Chapter 460: Chapter 460: Pretending to be Decent

"Cough, cough cough!"

Han Xue nearly choked Li Feng as she began to speak; this woman really could say anything. Li Feng looked up at Han Xue.

"What’s going on with them?"

Kicking off her slippers, Han Xue rested her fair, delicate feet on Li Feng’s leg: "Ha, men always say one thing and mean another. They act all proper with their words, but their bodies tell the honest truth."

Li Feng glanced at Han Xue with a sly look in his eyes and reached out to grab her ankle firmly.

"Men might not be honest, but it seems you women love to lie just as much."

As he spoke, his fingers swiftly tickled the sole of Han Xue’s foot.

"Ah!"

The soles of the feet are sensitive areas, and Han Xue instinctively tried to withdraw her foot. However, under Li Feng’s iron grip, it wasn’t so easy to pull away. She turned red and glared at Li Feng.

"You."

"Why are you glaring at me like that? You were the one who started this."

Han Xue’s eyes widened with fury as she gritted her teeth and glared at Li Feng: "You scoundrel, calling you shameless would be a compliment."

"You should be chairman by now, why even bother with me?" Han Xue looked angrily at Li Feng, never expecting him to come out on top in the previous board meeting.

She had agreed to help Chen Muyang, not just because she had been caught by him and promised certain things, but she also had her own agenda.

Li Feng was an outsider after all, and the online exposé made it clear that he couldn’t possibly control Century Group: his involvement would only lead to turmoil.

Although Chen Muyang was profligate, he was Chen Qinian’s only son. His election would be acceptable to the Chen Family and the original board members who founded the company with them. With that in mind, Chen Muyang taking over would be the logical choice and would help to quell public opinion the fastest.

She knew that without a child of her own, everything was as unstable as a floating weed. Moreover, even if a child were born, it would take eighteen years for them to come of age. With a covetous Chen Muyang beside her, the thought alone was terrifying.

In the face of reality, she chose to bear the humiliation. If Chen Muyang were elected, there would be no reason for him to harm her or her child. After all, the child in her womb was the Chen Family’s only heir.

Little did she expect that Li Feng would completely disrupt her plans, causing Chen Muyang to slink away from the board meeting. But clearly, it wasn’t over yet.

Now she had to reevaluate and continue betting on Chen Muyang—it would be foolish. Her only option was to place her bets on the unpredictable Li Feng.

"You are my sister-in-law, Chen Qinian is my sworn brother, and the child in your belly is my godson. If I don’t look after you, am I supposed to just let you fend for yourself?"

"That would play right into your hands, wouldn’t it?"

Han Xue scoffed coldly.

Li Feng shrugged his shoulders and released Han Xue’s ankle. "Han Xue, believe it or not, I don’t have any grand ambitions for Century Group. Money is just a number to me; I don’t lack it."

"If you want it, you can take it at any time, but—"

Han Xue watched Li Feng with a sneer, suspecting a catch was coming.

"You can’t corner me or force me to make choices. My dignity won’t allow me to back down."

"Dignity?"

Han Xue burst out laughing, shaking with mirth, and it was a long while before she finally stopped, wiping away the tears at the corner of her eyes.

"Don’t you think it’s hilarious?"

Li Feng silently watched Han Xue finish laughing and spoke matter-of-factly, "I know what you’re laughing at, is it because I’ve been a live-in son-in-law? Since I’ve already been one, do I still need dignity?"

"You’re not wrong to laugh, I once bowed my head, at that time I put myself below everyone, thinking that was the life I wanted."

"I was wrong, so I picked up the dignity I had lost, and this time, no one will make me, Li Feng, bow."

Li Feng’s voice was not loud, but his words carried an unmistakable force.

Han Xue looked at Li Feng, and for some reason, at that moment Li Feng radiated an aura that made her heart flutter.

"The Chen Family doesn’t want to give up just like that, so they’re targeting old Chen, wanting a coroner to dissect his body to see if there was foul play in his death."

Han Xue opened her mouth, the Chen Family had come this time to persuade her to sign, if she didn’t sign, the coroner wouldn’t be able to proceed.

Li Feng narrowed his eyes.

Ha, the Chen Family, they wouldn’t even leave the dead in peace for their own gain.

"What do you think?"

Han Xue lifted her eyes to Li Feng, with a sad smile, "Does my opinion matter? Who would care about what I think, it’s ’Immortals’ like you fighting now."

"If I don’t agree, the Chen Family won’t let it go, in their mouths I’ll become a frivolous, shameless woman, even the child in my womb will be doubted."

"If I agree, how could old Chen rest in peace? He’s dead, and I can’t even ensure his body remains undisturbed."

Li Feng looked at Han Xue, tears welling up in her eyes, "Don’t bother with them, leave these matters to me."

Han Xue looked up at Li Feng, "You’ll handle it? And how will you do that? Do you think auditing their accounts will catch them by the tail and make them submit?"

"They are all scoundrels, leeches sucking blood from the Chen Family, they talk as if Century Group is theirs, but in reality, without my husband, they’re nothing."

"But there’s no other way, is there? Family and clan laws, if you dare to lay a hand on them, you’d be ungrateful, you’d be unfilial."

"These people, they’re good-for-nothings, but they’re more than capable of ruining things by stirring up the news and playing the moral card, they’re all shameless anyway."

Han Xue really had no way out, now none of these so-called relatives of Chen Qinian were actual brothers; they were all children of the brothers from Chen Qinian’s father’s generation, cousins and such.

They were all ordinary peasants in the early years, and whatever they have today, it was all thanks to Chen Qinian’s support, as for doing it on their own.

Ha.

"When I say leave it to me, then trust me, I’ll handle my brother’s funeral affairs, and you just focus on your pregnancy."

Li Feng said.

"Apart from these people, there’s also Chen Muyang, if he can kidnap me once, he could do it twice. Now that you’ve taken his Chairman position, do you think he’ll just let it go?"

"These Chen Family people are all flocking around Chen Muyang now, who knows what kind of underhanded tactics they’ll come up with later."

Han Xue shook her head, how could she be at peace?

Li Feng stood up, looked down at the desolate Han Xue, "You don’t have to trust me now, when it comes to dealing with Chen Muyang, you can tell him directly that you’re on his side."

"As for everything that happens afterward, I’ll take the blame."

After saying this, Li Feng suddenly turned and left.

Han Xue watched Li Feng’s back, why did he suddenly become so manly, making her heart pound.

"He’s come down, he has come down."
