Ch 55: Joining the Feng Family
“Pa, pa!” Two crisp slaps echoed, and five bright red finger marks appeared on Feng Qingyi’s and Feng Yueling’s faces.
Feng Changsheng trembled with anger, glared at them, and roared, “What are you doing? Is this all you’ve learned after so many years of cultivation?”
Feng Qingyi took a deep breath, trying to calm the turmoil in his heart, then lowered his head and said in a firm voice, “Grandfather, this was my idea. I am willing to take responsibility. Please punish me!”
Feng Yueling covered her face, tears streaming down her cheeks. She couldn’t believe what was happening before her eyes, her heart filled with grievance and incomprehension. From childhood to adulthood, her grandfather had doted on her and never been willing to lay a finger on her, but today he hit her because of an outsider.
Feng Changsheng glanced at the two of them with disappointment and said in a heavy tone, “From now on, you two siblings are confined to home for two months to reflect on today’s mistakes!” After speaking, he turned and walked towards Xi Yang.
As his voice fell, two tall bodyguards strode to Feng Qingyi’s siblings and led them away from the scene.
Xi Yang faced him and said, “Old Master Feng, let’s leave it at that. I hope you behave!”
He no longer wanted to pay attention to the Feng Family. These people had been high and mighty for too long, to the point that they couldn’t figure out their own position.
After speaking, Xi Yang didn’t plan to stay any longer and turned to leave!
“Wait!” Feng Changsheng showed an apologetic smile on his face: “I’m very sorry for what happened just now. My two unfilial descendants don’t know how to handle things. I, Old Master Feng, apologize to you! The matter of letting you be Yueling’s bodyguard before was something I didn’t consider carefully! The ten million I promised you has already been transferred to your card. It’s not for anything else, just to make friends with you. Of course, I also hope you can give my Feng Family a chance?”
Xi Yang heard this, turned his head, and glanced at him, muttering to himself: This old guy is indeed a shrewd person! First, he used money to eliminate the misunderstanding between them, and then he cleverly resolved the conflict between the two sides. The ten million payment was obviously not just to solve the problem, but also a test.
It has to be said that this old guy really has the courage! He lowered his status so much that it was really hard for him to directly reject the other party. After all, if he completely offended the Feng Family, he would probably have to move to another place to live. He couldn’t kill them all, could he!
“Old Master Feng is too polite! Duo’er just came out of the mountains, and there are many things she needs to learn! It’s still inconvenient to disturb you!” Xi Yang shook his head.
“Friend Yang Xi is joking. Duo’er’s enrollment is just a piece of cake for my Feng Family. Please forgive me for the previous offense!” Feng Changsheng said with a smile.
Duo’er tugged at Xi Yang’s arm, “Mas… Brother, let’s go! I feel a little uneasy!” She looked at Feng Changsheng warily, her heart full of anger.
Xi Yang patted her hand and comforted her softly, “It’s okay, I’m here!”
Leaving at this time would really offend people to death! Although he didn’t care about a Feng Family, the forces behind them were quite troublesome. They had already shown enough sincerity and apology. If he continued to be unreasonable, this old guy would probably turn his face.
Moreover, they were, after all, a large family, and it was only natural to test his background.
Feng Changsheng looked at Duo’er with an unhappy expression, secretly worried that Xi Yang would leave because he was angry!
Xi Yang smiled slightly and nodded, “Since Old Master Feng values our siblings so much, then we will respectfully accept your offer! However, my sister and I are used to being free in the mountains and want to buy a house to live in! If Old Master Feng has anything that needs help, just tell us. As long as it is within our ability, we will definitely not refuse!”
Feng Changsheng heard this, and a smile appeared on his weathered face, “Very good! Friend Xi will be a friend of my Feng Family from now on, and my Feng Family will definitely do our part if you need anything!”
Xi Yang cupped his fists and said, “Then I thank you!” After speaking, he pulled Duo’er away from this place.
The students of Longshan No. 1 Middle School watched this scene dumbfounded, their eyes full of envy. One of the boys said excitedly: “My God, not only do you not have to take responsibility for hitting someone, but you can also get ten million for nothing! God! If I had ten million, why would I still study? I would drop out immediately! Whoever wants to read this broken book can read it! I’m going to enjoy life to the fullest!” As he spoke, he waved his arms excitedly.
However, at this moment, a wooden stick hit his butt hard, making a crisp sound. “Pa!” The boy grinned in pain and turned around, only to see a middle-aged woman holding a pointer staring at him angrily.
She scolded loudly: “You worthless fellow, is it time to dream during the day? You don’t study hard and only think about these unrealistic things all day long. You deserve to be beaten!”
The boy trembled when he saw this middle-aged woman, his face as pale as paper. He shouted in panic, “Mom! The old nun is here! Run!” After speaking, he turned around and wanted to escape, but was grabbed by the middle-aged woman.
The middle-aged woman was so angry that her face turned red when she heard this title, and she roared angrily: “You little bastard, you dare to give the teacher a nickname! Go to the office and write a self-criticism!” With that, she grabbed the boy’s ear and dragged him to the office.
Everyone watched this scene and ran away in fright, rushing to the classroom one after another, fearing that they would also suffer the teacher’s poisonous hands.
Feng Changsheng’s lips curled up slightly, revealing a smile. His gaze fell on the backs of Xi Yang’s siblings, and his eyes flickered with a triumphant light.
An old man with silver hair stood behind Feng Changsheng. He couldn’t help but ask, “Old Master, although this kid is an Earth-Rank Expert, it’s not enough for you to lower your status like this!”
Feng Changsheng turned around, looked at the old man calmly, and replied softly, “Old Qian, can’t you see it? He is already an Earth-Rank Expert at the age of eighteen. It is hard to imagine how far he will be able to grow in the future!”
He nodded and said, “Okay, go spread the news and tell everyone that our Feng Family will protect that kid!” After speaking, his face was filled with excitement.
“Yes!”
Back to the rental house from Longshan No. 1 Middle School. Duo’er was always unhappy.
Xi Yang made himself a pot of tea, and while drinking it, he looked at her with great interest.
After a long time, Duo’er, stimulated by Xi Yang’s gaze, finally couldn’t bear it anymore, “Master, what exactly are you looking at? Don’t you want to explain?”
Xi Yang shook the teacup in his hand and said lightly, “It’s not me who’s angry. I don’t understand anything. Why should I ask?”
“Master, you know very well that Feng Yueling, that woman, has bad intentions, and you still accept Old Master Feng’s help. Isn’t that throwing yourself into the tiger’s mouth?”
Xi Yang took a sip of tea and explained, “The Feng Family is the number one family in this Longshan County. Whether it is industry and commerce or the government, they are like beings who can summon wind and rain. Besides, they just tested us and didn’t offend us too much. Why should we be so petty! What’s wrong with not caring for the sake of money!”
He glanced at Duo’er and continued, “If you want to get help from others, you must first have enough value yourself! No one will be a sucker! Even if they know that your strength is extraordinary, it is not a mistake to test you.
But have you ever thought about whether you would want to test them if you recruited experts! They just did what ordinary people should do. What can’t you let go of?”
