Chapter 1010: The Fox’s Tail!
As soon as Jin Shixiang said this, even someone with the slowest mind could tell something was off!
In a situation where everyone else had left, he specifically asked Jiang Feng to stay behind. Wasn't this intentionally giving Jiang Feng the cold shoulder?
Could it be that he had to bring his grudge with Jiang Feng out into the open?
Nangong Qingcheng's expression turned cold instantly, and she looked at Jin Shixiang with indifference.
Nangong Honghu also furrowed his brow, looking gloomy.
Jiang Feng himself remained unperturbed, smiling playfully.
During the whole meal, he had already noticed Jin Shixiang's constant little tricks; was he finally about to reveal his true intentions?
"Jin Shixiang, what do you mean by this, asking everyone else to leave but having Jiang Feng stay?" Nangong Qingcheng was indignant, speaking angrily.
"That's not what I meant. I just noticed he didn't eat much earlier, and I felt sorry for him. Letting him eat a bit more isn't wrong, right?" Jin Shixiang, feeling guilty, gave a sheepish smile.
"Nangong Qingcheng, do you really need to protect your husband that much?"
Nangong Yan stood up sharply, intentionally smirking, "You can't bear to be apart from him even for a moment? Haha, I didn't expect you two to be so inseparable! However, tonight is my engagement party, and I call the shots! Allowing him to come was already giving him face, but I don't want him around when discussing serious matters next, it spoils my appetite!"
"Nangong Yan, you!"
Nangong Qingcheng was furious again; were these two beyond salvation? Jiang Feng had already promised to save them face tonight, yet they insisted on making trouble?
Just as Nangong Qingcheng, filled with righteous indignation, was about to say something, Jiang Feng remained seated without moving, gently squeezed her hand, and smiled, "It's alright, Qingcheng, I know you mean well. It's okay, go with them, I'll sit here on my own, it's unrelated to me anyway."
"Hmph, at least you understand!" Nangong Yan snorted coldly, full of disdain.
Jin Shixiang secretly breathed a sigh of relief. It's better that Jiang Feng "understands", so he can spare some brainpower.
"But..." Nangong Qingcheng was very reluctant.
"Go ahead." Jiang Feng gave Nangong Qingcheng a reassuring look, his smile calm as ever.
"Nangong Qingcheng, what are you babbling about? He's told you to go, the matters of the Nangong Family really don't need an outsider to get involved." Wu Peixia said coldly.
"Mom, Jiang Feng is not an outsider, he's your son-in-law!" Nangong Qingcheng argued reasonably.
"That depends on whether I acknowledge him or not!" Wu Peixia said expressionlessly.
"That's enough! Stop talking. Do you really want our in-laws to laugh at our family?" Nangong Honghu said angrily, "You all go ahead, I'll sit with Xiao Feng for a while."
Nangong Yan was startled, quickly saying, "Grandpa, how can you not go? You're the head of the family, you must be present. Shixiang and I are counting on you to make decisions!"
"Indeed! Grandpa Nangong, you can't be this biased..." Jin Shixiang quickly chimed in.
What a joke! In a while, when Young Master Jian's people come to claim Jiang Feng's life, Nangong Honghu staying here would be an obstruction.
With these two singing in harmony, Nangong Honghu couldn't maintain Jiang Feng's interests, feeling quite agitated.
He just couldn't understand, were these children genuinely his, or were they taught to look down on others?
With no choice, he could only glance at Jiang Feng, feeling helpless.
Jiang Feng still smiled calmly, "Old Man, you go ahead, don't worry about me."
Nangong Honghu heaved a sigh and shook his head, reluctantly walking out in anger.
Nangong Qingcheng, full of resentment, couldn't override Jiang Feng's temperament and reluctantly followed the family out.
Before leaving, Jin Shixiang and Nangong Yan both glanced at Jiang Feng with disdain.
They knew this was the last glance!
...
A few minutes later, after the two families had left for a while, Jiang Feng stretched lazily, lit a cigarette, and strolled outside with leisurely steps.
The direction he took was naturally not the so-called lotus pond but the open parking lot in front of the farmhouse.
Unexpectedly, even the owner and waiters of this farmhouse were intentionally cleared out by Jin Shixiang, it seemed he really had ulterior motives tonight.
Jiang Feng leaned under a small poplar tree, idly finished smoking, stubbed out the cigarette butt under his foot, then smiled faintly at the air in front, "Since you've come, don't hide, come out!"
As soon as he finished speaking, two elderly men in simple clothes with gray cloth shoes stepped out; it was none other than Heavenly Deaf and Earthly Mute!
"Good kid, you do have some skill, to be able to sense our arrival even when we intentionally concealed our presence, for this alone, Luu Fengxian's death at your hands is not unjust!"
Di Ya's hoarse and ancient voice came from underground, sounding particularly eerie.
Jiang Feng remained calm, smiling, "You know Luu Fengxian, it seems you have no connection with Tianji Pavilion and are sent by the Dugu Family? Where is Dugu Jian, why won't he show himself?"
As he was speaking, Jiang Feng slightly turned his head, deliberately looking towards a distant hidden Bugatti Veyron Grand Sport, which was Dugu Jian's exclusive vehicle!
At the same time, Dugu Jian, who was hiding in the car and hadn't dared to come out, sensed that he was locked onto by Jiang Feng's gaze, immediately shrank back, breaking into a cold sweat!
Though he hated Jiang Feng to the core, wishing to tear him apart,
With Luu Fengxian's death as a precedent, he dared not confront Jiang Feng face to face; anyway, Heavenly Deaf and Earthly Mute were confident they could kill Jiang Feng. He would just come to collect Jiang Feng's corpse afterward.
"Young man, you talk a lot, do you think you can remain unscathed after offending the Dugu Family? You're gravely mistaken!"
Heavenly Deaf sneered, "Now, my brother and I are here to take your head, to show all those in Jiangdong who dare defy the Dugu Family that the Dugu Family is still the same Dugu Family, intolerant of any defiance!"
"Are you done talking?"
Jiang Feng smiled faintly, "Then save some time, bring it on! I also want to see if the Dugu Family has really run out of options, sending two worthless men like you to spoil my mood!"
