Xiao Ling gave a faint smile and tucked her hair behind her ear: "Has Mr. Yu arrived?"
The lobby manager shook his head.
Xiao Ling's expression stiffened slightly. She glanced down at her watch; the hour hand was pointing to seven, exactly the agreed time. She had arrived precisely on time, but she hadn't expected Yu Jianguo to be even slower than them.
Do we have to wait for him?
Wow, they're really putting on airs!
Feng Jingyao glanced at Xiao Ling thoughtfully and smiled, "It's windy outside, let's go inside first, so as not to mess up your carefully styled hair."
Xiao Ling didn't notice Feng Jingyao's deep gaze and nodded, "Okay."
They had just entered the elevator when a series of chaotic footsteps suddenly came from outside.
"Wait a moment."
"We want to go up too."
Before the lobby manager could react, three stylish young men had already slipped into the elevator. In an instant, the smell of cigarettes mixed with men's cologne filled the elevator.
Cornered, Xiao Ling covered her nose with her hand, her brows furrowed tightly. Feng Jingyao patted her shoulder, silently comforting her. Feng Hanjin, on the other hand, stared at them for a while before suddenly speaking, "Aren't you good friends with Sister Yu Wan?" Huang Renfeng turned around, a flash of amazement in his eyes as he saw the gentle and beautiful girl before him. He nodded, "That's right, we're very close to Sister Yu; we're practically brothers."
"How can a girl be so friendly with other men? What kind of behavior is this?" Xiao Ling gritted her teeth, feeling that Yu Wan had embarrassed her again, and her tone was full of undisguised disgust.
She only regretted that Yu Wan was not good enough. She would be satisfied if she had even a fraction of Feng Hanjin's ability, let alone half of Ji Yun Chu's.
Huang Renfeng's smile vanished instantly. He raised his chin with a roguish air and said sarcastically, "This old lady must still be living in the past, spouting feudal ideas all the time. Now we've all reformed and opened up, women hold up half the sky, so why are you still discriminating against women? What's wrong with Sister Yu calling us brothers? It's just a title. If you have so much free time, go worry about the left-behind children and empty-nest elderly in the mountains, that would be a great contribution to the country."
Those words were quite harsh.
Xiao Ling's face turned pale and then flushed.
"Quite sharp-tongued for such a young age, but unfortunately lacking in manners." Feng Jingyao sneered, a storm brewing in his eyes: "Whose family are you? I'd like to discuss your upbringing with your father."
Although Xiao Ling was in the wrong first, Huang Renfeng's humiliation of his wife in front of him was tantamount to trampling on his dignity.
Feng Jingyao had been high and mighty all his life, and no junior had ever dared to speak arrogantly in front of him.
"Third Brother, that looks like Patriarch Feng." One of them tugged at Huang Renfeng's sleeve and whispered, his voice full of panic: "It's better to avoid trouble. If we offend him badly, it might implicate our family."
Huang Renfeng's eyes darted around, and he grinned, revealing a set of bright white teeth. "So it's Mr. Feng. Please forgive me for not recognizing you immediately and for offending you. I apologize. I was just trying to protect my friend and got too excited, so I spoke without thinking. I hope you won't hold it against me."
He bowed to Feng Jingyao, his attitude respectful and sincere.
Apologizing won't cost you much; if you want to survive in the long run, you have to be flexible and adaptable.
...This is his survival rule as Sister Yu's number one underling.
Feng Jingyao couldn't possibly make a big fuss about this, because it wouldn't be in the right to say it, so he went along with it and said, "This is the last time."
Xiao Ling was a little embarrassed. She couldn't let it go like that. Disapprovingly, she pinched the flesh on Feng Jingyao's waist. No way! She wanted that blond-haired guy to apologize again. He hadn't shown any sincerity whatsoever. Where did she put her face?
"bite--"
Just then, the elevator doors suddenly opened.
Huang Renfeng and the others exchanged glances, then dashed out and quickly disappeared down the corridor.
A moment of silence fell.
"Ahem..." The lobby manager coughed twice, putting his fist to his lips, to clear his throat before saying, "We've arrived at the 20th floor. This way, please, our three distinguished guests."
-
2013 private room.
Suddenly, with a loud "bang," Huang Renfeng and the other two rushed in, panting as they sat down in chairs and hurriedly gulped down tea, their perplexing behavior leaving everyone baffled.
Yu Wan was startled, her hand trembled, and her game character was instantly knocked down, turning into a loot box the next second.
The team was ranked second, just one step away from winning.
She lazily exited the game and placed her phone on the table.
"San'er, what happened?" Meng Shen raised his eyebrows in confusion.
As Huang Renfeng poured tea, he recounted what had happened in the elevator. Finally, he tapped the bottom of his teacup on the table, his face contorted with misery, and said, "...So, tell me, am I unlucky or not?"
Yu Wan casually raised her eyes, crossed her arms and leaned back, smiling nonchalantly: "It's pretty unlucky."
You can run into their family just by going out for a meal. Does this count as some kind of karmic entanglement from a thousand lifetimes?
"Sister Yu understands me best." Huang Renfeng was moved to tears, his loyalty to Yu Wan was well worth it.
Tang Yue's slightly worried gaze fell on Yu Wan, lingering for more than ten seconds before shifting to Huang Renfeng, and he said coldly, "Patriarch Feng always keeps his word. Since he said he wouldn't pursue the matter, there's no need for him to secretly trip you up."
Upon hearing this, Huang Renfeng breathed a sigh of relief, and his smile returned to its bright state: "Brother Yue, have you ordered yet?"
Tang Yue smiled faintly: "You guys order."
