Chapter 20: Gifts

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Liu Feng’s words were undoubtedly a heavy slap to the faces of the Jiang and Chu families. Jiang He and the Chu couple instantly pulled their faces down.

The crowd below was noisy. Qin Xi quickly stepped forward and brought Liu Feng down from the stage in a seemingly friendly but forceful manner, avoiding the prying eyes of the crowd.

“Lil Feng, you can’t say such things carelessly.”

Qin Xi gently pushed Liu Feng and gestured to Jiang He, who had a dark expression on his face. “Look at how angry your father is. Quickly apologize to your father and Mr. Chu.”

“I’m just telling the truth. Why should I apologize?”

Liu Feng’s tone was indifferent, but in Jiang He’s eyes, she seemed especially arrogant. He was about to get angry, but Qin Xi gave him a look, still wearing a smile on her face. “Lil Feng, you just came back from the countryside. You don’t even know anyone in Jing City, so how can you have a boyfriend?”

“I know you blame your father for not discussing it with you in advance, but now is not the time to be angry…”

“Do you not understand human language?”

Liu Feng raised her eyebrows and coldly glanced at the hypocritical Qin Xi and the Chu couple. She said word by word, “I said, I have a boyfriend!”

Qin Xi paused and secretly gritted her teeth. However, there was an indulgent smile on her face, as if she was a loving mother. “Then tell me, which family’s Young Master is he from?”

“He’s not a young master. He’s just an ordinary person.”

Liu Feng’s words immediately made Qin Xi and the Chu couple burst into laughter.

Jiang He lowered his eyes gloomily and scolded angrily, “Ridiculous! Why don’t you take a look at your status? How can an ordinary person be worthy of the Jiang Family? !”

“What about my status?”

Liu Feng curled her lips mockingly and said meaningfully, “What status do I even have? I’m just a wild girl who grew up in the countryside. Isn’t it just right to find an ordinary person? How can I be worthy of the only son of the Chu Family?”

Seeing that Liu Feng was still unrepentant, Jiang He was just about to threaten her when a person suddenly walked in from outside the door, immediately attracting the attention of the surrounding people.

“This… isn’t this the Gu family’s Driver Wang?”

Someone recognized that the person was the Gu family’s exclusive chauffeur and respectfully made way for him.

Liu Feng was secretly speechless. The Gu family was indeed a wealthy family. Even the chauffeur’s status was higher than ordinary people’s.

“Mr. Jiang.”

Driver Wang revealed neither servile nor overbearing smile and handed the gift box in his hand to Jiang He. “This is a gift from the Gu family. Please accept it, Mr. Jiang.”

The Gu family personally sent a gift to the Jiang Family?

Everyone was shocked and envious. It seemed that the Gu family really valued the Jiang family’s reputation. It was probably because of Jiang Yue.

It looked like… Jiang Yue might really be the Gu family’s daughter-in-law in the future.

“Mr. Wang.”

Jiang Yue naturally did not miss the envious gazes of the crowd. She was secretly elated. She raised her chin slightly and walked forward in a dignified manner as if she was very familiar with the other party. “It’s been hard on you. The banquet has just started. Why don’t you stay and join us?”

“There’s no need, Miss Jiang.”

Driver Wang, who was originally distant and courteous, saw Jiang Yue, and the smile on his face immediately brimmed with sincerity. “The Old Master is still waiting for me to report back, so I won’t delay any further.”

“How’s the Old Master’s health? I heard that he didn’t seem to be doing too well last time?”

A trace of worry hung on Jiang Yue’s face, but she kept paying attention to the expressions of the people around her from the corner of her eyes.

As expected, many people were envious when they saw that she was familiar with Driver Wang.

Driver Wang did not dare to make any rash comments since it concerned the privacy of Old Master Gu’s body, so he cleverly found a topic to change the topic.

Jiang Yue also realized that she should not have mentioned Old Master Gu’s body, so she cleverly did not continue to ask. When it was about time, Driver Wang took his leave.

The Jiang family could not persuade Driver Wang to stay any longer. Jiang Yue obediently stood beside Qin Xi and smiled. “Driver Wang, please go back and tell Old Master Gu that I’ll visit him in person another day to thank him for the gift.”

Driver Wang looked at her in surprise. “This gift is for the Elder Miss of the Jiang family.”

A gift for Liu Feng?!

This time, not only were the Jiang family and the Chu family shocked, even Liu Feng, who had nothing to do, widened her eyes in shock.

“Driver Wang, are you sure you didn’t remember wrongly?”

Jiang Yue’s smile was a little forced. Her face was slightly gloomy, and her hands, which were hanging by her sides, were tightly clenched. “Elder sister has just returned. The Old Master doesn’t know elder sister, so why would he give her a gift?”

Driver Wang also shook his head in confusion, but he said with certainty, “It is indeed for the eldest daughter of the Jiang family.”

Jiang Yue did not expect that she was thinking too highly of herself and even make a big mistake. She wished that she could find a hole in the ground and hide in it, not daring to look at the people around her.

Jiang He and Qin Xi’s expressions were also particularly ugly. For a moment, they could not figure out the meaning of the Gu family.

After a long time, Jiang Yue squeezed out a smile with difficulty. “It seems that sister has already secretly made contact with the Gu Family?”

“Actually, sister doesn’t need to hide it from us. As long as my sister likes it, just tell me.. I can give up the engagement with the Gu family to sister.”
