“I don’t think there is anything that we need to talk about.” Yang Yuxi’s heart felt tight as she looked at him warily. “You kicked, bit, and threatened me. I’m not taking issue with you about all of this. However, you broke many of my antiques. We need to have a good talk on this matter,” Ye Ming said.

Upon hearing Ye Ming mention the antiques, Yang Yuxi’s heart flipped. She did not know the exact value of those antiques but they were definitely pricey. That piece of Ming Imperial white-and-blue amphora alone had a value of 8,800,000yuan, much less the rest of the antiques. The amount far exceeded what she could compensate. She could not help but feel anxious about this.

“You’re the one who wanted to do me dirty. I broke those things because of you. This is my right to self-defense,” Yang Yuxi straightened her neck and said. “Right to self-defense? Do you think other people will believe your words?” Ye Ming shook his head in disdain.

“The fact is that I am defending myself. You’re the one who is doing me dirty. That’s why I broke your antiques. I did that to prevent you from committing a crime,” Yang Yuxi said loudly. “Prevent me from committing a crime? Haha, you came to my house for no reason and smashed many of my antiques. You say that you are stopping me from committing a crime. Do you think that the policemen will believe you?” Ye Ming said.

“This… ” Yang Yuxi was dumbfounded. She also realized that something was not quite right. However, no matter what, she could not bow down at this moment. Otherwise, how could she afford to compensate those things whose value exceeded tens of millions of yuan? As such, she insisted and said, “Anyway, it is justified for me to act out of self -defense. You’re the one who wanted to do me dirty. I smashed the things in your house because of what you did.”

“Why did you go to my house then?” Ye Ming asked. “I came for a home visit?” Yang Yuxi said. “Home visit? Is your student in my house?” Ye Ming continued. “I… I lost my direction and made a mistake,” Yang Yuxi stammered. She was starting to sound incoherent. She was at a loss for words over the few questions posed by Ye Ming. Gnashing her teeth, she glared at Ye Ming and said, “What exactly do you want?”

“It’s nothing much. You broke my antiques. I’m just asking you to compensate me accordingly,” Ye Ming said nonchalantly. “You’re the one who was up to no good. It’s my right of self-defense,” Yang Yuxi repeated and was determined about this reason. “So as to speak, you’re not prepared to take responsibility?” Ye Ming shot her a look. “I… This is not my fault anyway. Why do I have to take responsibility?” Yang Yuxi argued logically.

“Okay then. Since we can’t agree on the terms, I will see you in court. We will let the law resolve this,” Ye Ming said. “See you in court then. Do you think I’m afraid of you? I believe that the law is fair,” Yang Yuxi said. Although she said this, she did not feel very assured at heart. Ye Ming was so powerful and there were many things at the scene of the event that were against her. She might lose end if they were to go to court.

“I believe that the law is fair too.” Ye Ming gestured and a woman walked over. Yang Yuxi looked over and realized that she had seen this woman before. It was the short-haired woman who guided her in from the outside of the manor. When she observed her at a close distance, Yang Yuxi then discovered that this short-haired woman was about 30 years old. She was extremely pretty and she looked very capable. At one sight, one would know that she was a strong-minded career woman.

“Young master,” the short-haired woman stepped forward to Ye Ming and bowed. “She barged into my house this afternoon. I misunderstood that she was a woman who came to me on her own accord and thought that she was role-playing with me. I didn’t expect that she would really resist. In her resistance, she smashed and broke many of my antiques. Now, I want to get her to compensate me. In your view, what are my chances of winning this case in court?” Ye Ming asked.

“100%!” The short-haired lady pondered momentarily before saying confidently.
