Chapter 1090: Chapter 1095: Visiting the Wang Family
"Old Su wants you to visit the Wang Family?!" Lin Feng was a bit stunned, his face looking odd as he stared at Su Zi, thinking to himself, could Old Su be planning to marry off Su Zi to that Wang Jiasheng?
"It’s not what you think!" Su Zi immediately saw through Lin Feng’s thoughts, and smiling somewhat bashfully, she said, "My dad’s intention is to have me represent the Su Family in expressing gratitude to the Wang Family for their assistance during this time... Also, to conveniently explain to them that I... already have someone in my heart..."
After speaking, Su Zi watched Lin Feng with some anxiety, a bit afraid that he might be upset...
Lin Feng snapped back to reality, realizing Old Su wanted him to break the idea of an alliance with the Wang Family... Hmm, this isn’t an easy task, considering the Wang Family is one of the five major families in the Imperial City, with the head Wang Xiaoyong being a former chancellor of China. This standing means even if Su Zhenxian visited personally, he’d only offer respect as a junior. Can Lin Feng gain any favor at the Wang Family?
Nonetheless, since Su Zi needs help, Lin Feng has no room to decline. No matter if there’s a mountain of knives or a sea of fire ahead, he’d have to grit his teeth and face it. freewebnøvel.coɱ
Besides, Su Zi just said it, Lin Feng is the one she cares about... With this status, does Lin Feng have any room to retreat?
"Alright, call me tomorrow!" Lin Feng agreed without hesitation.
Su Zi seemed a bit surprised... Lin Feng actually agreed to her request so easily, without any sign of displeasure or hesitation; is this really the Lin Feng she knows?
"Lin Feng... Aren’t you going to ask what exactly you’ll do tomorrow?" Su Zi asked somewhat guiltily, knowing that when Lin Feng goes to the Wang Family, he’d likely face many cold shoulders, almost purely serving as a target for people’s venting...
"I know..." Lin Feng smiled casually at Su Zi, showing a knowing expression.
Su Zi could only give a doubtful nod.
That night, upon returning to his room, Lin Feng surprisingly found that Xue Qingyi hadn’t come to find him, making him spend a night in speculation and doubt.
The following morning, Lin Feng was awakened by Su Zi. With Master Zhang, the driver of the Su Family’s special car, guiding him, he got into a black Audi and reached the Wang Manor located on Jingxi Street.
Arriving at the Wang Manor gate, the car stopped, and Lin Feng and Su Zi got out of the car.
"Master Zhang, you can go back now; don’t bother picking us up later!" Su Zi instructed the driver, taking Lin Feng into the Wang Manor.
The Wang Manor was also guarded by armed sentinels, but the sentinels recognized the Su Family’s special car and also knew Su Zi. Therefore, as Su Zi led Lin Feng past them, the sentinels showed no reaction.
"Miss Su, you’ve arrived!" The elderly guard at the security booth greeted Su Zi with a kind smile, then looked at Lin Feng beside her with surprise.
"Yes, good morning, Elder Wang!" Su Zi smiled at the guard and led Lin Feng straight inside the manor.
Walking along the path for about ten meters, Lin Feng saw a handsome young man in a very clean formal suit approaching with delight, exclaiming towards Su Zi, "Su Zi! You’ve come so early!"
This handsome guy was none other than Wang Jiasheng, who had recently been heavily schooled by Lin Feng...
Seeing Wang Jiasheng, Lin Feng recalled how he was forced that night to cover up the incident at Xuanyuan Pavilion by pinning the blame on him, showing a knowing smile...
Wang Jiasheng also saw Lin Feng, paused instinctively, and then managed to squeeze out a forced smile, "Lin Feng, you’re here too!"
Wang Jiasheng knew Su Zi was visiting today but hadn’t received any news about Lin Feng coming over. Seeing Lin Feng suddenly gave him a jolt...
Yes, it was a jolt; to Wang Jiasheng, Lin Feng was not just a terrifying martial arts master but more importantly, his relationship with Su Zi was extremely close, close enough to make him jealous...
However, Wang Jiasheng wasn’t worried about Lin Feng taking Su Zi from him, because his intended marriage with her had been discussed after communication between two former chancellors of China, making it unlikely for anyone to affect its progress!
So, although Wang Jiasheng disliked Lin Feng, he had an unshakeable confidence within him.
"We haven’t seen each other for a few days. You look good; how have you been?" Wang Jiasheng confidently smiled at Lin Feng, asking in a calm tone.
"Thanks for Mr. Wang’s concern, I’ve been staying at the Su Family, eating and drinking well, nothing bad about it..." Lin Feng, naturally seeing Wang Jiasheng’s confidence, aimed to deflate this self-assured guy by deliberately mentioning his stay at the Su Family, observing Wang Jiasheng’s reaction!
Wang Jiasheng was taken aback before his handsome face turned extremely uncomfortable. He looked at Su Zi, with disbelief, and asked for confirmation, "Su Zi, Lin Feng must be joking, right? He’s just your classmate; how could he stay at your house? With Old Su’s personality... It’s impossible for him to casually let a young man stay at home!"
"Yes, you’re right..." Su Zi coyly laughed at Wang Jiasheng and nodded, "My dad certainly wouldn’t casually let an ordinary man stay at our house..."
Wang Jiasheng’s expression eased, but Su Zi continued to speak.
"However... Lin Feng is not just any ordinary man!" Su Zi glanced at Lin Feng, saying seriously, "My dad thoroughly assessed Lin Feng before allowing him to stay at our house!"
Hearing this, Wang Jiasheng’s heart sank halfway...
What did it mean for Old Su to thoroughly assess Lin Feng before allowing him to stay? Could it be that he’s already decided to let Su Zi and Lin Feng be together? Wang Jiasheng stared at Lin Feng, his eyes filled with incredulity!
As a direct descendant of the Wang Family, he naturally knew Lin Feng’s father was the commander of the district Lin Zhonghua. Yet Wang Jiasheng had never considered Lin Feng’s background significant, knowing that in the Imperial City, families with status equal to or surpassing Lin Zhonghua were at least eight hundred strong, with the Lin Family nowhere near China’s top echelons!
Precisely because Lin Feng’s background was relatively "ordinary," Wang Jiasheng wasn’t worried that Su Zhenxian would take an interest in Lin Feng, especially given the Su Family’s current difficult situation. When finding a husband for Su Zi, Su Zhenxian would definitely choose from among the few major families of the Imperial City!
In other words, Wang Jiasheng felt Lin Feng’s status was simply not a match for Su Zi!
However, upon hearing Su Zi say that Su Zhenxian had assessed Lin Feng and agreed to let him stay, it meant Lin Feng had already caught Old Su’s Dharma Eye...
Instantly, a strong sense of crisis surged in Wang Jiasheng’s heart, as he stared at Lin Feng with hawk-like eyes, his mind swirling with thoughts.
