Dragon King Palace: Urban Affluent Son-in-Law

"It's not like that!"

Upon hearing Feng Yueji's words, Mu Yanluo immediately clarified to Jiang Feng: "Although I am indeed Mu Jinbiao's younger sister, I didn't intentionally get close to you, nor did I plan to harm you! All our encounters were just coincidences!"

"Nonsense, how can there be so many coincidences in the world!" Feng Yueji said coldly.

"I..." Mu Yanluo was at a loss for words.

Indeed, if she claimed that every time she was in trouble, she coincidentally met Jiang Feng, and he helped her out, it would sound rather far-fetched.

But it really was the truth, sometimes fate is just that mysterious and inexplicable.

For a moment, Mu Yanluo tasted the bitterness of being unable to explain herself, feeling very anxious.

"You just said, 'again'?" Jiang Feng caught the key point in Mu Yanluo's words and frowned, asking.

Mu Yanluo realized there was no point in hiding any longer, so she decided to fully come clean: "Yes! Initially, when my brother died at your hands, I did think about avenging him! I sought out Shi Guanlin in the North City, but he, being disrespectful due to his old age, actually had designs on me. I'd rather cut ties with him than let him have his way."

"Then, I tried to contact the Demon Moon Alliance in the South, hoping to hire an assassin to kill you."

"But unexpectedly, just after I withdrew the money, I was robbed by Chu Yan, who had escaped from prison. You know the rest; you saved me twice from Chu Yan..."

"From then on, although I still harbored hatred towards you, I canceled the hire because I couldn't attack someone who saved my life."

"Even though you are still the enemy who killed my brother, my heart is filled with contradiction..."

"Since then, I started to observe you slowly, and I increasingly found that you are indeed someone who acts with principles and values loyalty and righteousness. My brother shouldn't have provoked you in the slightest; from that perspective, he deserved what he got..."

"And then, you saved me again in a bar..."

"You know what happened afterward, you took me away and sent me to a safe place..."

Mu Yanluo spoke rapidly, finally releasing the complex emotions that had been stifled in her heart, and as she confessed everything, she felt a great relief,

But she was also very anxious, afraid that Jiang Feng wouldn't believe her, and her eyes involuntarily reddened: "Jiang Feng, to this day, you should sense that I harbor no ill will towards you anymore, otherwise I... I wouldn't trust you so much! I've long wanted to confess to you, but I never found the right opportunity, just now..."

"Ha! Mu Yanluo, enough!"

Feng Yueji didn't wait for Mu Yanluo to finish and coldly interrupted, then spoke to Jiang Feng: "Master, do you believe her words? Did she really say that she can put aside such a deep hatred as the murder of her brother?! I've heard that she and Mr. Scar have depended on each other since childhood, and their sibling bond was very strong!"

"I did depend on my brother!"

Thinking of her brother, Mu Yanluo couldn't help but burst into tears again: "My brother and I fled here from the Northeast when we were young; he's been taking care of me, growing up with me, he was my only family!"

"But, from the moment he embarked on the road of no return, I knew he would have such a day sooner or later."

"I haven't become so muddled because of familial ties that I can't see right from wrong! My brother has changed in his ambition to make a name for himself, and the only thing he insisted on was for me to stay clean and not join him in his wrongdoing!"

"He had no choice, having suffered too much in the Northeast, longing for the day he could strike back and make those who bullied us then pay the price..."

"Enough! Mu Yanluo, stop making things up! Do you think anyone would believe such lies? Mu Jinbiao was hated by the whole North City, and his death was a great relief, you don't need to whitewash him!" Feng Yueji said coldly.

"I'm not whitewashing him, I just know him better than you do; there's always a pitiful side to someone so hateful..."

Saying this, Mu Yanluo finally looked deeply at Jiang Feng: "Jiang Feng, I've told you everything, do you believe me?"

To Mu Yanluo, it didn't matter whether Feng Yueji believed her or not, even if she questioned her or mocked her, it didn't matter, but she truly wanted to know Jiang Feng's attitude!

If Jiang Feng also gave her the cold shoulder from then on, she would be truly disappointed.

It might even be a kind of suffocating despair!

Jiang Feng's face was calm as water, he stared at Mu Yanluo for a while before slowly averting his gaze: "I'll say the same thing, if you're suspicious of someone, don't use them, if you use them, don't be suspicious. Get back in the car and come with me."

On hearing this, Mu Yanluo's tears instantly spilled over!

And Feng Yueji looked incredulous at Jiang Feng: "Master?"

"Given your current situation, it seems you don't have much ability to take revenge on me. If, one day in the future, you regain that ability, I have only one request," Jiang Feng said calmly to Mu Yanluo: "Come after me, don't harm the people around me."

With that, Jiang Feng got into Feng Yueji's Lamborghini.

Leaving Mu Yanluo standing there, her shoulders trembling, tears streaming down like rain.

Seeing this, Feng Yueji sighed deeply: "Mu Yanluo, I really don't know where you got such good fortune; my Master is willing to let bygones be bygones and repay enmity with virtue! But I warn you, don't attempt to harbor any sinister intentions towards my Master, or I won't let you off!"

"I don't hold malicious thoughts against him, not because of you!"

Mu Yanluo raised her head, met Feng Yueji's gaze head-on, the first confrontation between these two women, both hailed as the number one beauties of the West City and North City!

"My principles don't need your reminders, nor does my conscience need your testing!"

"Fine, I hope you remember today's words forever!" Feng Yueji said lightly, then spoke no more, turning to get back into the Lamborghini.

Mu Yanluo returned to her Volvo S40 alone, suddenly laying her head on the steering wheel, crying bitterly.

After a while, she wiped away her tears, gathered herself, started the car, and followed Feng Yueji's Lamborghini.

...

As Mu Yanluo anticipated, Jiang Feng brought her to the Chu Group in South City!

Seeing the towering over thirty stories skyscraper, Mu Yanluo felt a myriad of emotions.

Once, it had been her brother's archenemy's stronghold.

Yet now, she was actually about to come here for employment!

Fate is cruel!

"Let's go!"

After getting out of the car, Jiang Feng stood in front, glanced at her, and said.

Mu Yanluo took a deep breath, nodded, and followed.

Jiang Feng led the two exceptional beauties, Feng Yueji and Mu Yanluo, into the group building.

The security at the door recognized him, not daring to stop him, but instead greeted him with a smile, escorting him respectfully inside.

However, just as the three were about to reach the elevator, a sudden piercing noise came over, causing Jiang Feng to suddenly halt, frowning.
