Chapter 179: Chen Feng’s Breakdown, Xiao Qingge’s Compromise
After receiving the information from his subordinates, Chen Feng rushed to Tiannan Road.
As soon as he got out of the car, he saw Jiang Che supporting a drunken Xiao Qingge as they walked out of the restaurant.
“Young Master Jiang, where are we going…” Xiao Qingge hiccupped, her face flushed with intoxication, and asked somewhat confusedly.
She had been made to drink quite a bit by Jiang Che earlier, and her mind was still a bit foggy.
“Taking you to a fun place…” Jiang Che naturally noticed Chen Feng’s arrival and a sinister smile curled at the corner of his mouth.
“A fun place?” Xiao Qingge repeated Jiang Che’s words, already somewhat disoriented.
“Jiang Che, let go of Qingge!” Seeing the intimate actions between the two, Chen Feng finally couldn’t bear it anymore and shouted angrily at Jiang Che.
His face was flushed red, his fists clenched tightly, and his skin was trembling. Clearly, he was extremely agitated by their actions.
“Mr. Chen, why are you here? Do you really need to worry about the matters between Miss Qingge and me?” Jiang Che sneered, looking at Chen Feng with disdain.
If Chen Feng hadn’t come, he wouldn’t have waited any longer. After all, time waits for no one, and Xiao Qingge was just too tempting in her current state.
“She’s my fiancée, of course I should worry!” Hearing Jiang Che’s words, Chen Feng was almost driven mad with anger. How could someone as shameless as Jiang Che exist in this world?
Listening to their argument, Xiao Qingge shook her slightly dizzy head, regaining some clarity.
Seeing Chen Feng’s arrival, Xiao Qingge looked surprised and a bit annoyed, “Why are you here?”
“Of course, I came to protect you, Qingge. Don’t be afraid, with me here, Jiang Che can’t do anything to you. Now, come with me.” Chen Feng said earnestly.
He could see that Xiao Qingge had been made to drink a lot by Jiang Che, and it was obvious what was going to happen next. He couldn’t just stand by and let it happen, as Xiao Qingge was his fiancée!
“Why should I go with you?” Xiao Qingge sneered, looking at Chen Feng with disgust. The cool evening breeze had sobered her up quite a bit.
She couldn’t understand why this guy kept following her around like a lapdog.
“This…” Chen Feng was taken aback, clearly not expecting Xiao Qingge to respond like this. He then said bitterly.
“I’m your fiancé. You’ve had too much to drink today. Let me take you home.”
“I’ve already broken off the engagement with you. There’s nothing between us anymore. I’m not your fiancée.” Xiao Qingge said irritably. Hadn’t she made herself clear enough? Why couldn’t this guy just let her go?
It was because of this bastard’s sudden appearance at the Xiao family last time that Jiang Che got upset. Otherwise, she could have stalled for a few more days and wouldn’t have been forced into this situation so quickly.
Jiang Che’s anger was something she couldn’t afford, and it would bring disaster to the entire Xiao family.
She wasn’t stupid; she knew what was going to happen tonight. It was because of Chen Feng that she was in such a passive position, which made her despise him.
“Were you not coerced by Jiang Che?” Chen Feng asked, somewhat dumbfounded, because he realized he might have misunderstood. He couldn’t see any reluctance in Xiao Qingge’s expression.
“Young Master Jiang, I’ll head back to the car first.” Xiao Qingge didn’t even bother with this fool anymore. Realizing Chen Feng really couldn’t take a hint, she greeted Jiang Che and got into the passenger seat of the Bugatti.
“Mr. Chen, Miss Qingge and I are mutually consenting. If you continue to bother her, don’t blame me for being rude.” Jiang Che said mockingly, looking at Chen Feng with disdain in his eyes.
“No… impossible… It must be that you threatened Qingge!” Chen Feng shook his head vigorously, unwilling to accept this reality.
If Xiao Qingge was willing, then what had he been holding onto for the past six years? In an instant, Chen Feng felt like his world had collapsed, his life becoming colorless.
He could tell that there was no grievance in Xiao Qingge’s words. He just didn’t want to accept the truth and was deceiving himself. He had struggled in the northern border for six years, only to come back and find his home stolen?
If Xiao Qingge didn’t have feelings for him, why did she tell him to “stay alive” back then? It was this very sentence from Xiao Qingge that gave Chen Feng the will to persevere. Many times, he escaped death because of it.
But from Xiao Qingge’s words today, there was no indication she had lied. She simply didn’t like him. Had he been deluding himself all these years?
…
“Ding, Chen Feng’s Dao Heart collapsed, mind shattered, luck -3000, reward villain value 60000…”
Listening to the system prompt and looking at the self-doubting Chen Feng, Jiang Che felt disdain.
He thought Chen Feng had a strong heart, after all, he had survived countless bloody battles. But just because of a few words from Xiao Qingge, he fell apart? Indeed, he had overestimated this guy.
“Mr. Chen, instead of lamenting fate’s unfairness here, why not start investigating the truth behind the massacre of your Chen family?” Leaving this sentence, Jiang Che turned and got into the car.
He didn’t want Chen Feng to lose all motivation. If he didn’t find out that the truth was connected to him, Jiang Che couldn’t continue to exploit him.
…
Watching the Bugatti drive away, Chen Feng stood dazed, finally snapping out of it when the nearby Shadow Dragon Guards called out to him.
“Master Tiansha, should we keep following them?” One of the Shadow Dragon Guards asked resolutely, his face full of indignation, deeply sympathizing with Chen Feng’s plight.
No man could bear such a thing—after being away for six years, to return and find his fiancée mingling with another man.
“No need…” Watching the Bugatti disappear into the distance, Chen Feng sighed and closed his eyes sorrowfully.
As Xiao Qingge said, he had no right to entangle with her anymore. There was no engagement between them. However, Chen Feng couldn’t swallow this bitterness. He couldn’t understand why!
Although Xiao Qingge didn’t like him, he could tell she didn’t like Jiang Che either. She must have her reasons for being so submissive.
It seemed that a lot had happened to the Xiao family in his six-year absence. But now, none of this mattered. As Jiang Che said, the most important thing for him was to investigate the truth behind the Chen family’s massacre.
Chen Feng wasn’t surprised that Jiang Che knew his background. Judging by Jiang Che’s attire, he didn’t seem like an ordinary person. It would be easy for him to investigate.
“Let’s head back to Tianchen Group…” Chen Feng left, his figure looking somewhat desolate and lonely…
…
In a presidential suite at the Linjiang International Hotel.
Looking at the overly shy Xiao Qingge, Jiang Che grabbed her ponytail directly…
