Chapter 422: Chapter 298: Is He Afraid of Getting Hit_3

As for his clan relatives, Feng Yi indeed didn’t know much, but he could imagine.

However, the true history and heritage of this "clan" may not be known even to the builders of the ancestral hall.

For instance, Old Man Feng was unaware of the hidden secrets.

Feng Yi took another look at the invitation in his hand.

It listed the Gregorian calendar, lunar calendar, location, and check-in time, among other details.

Besides that, there was much more.

Feng Yi read on.

It began with nearly three hundred words expressing the Feng Clan’s flourishing branches and glorious descendants.

It mentioned that due to a variety of historical issues and unspeakable internal conflicts, along with the chaos caused by an abnormal climate period of twenty years, paying respects to the ancestors had been inconvenient.

After much effort, they had finally overcome these challenges. We (Feng Family of Yang City led by the old man) chose an auspicious site and spared no expense in reconstructing the ancestral hall, making it grand and imposing...

Blah blah blah, nearly eight hundred words of self-praise.

Feng Chi had already read that content, "The Old Man is really going all out this time, eh? He’s arranged the hotel; those from out of town can check in directly and even have their round-trip plane tickets covered if needed. There are so many people, my dad said, even clan relatives we haven’t contacted in eight hundred years received an invitation. Tsk tsk."

Feng Yi closed the invitation, "The problem is, didn’t the Old Man say he expelled me from the family? Why send me this?"

Feng Chi twisted his mouth slightly, "The Old Man meant that he’s only kicked you out of the Feng Family of Yang City, not out of the larger Feng Clan. You still carry the Feng surname, so he sent you an invitation."

Feng Yi looked down, his fingers gently flipping the edge of the invitation, "Did the Old Man say anything else to you?"

Feng Chi made a pained face, "He didn’t say much, but if I’m not misunderstanding him, he implied that if you behave well, it’s possible for you to come back. Later on, you might even be allowed into that impressive ancestral hall."

Feng Yi: "..."

Feng Chi: "I don’t know what exactly went on between you and the Old Man, and I was quite surprised when he summoned me. Ever since I entered the entertainment industry, the Old Man has been loath to hear about my business, seeing it as a disgrace! He spouts words like ’actor’ with disdain."

"Plus, he must have figured out my relationship with you. He specifically called me over to give me a warning, to relay his message, to deliver you this invitation."

Feng Chi looked toward Feng Yi, "Bro, are you going to attend this ancestral worship ceremony?"

Feng Yi nodded, "Yes."

Feng Chi voiced his concerns, "Aren’t you afraid the Old Man will make things difficult for you? He doesn’t even need to do it himself; there are plenty of people willing to give you trouble on his behalf. The Old Man has too many sycophants around him!"

When talking about the Old Man’s sycophants, Feng Chi really wanted to mention Feng Yi’s own parents, but he didn’t have the heart to say it in front of Feng Yi.

Thinking of some matters, Feng Yi smiled, "I’m not afraid. Who troubles whom, it’s too early to say."

Upon hearing this, Feng Chi grew restless, leaned in, and said, "You’re planning something?"

Feng Yi pushed him aside, "Don’t interfere. Just maintain your public image. It’s different for you in the entertainment industry; you’re easily influenced."

Feng Chi, slightly disappointed, "Fine. My career is just taking off; I’m still too fragile, easily taken down with one blow."

Remembering something, Feng Chi spoke excitedly again, "They’ve sent an invitation to Grandma’s side as well, but it’s unclear whether they will participate, given the strained relationship between both sides and the lack of interaction over the years.

"Many people have been inquiring about it. If someone from Grandma’s side attends, whether it’s a cousin or an aunt, no matter who it is, that bunch wants to improve relations. Several people from Grandma’s side are doing quite well for themselves."

Having said that, Feng Chi felt that "quite well" was an understatement, "Not just ’quite well,’ they’re doing exceptionally well! The Old Man turns green every time he mentions them, his sourness and resentment so palpable, you can smell it from a mile away."

"Hey, bro, do you think any of the people from Grandma’s side will come this time?" Feng Chi asked.

Feng Yi pondered and replied, "There’s a possibility."

When it comes to ancestral elders, even if the cousins don’t recognize or care, they would at least want to save face.

Of course, it’s also possible they don’t care at all and completely ignore it.

However, Feng Yi guessed that someone from that side would likely make an appearance.

"Even if someone from that side does attend, they won’t all come; most likely, they’ll send a representative," Feng Yi said.

Feng Chi agreed, "Showing up to go through the motions would spare the Old Man from griping about it later on."

The dispute between the Old Man and Grandma was something probably only known to the two of them, but Grandma had passed away, while the Old Man was still alive.

How this would be portrayed outside depended solely on what he said, right?

Someone would need to be there to keep an eye on the situation, to prevent the Old Man from spouting nonsense in front of all the clan members.

"With your guess, who will come as the representative?" Feng Chi asked, "When people from that side come, they definitely won’t send a junior. A junior won’t have the standing and could be taken advantage of. The Old Man, with his feudal patriarchal ways, likes to suppress others with seniority."

"It would be one of the three cousins or aunts," Feng Yi said, "I’ll go back and ask my cousin about it first."

Feng Chi’s eyes lit up, and he quickly scooted over, "When you talk to Cousin, mention me in passing, huh... toss in some nice adjectives, just a few, two or three will do."

"If Cousin really comes to the ceremony, I’ll definitely show my best side! If Cousin is happy, maybe he’ll even agree to give me a transformer car?"
