Li Xue paused in her actions. She looked at the man who stood to say this first, before turning to look at Feng Shufen, who has now as well turned to look at the man. His expression is all poker. Although no one could read that expression of his, Li Xue was confident that she could. And just before she felt Shufen was about to bring out his words, she began instead.


    "Sorry for interjecting, Sir. But may I know how am I not allowed to attend this party?" She asked with an utmost polite smile of hers before turning to gaze at Shufenter. Her gaze held a meaning that asked permission to let her start first and help her if she creates trouble.


    Feng Shufen took his stance back and agreed to her n with a small nod, letting her take the lead. But his cold gaze didn''t leave Feng Da-Zhong for more than five seconds.


    Li Xue looked back at the man and repeated. Her smile got a bit deeper, feeling the support and confidence of Feng Shufen in her. "Sir, I know there could be some rules that I might be unaware of. If there is any of such, you can let me know, so that from next time I would know it." She said, purposely addressing the man with the title of ''sir'' since she was yet to know the identity of the person.


    Feng Da Zhong felt pressured with those words as not just the tone of the woman was something that felt polite, but also the words that she addressed were full of righteousness. For a moment, unconsciously, he was amazed by the aura the woman was holding. He never expected the air around her to be this strong. He was trying his best to intimidate her air with his, but however he was trying, except for failure, he wasn''t receiving anything.


    And on top of that, the gaze that he was receiving from Feng Shufen was not helping him. On the side of the woman, Feng Shufen stood like a blunt shield which might not be suitable for attacking but very much effecting in defense.


    Still mustering his best, he said, keeping his words brief, "This is the gathering just among the Fengs, you are simply not eligible to attend it." He said and the moment, he said, under his watchful gaze, Li Xue''s eyes trailed to look at Zhang Xiaotong, who was not sitting at a far distance. Her lips curled up on her own when she saw her smirk at her but then shaking her head at her, she didn''t intend to say any words.


    Instead, she scanned around to check everyone in the group beforeing back to look at the man to ask. But before she could, another voice interrupted, pausing her.


    "Third Uncle, are you sure? Is this just the family gathering for Fengs? If yes then what is Ms. Zhang doing here? As I said earlier, I don''t remember her one of us."


    Feng Yi Lan, who was sitting across couldn''t take this hypocrisy anymore. She thought her brother woulde forward to help Li Xue righteously in taking her position in the family but seeing him instead step back, she doesn''t know what was wrong with him. But if he couldn''t help her, that doesn''t mean she would also sit back and watch the show.


    Walking up to the side of Li Xue, she gave a re to her brother before hooking her arms with her girl to reveal to everyone on whose side she stands. Li Xue wanted to stop Yi Lan froming at the moment, but she was alreadyte. She was already there and given her personality she knew that now until she gets what she had aimed for beforeing here, no one could stop her.


    Feng Da Zhong felt agitated at the intervention. "And I have as well stated that Zhangs has always been our friends. And that makes them one of us. But what position does this woman hold toe here like this and then walk forward to take the seat at the patriarch table? Do you feel this is some kind of fun?" he almost yelled and his such raise in the tone only challenged Yi Lan more.


    She turned to gaze at her brother who still stood there all nonchnt. Her jaws got clenched as pursing her lips, she said under her breath so that her words get only audible to Li Xue and her brother. "Fine, you are still silent. Good. Remember, since I am the one who would save Xiao Xue today, she would solely belong to me from now on. Don''teter to im your possession on her." She said and then eyeing her brother onest time she turned to look back at her uncle to say.


    Li Xue wanted to m her head on the wall. Just for today, she didn''t want to witness this drama between the siblings. But maybe she asked for too much. That''s why even the heavens didn''t listen to her in this one thing.


    Feng Yi Lan reached out to hold Li Xue''s hands with more authority as looking at her uncle, she said, "Since the title of a friend is good enough to get into this gathering, then she is my friend. I can include her here. Couldn''t I, father?" She said as giving her reason, she turned to confirm it with Feng Yu Hao.


    Feng Yu Hao looked at his son. The silence in his demeanor was warning of a storm that could arrive at any moment. He didn''t know what was there toe but he was sure that there was something since in the meantime when his daughter and brother were busy, he clearly saw his son passing an order on his phone.


    "Father? Couldn''t I?" Feng Yi Lan''s patience died several deaths when she didn''t hear her father responding to her words. So, repeating her question, she asked again.


    But before Feng Yu hao could say anything, on his behalf Feng Da Zhong rified. "Yi Lan, this isn''t a party where you can invite your unimportant guests to enjoy. This is an official gathering that requires only family and close friends like Zhangs."


    He said and at this moment a cold voice came to reason out. "And how does Third Uncle think that my wife doesn''t fit the category of our family?"


    Feng Da Zhong immediately turned to look at Feng Shufen, unable toprehend his words. But thenughing out, he chucked the seriousness in those words out, pretending it to be nothing but a joke.


    "Haha, Shufen, what did you say? Your wife?? Man, do you think that you are still at the age where you can call your girlfriend as your wife? I have heard these days young boys often do that. But let me clear it out for you that a woman is only considered to be a wife when she gets registered under the name and family of her husband. Not before that."


    He said and then looking around at other rtives, heughed. He considered Shufen''s words as per his assumption and wanted others to believe it as the same. But none could dare it that way, since might be, Feng Da Zhong failed to see the seriousness on the expression of the young man, but other rtives could still see it.


    "Gao Fan!" Unfazed with theughter of his uncle, Feng Shufen called out and soon the secretary came strolling in with a golden book in his hands.


    "President Feng!" Gao Fan reported and nodding to him, Shufen ordered with a poker face before gesturing to him toward the crowd of rtives.


    "Help them have a look at the booklet." He said and dumbfounded about the content; all the rtives looked up at the secretary before eyeing the booklet whose shine was enough to confuse them.


    Li Xue was also stunned. Her gaze paused at the sight of the golden book in the hands of the secretary before turning to look at Feng Shufen. Maybe others didn''t know what that golden booklet was, but she certainly does. But what surprised her more was the smooth move of the man. Has this been the n from always? Howe she did not see iting? He was a silent yer, she knew. But she never expected him to KO everyone with one blow.. Too ruthless.
