Chapter 166: Jiang Feng, You're Doomed!

~7 min read 1,337 words

The discussion in the Banquet Hall burst like an exploding pot, and everyone's eyes were filled with naked envy.

"My god, this is a project worth hundreds of billions! It's just an apology; if it were me, I'd gladly kowtow three times on the spot!"

"Jiang Feng is just too lucky, isn't he? He can even catch a chance that falls from the sky; just lower his head, and the Su Family will skyrocket!"

"Su Xueyan really hit the jackpot, but her mind seems a bit dull; why hesitate over such a great opportunity?"

Jiang Gang rubbed his hands together, his face piled with a flattering smile, and hurried over to Jiang Feng's side.

"Brother Jiang, listen to my advice! A true man can bend and stretch; apologizing doesn't lose a piece of flesh! Young Master Hongjie just wants face; give him enough respect, the Su Family will share the glory, this deal is a sure profit!"

As long as the Su Family partners with the Duanmu Family, he might also get a share, and then the Jiang Group can rise another level.

Lei Yan stood aside, arms crossed, her tone thick with sarcasm.

"Jiang Feng, don't be foolish! Once this village passes, there's no such shop; countless people bust their heads trying to ingratiate with the Duanmu Family never get a chance! It's not easy for Su Xueyan to follow you; can't you think of her, think of the Su Family? Insisting on clinging to that worthless pride!"

She deliberately steered the topic toward Su Xueyan, hoping to make Jiang Feng feel guilty and force him to lower his head.

But before Jiang Feng could speak, Su Xueyan suddenly clenched his hand tightly and abruptly stood up.

"Young Master Hongjie, thank you for your kindness, but the Su Family won't take this money. Jiang Feng is my fiancé; I can't let him endure this humiliation. Let's go."

After speaking, she grabbed Jiang Feng's hand, turned, and headed toward the Banquet Hall entrance.

"What? Really leaving?"

"Is Su Xueyan stupid? Giving up hundreds of billions of wealth to suffer with a poor Doctor?"

"Crazy, crazy, these two are a pair of lunatics! When they regret it later!"

The crowd erupted, pointing at the two's backs while commenting, their eyes full of bewilderment and mockery.

Jiang Gang, anxious, stamped his foot and hurried to catch up and block.

"Xue Yan, Brother Jiang, wait! Don't act impulsively! Think it over! If the Su Family misses this chance, they'll never have such luck again!"

Lei Yan laughed uproariously, clutching her belly in mockery.

"Su Xueyan, you're naively laughable! Thinking this is having hard-spiritedness? I call you stupid! When the Su Family goes bankrupt, see how hard-spirited you still are!"

Duanmu Hongjie's smile froze instantly; he hadn't expected Su Xueyan to actually dare to publicly insult him!

A wave of anger surged to his head, and he roared at the two's backs.

"Su Xueyan! Jiang Feng! You dare step out of this door and try! I'm telling you, if you dare leave today, I will immediately cause the Su Family to go completely bankrupt in Jiangcheng! Leaving you with nothing!"

Those words fell like a bucket of cold water, and the Banquet Hall fell silent instantly.

Jiang Gang's eyebrows lifted with delight, and he quickly pretended to advise earnestly.

"Xue Yan, you heard, right? Young Master Hongjie keeps his word! If the Su Family goes bankrupt, how will your whole family eat and drink? Come back quickly, apologize to Young Master Hongjie, and this will be over!"

Lei Yan also fanned the flames.

"Exactly! Su Xueyan, don't drag the entire Su Family into this! For your fleeting pride, making the whole family a sacrifice—can you bear that responsibility?"

Su Xueyan's steps halted, her fingers tightened slightly, and a hint of hesitation appeared on her face.

The Su Family is her grandfather's life's work; it must never be ruined by her hands.

Jiang Feng sensed her hesitation and gently patted the back of her hand.

"Don't be afraid; with me here, no one can bankrupt the Su Family."

After speaking, he slowly turned, his gaze darkening as he stared straight at Duanmu Hongjie.

"Are you sure you want the Su Family to go bankrupt?"

Duanmu Hongjie saw him pause, thought he was scared, and immediately wore a smug smile.

"What? Now you're scared? Too late! Kneel and apologize, then let Su Xueyan have a few drinks with me, and I'll treat what just happened as if it never occurred; the Su Family will not only be saved, but also join my project."

"Kneel and apologize?"

Jiang Feng's mouth curled into a mocking smile.

"You think you're worthy?"

He stepped forward, his aura suddenly dispersing, causing those nearby to instinctively retreat half a step.

"Who do you think you are? How dare you threaten the Su Family?"

Jiang Feng's voice wasn't loud, yet it rang clearly in everyone's ears.

"I'm telling you, the project you call yours is worthless to me. As soon as I speak, not only will I let the Su Family join, but even if the Duanmu Family were to hand over the project with both hands, rushing to give it to the Su Family, they must obey!"

Hahaha!

"Is this kid crazy? Saying such nonsense!"

"Let the Duanmu Family hand over the project? Does he think he's Duanmu Ya himself?"

Just as Jiang Feng finished speaking, the Banquet Hall erupted in uproarious laughter.

Everyone thought he had gone mad from fright and began babbling.

Jiang Gang laughed, holding his belly.

"Jiang Feng, you really can brag! I think you don't know the Duanmu Family's strength; you're daydreaming here!"

Lei Yan laughed so hard she could barely stand.

"Jiang Feng, I advise you to wake up! Stop making a fool of yourself here! If you truly had that ability, would you still run a small Medical Hall to pass the days? You would have become a billionaire long ago!"

A few classmates close to Jiang Gang also joined the uproar.

"I think he's dying for face and suffering; clearly scared, yet still putting on airs here!"

"If he doesn't apologize today, the Su Family is definitely doomed; let's see how he ends!"

Duanmu Hongjie laughed so hard tears were about to spill, pointing at Jiang Feng.

"Jiang Feng, you are the biggest braggart I've ever seen! You've opened my eyes today! If you can get my aunt to hand over the project with both hands, I will kneel and kowtow three resounding bows for you! What a pity, you're just a waste who only tells tall tales!"

Jiang Feng looked at their mocking faces and gave a faint smile.

"If you don't believe it, you can wait and see."

"Waiting to watch? I think you're waiting for the Su Family to go bankrupt!"

Duanmu Hongjie restrained his smile, and his eyes turned sinister.

"I'll give you one final chance: kneel and apologize now, or bear the Consequence yourself!"

At that moment, the Banquet Hall's main doors were pushed open from Outside, and a hoarse yet powerful voice rang in.

"Excuse me, which one is Young Master Hongjie?"

Everyone looked toward the voice, and saw an elderly man with graying hair wearing a gray Zhongshan suit standing at the doorway.

An aura of unspoken authority radiated from him; it was Jian Tui Zhi, who had been ordered to come.

Duanmu Hongjie saw the elder, and his eyes instantly lit up, his face bursting into an ecstatic smile.

He knew that the expert sent by his aunt had arrived!

He pointed at Jiang Feng and shouted loudly at the elder.

"Jian Tui Zhi! I'm here! It's this kid! He bullied me and even attacked my men; you quickly help me punish him!"

"Jian Tui Zhi is a Grandmaster‑level expert; a single hand can deal with Jiang Feng, this waste!"

He turned his head toward Jiang Feng, and the ecstatic grin on his face turned into a snarling smile.

"Jiang Feng, you're doomed."
