"Yes, exactly. So, Jiang Feng is a big liar. He probably thinks he can't get into college, so he's planning to scam some money. You all must be careful and not fall for his tricks," Wang Sicong said again.
Everyone has a temper, especially when being provoked repeatedly.
No matter how patient Jiang Feng was, he couldn't tolerate these two coming over to cause trouble time and time again. They were like annoying flies that wouldn't leave him alone.
If Jiang Feng didn't take action, he would be seen as a coward, not a man.
"Say that again if you dare," Jiang Feng stared at them, his eyes sharp as knives. If looks could kill, Wang Sicong and Chen Xin'ai would already be dead.
"So what if I say it again? Feeling exposed and embarrassed? I spit on you, you're always going to be a lowlife," Wang Sicong sneered.
"Exactly, what are you going to do, hit us? With your cowardly look, I bet you're too scared," Chen Xin'ai chimed in.
Slap!
A loud slap echoed.
Jiang Feng didn't hesitate to slap Wang Sicong.
Since they wanted a fight, he gave them one.
Jiang Feng always considered others' feelings.
But he didn't hit women, so Chen Xin'ai got off easy.
However, he wouldn't let a woman like Chen Xin'ai off the hook.
"You dare hit me? Are you looking for death?" Wang Sicong shouted, clutching his face.
Slap!
Another slap from Jiang Feng.
"My face, you...," Wang Sicong raged, "Damn you!"
Slap!
Yet another slap!
"I'll fight you!" Wang Sicong yelled, lunging at Jiang Feng.
Slap, slap, slap!
Jiang Feng didn't let him get close, delivering several more slaps, making Wang Sicong spin around, disoriented.
With a thud, Wang Sicong fell to his knees, unable to withstand Jiang Feng's slaps any longer.
"Ouch, stop hitting me, I was wrong..." Wang Sicong begged.
"Damn it, you only understand pain when you're hit. Now you beg for mercy? What were you doing earlier, talking nonsense with this vile woman Chen Xin'ai? You deserve it. Sometimes, a woman can ruin a man. If a man can't find the right partner, it's like being in hell with no way out," Jiang Feng scolded harshly.
"Yes, yes, you're right. Finding the wrong woman can ruin a life. If it weren't for Chen Xin'ai, I wouldn't be getting hit today," Wang Sicong agreed.
"Good, you understand. Now, do you still want to get hit?" Jiang Feng asked with a faint smile.
"No, no, definitely not. I don't have a masochistic tendency," Wang Sicong shook his head repeatedly.
"Alright then, I'll give you a chance. If you do it, I won't hit you anymore," Jiang Feng said.
"Okay, tell me, I'll do it," Wang Sicong said urgently.
"Go slap that vile woman Chen Xin'ai a few times, and I'll let you go," Jiang Feng said.
Jiang Feng didn't hit women, but he could let others do it. Watching someone else hit was also satisfying.
"Slap Chen Xin'ai?" Wang Sicong was stunned.
"Yes, go ahead. If you don't slap her, I'll slap you," Jiang Feng said fiercely.
"Sicong, don't listen to him. We're on the same side. He's an outsider trying to drive a wedge between us," Chen Xin'ai shouted.
"Shut up! If it weren't for you, would I be in this mess? I'm telling you, don't ever come to me again. I don't know you," Wang Sicong said ruthlessly.
"Sicong, you can't do this to me. I just gave myself to you last night, gave you everything. Have you forgotten?" Chen Xin'ai said.
"Spit, that was your choice. I didn't force you. Your seductive ways tired me out, and I haven't even said anything," Wang Sicong said disdainfully.
"You... how can you be like this?" Chen Xin'ai was completely stunned.
Was this what it meant to pull up your pants and deny everything?
She had encountered a scumbag.
"Quick, don't waste my time," Jiang Feng urged.
"Okay, right away," Wang Sicong rolled up his sleeves, ready to slap Chen Xin'ai.
Chen Xin'ai looked at Jiang Feng desperately, "Jiang Feng, no, cousin, please spare me this time. I won't make fun of you anymore, really, I won't."
She had seen how Jiang Feng slapped Wang Sicong earlier, with such force and ruthlessness. Just watching was painful.
Now that Wang Sicong had turned against her, he wouldn't hold back either, transferring all his anger onto her.
"I think you're mistaken. I'm not your cousin. We have no relationship," Jiang Feng said coldly.
With that, Jiang Feng returned all the humiliation Chen Xin'ai had given him.
Now she wanted to acknowledge him as her cousin? Too late.
Jiang Feng had already decided to cut ties with the Chen family.
At this moment, Jiang Feng wouldn't listen to Chen Xin'ai's pleas.
"I..." Chen Xin'ai felt like she had been hit by a hammer, her chest tight and unable to breathe.
"What do you mean 'I'? Watch me slap you to death," Wang Sicong pushed Chen Xin'ai and started slapping her wildly.
Slap, slap, slap~~
Chen Xin'ai, like a helpless lamb, was mercilessly slapped by Wang Sicong.
For a man like Wang Sicong, hitting a woman was no big deal.
He didn't hold back, hitting with full force, his gritted teeth showing his effort.
"Ah, stop, it hurts, I can't take it."
"Please, stop hitting me."
"I'm sorry, I was wrong."
Chen Xin'ai cried, her face quickly swelling, finger marks visible, even drawing blood, with a trickle of blood at the corner of her mouth.
Her pitiful state was heart-wrenching.
But Jiang Feng watched coldly, unmoved.
Chen Xin'ai brought this upon herself; she deserved this punishment.
Under Wang Sicong's slaps, Chen Xin'ai soon stopped moving, lying on the ground like a dead dog.
Wang Sicong stopped, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and looked at Jiang Feng respectfully, "Is this okay? Are you satisfied?"
"Good, you're qualified. Now, get lost," Jiang Feng said coldly, "Remember, don't let me see you again."
"Yes, yes, I won't appear before you again," Wang Sicong said with relief, running off.
Jiang Feng looked coldly at the punished Chen Xin'ai, without a trace of sympathy, feeling the punishment wasn't enough.
Dealing with such a malicious woman, even the harshest punishment wasn't too much.
Chu Tianxiong was dumbfounded. What was going on? How did two people suddenly appear to badmouth Jiang Feng, then start fighting? He couldn't understand.
"Qingqing, what's going on?" Chu Tianxiong asked.
"Grandpa, don't overthink it. I don't think Jiang Feng is like they said. Jiang Feng hitting them was justified. They shouldn't have insulted him. Also, the guzheng master I mentioned last time is Jiang Feng," Chu Qingqing said.
"Really?" Chu Tianxiong was surprised, "You mean the guzheng master who composed 'Fairy Travels' is this young man?"
"Yes, it's Jiang Feng," Chu Qingqing nodded.
"Oh my, that's amazing," Chu Tianxiong extended his hand to Jiang Feng, "I've heard a lot about you. Qingqing told me about your achievements. In guzheng playing, no one in the country can compare to you. Even Qiu Yue'er is willing to be your disciple. I didn't expect you to be so young. Truly, heroes emerge from the young."
"Not at all, I just know a little, not as great as you say," Jiang Feng said modestly.
"Actually, I'm planning to acquire a guqin today. Would you join me and give me your opinion?" Chu Tianxiong invited.
Jiang Feng hesitated, "I'm afraid I don't know much about guqin. I can only play a piece or two."
"Don't be modest, young man. We met by chance, come with me, it won't hurt," Chu Tianxiong said.
Chu Tianxiong was straightforward and loved making friends with talented people. Hearing from his granddaughter about Jiang Feng's abilities, he wanted to get to know him.
"This..." Jiang Feng was hesitant.
He wasn't familiar with Chu Qingqing, and it was his first time meeting Chu Tianxiong. Following them seemed a bit rash.
"Jiang Feng, don't refuse. My grandpa appreciates your talent. Ms. Xia is also here, let's go together," Chu Qingqing urged.
With both grandfather and granddaughter insisting, Jiang Feng felt it would be rude to refuse. He decided to go along, as it wouldn't take much time.
"Alright, I have no problem," Jiang Feng said, looking at Xia Qinghe, "Ms. Xia, would you like to join us?"
"I don't mind. If you're going, I'll go too," Xia Qinghe smiled.
"Great, let's go," Chu Tianxiong laughed heartily.
"Wait," Jiang Feng said.
He walked up to Chen Xin'ai and said coldly, "Chen Xin'ai, don't be so harsh in life. Things aren't as simple as you think. Don't let me see you again. Get lost."
Chen Xin'ai didn't dare say a word, scrambling out of Xiangzhai Garden.
At that moment, she realized Jiang Feng was no longer the same.
Jiang Feng had become a strong presence, no longer the weakling who could be bullied.
From now on, she wouldn't dare trouble Jiang Feng.
Absolutely not, Jiang Feng was a demon to be avoided.
Pitiful people have their reasons. No one sympathized with Chen Xin'ai. Under the guidance of the staff, everyone moved to the third floor.
In an elegant and quiet room on the third floor, two men and a woman were sitting with their eyes closed. When the group arrived, they opened their eyes and looked at the newcomers.
