The Magnificent Son-in-law

Chapter 17: Framing



Zhonghao Hotel, Xiao Feng stepped into the hotel, and as soon as he entered the lobby on the first floor, he clearly sensed several gazes locked onto him.

"Zhou Dong, I still hope to meet Second Uncle here!" Xiao Feng withdrew the edge in his eyes and headed for the elevator.

Once Xiao Feng entered the elevator, a person sitting at a table drinking tea immediately sent a voice message on their phone: "He has entered the elevator, estimated to arrive in two minutes."

Xiao Feng exited the elevator when it reached the fifth floor and, following the room number Zhou Dong gave him, quickly arrived outside room 503.

He stood outside the door for a moment, but heard no sound from inside. This was obviously unusual.

Since it's a family gathering, could everyone really be silent?

"Zhou Dong, you really never cease to disappoint me!"

Xiao Feng knew it was a trap, but still pushed open the door with a smile.

Inside the spacious private room, there was only one woman, and she was stark naked, tears falling like a string of broken pearls, with several scratch marks on her fair thighs, giving her a somewhat wild beauty.

The woman saw Xiao Feng enter and immediately tried to call out.

But before she could make a sound, Xiao Feng chuckled and said, "You cry out as soon as I come in, and I haven't even taken off my pants yet. Do you think even if someone comes, they will believe I did something to you?"

This woman was arranged by Zhou Dong and was named Chu Mengting. Although not stunning, she was certainly pleasant to look at.

Upon hearing Xiao Feng's words, Chu Mengting was stunned, never expecting that within less than half a minute, this man had seen through her intentions. Knowing she was in danger, yet remaining calm.

Chu Mengting nervously avoided Xiao Feng's eyes, as just one glance from him made her feel as though a Demon had gripped her throat, finally stammering, "Then what do you suggest we do?"

Xiao Feng couldn't help but laugh, pulled a chair over and sat down: "Well, based on my capability, at least not until half an hour later."

After speaking, he poured a glass of red wine, drinking alone, his eyes appreciating Chu Mengting's body like a work of art.

Chu Mengting's face flushed instantly, embarrassed beyond belief, hurriedly putting on the clothes thrown on the floor.

But at that moment, Xiao Feng put down his wine glass and spoke again: "No need to trouble yourself; soon you'll have to take them off again. Just cover the sensitive parts casually."

Chu Mengting was again stunned, but placed her coat in front of her, curling up in the corner, her heart uneasy, worrying that Xiao Feng might actually harm her.

However, what Chu Mengting did not expect was that Xiao Feng merely sat drinking on the chair, finishing a bottle of wine in over ten minutes, yet showing no signs of drunkenness, remaining silent throughout.

After a while, Xiao Feng heard a sobbing sound. Turning to look, he saw Chu Mengting curled up in the corner, her head buried in her arms, her delicate body trembling, clearly crying.

Xiao Feng put down his wine glass and walked over: "Lift your head."

Hearing the command-like tone, Chu Mengting slowly lifted her head, her tear-stained face and red-rimmed eyes clearly visible to Xiao Feng.

"You meant to harm me, so why are you the one crying?" Xiao Feng asked, somewhat amused.

"I-I'm sorry!" Chu Mengting sobbed, "I really didn't mean to harm you."

Xiao Feng nodded, "We are strangers meeting by chance, with no old grudges or recent enemies, truly no reason for you to intentionally harm me. It was Zhou Dong who asked you to do this, right?"

Chu Mengting nodded, tears flowing freely: "I'm a student at Jiangcheng University. My father was in a car accident a month ago, and urgently needs a large sum for medical expenses. I really had no choice but to agree to Zhou Dong's request."

Xiao Feng hadn't expected Chu Mengting to have such a plight and, after a moment's pause, asked: "How much do you need?"

"O-One million." Chu Mengting sobbed.

Xiao Feng thought for a moment, then pulled out the one-million check Du Qingyue gave him from his pocket: "Here's a million, use it to pay the medical bills."

Chu Mengting felt a shock like a thunderbolt. At this moment, she couldn't help but feel it was unreal, but the check lay before her, the amount clearly written as one million, undeniably real.

At least if roles were reversed, Chu Mengting felt she wouldn't help someone trying to harm her, regardless of whether it was intentional or due to other factors.

In the next moment, Chu Mengting threw herself into Xiao Feng's arms without hesitation, crying like a child. The memories of her struggles to raise funds flooded her mind, overwhelming her emotions.

For a college student without much financial capacity or relationships, one million is a huge amount, unbearable for the vast majority of people.

After a long while, once Chu Mengting's emotions had calmed, she left Xiao Feng's shoulder with a flushed face, then said solemnly, "Thank you. With this money, I won't have to work for Zhou Dong, and you will be safe."

"Don't, this one million is me paying for Zhou Dong, not because I feel sorry for you." Xiao Feng glanced at the clock on the wall, "It's about time, start calling for people now."

Chu Mengting, puzzled, frowned and asked, "Why?"

She truly didn't understand why Xiao Feng, knowing Zhou Dong wanted to harm him, still let her call people in.

Moreover, Xiao Feng even paid Zhou Dong one million, wasn't this paying to suffer?

Seeing the doubt in Chu Mengting's eyes, Xiao Feng smiled slightly, lazily saying, "I'm the kind of person who always avenges personal grievances. Zhou Dong is my Second Uncle's son, and Second Uncle has done me favors. Only if you attempt to harm me on Zhou Dong's behalf can I justifiably deal with him."

"Then even if Second Uncle comes to question me, I'll have ample reason to explain to him."

"Conversely, if you don't cooperate with Zhou Dong now, then even if I act against him, I have to consider Second Uncle's face. If you really feel uneasy, just regard it as doing me a favor."

Chu Mengting raised a concern: "But what if the police arrest you?"

"Unless I choose not to leave, no place in this world can hold me. Besides, isn't there you?" Xiao Feng laughed, "When things get really desperate, you can come forward and testify for me."

After some hesitation, Chu Mengting said, "Then ... should I call?"

Xiao Feng nodded, then watched as Chu Mengting wiped away her tears, tossed her clothes aside, and clung tightly to his neck. A piercing scream erupted beside his ear: "Help!"
