"Are you saying, Fei'er has an engagement with that person?" Jiang Feng frowned and asked Yu Hang.
"It can't really be considered an engagement, more like a prearranged promise."
Zhu Ge Yuheng sighed, "When my brother was alive, he knew his background was not clean, and it was hard to maintain business long-term, so he thought of the backing of the Huangfu Family. Coincidentally, when the eldest young master of the Huangfu Family came to Binhai, he took a liking to the young lady, so my brother made a deal and promised to betroth the young lady to him."
"As far as I know, that young master took this matter seriously. All this time, he has been keeping an eye on the young lady, but due to some special reasons, he hasn't come to Binhai."
"Does Fei'er know about this now?" Jiang Feng asked.
"This morning, when the young lady went to the company, I hinted at it a little..."
Zhu Ge Yuheng said bitterly, "Seeing her innocent and cheerful demeanor, I really felt it was unfair to keep such a big matter hidden from her. Sooner or later, she would have to know, I couldn't hide it for long..."
Jiang Feng frowned again, not expecting Zhu Ge Yuheng to have already informed Chu Feifei about this.
"Then how did Fei'er react?"
"She... did not react well." Zhu Ge Yuheng said bitterly, "When I told her, the smile on her face disappeared in an instant, turning into confusion, bewilderment, and disbelief..."
"She questioned me about why her brother could do such a thing, and I couldn't answer..."
Looking at Zhu Ge Yuheng's pained expression, Jiang Feng also understood his dilemma.
This was a mistake made when Chu Renxiong was alive, and no one could change it, not even Zhu Ge Yuheng could avoid taking the blame.
As for Chu Feifei's reaction, Jiang Feng could completely imagine how much of a blow this was to her!
"Mr. Jiang, even if I don't say it, you already know, actually the young lady towards you..."
Zhu Ge Yuheng hesitated, after all, he knew the real relationship between Jiang Feng and Nangong Qingcheng, so it was not easy to speak clearly, but he sighed and said, "Ever since you returned triumphant with the young lady, letting her take over her brother's position, as long as she is in the group, alone with me, she will mention you, you can't imagine how happy and excited she looks..."
"She truly and genuinely likes you. Every time I see her longing for the possibility of being with you, my heart feels especially pained. She doesn't know that's something that could never happen..."
Hearing this, Jiang Feng was moved, and suddenly felt a deep pain in his heart.
"But at this stage, it's always good for her to maintain a pure and beautiful fantasy. That's also the reason why I've kindly hidden your real relationship with Lady Nangong from her..."
"However, with an impending blow in the future awaiting her, it's enough, and now, there's also such a tribulation. I'm really worried that she can't bear it, how could her life be so miserable..."
"Don't say anymore." Jiang Feng took a deep breath and looked at Zhu Ge Yuheng calmly, "What do you hope I do?"
"Firstly, Mr. Jiang, when you return to Binhai, I hope you can console the young lady well and advise her to look at the bright side." Zhu Ge Yuheng said with reluctance in his heart.
"What else?"
"Also—" Zhu Ge Yuheng took a deep look at Jiang Feng, "I hope Mr. Jiang can take the young lady to the Provincial City and personally dissolve the agreement with the Huangfu Family."
Jiang Feng frowned, looking at Zhu Ge Yuheng.
"Having witnessed your effortless defeat of Han Shilong, I believe Mr. Jiang will definitely be able to do it! If necessary, I will accompany you, even if facing the wrath of the Huangfu Family, we will bear it together!" Zhu Ge Yuheng said more gravely.
"That's actually a good idea." Jiang Feng was silent for a moment, then said indifferently, "To settle it once and for all, eliminating future troubles, truly far-sighted."
"Mr. Jiang, you jest, we are merely doing our utmost to make amends for my brother's past mistakes, so you... agree?" Zhu Ge Yuheng asked somewhat excitedly.
Although he guessed Jiang Feng would venture into the Dragon Pond and Tiger Cave for Chu Feifei, he didn't expect Jiang Feng to agree so readily!
After all, that is the Huangfu Family, one of the nine major families in the Provincial City, ranked ninth in such a power-complex place like the Provincial City, far surpassing any entity in the lower Binhai City!
"As long as it makes Fei'er happy, a mere Huangfu Family is nothing, even the supreme Imperial Family, I will trample and destroy them, let alone just a visit." Jiang Feng laughed coldly.
Zhu Ge Yuheng felt even more exhilarated upon hearing this!
If he weren't so aware of Jiang Feng's strength and sensed the immense confidence radiating from Jiang Feng while saying this, he almost thought Jiang Feng was talking wildly!
Just based on Jiang Feng's bold spirit, Miss did not misjudge him!
Zhu Ge Yuheng exhaled deeply and smiled, "I knew the young lady didn't choose the wrong person, Mr. Jiang, I thank you once again on behalf of my late brother! Furthermore, if you need any help from me, just say the word, I will do my utmost!"
"No need. I have only one question, between the He Family and the Huangfu Family in the Provincial City, which holds more power?" Jiang Feng suddenly asked.
Speaking of the Provincial City, Jiang Feng suddenly remembered it's already the end of the month, and the day promised to Situ Yan is getting closer, adding more to his destined trip to the Provincial City!
Even though he also didn't regard the He Family much, knowing the situation is always good.
"The He Family?" Zhu Ge Yuheng was stunned for a moment, thought for a bit and said, "That's still far beneath them! To us in Binhai, the He Family is relatively strong, but it's still no match for the Huangfu Family!"
"The Huangfu Family ranks ninth among the nine major families in the Provincial City, truly a Gate Valve highland, while the He Family at best is a second-tier family, only ranking in the mid-tier."
Jiang Feng didn't speak further, having learned what he wanted to know, he had a clear understanding.
...
Soon, Jiang Feng returned to Bai Zhiqing's house, seeing that the Bai Family's relatives had already left.
The fallen from favor Bai Yanting and the distraught Zou Jingtian were also driven out of the Bai Family. As for whether they went to the hospital for treatment or went home to weep in regret, it was no longer Jiang Feng's concern.
"Oh my, Xiao Feng, you're back. Come, sit down! This whole situation, how come Zhiqing's father and I couldn't see that you were a True Dragon and Golden Phoenix, blame us for having eyes but failing to recognize..."
As he approached the doorstep, even before stepping inside, Zheng Xiulan had already welcomed him out, even setting out a brand new pair of slippers for Jiang Feng.
"Auntie, I won't go in, I'm here to take Zhiqing back." Jiang Feng said calmly.
"Uh, back?" Zheng Xiulan was momentarily taken aback, her golden son-in-law leaving already? Not even giving her a chance to make amends!
At this moment, Bai Zhiqing also came out from inside, and was somewhat puzzled by Jiang Feng's urgent departure.
"Zhiqing, there's an urgent matter in Binhai that requires me to return right away, come with me." Jiang Feng said to Bai Zhiqing.
"Oh!" Bai Zhiqing, though a bit regretful, immediately took her bag and came out.
"Oh my, you're just going like that?" Zheng Xiulan was fretful, desperately winking at Bai Zhiqing, but Bai Zhiqing could only respond with a bitter smile.
What Jiang Feng decided, was not something she could change?
Hence, under Bai Wenmo and Zheng Xiulan's reluctant farewell, Jiang Feng and Bai Zhiqing eventually left.
Leaving the couple in endless regret, fearing Jiang Feng might not forgive them.
In fact, Jiang Feng's heart was only focused on Chu Feifei.
He only wished to quickly reach Chu Feifei's side and help her through this challenging time together!
