Chapter 1656 - 1656 Hit Me If You Want
Yuan Haoyang’s fans were filled with worry.
After Guo Xintao and Ma Xiaohui, Li Lanzi also went forward to talk to Wan Changqing and received a few smiles from him.
Mr. Li really wanted to marry his daughter to Wang Zongheng’s son and take the opportunity to work with Butterfly Music, so he wanted to use Wan Changqing to facilitate this marriage. He took the opportunity to say, “Old Master Wan, actually, Lanzi is attending the banquet tonight to meet her marriage partner.”
Old Master Wan asked with interest, “Who is it?”
“It’s Yuan Haoyang from the Wang family! He’s the son of Yuan Xi and Wang Zongheng!” Mr. Li said.
“Come, have him come over. I want to meet him.” Wan Changqing smiled.
“Haoyang, can you come over for a while?” Mr. Li called out to Yuan Haoyang.
As long as Wan Changqing asked, Yuan Haoyang would definitely not refuse.
Everyone present was also thinking that the people from the Li family would cause trouble. The Li family knew that the most respected person here was Wan Changqing, so they directly used him. If Yuan Haoyang refused, he would offend Wan Changqing. The Li family would be able to retreat unscathed no matter what. They had really planned well.
Even Xie Lifen was stunned for a moment. She didn’t expect the Li family to be so cunning. If Yuan Haoyang offended Wan Changqing, wouldn’t the Wang family be at risk too? However, the good thing was that Yuan Haoyang had already left the family. She hoped that Wan Changqing wouldn’t take his anger out on them.
However, if that happened, Yuan Haoyang and Wang Zongheng would definitely have a falling out!
That was unless Yuan Haoyang changed his personality and accepted Li Lanzi.
Yuan Haoyang raised his eyebrows slightly and looked at Mr. Li lazily. “Why did you call me over?”
“Old Master Wan has something to tell you!” Mr. Li pushed the blame on Wan Changqing.
“But I heard you calling me, though?” Yuan Haoyang’s tone was lazy. He had no intention of going over.
Mr. Li was really angry at his attitude and had no choice but to be patient. “Come over first and greet Old Master Wan. You should be doing that as a junior!”
“If I want to greet him, I’ll naturally go over myself. I don’t need you to call me over.” Yuan Haoyang didn’t take Mr. Li’s words to heart at all. His attitude when he spoke was even more carefree.
Everyone was used to his attitude, but Guo Xintao thought to himself, ‘Yuan Haoyang is really too insensible. He probably got to where he is only because of his family! How annoying!’
Ma Xiaohui also felt that Yuan Haoyang was doomed. Everyone was eager to curry favor with Wan Changqing, but he was the only one who didn’t care at all.
Wan Changqing was still smiling. “Yuan Haoyang, do you not like Li Lanzi?”
“Who’s Li Lanzi?” Yuan Haoyang asked.
Mr. Li and Li Lanzi were so angry that they almost spat out a mouthful of blood. He was too rude! He actually publicly said that he didn’t know Li Lanzi!
“Your marriage partner,” Wan Changqing added.
Yuan Haoyang lazily pulled over a chair and sat down. “What year is it now? Why are they still doing those old tricks? Do they think this is still a feudal dynasty?”
Wang Zongheng was so angry that he wanted to hit him, but Xie Lifen stopped him.
Yuan Haoyang looked at his father lazily. “If you want to hit me, go ahead. After all, you don’t treat me as your son, right? You ran away when I needed you. Now, I don’t need you anymore. But for your own interests and the family’s reputation, you want me to marry someone of your choosing?”
“You!” Wang Zongheng was furious.
“What about me? I didn’t get any inheritance from you, nor do I want any assets of the Wang and Li families. I’ve even taken my mother’s surname. Why should I listen to you?”
Wang Zongheng did not expect his son to dare to make such a fuss in public. He really did not expect it.
“If you have something to say, let’s go home and talk about it. It’s meaningless to talk here, right?”
“You’re afraid of exposing your dirty laundry, but I’m not. Why? When you decided to have me meet my marriage partner in public, you didn’t ask for my opinion, nor did you say that I couldn’t say these things outside.” Yuan Haoyang raised his eyebrows lazily, but his words were clear and firm.
Ma Xiaohui and Guo Xintao looked at each other. They both felt that Yuan Haoyang had lost his reputation. If news of this were to spread, Yuan Haoyang’s reputation and image would fall. Furthermore, he was doing this in front of Wan Changqing.
Would Wan Changqing invite him to another banquet in the future?
The two of them couldn’t wait for things to blow up.
Xie Lifen said, “We’re just thinking about your happiness. Haoyang, think about it. If you marry a woman who has nothing, your father and I will always be worried about you. Besides, the Li family is a family friend.”
“Then I’ll say it again. The only person I want to marry is Lin Wenyu. I won’t marry anyone else!” Yuan Haoyang stood up and said word by word.
Everyone was in an uproar. They thought that he had compromised by not bringing Lin Wenyu tonight.
Unexpectedly, he just didn’t want Lin Wenyu to be criticized, so he didn’t bring her along.
For a moment, no one knew if they should admire him or criticize him for being too bold.
Guo Xintao also shook his head secretly. His competitor was courting death. It seemed Lady Luck was truly on his side this time.
Wang Zongheng was so angry that he rolled his eyes. In order to protect his reputation, he forced himself not to faint.
“Young man.” Wan Changqing stopped him.
Yuan Haoyang raised his eyebrows and looked at him. “There’s no need for you to persuade me. I won’t compromise on anyone’s account, and I’m not worried about offending you. However, Grandpa, you’re really too kind. Just look at how many people want to use your kindness to achieve their goals. How many people really respect you from the bottom of their hearts?”
His words exposed more than half of the people present here. Everyone came here to please Wan Changqing and obtain what they wanted.
However, not only did Yuan Haoyang not collude with them, but he also directly exposed them.
Yuan Haoyang’s words offended everyone present.
Whether it was the aristocratic families or the people in the entertainment industry, they would probably not let him have it easy in the future.
Wan Changqing laughed out loud. “Do you think I stopped you so that I could force you to marry the Li family’s daughter? I just think that you have the same demeanor I had when I was young. I want you to come over and have a good talk with you!”
Everyone: “…”
Everyone was confused.
Why didn’t they know that Wan Changqing was similar to Yuan Haoyang when he was young?
However, everyone came to a realization. Wan Changqing was already so old, yet he still liked things to be lively and did whatever he wanted. Wasn’t he just an old version of Yuan Haoyang?
To think that everyone was trying their best to portray themselves as the person Wan Changqing liked, but in fact, they were only making him like them on the surface. It turned out that the person he really liked was someone like Yuan Haoyang!
It was a miscalculation on their part!
