After awakening her X-ray vision, the beautiful CEO couldn't sit still any longer.

Ye Tian turned to look at Murong Qianqian: "I gave you a chance."

As you've seen, your life is worthless in Chen Tai's eyes.

Now that your life-saving money hasn't arrived, what am I supposed to do next?

"Ye Tian, ​​I beg you, please don't send me to the red-light district. I don't want to sell myself."

"I'll do anything you want, please, just let me go this time, okay?"

Murong Qianqian witnessed Ye Tian's power firsthand, and even her last reliance on him abandoned her.

Now she has no leverage left to oppose Ye Tian.

She didn't want to die, and she was even more afraid of becoming a woman who could be played with by others.

"Ye Tian, ​​I beg you, please don't sell me to those stinky men."

I will pay you back the money little by little. My family has other businesses.

"If you let us go this time, I promise I will never cause you or Murong Xue any more trouble. I swear."

Du Wenxiu pulled Murong Qianqian down to her knees with a thud.

At that moment, the sound of brakes came from outside the door, and three extended Bentleys stopped in front of Murong Qiming's door.

Murong Zhenting strode over, leaning on his cane. His full head of silver hair was neatly combed, and his eyes surveyed the entire scene like those of a hawk.

Then the old man strode up to Ye Tian, ​​grabbed Ye Tian's hand tightly, and said in a very excited voice:

"Grandson-in-law, I'm so glad to finally see you. Look, it's only been a few days, and I'm completely recovered."

I must thank you properly for saving my life.

Ye Tian smiled faintly: "You've already expressed your gratitude. Isn't the antique market the best thank you gift?"

"Grandson-in-law, the antique market alone is not enough. I have an even better gift for you."

Murong Zhenting turned to everyone present and announced:

"I have decided to betroth my granddaughter, Murong Xue, to Ye Tian."

From this day forward, Ye Tian will be my chosen grandson-in-law, Murong Zhenting's choice.

Anyone who dares to disrespect him is going against me, Murong Zhenting!

"You younger generation of the Chen family, take my words back to the Chen family. Let the Chen family decide what to do next."

The Chen family members who had come with Tie Xiong fled in a panic.

Murong Zhenting's words effectively bound the Murong family and Ye Tian together.

This also serves as a message to everyone that the marriage agreement between the Murong and Chen families is null and void.

In the past, when Chen Tai dealt with Ye Tian and Murong Xue, the Chen family could argue that it was Chen Tai's personal behavior.

If Chen Tai were to take action against Ye Tian and Murong Xue again in the future, it would no longer be Chen Tai's personal action, but rather a declaration of war on behalf of the Chen family and the Murong family.

Murong Zhenting's official announcement is tantamount to telling everyone in Jiangcheng that anyone who dares to touch Ye Tian will be making an enemy of the entire Murong family.

Although the Murong family is not as powerful as before, it is still one of the four major families in Jiangcheng, and its strength should not be underestimated.

"Grandpa, you didn't even ask me if I agreed before you made it official."

"What era are we living in? You still arrange marriages?" Murong Xue blushed and turned her head away shyly.

"Xue'er, I've watched you grow up, and I know your thoughts perfectly well."

Men should marry when they are of age and women should marry when they are of age; there's nothing to be embarrassed about.

If you really don't want to, I'll issue another official announcement to cancel your engagement.

However, there are quite a few women in Jiangcheng who are eager to marry Ye Tian.

I heard that the young lady from the Wang family is very willing. Are you sure you can bear to part with her?

Murong Zhenting, that old fox, knows how to manipulate people's hearts.

"Grandpa, you're really disrespectful to your elders, I'm ignoring you."

Murong Xue ran to the side, her face flushed.

"Haha, this girl, she just likes to say one thing and mean another, cold on the outside but warm on the inside."

Murong Zhenting held Ye Tian's hand tightly, unwilling to let go: "Grandson-in-law, you still have to give this old man some face today."

Qiming, Wenxiu, and Qianqian—one is my son, one is my daughter-in-law, and one is my granddaughter. I bear a great responsibility for not raising them well.

I'll make up for the money they owe Xue'er.

I believe they will learn their lesson after what happened today.

Please, grandson-in-law, give them another chance to correct their mistakes and start anew, okay?

Murong Zhenting spoke sincerely, even with a hint of pleading.

"Ye Tian, ​​since Grandpa has said so, let's leave it at that."

Murong Xue couldn't bear to push things too far; after all, they were still members of the Murong family, related by blood.

Moreover, she vented her anger and retrieved some of her mother's belongings.

"Alright, since you all say so, I won't insist anymore."

Murong Qiming, Murong Qianqian, Du Wenxiu, listen up! You still owe Xue'er a debt you haven't paid off yet.

If you ever dare to have any bad intentions towards Xue'er again, I'll settle all the old and new scores with you.

Many things are done by people, and Heaven is watching; retribution may be delayed, but it will come eventually.

Ye Tian coldly warned.

"We will definitely mend our ways and never dare to be disrespectful to you and Xue'er again."

Murong Qiming, Du Wenxiu, and Murong Qianqian were overjoyed to hear that Ye Tian intended to give up.

Murong Qianqian and Du Wenxiu, in particular, were so moved they wanted to cry.

"Grandson-in-law, come on over to my place for tea. Let's have a good chat."

Murong Zhenting enthusiastically pulled Ye Tian out.

"Alright, I was a bit thirsty anyway."

Ye Tian followed Murong Zhenting to the old Murong family residence.

There is a dedicated ancient-style tea room with blue brick flooring, and many valuable jade and porcelain pieces displayed on the rosewood antique shelves. Several paintings and calligraphy works by famous artists are hanging on the walls, all of which are unique and priceless.

"Grandson-in-law, I've heard a bit about what's been going on with you lately."

To possess such skill at such a young age is truly something I have never seen before in my life.

Murong Zhenting picked up the teapot and calmly brewed a pot of fine tea.

Ye Tian took the teacup and slowly took a sip. Although he didn't know much about tea, he could tell that this was the best tea he had ever tasted.

It's much better than what I drank at the ghost market.

"Patriarch Murong, please don't flatter me." Ye Tian smiled.

"The first time I saw you, I felt that you were different from others and that you would surely achieve great things in the future."

I just didn't expect you to improve so quickly.

In such a short time, such amazing achievements have been made.

"I couldn't even imagine your speed!"

Murong Zhenting's eyes held both relief and worry.

"Grandson-in-law, you must take good care of Xue'er for me from now on."

This girl has suffered too much since she was a child.

I'm getting old, so I'll leave the task of protecting her to you from now on.

My only wish is that she can live a happy life.

Can you grant me this request?

Murong Zhenting's expression was extremely serious.

"Don't worry, Patriarch Murong, I promise you I will protect her for the rest of her life."

Ye Tian knew that Murong Xue had now developed feelings for him.

As long as she doesn't abandon him, Ye Tian will never leave her.

"Great, great! Xue'er's parents will be so happy to hear this good news."

Murong Zhenting burst into tears.

He had witnessed Ye Tian's abilities firsthand; there was no man in the entire Jiangcheng more outstanding than Ye Tian.

Murong Zhenting felt at ease handing Murong Xue over to Ye Tian.
