These two were none other than the North and South Elders.
"We're done for!" Qiu Shuyun's face turned pale, then filled with despair.
She knew that if Wang Fa wasn't dealt with before the North and South Elders appeared, the plan had failed completely.
Because if there was only one family head, no matter how extreme the two of them were, the North and South Elders wouldn't do much to them.
They only obeyed the family head.
"Damn it! Why were we still a step too late, why!"
Wang Ye also realized this and shot Chen Jie a hateful look.
It was this kid who ruined his plans.
If he hadn't given his elder brother a jade pendant for self-defense, his elder brother would have been dead by now!
"Take them down!"
Wang Fa, his heart still pounding, stood firm and commanded the North and South Elders.
Next, without any suspense, Wang Ye and Qiu Shuyun were directly subdued by the North and South Elders.
Wang Fa no longer panicked, regaining his former imposing demeanor as the family head.
"Congratulations Uncle Wang on quelling the family strife!" Suddenly, Ye Fan said with a smile.
Wang Fa frowned, "Oh? Are you sure you want to congratulate me?"
"Heh, of course. I never expected that the two of them would be so insane as to attack you. If I had known, I would have stopped them."
Ye Fan smiled, "Uncle Wang, could you give me some face? Uncle Wang Er and Aunt Qiu have a good relationship with me. For the sake of my Ye family, let's let this matter go, shall we?"
"Thank you for your concern, Young Master Ye, but the matters of my Wang family will be handled by my Wang family. We don't need an outsider to worry about them."
His words were very clear; Ye Fan was just an outsider to them, let alone hoping to pursue Wang Xiaoyan.
However, Ye Fan seemed not to understand.
Instead, he glanced coldly at Chen Jie and said, "As an outsider, I naturally cannot interfere in your affairs, but Uncle Wang, Uncle Wang Er has just promised me that he will marry Wang Xiaoyan to me. Look, this..."
Wang Fa inwardly sneered.
He had completely understood now. If it weren't for the jade Buddha Ye Fan had given him today, wouldn't he have been in mortal danger multiple times?
And now he wanted to marry his daughter? Wishful thinking.
He rather felt that Chen Jie was a better match for his daughter.
Comparing the two, he felt Chen Jie looked more and more pleasing to the eye.
Bang!
Chen Jie's eyes turned cold, and he directly kicked Ye Fan.
Ye Fan was sent flying backward, tumbling outside the door twice.
Chen Jie said indifferently, "I warned you not to have any ideas about Wang Xiaoyan again. Didn't you take my words seriously?"
Wang Xiaoyan's heart trembled when she saw this.
Was this man so domineering?
Originally, she had publicly announced Chen Jie as her fiancé to protect him.
But Chen Jie seemed to have no sense of being protected, and instead, he was protecting her everywhere.
This made her heart flutter, and her gaze towards Chen Jie was filled with a strange light.
"You uncivilized brute from the mountains, what business is it of yours that I'm pursuing Xiaoyan? She hasn't even spoken, so when did it become your place to interfere!" Ye Fan shouted furiously.
Wang Xiaoyan stepped forward and said coldly, "Chen Jie is my fiancé. How is he interfering?"
Ye Fan said incredulously, "Xiaoyan, are you really going to acknowledge this fiancé who dared to lay hands on your mother?"
Wang Fa said calmly, "Not only does my daughter acknowledge him, but I do too! Young Master Ye, take your jade Buddha and leave my Wang family!"
"Uncle Wang, please don't be angry. I'm saying this out of good intentions. You all calm down first, and I'll come back next time."
Ye Fan clenched his fists, wanting to erupt several times, but he held back.
Finally, he forced a smile at Wang Fa.
"Then why aren't you leaving?" Chen Jie said.
He had wanted to kill Ye Fan and be done with it, but this was the Wang family.
If Ye Fan were to die here, it would likely bring trouble to the Wang family, so Chen Jie didn't do that.
Ye Fan gritted his teeth, his face gloomy, and left the Wang family.
"Chen Jie, let's go to a restaurant for a meal." Wang Fa didn't rush to deal with Wang Ye and Qiu Shuyun, but said to Chen Jie with a smile.
This Wang Fa seemed to value him.
Chen Jie nodded inwardly, considering him to have passed the test.
Indeed, whether the Wang family could accept him was one thing, and whether he could accept the Wang family was another.
If the Wang family wanted to test him, he would naturally test the attitude of the Wang family members as well.
The result was satisfactory for now.
However, given the changes the Wang family had undergone today, being able to still host Chen Jie was already giving him a lot of face. Chen Jie couldn't insist on going to a restaurant at this time.
So he asked Wang Fa to handle family matters first, and he would visit another day.
"Wait."
Wang Fa called out to Chen Jie, "Son-in-law, I actually have some things to discuss with you."
Chen Jie did not refuse, but nodded.
Then, Wang Fa took Chen Jie to the study.
He asked Chen Jie curiously, "Miss Jiang Xue, she is likely your Uncle Jiang Long's daughter, right? What is your relationship with her?"
Chen Jie explained, "I have no relationship with her."
Wang Fa waved his hand, "Haha, Uncle still believes in his daughter's charm. I was just asking, you don't need to be so nervous."
Chen Jie smiled; he wasn't nervous.
"What I want to discuss with you is about your marriage with my daughter. Your marriage will likely have to be postponed."
Before Chen Jie could speak, Wang Fa quickly added, "Let me state clearly first, I am 100% in favor of your marriage with my daughter. However, as you can see, despite the prosperity of my Wang family, it's not entirely harmonious. Outside, there are others who have designs on my Wang family. A tall tree attracts the wind!"
"Now my Wang family is facing internal and external troubles, and Ye Fan is not the only one who has designs on my daughter's talent and beauty."
Chen Jie said, "I understand."
He didn't think Wang Fa was lying.
"Logically speaking, you have saved me more than once, and you have also saved my daughter. I can't find any reason to refuse you. But I know that you have more than one engagement. Before marrying my daughter, shouldn't you break off the other engagements first?"
Chen Jie was taken aback; he had forgotten about that.
Having other engagements indeed made it unsuitable to marry his daughter.
"In addition, when your master and our late elder made the engagement, he said that you would achieve great things, and not just marry my daughter as an ordinary person..."
Chen Jie said with a half-smile, this was probably what he truly wanted to say.
But since his master had said so, he couldn't refute it.
"Uncle Wang means that I should marry Xiaoyan after I've achieved great things?" Chen Jie asked.
Wang Fa nodded, "That's exactly what I mean! Don't worry, during this time, you can date my daughter. My Wang family can afford to wait. If that's not possible, when my Wang family stabilizes and has no worries, even if you haven't achieved anything, my daughter can still marry you!"
