ngying looked at the small courtyard, sowhat puzzled, but still followed Chu Feng inside.
"Ha ha! Brother Chu, you won today beautifully, even adding luster to my old face!"
Before ngying could take a closer look, she heard a hearty voice coming from inside the house.
"Brother?"
This address puzzled ngying.
She knew to whom the business belonged, but she did not know why the owner of the voice called Chu Feng ’brother.’
He Zhen ca out from inside the house and was also stunned to see Chu Feng bringing ngying along.
"Brother, I brought a friend over today to distract you," Chu Feng said with a smile.
"Brother? Elder brother?"
What kind of titles were these? ngying felt a bit dizzy.
The elderly man in front of her was recognized; he was the founder of East River University, respected by all of East River, even the entire country.
Yet, Chu Feng’s address seed a bit too peculiar.
"Xiao Feng brought his girlfriend and yet you let the guest stand outside, you old coot," said Lin Xue i, who erged from the house, glaring at He Zhen.
Hearing Lin Xue i referring to herself as Chu Feng’s girlfriend made ngying’s pretty face involuntarily flush.
"Right! Right! Co inside!" It was only then that He Zhen reacted, quickly inviting the two in.
"Xiao Feng, did you bring your girlfriend here for big brother and sister-in-law to see?" Lin Xue i asked kindly.
ngying said, "Professor Lin, you misunderstood, I am Chu Feng’s teacher, I..."
Chu Feng said, "Let explain. I brought Sister ngying here today because we need a favor from you, elder brother."
Chu Feng then recounted the situation regarding ngying to He Zhen and Lin Xue i.
After hearing Chu Feng’s words, He Zhen did not agree imdiately, but turned to ngying and said, "Teacher Xie, I’d like to hear your opinion."
After all, marriage was a matter for two people, and He Zhen really found it inappropriate to engage in matters that forced breaking a wedlock and kidnapping soone.
"Wait! I recall, the eldest son of the Jin family seems to have a congenital defect, intellectually impaired; Teacher Xie, surely the man you are to marry is not him?" Lin Xue i suddenly rembered sothing and spoke.
Upon hearing Lin Xue i’s words, ngying’s face also turned pale, and she helplessly nodded.
"What! Sister ngying, the Jin Family is actually making you marry a fool!" Chu Feng, previously unaware of these details, was also shocked and enraged upon hearing this.
ngying said, "Actually, my marriage to the eldest son of the Jin family is just a cover; in reality, the Jin family wants to be the wife of the second son of the Jin family."
Chu Feng, sowhat angrily, said, "Then why isn’t it the second son of the Jin family who is taking you?"
Lin Xue i said, "As far as I know, the second son of the Jin family is already married. Moreover, the person he married is from the Wu family, but it seems that person cannot conceive."
These kinds of dostic affairs are naturally best known to won, and Chu Feng was completely unaware of them.
"Ridiculous!" He Zhen couldn’t help but slam the table after hearing this.
Chu Feng instantly understood everything after hearing what Lin Xue i had to say.
It turned out that the Jin Family intended to formally marry Xie ngying, but she would only be a concubine for the second son of the Jin Family. This way, if Xie ngying beca pregnant and had children, there would be no grounds for gossip, and the child’s identity could also be legitimate.
After all, an illegitimate child is hard to be acknowledged in a family. A powerful family is like a corporation, beneath which there are many branches and shareholders. They could not afford to be the subject of gossip.
As for why the Jin Family’s second son was not allowed to divorce before remarrying, that too was easy to understand. The second son’s wife was from the Wu Family.
Having realized all this, Chu Feng also felt a surge of anger. This was entirely against ethical norms; such a thing shouldn’t happen, not even in TV shows, yet it was happening right before Chu Feng’s eyes.
Chu Feng shouted, "Sister ngying, why would you agree to such a degrading arrangent!"
Xie ngying’s expression darkened as she said, "Because our family owes the Jin Family."
"What exactly does your family owe the Jin Family to make you sacrifice so much!" Chu Feng was truly feeling angry.
Xie ngying said, "My father was an engineer for the Jin Family, but three years ago, he told he needed to go on a long trip. However, later there was news that my father had a car accident while driving drunk. He survived but was disabled. To save my father, I spent all my savings. Later, the Jin Family treated my father; although he did not survive, the Jin Family did their best.
Through self-effort, I worked desperately to earn money, and I repaid all the savings that my family owed the Jin Family. But the Jin Family still wouldn’t let go..."
As Xie ngying narrated her story, Chu Feng and the other two felt a surge of anger.
Especially He Zhen, who couldn’t imagine such unethical acts occurring in today’s society.
He Zhen wouldn’t be upset if Xie ngying had beco an underground mistress to the Jin Family’s second son, but this situation truly angered him.
Yet, the truly enraged one was Chu Feng, who coldly asked, "Sister ngying, was the place your father was going to three years ago the provincial city?"
Xie ngying looked at Chu Feng, surprised, and asked, "How did you know?"
Chu Feng said, "Sister ngying, if I’m not mistaken, your father was killed by the Jin Family."
"What!"
Xie ngying was shocked to hear what Chu Feng said.
Chu Feng said, "Sister ngying, don’t ask why. Knowing this won’t do you any good."
Lin Xue i pondered for a mont and said, "The Jin Family had never pressured you to marry imdiately, but it wants you to marry the day after tomorrow. And the day after tomorrow is Chu Feng’s competition day, and as you ntioned earlier, the Jin Family knows about your prior relationship with Chu Feng. So..."
Lin Xue i didn’t finish, but He Zhen imdiately slamd the table and angrily said, "Nonsense! It’s all utter nonsense!"
Clearly, the Jin Family was in cahoots with the delegations, and their actions aid solely at destabilizing Chu Feng’s ntal state, making it impossible for him to concentrate on the competition.
Just then, Chu Feng’s phone rang. Seeing Huang Lan’s na on the screen, Chu Feng found a quiet place to answer the call.
"Kid, I’m calling to remind you to be cautious about the competition the day after tomorrow. The competition is complicated. And there might be so people in the exchange group related to the Elite Society!" Huang Lan said on the phone.
