Ye Feng did not even glance at Zhou Mengyu as he spoke indifferently, "Do you think Zhao Yebao is that great?"
"Of course he is!" Zhou Mengyu nodded. "Family Head Zhao is willing to break ties with the Shi Family for you. From this alone, it’s evident that Family Head Zhao is a person of deep affection and loyalty. You should feel fortunate to have such a father-in-law. If it were someone else, they would probably have driven you away already!"
However, Ye Feng shook his head. "I hope he is someone who is consistent inside and out..."
Housekeeper Hu, standing to the side, showed a disdainful look in his eyes and, furrowing his brows, spoke faintly, "Family Head Zhao is your father-in-law. What kind of person he is isn’t something for someone like you to judge!"
Ye Feng couldn’t be bothered to argue with Housekeeper Hu. People like him were too sullen, and Ye Feng never enjoyed dealing with such characters. It made no difference to Ye Feng whether Housekeeper Hu looked down on him or not—if Housekeeper Hu became too presumptuous, Ye Feng wouldn’t mind teaching him a lesson.
Time hurried by, and half an hour quickly passed. According to what Zhao Yebao said earlier, he had given Shi Tianlong a solution, but now that half an hour had elapsed, neither Zhao Yebao nor his party had come over.
Ye Feng and Zhou Mengyu were still waiting in the guest room, waiting for them to come up with a result.
Soon an hour had passed, yet Zhao Yebao and Shi Tianlong had still not appeared.
Zhou Mengyu started to become anxious. "Wasn’t it agreed that half an hour would be enough? Now it’s been an hour, why aren’t they coming?"
Ye Feng said indifferently, "Since they’re not coming, let’s go and check it out..."
Zhou Mengyu nodded. "Alright."
After saying that, Zhou Mengyu got ready to leave. However, just as she got to the door, she was stopped by Housekeeper Hu.
"What’s the meaning of this, Housekeeper Hu?" Zhou Mengyu asked, frowning.
Housekeeper Hu replied faintly, "I’m sorry, but the Family Head has ordered that you both wait here for him until he arrives. As for how his negotiations with the Shi Family Master are going, if there is a result, he will certainly come over immediately."
After hearing Housekeeper Hu’s words, Zhou Mengyu helplessly nodded. "Well then, we’ll wait."
Subsequently, Zhou Mengyu sat down in the guest room, waiting for Zhao Yebao to arrive.
However, Zhou Mengyu didn’t realize that Housekeeper Hu was just watching them. Ye Feng knew that the reason why Zhao Yebao had sent Housekeeper Hu was that he did not want them to leave, so he had Housekeeper Hu stand guard.
Shortly after, two hours had passed, but Zhao Yebao was still nowhere to be seen.
Zhou Mengyu began to get anxious, her eyes revealing a sense of urgency. "Why hasn’t Family Head Zhao come yet? Two hours have already passed. Could it be that the negotiations failed?"
Hearing Zhou Mengyu’s words, Ye Feng said indifferently, "Let’s just wait patiently."
But Zhou Mengyu stood up and walked towards the door. However, just as she reached the doorway, Housekeeper Hu had already come up to her, blocking her path. "Miss Zhou, where do you think you’re going?"
Zhou Mengyu said, "Housekeeper Hu, I need to use the restroom."
Housekeeper Hu replied, "Hmm, then make it quick and come straight back. The restroom is just ahead—do not go anywhere else!"
"Okay." Zhou Mengyu nodded and then went towards the restroom.
At this time, Ye Feng also stood up and walked towards the outside. However, Housekeeper Hu blocked Ye Feng’s way as well. "Son-in-law, you aren’t also going to use the restroom, are you?"
Ye Feng nodded indifferently, "That’s right."
"I’m sorry, but you cannot go. The Family Head has instructed that you wait here—you cannot go anywhere!" Housekeeper Hu said impatiently, looking disdainfully at Ye Feng.
"Not even to the restroom?" asked Ye Feng calmly.
"That’s right, not even the restroom!" replied Housekeeper Hu.
Ye Feng remained calm. At this point, he was one hundred percent certain that Zhao Yebao had some purpose in mind, fearing that Ye Feng might run away, which was why he told Housekeeper Hu to keep watch over him.
Ye Feng spoke lightly, "What if I insist on leaving?"
Housekeeper Hu’s look of disdain intensified, his mouth curving slightly upward, his face filled with contempt as he disregarded Ye Feng entirely, "Son-in-law, I advise you not to act rashly. Otherwise, you will suffer the consequences!"
Yet, Ye Feng did not care at all and walked towards Housekeeper Hu.
Getting to the doorway, just as Ye Feng was about to step out, Housekeeper Hu’s aura exploded.
"Boom!" In an instant, True Essence erupted, waves of air billowed, and Housekeeper Hu’s formidable Grandmaster aura pressed down on Ye Feng. With a cold face, Housekeeper Hu looked at Ye Feng, "Kid, try taking a single step and see what happens?"
Ye Feng was full of disdain, "What if I do step out right now? What can you do?"
Housekeeper Hu sneered, "Do you really think you are Family Head Zhao’s son-in-law? Let me tell you, someone like you, a worthless man with no background and no power—is utterly unworthy of being our Zhao Family’s son-in-law. I’ve been calling you son-in-law only to save face for the Family Head. If you dare take one more step, I will kill you!"
Housekeeper Hu’s blatant threat showed a complete lack of respect for Ye Feng.
Yet, Ye Feng just helplessly shook his head, "Someone of merely Innate Perfection dares to kill me?"
Ye Feng, although not fully recovered from his serious injuries, still had a strength comparable to a mid-stage Legendary fighter. Housekeeper Hu was merely a Grandmaster—Ye Feng could effortlessly kill dozens of his kind.
After his words fell, Ye Feng proceeded to walk outside.
"You ignorant fool!" Housekeeper Hu sneered. Then, as soon as the words were spoken, he reached out towards Ye Feng with a hand cloaked in powerful True Essence. Had it been any ordinary Inner Strength Martial Artist, a grab like that from Housekeeper Hu would have surely snapped their neck.
Nevertheless, Ye Feng still appeared relaxed and took a step forward, reaching the doorway.
At that moment, Housekeeper Hu’s hand was already behind Ye Feng, but Ye Feng easily dodged, leaving Housekeeper Hu’s grasp empty.
"Huh?" Housekeeper Hu’s eyes showed a trace of surprise; he hadn’t expected Ye Feng to dodge so effortlessly without even looking...
