Dragon King Palace: Urban Affluent Son-in-Law

"That's not true, there are no cracks between us!"

Upon hearing Xu Xiaohong's disrespectful words, Chu Feifei immediately explained, "There has been no change in my relationship with Uncle Zhuge. He's just been overwhelmed with grief over Brother Yi's death, hence he needs to rest for a while. Meanwhile, I can't let the corporation be leaderless, so I have to step up and continue leading everyone..."

"Is that so?" Xu Xiaohong smiled coldly, "Then please answer my second question: Was Young Master Yi's death related to you?"

Chu Feifei felt another stab of pain in her heart upon hearing this!

She had barely managed to pull herself out of endless guilt and sadness after a night of adjusting, and now Xu Xiaohong's words were like a sharp knife piercing her heart again!

"Yes, Brother Yi died because of me!"

Chu Feifei's eyes reddened uncontrollably, "He was brutally killed due to my negligence, and I cannot shirk the responsibility..."

"In that case, Miss Fei'er, you can't blame us for having our doubts about you!"

Another shareholder said coldly, "I was originally brought into the company by Vice Chairman Zhuge. He recognized my talents and has always been my benefactor. His loyalty and dedication profoundly influenced me."

"But now, after all he did, his son was killed because of you. What am I supposed to think?"

"Is there any reason for me to stay with the Chu Family, as heartless as it is?"

"Chairman Zhou, listen to my explanation..." Upon hearing this, Chu Feifei hastily tried to clarify to the other party.

"Fei'er!"

A board member who appeared to be the oldest said plainly, "Some things are as obvious as lice on a bald head. Back when your father was alive, we all served as his trusted lieutenants."

"Later, after your father passed away, Yu Hang took over everything and ensured that this super battleship did not lose its course. He worked tirelessly, leading us through countless storms and adversities."

"But now Yu Hang has also stepped aside, and you suddenly come forward to take charge. Do you think, relying solely on your status as the eldest daughter, you can win our hearts and minds?"

"We've already gotten used to you as merely a figurehead, learning and growing by Yu Hang's side, which was fine, but now you're rushing things and using disgraceful means to force Yu Hang to step down..."

"Uncle Zhu... Chairman Zhu! Why are you slandering me?"

Chu Feifei, upon hearing this, became utterly intolerant!

She looked at Chairman Zhu and said, "Explain yourself, how did I use disgraceful means? I thought it was understandable if others doubted me, but why don't you trust me either? You've watched me grow up, don't you know the kind of person I, Chu Feifei, am?"

At this moment, Chu Feifei truly felt disheartened.

This oldest board member, named Zhu Houzhao, had been a minister in Chu Renxiong's time, ranking only below Chu Renxiong himself, Zhu Ge Yuheng, and the six great leaders!

Now, among the eight, some are dead, and some have retired, leaving only him as an evergreen tree. His status is crucial, representing the gray areas of the business within the group, and his words are very influential.

Chu Feifei never imagined that even he would publicly question her!

"That's because I'm from the same generation as your father, and I have life-and-death ties with Yu Hang! Now that Yu Hang is reduced to this state, betrayed by you, it irritates me! And you're no longer the Fei'er you once were; you're bending over backward and have completely succumbed to Jiang Feng's manipulation!"

Zhu Houzhao spoke mercilessly, pointing out the crux in front of everyone!

"Uncle Zhu, what do you mean by that? Why suddenly involve Uncle?"

Initially, Chu Feifei was barely tolerating Zhu Houzhao defaming her, but upon hearing him explicitly mention Jiang Feng, her expression changed immediately!

It was one thing for her to be wronged, but she could not tolerate Jiang Feng being slandered!

"Haha, see, at the mention of him, you indeed got anxious!"

Zhu Houzhao glanced at Chu Feifei, coldly shook his head, "That's why I say, girls are outward-facing! Your relationship with that Jiang Feng is known to everyone here, so there's no need for me to elaborate. I just wanted to say, Fei'er, don't forget your roots, and don't be deceived by some people's clever tactics! This might very well be a scheme someone planned from the start!"

"Jiang Feng initially saved you, stood up for your father, all for us to see, aiming first to win over people, and then, one day, he could logically control the Chu Family!"

"Now, seeing the Chu Family united and prospering, he feels the opportunity has come to enjoy the fruits of victory. So, he colluded with you, using underhanded means to take down Yu Hang, and then had you manage in the foreground while he controls things from behind!"

"If I'm not mistaken, you are his puppet, aren't you? You, with your girlish innocence, are easily swayed by him, but we are not fooled!"

"Zhu Houzhao, shut up! I won't let you slander Uncle!!"

Chu Feifei was utterly anxious, slamming the table, angrily retorting!

"Oh, I exposed the plot, and now you're embarrassed and angry?"

Zhu Houzhao said coldly, "Fei'er, let me tell you, as long as I'm here for a day, the Chu Family will never fall into the hands of outsiders! No matter how meticulous Jiang Feng's schemes are, they can't escape my eyes! Go tell him, if he dreams of seizing the Chu Family, he's delusional!"

"Haha, so, is it because of Uncle and my relationship that you question him? Slander him?"

Chu Feifei was shaking with anger, biting her teeth while looking at Zhu Houzhao, finding it absurd!

"Zhu Houzhao, oh Zhu Houzhao, what if I told you that everything you think is completely wrong?"

"Yes! I admit I like Uncle very much; I like him from the bottom of my heart, love him to the bones, love him until I can't help it, but so what?"

"Uncle has never accepted me; until today, we're completely innocent!"

"I'd love to give myself unconditionally to Uncle, but he doesn't want me!"

"From the beginning to the end, it's all my unilateral affection, do you understand now? Do you still think Uncle would maliciously manipulate me, eyeing the Chu Family?"

These words were from Chu Feifei's heart, and she shouted them out loud!

It was shouted into everyone's ears, leaving all those present shocked and taken aback!

What Chu Feifei didn't know was that her words were also overheard by Jiang Feng, who had just reached the door.

In an instant, Jiang Feng could only pause, standing silently.

How much courage must a girl have to say such words?

To clear her own suspicion, she had abandoned all her modesty and dignity!

Feng Yueji and Mu Yanluo, who came with Jiang Feng, also stopped in their tracks.

They both looked at Jiang Feng with complex expressions, each lost in their thoughts.
