Urban God of War: The Live-in Son-in-law

Chapter 36: Our Hong Family Does Not Welcome You

After leaving Mingzhu Grand Hotel, Ye Feng and his group first returned to the Fu Family.

At the banquet in the Mingzhu Hotel earlier, Fu Wenhua and Fu Qing from the Fu Family had also been present and naturally witnessed the scene of Young Master Jiang being beaten up.

However, they didn’t feel any sense of relief. As soon as they saw Ye Feng getting out of the car, Fu Zuoxing rushed out hurriedly from inside.

"Ye! I heard that at the Mingzhu Grand Hotel banquet, you beat up Young Master Jiang. Is that true?"

Ye Feng smiled and said, "I didn’t expect you to be so well-informed."

"It’s over, now we are really done for! The Fu Family is finished!" Fu Zuoxing’s wife slapped her forehead, her face already ashen.

With a clenched jaw, Fu Zuoxing said, "Who allowed you to do such a thing? Don’t you know who Young Master Jiang is? Don’t you realize the status of the Jiang Family in the Southern River Region Jiangnan Province? Not to mention a small place like Jiangdu City, even in the entire Province, the Jiang Family is a super wealthy family!"

Taking a step forward, Fu Zi said coldly, "So what? Do we have to be spineless cowards like you, always bending over backwards for others?"

Fu Zuoxing roared, "You have no right to speak here, you ungrateful wretch! For Young Master Jiang to take a fancy to you is the fortune of your wild tribe for eight generations. Not only did you fail to appreciate it, you actually refused Young Master Jiang."

Fu Qing pouted and chimed in, "Exactly, why pretend to be some Holy Maiden? What’s wrong with Young Master Jiang? He’s handsome and talented; his family’s power is immense. If you’d accepted his invitation earlier, none of these troubles would have followed."

Fu Wenhua said, "Dad, it’s already too late to say anything now. That Ye has already beaten up the cripple, and the Jiang Family will definitely not let us off. We should quickly think of a way to remedy this situation."

"Wenhua is right. Think quickly of how to rectify this. Otherwise, we will surely suffer the consequences along with this waste!" Fu Zuoxing’s wife said.

Fu Qing snorted, "If you ask me, just capture this Ye and personally escort him to the Jiang Family. Maybe then the Jiang Family won’t blame us."

"Exactly, Qing’er has a good idea. Zuo Xing, what are you standing there for? Hurry up and capture this cripple Ye before it’s too late!" Fu Zuoxing’s wife urged again and again.

Fu Zuoxing didn’t move. Instead, he narrowed his eyes and stared intently at Ye Feng. He was no fool; Young Master Jiang always had bodyguards when he went out, and their skills were no joke, the lowest among them being Sixth and Seventh Stage masters of External Strength.

To be able to decisively knock down such masters, it indicated that the unassuming man standing behind Ye Feng was at least a master of the Eighth and Ninth Stage of External Strength, and possibly even a Great Grandmaster.

But even if it were a Great Grandmaster, what of it? There were three Great Masters in the Jiang Family, not to mention the former Southern Territory Town Master who was the head of the family.

All of a sudden, Fu Zuoxing asked, "Ye, tell me truthfully, what is your status now?"

Ye Feng laughed and lifting the corners of his mouth, said, "You’re asking my status? Have you considered whether you’re even qualified to ask?"

"How dare you!"

Fu Wenhua roared; he initially wanted to point at Ye Feng’s nose but then he suddenly remembered what had happened to Jiang Tianlong and hastily drew back his hand, grinding his teeth, "You audacious brat, if you think you’re so capable, why did you return to the Fu Family, bringing trouble upon us?"

Fu Qing curled her lip in contempt, "Isn’t it obvious? Where else would a cripple go after being crippled? When Fu Zuoming died, he left a sum of money for them. That’s why they came back to fight over that inheritance."

Fu Zuo Xing gritted his teeth and snorted, "Out of consideration for my second brother, Fu Zuo Ming, I won’t lay a hand on you. But let me tell you, starting from today, that Ye surname boy, along with Fu Shen and Fu Zi, you three will no longer be members of our Fu Family."

"Tomorrow morning, I will announce to the whole of Jiangdu that the three of you have been thoroughly expelled from the Fu Family, henceforth completely severing any ties with us!"

Fu Wenhua said, "Dad, this is a good plan. Announce it to the whole Jiangdu City, so the Jiang Family will also know that we have nothing to do with them. That way, they won’t implicate us. Not only should we announce it, but we should also vehemently scold and blame that Ye cripple, thoroughly distancing ourselves from him."

Fu Qing said, "Announcing it tomorrow morning might be too late. I fear the people from the Jiang Family will descend upon Jiangdu City by tomorrow morning. Dad, you should go and do it tonight, right now. Announce it, expel these three from the Fu Family and completely sever all relations with them!"

"Alright, you’re right. I’ll go do it now!" Fu Zuo Xing flung his arm with resolve and strode towards his own old Western-style house, evidently ready to issue the announcement.

Ye Feng shook his head but said nothing. He originally wanted to give the Fu Family a chance, for the sake of his foster father, to offer them a future. But now it seemed it wasn’t that he harbored no gratitude, but rather that Fu Zuo Xing and the others simply lacked any virtue.

"Forget it, I’ll return to the Hong Family now." Ye Feng decided not to go inside anymore.

Fu Zi scoffed coldly, "Third brother, don’t take these guys’ words to heart. This damned Fu Family, if it weren’t for thinking of avenging our foster father, we would have wanted to leave for good a long time ago. Do they really think we care about their little property?"

Ye Feng looked at Fu Shen and asked, "What about you, second brother? What are your thoughts?"

Fu Shen gave a bitter smile and said, "Naturally, I have nothing to feel nostalgic about. However, I’m just wondering if what you said earlier was true."

Ye Feng asked, "Which words?"

Fu Shen said, "You said that even if the Jiang Family head, who once held the commander post, came here, he would have to crawl before you. Is that true?"

Ye Feng said, "We brothers grew up together. When have you ever seen me lie?"

Fu Shen laughed and suddenly let out a long breath, exclaiming jubilantly, "Good, very good. Ever since childhood, you’ve been the king of kids, showing an extraordinary temperament. I thought that our eldest brother becoming the Southern Territory Town Master was the pinnacle of success. But you, third brother, are really something...

"With that statement of yours just now, I’m reassured. From now on, you and I, brothers together, even if it’s through a sea of knives or flames, I’ll jump in with you!"

Ye Feng nodded, his heart, as firm as iron, was inevitably moved at this moment.

Subsequently, Ye Feng and Hong Qingyan left and returned to the Hong Family under the cover of night.

The front reception hall of the Hong Family was still brightly lit, though there were no visitors. The patriarch, Hong Zhenguo, was not present. Instead, Hong Tianming, Hong Wei, Hong Yuting, and others rushed out at the sound of the car.

"How dare you, this brash and ignorant troublemaker of a crippled son-in-law, come back? Why are you even here?" Zhang Yuman was the first to speak.

"We’ve just received the city-wide announcement from the Fu Family. They’ve completely disowned you, the foster son, and now that the Fu Family doesn’t want you, you have the gall to come to our Hong Family? Do you really think the Hong Family is a shelter that takes in any trouble-making cats or dogs?"

"Get out; our Hong Family does not welcome you!"
