Swear to the Heavens

Zhenxiu knew that everyone cared about her but it did not take away from the fact that she was still an outsider.

Yang Chen saw her expression and sighed. Was it a bad idea to have Zhenxiu stay in Zhonghai? Would it have been better for her to have stayed in Korea with her real family? he thought.

Everyone could tell who he meant.

Hui Lin liked Yang Chen?! This was shocking news.

After all, Yang Chen was Hui Lin’s brother-in-law and Lin Ruoxi cared a lot for her. If Hui Lin really liked Yang Chen, that wouldn’t end well.

What could be worse than your sister falling for your husband?

Hui Lin blushed and shook her head. “No! Don’t listen to him, Sister! I… I don’t! There’s no one I like! I just don’t want to accept this guy!”

Hui Lin wasn’t good at talking. She couldn’t think of a different way around it.

Lin Ruoxi looked at her with a complex gaze, slightly frightened by the thought. She turned back to look at Yang Chen who had been remaining silent.

“Alright, ignore his words, Hui Lin. Don’t take it seriously.” Yang Chen frowned. “I don’t want to shed blood here but if you’re really looking forward to visit hell, I don’t mind giving you a hand. Don’t think that I won’t do it just because Mom is here.”

“Yang Chen!” Guo Xuehua exclaimed. “How could you say that? He’s your brother!”

Yang Jieyu tried to soothe his anger. “What’s going on? Why are you talking about killing suddenly, weren’t things going well? Don’t act rashly.”

On the other hand, Li Dun looked excited as though he found something interesting to watch.

Yang Chen didn’t reply but his face was stern and cold. It was one of those rare moments where he wasn’t joking around.

Yuan Ye was getting worried. He kept pushing his father to make him stop them.

Yuan Hewei couldn’t do anything either. Who was he to butt in? Even though he was their uncle, he didn’t dare to involve himself in the fight between the two heirs to the Yang clan. The only reason the Yuan clan was the strongest in Zhonghai was because of the Yang clan.

His wife, Yang Jieyu, treated him as her equal out of respect and he didn’t dare to ruin it.

Yang Chen was obviously stronger than Yang Lie but that didn’t mean Yang Chen would become the head of the clan. It all depended upon Yang Pojun’s decision.

Yang Lie snickered and open the leather box to show the item inside.

It was a pair of rings made out of platinum!

They weren’t as valuable as diamond rings but they were still expensive nonetheless.

“Hui'er, I picked these out myself so if you aren’t willing to wear it, at least tell me why,” Yang Lie said earnestly.

Hui Lin looked down helplessly. It was too hard for her to lie because of her kind personality.

Swoosh!

Someone threw a wine glass right towards the jewelry box on Yang Lie’s hand!

Crank!

Yang Lie blocked the glass with his hands and it shattered on the ground!

Yang Chen’s eyes were filled with murderous intent. “Are you going to leave now or are you going to make me throw you out?”

The air around felt chilly. They could tell it was coming from Yang Chen!

Yang Lie was unaffected. He even smirked and said, “Don’t rush it, I can leave as you wish but I need to confirm something.”

Having said so, he bent down to face Hui Lin and asked, “Hui'er, I won't force you anymore if you swear to the heavens in front of everyone that you don’t like Yang Chen…”

Yang Lie’s voice rang clearly into everyone’s ears as they held their breath, waiting for Hui Lin’s response.
