Chapter 1162: Erica Winston
The atmosphere in the living room was silent. A single drop of water that leaked out from the kitchen faucet into the sink could be heard.
"You say what?" Finally, after what felt like an eternity, Xu Feng’s eyebrows were raised as he questioned. "Your father is the President of Life Water?"
Life Water—the most coveted item that many sought to reproduce, but failed to achieve the sa result as the original creator was a force to be reckoned with.
Although there were still replicas being sold in the store, their popularity wasn’t that great.
And with the passage of ti, many began to treat the original Life Water as a main staple for nutrients and supplents. Of course, it was only applicable to the rich.
The poor could barely afford an inferior quality. But even then, they would store it and treat it as a sacred item.
The Life Water company itself was worth over trillions!
The company was controlled and wholly owned by the powerful Winston Family.
"Your last na is Winston?" Xu Feng asked with a bewildered expression. The information was simply too shocking.
Just showing a bewildered expression alone made it clear how astonishing the news was. If it were anyone else, then they might have fainted on the spot for sharing an apartnt with a Winston mber.
"I still prefer being called Erica." She faked a cough and gently reminded him. The Winston last na had brought her nurous nuisances in the past.
She would rather be treated as just Erica than Erica Winston. Just one na difference made the aning entirely different.
The forr was a regular, beautiful woman, whereas the latter was soone whom everyone wished to covet.
And it wasn’t just for beauty alone, but the power behind her family. No, it was more correct to say they covet the power and wealth she owned.
Beauty was just a bonus to them.
Seeing Xu Feng’s stunned expression, Erica wondered if she had made the wrong choice in revealing her identity.
’Was I mistaken?’ If Xu Feng starts to act and behave the sa as those n she t in the past, then she would be disappointed.
Luckily, what she expected was completely different.
"Damn, so you were a rich woman from the start?" Xu Feng twitched his brows and facepald.
"I can’t believe you would make
pay for snacks when your wealth is many tis higher than mine. I thought all rich people love to flaunt and spend their money without hesitation."
Erica’s face twisted into an ugly expression.
This damn bastard!
"Who said I’m rich?" She snapped. "If I were rich, then would I need to lease a room out? Not to ntion, the person who accepted the lease was soone who desired my apartnt and wanted to kick
out!"
"Ahem, that’s in the past." Xu Feng cleared his throat.
A few seconds later, both parties cald down and no longer discussed the past interaction.
"Anyway, are you not curious why I’m here?" Erica inquired. She thought he would start asking questions about why soone with her status was in a third-grade city.
Actually, no, a second-graded city now, albeit not officially announced yet.
"Is that sothing to be curious about?" He took a seat on the couch and yawned.
"For a wealthy heiress to beco pennywise, you definitely broke off with your family for certain reasons. Your cards and wealth are probably frozen, too, resulting in you needing to lease a room out to sustain yourself. But even then, you aren’t completely hopeless, granted this apartnt was fully owned by you out of a random purchase."
"..."
Speechless, Erica’s mouth was left agape.
He actually guessed everything correctly!
"Did you guess all that from watching dramas?" She asked.
"Bingo!" Xu Feng snapped his fingers. "Almost every rich drama has these plotlines. It’s so boring and bland to viewers nowadays."
Though he also falls into the sa category, alongside Zhao Kai. Their life could be said to be cliché and attractive enough to be put into a screenplay for broadcast either as drama or animation.
"Alright, that’s enough of my private life." Erica promptly ended this sub-topic and returned to her initial goal.
"So, can you set up a eting with the Vanguard Guild Captain?"
"Based on your status and our relationship, I suppose I can. But I need to ask sothing that might offend you." Xu Feng then lowered his tone. "Are you trying to et with her as Erica or as soone from the Winston Family?"
If it were the Winston Family, then Xu Feng would have to tread carefully.
A possible collaboration with them was on the table. But that would depend on the details.
But if it was Erica herself, then Xu Feng didn’t mind lending her a helping hand out of gratitude.
"As Erica." She flatly replied. "My family pissed
off, so I decided to venture solo in business. How else would the Miracle Pavilion be able to enrage ?"
Since she established herself as a solo businesswoman without using the Winston na, it was natural for others to start targeting her.
Soon, Xu Feng was enlightened about Erica’s frustration and why she had been gone for so long. Apparently, it was because her business was being hindered and sabotaged by the overbearing Miracle Pavilion.
They didn’t know her true identity, hence their aggressive actions to destroy her.
"Wow, the Miracle Pavilion sure is domineering!" Xu Feng laughed in humor.
To think they were this arrogant and even targeted the heiress of Life Water Company!
The courage it took was sothing else.
Not even he would foolishly target a behemoth like that for no apparent reason.
"They sure are, and I saw the Vanguard Guild also took a hit from them. But unlike , who only fended them off, your guild managed to overthrow them completely. That feat alone made
want to discuss cooperation." Erica said honestly.
Initially, she returned and hoped that Xu Feng might have so connections to help her out in the Divine World.
Yet she never imagined stumbling across so gullible n and obtaining astonishing information.
