Chapter 113: The Gu Clan Family Banquet
"My goal is very simple: it is you, Ye Feng, joining my Sakura Valley!"
Sakurai Chixue smiled charmingly, as if she were about to captivate one's soul.
Hearing this, Ye Feng let out a cold snort, his tone carrying a hint of mockery: "Join your Sakura Valley?"
"Don't think I don't know that my father's sect was destroyed by your Sakura Valley!"
"Asking me to join Sakura Valley, how is that any different from a sheep entering a wolf's den?"
Hearing this, Sakurai Chixue raised her eyebrows, clearly not expecting Ye Feng to refuse for this reason.
She chuckled, her tone carrying a hint of playfulness: "Those are all things of the past; as long as you join Sakura Valley, not only can you obtain vast cultivation resources, but your father will also regain his freedom because of it!"
Ye Feng sneered and flatly refused: "There is no room for negotiation; it is impossible for me to join Sakura Valley!"
Seeing that Ye Feng still refused to join, Sakurai Chixue shook her head helplessly, then turned her gaze to Gu Ran, her tone carrying a hint of temptation: "If you won't join, that's fine, but surely letting your little girlfriend join is acceptable?"
"Her Cold Yin Divine Body can only be fully developed in Sakura Valley!"
"For her, this is a heaven-sent opportunity!"
Hearing this, Ye Feng's expression turned cold instantly, his tone carrying a hint of anger: "Don't even think about it!"
Gu Ran, leaning behind Ye Feng, also looked at her coldly and said: "It is impossible for me to join your Sakura Valley!"
"If there is nothing else, please leave!"
Seeing the two of them were firm in their stance, Sakurai Chixue smiled helplessly.
Subsequently, her figure gradually became illusory and finally transformed into a cluster of cherry blossoms, disappearing from the living room.
Only a faint sentence remained, echoing in the air: "Think it over carefully; for you, this is a heaven-sent opportunity!"
Seeing Sakurai Chixue disappear, Gu Ran turned to look at Ye Feng, her tone carrying a hint of confusion: "Ye Feng, what exactly is going on?"
Ye Feng shook his head and said with a grave expression: "In the future, if you encounter these people, stay away from them. Sakura Valley is no pushover, and their goal is definitely not that simple!"
Hearing this, Gu Ran nodded, then thought of something and comforted him: "Ye Feng, since Auntie was taken away by her brother, there certainly won't be any danger, so don't worry anymore!"
Ye Feng frowned; although that was true, he always had a bad premonition in his heart.
According to the story his mother told him, the Shen Family and his father had an irreconcilable feud!
Now that his father had been locked up by them, would they really let him go easily?
But, since his mother had returned to the Shen Family, she should be able to protect his father!
Seeing Ye Feng still looking worried, Gu Ran gently tugged on his arm, her tone carrying a hint of coquettishness: "Ye Feng, I'm a bit hungry. Can you accompany me out for a meal? My treat!"
"You can rest assured that Uncle and Auntie will definitely be fine!"
"After we finish eating, I'll send someone to help you look into this Shen Family!"
Looking at Gu Ran's expectant eyes, Ye Feng's heart softened.
He smiled helplessly and said: "Alright, let's go eat!"
Gu Ran was right; since the matter was already a foregone conclusion, why should he keep dwelling on it?
Once his strength was sufficient, he would just go to the Shen Family and take his father and mother back!
Afterward, the two walked out of the dilapidated residential complex, found a random restaurant, and ordered a few dishes for their lunch that day.
Just as they were halfway through their meal, Gu Ran's phone suddenly rang.
She picked up the phone and saw it was her father calling, so she frowned immediately and hung up the call directly.
However, just after hanging up, the phone rang again.
Ye Feng glanced at her, his tone carrying a hint of persuasion: "You should answer it; what if there's an emergency?"
Seeing this, Gu Ran reluctantly answered the call. As soon as it connected, she heard her father's stern voice: "There is a family banquet tonight; you must attend, otherwise, you can forget about sitting in the president's chair!"
Hearing this, Gu Ran's expression instantly turned ugly, her tone carrying a hint of dissatisfaction: "Dad, what do you mean by this?"
"The president's position was handed to me by Grandpa himself; by what right do you say you'll remove me just like that!"
Gu Father on the other end of the line sneered, his tone carrying a hint of indisputability: "Gu Ran, don't forget, I am still the one who calls the shots at Gu Group!"
"You must attend tonight's family banquet, otherwise, bear the consequences yourself!"
Having said that, Gu Father hung up the phone directly.
Gu Ran clutched her phone, her expression becoming unusually gloomy.
Ye Feng looked at her and asked softly: "What's wrong? What happened?"
Gu Ran took a deep breath and said helplessly: "My dad wants me to attend a family banquet tonight and said if I don't go, he'll remove me from the president's position!"
Ye Feng frowned, his tone carrying a hint of concern: "Then what do you plan to do?"
Gu Ran was silent for a moment, then looked up and said firmly: "I'll go!"
"I want to see exactly what they are trying to do!"
Ye Feng nodded and smiled lightly: "Alright, I'll go with you!"
"By the way, do I need to prepare anything for attending the family banquet?"
Gu Ran shook her head, then looked him up and down, and said with a smile: "No need to prepare anything special, but... you should dress more formally. I'll take you to buy a few outfits in a moment."
Hearing this, Ye Feng looked down at his simple attire.
A plain T-shirt and a pair of jeans.
Hmm... it was indeed a bit casual; time for a change!
Since it was decided, after eating, the two headed straight for the largest shopping mall in Tianhai City!
After parking the car, the two walked into the mall. Gu Ran took Ye Feng to a high-end men's clothing store, picked out a black suit, and handed it to Ye Feng: "Go try this one on."
Ye Feng took the suit and walked into the fitting room.
A few minutes later, he came out after changing his clothes.
Looking at Ye Feng in the suit, a flash of amazement crossed Gu Ran's eyes.
Clothes make the man; Ye Feng already had a tall and straight figure, and after putting on the well-tailored black suit, he appeared even more mature and steady.
She could not help but exclaim: "Ye Feng, you look like a completely different person in this outfit; you are truly too handsome!"
Hearing Gu Ran praise him, Ye Feng smiled and teased: "That's for sure!"
"Of course, it's because my Ran Baobao has a good eye!"
Gu Ran rolled her eyes at him: "Stop with the glib talk, let's go quickly, the family banquet is about to start!"
