Daily Life in the Countryside After Being Reborn

Chapter 763: Chapter 98: Forbidden Love (Part 2)

"I’ve said it before, don’t negotiate terms with me," Wang Shuai revealed a hint of impatience.

"Don’t want to talk? Then roll out of here. You’re not welcome," said Zhang Yiyi, who had returned from upstairs, giving Wang Shuai a cold look. "Hmph, I misjudged you, Wang Shuai. Actually, you and Xu Lan Ya are a natural match, both despicable, shameless."

"Zhang Yiyi, this matter doesn’t concern you. It’s an agreement between me and Zhu Xiaoxian. Since we’ve signed a contract, you must fulfill it, or don’t blame me for being rude. You know the Wang Family’s influence in Beijing. If I wish so, there’s no way your family can stand firm in Beijing," Wang Shuai showed his sharp edge. After all, as the heir to the Wang Family in this area, he changed from his polite tone, using both soft and hard tactics.

"Of course, I will fulfill the agreement. I’ll provide the wrist guards according to your demands, meeting the military standards to a tee—no more, no less. As for any other equipment I develop in the future, I can sell or give them to whoever I want, and your Wang Family will have no right to meddle," Xiao Xian said with a sly smile, as Yiyi, standing beside her, stayed silent.

About the agreement between Xiao Xian and the Wang Family, after Xiao Xian returned, she reported it to Xuerou. After giving it some thought, Xuerou pointed out a variety of loopholes in the contract. The protection of intellectual property in China is indeed very much lacking.

"You!" Wang Shuai did not expect Xiao Xian to suddenly change her stance. Indeed, when he signed the agreement, he had not thought about product upgrades or demanded that Xiao Xian only develop such products for the Wang Family.

"Another thing, Senior Wang owes my grandfather a huge favor. He once promised ’in my lifetime, to ensure my lifelong safety.’ If you don’t believe it, you can ask Senior Wang Fenglei. A favor owed by an elder is a debt of the Wang Family. The debt you owe me, Senior Brother Wang, you wouldn’t think of going back on your word, would you?" Xiao Xian seized the moment when Wang Shuai was lost for words, pressing the issue relentlessly.

Wang Shuai did not expect that his grandfather had such a connection with Zhu Xiaoxian’s elder and was unsure how to respond for the moment.

"What exactly do you want to give up the developed wrist guards?" Wang Shuai hesitated for a moment but finally couldn’t help but ask.

Indeed, he took the bait. Xiao Xian paused, "Actually, my conditions are very simple, just two issues. One is, why do you show interest in Yiyi while keeping her at arm’s length?" Xiao Xian did not know Wang Shuai deeply, but from their few interactions, she could tell that he was a very cautious and measured person.

There must be a reason for his abnormal behavior, both caring and distant, and it definitely wasn’t because of that disgusting Xu Lan Ya.

Wang Shuai didn’t expect that Xiao Xian’s condition would involve Yiyi. Yiyi was also surprised that Xiao Xian suddenly turned the conversation toward her.

"Even a blind person can see that Yiyi is more outstanding than Xu Lan Ya. Okay, setting aside family backgrounds and even body figures," Xiao Xian’s words elicited a grumble from Yiyi: "I’m only fifteen years old, in a few years I might not be worse than her."

Wang Shuai coughed a few times, to cover his embarrassment, he pretended to drink a few sips of cherry juice. Unfortunately, the small bottle of Cherry Juice was clearly not able to withstand his "voracious drinking," and was nearly empty.

"You have no reason to choose her over Yiyi. Let me tell you privately, the last time in Changbai Mountain, Xu Lan Ya did not go there alone. Choosing a woman who changes men faster than her clothes, you and the Wang Family will make the most correct decision." For the happiness of Yiyi, Xiao Xian did not mind playing the villain once.

"The Wang Family looks beyond just family background. My mother is also just an ordinary performer in the military district. The responsibility lies with me for this matter. My father didn’t explicitly express opposition, it’s just that he has some doubts about Yiyi’s Beastman heritage," Beastman bloodlines hold significant value for the Huake Continuation Institute’s research center, or even for the nation, something Wang Shuai also understood.

The matter about Zhang Yiyi was information that Wang Zhonghe obtained from Xu Lan Ya.

Xu Lan Ya is smart too; she mentioned nothing else, just that Yiyi is a Beastman.

"Beastman?" Xiao Xian didn’t expect the famous Wang Family of the cultivation world to care about such things. This sounded too unreasonable. The very existence of Cultivators and Superpower Users was illogical.

"About Beastmen, this isn’t a topic that just appeared. Internationally, all major research institutions, including the Mengshan Laboratory and the Royal Research Institute of Europe, are researching Beastmen. Some researchers in these institutions are even Beastmen themselves. This race has a very special characteristic; their physiological makeup is different from humans. It may eventually lead to..." Wang Shuai did not continue.

"Lead to what?" Xiao Xian pressed the question. Although Zhang Yiyi did not ask, her eyes showed astonishment.

"Beastmen are unable to breed normally with humans," Wang Shuai turned his head away, unable to look directly at Zhang Yiyi, his heart aching faintly.

If he weren’t the eldest son of the Wang Family, or if he weren’t a Cultivator, he might be with Yiyi. But he is Wang Shuai, destined to reach the apex of the Chinese cultivation world.

His sense of duty and the burden he carries force him to restrain his feelings.

Behind him, silence lasted for a long while.

"Senior Brother, please go back first. The other issue, I’ll discuss it with you later," Xiao Xian asked Wang Shuai to leave. She too had not expected that the answer to the question she and Yiyi wanted to know would ultimately be so.

Being unable to breed normally is a fatal blow to any woman.

Wang Shuai walked out silently, and at the moment he closed the door, his eyes grew hot, tears threatening to fall. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to Qidian () to cast your recommendation ticket, monthly ticket. Your support is my greatest motivation.)
