Everyone was stunned. Cai Yuncheng and Jiang Shan were stunned, while Yong Ye was stunned for a moment. Then, his face darkened and his eyes were filled with suppressed anger.
Yang Cheng had also noticed Cai Ning's gaze. When he heard the woman's question, his heart skipped a beat. It was as if a heavy stone had been released.
Cai Ning's eyes were abnormally clear, but there was a strange sense of certainty in them. This made Yang Cheng subconsciously recall that night in the forest when he saved Cai Ning from the hands of the vampire Lilith. At that time, this woman also looked at him with such a clear gaze …
"If... If I told you not to go, would you agree?" Yang Cheng blurted out.
Cai Ning's lips twitched slightly. "If you have a reason."
"I have a reason." Yang Cheng grinned. "The reason is that I don't like it."
Cai Ning's eyes were slightly red, but she revealed a faint smile.
Jiang Shan, who was watching the conversation between the two of them, noticed that Yong Ye was about to spit fire from his eyes. She immediately felt that the situation was not good. She wanted to chase Yang Cheng out of the door. She hurriedly rushed over and grabbed Cai Ning's arm. "Ning'er, what's wrong with you!? Why are you asking him about your marriage!? "
Cai Ning looked at her mother apologetically. "I'm sorry, mom. It seems that I can't go today …"
"Why!?" Yong Ye finally couldn't hold it in anymore. He shouted, "Just because this guy shamelessly said that he doesn't like it, you can't take wedding photos with your fiancé!? Cai Ning! You have to give me a reasonable explanation!! "
Jiang Shan was also angry. "What nonsense are you talking about!? You have to go! "
Cai Ning was silent. She bit her lips and didn't say a word.
"Since she said she doesn't want to go, then she doesn't have to go." Yang Cheng walked forward and pulled Cai Ning behind him. He smiled innocently and said, "Auntie, we can't force this matter. I think, other than the wedding photos, this engagement is a little unreasonable. Since the parties involved don't like it, why do we have to force this melon?"
Jiang Shan was so angry that her chest was heaving up and down. She pointed a trembling finger at Yang Cheng, "You … Are you going to ruin our entire family before you're willing to give up!?"
"I just don't want to regret it later." Yang Cheng stopped smiling and said seriously, "Although I don't know why, I am against Cai Ning marrying this guy. I was the one who started it. Back then, I didn't think it through and caused Cai Ning to suffer a lot in Beijing. But I haven't lived to the point where I need a woman to protect me from the elements. Just do as I said and cancel this engagement. "
After saying that, Yang Cheng suddenly felt a lot more relaxed. It was like a rock that was hanging in the air was finally put down.
Cai Ning stood behind Yang Cheng. She seemed to be struggling, but in the end, she closed her eyes, as if she was going to leave everything to fate.
"You? How are you going to bear it?! If you're so capable, why did you have to let our Ning Er suffer?! If it wasn't for Yeonyeon, I would've kicked you out right now! "Jiang Shan was furious and her face was red.
Yang Cheng shrugged and said nonchalantly, "No problem. Don't mention kicking me out, I can even crawl if my mother-in-law wants me to. But if I go out, he has to go too. "Yang Cheng pointed at where Yongye was standing.
"Yongye is the son-in-law I found. Who do you think you are?!" Jiang Shan snorted.
Cai Yuncheng finally became anxious. His wife was so aggressive. If Yang Cheng really got angry, no one would be able to stop him. Thus, he went up to help Jiang Shan up and frowned. "Alright, don't make it sound so bad. Our daughter is here. "
Jiang Shan broke free from her husband's hand and frowned. "What's wrong?! You're useless. I've been running around thinking of ways to protect Ning Er. Now, this shameless guy wants to ruin everything. Why can't I scold him?! "
Yongye was delighted to see Yang Cheng being scolded by Jiang Shan. He suddenly remembered that this was Beijing and he was a member of the Li family. Although Yang Cheng was powerful, he wouldn't dare to go against the Li family, right? Also, Cai Ning was still in a lawsuit. If it wasn't for the Li family's protection, she would've been in jail long ago.
Thus, Yongye walked up and smiled evilly. "That's right, Uncle Cai. The marriage has already been decided. How can it be changed just like that? Moreover, we can't let an outsider mess things up. If you help Yang Cheng, it'll be hard for our family to accept … "
Unexpectedly, before Yongye could finish, Yang Cheng had already appeared behind him in a flash. He swung his arm around Yongye's neck and strangled it from behind!
"Ugh …"
Yongye didn't even have time to react. His entire airway was strangled. His face turned red and he couldn't speak!
The situation changed from a conversation to a violent one!
"Ah!!" Jiang Shan screamed. She didn't expect Yang Cheng to be so fast and fierce. He actually dared to make a move right in front of her!
Under Yang Cheng's pressure, Yongye couldn't use any of his martial arts. He felt a chill in his heart. He felt a biting cold murderous aura emanating from Yang Cheng's body. He was so scared that he almost fainted!
Yang Cheng moved Yongye's body like he was a puppet. He turned around and said to Jiang Shan, "Auntie, you seem to have misunderstood something. I'm listening to you not because I'm afraid of you, but because I care about you. It's because you're the mother of my woman.
When I said that I wanted to end the marriage, I wasn't asking for your consent. I didn't use a question mark.
Whatever I say, it's what it is. I don't need anyone's consent.
Because you're Yeonyeon's mother, I won't kill you. But this guy has nothing to do with me. It'll be much easier for me to kill him than it was for Zeng Mao. "
Jiang Shan felt a chill run down her spine. When she saw the sharp gaze in Yang Cheng's eyes, she subconsciously believed Yang Cheng's words. He would really kill Yongye on the spot!
Cai Yuncheng also became nervous. He said solemnly, "Yang Cheng, don't be rash. Killing Yongye won't do you any good."
"General Cai, it's up to him whether to kill him or not." Yang Cheng sneered. He looked at Yongye and asked, "Hey, let me ask you one more time. Do you still want to take wedding photos and marry Cai Ning?"
Yongye felt like his neck was going to snap if he continued to be strangled. He forced himself to take a few breaths. He didn't care about marriage anymore. His life was more important. He answered in a hoarse voice, "No … no … I'm not getting married …"
Jiang Shan's face turned pale. She didn't expect Yongye to not even have the courage to resist. He directly pushed everything away!
Although she knew Yongye wasn't a man of steel, she didn't expect a young man with the blood of the Li family to be this timid.
Actually, she couldn't be too soft on Yongye. Everyone knew that the person who was strangling them was a demon with countless lives in his hands.
Although Yongye stubbornly wanted Cai Ning, he didn't have much true love. If he could live, he could enjoy a lot of beautiful women. Why would he throw his life away? He wasn't stupid.
Yang Cheng smiled in satisfaction. "Aiya, you should have cooperated from the start. Why did you have to make such a fuss?" He then let go of Yongye.
Yongye was as quiet as a cicada in winter now that he was free. He didn't dare to say anything else and ran out in a panic. He didn't even dare to look back.
Jiang Shan wanted to ask Yongye to stop, but he didn't dare to stop no matter how much she shouted.
Cai Yuncheng sighed. "Forget it. This marriage isn't reliable to begin with. Since Yongye said he doesn't want to get married, let's pretend it never happened."
"What do you mean it's not reliable?!" Jiang Shan screamed. "What do you know?! If Yongye doesn't marry Ning Er, do you think you can save Ning Er when the military court finds out?! "
Cai Yuncheng didn't say anything. He looked at Yang Cheng.
Yang Cheng spread his hands. "At most, I'll go strangle the judge next time and ask him to find Cai Ning innocent. It's not the first time I've done something like this."
"Hmph, do you think Beijing is your home? You should just wait for the Li family's revenge! If Yongye's cousin, Li Dun, comes, let's see how he'll deal with you. I heard that Li Dun has returned to Beijing! " Jiang Shan was so angry that she clenched her teeth. "Yang Cheng, don't blame us for being ruthless. You're just looking for trouble. Don't drag us down with you!"
"Shut up!" Cai Yuncheng reprimanded. "Since when did a woman like you have the right to make decisions for the Cai family?!"
"Do I have to rely on a weakling like you?!" Jiang Shan didn't budge an inch.
Cai Ning saw that her parents were about to quarrel, but there was nothing she could do. She turned around and silently left the living room.
Yang Cheng couldn't help but feel sorry for Cai Ning. It was no wonder that Cai Ning grew up in such a family. Her father was a conservative, and her mother didn't know the truth. She could only take care of herself while sacrificing a lot, whether it was to help her father or to take care of her younger sister.
Yang Cheng hesitated for a moment. He couldn't be bothered with the arguing couple in the living room anymore. He ran in the direction Cai Ning had left.
He followed the corridor behind the living room and came to a small stone patio in the side courtyard. Cai Ning was standing under a parasol tree, looking up at the sky in a daze.
Sunlight shone through the uneven branches and leaves, shining on Cai Ning's expressionless face. She looked like a white jade statue bathed in sunlight.
An indescribable feeling filled Yang Cheng's heart. He stood behind the woman for a long time before asking, "Are you alright?"
Cai Ning turned around and smiled in surprise. "Why?"
"Hmm?"
"Why didn't you let me go?" Cai Ning tilted her head and asked again.
