NOVEL NEXT Chapter 59: Disdain to Quibble!
This sudden scene left everyone in the corridor stunned!
Especially the stiff expression on Nangong Jinming's face, it could practically write a novel.
Nobody could have imagined that Zhuge Yuheng would not inquire about the fight but instead apologize to Jiang Feng, offering a handshake no less. Could this be an illusion?
But what Zhuge Yi said next shattered everyone's fantasies completely!
"Brother Feng, after I left the bar, I called my dad, and he gave me a severe scolding. He felt my apology to you lacked sincerity, so he personally brought me here again. I apologize once more for my actions tonight, and I ask you and Miss Qingcheng for forgiveness!"
Having said that, Zhuge Yi bowed deeply to Jiang Feng, wishing he could bury his head to his knees.
Crazy!
This is absolutely crazy!
To the Nangong Family, Zhuge Yuheng and his son must have taken the wrong medicine — both father and son humbly apologizing to Jiang Feng?
"Ahem, Mr. Zhuge, I think you must be mistaken? It was my son-in-law and daughter who had the conflict with your son tonight. Why are you apologizing to him?" Nangong Jinming couldn't save face and awkwardly approached to ask.
Zhuge Yuheng kept his eyes straight ahead; indeed, it was as if he didn't even see Nangong Jinming. Noticing Jiang Feng's impassive expression and silence, he quickly turned to Nangong Qingcheng and said, "Miss Qingcheng, have you calmed down? My son was blinded by lust and dared to disrespect you. I will make sure he is well disciplined and doesn't make such mistakes again."
"Mr. Zhuge, you're too polite. Your son has already apologized to us. There was no need for you to make the trip." Indeed, Nangong Qingcheng was easier to talk to than Jiang Feng, she quickly responded.
"Phew!" Zhuge Yuheng let out a deep breath. "So, you're no longer upset?"
He finally could drop his hand and let his son straighten up. Even he couldn't believe that facing Jiang Feng just now, he felt an unprecedented pressure, like being crushed by Mount Tai, blocking his chest and making it hard to breathe.
He hadn't felt anything like this even around his brother, renowned in South City.
"Young Master Feng, since that hurried farewell that night, we've not had the chance to meet again. President Chu and Miss Chu have always thought of you. When will you honor us by visiting the Chu Group? President Chu will certainly treat you with courtesy." Zhuge Yuheng once again extended an olive branch, while also attempting to curry favor on behalf of his brother.
"There's no need for a visit. Go back and tell Chu Renxiong, I know exactly what he's thinking. But we are mere acquaintances, not even close friends, so there's no need for him to focus too much attention on me."
After all, with a lifetime of over six hundred years' worth of experience, how could Jiang Feng possibly be fooled by Chu Renxiong's little schemes? It's just that since the opponent had made no concrete moves against him, he was also too lazy to act.
Wow!
At that moment, Zhuge Yuheng understood. His brother guessed correctly. Jiang Feng was well aware of his schemes from the start and simply deemed it beneath him to bother with them.
At this moment, Zhuge Yuheng thought Jiang Feng was even more terrifying. He must have a profound depth and cunning to see through the seasoned Chu Renxiong, complemented by his immeasurably strong skills, making him both wise and brave.
In a word, this person is not only terrifying but also dangerous! He must return and tell his brother that unless it's absolutely necessary, he must not turn hostile with Jiang Feng, or it would certainly be the beginning of trouble.
"Young Master Feng, I understand. Thank you for your generosity. I will tell my brother, and I hope Young Master Feng, for Miss Qingcheng's sake, could forgive my brother's momentary foolishness spurred by his love for his daughter. We will certainly be more cautious in the future." Zhuge Yuheng promised.
Having said that, Zhuge Yuheng finally turned back to look at the dumbfounded Nangong Family, and then voluntarily spoke to Jiang Feng: "Young Master Feng, there are too many eyesores here. How about I personally escort you and Miss Qingcheng home?"
Even with his high intelligence, he couldn't figure out why someone as powerful as Jiang Feng would remain in the Nangong Family as a live-in son-in-law. Is there a need to play the pig to eat the tiger?
"No need." Jiang Feng calmly shook his head. He knew Zhuge Yuheng meant to ingratiate himself with him in an indirect way, but he wasn't planning to accept it.
"Alright then, we won't disturb you any longer. Goodbye." Zhuge Yuheng did not insist. He instructed his son to bow to Jiang Feng again, and then father and son left straight away.
Throughout the entire process, they never once looked at the Nangong Family as if they were nothing, especially Nangong Jinming, who thought he had survived the calamity, yet was overlooked like thin air.
"You seemed to have unfinished business just now? Continue. I'm listening." Jiang Feng calmly told Nangong Jinming.
"Continue what? What is there for me to say to you?" Nangong Jinming huffed with irritation and began smoking, filled with frustration.
What a joke, how Zhuge Yuheng treated Jiang Feng just now was seen by the whole family, and Zhuge Yuheng even revealed that Chu Renxiong's daughter and Chu Renxiong himself might have an extraordinary relationship with Jiang Feng, under such circumstances, how dare he continue to insult Jiang Feng?
"There's nothing more for you to say? Very well, then it's my turn." Jiang Feng stepped forward to the pale-faced Jin Shixiang who was sitting there and said, "Consider yourself lucky tonight. You thought Zhuge Yi was out to harm you, but actually, he was saving you. Otherwise, I assure you, your ending would be ten times more miserable than it is now!"
After those words, Jiang Feng looked at all the changing faces of the Nangong Family members and said lightly, "How you view me in the future makes no difference. I have only one thing to say: anyone who dares to have an ill word or bad intentions towards Nangong Qingcheng in this family, don't blame me for being ruthless. I'll personally teach them a lesson, and they will learn clearly."
With those words, all four couples were furious but couldn't comprehend what gave Jiang Feng the confidence to speak so, daring not to express their anger!
At this moment, Nangong Qingcheng stood beside Jiang Feng, feeling an unprecedented sense of excitement!
This feeling, something she hadn't experienced even when Zhuge Yuheng personally brought Zhuge Yi to apologize to her earlier. For the first time, she felt that Jiang Feng could also bring her glory, allowing her to hold her head high in front of her family.
Making his stance clear, Jiang Feng turned and left. Nangong Qingcheng glanced at her parents, aunts, and uncles, and then turned to follow Jiang Feng.
"That brat, isn't he just relying on someone backing him up? Look how arrogant he's become, disregarding everyone!" Nangong Jinming tossed his cigarette butt to the ground and stomped it out hard in anger.
Zhao Chunhua and Nangong Li looked at Jiang Feng's back with expressions filled with malice.
"First, we must figure out how he connected with someone like Zhuge Yuheng. It shouldn't be possible. Not to mention him, compared to Zhuge Yuheng, our entire family is like heaven and earth." Nangong Jinwei said with a frown.
"Right! We must find out. Jiang Feng has always been disrespectful to elders, not treating us kindly. Now, if he has some connections, won't he be even more insufferable, looking down on us even more?" Nangong Li said indignantly.
