Chapter 621
“Xu Ke, why don’t you dare to see me? Is it because you’ve done something wrong and are afraid of me?” Feng Yiweng barged in, carrying her small handbag, and immediately started mocking Xu Ke as soon as she entered the room, her eyes practically rolling to the sky.
“You’re overthinking it. I just purely don’t want to see you because I find you very annoying. Seeing your face might make me so nauseated I can’t eat,” Xu Ke crossed his arms in front of him and retorted, looking at Feng Yiweng.
“If you find me disgusting, then don’t visit my home, especially when the owner has made it clear you’re not welcome. And yet, you forced your way in by car. This time, my people were quick enough to avoid getting hurt; had they been slower, they might be in a hospital right now. You’ve done something disrespectful and expect others to treat you kindly. Don’t you find yourself disgusting?” Xu Ke replied.
Feng Yiweng was momentarily at a loss for words, caught off guard by Xu Ke’s response. After a while, she spoke, her voice lacking confidence, “If you had agreed to let me in earlier, none of this would have happened, right? It’s all because you initially refused me.”
“However, I’m not here to discuss this issue with you today. I have something else to tell you,” said Feng Yiweng as she sat on the nearest sofa, “I know you’ve started targeting the Lu Family. I’m here today to make you stop, not only to stop targeting the Lu Family but also to apologize to them.”
Xu Ke raised an eyebrow, surprised, and said, “What are you saying? Could you say that again? I didn’t quite hear it.”
“I said I’m here for two reasons. First, to make you stop targeting the Lu Family. Second, for you to apologize for what you’ve done until they forgive you,” Feng Yiweng repeated her point emphatically.
“This is honestly the funniest joke I’ve heard. Who sent you to speak to me like this? Not even your father would dare to command me with such an ordering tone. I’m curious how your parents raised you to become like this; as far as I remember, your parents are very smart people,” Xu Ke said with a puzzled tone.
Feng Yiweng furrowed her brows slightly and said, “They are them, and I am me. I’m an individual; they can’t control what I’m like, and neither can you. Just because they dare not do something doesn’t mean I don’t dare. What I just mentioned isn’t a matter of negotiation; I’m merely informing you. You don’t have room for bargaining because these are things you should do.”
“I think what I should or shouldn’t do is not for you to teach me,” Xu Ke said, reining in his expression and staring at Feng Yiweng with a blank face, applying pressure through his gaze.
Feng Yiweng began to feel uneasy but wasn’t planning to give up on her demands.
“You don’t need to look at me like that; your ploy won’t work on me—it won’t crush me. What I said was not a joke. If you don’t do as I ask, don’t blame me for using drastic measures. I’m not acting now because I’m afraid of you, but because I don’t see it as necessary. However, if you remain so ungrateful, I won’t mind showing you my means, letting you understand the disparity between us,” Feng Yiweng stated.
“Say no more, I’m actually looking forward to it. It’s been too long since anyone dared to oppose me, and my life is quite dull. I need someone like you to spice things up. Hopefully, by then, you won’t bore me,” Xu Ke said with a smile, little realizing that his smiling appearance was more intimidating than when he didn’t smile.
“You don’t really think I won’t dare touch you, do you? Don’t overestimate your importance. You’re just a lowly businessman; I can deal with you effortlessly. Apologize on your own, and I might spare you; you’d only lose a little face. But if you remain oblivious and force me to take action, it won’t just be a matter of losing face. You might lose everything you currently have—do you understand?” Feng Yiweng was angered by Xu Ke’s insolence.
“Let me tell you, I’m serious this time; I’m not joking with you. You’ve caused so much trouble for my sister, I can’t get over it without giving her an explanation. If it weren’t for my sister’s situation between us, you might still escape by relying on my feelings for you. But this time, I absolutely won’t let you get away. This is your final chance, will you apologize?” Feng Yiweng asked harshly.
“Then let me tell you once more, no way!” Xu Ke mercilessly rejected the proposal.
“Fine, you forced my hand. Don’t blame me for being ruthless.” Feng Yiweng stood up and gave Xu Ke a fierce glare before angrily leaving.
The conversation ended in mutual dissatisfaction.
“Brother-in-law, will you be in any trouble?” Tang Zhongwei, who had been hiding in a corner for who knows how long, immediately came over when she saw Feng Yiweng leave, cautiously observing Xu Ke’s face as she sat beside him.
“Do you think I will have any trouble?” Xu Ke glanced sideways at Tang Zhongwei and said, “This is my issue, no need for you to worry. If there’s nothing else, spend more time with Yaoyao.”
Seeing Xu Ke about to get up and leave, Tang Zhongwei quickly grabbed Xu Ke’s arm, her actions faster than her thoughts.
Xu Ke looked at where he was grabbed and said with an annoyed expression, “Let go.”
Tang Zhongwei bit her lower lip, tears forming in her eyes, and asked in a soft yet confused voice, “It seems you really don’t like me. Can you tell me why? Did I do something wrong to upset you? You can tell me, and I’ll change. Yu Xia and I are both your sisters, I just have an extra ’cousin’ title, so why are you so cold only to me?”
“Want to know why?” Xu Ke asked.
Tang Zhongwei nodded, “Because Xiaxia never harbors thoughts like yours. Her heart is much purer than yours.” Xu Ke said, harshly flinging Tang Zhongwei’s hand away without caring if such a large action might pull her off the sofa; it was exceedingly cold and ruthless.
