Chapter 12: I

Jiang Feng stayed overnight at the Su Family that night.

The next morning, just as he sat up from the bed, he heard a servant's gentle knock from Outside: "Mr. Jiang, are you awake? Outside there is Miss Ye Xiaoyue looking for you."

"Ye Xiaoyue?"

Jiang Feng was startled for a moment.

How did this woman manage to find the Su Family?

He dressed and went down to the downstairs living room, where he saw Ye Xiaoyue standing in the center of the living room.

Today she wore a pink dress, her face adorned with delicate light makeup, and she carried a small designer handbag.

The moment Jiang Feng came down, Ye Xiaoyue immediately piled a smile on her face, her Tone sweet to the point of cloying: "Jiang Feng, you're awake? Did you sleep well last night?"

She was a completely different person from the Last Time she scolded him, calling him a toad who wanted to eat swan meat.

Jiang Feng frowned, his Tone cold: "Do you have business with me?"

Ye Xiaoyue didn't mind his coldness; she even reached out to grab Jiang Feng's arm.

Jiang Feng stepped aside to dodge her; she then sheepishly withdrew her hand: "My father wants to see you. He said he hasn't seen Xuan Yuan Zhenren for a long time and wants to treat you to a meal."

"Your father?" Jiang Feng raised an eyebrow.

If it were Ye Xiaoyue who sought him, he would definitely refuse outright.

But Ye Zhonghai, after all, has a history with Xuan Yuan Zhenren, so Jiang Feng didn't know how to refuse at that moment.

Seeing his hesitation, Ye Xiaoyue quickly seized the opportunity: "My father specifically sent me to pick you up, and he said we're going to the best Wangjiang Pavilion in Jiangcheng for a meal! That place is extremely pricey; you can hardly ever book a table. My father pulled many connections to secure a reservation!"

In fact, Ye Xiaoyue was also annoyed that her father Ye Zhonghai placed so much importance on Jiang Feng.

After all, Wangjiang Pavilion is the top-tier restaurant under the Black Gold Society.

Even the Family Head of the Four Great Families must make a reservation to enter.

And his father's expense to host Jiang Feng can be considered a huge cost.

What right does this country bumpkin have!?

I expected Jiang Feng to be thrilled at the prospect of such a high‑end venue, but instead he simply nodded lightly: "Fine, I'll go with you, lead the way."

That tone made it sound as if Ye Xiaoyue were a maid.

Ye Xiaoyue instantly felt her temper flare.

But thinking of her plan, she forced herself to hold it in!

Jiang Feng, I'll make you regret it sooner or later!

Jiang Feng followed her out of the Su Family Villa and saw a red Porsche sports car parked at the entrance.

Ye Xiaoyue opened the passenger door: "Jiang Feng, sit up front; the view is better."

Jiang Feng, without hesitation, opened the door and got in.

He had just fastened his Safety belt when Ye Xiaoyue secretly took out her phone, turned her back to him and quickly tapped a few times.

Jiang Feng saw it but didn't expose her; he simply leaned back in the seat, closed his eyes and pretended to nap.

He actually wanted to see what trick this woman was up to.

The sports car quickly left the Su Family Villa, heading toward Wangjiang Pavilion.

Soon, the car arrived at Wangjiang Pavilion.

The place was indeed grand; the entrance was filled with luxury cars.

A server at the entrance, dressed in a red cheongsam, saw Ye Xiaoyue and immediately smiled, greeting her: "Miss Ye, you're here? Mr. Ye is already waiting in the Yulan Hall on the second floor."

Soon, the server led the two of them inside.

They pushed open the private room door of Yulan Hall and saw Ye Zhonghai seated by the Window.

When he saw Jiang Feng, he immediately stood up, a smile of Laughter on his face: "Is that Jiang Feng? You finally made it! Please, have a seat."

Jiang Feng nodded and sat down opposite him.

"Jiang Feng, I came to see you today mainly to ask about Xuan Yuan Zhenren's situation. If Xuan Yuan Zhenren hadn't saved me back then, I wouldn't be alive now. Over the years I've wanted to repay him, but ever since he rescued me, he hasn't returned to Jiangcheng..."

When Xuan Yuan Zhenren was mentioned, Ye Zhonghai's eyes were full of respect, and even his voice lowered a few notches.

Jiang Feng lifted his teacup, took a gentle sip, his Tone calm: "Master has already achieved Feathered Ascension to Immortality."

"Feathered Ascension to Immortality?"

Ye Zhonghai was startled for a moment, then his eyes lit up, and with Excitement he stood up: "Really… really? Xuan Yuan Zhenren really achieved Achieving Immortality?"

"What is this Feathered Ascension to Immortality!"

Ye Xiaoyue, who was playing with her phone, couldn't help rolling her eyes nearby, her Tone full of sarcasm.

"Jiang Feng, stop pretending to be Divine here! When a person dies, they're dead; why bring up Achieving Immortality? Do you think you're acting in a TV drama?"

"Silence!"

Ye Zhonghai abruptly turned his head, glared fiercely at Ye Xiaoyue, his voice harsh.

"You insolent! Xuan Yuan Zhenren is a high-level Achieving Immortality master; what do you know? When Xuan Yuan Zhenren saved me back then, the methods he used were beyond any ordinary person; why is becoming Immortal strange? If you dare speak nonsense again, get out!"

Ye Xiaoyue's eyes reddened from the scolding, and she bowed her head in grievance, muttering softly: "It was always like that… why can't people say it…"

Ye Zhonghai ignored her, then turned to Jiang Feng, his Tone apologetic: "Jiang Feng, I'm truly sorry; I've spoiled this little lady's temperament, so don't engage with her on equal footing."

He truly understood Xuan Yuan Zhenren's methods.

Since Jiang Feng is a Disciple of Xuan Yuan Zhenren, he naturally cannot take it lightly.

Earlier, while he was on a business trip abroad, after returning he heard that his wife and daughter had offended Jiang Feng; he wanted to cut ties with that mother‑daughter pair, as stupid as pigs!

Jiang Feng waved his hand: "It's fine; children don't understand, I don't mind."

Only then did Ye Zhonghai sigh in relief and speak: "Jiang Feng, actually I came to see you today; besides asking about Xuan Yuan Zhenren's situation, there's another matter I want to tell you— the marriage contract I made with Xuan Yuan Zhenren back then."

Jiang Feng's hand paused while holding the teacup, and he looked up at him: "Mr. Ye, regarding the marriage contract, Last Time I already clarified it with Xie Nvshi and Miss Ye..."

"Their words don't count!"

Ye Zhonghai cut him off directly, anxiously saying: "This marriage contract is what I personally made with Xuan Yuan Zhenren back then. Back then Xuan Yuan Zhenren saved me, and I had nothing to repay him, so I could only betroth my daughter to you; this is my Promise to Xuan Yuan Zhenren!"

He paused, then glanced at Ye Xiaoyue, who was bowing her head beside him, and softened his Tone a bit: "I know that earlier Xiaoyue and her mother did many excessive things to you, and I have already punished them. But this marriage contract cannot be changed; I have already decided that after a while we will hold a wedding for you, letting Xiaoyue marry you!"

Just kidding!

Marrying Jiang Feng would be the whole Ye Family's opportunity!

How could he just watch the Ye Family's future be cut off because of this Foolishness of the mother and daughter?

"What?"

Ye Xiaoyue suddenly lifted her head, her eyes wide and round, looking at Ye Zhonghai in disbelief.

"Dad! Are you crazy? I will never marry him! He's just a poor wretch, dressed like a beggar. If I married him, wouldn't the people of Jiangcheng laugh me to death? I want to marry Eldest Son Zhao Qiancheng of the Zhao Family!"

Ye Zhonghai's expression darkened again as he looked at Ye Xiaoyue, his Tone severe: "Zhao Qiancheng? Do you know what kind of people the Zhao Family are? If you marry Zhao Qiancheng, sooner or later you'll share his misfortune!"

"I don't care!"

Ye Xiaoyue started to throw a tantrum, pushing the bowl and chopsticks in front of her away.

"I will marry Eldest Son Zhao Shao! He's richer than Jiang Feng, more handsome than Jiang Feng, more capable than Jiang Feng! If you force me to marry Jiang Feng, I'll die in front of you!"

Ye Zhonghai, so angry that his whole body trembled, pointed at Ye Xiaoyue, unable to speak for a long time.

"You… you unfilial daughter! How could I have raised such an ungrateful thing! Jiang Feng is a Disciple of Xuan Yuan, with superb medical skill, upright character, one Hundred times better than that dandy Zhao Qiancheng! If you dare to marry, I will have no daughter!"

Ye Xiaoyue looked at Ye Zhonghai's stern gaze and knew that dad was serious this time.

Her heart was both afraid and hateful, yet she dared not argue again, and could only lie on the Table, sobbing.

Jiang Feng watched this scene and sighed inwardly.

The Ye Family's affair was more troublesome than he had imagined.

He had just wanted to refuse Ye Zhonghai when a rapid Foot sound came from outside the private room, and someone was shouting.

"Xiaoyue, I'm here! Where is that stinky kid Jiang Feng?"
