Chu Lianxin lowered her eyes, her emotional fluctuations were unusually obvious.

One can imagine how terrible the situation must have been for both families after the incident.

"The patriarch of the Cheng family not only forced the Feng family to give up some of their core businesses..."

They also gave the Feng family two options: one was to send Feng Bin to jail.

The other is to make him get out of the Great Xia Divine Continent and never come back.

What choice did the Feng family have at that time? Going to jail was definitely not their option.

Then we have no choice but to let Feng Bin leave! Although it means leaving his hometown, at least he'll still be free.

After hearing the story, Ling Feng was not surprised by the Feng family's plight.

After all, Cheng's grandson was left with a lifelong disability, so how could they possibly let Feng Bin off easily?

In the eyes of the Cheng family, this was simply defying the powerful – courting death!

For an ordinary person, they probably wouldn't even have a chance to regret it!

If it weren't for the escalating business rivalry they instigated, which negatively impacted the development of the entire Shanghai business district...

This led those in power to finally intervene forcefully and call for a halt.

Given the ruthless nature of the Cheng family patriarch, how could he possibly let Feng Bin off so easily?

Even if they don't cripple him, they should at least make him suffer the same fate as Cheng Yun to vent their anger.

"What about the Chu family?" Ling Feng tapped the table and asked again.

"The Cheng family gave the Feng family a choice. Didn't they make things difficult for the Chu family because of this?"

"How could that be!" Chu Lianxin sighed deeply, a hint of guilt flashing in her eyes.

"After all, they were fighting over me because of me, so I can be considered the culprit."

How could Old Master Cheng possibly let me go? He'd love to kill me.

"If it weren't for me, how could his little grandson have become a cripple?"

"So what happened next? How did the Cheng family handle the Chu family's affairs?"

"They want me to marry Cheng Yunlai!"

"What?" Ling Feng suddenly raised his head, his voice rising several decibels.

"Is the Cheng family forcing you to marry Cheng Yunlai?"

"Yes!" Chu Lianxin nodded: "Old Master Cheng said that as long as I can marry into the Cheng family,

If we take good care of Cheng Yunlai for the rest of his life, then this matter will be settled, and the Chu family will be able to preserve itself.

However, my dad absolutely refused to agree to these conditions, even if it meant mutual destruction!

"And then what? How did your father-in-law manage to protect you?"

"Use connections!"

Ling Feng raised an eyebrow, clearly somewhat surprised by the answer.

There aren't many people in the entire city who want to get the old master of the Cheng family to agree.

The Chu family actually has this kind of relationship? It's true that you can't underestimate the connections of these wealthy families.

Chu Lianxin noticed the unusual expression on Ling Feng's face and immediately explained:

"He was one of my grandfather's old comrades-in-arms! Although he has been retired for a long time, he still has some prestige."

He personally visited the Cheng family, which finally forced the Cheng family patriarch to swallow his anger.

"Things might not be as simple as you make them out to be."

Ling Feng's gaze sharpened; his intuition told him that things wouldn't end so easily.

"Given the nature of the Cheng family patriarch, he wouldn't suffer a loss so easily."

"really!"

Chu Lianxin gave a bitter smile: "Although the Cheng family is no longer insisting on forcing me to marry into their family..."

However, the Chu family also paid a heavy price, giving up several highly profitable real estate projects.

They even voluntarily gave up the West City subway station and surrounding facilities that the Chu family had been preparing for a long time.

In addition, it is imperative to ensure that we never compete with the Cheng family for market resources in any other area in the future.

After saying this, she sighed, her voice filled with a sense of loss:

"My dad hesitated for two days, but for my happiness, he finally agreed to everything."

Even so, although the Cheng family didn't openly cause trouble for our Chu family,

But the covert targeting over the past few years has never stopped!

Although my dad never told me these things, I've always known about them!

Ling Feng fell silent. His father-in-law, Chu Tianxiong, had paid a considerable price to protect his young wife.

However, the Cheng family's actions were rather unethical and shameless.

They've already gained both face and substance, and now they're secretly engaging in underhanded tactics.

Hehe... Looks like I'll have to cause some trouble for the Cheng family sometime!

Where did Feng Bin go after he left?

Ling Feng stopped tapping on the table and suddenly brought the topic back to itself.

Chu Lianxin shook her head, her throat feeling as if something was stuck there, a dry and painful sensation.

"I don't know! He came to see me the night before I left, but I didn't want to see him!"

Because I feel really sorry for my dad, I made him grow old prematurely, and the Chu family was almost ruined!

Her voice choked with emotion as she spoke the last few words.

"But I don't blame him, after all, his original intention was to protect me."

Moreover... the price he paid for this was not much less than that of the Chu family!

After explaining these matters, Chu Lianxin then steered the conversation back to Zhou Mei:

"Brother Feng, do you know what? Ever since Feng Bin left, Zhou Mei came over and we had a huge fight again."

She felt that I had taken what didn't belong to me, which was why I ended up like this.

She also always believed that it was because of my existence that Feng Bin was forced to leave.

"So many years have passed, and I always thought that everyone should have let go of it by now."

But these past two days I've thought about it carefully, the way Zhou Mei looked at me, and the things she said to you...

I knew it; she hadn't forgotten at all, she had simply hidden her true self.

The reason she chose to stay by my side was to find an opportunity to get revenge on me!

Chu Lianxin leaned closer to Ling Feng, but ultimately wrapped her arms tightly around his neck:

"Feng Bin was a thorn in her side back then. She felt very resentful for losing to me!"

I didn't lose in matters of the heart, but rather because I was good at playing the victim.

Besides that, there's another very important point: you're exceptionally talented.

She wants to prove she's better than me by conquering you, and she wants to embarrass and humiliate me.

After hearing all this, Ling Feng had a general idea of ​​what was going on.

Just as he had suspected, this wicked woman truly had ulterior motives!

The reason they act so enthusiastically towards themselves isn't because they actually like themselves that much!

Rather, it was her old grudges with Chu Lianxin that made her thoughts complicated and twisted.

He glanced at Chu Lianxin clinging to him and chuckled softly:

"So, you're worried she'll steal me away?"

Chu Lianxin nodded, and said with a very serious expression:

"I know Zhou Mei very well; she's incredibly stubborn."

They'll do almost anything to win.

I'm afraid—she might use things from the past to sow discord between us.
