Chapter 57 Nobody's Home

Xing Wen took her phone out of the counter and came to Ye Feng.

"Ye Feng, let me transfer the money that Brother Tiger just transferred to you."

"Need not."

Ye Feng smiled and said, "Don't you have other debts? Use this money to pay them off first."

"However, don't think I'm giving this to you for free. You'll have to pay me back when you have the money in the future."

Xing Wen could easily tell that he was just making excuses because he was worried she wouldn't accept the money.

She felt another surge of emotion, which strengthened her resolve.

"Alright then, I'll pay you back later."

Xing Wen nodded slightly, then said, "It's almost lunchtime now, and my home isn't far away."

"No one's home. Why don't you come back with me? I'll make you some noodles..."

"Great! I'd love to try my old classmate's cooking."

Ye Feng readily agreed.

Xing Wen blushed slightly, gave an instruction to the female shop assistant, and prepared to take Ye Feng home.

Just then, Ye Feng's phone rang. He took it out and saw that it was Qin Yao calling.

After listening to the other person say a few words, his expression changed slightly.

After hanging up, he apologized to Xing Wen, "Sorry, old classmate, I have something to take care of at home and need to go back first."

Xing Wen felt a little regretful, but she couldn't very well ask her to stay, so she could only smile and say, "Then let's make it up another day."

"OK."

Ye Feng nodded, added her on WeChat, and then said goodbye and left.

......

The living room of the Shen family.

When Ye Feng returned, he saw Shen Lang chatting and laughing with a young man.

The young man was dressed head to toe in Armani, his hair was slicked back, and he wore gold-rimmed glasses, looking every bit the social elite.

Upon seeing Ye Feng enter, the young man glanced at him, a look of disdain flashing in his eyes.

Ye Feng raised an eyebrow, sensing hostility from the other party.

"Aunt Qin, who is this guy?"

"How dare you talk like that?"

Before Qin Yao could reply, Shen Lang frowned and said, "This is Luo Yi's classmate, Zhang Pu."

"Look at him, and then look at you. All you do is mess around all day, and you're always getting into fights. You have no manners at all."

Ye Feng actually endured the scolding last time.

This greatly boosted Shen Lang's confidence, making him feel that the man wouldn't dare to do anything to him, so he deliberately adopted the authoritative demeanor of a father-in-law when speaking.

"How did Ye Feng end up messing around like this?"

Qin Yao frowned slightly: "Even if he has no skills whatsoever, as long as he can protect Luo Yi in crucial moments, he'll be my good son-in-law!"

"Unlike some people, who are neither fathers nor husbands."

Shen Lang favored his concubine over his wife, and Qin Yao had long been disappointed in him, so she usually didn't bother to argue with him about things.

However, when it comes to Ye Feng, she won't be so easy to talk to.

"you..."

Shen Lang looked embarrassed.

He was in the wrong, and even if his shortcomings were exposed in public, he couldn't find any words to refute them.

"This must be Luo Yi's fiancé, right?"

Zhang Pu stood up and smiled, "I heard you're a released prisoner?"

"Do you have a problem with that?"

Ye Feng rolled his eyes.

"Of course I have no objection."

Zhang Pu, displaying magnanimity, continued with a smile, "Going to jail is nothing to be ashamed of; everyone makes mistakes."

"The main thing is that you know you're wrong and can correct it, and you won't make the same mistake again."

"Luo Yi is a well-known prodigy in Zhonghai. As her fiancé, you should also show some responsibility as a man."

"I just heard from Uncle Shen that you're always hanging around outside."

"As Luo Yi's classmate, I have to say, if a man is incompetent and lets a woman support him, then he is really pathetic."

He appeared polite on the surface, but his words were laced with sarcasm, and his attitude was condescending, as if he were lecturing someone.

Ye Feng frowned and uttered a single word without any politeness: "Get lost!"

Upon hearing this, Zhang Pu's smile froze.

Shen Lang, standing nearby, scolded, "You scoundrel, how dare you speak to a guest like that?"

Qin Yao glanced at Zhang Pu; she couldn't stand hypocritical and pretentious people like him.

Because he guessed Ye Feng's purpose, he called Ye Feng back.

Seeing Ye Feng's assertive retort, she liked him even more.

What kind of man is he if he has no guts?

Am I wrong?

Ye Feng glanced sideways at Shen Lang: "He's a classmate I have absolutely no connection with, how dare he tell me what to do?"

"If it weren't for Luo Yi's sake, I would have thrown him out right then and there, you believe me?"

"You brute!"

Shen Lang slammed his fist on the table in anger: "Nephew Zhang, I'm only doing this for your own good, just saying a few fair words, and you actually want to hit me?"

"You've been in jail too long, look at what you've become! You're a complete scoundrel!"

A smile flashed in Zhang Pu's eyes, but he put on an apologetic expression.

"Uncle Shen, please don't be angry. It's all my fault."

"However, I didn't mean any harm; I just wanted to remind him to be more ambitious in the future."

"After all, as Luo Yi's fiancé, he can't even provide her with the life she wants..."

"Sigh, I've said too much again, I'm not going to say anything more..."

He suddenly sighed halfway through his speech, feigning regret.

Upon hearing this, Shen Lang became even more furious: "Nephew, you don't need to pay him any attention."

"He's just a brainless brute; he can't understand good or bad advice at all."

Just then, Shen Luoyi came in from outside after getting off work.

When Zhang Pu saw her, his eyes lit up, and he immediately got up to greet her.

"Luo Yi, it's been a long time."

A look of surprise flashed in Shen Luoyi's eyes. Apart from classmate reunions, he had hardly seen Zhang Pu since graduation.

Unexpectedly, he came to my house.

"Luo Yi, I heard from Zhao Qian that you want to discuss cooperation with the Su family. Maybe I can help with this."

Upon hearing this, Shen Luoyi instantly understood.

In the morning, she called some classmates and friends, hoping to find someone to help her connect with the Su family.

This includes Zhao Qian, a classmate of both hers and Zhang Pu.

"No need, I'll figure out a way myself."

Shen Luoyi knew Zhang Pu's character; he wouldn't help unconditionally.

He had been harassing her relentlessly since they were in school, and Shen Luoyi didn't want to owe him a favor.

"Why don't you use it?"

Shen Lang immediately chimed in, "We're just worried about how to connect with the Su family. Nephew Zhang has a way, why are you refusing?"

"Do you really want to just watch our family's shares be diluted and we end up being kicked out of the group?"

"this..."

Shen Luoyi frowned slightly; she naturally didn't want Shen Lang to say it that way.

"Luo Yi, don't be so polite with me, we're old classmates."

"I've reserved a table at Yunxi Pavilion. Let's go over there for a meal and chat."

Zhang Pu said solicitously.

"Luo Yi, Zhang Xian's offer is very kind; you can't refuse him. Hurry up and agree!"

Shen Lang urged from the side, his voice already carrying a hint of displeasure.

Helpless, Shen Luoyi could only nod and go back to her room to change her clothes.

Shen Lang looked at Ye Feng: "You don't need to go. Just go out and grab something to eat."

He also saw through Zhang Pu's intentions. In order to make contact with the Su family, he planned to have Shen Luoyi pretend to be friendly with the other party.

Naturally, he didn't want Ye Feng to come along; given Ye Feng's impulsive nature, he would definitely cause trouble.

"Why can't Ye Feng go?"

Qin Yao's face darkened: "If he doesn't go, neither will Luo Yi and I."

"Why do you insist on having him come along?"

Shen Lang said with dissatisfaction, "We're going to talk about serious business. What's the point of him coming along?"

Before Qin Yao could object, Zhang Pu said with a fawning smile, "Uncle Shen, let him go along. It won't matter if there's one more person."

A hint of mockery flashed in his eyes, and Ye Feng following along was exactly what he wanted.

This is a perfect opportunity to slap him in the face right in front of Shen Luoyi.

Let Shen Luoyi see clearly who the good man she can entrust her life to is...
