Supreme Warrior in the City
Chapter 459 - 458

Chapter 459: 458

Su Yang furrowed his brow; Ye Wantong’s marriage arrangement truly was very sudden.

However, Su Yang hadn’t paid much attention to these matters. After all, he and Ye Wantong were barely acquaintances.

Due to Ye Jiansheng’s circumstances, he had been forced to spend three days with Ye Wantong recently. But that didn’t mean he had any particular feelings for Ye Wantong.

Moreover, the last time Ye Wantong stopped him at the train station entrance and spoke to him, her words had made Su Yang somewhat resistant to her.

So, as for Ye Wantong’s engagement, Su Yang truly didn’t care.

And now, Ying’er had actually come to ask him for help, to aid Ye Wantong. Wasn’t this a joke? It was someone else’s wedding; how could he help? Besides, in what capacity would he be there to help?

In fact, after the battle in the mountain cave, Su Yang had been in a coma. Ye Wantong hadn’t told him about the events that followed his coma, so Su Yang was unaware of what sacrifices Ye Wantong had made for him, let alone what she had done.

And Ye Wantong, being shy, was also reluctant to talk about these things, which led to the current state of their relationship.

One of them was concerned, but the other, knowing nothing, simply didn’t care.

"This is the Ye Family’s family affair..." Su Yang said in a solemn voice, "How can I help?"

"This..." Ying’er was stunned and appeared anxious: "But, Wan Tong really doesn’t want to marry someone she has never even heard of!"

"If she doesn’t want to marry, she should tell her father!" Su Yang said: "It’s her own marriage; can’t she decide for herself?"

"She does want to tell him, but her father disagrees!" Ying’er replied: "Her father said this marriage is of great importance. For this marriage, he has even... even locked her at home these past few days, not allowing her to leave..."

"Marriage is, after all, a matter of parental orders and the matchmaker’s word. Since her father has agreed, then it’s as good as settled." Su Yang said: "If she doesn’t want to marry, she should speak to her father herself. We are, after all, outsiders; getting involved is not good."

"You..." Ying’er glared at Su Yang angrily: "Do you really consider yourself an outsider to her?"

Su Yang frowned and said to Ying’er, "What’s wrong with that?"

"Why are you men like this!" Ying’er shouted furiously: "When something like this happens to her, the first person she thinks of is you, and... and this is how you treat her?"

A tremor went through Su Yang’s heart; he hadn’t expected that Ye Wantong’s first thought would be of him.

"Furthermore, do you really think this is a suitable match?" Ying’er shouted angrily: "That Su Tianyu, for the engagement, didn’t show up himself, just sent some distant cousin to scout on his behalf. What’s the meaning of this? Is it contempt or an insult to Wan Tong?"

"I don’t know what kind of background this Su Tianyu has, or what Ye Jiansheng sees in him. But what I do know is that there should be at least a minimum of respect between a married couple. Not even appearing in person, only sending a cousin to check, what does he take Wan Tong for?"

"Su Yang, even if you treat Wan Tong as an outsider. But having been through so much together, she at least counts as your friend, doesn’t she? Your friend is facing this, being insulted like this, don’t you want to help her at all?"

"You even say that one should go through fire and water for a friend; is this how you treat your own friend?"

By the end of her speech, Ying’er’s voice had become quite angry. She was clearly disappointed in Su Yang.

Su Yang’s brow was furrowed; he did not refute Ying’er’s words because he felt there was some truth to them.

Just as Ying’er said, between him and Ye Wantong, they could at least be counted as friends. Seeing Ye Wantong insulted like this, for him, a friend, to sit idly by, really wasn’t appropriate!

"Forget it, I was wrong about you!" Ying’er stood up furiously, "I thought you were different from the rest, I thought you really treated your friends well, but it turns out it’s all the same. I’ll handle this matter myself. Wan Tong is my best friend, and I won’t let anyone insult her like this!"

After saying that, Ying’er turned and stormed off without lingering a moment longer.

Inside the room, Su Yang fell into silence alone.

Ying’er was right, he couldn’t just sit back and do nothing about this matter.

But the problem was, how should he intervene in such a situation? A marriage matter, that’s a family affair, how should he get involved?

After a moment of silence, Su Yang opened the door and walked out.

Ying’er, fuming with rage, walked to the parking lot, opened the car door, got in, and started the car but then didn’t know where to go. Angrily, she slapped the steering wheel and cursed, "Stupid man, stupid man, you don’t understand anything!"

Just then, a gentle voice suddenly came from beside her, "Stop hitting it, if you break the steering wheel, how will we get down the mountain?"

Ying’er turned in surprise and saw Su Yang standing beside the car, quietly watching her.

Ying’er was overjoyed and quickly opened the car door, "You... you’re coming down the mountain with me?"

"Of course!" replied Su Yang, "Otherwise, how are we going to help Ye Wantong with her marriage issue?"

"You... you’re really going to help Wan Tong?" Ying’er said with a face full of joy.

"What else?" said Su Yang, "You said it yourself, she’s my friend, at the very least I can’t let her be insulted!"

Su Yang got into the car and said, "Stop dawdling, let’s go!"

Ying’er then snapped out of it and excitedly drove the car out of the clubhouse, "So are we heading straight to the Ye family now?"

"Nonsense, if we go to the Ye family now, do you want to completely fall out with them?" Su Yang said, "I can’t beat Sword Saint Ye Jiansheng!"

"So what will you do?" Ying’er asked, curious.

"Wait outside the Ye family’s place..." Su Yang said, "Wait for Chen Benhao to come out, give him a beating, and tell him to go back and tell his cousin that the marriage deal is off. If his brother is not happy with that, he can come to Pingnan Province and find me personally!"

Ying’er couldn’t help but cover her mouth and chuckle, "Stop joking, tell me, what’s your actual plan?"

"That is my plan!" affirmed Su Yang.

"What nonsense are you talking?" Ying’er looked shocked, "You’re really going to fight Chen Benhao? He’s not an easy opponent! You guys barely avoided fighting today; if this gets bigger, the situation... it won’t be easy to resolve..."

Su Yang said, "So what? For a friend, I would take a knife in my ribs, and I’ve still got a few ribs to spare!"

Ying’er’s face turned red; she had used such words to incite Su Yang earlier. Now that he said it, it also made her feel quite ashamed.

However, having Su Yang’s help made her very happy. After all, she really couldn’t solve this matter on her own!
