NOVEL NEXT Chapter 92 Invitations
Exhausted, Ling Feng opened the door and walked into the room. The events of the day had been too many, with Liu Tingyu and Bai Feifei, two rare women, constantly spinning in his mind.
"Ah, what should I do?" Ling Feng rubbed his head with a headache.
Although he was one of the Eight War Gods of the Underworld, he was not so liberal when it came to matters of romance! Perhaps influenced by the love and sacrifice he saw between his parents, Ling Feng was always very cautious with emotions.
"It's a pity that I only have five more years to live!" Ling Feng's mouth twitched into a bitter smile, "How could I satisfy my own feelings at the expense of your lifelong happiness?"
Looking at a family portrait of three on the wall, Ling Feng muttered to himself, "Mom and Dad, can you tell me what I should do?"
Ding dong! The doorbell rang.
Ling Feng opened the door, and there stood a young man in his early twenties, with a trace of familiarity in his eyebrows, but his aura was quite gloomy, giving Ling Feng an uncomfortable feeling.
"Excuse me, are you Brother Feng?" Upon seeing Ling Feng, the young man smiled and said, "I am Ling Xiao, not sure if Brother Feng still remembers me?"
Ling Xiao? Ling Feng's brow slightly furrowed, "Of course I remember, but what brings you here?"
As for Ling Xiao, Ling Feng was not very fond of him, remembering how Ling Xiao used to lie and scheme when they were children, often falsely accusing other kids, which made Ling Feng quite disgusted!
However, that said, Ling Feng had to admit that compared to Ling Hai, Ling Xiao was already a phoenix among people!
"Brother Feng, listen to you!" Ling Xiao laughed, "After all, we are relatives. You and uncle have been out of touch for years, we were so worried! Now that we learned you are back, my dad and I couldn't be happier!"
"Really?" Ling Feng's mouth twisted into a mocking smile, "Happy? I don't think so! My return means the ownership of this house goes back to my hands, doesn't it?"
Ling Xiao was stunned, then laughed loudly, "Look at what you're saying, this house was originally your uncle's. We were just taking care of it! Brother Feng, you are breaking our hearts saying that!"
Ling Feng smiled slightly, "Alright, consider it my blunder. But what brings you here so late?"
Ling Xiao took out an invitation from his pocket, "Brother Feng, the day after tomorrow is my dad's sixtieth birthday, I would like to use this opportunity to invite you. It's the perfect chance for my dad who has been wanting to see you! Please, do come!"
Ling Feng accepted the invitation, a slight frown forming on his brow, then he chuckled lightly, "Alright, since you insist, I'll respectfully accept the invitation! Anything else?"
Ling Xiao said, "That's it, I mainly came to deliver the invitation!"
"Then that's all for today, I'm also tired, you should go back and rest!" Ling Feng yawned, then closed the door, "Safe travels."
Ling Xiao was taken aback as Ling Feng shut the door firmly, a grimace forming on his face, astonished that Ling Feng was so discourteous, not even offering him a glass of water!
"Hmph, Ling Feng! I'll let you be arrogant for now!" A fierce glint of murderous intent flashed in Ling Xiao's eyes, "When the right opportunity comes, I will definitely give you a proper 'hospitality'!"
Sitting in the room, Ling Feng quietly looked at the invitation in his hand.
"If nothing unexpected happens, Ling Hai is probably a Fake Eunuch now! This invitation from Ling Xiao clearly reveals his intentions! Ling Guodong's sixtieth birthday? It looks like a setup for a trap!"
Ling Xiao was the Deputy Hall Master of the United Hearts Gang, a fact Ling Feng had seen in the information Bai Feifei provided! There was already a lot of bad blood between him and the United Hearts Gang. Once the gang members realize that he was the one who subdued Situ Wushui and the bank robbers, they would definitely seek crazy revenge on him!
In short, there was no possibility of reconciliation between Ling Feng and Ling Xiao anymore! Unless Ling Xiao could give up his position as Deputy Hall Master of the United Hearts Gang and join Ling Feng in resisting the gang!
But obviously, this possibility was even slimmer than the national football team advancing in a tournament!
"I originally didn't want to deal with you, but since you want to set a trap, I'll just have to see what tricks you, Ling Xiao, can play!" Ling Feng smiled slightly.
Two days quickly passed by, and Ling Feng casually dressed and hailed a cab to the address mentioned on the invitation.
Qingshui Villa's Banquet by the Stream!
Today, the Qingshui Villa was filled with guests, all of whom were of significant status.
"Ling Xiao, will that scoundrel Ling Feng come today?" Inside the villa, Ling Hai spoke excitedly, "I can't wait to see that scoundrel getting humiliated!"
Ling Xiao spoke indifferently, "Big brother, our main goal today is to celebrate father's sixtieth birthday! Addressing Ling Feng is just incidental! And since the guests today are all from notable backgrounds, you better not embarrass me!"
Although Ling Xiao's words were harsh, Ling Hai seemed used to it, "Hehe, don't worry! I'm not the kind to disregard the bigger picture!"
Ling Xiao nodded, "Put away your hostility, and don't forget, you still need Ling Feng's help with your issue! If you don't want to be an eunuch for life, better behave! I'm going to see dad now, I'll leave this to you!"
After delegating the tasks to Ling Hai, Ling Xiao headed towards the interior of the villa.
Arriving at his father's room, Ling Xiao pushed open the door, only to see his father Ling Guodong in disheveled clothing.
