"What on earth is going on?"
The old lady, shrewd with age, saw Han Rui’s hesitant appearance and turned her head directly. Han Rui, not daring to disobey, whispered a few words into the old lady’s ear.
"Unfilial!"
The old lady directly gritted her teeth and spat out two words. Han Rui saw the old lady’s expression, "Old lady, today is your birthday celebration, please don’t let anger ruin your health. And then, there’s the Wang Family’s daughter..."
"Oh my, you really are sothing, it’s been only a mont, and you’re already in here."
In the police station, Li Zidong appeared outside the detention room and looked at Li Feng sitting inside, a cold sneer on his face, thinking that a bad elent is truly hopeless.
If it weren’t for his father telling him to pick soone up, he really wouldn’t have wanted to co to this. The old lady’s seventieth birthday celebration, and Li Feng had managed to get himself arrested, perfect, he didn’t even need to put effort into it. Li Feng was indeed a considerate older brother.
Li Feng looked up at Li Zidong, "Are you here to laugh at ?"
Li Zidong laughed, "How dare I? After all, you’re my brother, not to ntion, it’s grandma’s big birthday today. You are our family’s eldest son, everyone is waiting for you to attend and celebrate."
"Mr. Li, the bail procedure is complete."
"Let’s go, big brother."
"Damn, without my consent, I’d like to see who dares to release him." At this mont, a curse ca from outside, Zhuang Bufen appearing furiously.
"Who the hell are you to him? Offending , Zhuang Bufen, one of the Four Young Masters of Right Sea, and you still think about getting released on bail? I’m telling you..."
Zhuang Bufen stepped forward, pointing a finger at Li Zidong but then seeing clearly as Li Zidong turned his head.
Gulp.
"Mr. Li... Mr. Li."
Li Zidong narrowed his eyes at Zhuang Bufen, "You know ?"
Zhuang Bufen imdiately shrunk a few inches, his previous arrogance disappeared, a face of flattery appeared, "Everyone who mingles in Jin City Circle knows Mr. Li. I had the fortune to et Mr. Li once before, I never dared forget Mr. Li’s commanding presence."
"Oh, you’re Zhuang Bufen?"
"Yes, yes, my father is Zhuang Yu, and Han Yu International City belongs to my family. Mr. Li, I really didn’t know it was you just now, look at my foul mouth."
Zhuang Bufen imdiately smacked his own mouth.
Li Zidong scoffed, "Alright, I don’t have ti to dawdle with you. Are you releasing him or not?"
"Releasing, if I had known it was Mr. Li, why would I bother you to co here personally?" Zhuang Bufen’s attitude was as low as if he had t his own father.
"This person is a friend of Mr. Li? It’s really like a flood crashing into Dragon King Temple."
Zhuang Bufen turned his head to look at Li Feng inside, squeezed out a smile, but Li Zidong shook his head, "Not a friend!"
"Huh?"
"He’s my brother, my half-brother from the sa father."
"Ah!"
Zhuang Bufen’s eyes widened, his face in disbelief, as he watched Li Feng being released. Li Zidong patted Zhuang Bufen’s shoulder and then left directly.
Li Feng glanced at Zhuang Bufen, who seed as if under an Immobilization Spell, followed Li Zidong out of the police station, got into the car, and went straight back to the old house in Jin City.
"Grandma, Zidong was delayed a bit, I hope you can forgive him. This is a Mutton Fat Jade Buddha that Zidong specifically bought for you, wishing you plenty of descendants, a long life of a hundred years, and endless prosperity."
Li Zidong rushed into the back hall as soon as he entered, directly knelt down to the old lady presenting the carefully prepared birthday gift.
"Grandma, this piece of jade is said to have been passed down from the palace, even worn by the Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang. Zidong doesn’t know whether it’s true or false, please use your keen eyes to inspect it for your grandson."
"Ha, good, your filial piety is enough."
The old lady grasped Li Zidong’s hand, completely ignoring Li Feng who had co in with him. Wang Jin’er stood beside the old lady, knowing Li Zidong. At this mont, she looked again at Li Feng who had entered with Li Zidong.
Wang Jin’er was a bit incredulous, how could it be him.
He wouldn’t have followed and tracked Yanran without telling her, right? Impossible, this is the Li Family mansion, and there are guards at the gate.
Could it be that he is the illegitimate son of the Li Family that she was destined to marry?
Wang Jin’er was sowhat confused for a mont.
Li Feng noticed Wang Jin’er standing next to the old lady, but he only glanced at her once. She was Li Zidong’s girlfriend, not an ex, more like the current one.
"What are you still standing there for?"
The old lady’s tone was cold as she looked towards Li Feng. Li Feng glanced at the old lady, "Li Feng wishes the old lady..."
"Li Feng, how bold of you."
Li Zidong turned his head and glared at Li Feng, "Li Feng, you’re the younger generation. Wishing grandma a happy birthday should just involve a bow, even if you intend to go through the motions, at least put so effort into it."
"Grandma, I’m sorry, I’ve tolerated him all the way. Today is supposed to be your big celebration, a joyous occasion."
"Enough."
The old lady interrupted Li Zidong, looked up at Li Feng, "I know you hold a grudge, I don’t even deserve your bow, go back."
Li Feng looked at the old lady, his face showing no emotion, "This is the birthday gift I bought for you, I’ll leave it here." Li Feng then imdiately turned around and left.
"Grandma, please take care of your health, don’t get so upset it’s not worth it."
"Jin’er."
"Aunt Grandma."
"Aunt Grandma is sorry to put you through this marriage. If you are unwilling, just tell Aunt Grandma, and I will decide for you."
"Aunt Grandma, this concerns the major affairs of both families. Jin’er wouldn’t dare to be willful since Uncle Li has his reasons."
"You girl, being too clever may cause you to suffer."
Li Feng left the courtyard and ran into a grim-faced Li Mingrui, "Co to the study with ."
"Getting arrested for drunken brawling, was that intentional? Are you still acting like a rebellious teenager, recklessly without any growth over the years? You truly disappointed ."
Li Feng chuckled, "I’ve always been useless as ever, it’s not your first day knowing that."
Li Mingrui looked at Li Feng, who adopted a resigned attitude, and pointed at his nose, "You...!"
"I’m telling you, if you think by playing these little tricks you can call off the marriage between the two families, think again. Whether you like it or not, marrying into the Wang Family is already set in stone. It’s at the hotel where the Wang’s daughter is staying in Jin City. Tonight at six, et her at the hotel’s Western restaurant."
"What if I don’t go?"
"Complete this marriage, and your mother will enter the Li family ancestral hall."
Li Mingrui glanced at Li Feng, then abruptly turned and left.
"Heh, the Li family ancestral hall, who cares."
Li Feng clenched his fist; he might not care, but he couldn’t just give up. Entering the ancestral hall ans his mother wasn’t just so trivial woman.
He couldn’t let his mother bear a mistress’s na and be defad by others, leaving her unable to rest in peace even in death.
The lights were just coming on, International Trade Hotel.
"What, that rogue is your fiancé, are you sure?"
In the hotel room, Shen Yanran leapt up from the bed in disbelief, looking at Wang Jin’er, "So what was that earlier, a pre-examination visit? This guy is really cunning."
"I was saying, how could it be such a coincidence both tis, turns out he was secretly tracking all along."
"Jin’er, do you think both tis could have been arranged by him?"
