Feng Kai Ze spotted Yang Fei’s car following his car so he stopped his car on the side of a quiet road.
‘Kai Ze, I’m sorry,’ Yang Fei said.
‘Yang Fei, from now on, we’re no longer friends,’ Feng Kai Ze said. ‘You should call me young master Feng.’
‘Kai Ze, I was cornered,’ Yang Fei said. ‘Boss made me give your address to Miss Hong. Forgive me this time.’
‘Then it’s better if you don’t know anything about my life that way you can’t betray me,’ Feng Kai Ze said. ‘In the future don’t call me, and I won’t call you.’
‘Kai Ze, do you need to be this way?’ Yang Fei asked. ‘We’ve been friends for years.’
‘Did you see me as your friend when you betrayed me?’ Feng Kai Ze asked.
‘I know it’s wrong of me to disclose your whereabouts,’ Yang Fei said. ‘But I didn’t tell boss everything like you pursuing a woman named Da Tian Ting.’
Feng Kai Ze held Yang Fei’s shirt collar.
‘You’ve been spying on me?’ Feng Kai Ze asked.
‘I was curious about your sudden interest in a woman so I looked into Da Tian Ting’s background a little,’ Yang Fei said. ‘Boss asked me to find out why you wanted Da Tian Ting blacklisted from working in the city, and he told me to make Da Tian Ting disappear. I found out you cared about Da Tian Ting after you asked me to look for her. If I chose to listen to boss, Da Tian Ting wouldn’t be alive today.’
‘Yang Fei, if you touch even a strand of her hair, it’ll be you who won’t be alive,’ Feng Kai Ze said.
‘Kai Ze, if I wanted to harm her, I would have ousted her to boss,’ Yang Fei said. ‘You know how boss operates.’
Feng Kai Ze let go of Yang Fei’s shirt collar. He believed Yang Fei didn’t tell his father about Da Tian Ting being his girlfriend. But he didn’t forgive Yang Fei for betraying him.
‘Kai Ze, where there is smoke there is fire,’ Yang Fei said. ‘You can’t hide her from boss forever.’
‘Stay out of my business,’ Feng Kai Ze said.
Feng Kai Ze walked to his car, and Yang Fei chased after him.
‘Kai Ze, I know you’re looking for Da Tian Ting,’ Yang Fei said. ‘Do you need my help to look for her?’
‘No,’ Feng Kai Ze said. ‘I can find her myself. From now on, stay out of my business. I don’t need you.’
Feng Kai Ze got into his car, and drove off.
Yang Fei didn’t follow Feng Kai Ze’s car again. He knew he lost Feng Kai Ze’s trust. But he didn’t know why Feng Jia Yong wanted Feng Kai Ze to marry Hong Shi Na.
Yang Fei returned to the Feng Mansion. Feng Jia Yong looked like he was burning the newspaper he was reading, and Dai Fang Dung walked into the living room.
‘Yang Fei, did you chase after Kai Ze before?’ Dai Fang Dung asked. ‘Is he OK?’
‘Yes mistress,’ Yang Fei said. ‘Young master Feng, is angry. He needs time to cool down.’
‘Why must Kai Ze struggle outside instead of taking advantage of his status?’ Dai Fang Dung asked.
‘Struggle?’ Feng Jia Yong asked. ‘He has Feng’s company backing him. Every time he needs help, he finds someone from Feng’s company to help him. Tell me, how is his life a struggle?’
‘Jia Yong, ask yourself since Kai Ze understood his situation, how many times has he relied on his status in the outside world?’ Dai Fang Dun asked. ‘If you ask Yang Fei how many times Kai Ze sought him out for help, Yang Fei would give you a number less than the number of fingers a person owns.’
‘Yang Fei, how many times?’ Feng Jia Yong asked.
‘Boss…’ Yang Fei said.
Yang Fei didn’t want to anger Feng Jia Yong, but he couldn’t lie because Dai Fang Dung knew the truth.
‘How many?’ Feng Jia Yong asked.
‘Since young master Feng was a little to now, five times,’ Yang Fei said.
‘It appears my son wants to oppose me,’ Feng Jia Yong said.
‘Jia Yong, I don’t understand why you’re forcing Kai Ze to marry Shi Na,’ Dai Fang Dung said. ‘But you should listen to me. Your relationship with Kai Ze is already strained. Forcing him to marry Shi Na will be the final straw, and you’ll lose a son.’
‘Kai Ze marrying Shi Na will make Feng’s company more powerful,’ Feng Jia Yong said.
‘Jia Yong, aren’t you satisfied that Feng’s company is the most powerful company in the city?’ Dai Fang Dung asked. ‘Why must you sacrifice your son pointlessly?’
‘What would you know?’ Feng Jia Yong asked.
‘I don’t need to understand the business world to understand life,’ Dai Fang Dung said. ‘It’s meaningless to be rich and powerful, if you chase away your family. You’ll end up old and alone.’
‘Dai Fang Dung!’ Feng Jia Yong warned.
‘I’ve lived half my life but I don’t have one true friend,’ Dai Fang Dung said. ‘Walking around with the title of Mrs Feng means nothing to me. I’m tired of living a lonely life being Mrs Feng for more than twenty years. The truth is I’m envious of ordinary families who can eat dinner together, laugh and cry together.’
‘If you’re lonely, go and find a social hobby,’ Feng Jia Yong said. ‘I don’t want to listen to your dribble.’
‘Then listen to my advice,’ Dai Fang Dung said. ‘Kai Ze, will cut ties with you if you’re adamant about him marring Shi Na.’
‘There’s no alternative choice,’ Feng Jia Yong said. ‘Kai Ze must marry Shi Na.’
‘Jia Yong, tell me if you’re being coerced,’ Dai Fang Dung said. ‘I remembered you considered betrothing Jia Yong and Shi Na when they were younger. But you didn’t mention it again until now.’
‘Boss, if you tell us why, we can help you,’ Yang Fei said.
‘Have you heard of Hao Feng Lian Ming?’ Feng Jia Yong asked.
‘The underground gang?’ Yang Fei asked. ‘Boss, they’re not a threat. Feng’s company can eliminate them.’
‘Hao Feng Lian Ming isn’t an ordinary underground gang,’ Feng Jia Yong said. ‘They have a member named Ju Feng who is a genius. Ju Feng owns thirty percent of Feng’s company’s shares using unscrupulous methods. If he continues owning more Feng’s company shares, he’ll be the biggest shareholder and I’ll lose control of Feng’s company.’
‘What do we do now?’ Dai Fang Dung asked. ‘Is that why you want Kai Ze to marry Shi Na? Jia Yong, I believe you can think of a different way to deal with Ju Feng without sacrificing Kai Ze.’
‘I decide who my son marries,’ Feng Jia Yong said. ‘I’m not giving control of Feng’s company to an outsider.’
