Master Head of the Dragon Soul
Chapter 531 Beg and Grovel

The guests around the table shot haughty glances at Chu Feng, gloating over his misfortune.

It was only human nature that they kicked Chu Feng while he was down.

Only Zhou Yong reacted differently. He coughed twice and glared at his wife.

Chu Feng smiled calmly. He showed no expression on his face.

By this time, Zhou Li noticed Chu Feng, who had been sitting there quietly. She raised her eyebrows and thought for a while. "You are... Chu Feng? From Uncle Lie's family? I haven't seen you in more than ten years, and you've grown a lot taller."

Zhou Li regarded Chu Feng's unremarkable clothes condescendingly. She thought he was another one of those "leeches" that tried to mooch off her family.

Chu Feng nodded and smiled at her, which made Zhou Li even more unhappy. She wondered why Chu Feng seemed so nonchalant even though he was here to beg for money.

Moreover, everyone in attendance was an accomplished business owner. It was very arrogant for Chu Feng to think he deserved to be in the same room.

Xu Yiming, still giddy from the attention he received, raised his eyebrows and smiled, "Mr. Zhou, who's that?"

"Oh, let me introduce him to you, Yiming. He is Chu Feng, my nephew. My brother Lie adopted him," Zhou Yong laughed heartily and said without reservation. "When I was in Jiangling, that boy was good friends with my daughter Li. I was even thinking of getting Li to marry him when they grew up. Hahaha!"

The atmosphere became awkward as soon as he said that. Xu Yiming pressed his lips together. It sounded like he was only a second choice.

Yu Hui pinched Zhou Yong annoyedly. "Keep your mouth shut if you don't have anything better to say! Our daughter isn't engaged to that loser in any way! Don't overthink it, Yiming."

"Yes, Dad! What nonsense was that?" Zhou Li stomped her foot angrily. She shot Chu Feng a disgusted glare and turned her head away.

That useless b*stard child was not worthy of marrying her!

She was even wondering if Chu Feng had gone there to mess with her deliberately.

"Yiming, there's nothing between me and Chu Feng. It's been more than ten years since we last met. I barely know him!" Zhou Li said pitifully, eager to keep her distance from Chu Feng. Chu Feng smirked knowingly. She barely knows me?

As far as he remembered, he was extremely close to Zhou Ying and Zhou Li when they were children.

Whatever friendship they had was cruelly lost to the ravages of time. Indeed, he was practically strangers with Zhou Li now.

Chu Feng was silent. He thought he could reminisce about the old times with Zhou Yong and his family. It looked like there was no reason to do that now.

"It's okay. Why should I be bothered about what happened ten years ago?" Xu Yiming said gently, though when he glared at Chu Feng, there was a hint of viciousness in his eyes.

That country bumpkin had coveted his girlfriend and embarrassed him. He was not going to take it lying down.

"You might be adopted, but you're nevertheless Li's cousin. Allow me to introduce myself. I am Xu Yiming." He smiled superficially while extending his hand. "My father is the chairman of Feihong Corporation. Our family business is involved in hotels and property management, and it's worth only about 1.5 billion dollars. How about you?"

Zhou Yong's face turned pale. The other guests were amused as they enjoyed the drama.

Rather than a self-introduction, Xu Yiming was more like boasting and attempting to humiliate Chu Feng.

"Why are you still sitting there, Feng? You should be honored that Yiming wants to shake hands with you! Quickly stand up and offer him a drink!" Yu Hui frowned hard and pointed at Chu Feng's nose. "I bet Yiming would be one of the wealthiest people in Jiangling if he goes there. It'll be impossible to meet him without our help."

The grin on Xu Yiming's face widened. Zhou Li also lifted her chin as she waited for Chu Feng to bow to them.
