Chapter 191: Chapter 191 Verbal Battle

Hearing Shen Silin’s assessment of himself, Young Master Li remained composed and nonchalant, "Selin, it seems you know me quite well. Knowing me so well, are you sure you won’t marry me?"

"Positive," Shen Silin responded coldly, "Even if all the men in the world died, I would rather remain alone for my entire life than marry you."

"Very good," Young Master Li smiled, "Then from now on, any man who appears by your side, I will kill. He, Yang Yu, will be the first."

Young Master Li spoke the harshest words in the calmest tone, yet no one thought he was joking.

"What a pity, Yang Yu is quite handsome too!"

"It’s his fault for being with someone he shouldn’t be with!"

"Alas, I wish him the best of luck!"

The onlookers all felt sorry for Yang Yu, but Yang Yu himself wasn’t the slightest bit concerned, "Young Master Li, I’ve observed your face and you seem to be someone with a frail destiny, doomed not to live past the age of thirty-five. Are you sure you can kill me before you die?"

"Ha, you can read fortunes?" Young Master Li asked with a slight smile, "I think you’re just trying to win an argument with words! I had thought you had some real skills, but it turns out you’re just another incompetent person cursing his opponents."

"I’m really not cursing you," Yang Yu said earnestly, "Has anyone told you that you are a Chosen Son, that if it were ancient times, you’d surely be destined to be a local ruler? That in the right era, contending for the central plains wouldn’t be impossible?"

As soon as Yang Yu said this, Young Master Li’s expression finally changed, "You really can read fortunes!"

"Do you think someone who can only incompetently curse his opponent would dare to compete with Young Master Li for a woman?" Yang Yu said confidently, "So, do you still think you can kill me?"

Young Master Li quickly regained his composure, looking indifferent, "I’ve heard that fortune-tellers can’t predict their own futures, so, you’re still going to die. Enjoy tonight, for you may not see tomorrow’s sun."

With that, Young Master Li turned and walked into the house, apparently not wanting to say anymore to Yang Yu.

"Not bad," Shen Silin said, looking at Yang Yu with a strange expression, "You managed to depress Young Master Li, that’s some talent. But that thing you said about him not living past thirty-five, is it true?"

"The words ’fate’ and ’destiny’ are quite nuanced. A person’s birth and various environments are ’fate’, which indeed can’t be changed. ’Fortune’ is about personal choices and efforts. When ’fortune’ becomes strong enough, it can change ’fate’."

Yang Yu explained, "If he continues on this path, not living past thirty-five is inevitable. However, if he changes his ways now and immediately becomes a monk or a Taoist, living to a ripe old age of seventy or eighty wouldn’t be a problem."

Shen Silin: "..."

With Young Master Li having caused such a scene, the Shen family’s bodyguards no longer dared to stop Yang Yu.

He was someone who dared to fight Young Master Li’s bodyguards and confront Young Master Li himself. Who would dare to stop him?

Yang Yu and Shen Silin walked into the Shen family’s home openly and aboveboard, with Shen Silin even deliberately linking arms with Yang Yu, looking like a pair of newlyweds.

But as soon as the Shen family members saw Shen Silin and Yang Yu, none of them looked pleased.

They resented Shen Silin for being a girl and yet inheriting so much of the Shen family’s fortune.

They also blamed her for not marrying Young Master Li and causing such a mess, offending Young Master Li.

If Young Master Li wiped out the Shen family in a fit of anger, whom could they turn to?

So, although they were family, they looked at Shen Silin as if she were an enemy, grinding their teeth in anger.

Shen Silin couldn’t be bothered with them and directly took a seat beside her mother.

Yang Yu didn’t bother with the Shen Family’s formalities, and since they didn’t arrange a seat for him, he simply grabbed a chair and sat next to Shen Silin.

Mrs. Shen gave Yang Yu a cold look, "You really did sweep my daughter off her feet without even asking for my opinion, that’s too much."

Yang Yu spread his hands helplessly, "Mrs. Shen, then let me ask now, do you agree with me being with Selin?"

Mrs. Shen proudly curled her lips, "I do not."

"All right," Yang Yu sighed, "then may I call you ’Mom’?"

Mrs. Shen suddenly beamed with joy, "What a good son-in-law, that’s more like it!"

Shen Silin (once again), "..."

The banquet hadn’t even started yet, and although the familiar people were chatting with each other, not a single one approached Yang Yu.

Although everyone was in the Shen house, the events that had happened outside had already spread.

In their eyes, Yang Yu was already a dead man, and it wasn’t worth offending Young Master Li just to make connections with someone who was as good as dead.

The Wen Family sent Wen Jinyi, who was on good terms with Young Master Li, while the Bai Family was represented by Bai Xuedan’s father He Zhixin and mother Bai Shufen, two people who would certainly not give Yang Yu the time of day.

The Xiao Family sent Xiao Long, Xiao Feng’s older brother, a man who clearly looked like he wasn’t long for this world.

Even if Xiao Feng told her older brother Xiao Long that Yang Yu could lift the family curse, Xiao Long stubbornly believed his wife, thinking that Xiao Feng and Yang Yu were conspiring against him to plot for the Xiao Family’s wealth.

Therefore, Xiao Long also had a very bad impression of Yang Yu.

The Luo Family was represented by Luo Xuankai’s father Luo Zhongda, and the Yu Family by Yu Xincheng’s younger brother Yu Xinyuan, while Yang Yu simply did not recognize anyone from the Wang Family, Tian Family, Liu Family, or Fu Family.

And so, the guests from the ten great families present were either enemies of Yang Yu or complete strangers, which naturally left Yang Yu all alone.

Seeing that no one paid attention to Yang Yu, the Shen Brothers were delighted.

Shen Sirui approached Yang Yu, with a face begging to be punched, sniggered, "Look here, big sis, opening a duck shop is one thing, and we could pretend not to know if you enjoy some ducks yourself, but to bring a duck home? Have you no shame? Why don’t you tell everyone how tasty this duck you brought home is? Little brother will help you drum up more customers for his business?"

"Haha..." The crowd broke into loud laughter, their eyes filled with nothing but contempt for Yang Yu.

As for Yang Yu’s identity, the Shen Brothers had spread the word everywhere, and everyone in the hall was aware of it.

With this provocation, everyone’s disdain for Yang Yu grew, and mockery was inevitable.

Both Mrs. Shen and Shen Silin were about to scold Shen Sirui, but Yang Yu spoke up himself, "Exactly, exactly, I’m a duck, and your sister prefers a duck over Young Master Li. Doesn’t that mean you’re saying Young Master Li is even worse than a duck?"

As soon as Yang Yu uttered these words, everyone’s faces changed dramatically, and Shen Sirui turned red with panic, "I didn’t mean that, you’re talking nonsense!"

"Whether you meant it or not, the facts are in front of us," Yang Yu stood up, his smile directed at the entire crowd. "You all laughed so loudly just now, you must have been laughing that Young Master Li can’t even compare to a duck, right?"

Now it wasn’t just Shen Sirui who was panicked, but also those who laughed loudly were anxious, "Don’t talk nonsense! We were clearly laughing at you!"

"You’re obviously a slick talker with your honeyed words, such a person has no right to be here!"
