“If not, if my Yue’er ends up rejecting me because of this, neither of you will have a peaceful life. I’ll definitely drag both of you down with me—we’re in the same boat, so none of us will be better off!” Jiang Feng started acting like a scoundrel.

Gang Zi slapped his forehead. “Where did you learn to be such a rascal? From what I know, your mom isn’t like that, and your… ‘cheap dad’ doesn’t seem to be either—both are people who value their reputation! How come you’re the only one without any shame or scruples, just a heartless, unreasonable thug?”

Jiang Feng’s ‘cheap dad’ might be a secret around Mingyue, but it’s certainly no secret among Gang Zi and Ming Kai.

Back when Gang Zi first beat up Jiang Feng, Ming Kai had already dug up every detail about Jiang Feng’s background.

Jiang Feng let out a hearty laugh. “Who knows? Maybe I’m just super talented and underwent a genetic mutation during my growth!”

Gang Zi: …

Jiang Feng: “Anything else? If not, I’m leaving. Heading back to Ningcheng.”

“Nothing really. I just ran into you unexpectedly and thought I’d drop you a line. As for that Fu Qiancheng, if it’s not okay, don’t go too far. Our young master feels guilty toward him—I can tell.”

“Got it, got it.” Jiang Feng huffed impatiently, turned around, and walked away, only to suddenly see Fu Qiancheng’s sickly face popping up before his eyes.

Just yesterday, that sickly guy had dragged his tottering body over to see him, asking right off the bat, “Jiang Feng, where have you been all this time?”

Jiang Feng shot back, “Do I need to report to you?”

Lin Xi really knows how to handle older folks.

With just a few words, she successfully joined the group, easily won over Zhang Yang’s parents, and then effortlessly gleaned basic information about Zhang Yang’s family situation.

Dressed as a middle-aged woman, she pushed her little cart along, smiling as she said to Zhang Mama, “Oh, what wonderful news! Let me congratulate you and your son!”

“Thank you, thank you.” Zhang Mama paid her.

Lin Xi waved her hand and was about to leave, but just then the phone rang. She had to pause her stall for a moment, fished her phone out of her pocket, and answered, drawing out her voice as she asked the other end, “Hello, brother—you want to talk to me again at this hour? What’s up?”

On the other end, Xiao Hu was completely baffled. He stammered, “Nothing, nothing! Didn’t you, Xixi, tell me to call you at this time? Did I make a mistake? No, right? I remember you said you were just about to head out and called then!”

Lin Xi was wearing headphones, so nobody else could hear a thing. Lin Xi almost burst out laughing, but instead of explaining to the man on the other end, she drew out her voice and said loudly, in front of everyone present, sounding utterly exasperated:

“What good does it do to tell me all this now? Your sister is just an ordinary person, plain and simple. Your brother-in-law doesn’t take care of anything at home—he’s always out wandering around and never brings a single penny home!

I’m the one pushing this cart from morning till night, barely managing to provide enough food for our whole family. What good is it for you to come looking for me? What good is it for you to look for me?

Didn’t I warn you back then? Didn’t I quietly pull you aside and say, ‘Xiao Hu, when something seems too strange, there’s bound to be trouble.’ But you wouldn’t listen! You insisted on diving right in, and now you realize you’ve been tricked, deceived, stuck in a dead-end, and regretting it—so what good is it now?”
