Finally—
Ye Wenjun slowly stood up.
Her slender figure stood in the center of the hall, her aura otherworldly, making people involuntarily hold their breath.
Her gaze was cold, her expression calm.
"Firstly, your siblings are not here... Secondly, whatever your relationship is with my husband, it has nothing to do with me. I will let it slide this time for my husband's sake, but should there be a next time, you will be severely punished."
After speaking, she turned to Shangguan Linghui nearby and said, "Linghui, I'm tired."
"Mm, Sister Wenjun, let's go rest."
Shangguan Linghui helped Ye Wenjun as they walked towards the back.
After this exchange, the entire hall fell silent; no one spoke.
Li Long, Lv Tong, and others were merely ordinary schoolmates, and their status was far below that of Zhang Zhi.
Zhang Zhi invited them purely to make up the numbers.
Who would have expected Ye Wenjun to suddenly become angry?
It has to be said that Zhang Zhi has a thick skin—
He quickly bowed and said, "Fang Yu, I'm really sorry, I spoke out of turn just now, trying to ingratiate myself without thinking. It was my fault, I apologize to you."
Upon hearing this.
Fang Yu smiled and said:
"It's fine. We were classmates after all; I'm not as petty as you think."
Zhang Zhi also smiled and said:
"You are much more magnanimous than before... Seriously though, have you been diligently practicing martial arts these years, and reached the Sixth Layer?"
Before Fang Yu could respond.
Zhu Lao San from the Dark Web's Jiangzhou branch laughed and said, "Don't worry, he's definitely not worse than you."
"Really? I thought so. In this hall, you are the only one who can converse with me as an equal."
Just at this moment, a voice came from outside—
"Jiangzhou Hua University Hospital, Director Wu Cunzhong, comes to offer congratulations."
Everyone turned to look.
Zhang Zhi chuckled: "Tsk tsk, classmates, did you see? A hospital director! These days, who doesn't have some ailment? It's great to have a director as a friend."
"Yes, yes, Zhang Ge is right."
Lv Tong and the others promptly started calling him Zhang Ge.
Zhang Zhi beamed with joy.
Li Long, Jiang Fei, Lv Tong, during their high school years, had often bullied Zhang Zhi. Back then, Zhang Zhi would laugh and call them bros on the surface, but deep down he despised them bitterly. Inviting them this time was just to show off and feel vindicated.
"But Zhang Ge is now a Sixth Layer Martial Artist; he wouldn't be bothered with such people. Even Sun Guoting from before would have to give Zhang Ge some respect!"
"Fang Yu really has no insight at all."
The three flattered.
They knew they had to make Zhang Zhi happy, or else how would they have good days ahead?
"From the Xu Family, Elder Xu Liu comes to offer congratulations..."
Xu Liu?
Everyone was again surprised.
Since the downfall of the Sun and Xiao Families, Xu Liu of the Xu Family from Jiangzhou had become a prominent figure.
But...
They did not expect Xu Liu to come.
"Xu Liu is only a Martial Artist of the Second Layer of Martial Arts, quite low level," Zhang Zhi reminded them.
"Yes, how can the Second Layer compare to Zhang Ge?"
"There's no comparison at all."
Elder Xu Liu and Wu Cunzhong entered the courtyard and waited.
Not long after they arrived.
Another voice came from outside—
"From Jiangzhou's Gu Family, Gu Guangxuan and Gu Qingshan come to offer congratulations!"
This time, not only were people inside the hall stirred, but even those waiting outside were surprised.
Most people knew that Gu Guangxuan was born into the Lu Family.
Also, a martial arts expert above the Martial Arts Fourth Layer.
The presence of such a distinguished guest to offer congratulations indicates something extraordinary.
Gu Guangxuan and Gu Qingshan arrived at the hall and, upon seeing Fang Yu, respectfully said, "Gu Guangxuan is late... Congratulations... Mr. Fang for revitalizing the Fang Family."
He had meant to say Young Master.
Unfortunately, the past of the Lu Family was over, and it was best not to mention it. So he changed his wording to Mr. Fang.
Fang Yu nodded and said, "Please, take a seat."
The arrival of Gu Guangxuan made the whole hall tense up.
Zhang Zhi still had a smiling demeanor and said, "Finally, someone respectable has arrived..."
"Zhang Brother, this person also seems to be a martial arts expert with a significant background. He's kept a low profile in Jiangzhou over the years, but all the influential figures in Jiangzhou have visited him."
"Yes, indeed, that grandson of Gu Guangxuan is said to be Fang Yu's sidekick, and they have a great relationship."
Upon hearing this,
Zhang Zhi was unimpressed and said,
"Do you really not know or are you pretending? The Lu Family has long been out of the picture..."
"Huh?" Lv Tong, Li Long, and Jiang Fei were all taken aback.
Zhang Zhi smiled and said, "Some time ago, the Lu Family was wiped out by a master, and to this day, no one knows what really happened."
The others were surprised.
"In other words, Gu Guangxuan's status has halved now."
Everyone nodded, understanding what had happened.
Then—
"Jiangzhou Commerce Federation Chairman Zhang Feifan comes to offer congratulations."
"Jiangzhou's Wu Family Wu Deqiu comes to offer congratulations."
"Jiangzhou's Qingcheng Group Chief Financial Director, Director Li, on behalf of President Jiang, comes to offer congratulations."
More and more people arrived.
Hearing Qingcheng Group, Fang Yu was taken aback, realizing it had been some time since he last saw Jiang Wei and Jiang Xiaoxiao, and wondered how they were doing.
While he was lost in thought.
Zhang Zhi had already glanced over all the so-called important figures around, sneering to himself.
Remembering what Ye Wenjun had said, he felt irritated and slowly stood up, saying,
"Fang Yu."
Fang Yu puzzledly asked, "Zhang classmate, what's wrong?"
"I think most of the distinguished guests have arrived. On such an important day of the Fang Family's rebuilding, how can we forget your sister-in-law? She is also part of the Fang Family, and we should respect the occasion."
Hearing this remark.
Fang Yu frowned slightly and said, "Zhang Zhi, do you have Alzheimer's?"
"What?" Zhang Zhi didn't understand.
"Senile dementia, you know? The disease where memory fades easily, and you forget everything."
"What are you talking about?" Zhang Zhi was even more annoyed.
Finally—
Fang Yu stood up and smiled, "You studied abroad and you don't know what Alzheimer's is?"
"I know."
Zhang Zhi replied in an unfriendly tone, "What do you mean by that? I was sincerely congratulating you as an old classmate, reminding you of your sister-in-law."
"I mean, after all, this isn't a society where cheap people are loved; you would do better to restrain yourself," Fang Yu said indifferently.
"Fang Yu... I originally came here sincerely to congratulate you... I didn't expect you to say such vicious things to humiliate me. Rationally, my classmates know how you treated me before. I returned your animosity with kindness by visiting you, and you should be grateful. Don't think that just because you're the Jiangzhou Iron Fist King, you're above everyone else."
Zhang Zhi's attitude became more arrogant with no sign of backing down.
The conflict seemed ready to erupt.
Classmates began to counsel.
"Fang Yu, Zhang Brother is right, why are you doing this? Even though we're not as successful as you, Zhang Brother isn't bad either, there's no need for this."
"Yeah. Zhang Brother came with good intentions to congratulate you, you should be grateful."
"Fang Yu, apologize to Zhang Brother quickly... Zhang Brother is so magnanimous, he won't hold a grudge against you."
"Even though you are the Jiangzhou Iron Fist King and so many big shots are supporting you, Zhang Brother is still a martial arts expert, having seen much bigger scenes than this. It's great to follow Zhang Brother in the future, don't be upset... If Zhang Brother were to take those past issues seriously, would he still be talking to you calmly here? Apologize to Zhang Brother quickly, we won't let you down."
