As soon as the door opened, Ding Lisheng immediately came forward: "Gu Feng..."

"Uncle Ding," Gu Feng raised his hand to interrupt him, speaking first, "You two conspired to scheme against me?"

"I, that, I'm the advisor..." Ding Lisheng stammered, trying to shift the blame onto the advisor.

"Keep making things up, keep going." Gu Feng watched him with great interest. When Ding Lisheng was blushing and extremely embarrassed, he sighed and said with some pity, "Forget it, Uncle Ding, you're a man, what kind of nonsense could you come up with?"

"I'm truly sorry, Gu Feng. Uncle really didn't handle this matter properly." Ding Lisheng sighed. "The hearts of parents are all the same. Hanhan's mother passed away early, and I didn't have time to take care of her. She's never really experienced the warmth of a family since she was little. If I can't even protect her life, what kind of father am I..."

"Never mind, it's nothing. I promised the old man that I would escort Ding Hanhan to and from school starting today," Gu Feng said.

He originally thought Ding Lisheng wasn't a fussy person, but he never expected that Ding Lisheng would be so fussy that he was practically inhuman.

"Really? Thank you so much, Uncle!" Ding Lisheng was so excited that he tightly grasped Gu Feng's hand.

Gu Feng awkwardly withdrew his hand. Couldn't they just talk things out? Why did he have to resort to violence?

"Gu Feng, there's something else I'd like to ask you," Ding Lisheng said after his initial excitement.

"What is it?"

"You weren't just kidding me, were you? Can his health really be cured with rest?" Ding Lisheng asked seriously.

"What, Uncle Ding can't wait to pay respects at the mountain and divide the family property?" Gu Feng deliberately disgusted him.

"Gu Feng, stop talking nonsense, or I'll slap you!" Ding Lisheng immediately raised his hand.

"Just kidding, don't take it seriously." Seeing that he was about to get angry, Gu Feng quickly stopped joking. "The old man is fine, he's in good health. But the poison must have penetrated quite deeply, it will probably take some time for him to recover. By the way, don't feed him so many pigeons in the future. You may not care what those pigeons feel after they die, but you have to consider whether the old man's stomach can handle it."

"Oh, okay," Ding Lisheng nodded repeatedly. But then Ding Hanhan's voice came from downstairs: "Dad, I'm going to be late for school!"

"Coming!" Ding Lisheng replied, then bowed deeply to Gu Feng. "Gu Feng, I'm entrusting Han'er to you."

"Mm." Gu Feng clenched his fist and nodded forcefully. Uncle Ding, don't worry, I will do my best to push her down.

Ding Lisheng had no idea what was going on in Gu Feng's mind. Seeing that Gu Feng agreed, he breathed a sigh of relief, but also felt even more guilty: "Gu Feng, Uncle Ding's whole family owes you more and more favors. We're afraid we can never repay them in this lifetime."

"Uncle Ding, you're being too polite. We're like family." Gu Feng reverted to his carefree and nonchalant demeanor.

"Haha, I love to hear that! Alright, then I won't stand on ceremony with you." Ding Lisheng laughed heartily, secretly pleased with himself: You're the best son-in-law I've chosen.

After saying goodbye to Ding Lisheng, Gu Feng finally sat in the legendary Bentley, which was said to be worth tens of millions.

It truly feels extraordinary. The rear compartment is like a mobile luxury office, complete with a refrigerator, cup holders, a mahogany dining table, a DVD entertainment system, a car phone, a laptop, a folding worktable, premium reading lights… everything you could need. Sitting in the leather seats is exceptionally comfortable; you can barely feel the car moving.

Rich people are indeed extraordinary; it seems that the "B" on the front of the car is not something that can be faked.

It was Gu Feng's first time riding in such a vehicle, and everything was new and exciting. He touched and bumped into things, just like a country bumpkin visiting the Grand View Garden.

"Hmph, country bumpkin." Ding Hanhan snorted coldly.

"What about me?" Gu Feng asked, pointing to himself.

"Besides you and me, is there anyone else in this car?" Ding Hanhan asked back. Of course, there was another person: Abu, the driver and bodyguard separated by the rising partition. However, judging from Miss Ding's tone, she clearly didn't consider Abu a "person" in the strict sense.

"Oh, so you're talking about me." Gu Feng responded, then asked, looking rather naive, "You really think I'm a country bumpkin?"

"If you're not a country bumpkin, then who is? A seventh-tier nobody!" Ding Hanhan sneered.

(Seven lines: a homophone for "idiot line" in Cantonese, meaning idiot or mentally unstable.)

"Okay, I admit it, I'm just a country bumpkin." Gu Feng said in a self-reflective manner, as if he had lost his mind.

Ding Hanhan was just feeling relieved when he heard him ask in a serious tone, "But if it weren't for us country bumpkins, how would you city folks survive?"

"I'm a country bumpkin, I don't know anything, I can't do anything. I came to the city, and everything is new and exciting to me. But it's people like me who support you self-righteous city folks." Gu Feng said in a thick Northeastern accent.

"You, you're talking nonsense!" Ding Hanhan's eyes widened in anger again.

"I'm not making this up. You ate the vegetables I grew, didn't you?"

"What are you planting?!" Ding Hanhan got angry as soon as she saw Gu Feng, and she got even angrier when she heard his strange tone.

"Hey, I'm pretending to be a country bumpkin right now."

"Have you eaten the fruit I grew?"

"Did you eat the chickens, ducks, pigs, dogs, cows, and sheep I raised?"

"I picked some cotton, can you use it as a blanket?"

"You used the tree I planted to make your bed, didn't you?"

"To put it bluntly, even my excrement serves as fertilizer, adding nutrients to your food. If it weren't for a country bumpkin like me, I really don't know how you, a pampered city dweller, would survive."

Ding Hanhan was speechless for a few moments, then turned her face away and ignored him.

"Ding Hanhan, I've always looked down on you and despised you. And I still hold that belief!" Gu Feng persisted.

"You—" Ding Hanhan gritted her teeth in anger.

"What? You want to bite me? Come on." Gu Feng raised an eyebrow in a provocative manner.

Ding Hanhan was not provoked at all. She immediately pounced on Gu Feng, pinned him down with both hands, and opened her mouth to bite his shoulder.

"Hey, you're really going to bite me? Are you a dog?" Gu Feng naturally wouldn't let her succeed, pushing and dodging at the same time.

Who would have thought that Ding Hanhan, who looked so delicate, actually possessed a surprising amount of strength?

Gu Feng didn't want to argue with her, but she forced him to half-lie down in the chair.

Seeing him fall, Ding Hanhan immediately seized the opportunity and pounced on him.

In this back-and-forth interaction, physical contact is inevitable.

Ding Hanhan was clearly enraged and, disregarding everything else, opened her mouth and bit his shoulder hard.

"Hiss—" Gu Feng winced in pain and gasped for breath several times.

Ding Hanhan bit down hard, her grip tightening as if she wanted to devour him alive.

She bit down for almost a minute, until the anger in her heart had subsided, before she realized something was wrong!

When she finally understood what was going on, she jumped up as if she had been burned, her face turning so red it looked like it was about to bleed.

No matter how cold, fierce, or domineering she is, she is still a girl who has never experienced the ways of the world.

"If you ever lay a hand on me again, I promise you'll regret it for the rest of your life," Gu Feng warned solemnly, clutching his burning shoulder.

Ding Hanhan's embarrassment subsided, but her anger surged up again, and she abruptly turned around to glare at him.

But when she glanced at his hand, which he had just taken off his shoulder, she was startled to see it was covered in bright red blood. She instinctively reached for a towel to give it to him. But her hand stopped abruptly halfway there!

Why should I give it to him? He deserves to die!

But seeing his grimacing face, she really couldn't bear it. Biting him... seemed a bit too harsh. But who told him to bully her first?

"What are you looking at? I bit you, and you took advantage of me too. We're even!" Ding Hanhan said, then shut her mouth tightly and even closed her eyes. She was afraid that if she looked any longer, she would lose control and go get him a towel to stop the bleeding.

What could Gu Feng do? Could he really retaliate in kind? He could only accept his bad luck and consider it a bite from a mad dog. But he still silently prayed: Hopefully, this "dog" doesn't have any infectious diseases.

He frantically searched through drawers and cabinets, found a white towel, pressed it against his wound, and had no more interest in dealing with this crazy woman.
