Shen Yuan came and left like a gust of wind, leaving the Feng family confused. Feng Lai's car rushed back home, passing by Shen Yuan's Rolls-Royce. When he entered the guest room, only Feng's grandmother and He Rui were there.
Feng Lai hurriedly walked up and asked Feng's grandmother, "Grandma, what did Shen Yuan come for so late at night?"
“Feng Grand mother shook ahead and said “ nothing happened.He came to see Rui Rui.
Feng Lai was shocked and looked incredulously at his shy cousin He Rui. “He has taken a liking to you.?”
He Rui lowered her head even further coquettishly said to Feng’s grand Mother, “Grandma, don't make fun of me. There is nothing like that. You are thinking too much.”
Lin Xiyue had just lost face in public and was now racking her brains to make a comeback. She whispered, "Shen Yuan is a person with deep thoughts. What he does is not as simple as it seems on the surface. He has seen all kinds of beauties. He wouldn't come to our house in the middle of the night just for He Rui. Besides, he didn't even look at her just now. Obviously, our little cousin is overthinking things."
He Rui's face immediately fell when she heard this and she raised her eyebrows to look at Lin Xiyue. "I'm overthinking things? Is it because my family background is not prominent enough to match Shen Yuan? You, a small family, also dare to look down on me?”
Lin Xiyue had just lost my in public and was very unhappy. She couldn't help but say sarcastically, “our family background is barely a match. It's just that I am never been interested in women, so I don't know how my little cousin manage to marry into the Shen family. Or did you deliberately use the secret of the Feng family to please Shen Yuan? You are so eager ruin the Feng family before you even climb into Shen Yuan bed?”
Feng Lai frowned, confused by what Lin Xiyue was saying. What credit are you talking about? What secret of Feng family have been revealed?”
Lin Xiyue snorted and whispered in Feng Lai ear’s, “As soon as Shen Yuan came in, he asked about Feng Gui’s and Jiao Yan's affairs. Grandma wanted to be vouge but Shen Yuan knew about the incident at Chenhu. Moreover, He said that He Rui had blabbed about it.”
Feng Lai face turn pale and question He Rui, “ What did you say to him?”
He Rui didn't understand what she had done wrong and didn't think it was a big deal.she retorted with her head high, “ I just told him. What's wrong with that? Shen Yuan asked, and could I lie to him? Besides, Shen Yuan is the witness for Second cousin’s wedding. Can't he just care about us a little?”
Lin Xiyue sneered and looked at He Rui's arrogant and domineering appearance. “You speak as if you know him well. You are just a little person who has been raised in the palm of your hand in the Feng family. You only know how to bow down to Feng wu. After all,he is surnamed Feng. What kind of person are you to dare to show off in front of me?”
“She retorted without reservation, ‘it was Shen Yuan who talked to me alone for the whole night at the party. And when I got angry and ran back home, he immediately followed me. It's normal for others to misunderstand. I know myself
well, and I've never said that Shen Yuan likes me.""
He Rui sneered and looked at Feng Lai with a gloating expression. "Cousin Feng Lai, you just came back and don't know what happened. Your fiancee just embarrassed our family. Shen Yuan said that you did the right thing by not marrying her."
Feng Lai was confused by the two women's argument, first mentioning his twin brother Feng Gui and then saying that not marrying Lin Xiyue was the right thing to do. His head was already not very clear, and the two women made him even more dizzy.
"Enough, both of you get out!" Feng's grandmother looked at the two women bickering and finally lost her patience.
Lin Xiyue quieted down and walked up to Feng's grand mother with a look of grievance. "I'm sorry, grandmother. It was my fault for arguing with my cousin. I won't do it again in the future."
But He Rui turned around and
went upstairs, leaving behind a sentence, "Pretending to be virtuous, you should go act in a play."
After the two left, Feng's grandmother told Feng Lai what had happened that day. She sighed wearily, "Shen Yuan is not a busybody, so it's okay if he knows. He will be in Wancheng for a long time this time, so you must meet him more often. Our elders have been friendly for generations, and we should continue this relationship in this generation. If we can form an alliance, that would be the best."
Feng Lai was still worried about what happened in the past. He thought Lin Xiyue was right, "Xiyue is right. Shen Yuan may have other ideas, otherwise why would he inquire about Jiao Yan's cause of death?"
"One is a wealthy magnate, and the other is a beggar in the slums. There is a world of difference
between them. How can they
have any intersection?" Feng's grandmother thought of Jiao Yan and looked very annoyed. She looked at Feng Lai with concern, "Shen Yuan must be concerned about your younger brother Feng- Gui! It's not surprising, as he is the only one among you who is close to him."
Feng Lai was a little dissatisfied with this, "It's not that close, at most just playing chess together."
"Even if it's just a chess friend, it's better than not being familiar at all!" Feng's grandmother was slightly annoyed, and her face looked very unpleasant.
Feng Lai quickly apologized, "I'm not as smart as my younger brother."
"Forget it..." Feng's grandmother waved her hand, "Being too smart is not a good thing. Even if Shen Yuan knows the truth, there's nothing to be afraid of. You can ask him for help. But now I have an important task for you to do."
Feng Lai was very respectful, "Grandmother, please tell me.
“You go and check if Shen Yuan only talked to He Rui at that party. If it's true, then we need to help him.” Feng grandmother’s idea was simple, to truly connect with Shen Yuan through family alliance. This will greatly guaranty the power of Feng family.
“ Our family has been dominant in Wancity for many years, but our foundation is in traditional industry and our bottom line is in energy and mineral resources. Traditional industries are facing transformation, and the energy and mining industry is too heavily influenced by the macro environment. Now our family group is gradually declining, and we must have a stronger alliance.
No matter what form of alliance, marriage alliance is always the best one.
But my cousin is still surnamed He, and the biggest beneficiary is still the He family! When it comes to interest, Feng Lai finally enters a state.
There is always the first person to eat crabs! Feng Lao Fu Ren showed a profound and unpredictable smile, and Feng Lai immediately understood. He praised her sincerely, admiring the old woman’s dip calculations. The ginger is still hot! He Rui is an actress, Shen Yuan is an investor. They have plenty of opportunities to interact. As long as He Rui successfully captures his heart, it will be too easy to marry Feng Wu over!
Marriage alliance should pay attention to marching background no prince of a financial consortium will marry a daughter from an ordinary family. Otherwise the Feng family would not encourage the prettier He Rui to become the female star and let the slightly less attractive Feng Wu mix in socialite circle.
Thinking of this, Feng Lai perform a Manchu bow to Feng Lao Fu Ren: You and grandpa are both from the upper Three Banners and we have inherited the most noble bloodlines of the two families. Such a noble lineage is enough to make up for the gap between us and the Shen family.
We don't need to make a fuss about a small matters that makes it to the hot search. Do you understand what it means to loose our identity? Feng Lai was full of confidence showing the superiority of rich young master. Looking at Feng Lai’s arrogant appearance, Feng Lao Fu Ren nodded repeatedly: That is right, family like ours should be calm and composed.
Calm and composed is just a little illusion of Feng Fu Ren her self.
What she didn't expect was that there would be a headline news Soon, causing chaos in the Feng family.
Because… the former mistress who was sunk in the lake years ago actually appeared on TV with a disguised face.
