Chapter 96 Unexpected Discovery

Ye Feng was unaware of what Kong Yiqian and the others were doing in the private room.

He had already arrived at the private room where the Jiang family was staying.

As soon as I stepped inside, I noticed that the atmosphere seemed a bit off.

Shen Lang and Qin Yao both looked grim, their brows furrowed with anger.

"Ye Feng, Shen Jun just said you had to leave. Where did you go?"

Qin Yao's tone was somewhat dissatisfied; he had just been ridiculed by everyone, so he was naturally unhappy.

Ye Feng glanced at Shen Jun not far away. When Shen Jun saw him looking over, he grinned and gave him a provocative look.

"I happened to run into a friend and chatted with him for a bit."

Ye Feng explained to Qin Yao.

Before Qin Yao could speak, Shen Xia said with disdain, "What kind of amazing friend is she? She's even late for a family gathering."

Shen Jun chimed in with a mocking expression, "Third Aunt is right. What kind of friends could this guy have? Probably just like him, they're all convicts."

Shen Jun's mother nodded in agreement: "That's right, even if they weren't convicts, they were still some lowlifes."

Ye Feng ignored them and sat down next to Shen Luoyi.

Shen Lang was already sulking, and seeing him act as if nothing had happened, he became even angrier and snapped, "You bastard, don't you have a mouth?"

"There are so many elders here, and they don't even know how to greet them? They have no manners at all!"

Ye Feng picked at his ear: "You didn't introduce us, how would I know who's who?"

"What should I call you?"

Shen Lang paused, realizing he had been so focused on getting angry that he had forgotten about this.

It was Ye Feng's first time attending the Shen family gathering, so it was impossible for him to know everyone.

Just as he suppressed his anger and was about to introduce Ye Feng,

Shen Jun scoffed from the side, "Uncle, even if he doesn't know anyone, he should still be polite."

"Look at how lazy he is, and he even talks back to you, tsk tsk tsk..."

Shen Jun's father, Shen Hua, also chimed in, "Brother, I really don't know what you're thinking."

"To actually let Roy get engaged to such a good-for-nothing, look at Third Sister, she has good taste."

"Having a son-in-law like Ren Dong is a hundred times better than this good-for-nothing."

Shen Jun chimed in, "Uncle, my dad is right. You should break off the engagement before you get married."

Shen Lang's face was gloomy. Today, because of Ye Feng, he had been ridiculed by his family countless times.

He was furious and wished he could kick this good-for-nothing out immediately.

"The second brother is right. This kid has no skills whatsoever, and his reputation is terrible."

Shen Jianye said about life: "Our Shen family's sons-in-law must be as outstanding as Ren Dong, so that they can bring honor to the family, not embarrass us."

When he spoke, the others all echoed his sentiments.

"Grandpa is right. Our Shen family is a prominent family in Zhonghai. How can we just choose any son-in-law?"

"Yes, only a young and outstanding man like Brother Ren is worthy of being our family's son-in-law."

"What merit does this good-for-nothing have? How can we allow him to marry the pearl of the Shen family?"

Everyone chimed in with their own words, praising Ren Dong and belittling Ye Feng.

Shen Lang and Qin Yao looked grim, and it wasn't a good idea for them to argue with everyone.

"It's all your fault for letting this bastard come. Look at him now! He's a disgrace!"

Qin Yao growled softly beside Shen Langchong.

Qin Yao was so angry that his chest heaved violently; he hadn't expected things to turn out this way tonight.

If I had known, I would have declined to come and wouldn't have let Ye Feng come either.

Just as everyone was still chattering away, Shen Luoyi, who had been silent all along, suddenly stood up and said to everyone in a low voice, "Have you all said enough?"

The scene fell silent as everyone turned to look at him.

"Ye Feng is my fiancé. Whether he's successful or not, what business is it of yours?"

His tone was displeased, and he exuded an aura of dominance.

"Um?"

Ye Feng's gaze sharpened, and his eyes fell on Shen Luoyi.

Just a moment ago, he actually sensed the aura of a cultivator from the other party.

He and Shen Luoyi had known each other since childhood, and he had never heard that he was a cultivator.

Through his interactions with Shen Lang and Qin Yao over this period of time, he was certain that even they were unaware of this matter.

"Interesting. They can actually disguise themselves and hide their cultivator aura in front of me."

Ye Feng thought to himself, it seems that not only he has had good fortune in the past five years, but Shen Luoyi may also have had some extraordinary encounters.

At this moment, everyone realized what was happening.

Shen Xukun's face darkened: "Shen Luoyi, do you have any manners? How dare you speak to your elders like that?"

Shen Luoyi turned to look at him and said coldly, "I was just stating the facts and didn't mean any disrespect to my elders."

She then added, "Unlike some people who dare to do anything, that's the biggest harm they can do to the family."

Shen Xukun sensed her implied meaning and was startled: "Shen Luoyi, don't talk nonsense!"

Although he pretended to be calm on the surface, he was actually panicking inside.

Shen Luoyi snorted coldly: "You know what you've done. I advise you to be more restrained."

Seeing her son's discomfiture, Shen Xukun's mother, Hong Juan, said unhappily, "Shen Luoyi, Xukun is about to become the group's president. You'd better show some respect, otherwise..."

"What else can we do?"

Seeing Hongjuan protecting Shen Xukun, Qin Yao wasn't about to back down either. She stood up and said coldly, "Shen Xukun isn't even the CEO yet, and you're already threatening him with this. What will happen if he actually becomes the CEO?"

Hongjuan sneered, "Qin Yao, even at a time like this, you still want to sow discord and undermine President Xu Kun's position?"

"I advise you to give up this plan and just wait and see how Xu Kun becomes president tomorrow!"

Qin Yao retorted sharply, "Fine, we'll wait and see!"

The rest of the Shen family didn't take these words seriously.

In their view, Qin Yao was just saying things out of anger; women always try to argue even when they're wrong.

Shen Xukun's appointment as the group's president has been widely accepted, and this is unlikely to change unless a major world event occurs.

Shen Bilian glanced at Ye Feng, feeling somewhat uneasy.

Of those present, only she felt that Ye Feng was not as simple as he appeared on the surface, and that he might actually have some hidden tricks up his sleeve.

But she was gang-raped by the Dongxing Gang that day, and she was too embarrassed to say it.

"Roy, don't be angry. Everyone is saying this for your own good."

Shen Jianye glanced at Ye Feng and continued, "This kid is indeed not good enough for you, and you can't blame others for feeling sorry for him."

"Grandpa, now that I'm engaged to her, that won't change."

Shen Luoyi said calmly, "I appreciate other people's kindness, but please don't say that again."

"you..."

Shen Jianye was speechless for a moment, then shook his head and said nothing more.

Just then, there was a knock on the door of the private room.

Immediately afterwards, several staff members in hotel uniforms walked in.

Seeing this, everyone looked over in confusion.

A beautiful woman in her late twenties, who was at the head of the group, politely said, "Excuse me, everyone."

"I am the hotel manager, and I have been asked by the boss to deliver the wine."
