Chapter 890 890: I've Got My Eye on You!
"Xi Yue, do you know him?"
The driver, Chu Feifei, noticed that Baili Xiyue was looking at the man with a peculiar expression, showing annoyance, and curiously asked.
"I know him! He has a notable family connection with mine, and he's one of my suitors."
Baili Xiyue hesitated for a moment but ended up giving a simple explanation without revealing her and Dugu Jian's family background.
"Hmm."
At this point, Nangong Qingcheng and the other two women had understood that the man was actually a suitor of Baili Xiyue, but it seemed Baili Xiyue didn't like him.
They had all experienced similar situations many times, so they empathized greatly.
"Xi Yue, what a coincidence to meet you here."
Dugu Jian approached with a fake smile, followed by the handsome Luu Fengxian.
He had investigated thoroughly to find out that Jiang Feng lived here.
In his view, if Baili Xiyue got here before him, either she genuinely had feelings for Jiang Feng and took the initiative, or the Baili Family also intended to win over Jiang Feng.
Either scenario was unacceptable and unforgivable to him!
"It is indeed a coincidence, Young Master Jian, you're as haunting as a ghost, more annoying than a fly," Baili Xiyue said coldly from the car window.
"Hehe, Xi Yue, you misunderstood this time! I'm not here for you today, but for him, don't flatter yourself!"
Dugu Jian spoke and looked up at Jiang Feng behind her.
"Him?"
Upon hearing this, Baili Xiyue was startled and glanced at Jiang Feng too.
"Jiang Feng, we meet again. You should remember me, right?"
Ignoring Baili Xiyue temporarily, Dugu Jian, accompanied by Luu Fengxian, approached Jiang Feng with a light smile.
Jiang Feng remained expressionless.
He had some impression of Dugu Jian, being invited by Qi Xingchun to sit at the front VIP seats suggested he had a notable status, probably on the same level as Baili Xiyue.
But this wasn't the main issue. The real concern was Luu Fengxian by Dugu Jian's side, who kept looking at him with hidden hostility!
Moreover, his deliberately restrained aura was astonishing, comparable to Weng Bojun and surpassing Jing Wuming!
"It's good to have an impression. I came all the way from the Provincial City today just for you."
Dugu Jian smiled, "Shall we chat?"
Jiang Feng frowned, then told Chu Feifei and the women in the car, "You go to the company first."
"Uncle—"
Chu Feifei worriedly looked at Jiang Feng, feeling uneasy.
Baili Xiyue's expression also turned complicated. If Jiang Feng couldn't resist Dugu Jian's persuasion, she would have to reevaluate her relationship with him.
This would be a major test; she didn't want to become enemies with Jiang Feng!
"Go on."
Jiang Feng waved his hand.
Chu Feifei had no choice but to drive away first.
"Jiang Feng, you truly know how to enjoy life, living with such beautiful women that even I'm envious," Dugu Jian teased.
"Say what you have to say," Jiang Feng spoke plainly.
"Won't you invite me in for a drink?"
Dugu Jian glanced inside the villa. Even in such a small place, Jiang Feng could manage to keep beauties hidden, quite impressive indeed.
"I don't entertain uninvited guests at home," Jiang Feng replied bluntly.
"How dare you!"
Luu Fengxian shouted angrily!
Dugu Jian blocked him with a hand and, suppressing his anger, continued with a smile, "Then let's find somewhere to sit?"
"I don't usually have tea with strangers. Get to the point," Jiang Feng said, not wanting to waste time.
Dugu Jian squinted his eyes and sneered, "Jiang Feng, you're indeed extraordinary. In all of Jiangdong, you're the only young man who dares to speak to me like this!"
"Oh?"
"You must be aware of the nine major families in the Provincial City, right?"
Dugu Jian said proudly, "The top three are the Baili Family, the Dugu Family, and the Yuwen Family!"
"And I am from the Dugu Family, a future family head nominee!"
"So?" Jiang Feng appeared unperturbed, not understanding why this mattered to him.
"In a word, I'm interested in you!"
Dugu Jian said arrogantly, "The Qi Family affair was widely known, but it couldn't fool me! The fact that you single-handedly toppled a grand Qi Family was truly unexpected."
"By rights, since the Qi Family is an ally of my Dugu Family, after you overturned the Qi Family, we should avenge them and settle accounts with you."
"However, I value your talent and decided to give you an opportunity — from now on, join my Dugu Family and serve as my right-hand man. I promise you endless wealth and prosperity; in the future, you could even achieve the highest position as the supreme tribunator of the Dugu Family!"
"Is this why you came?"
Jiang Feng finally understood his scheme but dismissed it with a mocking laugh, "Sorry, you've made the trip for nothing."
"What do you mean?"
Dugu Jian's face changed slightly.
"Not interested. Whether it's the Dugu Family or any other family, I hope you won't appear in front of me again. Leave," Jiang Feng ordered directly.
"You... what did you say?!"
Dugu Jian was shocked. He couldn't believe he had humbled himself to come to this remote Binhai like this, even emulating the ancient gesture of visiting a recluse multiple times, only to be outright rejected by Jiang Feng?
"Farewell, don't linger," Jiang Feng added another dismissal.
Luu Fengxian, beside him, could hardly contain himself, his handsome face full of killing aura, staring intently at Jiang Feng!
It seemed he was ready to act at Dugu Jian's command!
Yet, Dugu Jian restrained himself again and again, trying to hold his anger in check!
If he returned without successfully recruiting Jiang Feng, how would he explain it to his grandfather?
"Jiang Feng, think carefully. The olive branch from the Dugu Family is not extended to just anyone! Once you refuse today, it means you will become an enemy of the Dugu Family, and the consequences are not something you can bear!"
"Are you threatening me?"
Jiang Feng squinted his eyes, "I'll say it again: leave my sight immediately."
"Jiang Feng, are you sure you want to offend me, Dugu Jian?"
Dugu Jian fumed with anger. He had never been treated like this before; it was an outright insult!
"Could it be that I came too late, and the Baili Family has already gotten to you first?"
Unwilling to relent, he continued, "Whatever Baili Xiyue promised you, I'll give you ten times more!! As long as you agree to be my subordinate from now on, at my disposal!"
"Leave." Jiang Feng remained calm and uttered the final word.
