Chapter 211: Bolt from the Blue
Old Master Ji did not beat around the bush and directly stated his true purpose for coming here.
“I want you to marry the Gu Family’s daughter, Gu Qingxi.” Before coming here, Old Master Ji had definitely investigated these matters.
However, Han Wuyu’s heart was filled with questions. Did Old Master Ji know people from the Gu Family? Did he want to provide a protective shield for the Gu Family?
“I’m sorry, I cannot fulfill this condition.” He had Yin Lingyan, and in this lifetime, he could only have her.
Old Master Ji did not speak, but the atmosphere around them clearly began to become somewhat unusual.
Han Wuyu and Old Master Ji remained in a stalemate, neither giving way to the other. Finally, Old Master Ji took a sip of his coffee and then said, “Then I cannot give you the necklace either.”
Han Wuyu smiled without speaking and stood up to leave. Watching Han Wuyu’s back as he walked away without looking back, Old Master Ji sighed. All he could do was this much. As for what came next… it would be left to fate. If the two of them could persevere until the end, that would be wonderful. Everything was up to fate.
After Han Wuyu left. Yin Lingyan also arrived here. The two had just met face to face. Han Wuyu had originally intended to go pick her up. He hadn’t expected her to have already arrived.
Yin Lingyan and Han Wuyu entered the coffee shop side by side. This scene naturally did not escape Old Master Ji’s eyes. Old Master Ji looked at the face that bore some resemblance to that woman, and a trace of tenderness and guilt flashed in his eyes.
Yin Lingyan did not notice Old Master Ji’s presence. She chatted and laughed with Han Wuyu, as if the fragile Yin Lingyan from before had ceased to exist, having grown up overnight.
Everyone must experience some things to gain insight and grow slowly.
Yin Lingyan was no exception. Han Wuyu was very happy about Yin Lingyan’s change. At least this time, she wouldn’t be foolish enough to bear everything alone.
“Xiao Yan’er. Don’t be surprised by what I’m about to say, and don’t blame me for keeping it from you.” Han Wuyu stared into Yin Lingyan’s eyes, his gaze filled with seriousness.
Yin Lingyan nodded. She sat obediently.
Han Wuyu smiled with gratification and began his explanation.
When he was twelve years old, while other children were still cuddling in their father and mother’s arms, he had already left home alone to venture out, encountering a path into the underworld. This also led him to choose the path of the underworld.
He had no regrets about taking this path. At the tender age of twelve, he had already begun endless battles. In the training camp, a single mistake could cost him his young life, but Han Wuyu endured it all.
He still remembered being beaten and ridiculed when he first entered the training camp. A group of people punched and kicked him. He gritted his teeth and persevered. After that, he became taciturn, disliking to laugh or participate in their activities.
Han Wuyu, who was often bullied, was actually the most diligent among them all. As Han Wuyu slowly grew stronger, those who bullied him began to stay far away from him. Once he had the strength, his first thought was definitely revenge.
It was also before preparing for revenge that he befriended Ye Qianyu and Yin Chubei. After dealing with those who had looked down on him, the three of them established their own gang.
Initially, the gang was not well-known, and it grew slowly. With each year of growth, it represented another formidable force in the underworld.
By the time Han Wuyu was fifteen, they had gained some notoriety in the underworld, and the gang was gradually rising to prominence…
