Chapter 287: Chapter 287: I’m Not Interested in That Man!
Fang Bai knew that as his cultivation level rose, advancing to the next stage would not only require even more diligent cultivation but also the assistance of more cultivation resources.
Although advancing would be much harder than before, the increase in strength once he leveled up would also be significant.
In fact, with Fang Bai’s strength currently equivalent to the early Earth Level in the Ancient Martial World, he was already an invincible existence in the secular world. Even the elders from the Semi-Hidden Sects with years of legacy couldn’t compete against him, only the legendary masters from the Hidden Sects who kept themselves away from the world could contend with Fang Bai.
After spending three days in Zhongzhou City, on the morning of the fourth day, Fang Bai finished washing up and was ready to eat breakfast before returning to Yanjing, when he received a call from Ye Wumei amidst his meal.
In the call, Ye Wumei mentioned that one of her best friends invited her to a large-scale charity auction event in Yanjing, set up to fundraise for the education of impoverished children in mountainous areas.
Ye Wumei, who had always been enthusiastic about charity, happily accepted the invitation. Knowing that Fang Bai was returning to Yanjing today, she decided to hitch a ride with him.
For Fang Bai, having someone to accompany him on the ride home to Yanjing and to chat with along the way so as not to be bored was great, so he agreed without hesitation. As for what to do with the bodyguards from the Ye Family who were responsible for protecting Ye Wumei, Fang Bai did not bother to ask.
"Fang Bai, whose call is that?"
After his son hung up the phone, Yang Mei asked with a curious expression.
"A friend."
Fang Bai picked up his rice porridge and took a sip.
"Sounds like a woman?"
"Yeah."
"How old?"
"In her twenties."
"Is she pretty?"
"Very pretty... Mom, why do you ask? Don’t think too much. We’re just ordinary friends.
"Son, you must not play with two girls at the same time, you’ll hurt Chenyu’s feelings. Chenyu is such a great girl! She is beautiful, her figure is fantastic, and she has an elegant temperament, is gentle, generous, and also a company CEO... I’ve even given her our family’s ’heirloom’! I have settled on her as my daughter-in-law!"
Yang Mei first cautioned her son and then went on to praise Xia Chenyu tremendously.
In Yang Mei’s eyes, Xia Chenyu was the ideal daughter-in-law, hard to find even if you searched with a lantern. Not only was she good to her son, but she was lovely to both of them, and moreover, when they last returned to Fang Temple Town, all their relatives had met Xia Chenyu and everyone was extremely impressed by her.
Hearing that her son was talking to a young and beautiful woman, and that her son had referred to her quite affectionately as "Wumei" "Wumei" during the conversation, Yang Mei thought that her son was not contented with having Xia Chenyu, a gorgeous and wealthy girlfriend, and was fooling around outside, making her somewhat displeased.
Although Fang Gang didn’t speak, he kept nodding, clearly also having decided on Xia Chenyu as their daughter-in-law.
Fang Bai found it funny that just a phone call with Ye Wumei had led to so many assumptions from his parents.
However, he knew his parents were deeply mistaken about his relationship with Xia Chenyu. If he tried to explain that Xia Chenyu was just a friend, not a lover, his parents would probably find it hard to believe. Worse still, they might think he was falling for someone else and then give him a severe scolding.
So Fang Bai decided not to say anything at all, letting his parents provide their heartfelt lectures.
After breakfast, Fang Bai said goodbye to his parents reluctantly, drove to the "Beauty Company" headquarters, picked up Ye Wumei, and set off for Yanjing together.
"What are you thinking about?"
On the way, Fang Bai saw that Ye Wumei was sitting in the passenger seat looking downcast as if she had a lot on her mind and asked with a smile.
"Things that bother me," Ye Wumei said offhandedly.
"What bothers you?"
Fang Bai asked curiously, thinking that she, Xia Chenyu, and he himself had had a blast last night, not returning until midnight. How come, in just one night, something had come up to bother her?
"Life-long matters."
Ye Wumei glanced at Fang Bai and said gloomily, "Early this morning, my mom called me to say that she wants to introduce me to a boyfriend..."
Fang Bai said with a smile, "That’s a good thing, isn’t it! What’s there to be bothered about?"
Ye Wumei gave him a look and said, "But I’m not interested in that guy at all!"
Fang Bai said, "You’re a top-tier superstar and the renowned daughter of the prominent Lingnan Ye Family. The boyfriend your mom introduces to you can’t be that bad, can he?"
"Pfft!"
Ye Wumei showed a dismissive expression and said, "Even though that man comes from a wealthy family and can be considered tall, rich, and handsome, he has a bad reputation among the young generation of our prominent clans. Relying on his little ability, he is arrogant and looks down on everyone; many people dislike him."
"Oh? I wonder which family’s young master could make our Star Ye so distrusting?"
Having stayed in Yanjing for a while, Fang Bai had come into contact with the prominent clans such as the Yanjing Dongfang Family and the Lu Family. He had some understanding of the young masters of those prominent families and couldn’t help asking out of curiosity.
"The Yanjing Wang Family, Wang Dong."
Ye Wumei frowned as she mentioned the name, and a deep sense of helplessness flashed in the depths of her eyes.
At home, Ye Wumei was a filial daughter. Her mother and several family members insisted on her meeting Wang Dong in Yanjing. Not wanting to upset her mother and to shut the family members up, she agreed to make a trip to Yanjing, with the added agenda of attending her best friend’s charity auction.
However, marrying Wang Dong and forming an alliance with the Wang Family was something she was absolutely unwilling to do.
"So it’s him!"
Fang Bai’s eyes narrowed slightly as he pictured a tall, domineering man.
"Do you know him?"
Ye Wumei blinked her beautiful eyes, looking at Fang Bai with confusion.
"Mhm, I’ve met him once before."
During Dongfang Ruhua’s birthday banquet, Wang Dong provoked Fang Bai and ended up at a disadvantage, getting humiliated in public. Later, Dongfang Ruhua’s mother, Lin Ruoxue, intervened to mediate, so Fang Bai did not pursue the matter further.
In his past life, Fang Bai went through myriad trials and millennia of arduous cultivation to finally become the Immortal Emperor. In those ten thousand years, what kind of person hadn’t he seen? It could be said that his skill in reading people was no less inferior to those skilled in physiognomy and divining fate.
Although Wang Dong was tall and had an imposing appearance, Fang Bai could tell at a glance that he was a petty man who never forgot a grudge. He was certainly not a good match for Ye Wumei.
Reflecting on this, Fang Bai casually remarked, "Wang Dong isn’t suitable for you!"
Ye Wumei was taken aback, then chuckled and said, "How do you know Wang Dong isn’t suitable for me? You’ve only met him once, right? Do you know him that well?"
Fang Bai said, "I know a bit about physiognomy. If I say he’s not suitable, then he really isn’t. If you trust me, don’t bother with that Wang Dong. Otherwise, if you come to regret it later, don’t blame me for not warning you in advance!"
