Chapter 544: Chapter 544: Money Talks

Sun Tao turned his head to look at the newcomer and immediately and subserviently called out, "Brother Tian."

"Sun Tao, what’s the matter with you? How could you lay a hand on such a gentle and lovely girl as your sister-in-law?"

Looking at the man whom Sun Tao was treating with such respect, Zhou Yutong identified him as Wu Tian, whose family background was not just a notch above Sun Tao’s, making Sun Tao look like a little brother in his presence.

"Brother Tian."

Tears streamed down Zhou Yutong’s face as if she had endured a huge injustice.

"Sun Tao, what on earth is going on? No matter what’s said, Yutong is your fiancée. How could you slap her in front of others?"

That beautiful woman walked right over to Zhou Yutong’s side.

"Sister Ming Xin."

"What’s going on? Tell me, and I’ll stand up for you."

"It’s all because of him. I just made a few remarks, and Sun Tao yelled at me, even slapped me, and demanded an apology."

"Zhou Yutong, were those just a few words? Do you have any idea how vicious what you said was? What gives you the right to speak of him that way?"

Wang Jin’er couldn’t stand by as Zhou Yutong played the victim, and she stood up to defend Li Feng.

"I said those things for your own good."

"So should I thank you for that?"

Wang Jin’er looked coldly at Zhou Yutong, while Shen Yanran, holding her head, watched her best friend sticking up for Li Feng—this girl was beyond help.

"As a grown man, can’t you be a bit more tolerant? Arguing with a girl over trifles isn’t becoming of a man’s character."

Li Feng gave a cold smile to the woman defending Zhou Yutong, "Don’t preach benevolence without knowing another’s suffering. She didn’t insult your mother, so of course, you have the leisure to stand here and talk nonsense."

Before Li Feng finished speaking, a phone call came through.

"Zhang Shao, our cooperation ends here."

Li Feng turned to Sun Tao: "She’s your wife, I don’t bully women, so I’m putting this debt on your head."

Li Feng turned, putting his arm around Wang Jin’er’s waist, and left with a swagger.

"Sun Tao, who is he? So arrogant."

Qu Mingxin snorted disdainfully. Clearly put off by Li Feng’s retort and seeing Zhou Yutong’s tearful display, she had already formed her opinion.

"Sister-in-law, he’s Li Feng, the guest of honor at today’s banquet. Zhang Chang is waiting for him inside," Sun Tao responded with a wry smile.

"He’s Li Feng?"

Wu Tian’s mouth fell open: "Could it be that the call he just took was from Zhang Chang?" Wu Tian’s expression changed.

"You just had to stick your nose in, and now look at the trouble you’ve caused," Wu Tian reproachfully said to his wife.

He was privy to some inside information; this Li Feng was a major financier, and Zhang Chang treated him like an honored guest. The whole banquet was held to pull him in to share the spoils.

Qu Mingxin was taken aback, slightly at a loss for words: "How was I to know he was Li Feng?"

"Zhou Yutong, what exactly happened just now? He said you insulted his mother? Is that true?"

Zhou Yutong pouted: "Sister Ming Xin, isn’t he just a kept man? Besides, I haven’t said anything untrue; it’s all over the internet."

Qu Mingxin let go of Zhou Yutong as if she were toxic.

"Sun Tao, you need to control her mouth. If she continues to be so indiscreet, she’ll bring trouble upon you sooner or later," Qu Mingxin regretted speaking up for Zhou Yutong—why had she even bothered?

At that moment, Zhang Chang emerged from the inner room with a dark expression and headed straight towards Sun Tao.

"Zhang Shao."

Zhang Chang strode forward and kicked Sun Tao, who tumbled to the ground in utter disgrace.

"It took me lowering myself to invite him over for a meal, and you messed it up."

"Sun Tao, I’m telling you, you better find a way to apologize. If he doesn’t accept it, your family can wait for bankruptcy."

Zhang Chang spat and left with a flourish.

"Husband."

"Woman, it’s all the trouble you’ve caused."

A few girls at the nearby dining table watched the scene in utter shock. To them, Sun Tao had been an unattainable rich second generation, yet now he was kicked to the ground and didn’t dare utter a peep.

And the Li Feng, who had earlier been belittled by Zhou Yutong as worthless, turned out to be the guest of honor invited by the other party.

Thankfully, they hadn’t spoken out of turn just now; otherwise, they’d have needlessly provoked major trouble.

"Are you angry?"

Wang Jin’er turned to Li Feng, "I’m sorry, I didn’t know that Zhou Yutong would be so sharp and mean."

"I know," Li Feng replied, turning to face Wang Jin’er. "I don’t blame you, but having you receive those disdainful looks, do you feel a bit wronged?"

Wang Jin’er shook her head, "I know all those rumors online aren’t true; you’re not that kind of person. What others think is their business; all I know is that I like you."

Wang Jin’er hugged Li Feng directly.

Li Feng’s expression was a bit complex. After his experience with Zhang Xue, he had already stopped believing in love, so his view of women was just to satisfy physical needs, at most paying some price for their investment.

"Li Feng."

"Hmm?"

Li Feng looked down at Wang Jin’er, who blushed and said, "I bought clothes, do you want to see them?"

Li Feng blinked, this didn’t quite fit the image of a cold, aloof CEO.

"So, you don’t want to see?"

"I do."

"Hmph, I don’t feel like you really want to."

"Are you sure you don’t feel it?"

"Ah!"

Wang Jin’er, her face red and ears hot, pushed Li Feng away, "What are you thinking, we agreed that you’re only allowed to look, not to touch."

Right then, Wang Jin’er’s phone rang. She took it out and answered, glancing at Li Feng.

"Okay."

"I understand, Dad."

After Wang Jin’er stammered through the phone call, Li Feng looked at her, "Your dad?"

"Yeah."

Wang Jin’er nodded.

"What did your dad say?"

"He asked if I was with you, and he said, he wants you to meet him."

"What about the clothes?"

Li Feng suddenly asked, causing Wang Jin’er to stiffen and shoot him a feverish glare, "With everything that’s happening, you’re still thinking about clothes? Shouldn’t you wonder why my dad wants to meet you? He’s come this time to discuss engagement matters with Uncle Li."

"Besides, my dad is absolutely determined to have you as his son-in-law."

Wang Jin’er felt conflicted inside. The better Li Feng performed, the more complicated their arranged marriage became. If Li Feng were just a divorced dad with a child, things might be simpler.

But now, she was starting to find Li Feng inscrutable.

However, the more inscrutable he was, the deeper she fell; curiosity killed the cat was not just an empty saying.

"Joining your family is out of the question, it’s never going to happen in this lifetime."

"You don’t want to marry me?"

"No, I will get your dad to agree to let you marry me."

"My dad won’t budge, unless..." Wang Jin’er bit her lip, hesitating to continue.
