Chapter 427: Chapter 427: The Invitation

"Late-night snacks couldn’t possibly be as delicious as you."

Li Feng looked at the awkward Wang Jin’er, looking so appetizing that one couldn’t help wanting to nibble her. Wang Jin’er heard Li Feng’s blatantly cheesy words.

"What are you even saying!"

"Cough!"

At that moment, Wang Tiandao approached the door, "Aren’t you leaving yet? Or do you plan to stay the night here? Jin’er, come here."

Li Feng glanced at his father-in-law’s somewhat darkened face, understanding that his earlier words had irked the man. In his father-in-law’s eyes, allowing himself to marry into the Wang Family was already a significant concession. He hadn’t expected to push his luck further.

"I’ll take my leave then."

Li Feng turned and left, while Wang Jin’er watched his retreating figure, turning back and pouting at Wang Tiandao, "Dad, you’re being a bit too much."

"Too much?"

"I’m starting to regret not grabbing the chessboard to smash his head just now. Humph, with his qualifications, if it weren’t for having a good father, he wouldn’t be worthy of marrying into our Wang Family."

"I think I’ve been too polite to him, allowing that brat to overstep his bounds and get carried away. He even dares to bargain with me."

"And you, girl, compose yourself. You’ve only just met him, and it seems you’ve lost your senses. What’s so great about him that you’ve fallen for him?"

Wang Tiandao felt heartache. His daughter whom he had raised for over twenty years was about to be snatched away from him right before his eyes.

This Li kid, despite not being much to speak of, really knew how to charm a woman.

"Dad, what are you talking about?"

"But do you really think so little of him? He’s actually quite impressive."

Wang Tiandao looked at his daughter defending Li Feng and snorted, "Impressive, what’s the use of being good at fighting? In the end, he’s just a brute."

"I think he fails to realize his own worth, thinking that just because he got lucky once, he could turn into a phoenix rising to the treetops."

"You specialized in business management; you should understand what a trillion-dollar corporation means."

Wang Jin’er felt somewhat discouraged by Wang Tiandao’s scolding.

Running a company worth tens of millions was already complex, but a trillion-dollar corporation was an even more colossal machine. Managing the operations of hundreds of thousands of employees was something a novice could hardly grasp.

"Alright, let him go have his head bloodied and bruised. It will be good to deflate his pride. I need to make a trip to Jin City these next few days; come with me."

The next day.

Li Feng drove to Myth Communication. After over half a month of renovations, the company was ready to reopen.

Ding-dong.

Li Feng stepped out of the elevator and heard a sharp scream that seemed to be Chu Shiyu’s voice. His expression cooled instantly; his company had been closed for more than half a month, and he hadn’t expected trouble to find its way to his doorstep on the very day it reopened.

Li Feng rushed into the company and immediately spotted Chu Shiyu, with one hand protecting her chest and her face flushed with shame.

He instantly turned his cold gaze toward a few other men in suits and moved swiftly toward them without a word, grabbing one by the shoulder.

"Hmm?"

The man turned around, only to receive a punch in the face from Li Feng.

"What do you think you’re doing?"

The other two turned to see their companion knocked to the ground and looked at Li Feng in disbelief.

Li Feng sneered coldly and quickly knocked the other two to the floor. He stepped on one man’s chest asking, "Who sent you to cause trouble here!"

"Speak."

The man under Li Feng’s boot struggled to breathe, "We’re not here to cause trouble; we came to deliver an invitation."

"An invitation!"

"Yes, it was Young Master Ding who sent us."

"Dongfang Ding?"

The man being stepped on nodded, and the person who had been flipped over by Li Feng struggled to his feet with an unmistakably unhappy expression, "That’s right, Young Master Ding. Young Master Ding invites you to a gathering at the Heavenly Palace tonight at seven o’clock."

Dongfang Ding had sent him an invitation.

Li Feng squinted his eyes; Dongfang Ding was the son of the second-largest shareholder of the Century Group. They had clashed once before at a cocktail party, and Dongfang Ding had come off worse.

Li Feng had expected the other party to send someone to pick a fight, but now they had sent an invitation instead. Li Feng was under no illusion that this meant his opponent was wary and wanted to make peace.

Li Feng directly tore up the invitation in front of them, "Go back and tell him I’m not interested."

As if I would attend just because he invites me. Doesn’t he have any self-respect?

"Heh, you’d better go."

The man who spoke earlier sneered at Li Feng.

"What if I just decide not to go?"

Li Feng squinted at him; were they trying to threaten him? Li Feng wasn’t the least bit afraid of that.

"It’s okay if you don’t go, but Young Master Ding didn’t just invite you, he also invited the two beauties with you."

Li Feng twisted around, his hand swiftly shooting out to grab the man’s throat, lifting him off the ground, "Say that again?"

"Li Feng, making things difficult for us won’t help—you’re being unreasonable. We’re just messengers delivering the invitation. Young Master Ding anticipated that you might not go, so he took this approach. If you go tonight, then those two women will naturally be unharmed."

Li Feng scoffed coldly, "Fine, go back and tell Dongfang Ding that I’ll be there tonight, and furthermore, tell him if he dares touch my people, there will be consequences."

"Get lost!"

Li Feng released his grip, and the man gasped for air as the three of them scrammed in disarray.

Chu Shiyu stepped forward, looking at Li Feng, "Boss, what about Sister Linda and Sister Yuqing?"

"They won’t be in any trouble, but you—"

If Dongfang Ding dared to touch Jiang Linda and Su Yuqing, and angered him, Li Feng wouldn’t mind making the Dongfang Family go extinct.

"What about me?"

Chu Shiyu met Li Feng’s gaze, then suddenly snapped back to her senses, quickly crossing her arms over her chest, "Boss, what are you looking at?"

"Now you’re blaming me?"

Chu Shiyu was bashfully at a loss; she didn’t want this. Who could have predicted that even though the shirt was the right size, it wouldn’t accommodate her bust size? She never anticipated her buttons would pop off, causing such an embarrassing scene.

"Young Master Ding, Li Feng has agreed to come tonight."

"Oh, I see."

"Young Master Ding."

"Hmm?"

"That Li Feng told us to relay a message to you—if you dare touch his women, you’ll have to face the consequences, and he’ll beat you so badly that even your mother won’t recognize you."

Dongfang Ding was taken aback for a moment, "Did he really say that?"

"It’s the absolute truth. At first, we mentioned that you, Young Master Ding, asked us to deliver the invitation, but that guy just disregarded your face and tore up the invitation right there. So we could only relay what you told us, and then he came back with that comment."

"Young Master Ding, this guy is really arrogant."

"I understand."

Dongfang Ding ended the call, "Li Feng, do you really think you’ve become a phoenix that soared to the top of the tree? Acting all high and mighty with me, talking about ’your women’—if you don’t give me face tonight, heh."

"Boss, I can’t get through. I can’t reach either Sister Linda’s or Sister Yuqing’s."

"No need to keep trying, the other side won’t just be talking big."

"Then?"

"There won’t be any trouble. They just want to invite me and are worried I might say no. I’ll go tonight, get them, and bring them back."
