Urban Invincible Overlord

Yang Hao didn't have the speakerphone on, but the voice from the phone was still heard by Yang Fei and Qin Yanyang.

Qin Yanyang's lips curled upward, finding the girl interesting, and he was even more eager to meet her.

Seeing that Yang Hao was on the phone with his sister, Huang Dayong appeared a bit nervous. He opened his mouth to speak but, fearing that his sister would hear his voice and be frightened away, he restrained himself.

Listening to Huang Qiaoqiao's voice, and thinking about how she was fighting so hard for him, Yang Hao's eyes became moist with emotion, as he turned to look at Yang Fei and Qin Yanyang.

Their family really had no way to solve this matter; now they could only hope that his elder brother and sister-in-law would help.

"Let her come over; don't worry, I'm here, nothing will happen," Yang Fei said, seeing that Yang Hao was still worried.

Thinking of what Qin Yanyang had said earlier, Yang Hao felt that running away was indeed unfair to his parents and it wasn't a long-term solution, so he spoke into the phone, "Qiaoqiao, you... come to my house. My brother and sister-in-law are back, and they said they can help us solve this."

"Impossible. My brother has already convinced my parents. They are dead set on marrying me off to that cripple from the Gong Family, who have money and power. Your brother and sister-in-law can't solve our problem. Let me tell you, Yang Hao, eloping is the only solution," Huang Qiaoqiao said on the phone.

After managing to escape from home, she only thought about running away with her lover to live freely, planning to return after a few years when their children could even be soy sauce fetching age, when her parents' objections and the Gong Family's concerns would no longer matter.

Yang Hao was somewhat persuaded by her words.

Qin Yanyang smiled and said to him, "Give me the phone."

Yang Hao hesitated for a moment, but eventually handed the phone to Qin Yanyang.

Qin Yanyang spoke into the phone, "Is this Qiaoqiao? I'm Qin Yanyang, Yang Hao's sister-in-law. Right now, your brother has brought a bunch of people and has Yang Hao trapped in a room. He even said he's going to break his legs. You should come over quickly."

"Ah? How can my brother be like that? Tell him not to hurt Yang Hao, or I will hate him for the rest of my life. I... I'm coming over now..."

An anxious and worried voice came from the other end of the phone.

"Yeah, come over quickly," Qin Yanyang responded, and then handed the phone back to Yang Hao, "She still cares a lot about you."

Yang Hao was originally afraid that Qin Yanyang's words would worry Huang Qiaoqiao and wanted to explain, but he realized the call had already been hung up.

Across from him, Huang Dayong's admiration for the stunningly beautiful woman in front of him grew.

He knew his sister's temper well—she was clever and not so easily summoned, yet she had been convinced with just a sentence.

Thinking about how worried his sister was for Yang Hao made Huang Dayong feel noncompliant and he glared fiercely at Yang Hao.

Soon, a crisp female voice came from outside the door, "Yang Hao, Yang Hao, are you alright?"

Quickly, the people in the hall moved aside, allowing a graceful figure to rush in from outside.

She was a girl of about eighteen or nineteen, dressed in a plain white T-shirt and jeans, which were simple yet emanated a youthful vibe.

She had a sweet face and an excellent figure, but her face was now marked with deep worry.

After her gaze fell on Yang Hao, she breathed a sigh of relief, then glared at Huang Dayong, "Brother, how could you do this? What right do you have to barge into someone's home like this?"

Seeing his sister, Huang Dayong let out a sigh of relief, "Qiaoqiao, it's good you're back. Now, there's nothing to worry about as long as you come back with me. I won't bother the Yang Family again."

Huang Qiaoqiao felt a rush of despair, suddenly stepping around Huang Dayong, she dashed to Yang Hao's side, hiding behind him and peeking out to say to her brother, "Brother, I won't go back with you. I won't marry that cripple; I love Yang Hao, I... I'm even carrying Yang Hao's child."

"What?"

Yang Changjin and Li Guiju's expressions changed abruptly, a mix of surprise and tension, as they excitedly looked towards Huang Qiaoqiao's belly.

Huang Qiaoqiao blushed.

Yang Hao was also terribly embarrassed.

The others in the room immediately started whispering among themselves.

In today's society, living together before marriage is quite normal, but in rural areas, pregnancy out of wedlock can indeed affect one's reputation.

Huang Dayong suddenly became furious and yelled, "Shut your mouth! Don't spread rumors when there's nothing, don't you care about your reputation?"

With her face still red, Huang Qiaoqiao said, "I'm going to say it anyway. I only want to marry Yang Hao. Everyone within miles knows we're already engaged. It's you who are reneging on your word and trying to tear us apart." Content sourced from MV4LEMPYR – My Virtual Library Empire.

After she spoke, the voices of those whispering quieted down a bit, feeling somewhat sorry for the young couple.

Truly in love and already engaged, only to be forcefully separated at the last moment.

Huang Dayong didn't care about any of that and angrily said, "Stop talking nonsense here, you're embarrassing us, come back home with me now."

Huang Qiaoqiao hid behind Yang Hao and loudly said, "I am already the daughter-in-law of the Yang Family; this is my home."

Huang Dayong, nearly fainting with anger, waved his hand, "Drag her back, tie her up if you have to."

The people of Huang Village immediately rushed forward to follow his command.

Yang Fei coughed, stepped in front of Yang Hao and Huang Qiaoqiao to protect them, and casually kicked a couple of broken shovel handles on the ground.

Seeing him stand in their way, and noticing the broken shovel handles on the ground, the villagers looked scared and dared not advance any further.

Qin Yanyang cleared her throat and said to Huang Dayong, "So, do you want to talk this out with me, or should my husband talk to you?"

Huang Dayong, having known Yang Fei's toughness, was slightly intimidated and responded, "Fine, I'll talk with you. I've told you the conditions the Gong Family offered before, now you tell me, what can the Yang Family offer?"

After hearing this, Huang Qiaoqiao became anxious, "Brother, are you selling me out?"

Face reddening from her accusation, Huang Dayong argued, "You're too young to understand, I'm doing this for your own good."

Huang Qiaoqiao wanted to argue further, but Qin Yanyang, smiling, said, "Qiaoqiao, don't worry. Let me help you, okay?"

It was then that Huang Qiaoqiao really took a good look at Qin Yanyang. Seeing her beauty and elegance sitting there so imposingly, even her own brother seemed overwhelmed, she couldn't help but feel admiration.

Yang Wen whispered in Huang Qiaoqiao's ear, "This is my sister-in-law. She's a teacher at Binhai University, very wealthy, and my elder brother is also very impressive. With them here, your relationship with my second brother is secure."

Seeing Yang Wen so confident, and because she and Yang Hao had no better solution, Huang Qiaoqiao nodded her head and chose to trust Qin Yanyang.

Convinced that the Yang Family wouldn't be able to offer anything better, Huang Dayong scoffed, "What's the matter? Can't afford a larger dowry or money to buy a house and a car in the city, right? I'm not even talking about whether you can support my family, just these basic things. Since you can't provide them, what right do you have to marry my sister?"

Qin Yanyang smiled slightly and asked, "So, it's just about money, right?"

Being blunt, Huang Dayong nodded, "Yes, it's about the money. Without enough money, the Yang Family can forget about marrying my sister."
