In an instant, Feng Chengxuan’s face froze, "Cheng Jin..." Feng Chengjin raised his hand slightly, "Big brother, I know what I’m doing." "But she’s my woman." Feng Chengxuan: "Whether she’s your woman or not, no matter how ridiculous things you’ve done in the past, that’s all gone. In reality, people don’t seek the right or wrong causes, they only look at results. The result is, if you go find her now, you’ll both be criticized." Feng Chengjin: "It’s not my fault she was deceived into marriage. I’ll try to minimize the public’s opinion, but, big brother, if you ask me to give up now, I can’t do it." The insistence made Feng Chengxuan frown deeply. The members of the Feng Family have very attractive features, and Feng Chengjin and Feng Chengxuan’s sharp eyebrows are particularly similar. "Do you really like her that much? I don’t understand, what do you like about her?" Feng Chengxuan’s brows furrowed into a knot. In Feng Chengjin’s mind, a woman’s every smile and frown, every pout and anger appeared. Hearing this, the corners of his lips slightly lifted as he turned his head to look at the sunlight filtering through the tree canopy above, like a soft kiss gently landing on his face. "Maybe it’s her personality. Isn’t marriage about finding someone whose personality matches yours, someone you can spend the rest of your life with? If you insist on an answer, I can only say, she makes me feel that being in love is a very interesting thing." Thinking about Feng Chengjin’s rebellious nature since childhood, Feng Chengxuan seemed to understand something, yet also seemed to understand nothing. After a long time, it was when the housekeeper of the manor brought them wine and fruits, dispersed the servant, that he directly picked up and poured two glasses, handing one to Feng Chengjin, and sipping the other himself. The family education of the Feng Family is very good. Except for Feng Yuxi, who has learned from society, the rest do not smoke. Feng Chengxuan took two sips, pondered, paused for a while, laid it down, pondered for a while, and said, "I’ll keep it a secret for you until the New Year, and I’ll help you stop it from the side, but the undeniable fact is, whether you like that girl or not, that girl’s nature is too stubborn and has hurt you. If things work out this time, that’s great, if not..." Feng Chengxuan paused, "Take care of yourself, don’t get hurt a second time." The depth in the compromise and words made the corners of Feng Chengjin’s lips lift, nodding slightly. Feng Chengxuan glanced over, chuckled and shook his head, "Ah, you always use me as a shield every time." His motive revealed, Feng Chengjin’s eyes curved like crescent moons, his fingers half-fisted, snickering low at his nose, "Well, who told you to be the big brother?" "Ah..." Feng Chengxuan sighed deeply at this, raising his hand to rub his brow, "Looking at the entire Feng Family, you’re probably the only one who can take advantage of me." After that, it was other conversations between the two brothers. Having not seen each other for a long time, when it came to work matters, men together seemed to have endless things to talk about. On the other side of the villa, in the central flowerbed from the side door, Li Zixin was also serving tea and snacks to entertain Qi Shuya beside the swing seat. Li Zixin had just given Qi Shuya a necklace. The jade-crafted jewelry was not suitable for Qi Shuya at her age, but it was a symbol of identity recognition. Qi Shuya placed it on her dress, holding it, her gaze occasionally crossing the lawn, falling to the other side. After several wandering gazes, Li Zixin smiled, "It seems you really like my family’s third son." Qi Shuya’s heart trembled, she withdrew her gaze, awkwardly smiled and said, "Actually no, it’s just that I feel Mr. Feng didn’t actually fancy me, just a bit disappointed." Feng Chengjin didn’t fancy her. Li Zixin was momentarily shocked, looking at the smart and perceptive woman in front of her for a long while, she laughed and said, "You can’t say it that way, what does it mean to fancy or not fancy? Maybe this isn’t the right thing to say, and it’s not that our family wants to look down on you, it’s just that Cheng Jin’s temperament... is a bit too much, if he hasn’t refused you, it means he’s considering a possible state." Having heard many people tell her the same thing today, Qi Shuya was momentarily stunned, then softly chuckled, "Is Madam Li advising me to be more proactive, to pursue him?" Seeing Qi Shuya’s remarkable insight, Li Zixin chuckled and nodded, "Being a little more proactive might not be bad. I’ve heard my husband say that Cheng Jin used to like a girl, but initially, it was the other person who made the first move." Qi Shuya lifted her eyes, her eyelashes fluttering slightly. Her quiet and elegant demeanor was liked by Li Zixin, who patted her hand, picked up the flower tea, and smiled as she lightly sipped. Qi Shuya let her gaze fall toward the distance, on Feng Chengjin... When Feng Chengjin finished discussing matters with Feng Chengxuan, it was already dusk. The servant came to call them for dinner, and both rose simultaneously. Perhaps knowing that after this meal, Feng Chengjin would likely be leaving, Feng Chengxuan, upon looking up, saw Qi Shuya walking together with Mrs. Li Zhi towards the villa, thought for a moment, and stopped. "However, Shuya is a good woman, and good women all have their own values. If you can’t find Miss Gu, remember not to be too stubborn. Try genuinely engaging with Miss Qi, and who knows, you might find she’s another Miss Gu after connecting. They’re all socialites; their dispositions are likely similar. Don’t let a potentially fruitless romance tear your life apart. Especially... you are thirty-four now, there’s no more time for another eight years." Feng Chengxuan spoke earnestly, and Feng Chengjin looked up, following the mottled dusk sunlight to gaze at that pale blue dress’s silhouette for a long time, then nodded slightly, "Hmm." The birthday banquet gradually unfolded amid the clink and clatter inside the luxurious villa. Feng Chengxuan’s birthday party was grand, with many distinguished guests attending, and only those very close were allowed into the Feng Mansion. However, after cutting the cake, many wanted to see the now most renowned successful person in Rong City, the third son of the Feng Family. Yet they found that Feng Chengjin had already disappeared without a trace... The dazzling black Bentley Mulsanne vanished from the Feng Mansion, with Feng Chengjin driving single-handedly, starting to ponder what time to go find Gu Zixuan tomorrow. Thinking of her, he fiddled with his tie at the collar and suddenly, a smile curved at the corner of his lips. At this moment, inside the He Mansion. Zhou Huimei sat upright, her face shifting between dark and light, red and white hues. He Qimo was not home, and He Yuan, having coronary heart disease, would go for a walk after dinner every day, and was also not inside the villa. By all accounts, such a time should be when she’s most spirited, when no one in the He Mansion dared to challenge her. Yet today, sitting across from her was a person like a deity of sorts. Cold-faced, Zhou Huimei laughed, "How many times do I have to say it, I didn’t call them! Besides, you contacted the reporters yourself, now Qi Mo doesn’t care about you, finding me won’t help!" But this didn’t elicit Shen Jian妮’s usual timely retreat, instead resulted in an even greater cold laugh. Nearby, the manager Xiao Liu shivered all over, dared not lift his head. Toward cowardly Xiao Liu who diminished her momentum, Shen Jian妮 gave a disdainful glance, fiddling with her immaculate curls, raised her chin, and continued boasting to Zhou Huimei, "Well, I don’t care, anyway, since He Qimo doesn’t care, seeing that the public opinion is about to attack my whole family, if I don’t seek you, who else should I seek? And you say you didn’t call them, I don’t believe it, how come, of all times, the reporters came when I went to find Gu Zixuan? Besides you, who else knew I’d go find Gu Zixuan? Anyway, Mrs. Zhou, if you resolve this matter for me, I’ll be in a good mood, and temporarily overlook your sabotage, if you don’t..." With a mocking pout, Shen Jian妮 crossed her arms, lay heavily into the couch like a spoiled ancient lady, and proclaimed, "I’ll just stay here today and won’t leave, let’s see how Mr. He administers justice when he returns." The tantrum and obstinacy left Zhou Huimei speechless, particularly as she never imagined that the once obedient, easily controlled Shen Jian妮 would turn out to be such a character when she got riled up. Sternly scolding, Zhou Huimei attempted one last warning and expulsion, "Miss Shen, don’t forget, you’re still a signed model under Junsheng Group of He’s Enterprise!" Upon hearing this, Shen Jian妮 merely chuckled, "You mean to say, you think with the matter exposed, facing He’s Enterprise still being my employer, I wouldn’t dare act up, and could only swallow my anger, right?" Zhou Huimei’s face turned pale with embarrassment, "You..." Shen Jian妮 continued, flaunting like a brazen madam, "Then you really got it wrong, first of all, Mrs. Zhou, I used to fawn over you because you’re Mr. He’s mother. This is love through association, I like Mr. He, so naturally I’m good to you." "But, even if living without boundaries is fine, after all, I’m not the only one losing decorum in this society, but at least conscience and trust shouldn’t be lost, right? If you don’t like me, you could reject me. You agreed to me, yet played me, that’s where you’re wrong, especially in this matter, not only did you not fulfill your promised feelings to me, but you also attempted to break my rice bowl along the way." Facing Zhou Huimei’s startled and ever more paler face. Follow current ɴᴏᴠᴇʟs on novel★fire.net Shen Jian妮 relaxed and comfortably leaned into the couch, adding, "Perhaps you’re not familiar with me, I’m someone who wants love but absolutely prioritizes bread. If you don’t mess with my golden rice bowl, we can fake interactions however we like, but if you do, then Mrs. Zhou, I’m afraid we’ll have a problem, and let me tell you, in the industry my nickname is Mr. Ye, why so? Because I’m uneducated, I started hustling after graduating high school, without family upbringing, I excel at scrappy verbal altercations, also known as the sharp-tongued Hu San Niang." Pausing for a moment, Shen Jian妮 softened her tone, her eyes dynamically half-squinting, carrying a playful mock, "So, do you wish to tangle with me?" Instantly, Zhou Huimei trembled all over with anger, her face transitioned from pale grey to iron blue, then steadily to deep red, heading straight towards purple-black...
