Dragon King Palace: Urban Affluent Son-in-Law

Chapter 47: The Calm Before the Storm!



Jiang Feng spent the whole afternoon in Heizi's endless admiration and persistent urging. This guy insisted on becoming Jiang Feng's disciple, wanting Jiang Feng to teach him some secret books on picking up girls, and he wouldn't allow any knowledge to be withheld.

Everything finally calmed down when Feng Na arrived at the security office after work. Feng Na came to find Heizi, saying that she didn't get enough barbecue last night and tonight she wants to eat grilled kidneys.

Heizi was immediately scared to the point his legs went weak. Seeing Feng Na's sinister expression that looked like she'd eat him alive, he started sweating and looked to Jiang Feng for help, but Jiang Feng just had a helpless expression.

"Zhang Danian, you smell terrible, change your clothes quickly. I'll wait for you outside." Feng Na pinched her nose and said, swaying her flirtatious little hips as she walked out.

"The winds are bleak and the waters cold, tonight, Zhang Danian will suffer again!" Heizi took off his sweat-smelling clothes and said righteously to Jiang Feng, "Brother, I'm off first!"

"Go ahead!" Jiang Feng nodded with a smile. This guy always brags about how awesome he is, but just one Feng Na is almost draining him dry, and he still wants to daydream.

After leaving the security office, Jiang Feng saw that Bai Zhiqing had already driven off in an Audi by herself. As she passed by Jiang Feng, she didn't even glance at him.

Jiang Feng was completely speechless. Last night she was so enthusiastic, but today she's acting like a stranger. Women's hearts are like needles in the sea, impossible to guess.

Nangong Qingcheng soon came downstairs as well. She had changed into a sleeveless white dress, exposing her white jade-like arms, and her legs beneath the white dress were smooth and slender, as pure as snow, seeming almost ethereal. Her skin looked fine and smooth, her dainty feet clad in simple sandals, and her complexion looked delicate and glossy.

Her stunning face had no makeup, yet her features were extraordinarily delicate, with a fresh and dewy hue. The most captivating were her eyes, which were like black gemstones, filled with allure and grace.

"What's wrong?" Nangong Qingcheng saw Jiang Feng staring at her and couldn't help being surprised. She looked down at herself but found nothing unusual, so she asked in confusion.

"Nothing." Jiang Feng shook his head. Seeing his wife, even with a bare face, she looked so stunning. If she really put on some slight makeup, it would definitely be an existence that brings calamity to a country and its people.

"You drive." Nangong Qingcheng took out the car keys from her small bag and handed them to Jiang Feng.

"Me?" Jiang Feng frowned.

"What, you can drive for Sister Zhiqing but not for me?" Nangong Qingcheng was a bit unhappy. She spontaneously wanted Jiang Feng to drive, but Jiang Feng's attitude made her somewhat dissatisfied. What he could do for outsiders, he refused to do for her?

"Ha, I'll drive then." Jiang Feng had no idea about Nangong Qingcheng's little thoughts, he was just surprised, so he took the keys and walked out.

"Hmph, that's more like it!" Nangong Qingcheng felt better and followed him outside.

...

It only took forty minutes for the two to get from Fengming Trading to Nangong Mansion, just as Nangong Honghu had said on the phone. Nangong Qingcheng would start school in three days and would have a fifteen-day military training, with a busy course schedule. It would be a long time before the family could gather again.

Moreover, since Jiang Feng returned, the family hadn't had a proper meal together, so they took this opportunity to do so.

After parking the car and walking into the mansion, they saw Nangong Jinrong and his wife, Nangong Jinming and his wife, Nangong Jinwei and his wife, and Nangong Li and her husband had already arrived early, sitting around a large circular dining table. Old Sir Nangong was in the inner room on the phone with a private restaurant, asking them to deliver the ordered dishes.

The four couples saw Jiang Feng enter the courtyard and were immediately filled with anger.

"This guy is never active in anything else, but he's the most active when it comes to eating. He always arrives first," Nangong Jinwei sneered in front of Nangong Jinrong and his wife. He didn't call Jiang Feng "waste" but referred to him as "this guy," which was already giving Nangong Jinrong and his wife some face.

"Yeah, and he still has the nerve to come home for dinner. If it weren't for good luck this time, our whole family would be in trouble with him!" Nangong Li also looked displeased.

Today Jian Hongsheng was arrested, the Jian Group collapsed, and the Jian Family scattered. They had all heard about it. In their view, this was heaven protecting the Nangong Family. Otherwise, with what Jiang Feng had done at Old Man's birthday banquet a few days ago, the Nangong Family would be headed for disaster.

"Dad, Mom, Second Uncle, Second Aunt, Third Uncle, Third Aunt, Aunt, Uncle, sorry we're late." Nangong Qingcheng greeted as she entered the room and saw the whole family sitting around the large round table.

"You're not late, your cousin and the others haven't arrived yet, come sit down first." Nangong Jinming pointed to some empty chairs.

Nangong Qingcheng walked over with Jiang Feng, sitting beside her mother Wu Peixia. But when Jiang Feng was about to sit down next to her, Nangong Jinming's wife Zhao Chunhua suddenly spoke up and stopped him: "What are you doing?"

Jiang Feng frowned and looked at Zhao Chunhua.

"That chair isn't for you. Xiao Yan will be bringing her boyfriend later, that's reserved for him." Zhao Chunhua said unkindly.

Nangong Yan was the daughter of Nangong Jinming and Zhang Chunhua, the eldest among the third generation of the Nangong Family.

Although she was the oldest, she didn't appeal to Old Sir Nangong because she wasn't very successful. She hadn't even finished high school and dropped out. It was through Nangong Jinming's connections that she got a job at a private bank, in stark contrast to the academically outstanding Nangong Qingcheng.

Despite that, the whole family, except Old Sir Nangong, thought highly of Nangong Yan, and she herself was even more pretentious, acting more snobbish than her parents and not getting along with Nangong Qingcheng.

Seizing the opportunity of this dinner, Nangong Jinming and Zhao Chunhua wanted their daughter to bring her new boyfriend home to meet the family formally.

"Xiao Yan is a good kid, she's always been hardworking. If you, Second Brother and Sister-in-law, had paid more attention during her high school years, she wouldn't have dropped out, and she might be doing even better now," Nangong Jinrong said.

Although he was the eldest among his siblings, he married Wu Peixia late, unlike Second Brother Nangong Jinming and his wife, who had children earlier. He had seen Nangong Yan grow up.

"Of course, our Xiao Yan has always been smart. If it weren't for Jinrong and me being busy with work, her academic performance wouldn't have slipped, and she wouldn't have grown to dislike studying. She could have been admitted to a top national university, far better than Binhai University," Zhao Chunhua said, filled with regret, but not for her daughter's lack of ambition, but for failing their daughter.

Nangong Qingcheng frowned slightly. However good-natured she was, she couldn't help but take offense at Second Aunt's remarks looking down on Binhai University. Wasn't it clearly targeting her? She was about to enroll in Binhai University, and Second Aunt had been competing with her for her daughter since they were young. Bringing such talk to the dinner table was too much, wasn't it?
