Miss Yang, Yang Siqing, along with the butler Yang Wanli, entered the Wang family's living room with their entourage.
Jiang Long and the others looked at Yang Siqing, and their hearts jolted.
They were stunned by Yang Siqing's beauty.
Another peerless beauty.
"You are..." Wang Fa asked, his face darkening, looking at Yang Siqing.
"I am from the Yang family, Yang Siqing!" Yang Siqing declared.
When Wang Xiaoyan saw Yang Siqing, her pretty face immediately became wary.
She clung tightly to Chen Jie's arm, seemingly afraid someone would snatch him away.
Wang Fa knew about the engagement between Chen Jie and the Yang family, but he still asked, "So it's Miss Yang. Miss Yang, this is the engagement between my Wang family and Chen Jie. Whether you agree or not, it doesn't seem to concern us, does it?"
Yang Siqing glanced at Chen Jie and smiled, "Naturally, it concerns me. I assume you're not unaware that Yang Siqing and Chen Jie are engaged?"
As she spoke, Yang Siqing took out a piece of parchment from her pocket and displayed it to everyone.
She looked at Chen Jie and asked, "Chen Jie, do you recognize this marriage contract?"
Chen Jie frowned deeply.
Then, he said calmly, "The engagement between me and your Yang family is off! I have already chosen the Wang family."
"No! I don't agree! The command of parents and the words of a matchmaker, how can it be dismissed so easily? I have come to find you today precisely so you will fulfill our engagement!"
Chen Jie frowned deeply.
It was too coincidental that Yang Siqing would arrive now, of all times, when he was about to get engaged to Wang Xiaoyan!
Moreover, he didn't believe Yang Siqing was interested in him and genuinely wanted to fulfill the engagement, as they had never even met.
"I'm sorry, I don't think highly of you! This engagement, whether you agree or not, will be canceled!" Chen Jie stated indifferently.
"Hahaha... Chen Jie, you won't be getting engaged today!" Yang Siqing declared.
Wang Xiaoyan retorted, "Miss Yang, you are a young lady of status. How can you not understand the principle of mutual affection? Since Chen Jie doesn't like you, why are you still pestering him?"
"Chen Jie has only had a brief interaction with you. I admit Wang Xiaoyan is beautiful, but I am equally outstanding. If Chen Jie were to interact with me, I can guarantee that he would fall for me!" Yang Siqing replied.
"You..."
Chen Jie waved his hand, "Don't mind them. Let's do what we need to do!"
Wang Fa was also displeased. Regarding his daughter's engagement, he was the one to agree or disagree.
Now, an outsider had come to interfere, making him lose face.
He said directly, "Who my Wang family marries is our business. As for marriage contracts, they are outdated customs. Since you, Miss Yang, have a marriage contract, then go and marry according to it. Guards, see them out!"
"Wait!"
Another voice cut in.
Several more people walked in from outside.
Similarly, a woman of extreme beauty, accompanied by a group of subordinates, entered.
"If the Yang family doesn't agree to your marriage, then neither do I!" This stunning beauty approached everyone elegantly and said with confidence.
"And who are you?" Chen Jie frowned, looking at the newcomer.
He already had a vague idea of her identity.
"I am your fiancée, Zhang Xinyan!" Zhang Xinyan said, looking at Chen Jie.
"Oh, I understand. Since you are all here, let's settle things together. The engagement between me and both of you is now void!"
Chen Jie said calmly.
Wang Xiaoyan looked at Chen Jie with emotion.
"No, we don't agree!"
Zhang Xinyan seemed prepared, staring directly at Chen Jie, "What conditions has the Wang family offered you? My Zhang family can offer the same!"
Yang Siqing added, "That's right! My Yang family can too! Chen Jie, fulfill your engagement with me! I can offer you generous terms."
Chen Jie frowned, "This is not about conditions. I am not familiar with you, so I will not marry you!"
Wang Xiaoyan also chimed in, "My Wang family does not welcome you. Leave immediately and don't make trouble for yourselves!"
Yang Siqing smiled, "Miss Wang, we haven't clarified things yet, and you're already asking us to leave? Are you looking down on us?"
Zhang Xinyan added, "Yes, you are Chen Jie's fiancée, but aren't we also?"
"Husband, come, let's go home with us!"
To everyone's surprise, Zhang Xinyan openly addressed Chen Jie as "husband."
Even Chen Jie, usually calm, couldn't sit still.
As for Wang Xiaoyan, she was so furious her nose was about to explode.
This was a direct slap in her face!
She was about to get engaged to Chen Jie, and this woman had the audacity to come to her house and call Chen Jie "husband."
This damn...
Wang Xiaoyan, an elegant beauty, almost lost her temper and swore.
Wang Fa's face also turned grim.
This matter had escalated beyond mere romantic rivalry; it was a public humiliation of the Wang family's honor.
Jiang Long, however, had a peculiar expression on his face.
He was even somewhat excited.
He wholeheartedly supported Chen Jie, and naturally, he was happier than anyone when Chen Jie was liked by women.
If possible, he even hoped Chen Jie would take all these women.
"You are courting death!" Wang Fa said darkly.
"Heh heh, Patriarch Wang, your Wang family is indeed powerful, but this Pingcheng isn't without those stronger than your Wang family. Are you going to have someone make a move against our Zhang and Yang families?" Zhang Xinyan said with a confident smile.
Wang Fa was startled.
His Wang family was indeed the leading power in Pingcheng.
However, the strength displayed by the Ye family last night had shown him that there were many hidden dragons and crouching tigers in Pingcheng, families with extraordinary power.
Many families were not well-known but possessed immense strength.
Yet, with people bullying them at their doorstep, Wang Fa naturally could not tolerate it. He immediately retorted, "Do you think I wouldn't dare?"
"I'll give you ten seconds to disappear from my sight, or I won't be polite, even to you young ladies!"
Wang Fa roared.
"Uncle Wang, let me handle this!"
Chen Jie stood up and looked at Zhang Xinyan and Yang Siqing.
"My master made engagement contracts with your two families back then. I wasn't present, so I don't acknowledge them. Leave immediately, and I won't pursue this matter."
Zhang Xinyan looked at Chen Jie and said, "Rules are rules. Even if you drive us away, we are still your future wives!"
Chen Jie frowned, "What exactly will it take for you to agree to break off the engagement?"
Zhang Xinyan asked, "Do you know what conditions your master agreed to with my Zhang family when he made the engagement contract?"
Chen Jie suddenly understood. So, they were here for the money.
The engagement contract he had with the Wang family stipulated that if it were broken, all his assets would be handed over to Chen Jie.
They must have been worried about this situation.
He thought it unlikely that these two women would be fighting over him, a stranger, out of genuine affection.
Therefore, Chen Jie looked at the two of them and said, "Don't worry, when I break off the engagement with you, I won't take any of your families' assets. Everyone present can be a witness."
Zhang Xinyan paused, then let out a chuckle, "No way, you still want our families' assets?"
