Playing tricks. Through Hong Dali’s jokes and chats, Bei Mingxuan could no longer hold his head up high. Seeing that his ally had suffered such a huge blow, if Zhu Yunzhou did not do anything, the day would end in tragedy. Thus, he promptly stood up.
“Hong Xingyu, I’m here today to talk to you about a previous matter regarding my Ningyu.” As Zhu Yunzhou spoke, everyone’s attention was on him.
“Sister Xiangyu,” Tang Muxin whispered to Hua Xiangyu, “the matter he said regarding Zhu Ningyu, could it be…”
“Yes.” Hua Xiangyu explained to Tang Muxin softly, “A few hundred years ago, my great-grandfather was very close to the then head of the Zhu Family. A friendship of life and death. They got along very well and even arranged a marriage between both families. However, he died in a war and grand-uncle Jun left home forever due to his health. As a result, both families became distant. Later…” Hua Xiangyu paused for a while, looked at Tang Muxin, then sighed helplessly. “Great-grandfather helped the Zhu Family a great deal. He even helped to give advice to descendants after their Head passed on.
“However, as time went by, the Zhu Family and the Bei Family got closer with a few marriage arrangements and became distant with our Hong Family. This generation, because the Bei Family has always regarded us as their number one opponent, the relationship between our Hong and Zhu families suffered as a result.
“Especially this generation. Bei Yuanqing and Zhu Ningyu are both gifted and both families were keen to play matchmakers. At this moment, Big Brother Dali returned, and the marriage that was arranged a few hundred years ago is probably one of the reasons why they are here.”
Hearing that, Tang Muxin’s expression changed. She was enraged. “You mean, they are here to call off the marriage agreement? And the reason is so they can embarrass us?!”
“Yes.” Hua Xiangyu sighed again. “They have calculated it well. First, they used Bei Yuanqing’s matter. Then, they will call off the marriage arrangement fixed a few hundred years ago as an excuse to embarrass the Hong Family. They are really vicious.”
Hua Xiangyu was right.
Bei Mingxuan had used the pornography book in an attempt to shame the Hong Family. Then came the calling off of the marriage arrangement by the Zhu Family. The Hong Family would be thoroughly disgraced.
Otherwise, a marriage arrangement made a few hundred years ago, which no one thought much of, why was there a need to mention this now?
To tell the truth, Hong Dali would never have liked Zhu Ningyu and definitely had no intention of developing any sort of relationship with her. But it became a reason for them to disgrace the Hong Family…
“Hateful!” Although Tang Muxin did not have her eyes on Hong Dali initially, her engagement with Hong Dali was mostly beneficial. At that time, Hong Dali was a prodigal and Tang Muxin felt helpless. However, no matter how much she disliked Hong Dali, she would never have thought of calling off the engagement in front of so many people. She only thought of observing Hong Dali, to see if it was possible for him to improve.
And, it was proven that Hong Dali was not only able to improve, but he was also quite a good person. He might like to squander, but he was indeed a very, very kind-hearted person and very dependable.
Hence, Tang Muxin was willing to give herself to him.
Now, someone actually wanted to call off their marriage arrangement in front of everyone. Even though Tang Muxin always wished for Hong Dali to have fewer women in his life, she could not take this lying down.
This bunch of hateful people, who did they think Dali was?!
Sure enough, at this moment, Zhu Yunzhou had finished talking about the history of both families’ marriage arrangements. He said it so pitifully, as if his Zhu Family was the biggest victim. So many girls waited in vain for Hong Jun to return. When he finally finished his story, he revealed his purpose. “Chief Hong Xingyu, you should already understand why I came today.”
He looked at Hong Dali and grinned. “No matter how unsuccessful the descendants of the Zhu Family are, they cannot possibly marry a prodigal with no ability. I believe you agree with that, right?”
He had finally said his purpose. When Zhu Yunzhou finally finished speaking, everyone was quiet.
This Zhu Yunzhou actually called off the marriage arrangement in public! In public!
One should know it was quite common for marriage arrangements to be unsuccessful. Different temperaments, the difference in age was too big, the difference in ability was too huge. Such things were common. After all, no one was willing for their children to feel aggrieved. Hence, in such situations, both families usually got together in private to call off the arrangement in the most amicable way. Then, they would have a meal together and everyone would be happy.
But to call off the arrangement in public. That meant a completely different thing.
Such a thing would only happen when the other party had no regard for the arrangement at all and wished to disgrace them.
In the history of the royal families, this had happened a few times. Both families, one’s strength advanced tremendously while the other’s fell due to various reasons.

Until finally, the stronger family invited the head of a few families to break off the arrangement in public.
Both families would then fight until the end, which would result in the weaker family to be completely removed from the royal families and disappear forever in history.
Hence, doing such a thing in public was a serious matter. Zhu Yunzhou actually had the guts to do such a thing…
“Zhu Yunzhou,” Hong Xingyu was really smiling through his anger. “You’re good. Very good! Your Zhu Family is very good!” He looked at Bei Mingxuan, then said, “That’s why you mobilized so many people. I was curious why you had turned up together. It seems you were well-prepared to deal a great blow to us in an attempt to replace us. Good calculation, really good calculation. First, you bought a pornography book for 50 million yuan, then you call off the marriage agreement. Hehe. A great man has to be ruthless, indeed!”
In an instant, Hong Xingyu understood the other party’s holistic plans.
It seemed like Hong Dali was just a prelude. Their target was the Hong Family!
“Haha, Chief Hong, you make it sound too serious.” Zhu Yunzhou sneered. “It’s just a marriage arrangement fixed a few hundred years ago. It’s not too much to end it, isn’t it? Don’t tell me you’re intending to realize it?”
Bei Mingxuan grinned. “Hehe, forced to end a marriage arrangement. As a Chief, how will you manage your family in the future?” At this moment, his expression finally softened.
And by this time, everyone’s eyes were focused on Hong Dali.
What kind of reaction would this prodigal have at a time like this?
“Aiya, all of you have put on a beautiful aristocratic show.” Hong Dali appeared calm and was not upset at all. He even clapped his hands and praised them. “You came here to condemn us, put us down arrogantly, call off the marriage arrangement in public, and even crush us with your power. This is perfect. Haha, well done.”
Speaking up to this point, he nodded, satisfied. “Of course, courting death at the same time.”
“Initially, I didn’t have any ill-feelings for both your families.” Hong Dali smiled as he looked around. Then, he said slowly, “I just want to be a happy prodigal quietly, squander and have fun every day. But you had to send yourselves to get disgraced. If I reject this opportunity, wouldn’t I be wasting your good intentions?”
As he spoke, he turned around to face Zhu Yunzhou, sighed gently, and asked calmly, “This Uncle asking to be disgraced, you said you want to call off the marriage arrangement. I want to ask, whose marriage arrangement are you trying to call off? Who are you using to call off the marriage arrangement?”
Hearing that, Zhu Yunzhou appeared unhappy. He suppressed his feelings, frowned, then sneered. “I’m calling off my Ningyu’s marriage arrangement, of course. As for the person, didn’t I already say? It’s you.”
“En, since you are certain about that, it’s easier for me.” Hong Dali nodded his head, satisfied. Then, he shouted, “Xinxin, come out!”
“Here!” Tang Muxin grinned as she emerged from the crowd. She stood beside Hong Dali and wrapped her arms around Hong Dali’s arm coquettishly.
“This is Tang Muxin, she is my fiancée, also my first wife.” Hong Dali glanced at Zhu Ningyu dismissively, then chuckled. “In terms of beauty, the gap between you and my Xinxin is too big.”
Everyone on Hong Dali’s side nodded.
Tang Muxin’s beauty was recognized by the System to have maximum charm. Although there were other women present who were comparable to Tang Muxin, that person was definitely not Zhu Ningyu.
“Although Sister Ningyu is quite beautiful,” Tang Muxin giggled as she stood beside Hong Dali. Everyone was stunned momentarily. This little lass was already beautiful. When she smiled, she was simply mesmerizing. There was no way Zhu Ningyu could be compared with her. Tang Muxin said coquettishly, “it’s a pity, you’re still lacking according to my Dali’s standards.”
Both of them synced with each other as all members of the Hong Dali began to cheer. Hong Xingyu and Hua Yueling nodded in satisfaction. Their wrinkled faces beamed like blooming flowers.
As the saying went, it was not gentlemanly for a man to hit a woman, and it was not too nice for a man to scold a woman.
But when women fought each other, it was the most vicious. Especially when a beautiful lady attacked another woman who was confident in her own beauty, no woman could stand it.
Indeed, once Tang Muxin finished speaking, Zhu Ningyu’s face turned green.
Hong Dali clearly meant that even if she wanted to marry him, he would not have any eyes for her?
How could she take that?
