Chapter 464: Sure enough, not honest

No words all night.

The next day, as Jiang Feng opened his eyes, he caught a faint scent of porridge.

He got up, dressed, left the room, and followed the smell to the kitchen doorway.

Morning light streamed through the window, the pot on the stove steaming; Su Xueyan stood before the stove, spoon in hand, gently stirring the porridge.

She wore a simple white house robe, her hair casually draped over her shoulders, no makeup, yet she looked especially fresh and pretty.

This famed beauty CEO of Jiangnan now seemed like an ordinary wife, making breakfast for her beloved.

Jiang Feng stood in the doorway watching this scene, a warm feeling rising in his heart.

Su Xueyan seemed to sense something, turned her head, saw Jiang Feng standing in the doorway, and smiled.

"Awake? Breakfast will be ready soon—go sit and wait."

Jiang Feng grunted in acknowledgment, walked to the table, and sat down.

Soon after, Su Xueyan came out with two bowls of porridge, a plate of fried eggs, and several small dishes, setting them on the table.

"Eat up; we have things to do today."

Jiang Feng nodded, lifted his bowl, took a sip of porridge—just the right temperature, the porridge cooked soft, obviously simmered for a long time.

He lifted his gaze to Su Xueyan, seeing her looking at him with a hint of anticipation in her eyes.

"It's delicious."

Jiang Feng said.

Hearing that, Su Xueyan's face lit with a satisfied smile; she then lifted her own bowl and ate slowly.

Just as they finished breakfast, a car engine sounded outside the door.

It was Ma Jian walking in from outside, his expression somewhat strange.

"Jiang Ge, a few people have come outside."

Jiang Feng glanced at him lightly, then asked casually.

"Who?"

Ma Jian said.

"Zhao Xiong of the Zhao family of Jiangcheng, Li Kun of the Li family, and Wang Haitao of the Wang family. All three have come and are standing at the door."

Hearing this, Jiang Feng's brows furrowed slightly.

"All three together?"

Su Xueyan was also a little surprised, glancing at Jiang Feng.

Jiang Feng rose and walked outside, with Su Xueyan following behind.

When they reached the doorway, they indeed saw the three people standing outside the Su family villa.

The three stood there like children who had done something wrong, utterly humble.

Dew had soaked large patches on their shoulders, indicating they had been standing for a long time.

Seeing Jiang Feng and Su Xueyan come out, the three hurried forward to greet them.

Zhao Xiong wore a fawning smile and bowed deeply to Su Xueyan.

"Chairman Su, we have come today specifically to apologize."

Li Kun also bowed, his tone sincere.

"We were in the wrong toward the Su family before; now the Jiangcheng Chamber of Commerce lacks a leader, and we ask Miss Su to set aside past grievances and return to take charge."

Wang Haitao stood last, his expression more complex than the other two.

He looked at Jiang Feng, his eyes full of guilt, stepped forward two paces, his voice trembling slightly.

"Mr. Jiang, my life is still yours to have saved."

His tone carried deep self-reproach.

"But I did not help the Su family back then, fearing to offend the Jiangnan Prince. I know I was wrong; if Miss Su is willing to return to the Jiangcheng Chamber of Commerce, from now on the Three Great Families of Jiangcheng will be at the Su family's disposal!"

Jiang Feng looked at the three before him, his face showing no expression.

He fell silent for a moment, then gave a faint smile.

"Whether Xueyan wishes to return to the Jiangcheng Chamber of Commerce, I will not interfere."

His voice was not loud, his tone quite flat.

But immediately afterward, he shifted his tone, his eyes turning sharp.

"However, you must remember one thing."

The three's hearts tightened, and they quickly pricked up their ears.

Jiang Feng looked at them and spoke, word by word.

"From now on, the Su family is under my protection."

As soon as he said that, the three's faces turned deathly pale.

At this moment, they bore no trace of the dignity of the heads of Jiangcheng's Three Great Families; they were like three frightened quail, crouched on the ground and trembling.

They of course knew that even the Jiangnan Prince now had to obey Jiang Feng's orders.

"Who is the Jiangnan Prince?"

"He is an existence they cannot even hope to look up to."

"Even someone like that must listen to Jiang Feng—what are the three of them, then?"

"When Jiang Feng says he will protect the Su family, it means anyone who dares to move against the Su family is opposing Jiang Feng."

"The fate of opposing Jiang Feng is something they dare not even imagine."

Zhao Xiong was the first to react, falling to the ground and speaking repeatedly.

"Mr. Jiang, rest assured; from now on the Su family's affairs are our three families' affairs—whoever dares to touch a single hair of the Su family, I, Zhao Xiong, will be the first to object!"

Li Kun also followed and said.

Yes yes yes, Mr. Jiang, rest assured, we will definitely fully support the Su Family and dare not have any second thoughts!

Wang Haitao raised his head, looking at Jiang Feng, his voice hoarse.

"Mr. Jiang, this old man's life is owed to you; from now on, the Wang Family, top to bottom, will only follow Miss Su's lead."

The three of them lay prostrate on the ground, their posture extremely humble.

Su Xueyan stood aside, watching this scene, her heart a mix of emotions.

She knew Jiang Feng was strong now, but she didn't expect him to be this strong.

The heads of the Three Great Families, in Jiangcheng, are figures whose word is law.

But now they lay on the ground like three dogs, not daring to even breathe.

All of this is because of the man before them.

Su Xueyan turned her head and glanced at Jiang Feng, a feeling she couldn't describe welling up inside her.

Jiang Feng looked at the three people prostrate on the ground and said lightly.

"Alright, get up. What do you look like at the main gate?"

The three of them, as if granted a pardon, hurriedly crawled up from the ground, but their waists remained bent, not daring to straighten.

Su Xueyan took a deep breath, adopting the demeanor of a female CEO, and said lightly to the three.

"Please go back first, gentlemen. I will attend the Chamber of Commerce's affairs today."

Her voice wasn't loud, but her tone was very calm, exuding an indisputable air.

Zhao Xiong quickly nodded.

"Good good good, then we'll await Su Chairman's arrival at the Chamber of Commerce."

Li Kun also followed and said.

"Su Chairman, rest assured, everything is arranged; we're just waiting for you to go."

Wang Haitao said nothing, merely bowing deeply to Su Xueyan.

The three of them then bowed to Jiang Feng, turned, and got into that Rolls-Royce.

The car started up and slowly drove away from the Su Family Villa.

The car window rolled down, Zhao Xiong poked his head out and shouted to Su Xueyan.

"Su Chairman, ten o'clock, we'll be waiting for you!"

Su Xueyan nodded, saying nothing.

The car quickly disappeared at the end of the street.

Su Xueyan withdrew her gaze, turned her head to look at Jiang Feng, and smiled.

"Those few words you just said scared them quite a bit."

Jiang Feng said lightly.

"It's not to scare them, it's to let them hear. Some people, if you don't give them a little color to see, they'll never know their limits."

Su Xueyan hummed, not saying anything more.

The two turned and walked back.

Just as they reached the courtyard, Ma Jian hurried in from outside, his face showing some excitement.

"Jiang Ge, you really guessed right—that Duan Zhang kid is indeed dishonest!"

Jiang Feng glanced at him.

"What's up?"

Ma Jian lowered his voice and said:

"Jiang Ge, I've been watching that Duan Zhang kid all night; he seems to have made a move today."

Jiang Feng's eyes narrowed, and he stopped in his tracks.
