Chapter 199 - The Feng Family Banquet Is Arriving

Somewhere else in the Feng family home.

Feng Wenshu was reprimanding Feng Junhao.

Ever since coming back from the parent-teacher conference, Feng Wenshu’s face was as hard as stone.

Feng Junhao knew that it was his fault. Over the last few days, he had been respectful in front of Feng Wenshu and did not dare to go against his wishes. However, Feng Wenshu did not reciprocate in kind. He did not say a word to his son, as if he was holding onto his anger in his heart.

Today, when Feng Wenshu found out that Feng Linbai had gone to school that day to look for Jiang Yu, his anger finally exploded and he went to look for Feng Junhao in a huff.

The moment Feng Wenshu saw Feng Junhao, the first thing he said to him was, “Why didn’t you tell me that Jiang Yu was ranked first in the grade?”

Feng Junhao lowered his eyes. “Dad, when I got home that day, the elders were all here. I didn’t want to embarrass you so I didn’t say anything.”

“Then you could have told me later! There was still a long time between the day of the parent-teacher conference and then. You had plenty of opportunities to tell me in private but you didn’t say anything. I only found out after I arrived at the school!”

“You don’t know what I’ve been telling other people. Aren’t you just stabbing me in the back? You’ve humiliated me!”

Feng Junhao remained silent.

He knew that he absolutely could not rebuke Feng Wenshu at this time or it would infuriate him even further.

As Feng Wenshu looked at his silent and mute son, the fury in his heart swelled.

Thinking that this was his precious only son though, Feng Wenshu suppressed his anger. He stopped himself from flying into a rage but he still could not help but reprimand Feng Junhao, “The next time this happens, you must tell me immediately! Otherwise, do you want to embarrass me again?”

“I understand, Father.”

Feng Junhao had replied but it wasn’t what Feng Wenshu expected to hear.

He frowned and said, “Usually, you’d say ‘there won’t be a next time’. What is it? Are you going to lose again?”

Feng Junhao pursed his lips and said in a low voice, “It’s possible.”

Feng Wenshu said in disbelief, “Is that Jiang Yu that powerful?”

Feng Junhao was silent for a long while before he said, “Father, she got a perfect score. There’s a 30-point difference between us…”

“I don’t believe it. How can someone get a perfect score? Did she cheat?”

Feng Junhao shook his head. “It’s impossible, Father. The school has already checked.”

He didn’t dare say that Jiang Yu had finished two papers and had gotten full marks on both sets. It would make him look even more incompetent.

“That’s weird.”

Feng Wenshu muttered to himself, “How can this brat be that good? She’s even better than you. If she didn’t cheat…”

He suddenly realized something and said, “Feng Linbai must have one something being the scenes. The two of them have been in cahoots for a long time. They’re deliberately trying to beat you and make me lose face!”

The more Feng Wenshu thought about it, the more it seemed to him. The memory of that day returned to him. He snorted coldly and said, “No wonder he said that you might not be the first. It turns out that he was insinuating and mocking me! This insidious villain, I knew that he must have ill intentions!”

Feng Junhao did not quite believe this version of events because it would have been extremely difficult to pull off.

The A and B papers for the monthly exams would be written by different teachers. They wouldn’t discuss their work and the papers would be sealed in a safe. Before the monthly exam, only the principal will have the keys to the safe. Only on the day of the monthly exam could the headteachers and the assistant headteachers of every form take all the papers out.

Therefore, if Feng Linbai wanted to get all the papers in advance, he had to bribe the teachers of every subject but this was basically impossible. There would always be teachers who were stubborn and would never accept bribes.

Unless he had bribed the principal of A High.

Which was even more impossible.

However, Feng Junhao knew that if he immediately refuted Feng Wenshu, he would be the one to suffer. He might as well wait for Feng Wenshu to finish venting before speaking.

Sure enough, Feng Wenshu cursed Feng Linbai a few more times. After he calmed down a little, he asked again, “I also heard that had Jiang Chenglang attended the parent-teacher conference. I initially saw Rong Qi in the class and thought that Jiang Chenglang wasn’t coming again. Who knew that he actually went to Jiang Yu’s class?”.

“What’s going on? Jiang Wan took a long leave of absence and Jiang Yu is now valued in the Jiang family? Were you aware of this?”

Feng Junhao replied honestly, “I’ve been hearing about it but I’m not sure…”

“How could you not be sure of such an important piece of information?! Didn’t I tell you to keep an eye on the Jiang Sisters?!”

Feng Wenshu’s anger rose up again, “I’ve already told you. The wealthy families value bloodlines the most. Even if Jiang Yu was only recently recognized, she is still Jiang Chenglang’s biological sister and could replace Jiang Wan’s position at any time. Jiang Chenglang and Jiang Wan are not related by blood.”

“Jiang Chenglang recently won another project, the development of the Jiang Corporation has taken another step forward. I’m in contact with Jiang Chenglang in the business world, so I’m leaving Jiang Yu and Jiang Wan to you. It’s best if you can make the Jiang Corp. work for us. That way, we’ll have more leeway when fighting for the right of inheritance. Do you understand?”

“Father, I understand,” Feng Junhao said hesitantly. “It’s just that Jiang Yu doesn’t seem to be easy to get close to…”

“I originally thought that Jiang Yu wasn’t up to scratch but now looking at things…”

Feng Wenshu was halfway through his sentence when he glanced at Feng Junhao. He no longer tried to discourage him and changed his words, “She’s just a girl. What’s so difficult about it? She’s just proud and arrogant because of her good grades. If you say a few gentle words to her, she would definitely become obedient to you.”

“Although Feng Linbai is pulling strings behind the scenes, you still have an advantage. You’re popular in school, any girl your age would be attracted to you. Her heart is fickle. Whether you can pull her away from Feng Linbai’s side, that’s all up to you.”

Feng Wenshu patted Feng Junhao on the shoulder and said solemnly, “I believe in you.”

Feng Junhao replied, “I understand.”

In any case, he was indeed a little interested in Jiang Yu now, so it wasn’t such a bad thing to get close to her.

“Also, the banquet prepared for Feng Linbai’s debut will be held in two days. At that time, other than the Jiang family, there will be a lot of other influential people attending…”

Feng Wenshu said meaningfully, “Perform well. I want this banquet to be your stage. As for Feng Linbai… Hah. Turn the original main character into your background!”

Feng Junhao also smiled.

“I understand, Father.”

…

Of course, Jiang Yu did not know that someone had set their sights on her again.

She was combing through the internet, sorting through various bits of information.

Jiang Yu had always been a person of action. She remembered that she wanted to start a company and also find some capable people to surround herself with. It was too tiring to have to do everything herself.

After browsing through a lot of information, Jiang Yu locked onto two targets.

She easily found the contact information of the two people in charge and sent a simple message to each of them.
