Chapter 1617 - 1591: Surrounded

Wu Min looked at her mother, bit her lip, and nodded.

Wu Min went to Yang Xiao's room and knocked on the door,

"Knock knock!"

Yang Xiao was sitting inside the room cultivating when he heard the knock and asked:

"Who is it?"

"Young Master Yang, it's me, Wu Min."

Yang Xiao walked over, opened the door, and was stunned.

A handsome girl with an elegant posture and outstanding temperament stood at the door.

Yang Xiao didn't recognize her for a moment,

"Miss, who are you?"

Wu Min smiled charmingly,

"Young Master Yang, you sure have a lot on your mind and forgetful. Have you forgotten me so soon?"

Although her appearance changed, her voice did not.

Yang Xiao listened carefully again, laughed awkwardly, and said:

"Hey, isn't this Miss Wu Min? This is three parts looks and seven parts dress; Miss Wu Min has transformed into a great beauty with this outfit."

Wu Min smiled shyly,

"Do you mean to say I'm ugly and it's all thanks to the clothes?"

Wu Min, confident in her looks and figure, may not be stunning but is certainly one in a thousand.

Yang Xiao laughed,

"Where does that come from? If Miss Wu Min is considered ugly, wouldn't all the women in the Wuheng Clan Capital be freaks?"

Yang Xiao's playful remark made Wu Min laugh happily.

"So, Miss Wu Min, what brings you here?"

"We were just shopping and bought some snacks, and my mother asked me to bring them to you, Young Master Yang."

Yang Xiao said:

"Great, I was just feeling a bit hungry."

Wu Min saw Yang Xiao standing at the door, not intending to invite her inside, and said a bit resentfully:

"Why, won't you ask me to come in and have a seat, but let me talk at the door?"

Before Wu Min's family fell on hard times, she was a bold and straightforward person of noble character.

Yang Xiao had to laugh and say,

"You see, I was just focused on talking and forgot, please come in."

Once inside, Wu Min closed the door casually.

They sat at the table inside, and Wu Min put several local snacks on the table, then poured a cup of hot tea for Yang Xiao.

Yang Xiao wasn't shy and picked up a snack to eat,

"Hmm, this tastes good, I've never had it before."

"If you like it, eat more. This is the local Feique Tea, give it a try, it's hard to find outside."

Yang Xiao took a sip and said repeatedly,

"This tea has a very special taste, indeed a good tea."

The two chatted, and the atmosphere inside the room was relaxed.

At this moment, in the next room, Zhuo Xiaozhen and two elderly people sat at the table, feeling somewhat anxious.

For them, life had reached a dead end, and Yang Xiao was undoubtedly sent by the heavens to save them. They had nothing to offer in return, nor could they retain Yang Xiao, hoping he would accept Wu Min, which might earn them his lasting support.

To save the entire Wu Family, sacrificing a daughter was worth it,

Moreover, someone like Yang Xiao, even during the family's glory days, would have been considered a stretch.

"Xiaozhen, do you think Young Master Yang will reject Wu Min?"

"I don't know."

"Our Wu Min is considered a great beauty, with a refined temperament that typically catches any man's eye."

"I think Young Master Yang doesn't harbor ill intentions; he has a good character. If he can indeed accept Wu Min, it would be a good thing, just afraid he wouldn't."

...

Yang Xiao and Wu Min chatted for an hour; the snacks were almost gone, and the tea was finished. Wu Min sat across from Yang Xiao and showed no sign of leaving.

Yang Xiao smiled slightly and said:

"Wu Min, it's late; you should go back and rest. Thank you for the snacks and tea."

Wu Min glanced at Yang Xiao, lowered her head, remained silent, and didn't get up.

Suddenly, the atmosphere became subtle.

Yang Xiao asked softly:

"Is there something else?"

Wu Min nodded, then shook her head.

After all, Wu Min was a daughter, a young lady full of dreams and ideals for love if her father were still there.

Objectively speaking, Yang Xiao gave her a great impression, and she admired him.

However, to offer herself up actively, she really couldn't.

Wu Min stood up and said:

"Then I'm not disturbing your rest anymore."

Wu Min walked to the door, suddenly stopped.

Five years ago, her father left Dwarf Star for the distant Witch Star to fight and then vanished without a trace. According to later intel, most of those who ventured out died on Witch Star.

Since then, her father's old rival, the Black Dragon General, had found various excuses to trouble Wu Dai's family, eventually framing them for a mistake made ten years ago, causing the Wu Family to be confiscated.

The main men in the family were all imprisoned, and their assets were seized.

Since then, Wu Min's life has completely changed, with her whole family plunged into a hellish situation.

Even a scoundrel like A'ang dared to openly harass her, while she had no means to resist.

Should she continue this nightmare-like existence?

Or can she rely on Yang Xiao's help to save the entire family's fate?

This was the weighty question her mother posed before Wu Min came out just now.

Wu Min had no choice.

Wu Min stood inside the room, bit her lip, steeled herself, loosened her dress, letting it glide down, revealing a body like ice and jade.

Yang Xiao stared blankly at Wu Min's beautiful body,

"You?"
