As she spoke, Zhang Ruoyu threw the marriage contract back, not bothering to look at it any further.
This act undoubtedly infuriated Ye Ming.
He questioned, "Do you think I am joking with you?"
Zhang Ruoyu replied indifferently, "Otherwise? You think by presenting an aged piece of paper, you can make me believe we have a marriage contract? Stop dreaming, I am not a three-year-old child."
Ye Ming took a deep breath and explained, "This marriage contract was left by my grandfather, and it is definitely not fake."
Zhang Ruoyu was not moved by his explanation and continued, "Do you think that argument is persuasive?"
Her haughty demeanor made Ye Ming not want to say more, and he got straight to the point, "Since this is your attitude, it means that this marriage contract can be dissolved!"
"Fine!"
Ye Ming took the contract and was not as angry as he might have been; since she saved him the trouble, he did not feel like creating more.
He then took out the acknowledgment of debt that Zhang Ruoxue had written to him.
"Miss Zhang Ruoxue, you should recognize this debt acknowledgment, right?"
Ye Ming asked seriously, "Since the marriage contract is false, this debt acknowledgment should not be fake, right? You borrowed a Vitality Foster Elixir from me for the price of one billion, you wouldn’t deny that, would you?"
"Pay now and I will leave immediately."
Zhang Ruoxue’s expression flickered uncertainly.
She indeed remembered it clearly, that incident had really happened.
But it was only after she took the Elixir from Ye Ming that she realized a problem.
Just a few baseless words from Ye Ming had cost her one billion yuan; she hadn’t thought much about it when writing the debt acknowledgment, but when she was about to feed the Herbal Pill to her grandfather, she realized the issue.
If the Herbal Pill turned out to be poison, who could she turn to?
Losing money was a minor issue, but if her grandfather was harmed, the consequences would be grave.
Therefore, Zhang Ruoxue naturally treated the matter as a scam.
After all, she had never seen any proof from Ye Ming of the Herbal Pill’s effectiveness.
Thinking this, Zhang Ruoxue’s anger grew, and she marched forward, snatched the debt acknowledgment from Ye Ming’s hand, and tore it to shreds.
"Why should I acknowledge it? I never did anything. It’s all made up, and you want me to give you one billion?"
"You can create a fake marriage contract, of course, you could forge a fake debt acknowledgment. The Zhang Family’s money doesn’t come from the wind; it’s not yours for the taking!"
Watching the pieces of the debt acknowledgment scatter in the wind, Ye Ming felt nothing inside but a continuing sneer.
His face dark with anger, he looked at the sisters before him and said, "Is this the way of the Magic Capital Zhang Family? I have truly learned something new today, I have gained some insight."
"The marriage contract, I do not actually care for. I was here to break it off anyway. Whatever your attitude, all I needed was your word!"
"But when it comes to money, that’s a different story."
"If it’s not mine, I won’t take a penny, but if it is mine, I want every cent back!"
"If you’re going to behave shamelessly, then don’t blame me for being ruthless. I will take practical actions to show you what regret means."
Seeing the two before him, Ye Ming did not feel like saying anymore, and he turned to leave.
Just then, a cry rang out, "Wait! Who said you could leave?"
All turned their heads to look, as a path was cleared through the crowd.
Zhang Lijun, the current Family Head of the Zhang Family, slowly made his way forward.
His face was grim as he looked at Ye Ming, his eyes filled with murderous intent.
Ye Ming asked coldly, "What are you implying? Do you really think you can stop me?"
Zhang Lijun spoke calmly, "Young man, you come to our Zhang Family’s birthday feast and cause a scene, and you think you can just walk away like that?"
"Otherwise?" Ye Ming’s words were filled with an air of dominance.
With his current capabilities, should he wish to leave, no one could stop him; should he choose to stay, no one could do anything to him either.
Zhang Lijun saw he had some guts and became intrigued, walked up to Ye Ming and said, "You said earlier that you had ties with both of my daughters, debts, marriage agreements—these are not things you can simply claim without proof and expect me to acknowledge."
It was clear from Zhang Lijun’s words that he wanted evidence.
Ye Ming took out the marriage contract that Zhang Ruoyu had thrown back to him, and then pointed to several scraps of paper on the ground, saying to Zhang Lijun, "The marriage contract is right here. As for the debt note, it has been torn to pieces by certain individuals."
"Both of these are real and exist indeed, not fabrications or deceit on my part."
Zhang Lijun took the marriage contract, his mind already recalling something his father once mentioned.
He was aware of it, but had never brought it up, naturally rejecting it.
It was just that he did not want to make his stance clear directly to the old master, and since the person on the other side of the marriage contract had never appeared, he had been stalling the old master with procrastination.
He didn’t expect to see the real thing today, which truly surprised him.
After a moment of silence, Zhang Lijun asked Ye Ming, "You’re Ye Ming, right? I want to ask, what is your current status?"
Ye Ming shook his head decisively and said, "I don’t have any status, just an ordinary person. My parents and grandfather all left me when I was very young."
"Now I live with my foster mother in Hai City."
A hint of scorn immediately flashed in Zhang Lijun’s eyes, "Hai City?"
"Heh, then I can prove that this marriage contract is a forgery by you."
"As for the debt note, to use my daughter’s words, the money of the Zhang Family was hard-earned, not blown in by the wind. It’s not just anyone who can come to our Zhang Family and demand repayment with a mere debt note!"
"We have money, but we’re not fools!"
Ye Ming let out a cold laugh, realizing he might have misunderstood Zhang Lijun. He had thought that Zhang Lijun was somewhat different from his daughters, but he was wrong. freёwebnovel.com
This entire family was of the sort to turn their backs and refuse recognition.
"If that’s the case, then wait. I will not let this go!" Ye Ming turned again.
But at that moment, dozens of bodyguards suddenly appeared, blocking his path.
Zhang Lijun said indifferently, "I’ll repeat what I said before, causing trouble at our Family Head’s birthday feast, I won’t let you off so easily, and on top of that, your actions earlier sullied my daughters’ reputations. On such matters, I’ve always had zero tolerance."
"Today, you’re not leaving our home without paying a price!"
At Zhang Lijun’s words, dozens of bodyguards already took up a combat stance, ready to move against Ye Ming at any moment.
With a sneer, Ye Ming asked indifferently, "So, what kind of price do you want me to pay? Let’s hear it?"
