Chapter 4266 The Difficulties of Being an Older Brother
I knew Yang Mengfan had feelings for me, but I rejected her from the beginning. I never expected that Yang Mengfan and her brother would come to my house to talk about this.
In this situation, I must make things clear to them. I absolutely cannot drag things out and nip any illusions in the bud, otherwise it will be more troublesome later.
Actually, Yang Mengfan is quite good. She's beautiful, has good cultivation, and is in the same profession as me. If it weren't for the Eight-Tailed Fox, I might have considered her. The key is that I absolutely cannot let the Eight-Tailed Fox down. If it weren't for her, I wouldn't even be in this world.
That Yang Tianxiao is really something. I consider him a friend, and he actually wants to be my brother-in-law.
Hearing this, Yang Tianxiao was still somewhat unwilling to give up. He smiled and said, "Brother Wu, don't be so serious. Let's discuss this properly. You see, that eight-tailed fox isn't human after all, and she might not be able to leave an heir for your Wu family. In what way is my sister inferior to her? There are at least a reinforced company of men pursuing her, if not a whole regiment. The key point is that she genuinely likes you. If you don't consider it, I feel she might never get married again in her life. Please understand the difficulties I face as her older brother..."
“Brother Yang, I can help you with anything else, even if it costs me my life, but I really can’t help with this. If you still consider me your friend, then don’t bring this up again.” I said very solemnly.
Yang Tianxiao waved his hand and said again, "Alright, alright, let's not talk about it anymore. Look how serious you are. Let me tell you about business. I've come here because I've encountered a tricky situation and I'd like to ask your feng shui master's disciple for help."
"If you're talking about that, I'm not sleepy anymore. I'm actually a bit short on cash lately." I was immediately happy to see Yang Tianxiao change the subject.
“Brother Wu, here’s the thing. Not long ago, I took on a job for Mr. Li from Jinhua, Zhejiang Province. Mr. Li is over ninety years old and has four sons and seven or eight grandsons. His grandsons are all getting married and having children. Strangely, the wives of Mr. Li’s seven or eight grandsons either had difficult childbirths or died in infancy. Moreover, some family members have also shown some symptoms. Mr. Li came to me and asked me to handle this matter. When I heard the situation, I knew that someone must have tampered with the ancestral graves. However, when I went to check, I didn’t find anything seriously wrong. I think it must be because I’m not skilled enough to see anything, so I wanted you to come with me to take a look.” Yang Tianxiao looked at me.
"Oh my, your Yang family are descendants of the Yang Gong Feng Shui lineage, with a long and distinguished family tradition. You don't need my help with this matter. Why don't you just have your father step in and solve it?" I said with a smile.
“Brother Wu, my father is practically retired now. He’s handed over most of the family’s feng shui affairs to me. He basically doesn’t get involved in these kinds of things. If I can’t handle this, not only will my father scold me, but our Yang family business will also be affected. Just consider it helping me out. If things are resolved, we’ll stick to our old rules and split it 50/50. If you don’t think that’s fair, you can take the lion’s share. I don’t mind. Consider it learning a skill from you.” Yang Tianxiao was always generous and lavish, so there was no question about it.
Regardless of anything else, just considering my relationship with Yang Mengfan, I definitely have to help her out.
“Let’s stick to the old rules, half for each of us. You take me to meet that Boss Li, and then we’ll go to their ancestral graves together. I want to see what kind of tricks they have that even Young Master Yang can’t handle,” I said with a smile.
"Alright, Brother Wu, don't flatter me. No matter how great our Yang Gong Feng Shui is, it can't compare to the Feng Shui King. You are his personal disciple, so there's no Feng Shui problem you can't solve." Yang Tianxiao began to flatter me.
"Don't try to flatter me. If you can't solve this, I'll lose face. But I'm not short of money." I patted him on the shoulder.
“No problem. Even if the matter can’t be resolved, I can still afford the travel expenses.” As I spoke, I reached an agreement with Yang Tianxiao.
Yang Tianxiao told me that Boss Li offered ten million to resolve the matter, and once it was settled, we would each receive five million.
This is definitely a big business deal. A million-dollar deal is dangerous, and ten million-dollar deals are basically life-threatening. Over the years, I've developed a set of experiences.
After discussing this matter with Yang Tianxiao, we decided to set off early tomorrow morning.
When we walked out of the living room, we found Yang Mengfan playing with Huwa, while Huwa was hugging Eighth Master and plucking his fur. Eighth Master was so angry that he cursed Huwa, calling him a disobedient little bastard.
Seeing us come out, Yang Mengfan handed Huwa over to Uncle Huzi and walked towards me again, wanting to say more to me. I treated her very politely, but deliberately kept my distance.
I don't know what Yang Tianxiao said to me, and Yang Mengfan knew that he was unaware of those things. But since Yang Tianxiao brought this up, I have to deal with it head-on and not be ambiguous. As the saying goes, a swift and decisive action is needed. I don't want Yang Mengfan to hang himself on this crooked tree of mine.
Yang Mengfan originally wanted to go to Zhejiang Province with us, and Yang Tianxiao also said it was no problem.
It's clear that Yang Tianxiao probably wanted to use this incident to bring me and Yang Mengfan closer.
I understand his feelings as an older brother; naturally, he wants everything to be well for his younger sister. But he doesn't know how deep my feelings for the Eight-Tailed Fox are. This kind of mutual support and shared souls, where we are together day and night, is something that no one can replace.
Most importantly, I had a feeling that this job was not simple at all. Yang Mengfan's cultivation level was too low, and there would be great danger. I analyzed it with Yang Tianxiao, and he had no choice but to give up. However, Yang Mengfan seemed very unhappy.
The next morning, I called Xiao Pang and followed Yang Tianxiao on the high-speed train straight to Jinhua, Zhejiang Province. After getting off the train, a luxurious business car came to pick us up and took us to a large manor.
It's called a manor because Mr. Li's house is very large, with the yard alone covering several acres.
No wonder they were willing to spend ten million to handle this matter; their family must be incredibly wealthy.
Mr. Li's housekeeper led the three of us straight to the large villa in front of us.
On the way, I couldn't help but ask Yang Tianxiao in a low voice what kind of business this Mr. Li's family was in. Yang Tianxiao told me that they were in the high-end manufacturing and precision equipment business, and a large part of it was exported. I didn't really understand what they did, but it seemed to be quite profitable.
