Chapter 344: Chapter 344 I Oppose This Marriage

Chen Fan was stunned.

He hadn’t expected Su Qingyan’s marriage to be one of coercion.

"Does this mean that the words Qingyan said to me yesterday were all lies, that she was just pretending to be heartless and dumped me to prevent me from being harmed by the Jiang Family?"

With this thought, Chen Fan’s heart, which had already been dead, was once again ignited with hope.

He turned his head and asked Mu Qingqing, "Is this Jiang Family very powerful?"

Mu Qingqing said, "Of course, they’re powerful. The Jiang Family has masters of the Divine Realm within their ranks."

A cold smile appeared on Chen Fan’s lips.

He understood why Su Qingyan had chosen to sever ties with him to protect him. This foolish girl must have thought that he couldn’t possibly grow strong enough in a year’s time to contend with a Divine Realm master and was thus forced to accept this marriage arrangement.

However, Su Qingyan had no idea that in this past year, Chen Fan’s growth had been rapid, and he now possessed the strength to stand against the Divine Realm.

And unless they were extraordinary Divine Realm masters, he simply didn’t consider ordinary ones a threat.

Chen Fan exhaled a long breath and felt much more pleasant.

As long as Su Qingyan’s heart hadn’t truly changed, then there was still a chance to salvage everything.

His gaze landed on Jiang Yunlei, who stood beside Su Qingyan. His eyes emitted bursts of cold light. Since the Jiang Family was so unreasonable, then they couldn’t blame him for not being courteous!

At that moment, Mu Tianxiong came to the crowd, smiling and saying, "Ladies and gentlemen, today is a joyous day for our Mu Family and the Jiang Family to unite in marriage. Qingyan and Yunlei truly make a handsome couple. Their union is a match made in heaven. To express our joy, let’s all have a drink together. Once we finish this cup, it will signify that the marriage between our Mu Family and the Jiang Family is settled!"

Everyone raised their glasses.

Just then, Chen Fan stood up and said loudly, "I object to this marriage!"

The courtyard suddenly fell silent.

All eyes turned toward Chen Fan.

Mu Qingqing’s face changed dramatically, and she quickly tugged at Chen Fan, exclaiming, "Have you lost your mind? Sit down this instant!"

Su Qingyan hadn’t expected Chen Fan to stand up at such a moment. After a brief shock, worry flooded her face. She turned her head to glance at Jiang Yunlei and upon seeing his extremely dark expression, her heart suspended even further.

Mu Tianxiong glared at Chen Fan and barked, "Qingqing, control your boyfriend. If he wants to be crazy, let him do it somewhere else, not here making a spectacle of himself!"

Mu Qingqing was sweating profusely with anxiety, but no matter how hard she tugged, Chen Fan remained unmoved.

Chen Fan glanced at Mu Tianxiong and said coldly, "Old Mr. Mu, you know very well whether I am Qingqing’s boyfriend or not. I thought Qingyan was marrying this Mr. Jiang willingly, but I had no idea she was being forced!"

"Qingyan is the woman I love the most, and no one can force her unless they step over my dead body!"

Everyone present was shocked.

Mu Qingqing looked at Chen Fan, stunned, then suddenly remembering something, she murmured, "You... you’re the guy my cousin likes?"

Chen Fan nodded, "That’s right! Qingyan and I are truly in love. I promised her that I would come to the Capital to find her after a year, but I never imagined she would be bullied by you Jiangs like this. How could I endure that!"

He looked at Su Qingyan with a serious face and said, "Qingyan, I already know that what you told me yesterday was all lies. Don’t worry, as long as I’m here, no one dares to force you!"

At this moment, Su Qingyan could no longer hold back. With tears streaming down her face, she stood up and ran towards Chen Fan.

She threw her arms around Chen Fan, gripping tightly to the man she had been longing for the entire year, and sobbing, she said, "You fool, why do you have to do this? The Jiang Family is not someone we can afford to provoke. By doing this, you’re just pushing yourself into an abyss."

However, she was very clear that based on what Chen Fan had just said, the Jiang Family would certainly not let him off the hook either, so she didn’t waste words and looked at Chen Fan seriously, "But since things have come to this point, even if it’s an abyss, I’ll jump into it with you!"

Chen Fan smiled and pinched her cheek, saying, "You’re the fool. You should have told me this earlier. I almost wanted to die last night. If I had known earlier that you were being forced by this damned Jiang Family, I would have exterminated the Jiang Family yesterday!"

Jiang Longshan watched the scene with a dark expression and said coldly, "What a farce! A daughter-in-law of the Jiang Family cannot be treated so lightly by others. Someone, kill this boy for me!"

At this moment, Jiang Yunlei stood up, gestured with his hands toward Jiang Longshan, and said, "Father, I’ll handle this matter."

Then he walked toward Chen Fan, bursting out his aura fully, revealing himself to be a seventh-level expert of the Transformation Realm.

"Qingyan is my fiancée, and you, a rat from the sewers, dare to come here and make noise. Do you really think I, Jiang Yunlei, am easy to provoke!"

Su Qingyan quickly protected Chen Fan behind her and said, "Jiang Yunlei, I never intended to be your fiancée. All of it was just you using the power of the Jiang Family to coerce me. Now I’ve seen through it all. Even if I die, I will never marry someone like you! If you want to kill Chen Fan, you’ll have to kill me first!"

Chen Fan helplessly smiled and pulled Su Qingyan behind him, saying, "It seems you have underestimated my growth this past year. Stay back and watch. I will prove that I am fully qualified to protect you!"

Jiang Yunlei’s gaze was venomous. This guy had caused a commotion at his own engagement party, which was not just a slap in his own face, but also a disgrace to the Jiang Family. If he did not kill this ignorant fool today, he would surely be the laughingstock in the future.

Without hesitation, he charged toward Chen Fan.

"Boy, prepare to die!"

Mu Tianxiong frowned deeply, uncertain whether to intervene. After struggling with the decision, he finally sighed, "Forget it. If he’s courting death, he has only himself to blame."

The people from the Jiang Family coldly watched Chen Fan, thinking the man who came out of nowhere was just seeking his own demise.

Jiang Yunlei, only twenty-eight years old, had already reached the seventh level of the Transformation Realm, a once-in-a-century genius of the Jiang Family. How could such a powerless nobody contend with him?

All they saw was Jiang Yunlei’s body turning into a streak of light, concentrating all his strength into a fierce attack towards Chen Fan.

Chen Fan merely watched the scene with a cold gaze.

Su Qingyan’s body trembled with fear. She made up her mind that if Chen Fan died with this strike from Jiang Yunlei, she would immediately kill herself, joining Chen Fan on the Netherworld Road.

But just when Jiang Yunlei closed in on him, Chen Fan suddenly leaped up, delivering a flying kick that landed squarely on Jiang Yunlei’s chest.

With a crack.

Jiang Yunlei’s breastbone shattered. His body was launched like a cannonball into a three- to four-meter-thick tree in the yard, which he promptly broke with a thunderous crash.

Jiang Yunlei fell to the ground weakly, spewing mouthfuls of blood, and it was evident he was moments from death.

Chen Fan stood proudly, staring at the gasping Jiang Yunlei, and said coldly, "A mere seventh level of the Transformation Realm and you thought to kill me? You must be drunk on cheap liquor!"
