At this point, Zhang Lijun had completely lost face, and stopped pretending altogether.
He wanted to deny everything as a way to deal with Ye Ming.
Ye Ming sneered and said, "Zhang Lijun, don't you feel ashamed when you say these things? The first time I came to your house, I didn't come to make trouble, but just to annul the engagement."
"But you looked down on me, made things difficult at every turn, and even demanded compensation for your so-called loss of reputation. Such shamelessness was indeed a rare sight!"
"Now that things have come to this point, it's all your own doing. The reason I have to deal with you this way is because you forced my hand."
"Do you really think I don't dare to kill? Even if I were to kill your entire family, within the whole Ningjiang City, would anyone dare to utter a word against me?"
Upon hearing this, the Zhang family no longer had any bluster left.
