"You lied to me?" Feng Xuesong was so angry that a blush even appeared on his handsome fair face.
He still didn't believe it: "Since Xiaoyu is Dingbang's daughter, how could she be in a small mountain village?"
Chen Zenian: "She is an educated youth. I heard she has been there for two years. Uncle Feng, to be honest, when I first learned about this, I felt it was incredible just like you."
"But her identity cannot be faked. If you don't believe it, you can check it yourself. How about it?"
"Educated youth?" Feng Xuesong was stunned by the series of news. "How is it possible?"
He suddenly thought of something and his pupils shrank sharply. Something must have happened to Dingbang!
Otherwise, given Dingbang's love for his daughter, he would never be willing to let Xiaoyu go to the countryside to suffer.
Feng Xuesong's gaze shifted to Chen Zenian. This man was treacherous and unpredictable, and was definitely not a good person.
There was no way he came to my house suddenly out of kindness.
"Chen Zenian, what on earth do you want to do?"
Facing Feng Xuesong's questioning, Chen Zenian just smiled carefreely, "Uncle Feng, this is not right, is it? I was kind enough to tell you the news about my niece, but you questioned me again and again."
"Besides, I don't have any bad intentions. I just can't bear to see a little girl like her struggling alone when she has relatives in Shanghai."
“But then again, if she hadn’t concealed her identity and told me earlier that she was Feng Lingyu from the Feng family, the business negotiations between her and me would have gone much more smoothly.”
This arrogant and disdainful tone was really harsh to the ears, and it hit Feng Xuesong's sore spot hard.
Even though he was indifferent to fame and fortune and didn't like the struggles among aristocratic families, he would never allow Chen Zenian to show off his power by stepping on the Feng family.
"Shut up! Chen Zenian, even though the four major families have now fallen apart, the heir of the Feng family is not someone that anyone can step on!"
"Uncle Feng, you are wronging me. I have negotiated with Miss Feng several times, and she refused to suffer any loss. How dare I step on her?" Chen Zenian had an expression on his face as if he was wronging me.
Feng Xuesong looked at him seriously and said, "Chen Zenian, I don't care what your purpose is. Since I already know that Xiaoyu is in Shanghai, I will never allow you to hurt her!"
Chen Zenian had a cynical smile on his face and tilted his head and said, "How could that be, Uncle Feng? I told you, I'm just being kind."
"By the way, you two, uncle and nephew, haven't seen each other for many years, so it's inevitable that you are unfamiliar. Do you need me to help you meet? After all, she and I are familiar with each other in Shanghai."
"No need! I can go find her myself, I don't need an outsider like you."
Feng Xuesong spoke the word "outsider" with great emphasis.
Chen Zenian remained calm, "As far as I know, Feng Lingyu's mother and your wife are cousins. I think if she knew that Feng Lingyu was in Shanghai, she would be very happy, right?"
Feng Xuesong frowned, "You don't need to worry about these!"
After that, he began to drive the guest away rudely: "If you have nothing else to do, you can leave."
He couldn't wait to meet Xiaoyu.
"Uncle Feng, you are so rude. But I do have one more thing to ask."
As he spoke, Chen Zenian took out a purple snowflake pendant from his arms. The pendant was crystal clear and had a perfect shape. Feng Xuesong knew at first glance that it was no ordinary item.
"This is my mother's relic, but it's just the pendant. The rest is with your wife. She said that if I agree to her terms, she will return the necklace to me intact."
"If I don't, then..." He didn't say the rest, but both of them understood what he meant.
Chen Zenian's eyes suddenly became sharp, but his tone still did not reveal his emotions: "This necklace was the most precious thing to my mother when she was alive. Although I don't know how it ended up in your wife's hands, I hope she can return it to its original owner."
"Uncle Feng, you should be able to return this necklace to me, right? Just treat it as--"
"A thank you gift for telling you about Feng Lingyu."
Feng Xuesong looked at the pendant in Chen Zenian's hand, his eyes flickering and his expression complicated. He stood there in a daze, not knowing what he was thinking.
After a long while, he finally spoke with difficulty and obscurity: "What did she ask you to do?"
"Uncle Feng may not want to know the answer." Chen Zenian raised his eyebrows.
"You say." These two sharp words showed Feng Xuesong's attitude.
"Then... I'll tell you." Chen Zenian smiled brightly, but the smile did not reach his eyes, "She told me not to cooperate with Feng Lingyu."
Feng Xuesong lowered his head, so Chen Zenian couldn't see the expression on his face.
However, he was too lazy to look at it.
He stood up from the sofa, deftly avoiding the mess on the ground, put one hand in his pocket, and said crisply:
"Uncle Feng, I have said everything I need to say. I hope you can persuade your wife to return my mother's belongings to me as soon as possible."
"Your Feng family is wealthy and powerful, you wouldn't covet a necklace, right?"
This time, Feng Xuesong didn't need to chase him away. He just left after he finished speaking.
Chen Zenian smiled coldly. Didn't Ling Qingyue like to threaten him? He wanted to see how she was going to explain this matter to Feng Xuesong.
Based on his understanding of Feng Xuesong, this man was somewhat pedantic like a scholar and had always been very respectful to Feng Dingbang, the head of the family.
If he knew that Ling Qingyue was dealing with Feng Lingyu, he would never let it go easily.
Chen Zenian suddenly thought that he might have helped Feng Lingyu.
I guess she must hate Ling Qingyue to the core...
Forget it, who told him to be helpful?
When leaving, Chen Zenian passed by the Feng family's garden and happened to meet Mrs. Zhang who was watering the plants.
Mrs. Zhang pursed her lips and looked a little nervous, but still nodded at him stiffly.
Chen Zenian suddenly remembered that it was this woman who came to the hotel and gave him the pendant last time.
After a quick glance, he passed her and left.
