Chapter 1 — The Best Candidate

Donghai City, International Airport.
“Hurry up!”
“Faster!”
A few dozen men in black suits rushed out of the exits, each one with an extremely serious face, as if they were going against a formidable enemy.
All the passengers in the airport quickly made way for them, not knowing who could have caused such a commotion.
The leader of the men in suits frowned deeply, then suddenly turned and left as if he had suddenly thought of something.
Soon they reached the pavement outside the airport.
Jiang Ning was sitting on a long bench, slowly blowing cigarette smoke out from his mouth.
“Master hopes you can go back, he misses you very much,” the leader respectfully addressed Jiang Ning as he stood about five steps behind him.
In front of other people, this leader was of high standing, and nobody dared to go against him.
But in front of this young man in front of him, he felt extremely lowly!
“He misses me?”
Jiang Ning turned slightly and there was a smirk on his face. “Does his miss my influence? Or my money?”
If someone else had said something like that, this leader would have despised him. How could the rich and powerful Jiang family from the city of Jingdu ever covet anybody else’s power and money?
But the man in front of him was different.
He was the sole heir of the Jiang family!
What made this leader even more shocked was that he was known as the War God of the East, with immense capabilities and jaw dropping wealth!
“When he chased me out of the family and married that vixen fifteen years ago, Jiang Ning had died.”
Jiang Ning exhaled his last mouthful of smoke, “Jiang Ning now has nothing to do with that Jiang family back in Jingdu.”
He got up to leave.
“Don’t send people after me anymore. Otherwise I’ll kill each one you send!”
His terrifying murderous aura immediately wrapped itself round the leader.
The leader was only able to relax his clenched fists after he saw Jiang Ning disappear into the distance.
His back was already all wet with perspiration.
He was actually nervous in front of Jiang Ning.
There was a car ready at the airport carpark.
Jiang Ning hopped in and immediately made a call.
“Fei, have you arranged everything already?”
A voice came through from the other side.
“Give me the address.”
Jiang Ning immediate hung up. He held a crinkled sweet wrapper in his hand and his thoughts floated back to fifteen years ago.
He was fifteen, chased out of the Jiang house and roamed the streets.
He was cold and hungry when a simply dressed little girl gave her only sweet to Jiang Ning.
After that he was taken away by a mysterious person.
When he first appeared, the entire world trembled!
Three years later, he was given the name, War God of the East. He was only eighteen years old at that time!
Now another twelve years had passed. He had the power of a god and could shock the world, but Jiang Ning had chosen to return quietly.
He would never forget that little girl.
He couldn’t forget those pure eyes.
He couldn’t forget that kind face.
Jiang Ning kept the sweet wrapper away carefully and took a deep breath.
If someone he knew saw this, they would get a shock. The great War God could feel nervous too?
“I’m back.”
The car sped out of the carpark.
Meanwhile, at Wanshun Hotel in Donghai!
It was really lively in here.
The famous Lin family of Donghai was receiving applications from men to find the best man to marry their granddaughter, Lin Yuzhen, and this attracted a lot of attention.
Lin Yuzhen was seated in one of the function rooms, clenching her little pink fists, her eyes bloodshot and feeling utterly bullied.
Her mother, Lin Sumei, was standing on one side, her face redder from anger.
“Lin Wen, they’re obviously up to no good! If you’re still a man, go and reject your father!”
She shrieked, “You mean you’re going to watch them destroy your daughter’s happiness?”
What crap was this about finding a good husband? Bullshit!
Sumei didn’t believe they were so kind.
The Lins started as a small shop, and within fifteen years, they had expanded and became a third tier wealthy family in Donghai. The head of the Lin family, Lin Xiao, became an example of a successful entrepreneur who started from nothing.
Lin Xiao had three sons: Lin Qiang, Lin Wu and Lin Wen.
Lin Qiang had taken over most of the Lin family’s business, Lin Wu was in charge of expanding the business in a different city. But Lin Wen had lost the use of both legs in an accident, so he could only rest at home and was looked down upon.
Lin Qiang and Lin Wu had had ganged up to persuade Lin Xiao to agree to find a husband for Lin Wen’s daughter, and they even guaranteed to find an excellent man for Lin Yuzhen.
And in the end?
Never mind that all the candidates were nobodies. One of them was even older than Lin Yuzhen by ten years, and had a history of mental illness!
This wasn’t finding a good husband for Lin Yuzhen at all. This was destroying her!
Lin Wen’s face was also all red. He was as angry as his wife, but he didn’t dare to go against his father’s wishes.
He knew Lin Xiao’s temperament – he always made the final decision. There was nobody in the Lin family who could go against what he wanted to do.
“He’s Yuzhen’s grandfather, so he won’t do anything bad to her.”
After taking such a long time to think, Lin Wen embarrassedly squeezed these words out of his mouth.
Sumei was going to faint from anger soon. She pointed a finger at Lin Wen, crying as she shouted, “How did I marry a weakling like you!”
She knew that Lin Wen was a filial son and was always very obedient to Lin Xiao. After becoming handicapped, he became even weaker and dared not go against Lin Xiao at all.
But regardless of which man he chose for Lin Yuzhen as a husband to marry into the family, this matter would still ruin Lin Yuzhen!
Their family was going to become the laughingstock of Donghai!
Sumei sobbed miserably as she shouted at Lin Wen, Lin Yuzhen cried quietly, while Lin Wen could only grip his numb thigh, showing how much he blamed himself and how helpless he was in this situation.
“Mum, don’t shout at Dad anymore.”
Lin Yuzhen managed to squeeze a smile out, but there were tearstains on her beautiful face.
“Perhaps, Grandpa might find me a really nice man?”
Of course she knew this was the ploy of her two uncles.
After graduating from university, she started working for the Lin Group and had stellar results in a short span of two years, overtaking their children easily.
They were worried that she might fight for control over the business, so they instigated her grandfather to find some man willing to marry into the family for her. This way, she would lose her eligibility to take over the business.
She knew this, her parents knew this too, but none of them were able to fight back.
In the Lin family, nobody could go against what Grandpa had decided. Nobody.
The chime of the clock rang and Lin Yuzhen got up.
“Let’s go. If we keep Grandpa waiting he’s going to scold us again.”
Lin Wen felt bitterness and helpless when he saw Lin Yuzhen trembling slightly. He dared not look at his wife’s begrudging face.
He knew that it was hard on them to stay on in the family, but at least they didn’t have to worry about their living expenses. If they got chased out, what were they going to do?
In the main hall of the hotel, the place was brightly lit and all the guests had arrived.
Lin Xiao was seated right in front, dressed in an exquisitely made tangzhuang, holding onto a walking stick and his face was glowing.
“Congratulations, Mister Lin!”
“Congratulations, Mister Lin! You’ve gained an excellent grandson-in-law!”
All the guests were taking turns to congratulate Lin Xiao.
“Dad, it’s about time to make the announcement.”
Lin Qiang was standing next to him, his large and burly figure looked imposing.
He looked over at Lin Yuzhen who was not seated too far away, and announced in a loud voice, “We have the results here, and we have chosen the most promising young man among the applicants.”
The most promising young man?
Pfft, he knew in his heart that the wonderful son-in-law they had chosen was the worst among all the applicant. This one apparently had some hidden illnesses!
But as long as Lin Yuzhen married him, then she would have nothing to do with the family business.
Lin Xiao would definitely never allow anything that belonged to the Lin family to land in the hands of someone with a different surname.
“Everyone!”
Lin Xiao stood up. Everyone looked over the moment he spoke. “Today I would like to formally announce the man we have chosen for my granddaughter, Lin Yuzhen!”

Chapter 2 — Because You’re My Wife

When she heard this voice, Lin Yuzhen trembled a little.
She looked up at Lin Xiao who was standing in front. Her grandpa had never seemed concerned about her since she was born.
Lin Xiao never even looked at her when she was born, because she was a girl.
Now he was going to choose her husband and make a decision that would affect the rest of her life.
Lin Yuzhen breathed heavily. She was angry and frustrated and she opened her mouth to protest, but suddenly she saw Lin Wen seated on his wheelchair shaking his head at her, begging her with his eyes.
So she didn’t say anything.
“Ladies and gentlemen, after a selection process by our family, among the ten wonderful applicants, we have chosen the best one to be Yuzhen’s husband. I hope everyone here will bless the new couple!”
With that, everyone applauded.
To Lin Yuzhen, this applause was mocking her. Or even pitying her.
Her eyes were turning red, and she struggled to keep her tears from rolling down.
“Dad, this is the man.”
Lin Qiang took out a beautifully designed card and passed it to Lin Xiao. The name of their final choice was written on it.
They had checked carefully already. This guy had no background to speak of, an orphan, over thirty years old, poorly educated, uncultured, no skills and was homeless – you could say he could be considered a completely useless man.
And he even suffered intermittent bouts of insanity.
They heard that it was hereditary!
If so, then after this man married Lin Yuzhen, on top of cutting the family business off from Lin Yuzhen, even her children could forget about taking a single cent from the Lins!
Lin Qiang looked at Lin Yuzhen and family seated in one area, and there was a moment of glee on his face.
“Now I would like to announce our final choice!”
Lin Xiao was longsighted and couldn’t see clearly, so he narrowed his eyes and looked carefully at the card before announcing, “It’s this lucky young man, Jiang Ning!”
The moment the name was announced, everybody turned to look at the back door of the hotel.
He was marrying into the family, so of course he could only walk in from the back door.
The back door opened and a young man walked in.
Lin Wen and his wife couldn’t bear to look.
They knew that Lin Qiang would definitely choose the worst man to be Lin Yuzhen’s husband.
But Lin Yuzhen turned to look. She wanted to see who would become her husband.
Jiang Ning looked up and met her eyes, but neither said anything.
He walked right across the hall and everyone was looking at him. Strangely the expression on his face seemed mocking, as well as some schadenfreude.
“Jiang Ning, congratulations for making it as Lin Yuzhen’s husband and marrying into the Lin family.”
Lin Qiang added on, “You don’t have to thank us, we just hope that you will take good care of Yuzhen.”
To him, Jiang Ning should be eternally grateful to the Lins for giving a homeless orphan like him a home.
Lin Qiang walked over to Lin Yuzhen and gently took her hand, his face full of care and concern.
“Come along, Yuzhen.”
He took Lin Yuzhen’s hand and brought her in front of Jiang Ning, then placed her hand on Jiang Ning’s hand.
All the guests started clapping again when they saw this, as if they were attending a blissful engagement ceremony.
But Lin Wen and family knew that everyone was just laughing at them!
By tomorrow, all of Donghai would know that a man had married into the Lin family as Lin Yuzhen’s husband, and it was going to be the talk of the town.
Lin Yuzhen’s mind went blank, as if she had been completely emptied out.
She couldn’t seem to hear or see anymore, and didn’t even know what time the banquet ended.
Once the banquet ended, Sumei immediately left crying, while Lin Wen quickly rolled his wheelchair along after her.
At the hotel entrance, a cold wind blew on her face and Lin Yuzhen came to her senses.
She looked at Jiang Ning who was standing next to her. Her face was expressionless, but her voice was hoarse.
“Uncle, I don’t blame you.”
She quietly continued, “You are to be pitied too.”
Jiang Ning was ten years older than her, so it seemed appropriate to call him Uncle instead.
Jiang Ning didn’t say anything.
He hadn’t said a word all day.
The person in front of him was that little girl from fifteen years ago. She was still as kind as ever.
She tolerated this situation and suffered this sort of bullying just so that her parents could live happily.
“Oho, my dear cousin, congratulations!”
Suddenly a man walked out from the entrance and smiled with his hands clasped together as he smiled, “Congrats on getting such an outstanding husband!”
He purposely emphasized the word ‘outstanding’, and said it with great sarcasm.
Lin Yuzhen frowned and bit her lips. She looked at Lin Feng and clenched her fists.
“My dad and the family worked hard over your marriage,” Lin Feng sighed as he said. “Well now that it’s all settled and you’ve found someone, my uncle can be at peace too.”
He didn’t care about Lin Yuzhen going pale in the face and turned to throw a glance at Jiang Ning.
This useless man was found by his father, Lin Qiang. When he thought about the information they had on him, he couldn’t resist laughing.
So a man could be this useless.
“To my new cousin-in-law: now that you’ve married into the Lins, you’d better be nice to my cousin here,” Lin Feng gleefully continued. “Quickly have kids ok? It will make Grandpa happy too.”
“No matter what your kid looks like, or even if you give birth to a retarded one, the Lins can afford to raise him.”
Lin Yuzhen couldn’t stand it anymore. “Lin Feng, are you quite done!”
“Yuzhen, I’m just giving my blessings to you guys,” Lin Feng replied. “Grandpa also said that he hopes that you guys will have kids soon. I think you’ll complete this mission tonight.”
If they really had a retarded kid, that would be even funnier.
“You!”
Lin Yuzhen lifted a hand and Lin Feng’s face immediately darkened.
“What, you want to hit me?”
Lin Yuzhen bit her lips, angry and indignant.
If she dared to hit the eldest grandson of the Lins, then tomorrow her family would be chased out of the family!
To her grandfather, only grandsons were Lin family members. She…was not eligible.
Lin Feng became even more gleeful when he saw Lin Yuzhen put her hand down.
Since they were young, only he got to bully Lin Yuzhen. Lin Yuzhen could dream on about taking advantage of him.
“I’m doing this for your own good, but you don’t appreciate my good intentions,” Lin Feng purposely sighed loudly, “Your father has been paralyzed for so many years, and your family would have starved to death long ago if the Lin family didn’t support you. Now we’ve taken so much effort to find you a husband and you’re not just ungrateful but you also want to hit me. If Grandpa knows you tried to hit me, the consequences…”
Lin Yuzhen started shaking.
She looked at Lin Feng with great fury – how could a person be this shameless!
She turned to leave, but Lin Feng blocked her way again.
“Yuzhen, this is Grandpa’s decision. If you’re not happy, go tell him.”
Lin Yuzhen started crying from her indignation and her anger had been pushed to its limit.
“What do you want to do?”
Jiang Ning suddenly broke his silence.
Lin Yuzhen lifted her head and looked at Jiang Ning, and blurted out, “I want to give him a tight slap!”
PAK!
She had just finished talking and there was loud sound of a slap. Lin Feng held his face as he collapsed on the ground, and he didn’t even have time to shout.
He only managed to react when he felt a burning sensation coming from his face. He was the one who got slapped!
It was Jiang Ning who slapped him!
Lin Feng was stunned, and so was Lin Yuzhen.
Jiang Ning dared to hit Lin Feng?
He was just a man who married into the family!
“You…”
Lin Yuzhen’s face paled immediately from fright.
Lin Feng was going to kill Jiang Ning!
“Why did you listen to me?” Lin Yuzhen murmured.
“That’s because you’re my wife now,” replied Jiang Ning.

Chapter 3 — Fire Her!

Lin Yuzhen felt like her head just exploded.
She stared in shock at Jiang Ning. She never expected him to hit someone else for her.
And the person he hit was Lin Feng!
The eldest grandson of the Lins!
Just because…she was his wife now?
“You’re asking for it!”
Lin Feng got up from the ground and took a punch in Jiang Ning’s direction.
Nobody had ever dared to hit him, and worse still, this was Lin Yuzhen’s husband, a useless man who married into the family!
CRACK!
His fist had just reached in front of Jiang Ning when Jiang Ning used one hand to grab his fist. Jiang Ning suddenly exerted some strength and the next thing Lin Feng heard was a loud crack of his wrist!
“AHHHH!”
It was broken!
Lin Feng howled in pain.
“She is my wife. Nobody is to bully her from now on.”
Jiang Ning only let go of his hand after saying this, then he dragged Lin Yuzhen away while she was still completely stunned.
“I’m going to kill you! I’m going to KILL YOU!”
Lin Feng held his wrist, the pain nearly killing him.
He never expected that the piece of garbage his own family found to be a son-in-law had dared to hit him.
Lin Yuzhen was doomed!
Her whole family was doomed!
Lin Feng quickly ran back into the hotel and couldn’t be bothered to treat his injury.
Lin Qiang was still in the hall, chatting with some business partners.
“Dad! Dad!”
Lin Feng dashed over immediately, and Lin Qiang frowned as his conversation was interrupted.
“Since your son has things to discuss with you, then we’ll talk another time.”
The guests got up and left.
Lin Qiang scowled and snorted, “What a mess. What is it!”
“Dad, someone beat me!”
Lin Feng clenched his teeth, “Look at my hand, it’s broken!”
“Who did this?”
Lin Qiang immediately stood up.
Even he couldn’t bear to hit his own precious son – who dared to be so vicious?
“Jiang Ning!”
Lin Feng clenched his teeth hard, “That husband of Lin Yuzhen that married into the family!”
They had just given Jiang Ning a new lease of life. Never mind if he wasn’t grateful for this, he actually dared to hit Lin Feng.
He was just a homeless man, a useless piece of garbage, and he was rebelling!
Lin Qiang was furious. “That useless man that married into the family?”
According to the information they had, Jiang Ning was homeless and completely hopeless. He even had intermittent bouts of insanity – so perhaps it was his mental illness acting up.
“Lin Yuzhen told him to slap me, and he really did!”
“My hand was hit so hard it’s broken now!”
Lin Feng’s eyes were red from anger.
When had he ever suffered like this before?
Lin Qiang frowned, “That guy has some mental illness, and maybe it suddenly acted up.”
He immediately ordered someone to get a doctor for Lin Feng’s injury. “Don’t provoke crazy people like him. But that Lin Yuzhen actually got Jiang Ning to hit you. Humph! I won’t let her off easily!”
“Dad, chase her out of the family!”
This was a good excuse to do so.
If Lin Xiao knew about this matter, Lin Yuzhen and family would definitely have to go!
Where did they get the guts to hit the eldest grandson of the Lins?
“Lin Yuzhen is currently in charge of a project and it’s at a very important stage now, we’re going to sign the contract soon. If we chase her out now, it might affect this project.”
Lin Yuzhen was really good at her work – she had taken up several projects in the short time of two years.
But that was precisely why Lin Qiang and his son were so worried. They were afraid that Lin Yuzhen would be able to gain footing in the company and pose as a threat to them.
“Dad, since the project is almost good to go, it doesn’t matter who goes to get the contract signed. If I’m the one who manages to get these large projects signed, Grandpa would definitely think more highly of me.”
Lin Feng viciously continued, “Chase her out! This family of leeches can all go and die!”
……
Meanwhile.
Jiang Ning went home with Lin Yuzhen.
Lin Yuzhen was still stunned the whole way home. She had never thought that Jiang Ning would hit someone for her.
When she had snapped back to reality, she started to worry. Jiang Ning’s attack would probably have offended Lin Feng.
Knowing that idiot’s temper, he would definitely get back at Jiang Ning.
Ding dong!
She pressed the door bell, and after some time, Lin Wen opened the door and looked at Lin Yuzhen with eyes filled with guilt.
“Yuzhen, you’re back.”
Lin Wen looked at Jiang Ning behind her and his face fell. But he didn’t say anything and just nodded. “Come…come in.”
“DO NOT COME IN!”
Jiang Ning hadn’t set a foot in when Sumei came dashing out, her face still tearstained. “Get out! GET OUT!”
“It’s because of you, Yuzhen is going to become the laughingstock of Donghai, you’ve destroyed her!”
“Get out! NOW!”
Sumei was crying as she shouted. She was not willing at all to let Jiang Ning marry into her family.
If Jiang Ning was an outstanding man, she might be able to accept it.
But then?
Jiang Ning was older than Lin Yuzhen by ten years, no achievements whatsoever and was homeless!
This man was more disgraceful than she could handle.
Jiang Ning didn’t say anything and turned to leave, but Lin Yuzhen suddenly grabbed his hand.
“Mum, let him come in.”
If she let Jiang Ning leave now, Lin Feng would surely find someone to kill him.
He had hit someone else for her sake, so Lin Yuzhen couldn’t just leave him like that.
“Yuzhen, he…”
“He is now…my husband.”
Lin Yuzhen bit her lips. The word ‘husband’ was so strange to her, it seemed to carry needles that stabbed painfully at her heart.
Sumei’s lips trembled as she shook her head in despair, “I’m washing my hands of this!”
She ran back to her room and slammed the door shut.
“Come in,” Lin Yuzhen gently said to him.
Jiang Ning nodded and walked into this house that wasn’t considered large.
The Lins were a third tier wealthy family in Donghai, but Lin Yuzhen’s house was even smaller than the average.
“Come with me.”
Lin Yuzhen was afraid that Sumei would chase Jiang Ning away again, so she brought him into her own room.
The room wasn’t large, but it was very neat and tidy.
Lin Yuzhen took out a rug and a mat from the cupboard and placed them on the floor. Her voice was a little tired as she said, “You’d better not go out for the time being. Lin Feng won’t let you off. Stay in my house first, he wouldn’t dare to touch you here.”
Lin Yuzhen looked at Jiang Ning. It was difficult to imagine that she suddenly had a husband.
“From now on, you’ll sleep on the floor, I’ll sleep on the bed. You live your life and I’ll live mine, ok?”
Jiang Ning didn’t say anything and just nodded.
He knew that Lin Yuzhen definitely couldn’t remember him and definitely couldn’t fall in love with him. Perhaps she even hated him, because he had suddenly become her husband.
But deep inside, she was still a kind person. She was afraid that Lin Feng would hurt him, so even though it made her uncomfortable, she still wanted him to stay, to protect him.
This woman was still so kind even after she had grown up.
Jiang Ning started deliberating whether he should take out the sweet wrapper, but after thinking it through, he decided against it.
Both of them remained silent and the atmosphere became rather awkward.
Suddenly, Lin Yuzhen’s phone started ringing.
Her face turned white as a sheet.
“Lin Yuzhen, from today onwards, you don’t have to report to the Lin Group for work anymore!”
The phone call was from Lin Feng, and he arrogantly said, “Humph! My dad has fired you! Your family can slowly starve to death!”
With that, Lin Feng slammed down the phone.
Lin Yuzhen took a long time to react.
She had been fired?
Because she had asked Jiang Ning to hit Lin Feng?
Since she was young, this idiot had bullied her so badly, but he never went through any sort of punishment for it.
Lin Yuzhen felt like crying from this unfair treatment.
Jiang Ning immediately frowned when he saw this.
This Lin Feng, was he seeking death now?
