The Murong family, after all, was a prominent business clan. Even though Murong Yu was their young lady, she couldn't escape the fate of a family arranged marriage.
However, it was evident that Murong Hai, as a father, leaned towards his daughter's side.
But he had to consider the bigger picture and the elders of the family.
After Murong Hai left, Ye Cangtian returned to the general manager's office.
"Your father was just here!"
"What did he come for? Does he want me to go back? Or is he angry you hit my brother?" Murong Yu didn't look up, nor did she stop her work.
"He asked me to tell you something!"
Ye Cangtian smiled, "He said he'd find a way to appease the elders about the marriage, so you don't have to worry. After all, you're his only daughter!"
Murong Yu's hand trembled slightly but quickly regained its composure. She said indifferently, "When I left home, I had already decided. Whether he acknowledges me as his daughter or not, I will only walk the path I've chosen!"
This girl is really stubborn!
Ye Cangtian smiled brightly. Her stubborn personality was indeed quite appealing.
It had to be said, although this girl looked somewhat young, she was undeniably a beauty in the making. Especially her cold, arrogant demeanor, within two years she would become a great beauty capable of bringing down nations.
The key was that this girl was also a business prodigy. It would truly be a waste if she married an ignorant young master from a merchant family.
"Are you done?"
Murong Yu looked up at him, frowned, and said, "If there's nothing else, please leave. I still have work to do!"
Since she was still diligently working, it meant this girl had no intention of leaving the company.
Ye Cangtian chuckled and turned to leave.
He walked to the first-floor lobby.
From the reception desk, Li Anran's voice was heard, "Mr. Ye, there's a girl outside looking for you!"
Outside the security booth, Kawada Mihie stood rigidly at the entrance.
Shangguan Yun, standing beside her, asked with a smile, "Sister, what are you looking for Ye Cangtian for?"
"You, you know Ye Cangtian?"
Kawada Mihie turned back, looking at him with surprise.
"Of course, I'm his brother! If you have any difficulties, you can tell me too!"
"I have no difficulties!"
"Then why are you looking for him..."
"Revenge!"
Shangguan Yun was somewhat shocked. He sized her up, inwardly exclaiming: Beast!
What did Brother Ye do to this young girl?
This girl looked like a pure maiden. How could Brother Ye bring himself to do such a thing to such a beautiful girl? He's not human!
As they were chatting, Ye Cangtian walked over from the office building.
Shangguan Yun smiled, preparing to mock him a few words.
However, he saw the girl's face light up with surprise and joy. "Brother Ye!"
Shangguan Yun's mouth gaped open, and he couldn't utter a word for a long time. Didn't she say she came for revenge?
Ye Cangtian, who had just emerged, was also somewhat surprised when he saw the girl. He smiled and said, "Why are you here?"
Isn't this the girl he met at the breakfast shop who came to the city to find relatives?
How did she find her way here?
Kawada Mihie was also somewhat surprised and excited. At this moment, a smile of joy appeared on her face, and she repeatedly nodded to explain, "I came to find someone. I heard he should be at this company."
At this company?
Ye Cangtian smiled and said, "What a coincidence. What's the name of the person you're looking for? I'll have someone from the company help you ask."
"His name is Ye Cangtian!"
Ye Cangtian was a little stunned. He glanced at her suspiciously, then at Shangguan Yun, who shrugged and spread his hands to indicate he didn't know.
"Ahem, I am him! Is there something you need me for?"
"You, you are Ye Cangtian?" Kawada Mihie's body trembled slightly, and she stared at him blankly, her eyes filled with disbelief.
Isn't this Brother Ye a good person? How could he be the wicked Ye Cangtian who committed all sorts of evils?
Kawada Mihie found it difficult to accept because her purpose in coming to China was to avenge her elder brother, Kawada Ichiro.
This was also the first mission assigned to her by her adoptive father!
At this moment, she realized that the good person who had helped her was actually the target of her revenge, making it difficult for her to make a choice.
Across from her, Ye Cangtian looked at the girl's strange expression and couldn't help but smile, "What's wrong?"
Although Kawada Mihie was conflicted, her years of assassin training allowed her to quickly compose herself and make a decision.
She looked up at Ye Cangtian and bowed deeply.
"Thank you for your help, Brother Ye, but I must kill you today!"
"Huh?"
Ye Cangtian was momentarily confused. What did she say?
Kawada Mihie's face turned cold again. She drew the sword from her waist, her expression solemn, "Kawada Mihie, on behalf of the Kawada family, issues you a challenge!"
"Kawada family?"
Ye Cangtian quickly understood what was happening and said with some surprise, "You're here for revenge? Because of Kawada Ichiro's death?"
No wonder he thought the girl's speech was so awkward before. He thought she was from the countryside, but now he knew she was from the Kawada family in the East.
The matter of Kawada Ichiro was indeed a scheme of using a borrowed knife to kill orchestrated by the Yuwen family.
Ye Cangtian had heard from Secretary Liu that the Kawada family had sent assassins for revenge, but he hadn't expected the Kawada family to send such a young girl.
This was indeed beyond his expectations!
Kawada Mihie replied, "Kawada Ichiro is my elder brother. He died by your hand, so even though you are my benefactor, I must kill you! Please accept my challenge!"
Ye Cangtian was helpless and turned to leave.
"You can go. I won't accept your challenge."
If a group of assassins had come, Ye Cangtian wouldn't have cared about the scheme of using a borrowed knife to kill. Since they came, they could all stay!
But for a young girl to come, it made him both amused and exasperated.
That evening.
Ye Cangtian also returned to the new villa. It was almost a move-in ready place, so he was too lazy to spend money on a hotel.
Shangguan Yun, that fellow, had completely latched onto him and wouldn't go home, shamelessly moving in.
In the living room, the two ate some takeout.
"Brother Ye, that girl is still outside. Aren't you going to do something about it?"
"What should I do? Accept her challenge?" Ye Cangtian was helpless.
He also saw Kawada Mihie standing motionless outside the villa's gate, which made him feel somewhat vexed.
Although Kawada Ichiro's death was a scheme of using a borrowed knife to kill by the Yuwen family, explaining it was useless. The Kawada family was destined to be used as a blade.
But if he really accepted this challenge and killed this girl, he couldn't bring himself to do it.
He truly couldn't bear to destroy a flower with a harsh hand!
"Tsk tsk, I really don't know what the Kawada family was thinking, sending such a young girl for revenge!"
Shangguan Yun was somewhat gleeful and casually remarked, "Alas, it's really a bit cold tonight. That young girl is dressed thinly. She won't catch a cold, will she?"
Ye Cangtian glanced at him and asked surprisingly, "You've fallen for her?"
"I'm not interested in these young girls. You know my taste!" Shangguan Yun winked.
Ye Cangtian knew that this guy liked mature and sexy women, such as Yun Lan, the CEO of Yunmeng Entertainment Company, who was rumored to be Huang Yi.
He asked with some curiosity, "Didn't you go to her company before? Why are you so idle these days?"
"Don't mention it. They said I have no talent for acting and no singing ability, so they fired me!"
"Then they made a wise decision!"
Late at night, Shangguan Yun found a room to sleep in.
Ye Cangtian also went to the master bedroom and pulled back the curtains to look down.
Outside the villa gate, a frail figure still stood erect.
This made Ye Cangtian feel somewhat helpless!
