Chapter 290: Changeover

After leaving the Xia Family, Duanmu Ya personally drove Jiang Feng back to Ji Shi Tang.

Jiang Feng entered Ji Shi Tang, looked up, and saw a familiar figure sitting behind the cash register—it was Su Xueyan.

Seeming to notice someone entering, Su Xueyan lifted her head, and when she saw the newcomer was Jiang Feng, her eyes flashed instantly.

"Jiang Feng, you're back."

Her voice was soft, carrying a barely perceptible excitement, yet maintaining just the right amount of poise.

Jiang Feng looked at the smile in her eyes, and a warm current surged in his heart.

These past weeks he had been busy with the Wu Zun Ruins and the Xia Family affairs, truly neglecting her.

"Xue Yan, why are you here?"

"There's nothing urgent at the company, so I came over to take a look."

Su Xueyan lowered her head, gently sorting the bills in her hand, her voice a little embarrassed.

"And... I wanted to see if you had returned."

At that moment, a crisp voice came from inside.

"Brother Jiang Feng! You finally came back!"

Hua Yingying hurried out from inside, but when she reached Jiang Feng, she deliberately wore a stern face.

"Brother Jiang Feng, you're really overstepping! You're about to marry Sister Xue Yan, yet you stay away for so long, leaving Sister Xue Yan alone in Jiangcheng. Do you even have her in your heart?"

"Lately all the wedding preparations have been handled solely by Sister Xue Yan! And you, you turned into a hands‑off shopkeeper, not even a shadow of yourself to be seen!"

"Also, besides handling the company's affairs and the wedding, Sister Xue Yan comes to Ji Shi Tang every day to see if you've returned. Brother Jiang Feng, tell me, can you live up to Sister Xue Yan?"

Hua Yingying's words came like a rapid‑fire barrage, each one striking Jiang Feng's heart.

Jiang Feng listened, feeling a wave of guilt.

At that thought, Jiang Feng took a deep breath, walked up to Su Xueyan, and gently clasped her hand.

Before Jiang Feng could speak, Su Xueyan's face showed a faint, gentle smile.

"It's fine; you're the one handling great matters, leave these small things to me."

Her understanding and tolerance made Jiang Feng feel even more guilty.

He held Su Xueyan's hand tightly.

"It won't happen again; no matter how busy I am, I'll carve out time to be with you."

A faint blush spread across Su Xueyan's face.

"Alright, stop talking about that. Since you've just returned, there's something I want to tell you."

"Tonight the Jiangcheng Chamber of Commerce will hold a change‑over gala."

Su Xueyan let out a soft sigh.

"Grandfather... might be replaced at this change‑over gala."

"The Zhao Family and Li Family have been gaining momentum lately, especially Zhao Xiong, who has secured support from the Ma Family of the Provincial Capital. He is very likely to replace Grandfather and become the new Chamber of Commerce President."

Hearing that, Jiang Feng was not surprised.

Earlier, because of the Xuan Nuan Jade Marrow incident, he sensed the Su Family being targeted by other families in the Jiangcheng Chamber of Commerce; now the transition gives those people ample excuse to strike.

"Grandfather said that even if the Su Family loses, we must lose honorably. So we have to attend tonight's change‑over gala. Jiang Feng, can you accompany me? As the Su Family son‑in‑law."

Hearing that, Jiang Feng did not hesitate.

"Alright, I'll go with you tonight. And I promise the Su Family won't lose."

His tone was flat, yet it instantly reassured Su Xueyan considerably.

Afterwards, Su Xueyan took Jiang Feng to Jiangcheng's best styling studio.

Dressed in a suit, Jiang Feng shed his usual casualness and gained a few degrees of composure.

Su Xueyan also changed into a light‑purple evening gown, outlining her graceful figure, with delicate makeup, looking noble and elegant.

7 p. m., Jiangcheng International Hotel.

The hotel entrance glittered with lights, luxury cars gathered, fragrant attire and swaying hair, a bustling scene.

Almost every prominent figure in Jiangcheng arrived, each dressed splendidly, chatting and laughing, exchanging greetings; the atmosphere was very lively.

Few parking spots remained at the entrance, but there was one empty spot directly opposite the main gate, so Su Xueyan prepared to park there.

She just turned the steering wheel, and the car slowly headed toward the spot, when a fire‑red Ferrari supercar suddenly shot in like an arrow from the side.

A screeching, grating brake sound rang out; the Ferrari halted directly in front of the BMW, blocking the way.

The harsh brake noise attracted everyone's gaze; they all turned to look, eyes full of curiosity.

The Ferrari's door opened, and a young man in a flashy branded suit stepped out.

It wasn't anyone else—it was Zhao Qianrui, the young master of the Zhao Family.

He took off his sunglasses, revealing slanted eyes, and first gave Su Xueyan a lecherous glance.

Then his gaze fell on Jiang Feng in the passenger seat, a thick smirk of mockery curling his mouth.

He sauntered over to the BMW, hands in his pockets, and, from his height, knocked on the car window.

Su Xueyan rolled down the window, and upon seeing Zhao Qianrui, her complexion instantly darkened.

"Zhao Qianrui, what do you want?"

"Miss Su, long time no see."

Zhao Qianrui forced a smile, his tone full of flippancy.

"Sorry, your parking skill is a bit poor, huh? This huge spot, you keep fumbling and can't get in; how about I go first?"

He said that while deliberately pointing at his Ferrari, a smug grin on his face.

"Look at my car, its performance is superb; parking it is just a tap of the accelerator."

Those around, hearing this, couldn't help whispering among themselves.

Isn't this Zhao Qianrui, the Zhao Family's young master? He's deliberately picking a fight again.

Anyone with eyes can see it, he's deliberately blocking Miss Su's Path, looking for trouble.

Who made the Su Family weak now, when the Zhao Family has the Provincial Capital's Ma Family backing them, Zhao Qianrui naturally feels emboldened and fearless.

Su Xueyan's chest rose and fell slightly with Anger.

She endured Anger and said, "I saw this parking spot first, on what basis do you seize it?"

On what basis?

Zhao Qianrui seemed to have heard a joke of cosmic Laughter, and burst into Laughter.

Just because my car is more expensive than yours! Miss Su, if you're sensible, quickly move your car, don't delay my parking, otherwise, don't blame me for being impolite!

His words were full of Provocative Smile, and he gave Su Xueyan and Jiang Feng no regard at all.

Su Xueyan wanted to say something else, but Jiang Feng patted her hand, signaling her to stay silent.

Jiang Feng pushed open the car door, got out, and said to Su Xueyan.

Xue Yan, you get out, I'll drive.

Su Xueyan was stunned for a moment, then understood Jiang Feng's meaning, nodded, pushed open the car door and stood aside.

Zhao Qianrui saw Jiang Feng change position, and the mocking look on his face grew stronger.

What? Changing the driver, what difference does it make? Kid, I'm telling you, this parking spot I, Zhao Qianrui, am claiming today! Even if you bring ten drivers, don't think you can park your car in it!

Jiang Feng ignored Zhao Qianrui's mockery, sat in the driver seat, and fastened the Safety belt.

His finger lightly rested on the steering wheel, his gaze calm.

Zhao Qianrui saw Jiang Feng remain silent, thought he was scared, and became even more overbearing.

What's wrong? Not daring? If you're not daring, hurry and get lost! Don't make a spectacle of yourself here!

Jiang Feng still said nothing, and his Right Foot slammed the accelerator!

Vroom!

The BMW car's engine emitted a deafening roar, and the body, like an arrow released from a bow, surged forward!

Bang!

A huge crash!

The BMW's front smashed hard into the Ferrari's rear!
