Chapter 1063: Chapter 14: Business Is Business
The Navy has an unspoken rule.
Seeing any Yang Family member allows for immediate execution.
This rule isn’t just known by the Navy; you could say even all Old Tianmen People know it well and clearly understand why such a rule exists.
Of course, this rule isn’t always enforced strictly.
Without grudges, who would bother killing on the street for no reason?
But if you encounter Yang Family members showing off on the streets or secretly doing shady things behind the scenes, or even just speaking insolently and causing trouble,
if you shoot them, the Navy will 100% condone it.
On the flip side, local Yang Family members won’t intentionally seek such trouble. Seeing someone in a Navy uniform, they’ll just take a detour; if you don’t provoke these soldiers, nothing happens.
Or get an intermediary to manage family business secretly and profit, like the Extensive Knowledge Society.
Or put your excellent descendants in places out of the Navy’s interference, like Yang Youxuan.
However, outsiders clearly don’t understand the local Jianghu World rules; seeing Wang Yunxiao in uniform, they show no reaction at all.
Even though Cheng Xuefei tried to smooth things over, the bodyguard leader was still visibly unconvinced, staring at Wang Yunxiao with a stormy expression, feeling his master’s dignity had been insulted.
“I really don’t understand.”
Yang Jian glanced at Wang Yunxiao and turned to Cheng Xuefei, saying, “I heard them say before, the Yang Family was barely surviving in Tianmen, struggling to even breathe, but I didn’t quite feel it. Now it seems it’s not an exaggeration.”
You call this barely surviving?
Wang Yunxiao almost laughed.
So when your family wasn’t barely surviving, what kind of scene was it? Care to tell us?
“Young Master Yang, for my sake, please say less.”
Cheng Xuefei threw an exasperated smile at Wang Yunxiao, “Section Chief Wang, are you here to choose a wedding dress for your beloved as well? Since it’s all joyful occasions, why make it so unpleasant?”
“I’m not upset.”
Wang Yunxiao thought to himself, if your fiancé’s subordinates dared to draw their guns today, that would really be delightful.
“Why make such a big fuss over buying clothes? We can queue, but these irrelevant people disrupting the business, that’s unreasonable; let them go outside.”
The shop’s staff and owner, like quail, shrank silently behind the scenes.
Whose family do they dare offend?
“Section Chief Wang is right.”
Yang Jian was silent for two seconds, then said to the bodyguard leader, “You all go outside first.”
The bodyguard leader glared fiercely at Wang Yunxiao before leading his men outside.
Just then, Li Mumu came in from the entrance and almost collided with them.
“Oh dear~”
The Eldest Miss Li exclaimed, patting her chest, and ran to Wang Yunxiao, linking her arm with his.
“That was scary.”
Don’t be like this…
Wang Yunxiao was speechless.
Channeling the drama queen?
The Eldest Miss Li had a bit of an idol complex; the fewer people around or the less she was recognized, the more unrestrained her actions. Conversely, the more people around, the more she could embellish her role, shaping the persona.
Cheng Xuefei wasn’t very familiar with Li Mumu; they weren’t in the same circle, but seeing Li Mumu, her eyes lit up, and she praised, “Section Chief Wang is very lucky. When did you meet such a good girl and not tell me?”
Where would I tell you?
It’s pleasantries, Wang Yunxiao didn’t take it seriously, responding similarly, “Has Miss Cheng chosen well? I think this one looks good.”
“Yes, yes, it’s good indeed.”
Li Mumu nodded repeatedly beside him, “I like this one too.”
Cheng Xuefei hadn’t spoken yet when Yang Jian, standing by, suddenly asked Li Mumu, “Are you Mu Yuming’s daughter?”
Li Mumu blinked but didn’t respond.
Wang Yunxiao and Cheng Xuefei were colleagues, but what relation did I have with you? Can we chat?
Besides, how did you figure it out? My face doesn’t have ‘Mu’ written on it.
Yang Jian turned to look at Wang Yunxiao again, “Rushing to get engaged?”
That was rather unpleasant.
Wang Yunxiao chuckled, “Young Master Yang is quite inquisitive.”
Yang Jian shook his head and said no more.
Seeing the awkward atmosphere, Cheng Xuefei continued to mediate, “Since Miss Mu likes it, this wedding dress can go to you; I’ll choose another.”
“No need, I’ll still pick for myself.”
Li Mumu smiled, “A wedding dress only looks good when worn on oneself.”
She seemed to speak cynically, but you couldn’t find fault with her words.
If the conversation becomes uninteresting, there’s no need to continue further.
After Cheng Xuefei and Yang Jian left, Li Mumu’s sweet innocence vanished.
“Four Seas Commerce Guild’s lackeys.”
“Do you know him?”
“I don’t know him, but from his tone, if he’s not high up in the Chamber of Commerce, who could call my dad by his first name?”
That’s true, nowadays Boss Mu is quite a big name in Tianmen; fewer and fewer dare call him by his first name.
Wang Yunxiao curiously asked, “Does the Chamber of Commerce also have a branch of the Yang Family?”
“Not only do they have, but they’re the core direct line.”
Li Mumu glanced at the wedding dresses on the rack; she’d no interest in trying on ones others had worn.
“Owner, modify this style for me; make a new set.”
“How does Miss want to change it?”
“Bring paper and pen; I’ll draw for you.”
Li Mumu chose the style herself, and Wang Yunxiao naturally had no objections.
His wife looks good in anything, whether dressed or not.
He’s just a ruthless payment machine.
Originally, Wang Yunxiao thought this was just a trivial matter.
Just a casual stroll, seeing a distasteful person, exchanging a few tense banter.
He didn’t take this Yang Family playboy seriously at all.
Likewise, Yang Jian didn’t take him seriously either.
Two hours later, Mu Yuming, busy in his office, received a call.
“I’m Yang Jian.”
Mu Yuming slightly paused, composed, and lowered his voice, saying, “Mr. Yang, I hope you’ve been well.”
“You have a daughter.”
“I currently have two daughters.”
“I met the older one today, already engaged?”
“Yes, any instructions?”
“Consider me how?”
“How what?”
Mu Yuming frowned, “Mr. Yang, feel free to speak directly.”
“My family arranged a marriage for me, quite problematic but inescapable.”
The cold voice of Yang Jian came from the other end of the line.
“Borrow your daughter for a bit; it’s okay, right?”
“Not okay.”
Mu Yuming shook his head, “Mr. Yang, work is work, but don’t involve family. I cannot oblige your request.”
