Chapter 333: Chapter 0334: Complete Victory? Pyrrhic Victory?

Chu Feng’s question was somewhat nonsensical, leaving everyone somewhat perplexed. They didn’t know why Chu Feng would ask such a question.

"What do you fear most?" asked Bai Jiarui.

Chu Feng said, "What a clown fears most is that even after someone removes his mask, he remains a clown."

Chu Feng’s words seemed like a cold joke, but no one could muster a laugh.

This time, Chu Feng didn’t expect Bai Jiarui to keep asking, and continued on his own, "From the moment you appeared, you should have noticed my presence. Yet, you purposely left your phone number for someone, which was merely a performance. It made everyone think you are just a profligate, merely playing around with her. Whether it works out or not, it wouldn’t be a loss for you. Thus, you don’t need to worry about losing face if rejected.

Let’s talk about what you said just now. You were belittling me, but you didn’t overly elevate yourself. Instead, you emphasized your younger brother significantly. To outsiders, this might seem like deep brotherly love. Wherever you go, you never forget your brother, showcasing the Bai Family’s harmony.

But in my view, that’s a form of high-level disparagement. You belittle me by using your brother. Thus, I would hate him, which is like you drawing hatred towards him. That makes him gain another enemy, and a formidable one at that."

After pausing for a moment, Chu Feng, ignoring the slight change in Bai Jiarui’s expression, said, "Because of your behavior, I guess that when you act like a profligate outside, you always bring up your younger brother at the end. For instance, when you snatch a woman from someone else, you tell them, ’My brother also likes her.’ When you make someone kneel, you tell them, ’My brother would do even worse.’

Honestly, you truly are a cunning profligate, skilled in drawing hatred. This strategy not only boosts your brother’s reputation but also sets up many enemies for him, leaving your elders without anything to say. With a brother like you, your younger brother is indeed fortunate."

Chu Feng spoke at length, but every word struck a chord, suddenly making many in the audience understand something.

Those who could be here were no fools. They had only been blinded by the brilliance of the Bai Family and overlooked these matters. But now that Chu Feng had brought them up, how could they not understand?

"Clap! Clap!"

Bai Jiarui began to clap, then still smiling, said, "Brilliant! Absolutely brilliant, you’ve used so much effort to firmly establish your own image, while also trying to drive a wedge between me and my brother. I must admire you for that."

Chu Feng was not flustered by Bai Jiarui’s composure, instead, he shook his head and said, "Actually, if you were to become enraged now, it would do more to salvage your image. Everyone would believe that you are just a profligate after all. That would better dilute the impact of my earlier words."

Changing the topic, Chu Feng said, "Of course, even if you were to become enraged, I believe the effect wouldn’t be significant. Because I would expose you, making everyone further realize your hypocrisy."

Bai Jiarui’s forehead vein was throbbing, as he was truly becoming enraged, not just pretending.

Chu Feng completely ignored Bai Jiarui and turned towards the crowd, saying, "Now everyone should know that I am truly a gentleman. I always use my words and never resort to violence, especially when wearing such an expensive suit."

After finishing, Chu Feng looked towards the equally pale-faced Jin Yu and said, "Now you understand why I said you are destined to be a loser, right? Compared to them, you are too inexperienced. Everything about you is on display for everyone, while all of their deeds are seen only by themselves. You’ve always been showing your hand, and it’s not a very good one at that. Do you think you can win?"

Chu Feng’s words caused sweat to form on Jin Yu’s forehead.

"May I ask, sir, what is your name?" Wu Mingzhe suddenly spoke up, asking Chu Feng.

The meaning of this was unclear to the onlookers.

Chu Feng looked at Wu Mingzhe, a slight smile on his lips, "In fact, your move was quite clever, suggesting that I wasn’t on the invitation list, ready to kick me out. But next time, please make sure to check whether I actually have an invitation or not. Unfortunately for you, I happened to have one this time."

After speaking, Chu Feng also produced his own invitation.

Seeing the invitation Chu Feng produced, Zhuang Xinyan was also slightly surprised. Clearly, this invitation was not arranged by her for Chu Feng. In fact, she had forgotten about the invitation issue altogether.

She thought that as long as Chu Feng was with her, the Wu Family would not use such a flimsy excuse to send Chu Feng away. But now, the Wu Family had done just that, and Chu Feng had indeed brought an invitation.

What was going on, Zhuang Xinyan didn’t know, so she looked towards An Wenxing.

An Wenxing was also holding a glass of wine, gently shaking his head, indicating that he had not orchestrated this situation. Indeed, An Wenxing was also very curious about how Chu Feng had obtained his invitation.

Wu Mingzhe, upon seeing the invitation in Chu Feng’s hands, also had a change of expression. Obviously, his plan had been doomed before he even voiced it.

In this round, Wu Mingzhe and Bai Jiarui were completely defeated.

And this also perfectly echoed Chu Feng’s words, "What clowns fear most is still being clowns even after their masks are removed."

Wu Mingzhe and Bai Jiarui were those clowns, and Chu Feng was the one who had unmasked them, exposing them for all to see.

In the end, this confrontation calmed down, and neither Wu Mingzhe nor Bai Jiarui left in anger. After all, they were no longer children, and they were the hosts this time.

Of course, their popularity did not suffer much from Chu Feng’s victory. Everyone still flattered the two, because one victory or defeat doesn’t determine everything.

"Are you keeping something from me?" Zhuang Xinyan looked at Chu Feng as if she wanted to see right through him.

In a gentle tone, Chu Feng said, "You also keep a lot of things from me."

Zhuang Xinyan did not continue to dwell on the origin of Chu Feng’s invitation but said instead, "Did you win this time?"

Chu Feng shook his head, "This time, it can only be considered a bitter victory. They were completely defeated, but I also exposed one of my cards. It will allow them to be better prepared next time."

Zhuang Xinyan said, "Are you referring to that invitation?"

Chu Feng nodded, "Yes. I thought they would not stoop so low, but they were more shameless than I imagined. So in the end, all I could manage was a bitter victory, not a complete triumph."

Zhuang Xinyan said, "I’m starting to not understand you."

Chu Feng replied, "I have always been unable to understand you, but that doesn’t prevent me from being your boyfriend now."

"Let’s go dance," Chu Feng suggested. "It’s said that dancing is the best time to get close. I don’t want to be watched while getting close to you, as that would give me a sense of guilt."
