War of Resistance: Glory of the Beasts

Chapter 334 There is Fire in His Eyes
Inside the treasure house, Xu Chaoyang was wearing a military uniform and standing in front of a Buddha statue. It was hard to describe how solemn and dignified he looked, but at this moment, he really had something to say to Yuan Fuzhen...

"I have nothing left..."

As a result, Yuan Fuzhen got the upper hand.

She didn't dare to look at Xu Chaoyang, and kept her head down and fiddling with her fingers. She and Xu Chaoyang were in the same environment, but in a completely different atmosphere, each acting independently.

Xu Chaoyang closed his open mouth, which was yet to make any sound, and just listened.

"I lost my father, my home, my identity, and my expectations."

She was so lonely that she seemed like she didn't belong to this era at all, but her knowledge and understanding had already surpassed the entire era.

"Before, under my father's protection, I felt that women could live freely, choose what I wanted and love who I wanted. It's no exaggeration to say that even if I had a dream that night, as long as I told it, someone would try their best to make it come true the next day."

"But when my father left, everything changed."

"My former servant now dared to sigh at me, as if he had been enduring something and had reached the limit of his patience; the man I chose began to roar at me, saying that marrying me was a failure in his life and that he was no longer willing to put up with my temper;"

"Even the inheritance that should have belonged to me was delayed by the funeral with various reasons. In the past, at least I could comfort myself with the excuse of 'at least I still have money', but now, I really have nothing."

Yuan Fuzhen raised her head at this time: "But I am still better than others, I still have my uncle."

She didn't show any emotion, but tears kept flowing out: "But when I wanted to act like I used to, my uncle said that you were my last chance in life."

"It was only then that I realized how a divorced niece could possibly rely on others like a real daughter relies on her father..."

"He used me as a tool to win you over."

"Do you understand, Xu Chaoyang?"

Yuan Fuzhen said nothing, but she said everything.

As a princess, she swallowed all the dirty and filthy words and spoke the truth that was only on the surface.

Xu Chaoyang understood, and he saw more clearly that Yuan Fuzhen was just a flower that was about to wither...

Her past and her identity made Yuan Fuzhen accustomed to acting superior to others, but what she got was everyone's scorn and contempt for her former power.

She still wanted to take on big responsibilities and boast as before, which is why she talked about "the Yuan family" in this building on the day of the party. But what can Yuan Fuzhen do now? She can only mobilize the gentry of the Yuan family in Miyun who were not even considered scraps before!
And she wanted to support Xu Chaoyang with money, especially the previous sentence "No money?" If Xu Chaoyang answered, this former princess would be exposed immediately!
With the Yuan Clan Association in charge, what can she use to pay the money?
By selling the things in the treasure house, is it the same as secretly giving the items here to Deputy Director Li?

Fortunately, Xu Chaoyang's personality did not let this happen, which allowed the two people, each with their own shortcomings, to come together.

Yuan Fuzhen confessed all the truth today, and now only her surname is left.

call.

Xu Chaoyang seemed to understand everything. He understood why Yuan Fuzhen was targeting him, a grassroots man who had risen to prominence. This was because she knew that the surname Yuan could gild her, and her power could bring the Yuan family together again.

In other words, the situation that the Yuan family was waiting for him to face was not that they had condensed into a rope and expected Xu Chaoyang to pull it. Instead, he had to twist the hemp into a rope with his own hands, and then carry it on his shoulders and drag it on the shore like a boatman, only then would he be able to pull the big ship.

"They are all fake." Xu Chaoyang smiled.

He was laughing at Yuan Fuzhen, a woman who was not content with her female identity but also wanted to unite the left and the right. She wanted to rely on her relationship with Deputy Director Li to tie herself to this warship and restore the glory of the Yuan family with her own hands.
He was also laughing at himself for being a "fool" who hadn't figured out what was going on with the Yuan family, but was already tempted by a few words from others to covet the Yuan family inheritance!
It seems that all the scams in the world come from this. The word "greed" not only ruins men, but also makes countless women deceived by men's big cakes. I didn't expect that today, this thing would happen to me. "It's not all fake..." Yuan Fuzhen lowered her head again.

The next words had nothing to do with romance: "I need you to be real."

Instead of saying 'I like you' or 'I love you', she said 'need'.

Only then did Xu Chaoyang realize that there were not only silly girls like Er Ni'er in this world who only knew how to hurt themselves after being bullied by the Guan Di Bao; nor were there all women like the second sister who were locked up in the Huazhai and at the mercy of others.

There are also people like Yuan Fuzhen, who is also trying her best to compete with men for the control of this world. When she is powerless, she uses a woman's trump card - pitifulness.

The complexity of human nature began to become clear in Xu Chaoyang's eyes. When the so-called "emotion" was reinterpreted as "cooperative relationship", it seemed that the things between men and women were not so complicated anymore.

"I know you need talents... but as long as you become a member of the Yuan family, many talents will naturally come to you;"

"I also know that you need money... After you get the money back from the Yuan family, you can take a large part of it as military expenses. I only need to leave enough for living expenses;"

"Chaoyang, with your current status and position, it is impossible for you to make those scholars and gentry bow their heads. Without the help of these people, it is almost impossible for the people above to pay attention to you."

"If a newly emerged surname has not been ruled for decades, many people will just stand by and watch;"

"But a surname that once stood at the top can allow you to directly cross this step with its foundation."

Yuan Fuzhen walked to the dragon robe, stroked the gold thread with her scallion-white fingers, and said the most seductive words in the most ordinary voice: "You, really don't desire it at all?"

She slowly unbuttoned the dragon robe: "Use my sixth uncle to take away everything controlled by the Yuan Clan Association. After we get married in Peking, I will follow you to Dagu. Most of the Yuan family are in Tianjin, including Cao Kun... When these people raise their arms because you bear the Yuan family's surname..."

She took the dragon robe off the hanger, walked slowly to Xu Chaoyang, and was about to put it on his shoulders. At that moment, Xu Chaoyang took a step forward.

This time he was not at a loss as he was last time about what to choose, but in his heart he knew exactly what Yuan Fuzhen said.

This time, Xu Chaoyang saw clearly that this dragon robe representing power symbolized the old world, and it was tempting everyone like a devil. However, how could Xu Chaoyang, who knew how the times developed and had seen the world after the sun rose, allow himself to sink into darkness?
What's more, he had just experienced the corruption, prejudice, deception and... temptation of the entire old era.

"You, don't you want to?" Yuan Fuzhen held the dragon robe in both hands, standing there looking at Xu Chaoyang in disbelief.

And Xu Chaoyang's response was: "You, put it on."

Yuan Fuzhen asked in confusion: "Me?"

Xu Chaoyang nodded.

Yuan Fuzhen slowly put the wide dragon robe on herself with doubt, but the next second, she saw fire in the eyes of the man in front of her!
She had seen this kind of fire before. When she was young and beautiful, on the wedding night, the man's eyes were flickering with this kind of fire... After it was over, he shamelessly said: "I never thought that one day I would be able to lie in the same bed with the princess I once was." It was from that moment that Yuan Fuzhen felt that her decision this time might be wrong.

But Xu Chaoyang's beast-like breathing, angry eyes, and that extremely explosive masculine power... where did this come from?

Didn’t I just say...

"what!"

Yuan Fuzhen was knocked down, as if a ferocious tiger had grabbed her neck. However, she did not feel any sexual desire. Instead, she smelled a whiff of gunpowder, as if an army was about to overturn the whole world!
