This was definitely a fight for a woman's affections between men.
At least, that was what the young masters on Yuchi Gong's side thought.
Who didn't know that Han Keren was already engaged to Yuchi Gong? Even the wedding date had been put on the agenda.
The beauty of adulthood?
Even if Yuchi Gong had such intentions, would Han Keren dare step out of line?
Moreover, Yuchi Gong's words were clearly meant to humiliate Hu Jianjun, and he was also displaying his manliness.
However, his so-called manliness was too despicable, too childish.
A laughable stupidity.
There would always be some self-righteous men who felt that playing around with their women in front of outsiders was an honorable thing to show off their manliness.
In reality, from the perspective of a normal person with a bit of a healthy worldview. This was an ironic matter.
In today's society, there were many traps specifically designed for men. They came from women's traps. But some things, wrong was wrong. It had nothing to do with position and everything to do with morality.
What Yuchi Gong was doing right now was an immoral thing. What was even more ridiculous was that among the group of young masters around him, there were actually some who were laughing mockingly.
Birds of a feather flock together.
To the side, Xiao Zheng sighed softly. He leisurely lifted his wine glass and took a sip.
"Hu Jianjun, don't you like her?" Yuchi Gong's eyes were cold. "Don't you even remember her birthday?"
"Today, you came here to try your luck and see if you can see Han Keren. Isn't that right? "Yuchi Gong mocked. "Right now, she's right in front of you. You're still a man. Do what a man should do. "
Hu Jianjun seemed to turn a deaf ear to Yuchi Gong's words. He only looked at Han Keren with heartache, his eyes as soft as water.
"Are you very unhappy?" Hu Jianjun's voice trembled slightly.
"He treats you like this, you must be very unhappy?"
Hu Jianjun repeated, his eyes growing colder.
But just as he took two steps forward, Han Keren suddenly shook her head forcefully, tears falling like rain. "Jianjun, don't meddle. Listen to your sister … "
She knew.
She was only a plaything in Yuchi Gong's hands, a tool.
Right now, Yuchi Gong was only using her to anger Hu Jianjun.
Hu Jianjun's background was too powerful.
It was so powerful that it made people's hair stand on end!
So powerful that even Yuchi Gong, whose family background was equally astonishing, couldn't help but view him as his most powerful political enemy.
Ten years later.
Twenty years later.
Thirty years later!
Who could guarantee that Hu Jianjun, who was nearing the age of fifty, wouldn't, with the support of the Hu family's terrifying resources, become the Yuchi Palace's greatest political enemy?
There would always only be one person at the peak!
But that one would firmly occupy it for ten years!
This was a war that they could only win and not lose. They had to fight for it for the rest of their lives!
If he lost, he might just be relegated to the second line.
It was also possible that his family would be ruined!
History told this group of officials' children that when they fought for the power that everyone yearned for, they also faced the risk of being pressured.
In the business world, one could exclude or suppress an opponent in the early or middle stages of their success. But in politics, the enemy must always be killed in the cradle!
The higher the rank, the crueler it was!
Hu Jianjun struggled to look at Han Keren. He looked at her soft eyes and at her tear-stained face. Hu Jianjun's heart was broken.
After all, he was only an 18-year-old boy.
He did not completely inherit his elders' ability to control the overall situation. He didn't even know how to use the Hu family's power.
At this moment, he was only a hot-blooded youth, an angry and impulsive youth for the sake of beautiful love.
He knew that once some things were done, there would be no turning back.
He also knew that if he didn't do some things, he might leave behind a knot in his heart for a lifetime.
Perhaps — he would never walk out of the shadow!
"What are you still waiting for?"
These words didn't come from the Yuchi Palace's provocation.
Rather, it came from Xiao Zheng behind Hu Jianjun.
Xiao Zheng held a glass of red wine in his hand. His wrist moved slightly, gently swirling the liquid in the glass.
He leaned against a chair, not even raising his head as he said, "Little Hu, do you still remember what I just said?"
"Men. Young and not frivolous, by the time you get to my age, you won't have that mental strength. "Xiao Zheng raised his head and drained the glass of red wine.
Xiao Zheng's words seemed to give Hu Jianjun a kilogram of chicken blood. His chest surged with hot blood. He finally dispelled all misgivings and worldly gazes.
He dashed forward like an arrow, suddenly wrapping his arms around Han Keren's snow-white neck.
Immediately after, he fiercely bit down on Han Keren's warm and sweet red lips. A wild and unbridled entanglement.
Han Keren moaned, her body softening in a flash. Her charming face immediately flushed red. Even her long, curly eyelashes trembled faintly.
She pushed, wanting to break free from Hu Jianjun's embrace. But Hu Jianjun's arms were strong from year-round training. How could she refuse?
This passionate kiss resolved the matter that had accumulated in Hu Jianjun's heart for many years. But didn't it also allow Han Keren to break free from worldly gazes?
Yes.
She was Yuchi Gong's fiancée.
But that wasn't something she did willingly. It was the pressure of her clan, the political transactions, and — a mission that she was powerless to resist.
She didn't even have the strength to truss a chicken. How could she dare resist the arrangements of fate?
She didn't dare, and even the heavens wouldn't blame her!
But Hu Jianjun couldn't be weak! Because he was a man! A man who could support heaven and earth!
Some things should be shouldered by a man!
Some mistakes could be corrected, but they should be corrected by a man!
Hu Jianjun bravely took this step. It was as if he had given Han Keren a weight!
She slightly raised her arms and, under the watchful eyes of the crowd, bravely embraced Hu Jianjun's body.
The air was filled with heat, and it was filled with the smell of gunpowder that would ignite at the slightest touch!
Yuchi Gong was angry! Also crazy!
His fiancée! She actually kissed another man in public! Not to mention that his family background was extraordinary and respected. Even if he was just a good-for-nothing man, it would be hard for him to swallow this breath!
"Hu Jianjun! If I don't beat you to death today, then I, Yuchi Gong, am not a man! "
Lips parted. Not waiting for Hu Jianjun to express himself, Han Keren slowly turned around and extended her arms to block Hu Jianjun behind her. Her gaze was firm and resolute as she looked at Yuchi Gong. "If you want to beat me, beat me to death."
Hearing this, Yuchi Gong began to laugh like a madman. He laughed until his veins were exposed and his entire body was shaking.
He grabbed a wine bottle and fiercely smashed it on the ground. He said to the group of young masters at his side, "Whoever cripples his leg, I'll burn yellow paper to become sworn brothers with him!"
Kill someone?
That wasn't rational and it wasn't realistic.
But crippling Hu Jianjun was the best choice in the current situation.
One leg? Enough.
A lame man couldn't be a soldier. A lame man couldn't be an official. At least, he couldn't be a high-ranking official.
A man with a lame leg would never become the man who appeared on the news.
One leg.
Yuchi Gong was enough to cripple Hu Jianjun's entire life!
