My Cold and Elegant CEO Wife - Chapter 374

Chapter 374: Qingfeng’s Going to Jing Capital City

“Jiaojiao, why did you hit me?” Hai Lin complained, while rubbing his aching head.The girl in front was his dream girl, how could she hit him?”You are the idiot I want to hit, why did you call Qingfeng Li brother-in-law?” said Jiaojiao Liu angrily, her rage was beyond description.Qingfeng Li was her brother-in-law, how could Hai Lin the idiot call him brother-in-law? It made sense that Jiaojiao Liu was going to hit him, since what he did just provoked her.Hai Lin looked at Jiaojiao Liu with a bitter face, he thought he was quite smart, but everyone else calls him an idiot. It really upset him that both his father and brother-in-law said he was stupid, and what made it worse was that Jiaojiao Liu, the girl he liked, thought he was stupid as well.”Am I really stupid? That’s impossible, I am very smart. They are just jealous.” Hai Lin cheered himself on in his mind.However, if Qingfeng Li heard what was in Hai Lin’s mind just now, he would laugh and call him an idiot.”I didn’t say anything wrong, Jiaojiao. Xue Lin is my sister, then Qingfeng Li is my brother-in-law.” There was something wrong with Hai Lin’s mind, he was still not able to figure out what was going on after getting slapped on the face.Bang!As soon as Hai Lin finished talking, Jiaojiao Liu slapped Hai Lin so hard on the face again that half his head went numb.”What did you slap me Jiaojiao?””Idiot, Qingfeng Li is my brother-in-law, you are not allowed to call him that.””Fine Jiaojiao, I’ll do whatever you say. Qingfeng Li is your brother-in-law, I won’t call him that again.” Hai Lin said slightly so that he wouldn’t get slapped again, and for the purpose to make Jiaojiao Liu happy.After hearing what Hai Lin said, satisfaction finally showed up on Jiaojiao Liu’s face, the ice in her eyes slowly melted. She felt she had won, since she called Qingfeng Li brother-in-law, which meant that Qingfeng was her elder sister Ruyan Liu’s man.Hai Lin was an idiot. In Jiaojiao Liu’s opinion, Hai Lin wasn’t only an idiot, but also a dumbass. He agreed not to call Qingfeng Li brother-in-law, then it meant he admitted that his elder sister wasn’t Qingfeng Li’s woman.Jiaojiao Liu thought that although her sister Ruyan Liu lost to Xue Lin temporarily, she just defeated Xue Lin’s brother, who was an idiot.Qingfeng Li got really embarrassed stuck between them and heard the awkward conversation. He wished that he could kick Hai Lin, for being such an idiot. He wouldn’t even care if this girl sold him out as long as he could make her happy.”Brother-in-law, oh no, Jiaojiao doesn’t want me to call you that. How about calling you big brother Li? Big brother Li, can you please let me be your younger brother?” Hai Lin stared at Qingfeng Li with his puppy eyes, trying to show how much he was longing for.Pa!Qingfeng Li smacked Hai Lin’s head, but that still couldn’t release all the anger inside of him. Qingfeng Li was crawling in his mind, “You are not going to call me brother-in-law just because Jiaojiao Liu asked you not to? You idiot!””Why did you smack me, big brother Li?””I don’t take stupid brothers.””Big brother Li, I am not as stupid as you think. Lots people say I’m quite smart.” To be honest, Hai Lin thought he just proved how smart he was, as he stopped calling Qingfeng Li brother-in-law as soon as Jiaojiao Liu asked him to, instead, he started to call him big brother Li.Qingfeng Li didn’t want to waste more time on Hai Lin. He turned to Jiaojiao Liu and said, “Let’s go, let your brother-in-law invite you for a meal,”Jiaojiao Liu wasn’t willing to go, but her hand was already held by Qingfeng Li and pulled towards the doorway.”How can big brother Li hold Jiaojiao’s hand?” Hai Lin’s face turned downcast, his eyes showed he wasn’t comfortable with that.Obviously, it made Hai Lin feel uncomfortable since his dream girl, his goddess was held by another man. However, he rested assured very shortly thinking of the fact that Qingfeng Li wouldn’t have feelings for Jiaojiao Liu since he was her brother-in-law.By the way, he said they were going for a meals!”Wait for me!” yelled Hai Lin and started running to catch up with them.Qingfeng Li grabbed Jiaojiao Liu’s tiny hand as walking out of the classroom for a meal. However, Hai Lin was following them like a sticky candy that he never got rid off. Therefore, Qingfeng Li had to let him follow, but he refused to give him a good attitude.”Jiaojiao, why did you call big brother Li brother-in-law?” Hai Lin asked Jiaojiao as if he was a curious baby.Jiaojiao Liu rolled her eyes, said, “My elder sister is his girlfriend, thus he is my brother-in-law.””I don’t think so Jiaojiao, a man can only have one wife. Big brother Li is my sister Xue Lin’s husband. How can your sister be his girlfriend? Don’t tell me your sister is the third wheel?” said Hai Lin with his eyebrows twisted.Although he was stupid, he still knew that every man could only have one wife in Huaxia. They weren’t living in the ancient times when men were allowed to have multiple wives. What Hai Lin knew was that nowadays, many women would be willing to be the lady at the side just for the sake of money. He wasn’t sure if Jiaojiao Liu’s elder sister was one of them.Pa!Pa!Jiaojiao Liu and Qingfeng Li both slapped Hai Lin on the head after hearing his guess.”You dumbass, how could you call my sister the third wheel? Are you looking for trouble?” Jiaojiao Liu said fiercely while giving Hai Lin a hard slap.There was no way for this idiot to learn his lesson, he deserved the slap for calling her sister the lady on the side. Jiaojiao Liu felt that her state of mind would be affected if she spent more time with this idiot.Qingfeng Li gave Hai Lin a tough slap on the head as well, he yelled, “What are you talking about, you idiot?”How could Qingfeng Li not get mad hearing Hai Lin indirectly call Ruyan Liu the side chick. He knew she wasn’t, since she had no idea that he was married when they were together.In the end, it was all Qingfeng Li’s fault. Xue Lin and him got the marriage certificate. However, she didn’t want to sleep with him even though he had his needs. He met Ruyan Liu after and had feelings for her, so he slept with her since she wanted to do that as well. Therefore, Ruyan Liu was the victim.”Why did both of you hit my head? What if I become stupid?” Hai Lin felt quite upset getting slapped from two persons at one time.He didn’t understand why both of them would slap him even though he was telling the truth. He had a smart brain, what would he do if it got damaged?Qingfeng Li didn’t bother talking to Hai Lin anymore. He was afraid he would become stupid too if he kept talking to Hai Lin. It confused him thinking of how stupid and dumb Hai Lin was while he had such a smart sister Xue Lin.Qingfeng Li brought Jiaojiao Liu to a restaurant. They ordered four dishes and two soups. Hai Lin insisted on eating with them. However, Qingfeng Li was only talking to Jiaojiao on the table.
After the meal, Qingfeng Li walked Jiaojiao Liu back to the university. Then he headed to the antique market.Qingfeng Li was going to Li family in Jing City tomorrow to deliver the wedding invitation. There was an idea in his mind, he wanted to visit Ruyan Liu as he missed her a lot. The reason he was on the way to the antique market was to get a gift, a gift for Ruyan Liu if he could have the chance to see her tomorrow in Jing Capital City.

Chapter 375: Buying A Gift for Ruyan Liu

Qingfeng arrived at the Sky Garden Antique Market soon. It was the largest antique market in the ES City which occupied a hundred thousand square meters and was clustered with thousands of antique shops. Antiques, calligraphy, paintings, and porcelain beads were all along the street.

Qingfeng still clearly remembered he came here with Ruyan last time since she liked rock gambling. At that time, Ruyan pushed Qingfeng to come with her. Yet, Qingfeng won a Emperor Green Jade, sold it out for a billion, and also got to know Yunchang Xu.

However, Qingfeng came to the Antique Market only by himself, instead of with Ruyan, this time.

He felt quite lonely while walking along the antique market. Thinking about the moments he spent with Ruyan, Qingfeng felt so heart-broken.

People would only cherish the one that left and regret what they did when the one was no longer there.

Qingfeng recalled the scene when he arrived at the airport and wished he could have gone to the airport earlier and seen Ruyan before she left. He was thinking he might have changed her decision once he kissed and hugged her. Qingfeng regretted so much and felt so sad and lonely.

At this point, a song called “I felt so lonely without you” was playing in an antique shop.

Neon lights in the city light up the darkness but not the loneliness in my heart. Midnight and days keep switching while I was wandering in the street alone…I miss you again, where are you now? I feel so lonely without you…

This sad ballad played from the shop made Qingfeng stop his step while feeling more alone.

Anyone who has never experienced this pain would never know. The feeling of falling in love and separation would only break the hearts of those who lost their significant other. It was a deep devastation and loneliness.

Qingfeng started to approach the antique shop which was playing the song. He wondered what the shop looked like as the song has touched his feeling.

This was a small antique store that had only twenty square meters, yet, it had almost everything you needed, such as jade, calligraphy, copper coins, porcelain, bracelets and pendants.

The owner was a girl. She was wearing a white dress and her skin was as fair as snow. She had an oval, slim face and cherry-like lips. Her eyes were as clear as a lake which purified all the filth in the world.

She also had a good body shape. Her dress was tightened because of her chest yet her waist and legs were slim and delicious.

Lingxiu Xu, that’s her name. She was no one else but the granddaughter of Yunchang Xu, the director of the Antique Department.

Lingxiu smiled with surprise when she saw Qingfeng walk into her store, “Brother Li, you came here?!”

Since Qingfeng was still immersed in the loneliness of the song, he felt shocked by the sudden voice he heard once he looked up and saw Lingxiu was talking to him.

“Lingxiu, what brought you here?” Qingfeng asked amazedly.

He felt so confused seeing Lingxiu here since he thought she was supposed to be with her grandfather.

“Brother Li, I just opened this new antique store. My grandpa told me to learn more about the world of antiques,” Lingxiu stuck her tongue out and said with a smile.

In the antique world, simply knowing the theories was far not enough, you are required to have solid practice, which was being in touch with more antiques. One’s knowledge of antique would increase drastically once they saw more various antiques.

“Yes, your grandpa is right. Getting in touch with more antiques would help you gain more knowledge about this field,” Qingfeng nodded as he totally agreed what Yunchang said.

“Brother Li, what brings you to the Antique Market, though?” Lingxiu asked while blinking.

To be honest, it’s been a while since she saw Qingfeng. The reason why she played the song was because she started to miss him, yet, she didn’t expect the song really brought in Qingfeng.

Was it what they called destiny? Lingxiu’s face blushed while she was peeking at Qingfeng.

“Lingxiu, I am thinking of buying something.”

“Sure, Brother Li, what are you thinking? Is it for yourself or a gift for somebody else?”

“It’s for somebody else.”

“For a guy or a woman.”

“It’s for a woman,” Qingfeng smiled and said. He felt Lingxiu was acting like a old woman by asking so many questions.

Yet, Qingfeng had no clue that a woman would only keep asking you if they have interest in you. Otherwise, they wouldn’t be bothered at all.

Lingxiu suddenly became sad once she heard Qingfeng buying antique for a woman. Though, she knew she could not do anything since she wasn’t her wife nor his girlfriend. It was none of her business.

Wake up, Lingxiu. It’s not your business that Qingfeng is buying another woman a gift. What are you jealous about, huh? Lingxiu started to scold her negativity in her mind.

“Qingfeng, what antique are you thinking of? A bracelet, pendant, or wristlet?” Lingxiu asked as she had all of those in the store.

Qingfeng thought for a while, and said, “I’m getting a pendant then.”

“For pendants, we have amber, incense wood, glass, crystal, jade, gold, and silver. Which one do you prefer?” Lingxiu explained to Qingfeng while pointing around her store.

Qingfeng looked carefully and found that there were, indeed, so many pendants of different materials, colors and styles. He felt content that he made the right choice stepping into Lingxiu’s store. You got everything related to antiques in Yunchang’s granddaughter’s store.Qingfeng took a cursory glance and found that the crystal and glass were too low in quality, the gold and silver were outdated, and jade was too common. He was looking for one that could fit Ruyan’s characteristics.

After thinking for a while, Qingfeng decided to choose the incense wood pendant since it had a beneficial effect on beauty, health and an anti-aging aspect.

Certainly, lots of incense wood pendant were knock-offs on the market. Qingfeng looked carefully and found all the incense wood pendants in Lingxiu’s store were authentic. Undoubtedly, she brought out all her authentic antiques from her house in this store.

While Qingfeng was selecting incense wood pendant precisely, a young man walked in and started to yell, “Who’s the boss here? You sold me a knock-off product, give me a refund.”

This young man had a loud voice that everyone suddenly gathered at the store once they heard there were false products. People in Huaxia liked to see dramas.

Knock-off?Lingxiu changed her expression once she heard this man. All the goods were authentic in the store, how comes there was a knock-off?

Chapter 376: Authentic or Fake?

“All the items here are 100% authentic, we don’t sell fake products here,” Lingxiu said bitterly while frowning.

She was quite sure all the items in the store were authentic since she selected each of them precisely and they were even checked by her grandpa, Yunchang Xu. How could they be wrong?

Credit and reputation were two of the most crucial things for an antique store. No customer would visit an antique store once it sold false items since nobody would trust them again. This young man was definitely making stories up by saying he was sold a false item here.

“Huh, I just bought a pendant here and it’s fake,” the young man sneered while uncovering his palm and showing the amber pendant.

He was very loud for every single word he spoke, so that everyone could hear it and he could let them know this place actually sold knock-offs.

Indeed, the people who gathered around started to discuss after hearing the young man.

“I can’t believe that they sold knock-offs in this store.”

“Right? I thought the pretty girl sold authentic goods. Who the heck knew she actually sold fake stuff with her little pretty face. What a liar.”

“I was thinking of buying something here but now, I better go buy it somewhere else if they sell fake items here.”

People started to point at Lingxiu and ridicule her.

These folks were types of people that believed whatever others said. They didn’t think and only listened to other people. At the moment, they believed the girl sold false items as soon as they heard the young man say so.

Lingxiu was pissed off after seeing the crowd start to criticize her. Her face turned red and her tears kept running in her eyes.

Lingxiu recognized this young man since he just bought an amber pendant from her store. She gave him a real pendant, how could he make this up?

“The pendant I sold to you was authentic, don’t try to wrong me,” Lingxiu said furiously with a red face.

She realized how immoral this man was that he actually accused her of selling false items. She was so mad at the moment.

“Don’t even try to explain yourself, you sold me a knock-off. Give me my money back,” the young man said as he approached her aggressively.

He glared at Lingxiu madly so that he could threatened her so that she would give the refund, which would indirectly be her admitting she sold a knock-off and made her store lose credit.

Nobody would come to a store selling knock-offs. This young man was such a bitter person.

Lingxiu was scared and took a step back when she saw the angry young man. She had never seen such a bitter, angry liar before.

Qingfeng could tell it must be Lingxiu’s first time dealing with this kind of customer after seeing her being terrified, he decided to give her a hand. After all, she was still Yunchang’s granddaughter and her friend.

“Dude, this amber pendant looks authentic to me, what makes you think it is fake, huh?” Qingfeng said calmly while walking up to the young man.

Lingxiu felt hopeful when Qingfeng stood ahead since nobody but him dared to face this angry man. What a nice person!

“Dude, who are you? I am asking for my refund from the boss here since I got a fake item, what is your business here?” the young man was so arrogant while glaring at Qingfeng aggressively.

Qingfeng frowned and said to him, “Young man, don’t turn things worse when I gave you a chance. All the merchandise here is authentic. If you insist on wronging the girl, I wouldn’t just sit here and do nothing.”

“Brat, this should be what I said. This amber pendant is obviously a knock-off! Can you confirm it is authentic?” the young man yelled out loud while sneering.

In fact, the young man knew the amber pendant he bought was authentic. The reason why he wronged Lingxiu was because he was trying to destroy the credit and reputation of her store and gain some money.

Lingxiu just opened her new store, but since all the items she sold were authentic, a lot of visitors bought things there, which automatically decrease the amount of clients to other antique stores.

People comes along with benefits, benefit comes along with conflicts, conflicts comes along with arguments, and arguments come along with fights.

The same theory applies to everywhere. Students tended to compete for marks in school, employees tended to compete for promotions at work, and men tended to compete for women against other men. This world was full of competition.

The increasing visiting of Lingxiu’s store has affected the profit of the store next to hers, “Fat dude’s Antique Store”. Therefore, the chubby owner of that store found a guy, which was this one, to buy an item here and accuse Lingxiu of selling false items.

“Young man, I repeat one more time, don’t make things worse,” Qingfeng started to threaten the young man with hatred.

Qingfeng felt so frustrated since he was supposed to get a gift for Ruyan for when he goes to Jing City tomorrow. Now, his plan was disturbed by this stupid dude.

He felt pissed that this man tried to destroy Lingxiu’s reputation and even wrongfully convict her of selling false items. He would have bought the pendant for Ruyan if this man wasn’t here.

F*ck. The time to buy gift for Ruyan has been wasted, what an asshole. Anger and aggression started to mingle in Qingfeng’s heart.

The young man immediately shivered once he felt the anger of Qingfeng. He stepped back and yelled, “What? Are you thinking about hitting me? I’m coming for my refund here and you are trying to beat me? Is it because what I said was right, huh?”

In fact, the young man was threatened by Qingfeng’s aggression, but he was smart enough to point out that he was right if Qingfeng beat him.

Qingfeng suddenly paused. He didn’t expect that this dude wasn’t as stupid as he thought. To be honest, he wanted to kick this man’s ass so hard, though he stopped the thought once he heard what he said.

Why? Simply enough. Once he beat this man, it automatically meant they admitted their products were fake and it would devastate the reputation of Lingxiu’s antique store.

Qingfeng was trying to help Lingxiu, not harm her.

if this young man claimed the amber pendant was fake, Qingfeng decided to prove his stupidity with knowledge, which is proving the authenticity of the amber pendant.Now, the goal was clear. As long as Qingfeng could prove the amber pendant was authentic, he could prove this young man was lying. Then, his lie would be discovered and the reputation of Lingxiu’s store would be saved.

Chapter 377: Finding out the Culprit Behind the Scene

Qingfeng decided to get rid of this young man quickly. He needed to buy gifts for Ruyan and had no time to waste on him.”Young man, you said the amber you bought is a fake one. Let me ask you, do you know what amber is?” Qingfeng asked with a sarcastic smile.The young man looked startled and panic appeared in his eyes. He had received the instructions from that fat boss of another antique store, and came to buy amber to accuse Lingxiu that her amber was counterfeit. He knew nothing about any antiques, how could he know what amber was?The young man started to worry and sweat. He found Qingfeng’s question was too cunning. Thinking this way, if he didn’t know what amber was, how could he tell that amber was fake?The young man didn’t know what amber was and didn’t know what to say, he could only look around at the people surrounding them. The fat boss was standing right in the front of the crowd. He was the one that incited the young man to frame Lingxiu. Now when the young man came across a difficult situation, his eyes automatically fell on him.Qingfeng had been staring at the young man and noticed right away how he looked at the fat boss. After a second thought, he understood the reason. It must be that the fat boss got jealous of Lingxiu’s good business and asked the young man to frame her.The only thing was the young man that the fat boss found was a fool. He didn’t know anything about antiques. When Qingfeng asked him about amber, he was stumped completely.The young man realized that the fat boss wouldn’t respond to him. He took a deep breath and asked loudly, “Amber is just amber. How much can I know about it?”Qingfeng gave a sneering smile and said, “Young man, since you do not know about amber, how can you tell the fake from the real?” his words made the young man speechless.People around were surprised to see the young man speechless. If this person claimed that amber was fake, he had to be able to explain the reason. If this young man didn’t know anything about amber, how could he identify it was fake?At this time, the people surrounding them started to figure out that this young man probably knew nothing about antique. All he wanted to do was to frame this antique store.”Well, I don’t know anything about amber. But do you know what amber is?”The young man frowned and asked loudly. He knew people needed time to study and build up antique knowledge. The young man in front of him looked very young and might be his age too. He shouldn’t know a lot of antique knowledge either.Qingfeng smiled lightly and said, “Let me tell you, amber is formed about 45—99 million years ago. It was coniferous tree resin that dropped and was buried underground for thousands of years, and is a petrochemical formed under the action of thermal energy and pressure. It can be called ‘amber’ or ‘resin fossil’.””Young man, I have explained the origins of amber to you. Do you understand now?” Qingfeng looked at the young man and asked rhetorically.This young man was absolutely a fool, he didn’t know anything about amber and accused the one that he bought were counterfeit goods.The people around them kept on nodding after they heard Qingfeng’s explanation. Many of them were antique amateurs; some of them had also collected ambers. So, they could figure out what Qingfeng said was quite professional and correct. Since the young man didn’t have any antique knowledge, the words he said before were not credible.”Yeah, I can’t believe this young man doesn’t know anything about amber. What he said about the counterfeit goods he bought here must be lies.””I agree. This young man definitely wanted to wangle money. He is so bad.””Um, I have decided that I will buy a piece of amber in this store for my girlfriend.”The surrounding people were talking to each other while looking at the young man with undisguised contempt. On the contrast, they got a good feeling towards Qingfeng and Lingxiu’s antique store.Qingfeng didn’t do anything except explained the origins of amber to the people, but he turned over the clouds for the rain and changed the situation dramatically. Now it was the young man that was despised by everyone.Brother Li was really formidable; he redeemed the store’s reputation so easily. Lingxiu looked at Qingfeng with a face of adoration.When the young man saw the plan to frame the store was exposed, he turned around and tried to escape. Qingfeng grabbed him by the arm before he ran away.”Why did you grab me?” The young man’s face changed and yelled.Qingfeng gave him a wintry smile, “You framed this store and wanted to blackmail money. Now you want to walk away without any words? You’d better tell us who instigated you.””Nobody.””Young man, if you don’t tell us the truth, I’ll call the police. A person who blackmails and frames others like what you just did can go to jail.””What, go to jail?” The young man’s face changed countenance and a sense of panic appeared in his eyes.He did receive the instruction from that fat boss and wanted to make some money. But he didn’t want to go to jails.”Young man, I give you the last chance. If you tell us who instigate you to do so, I am not going to call the police. Otherwise you just wait to be put in prison.” Qingfeng threatened him coldly.Prison? Absolutely no! My girlfriend was still waiting for me to have fun at night, how can I go to jail? Plus, if I was put in jail, my girlfriend would become another person’s woman. There was no way.In order not to be put in jail and avoid his girlfriend leaving him, the young man pointed to the fat boss in the front of the crowd and said loudly, “Brother, it is that fat person instigated me to frame your shop. He has also given me 10000 Yuan.””Young man, you can not talk nonsense. When did I instigate you to frame the store?” The fat man denied loudly.The fat boss would not admit this. It would affect his reputation. No matter how, he was an honored and popular character in this street.Swoosh!Facing the fat boss’s chicanery, young man took out 10000 Yuan directly from his pocket,”Fatty, you can not deny. These bills are the 10000 Yuan you gave me.”Facing a pile of 10000 Yuan bills in the young man’s hand, the fat man’s expression changed and he became speechless.The following were very simple. Qingfeng took out his cell phone and called the police and Mengyao Xu directly. Her crew came and took the fat boss and young man back to do the investigation.After the fat boss was brought away, the antique store returned back to normal. But the shopping spirit was actually higher. Many people started to buy the stuff in the store. Lingxiu was very happy. The more people spent, the more money he made.”Brother Li, this blue amber is for you.” Lingxiu took out a blue amber and handed to Qingfeng.Amber had many colors: blue, green, red and black. Among them, blue amber was the most expensive one. The value of the blue amber Lingxiu took out was at least 100,000 yuan.Qingfeng wanted to pay money but Lingxiu refused and insisted to give it to him as a gift to appreciate his help just now.As people knew the profit of antique stores was huge. If the goods could be sold, sometimes several tens of thousands could be made for even a piece. Qingfeng helped Lingxiu redeemed the prestige of this store. This was priceless. Right at this moment, many people were shopping in the store. Lingxiu had made hundreds of thousands. She would make more later on for sure.In order to express his gratitude, Lingxiu insisted on giving Qingfeng this 100000 value blue amber for free.At last, Qingfeng walked out of the antique store with this blue amber towards the famous Noble Palace. He planned to give Ruyan this blue amber as present when he goes to Jing City the next day.

Chapter 378: Ruyan Liu

Jing Capital, at the Liu family’s villas.The Liu family, as one of the Four Jing Capital Big Families, was extremely powerful. Although it was ranked last in the four families, it was still a giant monster, like a dormant tiger.The Liu family’s villas were not in the city center, because the last position near the Palace museum had been occupied by the Wang family. The Wang family was first of the four families so they occupied the best position in the Jing Capital.The Liu family’s Villas were located in the suburbs. Actually, they could also build their villas in the city center, but the Liu family’s old ancestor said the suburbs were cleaner without pollution.The Liu Family’s Villas occupied an area of hundreds of acres with more than 10 villa buildings inside. There were more than several hundreds of family members living here. In this land, the family also built a garden, artificial lake, swimming pool, rockeries, pavilions and so on, was extremely luxurious.The family spent several billions to build these villas, way more than the 1 billion the Wang’s’ family had spent. The Wang’s family gained the top position of the Families by military force.The Wang’s military force was the most powerful among the four families, and the Dragon King was from the Wang Family. The Liu family was ranked the last, but they were the richest. The assets of their family were already above 900 billion and soon would approach 1 trillion.It was not always good to have lots of money. Destructions always pursued the great. The Liu Family’s wealth made it a target for the other families. They all took it as a piece of juicy meat, wanting to swallow it. For self-protection, the Liu family decided to unite with the Wang family by marriage, because their armed force was the most powerful. This could definitely be called a winning combination.As for the marriage with the Wang’s, the Liu Family chose Ruyan, because she was the princess of their family. She was the daughter of the family master and also the most beautiful woman in their family.Ruyan knew clearly what had been going on between the two families. She also knew she was only a chess piece for her family. For the family’s benefit, these people would make her marry Shaoyang Wang for sure.Ruyan also wanted to stand up for herself, but she knew if she did so, not only would she die, but her mother would die, and even her beloved person, Qingfeng Li would die, too. She did not want her mom and Qingfeng to die because of her.Although Ruyan didn’t like her mother’s arrogance and superiority, her mother gave birth and life to her. Ruyan was a filial daughter and naturally had to consider for her mother.As for Qingfeng, he was the man she loved; she couldn’t let him be killed by the Wang Family because of her.Ruyan sat in her own room. Looking at the luxurious room, she felt a sense of loneliness. Although the families spent a hundred million Yuan to decorate her room in order to welcome her back, she still only felt lonely.Yes, you did not read it wrong; the spending to decorate Ruyan’s room was more than a hundred million. The luxury of the rich people could never be imagined by ordinary people. In Ruyan’s room, the walls and floors were imported from Italy, the chandelier was made for Danish royal use, the carpet was sewed from Siberian bear leather, and her quilt was made of swan down feathers.Ruyan looked at the room as if she was looking at a pile of junk, she did not like it at all.The audio set in the room was playing music; it was Ruyan’s favorite song “Valentine’s day without a lover”.The Valentine’s day without a lover, how much loneliness would you feel? For those beloved ones who did not understand, yearning still remained in the heart even if they had no lover for Valentine’s Day. Accidentally receiving a comforting experience, compared to a beloved one, she found the need to revisit her memories. Happy Valentine’s Day, Happy Valentine’s day, I only hear sad music…This song was Ruyan’s favorite, it also reflected her feelings. She was sitting in the room all by herself and thinking of the time she spent together with Qingfeng. Her tears fell down her cheeks like shining pearls.Bang! The door was pushed open, a woman dressed in precious mink skin walked in. Seeing Ruyan’s tears, the woman’s heart flashed with a touch of pain, but immediately she hid it away.This woman coming in was not someone else; she was Ruyan’s mother, Xifeng Zhang.”Daughter, you are going to be married soon. You should be happy. Why are you crying?” She said with a smile, Xifeng sat down beside Ruyan, took out a tissue and wiped the tears from her face.Married?Ruyan felt a sharp pain in her heart when she heard the word. The person she loved was Qingfeng, but the person she was to marry was Shaoyang Wang. Would this be her fate?”Daughter, you see, how beautiful you are. You are the princess of the Liu family. You won’t look good with a crying face.” Seeing Ruyan’s tears came down again, Xifeng quickly comforted her.Xifeng didn’t feel very well herself either. Since Ruyan came back to the Liu family, she wept every day. She always put herself in the room to listen to songs. Her favorite song was “Valentine’s day without a lover”. She even didn’t want to see her father.In fact, Xifeng also knew her daughter had a person in her heart, and that was Qingfeng in Eastern Sea City.When Xifeng flew back to Jing Capital with Ruyan, Qingfeng ran to the airport and chased after the plane. When the plane took off, he shouted “Ruyan, I love you”. At that time Ruyan heard him, Xifeng was sitting beside her, and she also heard him.She had suspected for a long time that her daughter and Qingfeng had a special relationship, because Qingfeng had the key to her daughter’s Villa. But she did not expected these two people had developed into a lover relationship. This was a serious thing. Xifeng had been hidden this secret inside herself, did not tell anybody, even her husband.Xifeng understood she couldn’t disclose the news that Ruyan and Qingfeng were in love, especially to the Liu Family’s and Wang’s families. Otherwise Ruyan would be in danger, Qingfeng would be more dangerous.”Daughter, do you like Qingfeng?” Xifeng looked at Ruyan’s pale face and asked, she had to confirm her daughter’s thoughts.Hearing her mother’s inquiry, Ruyan’s charming face became paler and flashed with a touch of panic. She did not know how her mother knew she liked Qingfeng.Ruyan’s red lip slightly tilted and denied, “Mother, I do not like Qingfeng. You shouldn’t talk nonsense.””It is a wise mother that knows her daughter better. You are my child, how can I not know your mind, and your facial expression has betrayed that you like Qingfeng. I also heard what Qingfeng said to you at the airport.” Xifeng said with a faint smile.Oh my God, mother knew Qingfeng’s relationship with me; would she find someone to kill Qingfeng? Ruyan’s bright eyes were full of worries.The thing she was most scared was her relationship with Qingfeng found out by her mother. But paper couldn’t wrap fire, her mother finally found out about it.”Ruyan, I’m telling you, you are going to marry Shaoyang soon. You must cut off the emotions, forget Qingfeng.” Xifeng frowned slightly and said with a cold voice.

Chapter 379: Cutting the Threads of Love, Forgetting Qingfeng

“Mother, I don’t like Shaoyang Wang,” Ruyan Liu said with a flicker of disgust.She strongly detested Shaoyang Wang. She held a natural dislike for him.”Ruyan, let me repeat myself. If you don’t forget Qingfeng, I will reveal your relationship with Qingfeng to your father. You know your father’s temper,” Xifeng Zhang said with a faint smile.”Mother, don’t tell father about my relationship with Qingfeng.”

“I won’t tell him, but can you forget about Qingfeng Li?””Mother, as long as you don’t tell father, I promise you that I will forget Qingfeng,” Ruyan Liu said sadly.She knew that her father was an old-fashioned man who placed the interests of the family above everything. If her father knew about her relationship with Qingfeng, he would send someone to assassinate Qingfeng.Even though Ruyan Liu knew that Qingfeng was very strong, the power of a large family was much bigger than what Qingfeng could imagine. For Qingfeng’s good, Ruyan Liu could only forget about him.”Good. Ruyan, Qingfeng is only an abandoned son of the Li Family. Even the Li Family does not want him anymore, what powers does he have? Shaoyang Wang is the eldest young master of the Wang Family and the successor of the family. You will be the young Lady of the Wang Family if you marry him.”People who were born into large families did not have control over their fates. Back then, Xifeng Zhang liked the third master of the Li Family the most but he did not like her. In the end, she married Ruyan Liu’s father for her family’s benefit.”Ruyan, rest well. I am leaving now,” Xifeng Zhang saw that her daughter did not want to speak to her. Thus, she left the room.Ruyan was once again the only person in the room. She sat alone on the chair and tears dropped uncontrollably down her face. Could she really forget Qingfeng?

She could only bury her love for the man forever in her heart.…..Eastern Sea City – Qingfeng placed the blue amber away carefully, then he headed home. When he got home, it was already 7 pm. Xue Lin had already got home from work and was waiting for him in the living room.”You’re back,” Xue Lin said happily with a charming smile.It was getting closer to their wedding date. Xue Lin was becoming more nervous and scared. She used to be icily cold because she hated men. But now, she no longer hated men. She had already accepted Qingfeng.Her heart began to pound wildly when she thought of the wedding in three days. When that day arrived, she would celebrate her wedding night with this man and they would xxoo.”Honey, I didn’t know you are so shy. I thought you were the Icy Goddess?” Qingfeng could not help but tease Xue Lin.To be honest, in the past, his impression of Xue Lin was that she was a prideful and icy woman. But after everything they had been through together, their relationship had deepened.Even though their relationship had deepened, Xue Lin was still cold and prideful but towards outsiders. She was much more gentle and affectionate towards Qingfeng now.Have you ever seen a prideful woman making a meal for a man? Xue Lin had cooked for Qingfeng already. Xue Lin’s face reddened at Qingfeng’s words. She looked bashfully at him and said, “Don’t tease me.””Alright, I won’t tease you,” Qingfeng said with a laugh. After all, women were sensitive. It would be bad if he upset her.
Eh?Qingfeng suddenly saw a suit next to Xue Lin. It was a suit for a man.When she saw Qingfeng’s puzzled look, Xue Lin said with a smile, “Here, I bought this suit for you.””For me? Why did you buy me a suit?””Did you forget? We are going to the Li Family of the Capital to send wedding invitations. You need to dress well so I bought you a suit.””It’s alright. I can wear something casual to the Li Family. They don’t like me anyways. I don’t like them either.””We can’t do that, husband. If we dress poorly, they will look down at us,” Xue Lin said with a frown.In her heart, Qingfeng was her husband. How could anyone look down at him? Qingfeng only shook his head when he heard Xue Lin’s words. He did not speak. He naturally knew that the Li Family looked down upon him already. It would not change if he wore a suit.But Xue Lin had specially bought a suit for him so Qingfeng naturally had to wear it. He would wear it for her, not for the people of the Li Family.As for the flights, Xue Lin had booked tickets for the flight at 7 am tomorrow. The two went to bed soon since they had to wake up early to head to the Capital.…Capital, Wang Family.At the moment, inside a luxurious mansion, a handsome young man waved a sword around. The wood in front of him was split into two with a single strike. As he waved the sword, a strong current formed around his sword.The handsome young man was none other than Shaoyang Wang, the eldest young master of the Wang Family.knock knock knock…A platter of footsteps interrupted Shaoyang Wang’s practice. A middle-aged man in black walked in anxiously with panic on his face.”Tian Wang, I’ve told you before. Do not interrupt me when I am practicing my blade. Did you forget?” Shaoyang Wang said coldly.The sword in his hands moved forward and was an inch from Tian Wang’s neck. If Shaoyang Wang applied some pressure, he would chop Tian Wang’s head off.Tian Wang’s face became fearful. He quickly said, “Young master, something big happened.””Speak. What happened? If it is not serious, I will behead you,”
Shaoyang Wang said coldly. The sword was still on the neck of the middle-aged man, he had no intentions to hold it down.Tian Wang said fearfully, “Young master, Aotian Wang is dead.”
What? Aotian Wang is dead? My cousin is dead?Shaoyang Wang’s expression changed drastically. He began to emit a strong killer intent.The sword in his hands trembled slightly when he heard the news of his cousin’s death. The sharp sword instantly pierced the face of the middle-aged man but he dared not move.”Who killed my cousin. I will rip him apart,” Shaoyang Wang said with killer intent.

Chapter 380: Qingfeng Li Arrived at Jing Capital

“Young master, from our investigations, Aotian Wang was killed by Qingfeng Li,” The middle-aged man said quickly. His voice was filled with fear. He was scared that Shaoyang Wang’s sword would cut off his head.He only had one life. It would be too unfortunate if he were to die at the hands of young master.”Who is Qingfeng Li? This is a familiar name,” Shaoyang Wang asked with a frown.He felt that he had heard of the name before but he could not recall where.”Young master, from what we know, Qingfeng Li is the son of the Third Master of the Li Family. But he was abandoned by the Li Family and had moved to Eastern Sea City,” The middle-aged man quickly replied.The son of the Third master of the Li Family, Qingfeng Li?Shaoyang Wang finally remembered where he had heard of the name. His face was instantly filled with hatred. Shaoyang Wang hated Qingfeng Li with all his heart. More than ten years ago, he was in the same elementary class as Qingfeng Li. Qingfeng Li gave him a heavy beating which almost took his life because he threw a rat into Qingfeng’s backpack. That was the most humiliating moment of his life.Shaoyang Wang had always wanted to seek revenge from Qingfeng Li but Qingfeng had headed overseas when he was eight. Shaoyang wang did not expect him to hide in Eastern Sea City or for him to kill his cousin.Aotian Wang was Shaoyang Wang’s cousin. The two of them were close. Furthermore, Aotian Wang was a sharp weapon he could use to unite the underground forces of Eastern Sea City. Now that Aotian Wang was killed by Qingfeng Li, he would no longer be able to unite the underground forces of Eastern Sea City.Shaoyang Wang was furious. Hatred exploded inside his heart. He wanted to tear Qingfeng into a million pieces.”Qingfeng Li, I swear that I will kill you,” Shaoyang Wang said viciously with killer intent.”I want you to find out everything about Qingfeng Li. I will head to Eastern Sea City in two days to kill him personally,” Shaoyang Wang said coldly to the middle-aged man.Shaoyang Wang wanted to kill Qingfeng Li right away but there was a gathering tomorrow night. The young masters and mistresses of the big four families such as Ruyan Liu, Wuqing Li and Poju Ye would all attend the gathering.As the head of the four young masters, Shaoyang Wang naturally had to attend the gathering. He was going to meet his fiancée, Ruyan, at the gathering tomorrow. Shaoyang Wang became heated when he thought of Ruiyan Liu’s seductive face and body. He really wanted to throw her onto the bed and xxoo her.The middle-aged man quickly went to investigate Qingfeng Li’s information at Shaoyang Wang’s orders. At the moment, Shaoyang Wang did not know that Qingfeng was heading to the Capital tomorrow. The two fated enemies were destined to meet and clash in the Capital.…Eastern Sea City, it was 6 am. The sky was still dark but Qingfeng and Xue Lin were already up as they had to head to the Li Family in the Capital today. Their flight was at 7 am so they had to wake-up early for it.Since they were going to the Li Family today, Xue Lin specially dressed up for the occasion. She had put on light make-up which her seem like a lotus in the mountains. Her eyes were charming and her lips were seductive.Even though Xue Lin did make-up everyday but her make-up was usually simple. She was more formal today because she was meeting Qingfeng’s family.As the daughter-in-law of the Li Family, she needed to display her best side to let them know that even though Qingfeng was abandoned by the Li Family, he could still marry a beautiful wife.
Xue Lin also dressed nicely today. She wore a beautiful white dress which accentuated her curves and figure.Qingfeng also dressed for the occasion. At Xue Lin’s request, he wore the suit she bought yesterday.
Xue Lin had spent tens of thousands of dollars to buy Qingfeng the suit. She invested heavily so that he could look handsome.

After getting ready, Xue Lin and Qingfeng ate a simple breakfast before heading towards the airport.When they arrived at Eastern Sea Airport, the security guards all looked fearfully at Qingfeng. Their faces were pale and they ran away when they saw him. They acted as if they had seen a ferocious tiger.”Why are the security guards so scared of you?” Xue Lin asked confusedly.Qingfeng smiled lightly and said, “I must be too handsome. They feel inferior when they see me so they ran away.”Haha!Xue Lin chuckled at Qingfeng’s narcissistic words. She always knew that Qingfeng was very narcissistic but he was never so narcissistic.
Xue Lin looked at Qingfeng speechlessly and did not want to continue the conversation. She was scared that Qingfeng would say something even more narcissistic.Qingfeng sighed a sigh of relief when he saw that Xue Lin did not persist her questioning. He knew that the security guards ran away because they were afraid of him.A few days ago, he had run on the runway to chase after Ruiyan Liu’s plane. The security guards wanted to teach him a lesson but were beaten up by him instead. Thus, they ran away at the sight of him.Of course, Qingfeng would never let Xue Lin know that he had chased after Ruiyan Liu at the airport.Qingfeng and Xue Lin boarded the plane and headed towards the Capital. Eastern Sea City was not far away from the Capital. They arrived at the Capital three hours later.”Jing Capital, I am back.” On the plane, Qingfeng’s eyes were filled with conflicting emotions as he took in the familiar scene.The great wall, Yuhe Garden, North Sea Garden, the Imperial Palace, Wang Fujing Street (TL: a very famous street)…Qingfeng took in the sight of these familiar places and was drawn into his memories.
He remembered faintly that his parents had brought him to the Imperial Palace and Wang Fujing Street. But now, these places were still here but his parents had disappeared…His parent’s disappearance was a thorn in Qingfeng’s heart. He had tried countless times to find his parents but he was never successful. His parents and master had both disappeared. This made him sad.The plane arrived at Capital International Airport.
Qingfeng and Xue Lin walked off the plane. They then boarded a taxi and headed towards the Li Family.
