Chapter 344: Wanqiu Xia’s Boyfriend
The next day, Qingfeng Li woke up really early. He looked at the living room and didn’t see Xue Lin. She was too tired from yesterday and was still sleeping.
Since Xue Lin didn’t wake up, the task of cooking naturally became Qingfeng Li’s task.
For the past few days, it was Xue Lin who was cooking so now it was time for him to cook for her.
Qingfeng Li came into the kitchen, took out six eggs, cracked them into a bowl, seasoned it, and started steaming the eggs.
Steamed eggs was an amazing dish, full of nutrition with a soft texture. It was super fitting as a breakfast.
Just when Qingfeng Li finished steaming the eggs, Xue Lin woke up. Seeing how Qingfeng Li was cooking breakfast for her, her face reddened up.
“Sorry honey, I was too tired yesterday and woke up late.” Xue Lin apologized.
Because there wasn’t much time until the marriage, Xue Lin was extremely busy for the past few days. She wanted to finish taking care of everything for the company so she could prepare her marriage wholeheartedly. Yesterday night, she even fell asleep early because of the fatigue.
“Honey don’t get too tired. You’ve been cooking for me for the past few days. It is natural for me to cook for you today.” Qingfeng Li smiled and said.
Their relationship was extremely close, even thinking about each other’s breakfast.
Qingfeng Li’s steamed eggs were super tasty, Xue Lin finished quickly.
After finishing breakfast, Qingfeng Li and Xue Lin drove to work.
When Qingfeng Li arrived at the sales department, everyone was greeting him. He never received any similar treatment before, but now it was different, everyone was trying to please him.
Every salespersons was looking at client information and trying to please the clients, but Qingfeng Li didn’t have to. This was because he just signed a huge client yesterday, Yanzhi Pei, who was Hujiang Province’s richest lady.
The contract between Qingfeng Li and Yanzhi Pei was worth around 200 million. It brought a large amount of revenue for the company, so all employees of the company were extremely respectful towards him.
Wanqiu Xia didn’t come to work today?
Qingfeng Li didn’t see Wanqiu Xia in the department so he was confused. Wanqiu Xia was an extremely dedicated employee, but she didn’t come to work today.
Qingfeng Li asked the person beside him, but they didn’t know where Wanqiu Xia was either. He only knew she asked for a leave.
Qingfeng Li went back to his desk, and was extremely bored. He took out his phone and started playing Candy Crush.
Before when he was playing Candy Crush, he was worried about getting caught by others. But now, he didn’t need to worry anymore because he was the employee who contributed the most to the sales department. Even if he were to play games, no one would say a word.
The whole day passed and Qingfeng Li was only playing games.
When work ended, RINGGG…
Qingfeng Li’s phone rang. He took out the phone and saw it was Wanqiu Xia who called.
“Sister Xia, how come you are calling me?” Qingfeng Li answered with a smile.
Knowing her, she didn’t contact him for a long time. How come she was calling him today.
“Qingfeng Li, do me a favor please.” Wanqiu Xia asked on the other side of the phone.
“What favor, tell me.” Qingfeng Li smiled.
He knew that Wanqiu Xia doesn’t ask him for help normally. Since she called, something must have happened.
“I am in front of the Zhang Hotel, come over.” Wanqiu Xia said.
“Okay, I will be right there.” Qingfeng Li smiled, walked out of the company, and headed towards the Zhang Hotel.
In a bit, he arrived at the Zhang Hotel. The Zhang family is one of the top four families of Eastern Sea City. It was a five-star hotel, being extremely luxurious and high class.
Just when Qingfeng Li arrived, he saw Wanqiu Xia.
Wanqiu Xia had a tender face, perky nose, white skin, and was wearing a white dress. She was like a goddess with a perfect body.
“Sister Xia, what do you need from me today?” Qingfeng Li asked.
“Be my boyfriend for today.” Wanqiu Xia smirked and said.
What, act as your boyfriend?
Qingfeng Li was confused, what was happening. What happened with Wanqiu Xia’s brain? Wanting him to act as her boyfriend, that was right out of the blue.
“Do me a favor, my parents are trying to set me up with a guy today. Act as my boyfriend so I can piss off the guy.” Wanqiu Xia said.
“Alright.” Qingfeng Li nodded and decided he would act as her boyfriend.
After all, Wanqiu Xia had helped him a lot. Him getting into Ice Snow Corporation was because of her as well. Now that she wanted him to act as her boyfriend, of course, he could agree.
In the Ice Snow Corporation, apart from his wife Xue Lin, the two women that helped him the most were Wanqiu Xia and Xiaoyue Zhang.
Hearing that Qingfeng Li accepted the task, Wanqiu Xia became extremely happy. Today her family set her up for a blind date. She didn’t want to go, but she couldn’t reject either. Now that Qingfeng Li agreed to help, she was glad.
“Come on.” Wanqiu Xia smiled and walked inside with Qingfeng Li.
Right now there were already three people inside the number 1 VIP room. There were two middle-aged and one youth.
One of the two men was around 40, dark brows and skinny face. The woman beside him was around 40 as well, with a delicate face. The woman was a bit like Wanqiu Xia, she must be her mother.
The pair were Wanqiu Xia’s parents.
The youth beside them was wearing a designer suit and an Omega watch. From one look, people would know that he was wealthy.
His name was Hua Ma, the manager of Zhang Hotel and a graduate from Jing CityUniversity. He was one of the top students in his major, Business Management.
“Wanqiu, you are late.” Seeing Wanqiu came, Hua Ma stood up, with heat in his eyes.
Regarding Wanqiu Xia, he liked her a lot. He specifically asked Wanqiu Xia’s parents about her, and it led to this blind date.
“Wanqiu, this gentleman is?” Hua Ma’s brows tensed up and asked.
Seeing how this man came in with Wanqiu Xia together, he wasn’t happy. Today was a blind date between him and Wanqiu Xia, he didn’t get why she would bring another man.
“Hua Ma, he is my boyfriend.” Wanqiu Xia pointed Qingfeng Li and said with a laughter.
What, boyfriend?
Hua Ma shook his head with disbelief and said, “Wanqiu I knew you were always single. When did you get a boyfriend? I don’t believe it.”
Hua Ma specifically asked about Wanqiu Xia’s situation for this blind date. Only after he was sure that Wanqiu Xia wasn’t in a relationship, he came to chase after her. How come a boyfriend came into the scenario out of nowhere?
Chapter 345: The Tragic Hua Ma
“Your name is Hua Ma? Wanqiu told me about you before. I am Wanqiu’s boyfriend, so please don’t bother her anymore in the future.” Qingfeng Li smiled and told Hua Ma.
Since he accepted Wanqiu Xia’s task to act as her boyfriend, he naturally needed to help her get rid of this guy.
Furthermore, Qingfeng Li didn’t like this guy. Wanqiu Xia was his sister Xia, a beauty, and there was no way would he allow this guy to take her.
“No way, I won’t believe you are Wanqiu Xia’s boyfriend. You are definitely lying.” Hua Ma shook his head, not believing a thing Qingfeng Li said.
The reason that Hua Ma didn’t believe Qingfeng Li was because Wanqiu Xia’s parents just told him that their daughter wasn’t dating.
“Wanqiu, Hu Ma is an extremely weathy guy and he is the manager of this hotel. You guys fit perfectly.” The father said.
He was Wanqiu Xia’s father. He never saw Qingfeng Li before, so he didn’t believe that he was his daughter’s boyfriend either. Regarding the mother beside them, her face was filled with disbelief as well.
Wanqiu Xia was their daughter and they knew her well. If she were to get a boyfriend, she would tell them but before today, they had never met Qingfeng Li.
“Dad, mom, Qingfeng Li really is my boyfriend.” Seeing how her parents didn’t believe her, Wanqiu Li became nervous.
She didn’t like Hua Ma, so naturally she wouldn’t be his girlfriend. But her parents liked this Hua Ma a lot.
Wanqiu Xia knew the reasons that her parents liked Hua Ma. First, he was the manager of the hotel so he had a high income with a car and a house. Second, he graduated from a well-known university. But the problem was that Wanqiu Xia didn’t like him.
“Wanqiu, let me ask you, Hua Ma is this hotel’s manager, and graduated from Beijing University. Why don’t you like him?” the dad asked.
In his eyes, his daughter and Hua Ma fitted perfectly. Not only were their educations similar, but also their incomes. These two in a relationship together would mean that they will have something to talk about and no financial burden.
In terms of Qingfeng Li, from the way he dressed, he was definitely someone low;y. These kinds of people didn’t have a high income and there was no way he would make his daughter happy.
In the current society, the parents were extremely realistic. When they wanted to find a boyfriend for their daughter, the first thing they looked at was his income. In addition, the most straightforward way was to look at their house, car, income, then education, looks, and height.
Hua Ma, no matter which side you look at, fitted Wanqiu Xia’s parents’ requirements well.
Seeing how even Wanqiu Xia’s parents were talking for him, Hua Ma was extremely happy. He looked down at Qingfeng Li because he was this hotel’s manager.
In Hua Ma’s eyes, he had the money, house, car, and he was the hotel’s manager. He was a lot better off than Qingfeng Li. Only someone wealthy like him could match with some beauty like Wanqiu Xia. Someone like Qingfeng Li did not have the right.
One could only say Hua Ma’s morale has been corroded by money already; he thought that money could achieve everything.
“Hm, how come there is a quarrel coming from VIP room 1?”
Tianci Zhang’s brows tensed up, with a hint of doubt across his eyes. He was here to eat, but what he didn’t think was that there would be quarrel from the VIP room.
He knew that this was the best room of the hotel, and only the highest class can dine here. As the hotel’s president, hearing a quarrel, naturally he was going to check out what was wrong.
Tianci Zhang opened the door of VIP 1. He saw a bunch of people and focused his look because he saw Qingfeng Li, his big brother Li.
A hint of cheerfulness showed up as he walked towards Qingfeng Li.
“President, how come you are here?” Seeing how Tianci Zhang came in, Hua Ma immediately stood up.
Tianci Zhang was the young master of the Zhang Corporation, and the president of this hotel. Hua Ma was only the manager, so naturally he had to salute to the president.
Tianci Zhang ignored Hua Ma and walked to Qingfeng Li, “Big brother Li! How are you doing?”
What, president just called this youth big brother Li. Hua Ma was baffled and his mouth was stretched wide open. One could almost fit a duck egg in there.
Hua Ma was just looking down at Qingfeng Li, thinking that he was someone who was lowly but he didn’t imagine that his boss would call this youth ‘Big brother Li’.
Tianci Zhang was extremely happy; he didn’t think he would see big brother Li tonight.
“Master Zhang, your hotel manager is so good, brave enough to want to steal my girlfriend.” Qingfeng Li looked at Hua Ma and said.
This Hua Ma was looking down at him, and Qingfeng Li obviously felt it. His job today was to help Wanqiu Xia, so naturally he wanted to get rid of this Hua Ma.
Hearing what Qingfeng Li said, Tianci Zhan immediately shouted, “Hua Ma, did you want to chase my brother’s girlfriend?”
“President, I didn’t know Wanqiu Hua was his girlfriend.” Hua Ma’s face changed and tried to explain.
His forehead was full of sweat and he was extremely scared. Unexpectedly he tried to get his boss’s brother’s girlfriend and he didn’t want to die.
“Hua Ma, I am now announcing, as the company’s president, that you are fired. Leave the hotel.” Tianci Zhang looked at Hua Ma with a cold stare.
F*ck, Hua Ma should just go kill himself; offending my big brother Li. Who was big brother Li? He was Tianci’s lord and savior. Without big brother Li, he wouldn’t be where he was right now.
Even if big brother Li wanted this hotel, Tianci Zhang would give it to him without any thoughts.
“President, please give me another chance.” Hua Ma’s face changed and begged.
Facing Hua Ma’s begging, Tianci Zhang only said, “F*ck off!”
Hua Ma’s face went pale. He knew he just offended his boss’s big brother Li. The president wouldn’t forgive him.
Hua Ma walked outside soullessly.
His heart was filled with bitterness and regret. He didn’t think he would fail to get the girl and even lose his job.
“Hi uncle and auntie, I am the president of Zhang Corporation. Qingfeng Li is my big brother, so let me give a toast.” Tianci Zhang took up his glass, toasting to Wanqiu Xia’s parents.
“President Zhang, please don’t. You are the hotel’s president, we can’t bear your toast.” The father was nervous.
Being a citizen of Eastern Sea City, naturally he knew who Tianci Zhang was. He was the young master of the top four cities of Eastern Sea City, the president of this hotel. A president was toasting him, so he felt nervous, but also excited.
Chapter 346: Ruyan Liu’s Mother
“Uncle, let me tell you the truth, big brother Li is my savior. I am his little brother. If he wanted, I would give him this hotel.” Tianci Zhang pointed to Qingfeng Li and said.
Tianci Zhang was smart. The reason he wanted to toast and saying that he would give Qingfeng Li this hotel was to let them know how strong Qingfeng Li truly was.
As expected, after hearing what Tianci Zhang said, the middle-age man’s face changed. He didn’t think the youth that he looked down on was the brother of Zhang Family’s young master.
“Wanqiu, I allow you to date Qingfeng.” The man smiled and said.
He was planning to find someone good for his daughter, and now that Qingfeng Li was even better than Hua Ma, naturally he would agree for them to date.
Because of the occurrence of Tianci Zhang, the relationship between the two got accepted by the parents.
Tianci Zhang treated everyone to the meal because of Qingfeng Li. He continued to pour Qingfeng Li tea, acting like a small brother. This made Wanqiu Xia’s parents shocked about Qingfeng Li’s status. They were extremely satisfied with Qingfeng Li.
Being the older brother of Zhang Family’s young master, his status for sure wasn’t low.
After the meal, Qingfeng Li stood up to leave and Wanqiu Xia personally walked him out.
“Qingfeng Li, thank you so much today for getting rid of Hua Ma for me.” Outside of the hotel, Wanqiu Xia told Qingfeng Li.
She was extremely thankful. Without Qingfeng Li she probably had to date with Hua Ma.
Wanqiu Xia knew she wasn’t young anymore, her parents were always worried about her marriage. They wanted to find someone fitting for her, and Hua Ma was that someone, but Wanqiu Xia didn’t like him. Fortunately Qingfeng Li was better than Hua Ma, so the parents now liked Qingfeng Li.
“Sister Xia, you helped me so much, so me helping you is normal.”
“Qingfeng, whatever you say, sister Xia has to thank you today.”
“Sister Xia, I am your boyfriend, I am going to collect my perks.” Qingfeng Li smirked. He grabbed Wanqiu Xia’s waist, with her screaming, and kissed her.
Wanqiu Xia’s mouth was sweet and soft and it felt nice to kiss her.
Qingfeng Li only stopped after Wanqiu Xia ran out of breadth. After releasing her body, he stopped a taxi and left.
“Baddie.” Seeing Qingfeng Li leaving, Wanqiu Xia’s face reddened up and her eyes were filled with shyness.
Even thought Qingfeng Li just kissed her, Wanqiu Xia was still a little bit happy; in her heart, she was even looking forward to it.
Like the saying goes, girls liked bad boys. Boys had to be brave when chasing girls; don’t be scared to kiss the girl. (TL: if you are ever arrested don’t say that you got your advice from this novel)
After half an hour, Qingfeng Li arrived back at Noble Palace and walked towards villa 14.
Ruyan Liu was sick for the past few days, so naturally, he had to visit her.
Ka!
Qingfeng Li took out his keys and opened Ruyan villa’s door. He saw a lady sitting on the sofa.
The lady was around 40 years old, with a delicate face, perky nose, white skin. She was extremely well maintained and almost looked like someone in her 30s.
She was wearing an expensive purple mink, green jade bracelet, and a Chanel scarf. A lady with expensive tastes, Qingfeng remarked.
Who was this woman?
Qingfeng Li’s brows tensed. He was onfused because he doesn’t know this lady. He used to come over to Ruyan’s home a lot, but had never seen her.
“Who are you, and how did you come in?” The lady was surprised.
It had to be said, this lady’s mentality was strong. Even seeing a complete stranger, she still had a strong tone.
Qingfeng Li held up the keys in his hands and said, “Of course with keys, and who are you. Why are you in Ruyan’s home?”
Ruyan, this man just called Ruyan?
The lady’s face changed and with a flash of coldness, she said, “Who are you to say the name Ruyan. Who gave you permission to come in? Leave now.”
Hearing what the lady said, Qingfeng Li was pissed. This is Ruyan’s home, who are you to tell me to leave.
Qingfeng Li smirked and said, “Who are you to make me leave?”
“I am Ruyan Liu’s mother, is this status enough?” The lady said, looking down at him.
The lady’s goal was to bring Ruyan Liu back to Jing City, and they even argued because of it.
She was extremely pissed, trying to hold her anger. Now seeing Qingfeng Li coming into the living room, naturally, she wouldn’t like him, wanted him to leave.
What, mother of Ruyan Liu?
Qingfeng Li was baffled. He couldn’t imagine that this lady was Ruyan Liu’s mother.
Qingfeng Li focused his glare and looked at the lady. She did seem like Ruyan Liu.
His face was ill. If it was other women, he wouldn’t leave. If they were to piss him off, he only had to kick them. But this lady is Ruyan Liu’s mother, so obviously, he couldn’t kick her.
After hearing noises, Ruyan Liu came out from the kitchen and asked, “Qingfeng, why are you here?”
“You got a cold yesterday, I am here to check up on you.” Qingfeng Li smiled.
“It’s okay, I am well now.” Ruyan Liu smiled and said quietly.
The lady on the sofa looked at Ruyan Liu and asked, “Daughter, who is this man?”
She felt that her daughter was close with this man. This didn’t make her feel well, or even a bit disgusted because her daughter’s fiancé was Shaoyang Wang. Her goal this time was to bring her daughter back to Jing City and marry him.
Hearing her mother’s questioning, Ruyan Liu panicked. How should I explain the relationship between us?
Boyfriend, no, I can’t say this. If I were to say Qingfeng Li was my boyfriend, my mother would find someone to kill him.
Oh yes, normal friend, just say a normal friend. Ruyan Liu thought of explaining as a normal friend.
“Mother, his name is Qingfeng Li, just a friend.” Ruyan Liu’s eye lashes blinked and explained to her mom.
The lady’s eyes were obviously filled with doubt.
If this youth was really just a normal friend, then how come he had the keys to the villa. Only close friends and relatives would have the keys.
They lady looked at Qingfeng Li with disgust; trying to see through the youth.
Chapter 347: The Arrogant Mother-In-Law
Facing the lady’s glare, Qingfeng Li just stood there without any expression.
Qingfeng Li met England’s Queen and Denmark’s princess. Compared to these characters, this lady was actually on par.
Qingfeng Li knew; this lady wasn’t someone so plain. She had an extremely big background. In Huaxia she was someone big as well.
“Qingfeng, I just finished cooking. Come in and eat a bit.” Ruyan Liu smiled and said.
Ruyan Liu knew, since her mother already saw Qingfeng Li, it would be too late to hide it. Since it was too late, then she might as well invite him in; she already said he was just his friend.
Qingfeng Li blinked at Ruyan Liu. It meant: your mother is here, is it convenient for me to come in?
Ruyan Liu nodded, meaning yes. This was code between the two.
Seeing Qingfeng Li entering the living room, the lady was dissatisfied, but since her daughter already said this man was her friend, she couldn’t do anything to embarrass her.
Because her mother came, Ruyan Liu cooked eight dishes and two soups. These eight dishes had both meat and veggies. The meat included duck, chicken, fish, and shrimp. The veggies included cabbage, broccoli, black fungus. The soup included tomatoes egg drop soup and meat soup.
As a daughter, Ruyan Liu gave enough respect to her mom; personally cooking so many dishes.
There were only three people on the table, Qingfeng Li, Ruyan Liu, the lady. Jiajiao Liu wasn’t home.
“Qingfeng, let me introduce you. This is my mom Xifeng Zhang and you can call her aunty Zhang.” Ruyan Liu smiled and said.
Xifeng Zhang?
Qingfeng Li tensed his brows. Just from hearing her name he knew she wasn’t someone to mess around with.
<The Dream of Red Chamber> had a character named Xifeng Wang. She was ferocious. This lady’s name was Xifeng Zhang. Even though their last names were different, the last two characters were the same so she mustn’t be messed with either.
“Hi, Aunty Zhang.” Qingfeng Li smiled and greeted her.
Even though he didn’t like this lady that much, she was Ruyan Liu’s mother. As Ruyan Liu’s partner, he had to show a bit of respect.
Facing Qingfeng Li’s greeting, the lady only nodded without saying anything. She obviously didn’t treat him seriously.
But after some thought, this was normal. The lady was the mistress of one of Jing City’s four head families. Her worth was in the hundreds of millions, and obviously wouldn’t put someone like Qingfeng Li in mind.
Seeing how her mother wasn’t taking Qingfeng Li seriously, Ruyan Liu’s eyes were filled with apology. She knew that her mother was extremely arrogant.
“Ruyan, you are sick. You should eat more.” Qingfeng Li picked up a piece of chicken and left it in Ruyan Liu’s bowl.
Ruyan Liu smiled. Qingfeng Li giving her dishes made her extremely happy.
Flirting, these two are flirting. Xifeng Zhang’s brows tensed up; her eyes became cold.
Her daughter was the daughter of a family that was worth hundreds of millions, how could she befriend someone so plain. She decided to ask the youth some questions.
“Little Feng, can I call you this?” Xifeng Zhang smiled and asked.
“Of course, Aunty Zhang you are the elder, you can call me whatever you want.” Qingfeng Li answered back.
He was a bit confused, the lady was ignoring him, why did she start talking to him all of a sudden.
It wasn’t feeling right. Whatever the lady going to ask, it wasn’t something good.
As expected, the lady asked, “Little Feng, where do you work.”
I knew you were going to ask this. Qingfeng Li was depressed, but still answered, “I worked at the Ice Snow Corporation.”
Ice Snow Corporation?
She shook her head because she never heard of it. The companies she normally contacted with were all worth more than a couple billion. Her own business was worth a couple billion too so naturally, she had never heard of the Ice Snow Corporation.
Seeing how her mother never heard of the company, Ruyan Liu explained, “The Ice Snow Corporation is a jewelry company in Eastern Sea City, worth hundreds of millions.”
Hundred of millions?
After hearing this number, Xifeng Zhang’s brows tensed up. For her, hundreds of million were just a couple of dollars, nothing worth mentioning.
Working at a company that small, what future was there even if you were the president of it.
“Little Feng, what is your job at the company? President, or CEO?” Xifeng Zhang asked, her tone became cold.
“Aunty Zhang, I work at the sales department. I am a salesperson.” Qingfeng Li answered.
Salesperson, just a salesperson. Xifeng Zhang’s face immediately became cold. Her eyes were filled with despise.
If the young man in front of him were to be the president or CEO, Xifeng Zhang would say a bit more. But after hearing he was just a salesperson, she was too lazy to say anything.
A company’s salesperson, the lowest of the low. Extremely low wages, in the range of just a couple thousand, and this status was too low in the lady’s eyes as well.
Xifeng Zhang looked at Qingfeng Li coldly, feeling angry. Her daughter is the daughter of Jing City’s Liu Family; no way could she befriend a salesperson. If people were to know, they would mock her. She could not be embarrassed.
In the Jing City Liu’s family, there was one rule: you cannot step into the family’s door if you aren’t worth more than a billion.
“Qingfeng Li, do you know who my daughter is?” Xifeng Zhang said coldly. She was no longer saying little Feng.
When someone said the full name of another, this meant that they were looking down at them; it was an act of disrespect.
“Your daughter, her name is Ruyan Liu, and she is my friend. This is all I need to know.” Qingfeng Li said plainly.
Even though the Liu family was extremely strong, Qingfeng Li didn’t take it seriously because he was the Wolf King, the number one of the underworld.
No matter how strong your family is, in front of absolute strength, it will get demolished.
In the Wolf Continent, there was some powerful family that offended Qingfeng Li, but they were all abolished by him with the Wolf Fang team.
“Qingfeng Li, let me tell you. My daughter is the daughter of the top four families of Jing City, daughter of Liu Family. Do you know the Liu Family? It is Huaxia’s best of the best family, worth billions of Yuan. I don’t think you have the right to befriend my daughter.” Xifeng Zhang smirked and said with arrogance.
Xifeng Zhang was extremely arrogant towards the young man; she was looking down at him.
Chapter 348: Looking Down Upon Qingfeng
“Aunt Liu, money is not related to friendship. So what if the Liu Family is rich? Does that mean I cannot be friends with her?” Qingfeng said with a frown as his voice turned cold.
Since the lady before him looked down at him, naturally Qingfeng would not give her a good attitude as well.
Furthermore, even though he was upset by her arrogance, he did not show it since she was Ruyan Liu’s mother.
“Let me tell you, a salesperson like this is unworthy of being a friend of my daughter,” Xifeng Zhang said with a cold smile.
The Liu Family was an extremely powerful family in the Capital. Their friends were extremely rich, powerful and influential. How could an ordinary person like Qingfeng be her daughter’s friend? He was unworthy.
“I am looked down upon,” thought Qingfeng. A flash of anger appeared in his eyes.
If the lady before him was not Ruyan Liu’s mother, he would have slapped her across the face but he could not do that since she was Ruyan Liu’s mother.
How would he face Ruyan Liu if he hit her mother?
“Aunt Zhang, I respect you because you are Ruyan’s mother. However, this does not mean you can look down up on. I want to tell you, there are some people in the world you should not anger,” Qingfeng said with a cold smile. His eyes had turned icy.
He really detested women like Aunt Zhang. He especially disliked the way she looked at him as if he was nothing. If Ruyan Liu was not standing next to her, he would have slapped her across the face.
“Young man, everyone knows how to boast. If my daughter is a princess, you would be a beggar. A princess would never become friends with a beggar,” The lady said coldly.
As the mistress of the Liu Family, no one dared to provoke her. Xifeng Zhang was extremely dissatisfied with the attitude of the young man before her.
Ruyan Liu could not withstand it any longer. She said, “Mother, Qingfeng Li is my friend. Please don’t insult my friend.”
Friend? Xifeng Wang smiled coldly and said, “Ruyan, let me tell you. Qingfeng Li does not deserve to be your friend. I won’t approve it.”
“Mother, it does not matter if you approve of it but you can’t look down upon him,” Ruyan Liu’s seductive face became angry. She was very unhappy with her mother.
“Ruyan, how could you reprimand your mother for Qingfeng Li.”
“Mother, you are in the wrong. Why can’t I speak up?”
“You disrespectful child. How could you reprimand your mother for an outsider? Oh I am so angry,” Xifeng Zhang reprimanded Ruyan Liu darkly.
One must know, Huaxia cared the most about the filial piety. Xifeng Zhang’s words hurt Ruyan Liu deeply.
The mother and daughter usually had a good relationship but they had started quarreling because of Qingfeng.
Qingfeng was touched when he saw Ruyan Liu quarreling with her mother because of him. This woman was willing to quarrel with her mother to defend him!
However, Qingfeng did not want the mother and daughter to fight because of him.
“Ruyan, don’t fight with your mother. Since she does not welcome me, I will leave now,” Qingfeng said with a faint smile to Ruyan Liu.
“Hmph, at least you are sensible. Remember this, do not contact my daughter anymore. You are not worthy of it,” Xifeng Zhang snorted coldly as she looked at Qingfeng with disdain.
For some reason, she was unhappy whenever she saw Qingfeng. His face remembered her of someone.
“Mother, why did you ban Qingfeng from contacting me?” There was fire in Ruyan Liu’s eyes. She was furious at her mother.
“He is only a salesperson. He is not worthy to be your friend,” Xifeng Zhang said coldly while casting Qingfeng a look of disdain.
For a lady like herself, only people who belonged to a billionaire family was worthy to be friends with her daughter.
“Mother, Qingfeng is the successor to the Li Family of the Capital. How is he not qualified to be my friend?” Ruyan Liu said with a light frown as she disclosed Qingfeng’s identity.
If her mother did not agree with their relationship because of Qingfeng’s identity, she should approve if he was the successor the Li Family?
The successor of the Li Family?
Xifeng Zhang said with a cold smile, “Ruyan, the successor of the Li family is Wuqing Li, when did it become Qingfeng Li?”
In the Capital, everyone knew that the successor of the Li Family was “Wuqing Li”. He was the son of the current head of the Li Family. He was not only capable, he was also coldblooded and merciless.
When she saw that her mother did not believer her, Ruyan Liu explanined, “Qingfeng is not the son of the current head. He is the son of the Third Master of the Li Family.”
What? Was he the son of the Third Master of the Li Family?
Xifeng Zhang was stunned. She could not imagine that the young man before her was the son of the Third Master of the Li Family.
Everyone in the capital knew of the Third Master of the Li Family. He was an extraordinary character.
The third Master of the Li Family was the third son. 20 years ago, he was a legendary character of the Capital. He defeated the four young masters of the Capital and conquered the entire northern Huaxia. He was known as the “The great conqueror”.
Throughout history, the only man who could be known as “The great conqueror” was the powerful hero, Xiang Yu.
It was a testament to the Third Master’s strength for him to earn the title of “The great conqueror”.
It was said that he used a single fist to defeat the four young masters of the Capital City. The four masters were the most outstanding members of their families but they could not hold up against his fist.
After that, the Third Master of the Li Family singlehandedly conquered the northern 18 provinces and earned the respect of countless people.
The great conqueror’s power shook the entire Huaxia.
However, 20 years ago, his wife disappeared. He also disappeared to look for his wife. His life and death was unknown from then on.
Xifeng Zhang looked carefully at Qingfeng and realized that he heavily resembled the Third Master of the Li Family. She had also heard from her family that the son of Third Master was back. However, he did not return to the Li Family, instead, he went to Eastern Sea City.
At this moment, she was convinced that Ruyan Liu was speaking the truth. Qingfeng Li was the son of the Third Master of the Li Family.
She also understood why she disliked him when she saw his face. That was because he was the son of the Third Master of the Li Family.
She had mixed feelings towards the Third Master of the Li Family. When she was young, she pursued the Third Master but she was rejected by him. This caused her to detest him.
Chapter 349: Teaching the Mother-In-Law a Lesson
Ruyan Liu did not know about her mother’s past. She thought that if she revealed Qingfeng’s identity, her mother would allow her to contact Qingfeng. But she did not realize that her mother became even more displeased when she knew of Qingfeng’s identity.
Xifeng Zhang became more unhappy at the thought that Qingfeng was the son of the Third Master of the Li Family.
Back then, she confessed her love for him in front of everyone but she was rejected. It was the most humiliating moment in her life.
“Please leave, Qingfeng Li. Do not contact my daughter anymore,” Xifeng Zhang said coldly to Qingfeng. Her eyes were filled with complex emotions.
“Aunty Zhang, even thought you are Ruyan Liu’s mother, it is none of your business if I contact her,” Qingfeng said with a light smile. He did not take her words to heart at all.
Why should I listen to your words?
“Qingfeng Li, even though you are the son of the Third Master of the Li Family, but the head of the Li household is your Uncle. You were already given up by the Li Family. If I speak plainly, you are a disowned dog.”
She knew that the three brothers of the Li Family did not get along well at all. A rule was broken when the Old Master Li had chosen the Third Master as his successor
Why was a rule broken? Well, Third Master was the third son of the Elder. The successor should traditionally be the eldest son, not the third son.
But the Third Master was too famous and too strong so he had the support of many members of the Li Family. Old Master Li was prepared to annul his first son and appoint Third Master as the successor.
But just before the appointment, Third Master disappeared. His fate was unknown.
Old Master Li was deeply traumatized by Third Master’s disappearance. He became gravely ill and could only appoint his eldest son, the oldest Master, as the head of household.
After the First Master became the head of the household, he kicked out everyone who was loyal to the Third master.
If it was not for Old Master Li, Qingfeng might not be alive today.
Now that Old Master Li had passed away, there was no way that the members of the Li Family would let Qingfeng go easily.
Fengxi Zhang believed that the Li Family would teach Qingfeng a lesson soon. He was an outcast of the family.
If the Third Master was still alive, perhaps Xifeng Zhang would allow Qingfeng to contact her daughter. But the Third Master had disappeared and might even be dead.
Furthermore, Third Master had established too many enemies back in the day. His enemies would not let Qingfeng go easily.
“Aunt Zhang, I just want to tell you, the four families of the Capital are nothing in my eyes. If they anger me, I will exterminate them,” Qingfeng said proudly with killing intent.
Blood will flow when the Wolf King is angered. Xifeng Zhang took a fearful step back. Her face became ghastly pale.
Xifeng Zhang suddenly remembered that this young man was the Third Master’s son. How could he be an ordinary character?
But Xifeng Zhang knew that no matter how strong Qingfeng was, he was no match for those enemies. The enemies of Third Master Li were all the stars of a generation; they were only suppressed by the Third Master.
Qingfeng glanced lightly at Xifeng Zhang and walked proudly out of the mansion.
He had already told Xifeng Zhang that if anyone from the four families dared to anger him, he would exterminate the family. As for his father’s enemies, he did not care if they were the heroes of a generation or an extraordinary fighter. If anyone approached him, he would kill them.
Xifeng Zhang looked at Qingfeng’s figure with a complicated expression. She felt like she had seen the legendary and all-powerful Third Master again.
“Ruyan, come back to the Capital with me tomorrow,” Xifeng Zhang said lightly to Ruyan Liu.
“Mother, give me a few days. I don’t want to go back now,” Ruyan Liu said as she shook her head.
She did not want to return. She knew that if once left Eastern Sea City, she could never come back. The Capital was a cage which would heavily constrain her.
“Ruyan, it is almost time for your marriage with Shaoyang Wang. We can’t delay it any longer,” Xifeng Zhang said.
Even though she was Ruyan Liu’s mother, she was also the mistress of the Liu Family. She had to consider for the family as well; Liu Family was the weakest family of the four families.
This was especially true in recent years. The Liu Family had weakened tremendously and was about to be abandoned by the other three families. Thus, the head of the Liu Family wanted to form an alliance with the Wang Family as they were the strongest family.
The Wang Family was very strong. They were the most powerful family in the Capital as they had a close relationship with Dragon King. Some said that the Dragon King was a member of the Wang Family, but this was unconfirmed.
“Ruyan, I will give you one day. You need to leave me with the day after tomorrow,” Xifeng Zhang said lightly.
“Alright, I will leave with you the day after tomorrow,” Ruyan Liu said bitterly.
She had already turned down her mother many times. She knew that she could not turn her down anymore. Her mother would become suspicious. If she knew about her relationship with Qingfeng, Qingfeng would be in trouble.
Ruyan Liu knew that tomorrow would be her last day in Eastern Sea City and the last day she could see Qingfeng. After tomorrow, she would leave this place that she cherished.
…
At the moment, in Western Sea City, Western Sea Mansion.
Aotian Wang sat on the sofa. His expression was dark as he had just received information that Shuang Wang and Ying Wang were both dead.
Aotian Wang was in a bad mood. He had ordered Shuang Wang and Ying Wang to kill Qingfeng before he left for the Capital. He did not expect to receive their death news when he returned.
“Elder Wang, have we found out who killed them?” Aotian Wang said darkly to the Elder behind him.
“Underground Prince, yes we have. They were killed by Qingfeng,” The Elder in a black robe said lightly. His tone was not respectful. He was the strongest Elder, he was a Level AAA fighter.
“Elder Wang, Qingfeng should die. Also, my cousin wants me to conquer ES City in three days. Do you think we will run into any difficulties?” Aotian Wang asked.
“Underground Prince, that is not a problem. We can conquer ES City any moment,” The Elder said confidently. For a powerful fighter like him, conquering the underground forces of ES City was a piece of cake.
“Very good. Elder Wang, gather your subordinates. We will conquer ES City tomorrow and kill Qingfeng Li,” Aotian Wang said coldly will killer intent.
