"This is troublesome now." Zhou Jiwen was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan, watching Duan Li who had been beaten to a pulp, and his heart was growing more uneasy.

However, Xiao Feng acted as if nothing had happened, smiling as he walked over and said, "Let's go, time to eat."

"You still have the mind to eat?" Zhou Jiwen was a bit speechless, "We better change locations, in case they come back for revenge..."

Before he could finish, Xiao Feng said, "We'll deal with soldiers with generals, water with earth, besides, we were right in this matter, no need to make it look like we're at fault."

The three of them went to the private room on the top floor, and the staff responsible for hosting them were all extremely cautious, afraid of saying the wrong thing or making a mistake.

After all, Xiao Feng dared to hit Duan Li, let alone these people without any background or influence.

Of course, thinking like that was purely making Xiao Feng seem too violent, at least he was still reasonable.

Sitting in the top-floor private room, dish after dish was brought to the table.

During this time, Zhou Jiwen began to reassess Du Qingyue, the more he looked, the more satisfied he became, smiling at Xiao Feng, "You're a lucky guy, finding such a beautiful wife, you best treat her well in the future."

Xiao Feng nodded, "Of course."

Du Qingyue blushed, got up to get a beautifully crafted gift box from the door, and handed it to Zhou Jiwen, "Uncle, this is from Xiao Feng, he bought it for you, knowing you like to drink but worry about your health, so he got a few bottles of a tonic wine."

"You don't need to speak for him, I know this kid, if you didn't remind him, he'd have come empty-handed." Zhou Jiwen replied with a smile, without hesitation, he took the wine.

"I'm going to the bathroom." Xiao Feng announced and left the private room.

Once all the dishes were served, Zhou Jiwen sent the waiters out.

The waiters felt relieved instantly, thankful to escape such a dangerous table, where one misstep could lead to trouble.

Du Qingyue pondered for a moment, then suddenly asked, "Uncle, can you tell me about Xiao Feng's past?"

"He never mentioned it to you?" Zhou Jiwen seemed surprised, then like he had thought of something, said, "Well, it's best not to remember those experiences."

Du Qingyue's curiosity was piqued, she perked up her ears, afraid of missing a single word.

"Actually, Xiao Feng is quite a hardship kid too." Zhou Jiwen sighed and slowly said, "He lost his parents young, had to rely on himself for everything, while other kids just needed to study peacefully, he had to think about making a living..."

As Zhou Jiwen narrated, scenes emerged in Du Qingyue's mind.

A young boy, unable to enjoy what peers had, seemingly out of place in the world, struggling to survive with all his strength.

Du Qingyue found it hard to imagine if that boy once cried secretly in countless nights or vented the pressure he bore in other ways.

But, night always gives way to dawn, just like Xiao Feng now, reborn like a phoenix!

Thinking of this, a sense of admiration suddenly welled up from the depths of Du Qingyue's heart.

Xiao Feng endured such hardships, never truly crushed, instead of becoming cynical, he remained optimistic and positive, a mindset not everyone can have.

A man like this, is a true man indeed!

If I were to truly become his woman...

As the thought crossed her mind, Du Qingyue was startled, like waking from a dream.

Yet at that moment, a loud bang was heard.

"Bang!"

After the sound, the door of the private room was kicked open violently.

People in black rushed in like a tide, roughly estimating, no fewer than thirty.

Once the people in black had all entered, a middle-aged man with a big gold chain and a general's gut walked in.

This man was the famous real estate developer in Jiangcheng, Duan Li's father, Duan Guotai.

Zhou Jiwen's heart skipped a beat, knowing it was bad, he stood up to prepare to face Duan Guotai's challenge.

Du Qingyue stood up as well, not out of fear, but out of respect for Zhou Jiwen.

When an elder stands, the younger generation can't just sit still, no matter how you see it.

"Where's the one who hit my son?" Duan Guotai asked coldly, his henchman quickly pulled over a chair for Duan Guotai to sit.

Zhou Jiwen considered for a moment and decided to stabilize Duan Guotai first, "I think it's like this..."

Before he finished, Duan Guotai impatiently interrupted, "Don't give me all this useless talk, you're Zhou Jiwen, right? My son used your room, it's doing you a favor, this account we can settle slowly."

"Right now, I just want you to hand over the person who hit my son, otherwise, whether it's one or all, none of you should expect peace!"

Zhou Jiwen's face fell, in terms of age, he was much older than Duan Guotai, but now he was being scolded like a child.

"We booked the room first, your son occupied it afterward, it's plainly unreasonable to come over to hold us accountable, like father like son." Du Qingyue replied coldly.

Duan Guotai retorted harshly, "Don't think just because you are from the Du Family, I wouldn't dare touch you. Your gambling dad sold you to Shen Group to pay off debts, and Shen Group didn't even want you."

"Even if I have you stripped right here, do you think the Du Family would stand up for you?" Duan Guotai sneered, not hiding his threat.

Du Qingyue clenched her fists tightly, she never imagined that her engagement to Shen Tianze was due to her father's gambling debts.

As for the threat, Du Qingyue thought that even if the Du Family stood up, it would be for the sake of face, not because they really cared about her.

Thinking of this made Du Qingyue feel a sense of powerlessness.

At this moment, Xiao Feng's figure appeared at the door of the private room, seeing Duan Guotai and the men in black inside, he lightly chuckled, "Beat the young, now the old comes, eager to make things difficult for yourself?"

"You bastard!" a henchman next to Duan Guotai shouted angrily, then grabbed a chair and swung it at Xiao Feng.

Xiao Feng showed no sign of nervousness, casually pushing, and Duan Guotai's henchman staggered back several steps, landing on the floor embarrassingly.

But Xiao Feng looked like he didn't feel any danger, calmly walking to Du Qingyue's side, seeing her expression was not looking good, quickly understanding that Duan Guotai must have said something unpleasant.

"Don't let a few words upset you." Xiao Feng softly said.

Du Qingyue shook her head, without explaining more, but Xiao Feng's comfort eased much of her discomfort.

Duan Guotai finally couldn't hold back, slammed the table, stood up angrily, and said, "Kid, in this Jiangcheng, no one has ever dared to ignore me."
