Xu Liang did not fail to et Lin Feng’s expectations, swelling with arrogance when he heard Su Zi’s voice filled with praise. This was because the people of Treasure Island held a deep sense of superiority over mainlanders.
"Yes, our Xu Family is a renowned clan on Treasure Island. Xu Fu is our family business, and it has a history of nearly a hundred years... Hehe, but these things are not worth ntioning, not worth ntioning..." After blowing his own trumpet for a bit, Xu Liang waved his hand, feigning modesty as if expecting praise for his humility. It was truly nauseating.
Lin Feng frowned and glanced speechlessly at Su Zi. He couldn’t understand why Su Zi was still talking to this guy. Surely she wouldn’t endure her disgust just to eat here, would she? Hadn’t he already said he’d take them to another restaurant?
Su Zi seed to notice Lin Feng’s frustration. With a playful smile, she subtly shook her head at him, signaling him not to interrupt.
Upon seeing Su Zi’s small gesture, Lin Feng could only remain patient and continue to observe.
Seeing Su Zi’s growing curiosity, Xu Liang couldn’t resist striking while the iron was hot. "Since you’re so curious about our Xu Family and the Xu Fu Food Group, Miss," he invited, "why don’t we sit down, have a al, and chat properly?"
He believed he exuded considerable charm and grace. As a billionaire with a handso and imposing appearance, ordinary won naturally couldn’t resist him. In his mind, both Su Zi and Ning Aoxue must have already fallen for him by now, and Lin Feng should be cowering in his presence.
It must be said that narcissism is often a man’s greatest common failing.
"I’m so sorry..." Su Zi said softly to Xu Liang, her eyes filled with reluctance. "Handso Xu, I was really looking forward to eating at the observatory restaurant in this building. My sister loves it too. We had such a hard ti convincing our husband to bring us. But who knew Young Master Xu would book the whole place! Our husband is upset now, so we were planning to leave..."
Upon hearing Su Zi’s revealing words, Xu Liang’s eyes widened involuntarily. He hadn’t expected Ning Aoxue to be Su Zi’s "sister"! He was even more astounded that the inconspicuous Lin Feng was the "husband" of these two stunning won!
Damn it all... Is that fair? I’m so handso, yet why have I never t even one woman as beautiful as these? How is this damn brat so lucky with won? This is simply outrageous!
Xu Liang’s eyes were bloodshot, glaring at Lin Feng as if he were a crazed wild beast ready to swallow Lin Feng whole.
Even Ning Aoxue blushed slightly as she heard Su Zi’s words. She had always known Su Zi was bold and, after years of contact, had sowhat adapted to Su Zi’s pace. However, Ning Aoxue was dressed particularly provocatively today, making her feel even more sensitive. Hearing Su Zi ntion that Lin Feng was their shared husband, Ning Aoxue couldn’t help but imagine: What would it be like if she and Su Zi really were to share Lin Feng’s bed together one day...?
Just the thought made Ning Aoxue flush. She couldn’t help but sneak a glance at Lin Feng, silently admonishing herself. I must have beco more depraved recently. How could I have such strange thoughts out of nowhere...?
Lin Feng was also stunned. He knew Su Zi was bold, but he never imagined she’d say sothing so outrageous. She was practically making him enemies!
As expected, Xu Liang spoke. Squinting his eyes slightly and fixing Lin Feng with a chilling gaze, he asked, "May I know your na, young man? What line of work are you in? Since fate has brought us together, why don’t we beco friends?"
Xu Liang’s offer to "beco friends" was about as trustworthy as a fox offering to guard the henhouse—all ulterior motives.
"No need." Lin Feng wasn’t as prone to gas as Su Zi and couldn’t be bothered with Xu Liang. He waved his hand dismissively. "I’m not interested in knowing you, and I don’t want you to know my na. I just want to find a place to eat. Since there’s no room here, we’ll go sowhere else. Goodbye."
But Xu Liang wasn’t about to let Lin Feng just walk away. Truthfully, he’d love for Lin Feng to leave by himself. But with Lin Feng’s arms around both Su Zi and Ning Aoxue, how could he possibly let him go?!
"Hold on! You’re being too distant, little brother," Xu Liang said with a smile, stepping forward to block Lin Feng’s path. "Didn’t I just say? Let’s be friends. What’s the big deal about sharing a al? Besides, I’ve booked the entire restaurant, so it’s all free. It’d be a waste not to eat, right?!"
There’s no such thing as a free lunch, as the saying goes. Lin Feng firmly believed this. If soone genuinely tells you there’s a free lunch waiting, you can be sure they’re after sothing you have.
Lin Feng knew Xu Liang coveted the two beautiful won by his side, Su Zi and Ning Aoxue. It has been ntioned that n tend to be narcissistic, and Lin Feng was one such man, albeit not overtly; sotis he was just quietly narcissistic. As such a narcissistic man, how could Lin Feng not speculate about Ning Aoxue and Su Zi’s feelings for him? The result was very clear: Lin Feng had always assud that Su Zi and Ning Aoxue either liked him or loved him. In other words, in Lin Feng’s subconscious, Su Zi and Ning Aoxue were his won.
When another man coveted the won he considered his, how could Lin Feng possibly be friendly towards Xu Liang?!
"Sorry, I’m not used to free things. It’s like so candies with well-known brand nas that actually use cheap ingredients. The sll of artificial flavoring alone makes want to puke..." Lin Feng said with a hollow laugh, his words laced with barbs.
Lin Feng didn’t say this without reason. The Xu Fu Food Group had recently been involved in a scandal, fined by the Food Inspection Bureau for producing goods that did not comply with health regulations. So, Lin Feng’s words were essentially a slap in the face to Xu Liang’s family business.
"You!" As expected, Xu Liang was thoroughly infuriated by Lin Feng’s remark. In fact, he had booked the observatory restaurant at Xinhai International today to entertain several directors and deputy directors of the Jiangzhou City Food Inspection Bureau, hoping to mitigate the negative impact of the recent food safety incident. Who would have thought they’d be worried about being too conspicuous in broad daylight and ask him to reschedule at a different ti and place?
Lin Feng’s words were like a slap to an open wound for Xu Liang, causing him excruciating pain.
