Chapter 439: Chapter 440: Meeting

In this era where information networks are advanced, there are no secrets to speak of.

Zhuang Xinyan’s place had just experienced an explosion, and there were hardly a few people in East River who didn’t know about it.

The air of East River, due to this assassination attempt, had become increasingly tense.

The entire upper echelon of East River society had already sniffed out this tense atmosphere.

This year’s New Year in East River was doomed not to be peaceful, and the upcoming family meeting was bound not to pass smoothly.

"Hasn’t anyone found out who did it yet?" Three days later, Chu Feng went to see An Rongrong, saw her just hanging up the phone with Zhuang Xinyan, and asked with a worried expression.

An Rongrong shook her head and said, "Not yet. Sister Xinyan said that the more we investigate, the more complex it gets. More and more people have been involved, not just the Bai Family stirring into the mix, but also the other two families from Songjiang could very well have the means to do this. Sister Xinyan suggests that we put this matter on hold for now and continue the investigation after the family meeting."

Chu Feng said, "That’s probably for the best. Come home with me today. You’ll have to face them sooner or later. Are you afraid of meeting the in-laws like an ugly wife?"

An Rongrong retorted, "You’re the ugly wife. I’m just worried that they won’t be able to accept me. And..."

Chu Feng said, "And what?"

An Rongrong said, "And I’m worried that they might keep their guns pointed outward at me, leaving me completely isolated."

Chu Feng laughed and said, "Don’t worry, that’s not going to happen. Even if we do need to show a united front, it would definitely be them against me, not you. Come home with me, and let’s all have a meal together."

An Rongrong said, "Alright."

Chu Feng asked, "Do you want to go to the mall and buy some things first?"

An Rongrong said, "I’ve already bought everything, and it’s been at home for two days."

Chu Feng teased An Rongrong’s nose and said, "It seems you’ve been prepared for a while now, let’s set off then."

Chu Feng and An Rongrong left the An Family estate together and came to the villa where Chu Feng lived.

With Chu Feng’s current wealth, he certainly had the means to live in an estate like the An Family’s. It was just that Qin Mei and the others didn’t want to, saying that if they really had money, they might as well buy a small island.

Later, Chu Feng himself also thought, if he really had money, he might as well buy a small island. It was both safe and comfortable.

Chu Feng drove both of them to the villa’s entrance, and An Rongrong was still somewhat worried, not knowing how to face Qin Mei and the others.

But in the end, it was Chu Feng who pulled An Rongrong along, and the two of them brought a load of large and small packages into the house.

An Rongrong hadn’t brought a bodyguard with her today; of course, having Chu Feng was already enough.

An Rongrong insisted on carrying those gifts by herself, so Chu Feng just let her do it.

Chu Feng opened the door, only to see Cui Jingyan and the others busy with something.

Seeing An Rongrong and Chu Feng come in, all four ladies put down what they were doing and came over to welcome An Rongrong’s arrival.

"Hello everyone, I’m An Rongrong. I should have come to see you all earlier, but after returning to East River, one thing after another kept coming up, and that’s why I was delayed," said An Rongrong with a flushed face.

As Chu Feng’s former sister-in-law, Qin Mei naturally took the initiative to come forward.

Qin Mei said, "Rongrong, you’re too polite. We’re all family here; it doesn’t matter if you come a few days earlier or later."

"Wow, this is my favorite C. GILSON lingerie, and it’s even a handcrafted design by GILSON himself. I looked for it for so long but couldn’t find it," Fan Xiaoxiao exclaimed as if she had discovered a new continent, her eyes shining as she stared at the gift box in An Rongrong’s hands.

An Rongrong smiled sweetly, handing the box to Fan Xiaoxiao and said, "I wasn’t sure whether you’d like it."

"Like it, like it, I really like it. It’s absolutely to my taste, with this I can consider my test passed," Fan Xiaoxiao declared with a sense of ’righteousness reaching the heavens’.

"Xiaoxiao, don’t be ridiculous," Fang Ting pulled on Fan Xiaoxiao’s arm and said.

An Rongrong handed her carefully prepared gift to Fang Ting, and said, "I know you like tranquillity, so I specially prepared a bottle of ambergris for you. I’m not sure if you’ll like it, though."

"Wow, Rongrong, you’re amazing. Just the other day, Sister Tingting was telling me that she wanted to buy some perfume," Fan Xiaoxiao exaggeratedly said.

Watching from the background, Chu Feng knew that An Rongrong had been very careful in choosing these gifts. It was even possible that during her time in the USA, An Rongrong had already been thinking about today’s occasion.

Otherwise, An Rongrong couldn’t possibly have bought gifts that were so precisely irresistible to both Fan Xiaoxiao and Fang Ting.

Fang Ting had not expected the gift from An Rongrong to be ambergris, and it left her unable to refuse. She could only accept the elegant box, saying, "Thank you."

An Rongrong smiled sweetly and said, "I’m glad you like it."

"Sister Mei, Chu Feng told me that you suffered a lot while supporting his education back in the day. You even accidentally hurt your skin once, leaving a scar. This is Snow Dragon Ointment, which can smooth out scars. I hope you’ll like it," An Rongrong said, offering a delicate box to Qin Mei.

A scar on her waist was indeed a sore spot for Qin Mei; although it wasn’t very long or deep, it was still a psychological knot for her. This directly led to Qin Mei’s reluctance to wear revealing clothes even in summer, opting for one-piece swimsuits.

She had tried many methods to get rid of it, but none worked. Moreover, she felt awkward about discussing such matters with Chu Feng and asking him for solutions.

She had researched and knew that Snow Dragon Ointment was effective, but it was so scarce that she couldn’t buy it even with money. She had not expected that An Rongrong would gift it to her.

Such a gift was truly something she couldn’t refuse. Qin Mei accepted the Snow Dragon Ointment, saying, "Thank you, Rongrong. I really can’t refuse your gift."

Hearing his sister-in-law’s words, Chu Feng felt a bit embarrassed and said, "Sister Mei, if you had told me what you wanted earlier, I would have gotten it for you no matter what."

Qin Mei gave Chu Feng a look and said, "If I told you, you would probably forget about it in a couple of days."

Chu Feng chuckled and chose not to respond.

An Rongrong took out her last prepared gift and gave it to Cui Jingyan, saying, "Sister Yan, this is for you. It’s a piece of mutton-fat black Warm Jade, which not only brings good luck but also, if worn long-term, can help maintain a youthful appearance."

It was true that Warm Jade had age-defying properties, especially the mutton-fat black Warm Jade, which was considered the best of its kind for preserving youth.

However, it was incredibly hard to find, and one might not come across even a trace of it in dozens of jade mines.

This gift, too, was something Cui Jingyan couldn’t refuse.

"Thank you," Cui Jingyan said as she accepted the Warm Jade, also expressing her gratitude.

"Let’s not all stand around here, come inside," Qin Mei said as she took the initiative to pull An Rongrong’s hand.

Watching from behind, Chu Feng suddenly understood a principle: no woman is indifferent to beauty. Any gift that could make them more beautiful was something they would never refuse.
