Chapter 2: A Meeting with Mr. Jiang!
Su Xueyan pointedly repeated Jiang Feng's words, even mentioning the matter of consolidating the treatment three days later.
Su Ruiqing stroked his chin, his eyes lit up.
"Oh my! To see through your illness at a glance and heal you, this kid is no pond‑dweller!"
"Xue Yan, come with me to the Ye Family right now and thank them properly. Perhaps this is the Su Family's opportunity!"
Su Xueyan watched his grandfather's excitement and couldn't help rolling his eyes.
But inside, he recalled Jiang Feng's focused gaze while applying the medicine, and his mouth twitched up inexplicably.
At this moment, Jiang Feng had already arrived in front of the Ye Family villa.
The villa's main gate was an ornate iron door, and the courtyard was planted with Luohan pines taller than a person.
Two imported luxury cars were parked at the entrance, clearly indicating a wealthy household.
"Tsk tsk, looks like the Ye Family has been thriving these years, not letting my Master go unrewarded."
Back then, when Ye Zhonghai was gravely ill, Jiang Feng's Master Xuan Yuan Zhenren roamed to Jiangcheng and stepped in to save him.
To thank Jiang Feng's Master, Ye Zhonghai decided to betroth his daughter Ye Xiaoyue to Jiang Feng, which is also Jiang Feng's main purpose for descending the mountain this time.
He lifted his hand, pressed the doorbell, and a lively female voice soon came from Inside.
"Zhao Shao, you finally made it; our family's Xiaoyue has been waiting for you…"
The door opened, and a middle‑aged woman in a sequined dress with a chunky gold necklace stuck her head out, her face plastered with a flattering smile.
But when she saw that it was Jiang Feng standing at the doorway, her smile collapsed instantly.
The woman was none other than Ye Xiaoyue's mother, Xie Fang.
"Kid, who are you? Dressed so shabby, did you walk into the wrong house?"
Xie Fang sized Jiang Feng up from head to toe, her disdain obvious in her eyes.
Jiang Feng wore a faded coarse‑cloth jacket, his trousers had a small patch at the knee, and the cloth sack on his back was frayed to the point of fuzz, starkly out of place in this luxurious villa.
Jiang Feng, with a respectful attitude, smiled and said,
"Good afternoon, Auntie, I am Jiang Feng, here to see Xiaoyue."
"Jiang Feng?"
Xie Fang frowned, thought for a while, still couldn't place the person, and impatiently shouted into the house.
"Xiaoyue! Xiaoyue! Come out a moment, someone is looking for you!"
Soon, a graceful figure stepped out from Inside.
Ye Xiaoyue wore a new designer dress, her face adorned with delicate makeup, she carried a limited‑edition luxury bag, her hair styled in the trendy big waves, clearly dressed up for a date.
When she saw Jiang Feng, she was first stunned, her eyes full of confusion.
"Who are you? What do you want with me?"
Jiang Feng pulled a yellowed paper and a warm white Jade Pendant tied with a red string from his sack, handed them over and said,
"Xiaoyue, I am Jiang Feng, a Disciple of Xuan Yuan Zhenren, here to fulfill the marriage contract; your Ye Family should still recall this, right?"
The moment those words left his mouth, Xie Fang's complexion changed instantly, and Ye Xiaoyue froze, nearly dropping the bag.
Ye Xiaoyue, of course, had heard about her father's past.
When she was young, her father always told her that if a Living Immortal hadn't saved him back then, the Ye Family wouldn't exist now.
She had also seen a Jade Pendant similar to Jiang Feng's in her father's study, which he said was a token left by a benefactor.
But over the years the Ye Family grew richer, and her mother constantly whispered that she should marry into a wealthy clan; she had long cast those thoughts aside.
Not to mention Jiang Feng's ragged attire now, a world apart from the affluent son‑in‑law she imagined.
Xie Fang was the first to react, snatching the Marriage Letter from Jiang Feng's hand and tearing it to pieces without even looking, scattering paper scraps everywhere.
"What nonsense are you spouting! Back then that old Taoist saved a life with a wave of his hand, and you dare bring up a marriage contract? I think you're a fraud trying to scam the Ye Family!"
Jiang Feng's smile vanished instantly; he also saw that Xie Fang had no intention of acknowledging it.
"Auntie, the Marriage Letter was handwritten by Uncle Ye, and the Jade Pendant is also a token left by my Master; there should be another one in your study, you can check."
Jiang Feng patiently explained.
"Stop looking!" Xie Fang flung the shredded paper at Jiang Feng.
"Even if there is one, what of it? Back then our Ye Family was poor, we only gave you a face! Now our Xiaoyue is to marry the Eldest Son of the Zhao Family, one of the Four Great Families of Jiangcheng; what are you? Unfit to bring up a marriage contract with her?"
Ye Xiaoyue clenched the bag in her hand, feeling a bit insecure inside, yet still looking at Jiang Feng's destitute appearance.
Thinking of Zhao Shao's usual generosity toward her, she lifted her head, full of sarcasm.
"Right, you leave at once! I don't know you at all, nor any marriage contract! I'm Zhao Shao's girlfriend now; don't ruin my reputation here and delay my marriage into a wealthy family!"
She paused, then cast a disgusted glance at Jiang Feng.
"You dress like a beggar and still want to marry me? That's a toad dreaming of swan meat! I'm telling you, even if every man in Jiangcheng died, I still wouldn't marry you!"
Xie Fang, seeing her daughter on her side, grew even more smug, pulling a bank card from the bag and tossing it at Jiang Feng's feet.
"It contains five thousand yuan, enough for your round‑trip fare! Take the money and get out, don't let me see you again, or I'll have security throw you out!"
Seeing her daughter about to marry into a wealthy clan, she couldn't let this worthless Jiang Feng tarnish her daughter's reputation.
"Heh, so that's how it is."
Jiang Feng saw through the mother and daughter's true colors completely, his expression icy as he said,
"You Ye Family are, in my eyes, nothing but country chickens and tile dogs; if not for the marriage contract, you'd see me like a tiny beetle sees the blue sky!"
"How dare you!"
Xie Fang roared in extreme anger: "Jiang Feng, can't you see what you are! My Ye Family's assets exceed a hundred million, and you, a mere stray, cannot insult us! Guards!"
At that moment, several security guards from nearby complexes immediately surrounded them, faces full of flattery.
"Ms. Xie, is there anything you need assistance with?"
Xie Fang gestured imperiously at Chen Feng: "This kid trespassed our Ye Family; you get him out!"
"Alright!"
Two security guards instantly stepped forward, ready to hold Jiang Feng down.
Jiang Feng's eyes flashed with a hint of cold light.
At that moment, not far away, a rumbling sound rang out.
Over a dozen luxury cars roared in, stopping directly in front of Jiang Feng.
Immediately after, an old man and a young man got out of the car.
"Th... this is Su Lao of the Su Family!"
"Heavens! The Su Lao of Jiangcheng's First Prominent Family has descended upon our Ye Family, daughter! Our Ye Family has become prosperous!"
Xie Fang, seeing Su Ruiqing appear, was so excited that she couldn't speak smoothly.
"Beside Su Lao is our Jiangcheng's First Beauty Su Xueyan? Heavens! She is truly beautiful."
Ye Xiaoyue was also extremely excited at this moment.
Among Jiangcheng's younger generation, who doesn't know Su Xueyan? She is the goddess in the eyes of all the city's talented youths!
Even Ye Xiaoyue, who thinks highly of herself, feels ashamed before Su Xueyan.
The mother and daughter hurried forward to greet them, smiling more obsequiously than those security guards.
"Su Lao, why have you descended upon our Ye Family!"
Su Xueyan ignored the two and instead pointed at Jiang Feng.
"Grandpa, the person who was on the car just now is him."
Su Ruiqing, seeing Jiang Feng standing with Xie Fang and her mother, was momentarily unsure of the relationship between them.
"Madam Ye, do you know what relation this young brother has with your Ye Family?"
Su Ruiqing did not dare to be careless, and his attitude toward Xie Fang was exceedingly friendly.
Xie Fang, hearing this, immediately thought Su Lao was displeased by Jiang Feng's shabby appearance, and quickly tried to distance herself.
"Su Lao, this is just a scammer coming to swindle, and has not a single cent of relation with our Ye Family."
"What are you guys eating, and why don't you quickly throw this guy out! So his poor stench won't reach Su Lao!"
At these words, Su Ruiqing's complexion immediately darkened.
Ye Xiaoyue, thinking Su Ruiqing was angry, screamed in panic.
"Jiang Feng, get out right now! If because of you we offend Su Lao, killing you wouldn't even be enough compensation!"
"Outrageous!"
Su Ruiqing roared, then quickly stepped in front of Jiang Feng, his body slightly bowed, speaking with utmost respect.
"Old brother Su Ruiqing, specially came to pay respects to Mr. Jiang."
Boom!
Seeing this scene, Xie Fang and her mother were completely stunned.
The dignified Master of the Su Family, of Jiangcheng's First Prominent Family, actually shows such respect to a wild kid?
What made them drop their jaws even more was that, faced with Su Lao's respect, Jiang Feng lazily said a single line.
"Who are you?"
