The Magnificent Son-in-law

Chapter 16: Zhou Dong's Call



Knowing the situation was dire, Xiao Feng turned his head and ran out of the villa.

"Stop, or I'll..." Song Keren never expected that the person would dare to run even with a gun pointed at him, but she also didn't dare to really shoot, as trespassing isn't a crime worth killing someone over.

However, it couldn't end like this, naturally, Song Keren was not willing to let it go.

Gritting her teeth, Song Keren chased after him in her bathrobe, but when she reached the gate, the street was empty with no sign of anyone.

"Damn it!" Song Keren stomped her foot angrily, "You better not fall into my hands, or I'll beat you every time I see you!"

After speaking, she remembered that every gate in the villa area had surveillance, which reignited her determination to catch that trespassing pervert.

By this time, Xiao Feng had already twisted and turned out of Brocade Manor's gate. Seeing that Song Keren hadn't caught up, he slowed his pace and said angrily, "Old man, seems you've forgotten just who I, Xiao Feng, am."

At this moment, Xiao Feng received a text message from none other than the old man he was cursing.

"Could it be he's scared of retaliation and sent a message to apologize?" Xiao Feng opened the message with doubt but realized it wasn't what he expected at all.

Xiao Feng brother, I'll come to China to find you in a week, don't forget to pick me up at the airport!

Xiao Feng scrolled down on the screen to see the flight information and arrival time. Interestingly, the name signed off was: Mu Shihan who misses you terribly.

There was even an emoticon at the end, a very cute smiling face.

Mu Shihan, she's the old man's granddaughter.

"This troublesome little demon..." Xiao Feng's mind conjured Mu Shihan's extraordinarily pretty face.

Yet his tone sounded quite exasperated, and anyone who could make Xiao Feng feel this way was certainly not ordinary.

Xiao Feng strongly suspected that the old man couldn't handle Mu Shihan's mischievousness and wanted to pass the problem onto him.

So, is the old man scheming against me again?

Putting away his phone, Xiao Feng hailed a cab back to the bar. Upon entering the second floor, a fragrant scent greeted him, and a delicate body fell into his embrace.

"Ah Feng, why are you just getting back now? Do you know how worried I was?" Liu Qingrou beat Xiao Feng's chest with her fist, as if she wanted to vent all the anxiety she'd felt all day.

Xiao Feng gently patted Liu Qingrou's back to comfort her, softly saying, "Rest assured, I won't get into trouble."

"By the way, where did you go today?" Liu Qingrou put aside her girlish demeanor and asked seriously.

Xiao Feng held Liu Qingrou while sitting on the edge of the bed and recounted the events at the underground boxing arena, although he omitted his encounter and fight with Black Tiger, and the later attempted assassination.

Liu Qingrou naturally understood Xiao Feng was hiding many dangerous moments from her. Knowing his character, there was no point in asking about things he didn't want to disclose, she suppressed her curiosity, wiped away her tears and smiled, "Shall I go make you some noodles?"

Before she could get up, Xiao Feng pulled her back, revealing his familiar smile.

Early next morning, Xiao Feng received a phone call; the name on the caller ID made him frown: "Zhou Dong? Why is he calling?"

Despite being unsure of Zhou Dong's intentions, Xiao Feng knew for certain, his motives were far from good.

Regardless of his thoughts, he answered the call,

"Xiao Feng, father heard you're back, and specially arranged a family dinner at Zhonghao Hotel. I don't know if you'll have time to grace us with your presence."

Zhou Dong's voice came through, sounding like an invitation, but there was an awkward tone that felt off.

Xiao Feng replied, "Whether I can grace it or not depends on who's inviting me. If it's Second Uncle inviting me, even if I'm busy, I'll drop everything and come. If it's you inviting, then I'm very busy and have no time."

"You!" Zhou Dong didn't expect Xiao Feng to be so blunt, he snorted coldly, "It's father inviting you, come if you want!"

After speaking, he hung up the phone.

The man beside him expressed concern, "If you talk like that and he doesn't come, wouldn't all our efforts be in vain?"

"Don't worry, Shen Shao, that jerk grew up with me, I know him too well." Zhou Dong sneered, "If I courteously invited him, he'd definitely feel something's off, but the ruder I am, the more likely he'll show up."

"Good, good." The man addressed as Shen Shao nodded in agreement, "If this works out, you'll be friends with my Shen Group, benefits are guaranteed."

Zhou Dong was overjoyed and quickly stood up, "Rest assured Shen Shao, I'll follow you to the ends of the earth!"

Shen Shao nodded with satisfaction without saying more, and in Jiangcheng, only one person dared to make promises using Shen Group's name: Shen Tianze.

At this time, Xiao Feng was already dressed and ready to head directly to Zhonghao Hotel. He was eager to see what tricks Zhou Dong had prepared this time.

Just as he opened the door, he saw Liu Qingrou standing outside with a bowl of porridge, they almost bumped into each other.

"You're heading out again?" Liu Qingrou asked with her brows furrowed.

Knowing Liu Qingrou was worried about his safety, Xiao Feng patiently explained, "Don't worry, this time I'm just attending a family dinner, nothing will happen."

Liu Qingrou sighed in relief but said, "At least have some porridge before you go."

Not wanting to waste Liu Qingrou's thoughtful gesture, Xiao Feng took the bowl and quickly drank the porridge.

Liu Qingrou was somewhat amused, "Slow down, no one's fighting you for it."

Xiao Feng kept agreeing, but his speed did not slow down at all; his mind was already at Zhonghao Hotel...

It's been a long time since I've seen Second Uncle, and I wonder if I'll meet Zhang Wan at this gathering?

Since it's a family dinner, it's likely...
