Chapter 743: Chapter 743

Mr. Xu furrowed his brows slightly, then said to Zhang Yang, "Mr. Zhang Yang, could this matter wait until after the banquet?"

"Don’t worry. If this boy truly did something excessive to you, I will teach him a harsh lesson."

Even Old Master Xu was giving Zhang Yang this much respect, leaving Lin Fucheng utterly dumbfounded.

This kid was just one of Tang Tiantian’s former students, wasn’t he?

He had asked about it yesterday, and Tang Tiantian mentioned it was from her time as a countryside teacher, when she taught Zhang Yang in high school.

When Lin Fucheng heard that, he figured Zhang Yang was just a low-level guy who came out of the countryside, so he hadn’t paid him any attention at all.

At most, he thought of avoiding direct confrontation since Zhang Yang was good at fighting.

But now, not only was Zhang Yang Xu Caimei’s boyfriend, he also seemed highly valued by Li Lei and Xu Guangzhi. Even Mr. Xu was giving him face.

His tone had even softened a little.

Damn, this time he had really kicked the iron plate.

Zhang Yang then chuckled and said to Mr. Xu, "Mr., that’s really impossible. This matter needs to be addressed now. Otherwise, it will only become more troublesome later, for your Xu Family as well."

Mr. Xu’s face darkened slightly; he hadn’t expected that after giving Zhang Yang so much respect, Zhang Yang would be so blunt.

But now, he understood Zhang Yang’s energy—Xu Guangzhi had reached his current status thanks to Zhang Yang’s assistance.

Not to mention, Zhang Yang had even saved Xu Guangzhi’s life.

"Fine. Then say it. Today I’ll cast my old face aside."

He then addressed the guests present, "They say family scandals shouldn’t be publicized, but this old man is past his prime anyway. Today, let’s call it entertainment for you all—it’ll ensure this birthday banquet wasn’t held in vain."

The guests chuckled in consolation, but they wouldn’t miss out on the unfolding drama.

Lin Fucheng was visibly uneasy after hearing Mr. Xu’s words.

"Dad!" Lin Fucheng cautiously called out.

"Don’t call me Dad just yet. If you can’t give Zhang Yang a satisfactory explanation today, the father-son bond between us ends here."

Seeing her son treated like this, Liu Qingxia was immediately displeased.

"How can you treat him this way? He’s my son, your son too. Haven’t I been good enough to you?"

"Shut up." Mr. Xu shot Liu Qingxia a glare. Acting so oblivious in such a moment—truly shortsighted.

But suddenly, Liu Qingxia began pulling at her collar. Already dressed in a low-cut gown, her action almost exposed her completely.

Even so, most of her upper body was revealed.

Bruises in shades of purple and blue were visible on her skin.

"When you were having your fun with me, why didn’t you tell me to shut up? You asked me to cry out louder instead."

The crowd looked on in shock at the woman, whose figure was slightly sagging but still voluptuous.

Were words like this supposed to be said in public? Mr. Xu certainly had chosen quite the character.

And yet, for someone already seventy years old, to still indulge so much—it was oddly impressive.

Although Mr. Xu had confidently said earlier that everyone should enjoy the show, he hadn’t anticipated the drama to escalate like this. This woman was truly not fit for polite society.

Seeing that Mr. Xu was on the verge of erupting in anger, Lin Fucheng quickly pulled Liu Qingxia to his side. "Mom, please stop talking."

He then turned to Mr. Xu and said, "Mr. Xu, there isn’t much enmity between me and Zhang Yang. Rest assured on that point."

Lin Fucheng knew that if he didn’t say something, he shouldn’t even think about being Mr. Xu’s son anymore—and the five million he was set to receive might be taken back.

So cleverly, he decided to disassociate himself from Zhang Yang since the Xu Family clearly valued him.

Mr. Xu’s expression finally softened considerably. "What exactly is going on?"

"Well, it’s like this: I’ve had some bad luck recently and lost some money gambling, which caused some friction with my creditors and implicated my wife. And just then, Zhang Yang came across the situation. He’s my wife’s former student, and seeing her being bullied by those men, he couldn’t stand it and came to her defense. I suppose he has some issues with me because of that."

"So I’ve caused trouble for everyone. But since it’s all out in the open now, I’d like to apologize to my wife and Zhang Yang."

"I admit I’ve been foolish and reckless, gambling away money. I won’t go near those things from now on."

"Also, I hope my wife will give me another chance and hope Mr. Xu can bear witness to this."

Lin Fucheng’s earnest-looking, honest face paired with his pretended sincerity really delivered an impression.

Giving him an air of repentance, his actions seemed to evoke sympathy. Men making mistakes and owning up wasn’t unusual among the distinguished guests present.

On the surface, it all sounded like just a minor misunderstanding.

For such a seemingly trivial issue to disrupt someone’s birthday banquet—it did seem overly excessive.

This left quite a few attendees murmuring critically about Zhang Yang.

Mr. Xu also turned his attention to Zhang Yang. "Mr. Zhang Yang, is what this boy said true?"

Li Lei and Xu Guangzhi looked toward Zhang Yang as well. They both knew him well enough to sense that the situation likely wasn’t so simple.

Zhang Yang gestured to Mr. Xu with a hook of his finger. "Let me borrow the microphone for a moment."

Mr. Xu tossed the microphone to Zhang Yang without hesitation.

Lin Fucheng’s eyes followed Zhang Yang closely, glaring as he also shot Tang Tiantian a warning glance, signaling her to stay out of it.

Tang Tiantian didn’t look at Zhang Yang. She trusted he wouldn’t harm her, didn’t care about losing face, and left everything in Zhang Yang’s hands.

Zhang Yang spoke into the microphone, "What he said is right, but there are some details he missed. Allow me to explain them properly."

"Zhang Yang, don’t go on. No matter what, I already recognize my mistakes and have apologized to you all."

Lin Fucheng’s shout betrayed his nervousness.

Mr. Xu cast Lin Fucheng a sidelong glance before looking back at Zhang Yang. "Go ahead," he said.

Pointing at Lin Fucheng, Zhang Yang said, "This scumbag lost his house to gambling and racked up over two million in debt from loan sharks."

"And early this morning, he sold his wife to his creditors for fifty thousand yuan."

Tang Tiantian’s gaze was steadfast, completely unperturbed by Zhang Yang’s public exposure of this information.

Zhang Yang had already explained it to her earlier. As long as it meant reclaiming her child, she didn’t care about what others thought.

Moreover, Zhang Yang was right—the one who should feel ashamed was not her.

The crowd erupted in shock. People had heard of selling houses or land, but selling a wife?

"My teacher is still breastfeeding, and this scumbag beats and scolds her without hesitation."

"You expect your Xu Family to entrust someone like this with taking care of your elderly?"

"Actually, I’m quite curious—how much did he sell his mother for? I wonder if Mr. Xu could satisfy this curiosity of mine."

As soon as Zhang Yang uttered these words, the guests finally pieced everything together.

Someone who sold his wife in the morning—by evening, his mother had become Mr. Xu’s little wife?
