Chapter 1091 - 1096: Wang Xiaoyong
Chapter 1091 - 1096: Wang Xiaoyong
This has already begun... Actually, before coming to the Wang Family, Lin Feng knew that today’s trip was almost like Liu Bang’s confrontation at the Hongmen Banquet in the past, surrounded by enemies and welcomed with cold stares. Just like now, even before entering the door, Wang Jiasheng was already glaring at Lin Feng like a fierce beast ready to pounce at any moment!However, Wang Jiasheng currently had no excuse to make trouble for Lin Feng. He clenched his teeth, and in the end, with a sullen face, led Lin Feng and Su Zi into the Wang Family hall.
As Lin Feng and Su Zi entered the hall, they first saw an old man sitting on the sofa, watching Peking opera on a big screen TV. This man was very old, looking at least in his eighties, with kind and gentle features, though his face appeared somewhat shrunken. Virtually everyone in China knows him; he is none other than the former chancellor of China, Wang Xiaoyong!
Behind Wang Xiaoyong stood a middle-aged man wearing a sharply tailored Zhongshan suit. The man had an intense aura about him. When he sensed someone entering, he immediately turned to glance at the entrance. His sharp gaze swept over Su Zi and Wang Jiasheng, before fixating firmly on Lin Feng, staring for a good three or four seconds...
Then, the middle-aged man showed a hint of surprise and involuntarily let out an "eh?" of doubt.
"Fu Zheng, what remarkable thing did you see to be this surprised?" Upon hearing the sound of doubt from the middle-aged man’s mouth, Wang Xiaoyong couldn’t help but turn around and follow his gaze. Seeing Su Zi, Wang Xiaoyong’s face instantly revealed a perfectly professional kind smile, but upon seeing Lin Feng, his expression stiffened...
Wang Xiaoyong, even if unsure of Lin Feng’s martial arts prowess, understood that he hadn’t invited any guests besides Su Zi. So how did this somewhat rustic-looking young man appear with Su Zi?!
"Old Wang, this young man is not simple... His martial arts are quite strong, unusually so!" Fu Zheng glanced back at Wang Xiaoyong, lowered his voice, and said, "Even at such a young age, he’s comprehended a hint of the Innate Realm, this prowess probably makes it so that fewer than a hundred people in all of China would be his match. More importantly, he’s so young! Even I didn’t reach his current level of cultivation until I was nearly 40!"
"Hmm? Are you saying this youngster is more formidable than you were at his age?!" Wang Xiaoyong looked at Fu Zheng with some surprise. Knowing that Fu Zheng was a legendary Innate expert, for him to say Lin Feng’s current achievements far surpassed his own youth, means Lin Feng could well surpass Innate experts in the future?!
"Judging by cultivation alone, that’s probably the case!" Fu Zheng explained to Wang Xiaoyong with some lament, but then added unnecessarily, "However, in one-on-one combat, at the same age, I might not have necessarily lost to him!"
Wang Xiaoyong chuckled, nodding in agreement with Fu Zheng’s words, "Of course, who doesn’t know you were the sharpest blade in the Military Intelligence Bureau Section 8? Your achievements back then already proved your strength! How could this youngster compare to you?!"
"Hehe... Old Wang flatters me!" Fu Zheng showed a smile of both self-confidence and modesty...
After Wang Xiaoyong nodded, he turned his attention to Wang Jiasheng, withdrawing his smile and asking authoritatively, "Jiasheng, wasn’t it only Xiao Zi visiting today? Why did you bring someone else in? Who is this young man?!"
Suddenly being addressed by his Grandpa, Wang Jiasheng was momentarily stunned. Despite being his blood grandfather, and an authoritative figure, Wang Jiasheng was somewhat intimidated by Wang Xiaoyong’s voice. Turning to look at him, he instinctively replied, "Grandpa, this is... Lin Feng... he, he is Su Zi’s classmate..."
"Xiao Zi’s classmate?" Wang Xiaoyong’s expression turned peculiar. Glancing at Su Zi, he chuckled and asked with a feigned calmness, "Xiao Zi, were you so bored with Grandpa Wang’s quiet home that you intentionally brought along a playful classmate to liven things up?!"
Su Zi’s face froze for a moment. With the insight she gained from her immersion in the Su Family, she naturally recognized Wang Xiaoyong’s sarcasm... Right from the start, this Old Master Wang clearly had an issue with Lin Feng!
Such a scenario was anticipated, and Su Zi had already foreseen its occurrence. She chose to face it head-on, so she looked directly at Wang Xiaoyong, smiled, and said, "Grandpa Wang, you’re joking. Lin Feng is a good friend of mine. I brought him along hoping you’d take more care of him. Lin Feng is very well-behaved, he wouldn’t disturb you at all! Besides, I still need him to take me home later. What else could I do but bring him along?"
Upon hearing Su Zi’s words filled with hints, Wang Xiaoyong’s expression instantly stiffened. He stared intently at Lin Feng, hesitating for several seconds before reluctantly sighing, "It seems the Su Family boy truly declined my goodwill!"
Su Zi didn’t understand the meaning behind Wang Xiaoyong’s words, but she knew for sure his mood was not in a good state.
Wang Xiaoyong suddenly sighed wistfully, turned to Wang Jiasheng, and spoke in a deep voice.
"Jiasheng, entertain Xiao Zi well. I won’t be here to impose on you young folks..."
Wang Jiasheng initially froze, suddenly realizing that Wang Xiaoyong seemed to be signaling to him, indicating he should first stall Su Zi and Lin Feng...
Wang Jiasheng immediately understood, nodded to Wang Xiaoyong, and displayed a resolute expression.
Only then did Wang Xiaoyong leave the hall with an anxious look, preparing to call Su Zhenxian to question what exactly he meant. He had agreed to Su Zi marrying Wang Xiaoyong, yet now Su Zi brought a man to visit, which was outright provocation!!
The Su Family wants to renege, break off the engagement! Given Wang Xiaoyong’s character, he naturally wouldn’t accept Su Zhenxian’s showdown, so he must promptly refute the Su Family boy’s request to break off the engagement, forcefully suppressing it through Su Zhenxian’s channel!
...
In the living room, ever since receiving Wang Xiaoyong’s special hint, Wang Jiasheng kept pondering what his grandfather wanted him to do. Without grasping Wang Xiaoyong’s intention, he could only sit with Lin Feng and Su Zi in the family living room, sipping tea...
Su Zi appeared a bit anxious. She had come to convey her father’s intention against the engagement to Wang Xiaoyong, but with Wang Xiaoyong now absent, she didn’t know what to do!
Lin Feng, on the other hand, remained unhurried. As he enjoyed the warm tea served by the Wang family’s maid, he leisurely observed the surroundings...
While Lin Feng thought time would pass leisurely, suddenly, from behind, a harsh woman’s voice screamed, "Haha, Lin Feng, I’ve been worrying about not finding you, and here you are, delivering yourself right to my doorstep! Truly, heaven is helping me!"
