Chapter 127 Bai Zhi cannot tolerate any flaws

The Feng family held a superior position.

Feng Hong has been in charge of the Feng family for many years. Looking across the northern city, only the core members of the other three great families could make him personally come out to greet them like this.

Why would they value someone like Jiang Li, from such a humble background with such a terrible reputation, so much?
"The old man is waiting for you inside," Feng Hong said. "Feng Yi will take you there first, I'll be there shortly."

Jiang nodded.

The others could hardly believe their ears.

Are the old master of the Feng family waiting for Jiang Li?

"Sister Jiang Li, let's go." Feng Yi said, leading her inside while chatting casually with her: "I've prepared a lot of dishes that you like to eat today, Sister Jiang Li."

How did you know what I like to eat?

Feng Yi scratched his head, embarrassed, and said, "I asked Butler Feng to ask Butler Rong."

The elite families at the top of the pyramid in the northern city have a small social circle, and everyone basically knows each other.

Jiang Li put her hand on her shoulder, bent her index and middle fingers, and pinched her cheek with the back of her fingers. "So cute, I'll treat you to candy."

Feng Yi smelled a very fragrant scent on her fingertips, mixed with a very faint hint of mint tobacco.

Before she could react, a slender, beautiful hand held a mint candy and offered it to her.

Seeing that she didn't answer for a while, Jiang Li lowered his shoulders and tilted his head to look at her face, "What's wrong, little beauty?"

Feng Yi met her flirtatious fox-like eyes, her heart pounded, her face flushed, and she quickly took it.

She didn't dare look Jiang Li in the eye, and said in a muffled voice, "Thank you, Sister Jiang Li."

The others watched from afar as Jiang Li and Feng Yi of the Feng family interacted, their eyes filled with even more panic.

Meng Xiao was terrified; her fingertips clenched tightly, yet she still couldn't stop trembling slightly.

She originally spoke up for Chu Yan to curry favor with Luo Fei, never expecting that Jiang Li and the Feng family would become so close...

Like everyone else, they could only pray that the Feng family hadn't heard what they had just said.

Feng Hong swept his gaze across the crowd, his eyes sharp and exuding the oppressive aura of a superior.

He casually instructed Steward Feng: "Those who spoke rudely and couldn't control their mouths, please ask them to leave."

This statement is a blatant slap in the face for Jiang Li and his ilk.

They dared not even imagine the consequences of being expelled from the banquet by the Feng family, how much loss they would suffer, and how much exclusion they would face in the future.

A group of people left, their faces pale.

Feng Hong's gaze fell on Luo Fei's direction, and he said politely, "Thank you, Teacher Luo Fei, for attending my father's birthday banquet. However, I hope you will not bring anyone not on the guest list into the inner hall, so as not to break the rules."

Luo Fei smiled, her eyes icy. "What does President Feng mean by this?"

Feng Hong smiled in a formulaic manner and said in a very polite tone, "I hope Teacher Luo Fei doesn't mean to switch things up."

After he finished speaking, he looked at Chu Yan and Yu Xuanchen, his meaning very clear.

Lophie's face suddenly turned ugly; she had never been humiliated in public before.

"Please forgive me, Teacher Luo Fei." Feng Hong smiled, nodded in acknowledgment, and turned to leave.

Chu Yan looked at Luo Fei anxiously: "Teacher, what should we do?"

She didn't want to miss this rare opportunity!

Luo Fei gripped her bag tightly, not wanting to lose her composure and become a laughingstock. She could only suppress her anger and try to save face, saying, "This is Old Master Feng's birthday banquet. Since the Feng family has this custom, you can stay outside today."

Chu Yan panicked: "Teacher..."

Lofi didn't look at her, remaining elegant as she walked in, her high heels clicking on the floor.

Chu Yan and Yu Xuanchen's faces turned deathly pale instantly.

The stark contrast between their expectations and reality made them feel utterly ashamed. The expectant gazes from those around them felt like knives slashing across their faces.

Yu Xuanchen stared intently at Jiang Li's retreating figure, who had already gone inside, his fists clenched tightly.

"Thank goodness I didn't say anything hurtful." A woman breathed a sigh of relief.

The others also looked relieved.

Having learned their lesson, no one dared to delay any longer, and they all quickly entered the field.

As soon as someone came in, they covered their mouth and whispered to their companion, "They've hooked up with that guy from the Qin family. Even someone like Jiang Li can step into this place. It's an insult to our status."

His tone was undisguisedly mocking and disdainful.

His companion was startled and quickly said, "Don't cause trouble, don't say things like that again."

The other person scoffed, "So even you're afraid of her?"

His companion whispered, "Do you think it's just the Qin family?"

The other person was slightly taken aback: "What do you mean?"

"I heard that Jiang Li and Master Rong seem to have a very close relationship."

"How could that be?" How could Master Rong possibly be interested in someone like that?

Everyone in the entire North City knows that Master Rong is unapproachable, with a cold and aloof personality. Her only interest is embroidery, and even at Elder Feng's birthday banquet, she couldn't be invited to attend.

The companion explained in detail: "Jiang Li was present at Master Rong's graduation project assessment this year and even gave guidance to the students in the training program."

The other person turned their head abruptly, looking at her in disbelief.

The companion said, "This matter hasn't spread yet; only people from a few major families know about it."

This was told to her by a socialite from a prominent family whom she had recently been trying to curry favor with, who was in a good mood, and also told her not to mess with Jiang Li.

Upon hearing this, the other person's face turned deathly pale.

Judging from the Feng family's attitude, this matter should be true.

"In short, you should think it over carefully and make sure you don't cause trouble for your family," his companion advised, considering their relationship.

……

Feng Yi and Jiang Li entered the lounge.

Grandpa Feng and his wife got up and walked towards Jiang Li.

The old master of the Wen family glanced at Jiang Li, his sharp eyes deep and unfathomable. "You've come to us so quickly. Did Old Master Qin already know about the relationship between Jiang Li and Master Rong?"

When Jiang Lila brought down the Du family, it was a slap in the face to the Wen family.

The four major families have long held sway over politics and law in Beicheng, making them absolute centers of money and power. This is why countless smaller families consider it an honor to be associated with them.

Who would have thought that even with a powerful backer, they could no longer protect those below them?

Without Qin Yexiao's meddling, the Wen family wouldn't have suffered such a huge loss of face.

Qin Yexiao went crazy for a woman, and the old man has lost his mind too?
"She's only popular in Zhongzhou. How can she compare to Bai Zhi, who trained in the Gray Building?" Old Master Wen said with a hint of sarcasm. "Besides, Rong Xiu is a woman. Her vision is limited to the small world of intangible cultural heritage. Although she has a wide network of connections, she can't do many things for people like us. How can Old Master Qin's judgment be as poor as a woman's?"

He found it laughable that Rong Xiu had taken a liking to Jiang Li.

Comparing Angelica dahurica to Ginger is more like a joke of the century. Does Ginger even deserve it?

Old Master Qin smiled indifferently, "Who can compare to Bai Zhi?"

"Then Old Master Qin, you'd better be careful. Bai Zhi is very intolerant of any imperfections. Don't let the biggest stain on the Qin family happen while you're in power," Old Master Wen said with a forced smile.

As he spoke, he glanced at Old Master Feng and his wife, who had personally come to greet Jiang Li, and scoffed, "The Feng family gives Jiang Li such a big face, I don't know what's wrong with them, they're so short-sighted. No wonder the Wen family has been able to crush them in every project they've done over the years. When they become the laughingstock of Beijing, don't come begging me to clean up the mess."
