Chapter 499: Chapter 497: This Kind of Boldness is Rare
"They, the Fengya Family, although they were considering an alliance by marriage with the Rimu Family, it still required the consent of both family heads, and they had a significant advantage.
After all, because the previous Family Head of the Rimu Family had passed away so abruptly, their next Family Head had not yet succeeded, and the whole clan was practically a mess.
The Fengya Family could have taken this opportunity to seek an alliance by marriage, but Feng Ya Meizi unexpectedly took an unconventional approach, opting for an aggressive takeover.
She thought the heir of the Rimu Family was no different from the men she had under her control. That was her biggest mistake!
Fengya Ichiro gritted his teeth, "What am I to do? You should be asking yourself what you have done, why Song Group and XJ Group are blatantly targeting our Fengya Family? Other than drugging that person from the Rimu Family, what else have you done?"
"..."
Feng Ya Meizi clenched her teeth tightly, showing no sign of giving in.
What else could she do?
She was merely retaliating against that detestable man; she wanted to make him regret it, to submit to her!
But these words, Feng Ya Meizi didn’t dare say now.
She could clearly feel that her father’s anger was different this time, so Feng Ya Meizi could only swallow her grievances.
Fengya Ichiro, seeing he wouldn’t get an answer from her, shifted his gaze to the bodyguard beside her, "Speak! What exactly has the young miss done recently?!"
Fengya Ichiro’s voice was chilling, carrying a cold indifference that struck fear.
It seemed that this time he was truly angry.
The bodyguard looked at Fengya Ichiro tremblingly, opened his mouth, then hesitantly glanced at Feng Ya Meizi beside him. It wasn’t that he didn’t want to speak; he dared not.
After all, one was the Family Head of the Fengya Family, and the other was the future Family Head.
Regardless of whether he spoke or not, he would offend one of them, putting him in a dilemma.
"Speak when you’re told to, or if you play mute here again, I will have someone pull out your tongue so you’ll never be able to open your mouth again in your lifetime!" Fengya Ichiro spoke, and the pressure in the room instantly dropped.
He was serious.
In the Fengya Family, not to mention pulling out a tongue, even beheading him wouldn’t raise any objections from anyone.
The bodyguard shuddered visibly, gritted his teeth, and ended up spilling everything.
"The young miss, after suffering a loss at the hands of the Rimu Family heir, had someone inquire about his social connections in the country. Then the young miss..." 𝚗o𝚟pub.𝚌𝚘𝚖
His gaze darted towards Feng Ya Meizi, who was glaring at him with eyes full of fury; the bodyguard immediately retracted his gaze in fright.
He bravely continued, "The young miss hired mercenaries to target the friends of Pei Huai. It seems... they have already succeeded."
Fengya Ichiro listened to the bodyguard’s words, and his brow immediately furrowed into a knot, "Do you know the names of a few people who are on good terms with the Rimu Family heir?"
The bodyguard pondered for a moment, seemingly struggling to provide an answer.
Fengya Ichiro, impatiently massaging his temples, asked offhandedly, "Among them, is there anyone with the last name Xia or Song?"
He always felt that the encirclement by XJ Group and Song Group wasn’t baseless.
If they had no connection with the Rimu Family heir, then it must relate to the people Feng Ya Meizi had hired.
While Fengya Ichiro was still contemplating whether to send someone to investigate further, the bodyguard promptly provided an answer, "It seems the first target’s surname is Xia, named Xia Wenyan, and the second target is most likely surnamed Lu, named Lu Zhaozhao."
...
Well, that almost knocked Fengya Ichiro right out on the spot.
Xia Wenyan?
This name differed from the CEO of XJ Group by just one character, and Lu Zhaozhao was famous for her public identity tied to XJ Group, as well as her engagement with the CEO of Song Group.
Fengya Ichiro was now certain that the mess was truly Feng Ya Meizi’s doing.
He clenched his fists in fury, wishing he could slap his troublemaking daughter right then and there.
Who did she have to provoke? Why did she have to provoke someone so big?
No, to be precise, she had provoked three persons not to be trifled with at the same time.
Pei Huai’s ruthlessness was something he had only heard about recently. The young man had taken over the Rimu Family not long ago, but had swiftly established a firm foothold within the family. He even went so far as to significantly empower a child born out of wedlock.
Many people mocked this move, but Fengya Ichiro had to admit that because of Pei Huai’s radical changes, the Rimu Family had undergone a complete transformation.
Such audacity was rare.
A man with such audacity naturally wouldn’t want to be subordinate to his daughter.
Fengya Ichiro couldn’t believe he, smart for a lifetime, had produced such a foolish daughter.
If it weren’t for Feng Ya Meizi being his only bloodline, he would’ve replaced her long ago.
He was willing to nurture Feng Ya Meizi because she was ambitious and ruthless enough.
He believed that, with proper guidance, she could eventually take on the heavy responsibility of becoming the Fengya Family heir.
But who could have thought that she would cause such a disaster?
Now, it wasn’t just the Rimu Family eyeing the Fengya Family with hostility, but they also had XJ Group and Shengshi Group as enemies.
Whether economically or otherwise, they were very likely to be continuously crushed by the opposition.
Fengya Ichiro felt his head swell with worry.
Seeing that her father remained silent, Feng Ya Meizi grumbled discontentedly, "I am the real victim here, and yet you refuse to help me, Dad? You’re siding with an outsider! You even hit me for an outsider!"
Fengya Ichiro looked at Feng Ya Meizi with a cold gaze, "Hit you? Right now, I wish I could kill you! Do you have any idea how much loss your reckless behavior has caused the Fengya Family?"
He was the current Family Head of Fengya, and if the Fengya Family were to be ruined under his leadership, he might as well throw away his face!
Feng Ya Meizi couldn’t believe her ears, her eyes wide with shock as she looked at Fengya Ichiro, "Dad, are you joking with me? Are we, the Fengya Family, really inferior to the Rimu Family? Besides, the current heir of the Rimu Family is just an actor here in our country, and most of his friends are from the film industry. What’s there to be afraid of?"
She had dared to attack Pei Huai precisely because she knew of his past in China.
Fengya Ichiro raised his hand and slapped her other cheek, this slap almost throwing Feng Ya Meizi to the side with its full force.
"How can you have the face to say these things? Do you not know that Xia Wen is the little brother of XJ Group’s CEO? And that Lu Zhaozhao, she’s the CEO’s wife of Song Group!"
Feng Ya Meizi was somewhat dazed by Fengya Ichiro’s slap, but she had heard of the Song Group and XJ Group.
How could this be such a coincidence?
The people Pei Huai knew all came from families with profound backgrounds...
No wonder he acted so brazenly! Daring to scratch her face!
