Super War God in the City

In the dilapidated courtyard, Xu Jingyi beside him had extinguished his cigarette butt, watching the unruly state of both parties with a bit of distaste.

"I'm saying you all should let go now, we're all relatives here, what kind of scene is this? Let go, let go!" Xu Jingyi quickly spoke out to Xu Huiran and the others.

Just then, a young man dressed in a suit walked into the courtyard, "Excuse me, is this Xu Miaotong's home?"

Upon hearing this, everyone turned to look in the direction of the voice.

When Yin Huiying saw the young man at the door, she was shocked and quickly let go of Ju Hong's arm, running over to the young man immediately.

"Young Master Jie, you're here!" Yin Huiying quickly smoothed her slightly dishevelled hair, fawning over him.

Xu Hong also scurried over eagerly; he was not very familiar with Young Master Jie but stood behind with a forced smile, like a sycophantic dog.

Xu Huiran was startled and immediately let go of Xu Miaotong's arm. Her daughter had mentioned that this Young Master Jie's status was extraordinary.

She dared not make another move, as he was here to see Xu Miaotong. What if he took a liking to her? Then wouldn't she become an outsider?

It could backfire and offend him, leaving her disrespected by both sides- a predicament indeed!

Guo Lan also let go of Ju Hong and sheepishly moved to the side; she had said earlier that she had seen Young Master Jie, but in truth, she had never met him.

Once released, Xu Miaotong hurried over to her mother, "Mom, are you okay?"

"I'm fine, how about you?" Ju Hong was a bit out of breath. She was already in poor health, and the fight had left her hands trembling.

The young man glanced at the somewhat bedraggled Yin Huiying with furrowed brows, wondering what kind of melodrama was unfolding here.

"Who did you say that is?" the young man asked indifferently.

At his words, Yin Huiying felt a jolt of panic. During the fight, she hadn't disfigured Xu Miaotong, had she? If Young Master Jie didn't find her attractive, what would they do?

She immediately pointed towards Xu Miaotong, not far off, "Young Master Jie, this is my cousin, Xu Miaotong!"

Shao Jie looked at the rundown courtyard and the chaotic crowd within, not holding any expectations, but instinctively followed the direction of Yin Huiying's pointing.

That mere glance, however, seemed to make his heart clench fiercely, almost suffocating him.

Although her hair was a little disheveled and her face bore some bruises, the innate purity and vitality in her bones could not be concealed. That kind of presence, like a lotus untouched, compelled one not to desecrate.

He fancied himself as having seen countless women in the capital, never a flower he hadn't encountered, but never had he seen such purity before.

Tired of all the gaudy artificiality, the sight of such a spiritually clean beauty almost stole his soul away, as he stared with rapt attention!

Xu Miaotong, supporting her mother, noticed the strange young man who had suddenly appeared, his gaze steadfastly fixed on her, and immediately felt repulsion.

"Is this guy that so-called Young Master Jie? With his slicked-back hair and made-up face, just looking at him is sickening!" Xu Miaotong took one glance and condemned him in her mind.

"Young... Young Master Jie, do you find... my cousin acceptable?" Yin Huiying stood to the side, nervously stammering.

Upon hearing this, Shao Jie instantly snapped back to his senses, realizing his own lapse in decorum, and gave an awkward laugh, "Haha, very good, very good, it's an honor to meet your cousin!"

Looking at Xu Miaotong's somewhat restrained expression, the young man felt an itch in his heart and silently mused: "Damn it, what a gem, this isn't just satisfactory, it's freaking fantastic!"

His attitude towards Yin Huiying immediately changed, "Haha, Xiao Ying, I heard your cousin's family is having some difficulties.

I'll give her a bank card to use for the time being, and if it's not enough, she can come to me for more. Whatever she needs help with, just let me know!"

Yin Huiying breathed a sigh of relief internally, grateful that Young Master Jie took an interest; her biggest fear was that he wouldn't. At the same time, she felt even more jealous of her cousin.

If only she could have Xu Miaotong's beautiful skin, it would be so much better for her. It looked like a phoenix was about to rise from this cesspool.

Especially after hearing how Young Master Jie addressed her, she was over the moon with joy. It seemed Young Master Jie wasn't just satisfied but quite pleased indeed. With this, there was a good chance the issue with the usurious loan could be handled as well!

Immediately, she urged Xu Miaotong, "Cousin, what are you waiting for? Hurry up and thank Young Master Jie. The money for your dad's treatment is taken care of, and not only that, but you also won't have to live in poverty anymore!"

The family of Xu Jingyi by their side was instantly filled with envy. Indeed, fortunes could change in a blink; in just a moment's turn, the sparrow had become a phoenix.

Xu Huiran also somewhat regained her sobriety at this moment and promptly said to Ju Hong, "It was all a misunderstanding just now; we're not strangers, and there's no need to hold a grudge overnight. Young Master Jie is interested in your Miaotong, and your family should be thankful to us. If it weren't for our matchmaking, would you have this opportunity? Right!"

Xu Miaotong glanced at everyone in the courtyard, her eyes cold, and snorted disdainfully, "Does that have anything to do with me? Which ear of yours heard me agree? Besides, there's no shortage of people interested in me—what's he?"

Xu Miaotong was all in today, with a 'damn it all' attitude, ready to throw all caution to the wind. After all, there was no chance she was ever going to be with this slick young man!

"Sorry, but you can go back to where you came from. They invited you here without my permission. Also, I have a boyfriend. If you have any issue with that, talk to the person who brought you here!" Xu Miaotong glanced at the young man and said.

The young man took a deep breath when he heard this, looking somewhat displeased. The girl in front of him had quite the backbone, no wonder there had been some dispute earlier.

It seemed that it was merely the wish of people like Yin Huiying, and the girl herself had never agreed. However, he couldn't simply let go of such a rare find. Regardless of whether Xu Miaotong agreed or not, he was determined not to let her slip through his fingers.

Yin Huiying and the others blanched upon hearing this, not expecting Xu Miaotong to be so stubborn and unappreciative, to dare reject Young Master Jie to his face, and so insultingly at that.

Sweating, Yin Huiying glared at Xu Miaotong and said, "Cousin, you clearly agreed earlier. Now that Young Master Jie is here, you're reneging right in front of him. Who do you think Young Master Jie is?

Do you realize who you're talking to? You can't afford to offend Young Master Jie. Being favored by him is a blessing from your ancestors, a sign that your family graves are emitting green smoke, so take back what you just said!"

When Xu Miaotong heard this, she was nearly driven mad with frustration. She had seen shameless, but this was on a whole new level of shameless, utterly ridiculous.

The young man glanced at several people and, feeling a shift within him, stepped forward and said calmly, "Miss Xu, I think we should give each other a chance, at least to get to know one another, right?

If you grant me this opportunity, I can assure you that I can solve any troubles you're facing right now, including theirs!"

As soon as the young man uttered these words, everyone in the courtyard was stunned, especially Yin Huiying and her daughter, who looked at each other in dismay.

"Dammit, what is this guy playing at? They haven't even started anything yet, and he's already siding with her, really shooting himself in the foot!" Xu Huiran looked at the young man, her eyes full of resentment, cursing in her heart.
