Chapter 2306 - 2307: Another Identity

Wang Honglin was a bit dumbfounded.

He didn't know the story between Yanzi and Old Cat.

This young man didn't seem to have any background, yet he proposed to Wang Honglin directly at Yanzi's engagement ceremony.

This utterly disregarded the dignity of the Wang Family and the Zhou Family!

No matter how gentle Circulation's nature was, at this moment, he couldn't help but feel anger surging up as he suddenly stood up.

Zhou Mingde followed Circulation and stood up, patting him on the shoulder to signal him to remain calm.

Wang Honglin had been the head of the Wang family for over ten years and had never encountered such a bizarre situation.

He kept his composure and looked at Old Cat sternly.

"Who are you? What's your relationship with Yanzi?"

On the side, Yanzi's mother, her face pale, hurried a few steps to Wang Honglin and whispered a few words to him.

No matter how deep Wang Honglin's thoughts were, even he blushed at this moment.

He slammed the table heavily and shouted angrily, "Nonsense!"

Amidst the uproar, Circulation managed to calm himself and approached Old Cat.

He let out a cold laugh.

"I know who you are. I advise you to leave quickly; this isn't some small pond in Jiangnan."

Old Cat's expression was indifferent. He shot a glance at Circulation, a look of utter contempt flashing through his eyes.

"Yanzi is my woman. You're not worthy of marrying her!"

As soon as these words were said, the whole room was in an uproar.

Circulation's identity was by no means ordinary. Not only was he a Tianjiao disciple of the Zhou Family, but he was also the secretary of a central office.

With the heritage of the Zhou Family and Circulation's current position, soaring high within the next five years was no impossible feat.

Such a person was worthy of even a royal princess!

In his fury, Circulation instead burst into laughter.

"Haha, I'm not worthy of Yanzi, and you think you're worthy, a mere Lieutenant?"

"Or is it your family in Jiangnan, with a company not even valued at a billion, that's worthy of Yanzi?"

Upon hearing this, Old Cat knew Circulation had investigated him and his background, yet he still smiled coldly.

"I say you're not worthy, and there's a reason you're not.

"I advise you to withdraw now. The Zhou Family can still enjoy the blessings of your ancestors; otherwise, disaster will descend, and it will be too late to regret!"

Listening to Old Cat's words, Circulation felt like he was hearing the world's most ridiculous joke and couldn't help but laugh heartily.

Others who heard these words shook their heads and sighed.

If what Circulation said was true.

The young man's status and position compared to Circulation were vastly different.

Yet his arrogance made many amused, while also earning him a few more disdainful glances, with many people discussing it.

"I say, what's the origin of this boy to be so arrogant, only to reveal he's a merchant?"

"Alas, young people not knowing their limits, causing chaos here, not only involving themselves but also dragging their families down."

"Get him out of here. Don't let this kid ruin everyone's mood!"

...

Listening to the conversation between Old Cat and Circulation, Wang Honglin was suddenly filled with anger.

At first, he thought Old Cat was a young master from some great family, here just to stir trouble.

But hearing Circulation's words, he realized this guy didn't even have the qualifications to be jealous.

The son of a Jiangnan merchant, trying to link himself to the Wang Family in this manner, only made Wang Honglin feel disgusted and ashamed.

In an instant, Old Cat turned into a despicable character in Wang Honglin's heart, a scoundrel climbing through connections to marry into prominence.

Wang Honglin's heart was filled with aversion as he raised his hand and said sharply.

"Uncle Wang, take this person out."

From inside the main door, an old man standing silently with hands down, sighed softly and walked towards Old Cat.

The old man seemed like a withered piece of wood without a hint of strength.

Yet when he approached Old Cat, Old Cat felt a massive sense of danger.

He felt like an ant facing a huge elephant's foot descending.

Yanzi watched Old Cat with delight, her cheeks blushing.

This typically gentle-natured fellow, when had he become so courageous?

In that moment, the young girl's heart was filled with emotion.

Hearing Wang Honglin's words, Yanzi found some courage from an unknown place, stepped forward, and stood in front of Old Cat.

"Father, if you're going to drive him out, then drive me out too. Old Cat is my friend, and no one is allowed to touch him."

Wang Honglin immediately became furious, standing up.

"Yanzi, what are you trying to do?"

If Old Cat hadn't come, Yanzi might have continued to submit to the family's arrangement.

However, at this moment, Old Cat's courage ignited a burning emotion deep within Yanzi's heart.

She grasped Old Cat's hand, faced Wang Honglin with unwavering eyes.

"Father, the person I want to marry is Old Cat. Being with him makes me truly happy. Don't you want me to be happy?"

Not far away, Circulation almost exploded with anger.

The faces of Zhou Mingde and his wife turned ominously dark.

Although the Wang Family was powerful, the Zhou Family wasn't to be trifled with either.

Yanzi's move completely disgraced the Zhou Family, making Zhou Mingde and the others feel humiliated.

Circulation secretly vowed to fully suppress the family named Old Cat after today until they were ruined.

Wang Honglin glanced at Zhou Mingde and others, knowing they were thoroughly offended. If no immediate explanation was given, a conflict between the Wang Family and the Zhou Family would likely start.

In an altercation of such magnitude between powerful families, once they clashed, the methods employed would be bloody and relentless.

Wang Honglin gritted his teeth and, without looking at his daughter, harshly ordered the old man.

"Uncle Wang, act immediately. Break this boy's legs and throw him out."

"Then call the police and charge him with trespassing and causing trouble."

This way Wang Honglin used Old Cat to assert dominance, as a way to give the Zhou Family an explanation.

Sure enough, Zhou Mingde and the others' expressions softened slightly.

As long as Wang Honglin remained firm and insisted on this marriage, even if Yanzi grew wings, she wouldn't be able to escape.

Circulation secretly gritted his teeth.

Once Yanzi was in his hands, he intended to settle the score with her for today.

The old man stood before Old Cat and gently waved his hand.

"Young man, you are ungrateful. The family head has given the order; I have no choice but to offend you."

With the old man's gentle wave, Yanzi suddenly floated backward several steps.

A soft yet overwhelmingly powerful force pushed her away.

Yanzi felt immense fear in her heart.

This old man had followed her father for ten years, always discreet, never showing his strength, yet he was so powerful.

Yanzi cried out.

"Old Cat, run! Don't worry. In this life, I, Yanzi, will be your woman."

Old Cat, however, stood motionless, with a slight expression of mockery on his face.

He didn't even look at the old man, as if the man wasn't worthy of his gaze, lightly looking at Wang Honglin instead.

"Uncle, I know you look down on me, but I have another identity. Would you be willing to hear it?"

Wang Honglin saw his unyielding demeanor and felt some suspicion in his heart, but then sneered.

"No matter who you are, the Wang Family won't care. Accept your bad luck, will you?"

Old Cat shook his head, reached into his robe, and took out a jade talisman, handing it to Wang Honglin.

"This is a token given to me by my master. He entrusted me to pass it on to you."
