My Sexy CEO Wife

Chapter 577 - 574: The Conflict After the Meeting

Gao Fei shook his head, "It's not what you think, between Miss Bai and me... there are no entanglements!"

"My lord..."

"Enough, don't talk about it anymore! From now on, you are forbidden to mention anything about Miss Bai and me again, understand?"

"... Understood..."

"How frustrating, just got back and now I have to leave again, can't even get a good rest," Gao Fei sighed softly.

...

Several days later.

The City Lord's Mansion was brightly lit and bustling with festivities.

From high-ranking officials to commoners, everyone knew that the City Lord's Mansion was hosting a wedding celebration today. Early in the morning, the mansion's gates were flung open to welcome guests from all over.

Gao Fei moved slowly with the crowd into the City Lord's Mansion, then found a seat and sat down.

"Gao Fei!" A woman's voice called out from behind.

Gao Fei turned to look and saw that it was Bai Mudan who had called out to him. By Bai Mudan's side was a man with a somewhat familiar face... ah, it was him? Dongfang Jian! Gao Fei jumped to his feet, staring fixedly at Dongfang Jian, eyes filled with disbelief and astonishment—right, it was Dongfang Jian! How could he be here? When did he arrive?

Gao Fei's mind was full of questions.

"Gao Fei, let me introduce you," Bai Mudan walked over with a haughty air, holding onto Dongfang Jian's arm, her face radiating happiness, "This is my husband, Dongfang Jian." Bai Mudan was showing off; through her actions, she was telling Gao Fei that even without him, Bai Mudan could live a very happy life.

Gao Fei didn't respond to Bai Mudan and kept staring at Dongfang Jian. His lips moved several times as if he wanted to say something.

"Gao Fei, long time no see," Dongfang Jian said with a slight smile. "You look exactly the same, haven't changed a bit."

As soon as Dongfang Jian spoke, Gao Fei confirmed that he had not mistaken the person; the man in front of him was indeed Dongfang Jian!

Gao Fei exhaled a long breath, "Who would have thought I'd see you here, it's really surprising. When did you get here? Can you tell me?"

"Right behind you," Dongfang Jian replied. "You had just arrived, and I followed soon after."

"Remarkable indeed," Gao Fei said sarcastically. "Hiding for so many years, never showing your face, you really have the patience, I must say you're cut out to be a Ninja Turtle."

Bai Mudan looked from one to the other, a puzzled expression on her face, "What's going on? You two know each other?"

"Know each other? Of course, we do," Dongfang Jian nodded. "We're old acquaintances, as familiar as can be."

"To be precise, we should be considered enemies," Gao Fei snorted coldly. "Enemies engaged in a life-and-death feud."

"Enemies? Why would you become enemies?" Bai Mudan frowned, "Dongfang Jian, are you hiding something from me?"

"No, I didn't intentionally keep it from you," Dongfang Jian quickly explained. "I had no idea you knew Gao Fei, so I didn't say anything... Gao Fei and I are from the same place, and because of some trivial matters, we had a conflict... After that, both of us left our hometown and never contacted each other again." Dongfang Jian paused for a moment, "I really didn't expect this, to run into Gao Fei here! Truly unexpected!"

"Enough, stop the act," Gao Fei snorted. "Miss Bai, take my advice, do not marry Dongfang Jian! He's not a good man!"

"What are you talking about!" Bai Mudan glared with wide eyes, shouting anxiously, "Don't you dare speak ill of Dongfang Jian." She had already started to defend him even before they were officially married.

"What I say is true, Dongfang Jian is not a good man! He's an animal! He must have an ulterior motive for getting close to you, you must not be fooled."

"Nonsense."

"I can swear by it, if I've told a single lie, may I die a horrible death."

"Shut your filthy mouth, if you badmouth Dongfang Jian one more time, I'll have you thrown out!"

"Even if you throw me out, I still have to say this, I cannot stand by and watch you jump into a pit of fire, Dongfang Jian really isn't a good person, he has done many evil deeds, and will eventually suffer retribution." Gao Fei was genuinely trying to warn Bai Mudan, but she simply did not believe him.

If someone else had said this, Bai Mudan might have given it some thought, but Gao Fei... it was different. Bai Mudan had always held a grudge against Gao Fei, hating him to the bone, and would never believe anything Gao Fei said.

"Mudan, don't listen to his nonsense," Dongfang Jian stepped forward, pointing at Gao Fei's nose and cursed, "I, Dongfang Jian, am an upright man, I do what's right and walk a straight path, those who know me all give a thumbs up, praising me for my loyalty and righteousness. Of course, that does not include Gao Fei here, mainly because he is too cunning, too sly, too despicable, too shameless; knowing him is the greatest shame of my life."

"Don't worry," Bai Mudan took Dongfang Jian's hand, "I of course believe you!"

"Heh heh..." Gao Fei suddenly burst into a grin.

"Laughing at what?" Bai Mudan demanded.

"Laughing at how foolish you are, laughing at your inability to distinguish between the good and the bad! Miss Bai, we've known each other for a while, and I really can't bear to see you suffer, take my advice, do not marry Dongfang Jian, he's no good," Gao Fei pleaded earnestly.

"Somebody!" Bai Mudan yelled out loudly.

"Clatter..."

A group of guards rushed over.

"Throw this nonsensical guy out!" Bai Mudan pointed at Gao Fei, "If he dares to resist, kill him on the spot!"

The guards immediately surrounded Gao Fei and pressed their weapons against his body.

Overcome with rage, Gao Fei's eyes turned bloodshot as he stared intently at Bai Mudan, "You will regret this sooner or later!" He then turned his gaze towards Dongfang Jian, "And you! You won't have a good end!" After these words, Gao Fei strode away.

The commotion here caught the attention of other guests, but they did not say much. In their eyes, Gao Fei was a nobody, unworthy of concern whether he lived or died.

"Today, blame me," Dongfang Jian said with a wry smile.

"How could I blame you? It's all Gao Fei's fault, I will never let him off lightly," Bai Mudan said bitterly.

"Forget it, let's not make things hard for Gao Fei anymore, no matter what, we are fellow townsmen. Even if he doesn't pay attention to me, I can't kick a man when he's down," Dongfang Jian was such a good actor, he hated Gao Fei to death inside but had to pretend he couldn't care less on the outside, it was indeed difficult for him.

"No way," Bai Mudan shook her head, "Gao Fei has publicly humiliated you, I absolutely cannot forgive him, I will settle the score with him after the wedding, to vent your anger."

Seeing Bai Mudan's righteous indignation, Dongfang Jian felt a surge of triumph. What of the daughter of the City Lord? Was she not still at his mercy, to be toyed with as he pleased? Gao Fei, oh Gao Fei, today is just the beginning, there's a long way to go. I will torment you slowly, making you wish you could neither live nor die.
