Chapter 2206: Chapter 2206: Verbal Truth (27)

The old man snorted coldly and reprimanded the Chief Steward twice.

The Chief Steward listened without saying a word, appearing very submissive.

Chuzheng saw that the old man was reprimanding energetically and had nothing to do with herself, planning to sneak away.

But the old man’s gaze shifted and fixated on her: "Stop!"

Chuzheng blinked, looked around, and confirmed that the old man was calling her.

She paused slightly, didn’t speak, and just calmly looked at the old man.

"Is this Mo Xiangqiu’s adopted daughter?" The old man turned his head and asked Fei Youping.

"Yes, grandpa," Fei Jinxue answered.

Fei Youping also nodded.

"Ha, indeed raised by a small household, without any sense of propriety." The old man began to pick faults: "What did Fei Jiang see in you?"

Chuzheng thought for a moment, still replied, "I fancy him."

Bang—

The old man slammed the chair with his palm.

The momentum and the sound made even Chuzheng’s hand ache.

"Little girl, you have quite the mouth on you, daring to say such a thing!" The old man scolded with a grim face: "How did your father teach you?"

"He never taught me."

The adoptive parents found that the original owner didn’t like to talk and had an unpleasant personality, so they hardly cared for her.

At most, they gave her a meal.

She was better off at the orphanage; at least there, even if she didn’t like to talk, there were still people who cared for and guided her.

The old man: "..."

The old man couldn’t respond to that.

"Grandpa, don’t be angry, take care of your health," Fei Jinxue supported the old man to sit down.

Holding his chest, the old man said, "You are all trying to anger me to death!"

Fei Jinxue quickly comforted him, speaking playfully and skillfully, soon coaxing the old man.

After the old man calmed down slightly, he pointed at Chuzheng, sneering coldly: "Do you really think Fei Jiang will marry you? You are just..."

"I can marry him too."

"..." The word "toy" was stuck in the old man’s throat, unable to come out.

He had never seen such a bold young person.

This is the Fei Family!

Fei Jiang is the authority of the Fei Family.

She actually dared to say she would marry Fei Jiang?

"Grandpa, why are you here?"

A lazy voice sounded from outside, and a man walked in leisurely, perhaps having just finished a formal meeting, dressed in a suit.

This was the first time Chuzheng had seen him dressed so formally.

I have to say, a good-looking person looks good in anything.

The Good Person Card looks even better when not worn... oops!

Chuzheng quickly stopped her bold thoughts threatening a 404.

The old man’s attention shifted, glanced at Fei Jiang, and snorted coldly: "If I didn’t come, would there be no place for me, this old man, anymore?"

Fei Jiang said with a smile: "Grandpa is joking, this is always your home."

Although Fei Jiang was smiling, there was not a trace of politeness or respect in his words.

The old man could hear it, and his face darkened as well.

This grandson of his...

He couldn’t deny his abilities, but his character really makes people... unable to like him.

Just like his mother, with that sinister manner, who knows when she might act up.

"I wonder if grandpa has come today to give some instructions?"

"If I didn’t come, I wouldn’t know what you’re up to here."

"What am I up to?" Fei Jiang said innocently: "I’m handling the company well."

The old man pointed at Chuzheng: "She... what’s with this woman?"

Fei Jiang walked to Chuzheng’s side and wrapped his arm around her: "Let me introduce to grandpa, this is my girlfriend, Mo Chuzheng."

The old man was furious: "She’s Mo Xiangqiu’s adopted daughter, so she’s essentially your sister. Do you have any sense of shame?"

"Grandpa, my little girl and the Fei Family have no blood relation whatsoever. Is there anything wrong with us being together?"

"If I say no, then no! What will others say about our Fei Family? You may be shameless, but I still care!"

"Oh..." Fei Jiang dragged the word, his deep eyes gradually turning cold: "Grandpa wants to interfere with my marriage?"

The old man said: "A parent’s order and a matchmaker’s words is a traditional virtue. Your parents are not here, I am your elder, it’s only right for me to make decisions for you."

Fei Jiang’s face darkened, but in an instant, it cleared up: "Has grandpa forgotten who is in charge of the Fei Family now?"

The old man’s sagging face twitched, his eyes slightly trembling.

He had been making waves in the business world for so many years.

Who would have thought, that in the end, as he aged, he would be forced into such a situation by his own grandson.

The old man felt anger rise from his heart: "I shouldn’t have let your crazy mother give birth to you!"

Fei Jiang’s expression suddenly fell.

Chuzheng could feel the eerie hostility emanating from Fei Jiang.

She held Fei Jiang’s wrist, her fingers squeezing into his fingers, interlocking.

"Fei Jiang, calm down, I’m here." Don’t go blackening out of nowhere!!

The hostility breeding in Fei Jiang’s heart gradually dissipated when Chuzheng’s voice sounded.

"I’m fine." Fei Jiang’s eyes reined in the hostility.

He raised his eyes to look at the old man over there, his lips curved into a mocking arc: "When grandpa forced my dad to marry my mom, why didn’t you think she was a lunatic?"

"When you schemed to have her pregnant for my mom’s family assets, why didn’t you think she was a lunatic?"

"Do you really think that the dirty deeds you did can be hidden forever?"

Fei Jiang’s speech was not fast, but the people present dared not interrupt.

The more Fei Jiang spoke, the brighter his smile: "Grandpa, I heard there are Eighteen Layers of Hell. Which layer do you think you’ll end up in after you die?"

The old man’s lips trembled: "You... you know everything?"

Fei Jiang squeezed Chuzheng’s palm, returning to a casual state: "Grandpa loves your daughter, but someone else’s daughter is just a tool to be exploited."

The old man’s heart slightly tightened.

Back then the Fei Family... had no choice.

At that time, the Fei Family was facing challenges, and Fei Jiang’s mother’s family had only her as a daughter, but... slightly mentally unstable.

However, most of the time she was normal.

By marrying her, the Fei Family could overcome the difficulties.

It was a very profitable deal.

So the old man let his third son, who hadn’t married yet, marry Fei Jiang’s mother.

The old man always thought Fei Jiang inherited his mother’s traits and didn’t know about those old matters because... those who could die had mostly passed.

Fei Jiang’s maternal family’s assets had long been merged into the Fei Family.

Unexpectedly...

He knew everything.

The old man felt a chill pass through his body.

For so long, he never revealed he knew about that matter.

Just how long has he been plotting?

Fei Jiang didn’t care what the old man was thinking: "Grandpa came today for Little Sister Jin Xue’s marriage, right?"

The old man’s face twitched, his gaze meeting the person standing over there.

The latter slowly smiled, his voice seemed gentle: "Little Sister Jin Xue’s marriage is already settled, grandpa better not intervene, or I can’t guarantee you’ll spend your twilight years in peace."
