Chapter 251: Chapter 250, Playing the Rogue

Looking at her nephew’s wary expression toward Xu Wendong, Fang Shuya’s beautiful eyes showed a hint of doubt, "Do you two know each other?"

Xu Wendong cheerfully looked at Fang Cong, who was also Su Li’s fiancé, "I had the privilege of cooking dinner for Mr. Fang, and he found it especially delicious."

Delicious, my ass!

Fang Cong almost cursed. He’d probably never forget the time when he ended up in the proctology hospital after returning from Qingshan Village, especially with that burning sensation.

To this day, he didn’t want to recall it, but the moment he saw Xu Wendong, he felt his butt was on fire again, with someone continuously slicing it with a small knife.

Hot and painful!

Of course.

He didn’t dare speak disrespectfully to Xu Wendong, as this guy was formidable enough to defeat a first-rate master on the Potential Dragon Ranking.

"Shuya, where is that Auspicious Green Dragon Vase?"

Accompanied by a loud voice, Old Master Fang hobbled out with a bowed back and weak steps. Two maids followed, wanting to assist him but hesitating to touch him for fear of offending him and causing a fall.

He was already in his twilight years, his wrinkled face marked by age, and his left eye, for some unknown reason, was missing its eyeball, making for a scary sight.

He walked tremblingly, as if a light breeze could topple him.

Despite this.

Xu Wendong felt a surge of reverence in his heart. Previously unaware of Fang Shuya’s identity, he now realized the frail old man before him was the renowned God of War of the Fang family.

One of the few living old heroes.

"Father, slow down." Fang Shuya hastily held her father, then said, "I’ve already brought that Auspicious Green Dragon Vase." She glanced at Xu Wendong as she spoke.

Xu Wendong gently placed the wooden box down, then took out the Auspicious Green Dragon Vase wrapped in newspaper.

When he took out the vase, Elder Fang’s eyes sparkled with excitement as he said to Fang Cong, "Quick, quick, fetch my magnifying glass!"

Fang Cong eagerly brought over the magnifying glass, handing it to Elder Fang, allowing him to admire the exquisite porcelain. The more Elder Fang looked, the more he liked it. Then he turned to Xu Wendong, his eyes filled with bitterness, "Young friend, would you really not part with this treasure and sell it to my Fang family?"

"It’s not that..." Xu Wendong’s face was full of urgency, "Elder, you can’t do this!"

"We agreed I would take the Auspicious Phoenix Vase from your Fang family, and agreed to bring this Auspicious Green Dragon Vase for you to see, so why have you suddenly changed your mind?"

"You can’t go back on your word!"

If it were anyone else, Xu Wendong would have turned around and left.

However.

Elder Fang was someone he respected.

What Xu Wendong didn’t expect was that Elder Fang showed an expression that seemed kind but, in Xu Wendong’s eyes, was very cunning, "I won’t hide it from you. This Qinglong Ruyi Vase is very important to me as it’s the betrothal gift prepared by our Fang family."

"That’s precisely why I used this method to invite you, hoping you wouldn’t be angered."

"You are truly a sly old fox!" Xu Wendong let out a wry smile.

To be fair.

If the Fang family wasn’t willing to hand over the Auspicious Phoenix Vase, he certainly wouldn’t have come to the Fang family.

And now.

He had the feeling of being caught in a predicament.

After all.

Old Master Fang was a decorated war hero, an eminent figure.

Now that he had taken a liking to this item, Xu Wendong wouldn’t mind presenting it as a tribute without regret.

But the problem was.

He intended to gift this Blue and White Ruyi Qinglong Vase to the Su family as a meeting gift.

"Father, isn’t it too extravagant to give both Qinghua porcelains to the Su family?" Fang Shuya’s voice rang out. There was no avoiding it; the Su family had someone influential, and giving such expensive gifts could spark many rumors.

"What? Giving them to the Su family?" Xu Wendong was full of surprise, then looked at the nervous Fang Cong. Clearly, Fang Cong hadn’t told his family about himself and Su Li.

Xu Wendong seriously said, "Elder, I respect you. If you truly like this Blue and White Ruyi Qinglong Vase, I won’t ask for a single penny, considering it a tribute to you."

"But if you’re giving it to the Su family as a betrothal gift, then I’m afraid I cannot agree."

Old Master Fang asked puzzled, "Why is that?"

Xu Wendong responded angrily, "Su Li is my woman. Do you think it’s proper for me to sell a treasure I found to someone else, for them to use it as a betrothal gift to marry my woman?"

Dumbfounded, Old Master Fang said, "What are you talking about? That Su family girl is clearly the bride of our Fang family. Our two families have a marriage arrangement, so how did she become your woman?"

Beside him, Fang Shuya also showed a look of disbelief.

Who in the provincial capital didn’t know about the marriage contract between the Fang family and the Su family?

Who didn’t know that the girl Su Li would soon become the daughter-in-law of the Fang family?

"Cong’er, what’s going on? Is what he says true?" Old Master Fang looked furiously at his grandson.

Fang Cong was too nervous to know what to do, "Grandfather, I’ve always liked Li Li, as you know, but... feelings can’t be forced!"

"Li Li never liked me. She likes this guy."

Fang Cong had thought about telling his family about himself and Su Li.

Because he didn’t want Xu Wendong to cuckold him.

But he had no idea how to start, and who would have thought Xu Wendong would accidentally come to the Fang family and reveal publicly that Su Li was his woman.

This was simply a slap to the Fang family’s face!

"You little bastard, you’re just a little bastard!" Old Master Fang bellowed in rage, pointing at Fang Cong and cursing, "You can’t even secure the childhood sweetheart you’re betrothed to, not to mention someone else snatched her away. How can I, Fang Zhenxing, have such a useless grandson? Don’t you know you’ve embarrassed me?"

Fang Cong lowered his head in grievance.

Was it my fault?

Blame Xu Wendong, if he hadn’t won Su Li’s heart, how could I have lost so disastrously?

Seeing Old Master Fang’s face turn pale with anger and his body shaking, Xu Wendong said, "Elder, we young ones now view marriage as free love, mutual consent, not the era of parental matchmakers and arranged engagements!"

He himself greatly respected the contributions Old Master Fang had made. Now, upon learning he snatched his grandson’s bride, not only did the elder not blame him, but instead blamed his grandson for being incompetent. Such a worldview was very correct!

Who wouldn’t respect a moral, broad-minded elder like this?

Old Master Fang sighed with resignation and said, "Young friend, I understand your thoughts. You refuse to let your treasure be used as a bride price for marrying someone dear to you; that’s very human nature, and I won’t force you."

"But have you given any thought to the fact that the Auspicious Phoenix Vase is also a betrothal gift prepared by our Fang family for a grandson’s bride?"

"You wouldn’t blame this old man for not giving you that Auspicious Phoenix Vase, would you?" he said, showing a challenging look, seemingly retaliating against Xu Wendong for the tremendous shame of taking his grandson’s bride.
