Chapter 201: Preparing to Pick Up the Bride
"Fine. If you had something this good, why didn’t you say so sooner?" Zhao Quan said, a little annoyed.
"Heh, Young Master, you never told me you liked planes," Zhao Liu said with a smile. He and Zhao Quan had known each other for a while now and were quite familiar.
"Honey, why don’t we buy one too? It’ll be more convenient for visiting home, so we don’t have to drive for so long," Su Miaoke said from the side.
’She really did want a plane like that.’
"Alright, we’ll do as you say," Chu Feng said with a nod.
"Brother Chu, you want to buy a plane? I have some extra ones. How about I transfer one to you? It’s brand new, bought less than a year ago, and it’s still being outfitted," Zhao Liu suddenly asked with a smile.
"Oh? The Sixth Master has that many planes?" Chu Feng was a little surprised. He hadn’t expected the man to own so many.
"It’s not that many, just six or seven. I don’t use them much, so I’ll just give one to you, Brother Chu," Zhao Liu said with a smile.
"Give it to me? I can’t accept that. I have to pay whatever the market price is." Chu Feng shook his head, refusing. He didn’t want to take advantage of them like that.
"Brother Chu, you did me such a huge favor yesterday, and I have no way to repay you. Gifting you a plane isn’t too much, is it?" Zhao Liu said.
"What happened yesterday was a small matter, but a plane is far too valuable," Chu Feng refused again.
"Big Bro, giving you a plane really isn’t that big of a deal. If those two old men had really died yesterday, my Zhao Family would be in deep trouble. Our entire foundation in Beihai would be gone. We’re talking about a loss of hundreds of billions."
"You basically saved the Zhao Family hundreds of billions, Big Bro. What’s a single plane in comparison? Just stop refusing," Zhao Quan said.
Hearing this, Chu Feng found it hard to refuse any longer.
"Alright, then." Chu Feng agreed helplessly.
He knew that even if he wanted to refuse, he couldn’t. Neither Zhao Quan nor Zhao Liu would allow it.
Su Miaoke also thanked Zhao Liu and Zhao Quan. "In that case, thank you, Young Master Zhao and Sixth Master Zhao."
"Sister-in-law, what’s with the formality? We’re all family," Zhao Quan said, waving his hand.
Suddenly, Chu Feng asked Jiang Tao.
"Brother Jiang, how did you meet your fiancée? You didn’t coerce her or anything, did you?" Chu Feng asked.
Hearing Chu Feng’s words, Jiang Tao was stunned for a moment, then said, "Brother Chu, you can’t just say things like that! If that gets out, my reputation will be ruined. I, Jiang Tao, have never done anything involving coercion. It’s always been consensual."
"A while ago, I was on a business trip in Jiangdong. I was eating at a hotel when I saw this young lady. I liked her the moment I saw her, so I struck up a conversation, and things just developed from there," Jiang Tao said.
"It developed that quickly?" Chu Feng found it a little hard to believe.
"Of course. You’re underestimating my charm, not to mention how generous I am with my money. I met her parents right away, and they agreed without a second thought. I bought them a huge villa on the spot. I also promised a betrothal gift of three hundred million, and after we get married, each of them will get another billion," Jiang Tao said.
Chu Feng was stunned by his words.
’That’s right, Jiang Tao is a jewelry tycoon from Beihai City, a man with incredible wealth.’
’In a society where money is everything, being rich makes you king. Money can solve a lot of problems.’
’In other words, if Jiang Tao put an offer like that on the table, countless women would probably line up at his door to be with him.’
’This was just reality.’
"As long as it’s consensual, that’s all that matters. But you must never do anything depraved or unconscionable," Chu Feng warned.
Because if he committed evil acts, Jiang Tao would generate Sin Value.
And Chu Feng would punish anyone with Sin Value.
"Actually, the reason her family agreed was because her younger brother was seriously ill and urgently needed money for surgery. Not only did I get her brother settled and taken care of, I also paid for all his medical expenses. She herself said she was marrying me of her own free will," Jiang Tao said.
"Since you both get what you need from it, then we should respect your choices," Chu Feng said.
"Exactly. You can’t put a price on happiness," Jiang Tao said with a laugh.
’Truthfully, for someone at Jiang Tao’s level, only a fool would resort to threats and coercion.’
’All they had to do was throw money at the problem. If one person couldn’t be bought, they’d just move on to the next. With so many options, why do something illegal?’
"Then why didn’t you find someone in Beihai? Why go all the way to Jiangdong? It’s so far," Chu Feng asked, a bit curious.
"Brother, you don’t understand. Too many people in Beihai know my business. It’s a little embarrassing, you know? So I figured I’d go somewhere farther away," Jiang Tao said in a low voice.
「Soon, the plane landed at Jiangdong Airport.」
Jiang Tao had already arranged their accommodations—all presidential suites.
"Brother Chu, Sixth Master, Young Master Zhao, everyone, I’ll have to trouble you to rest here for the night. We’ll set out to pick up the bride first thing tomorrow morning," Jiang Tao said to the group.
"Remember to wake me up tomorrow morning," Zhao Quan said with a yawn. He hadn’t slept well in days.
Chu Feng and Su Miaoke returned to their room together.
"Honey, I think this is our first time spending the night away from home, isn’t it?" Su Miaoke said, gazing lovingly at Chu Feng.
Chu Feng swallowed hard.
"Yeah, I think you’re right. Let’s go take a shower first," Chu Feng said.
The night passed without a word. Chu Feng and Su Miaoke spent it "cultivating" vigorously until dawn.
Just as the sun was rising, Chu Feng pulled open the curtains. The huge floor-to-ceiling window offered a perfect view of the rising sun in the distance.
"Time to get up and cultivate," Chu Feng said, scooping Su Miaoke up in his arms.
Su Miaoke wrapped her arms around Chu Feng’s neck, her body exuding an alluring fragrance.
"Honey, just let me sleep a little longer," Su Miaoke pleaded in a soft tone that could make anyone’s bones melt.
Helpless, Chu Feng placed her on the bed. Just as he was about to let go, Su Miaoke yanked him down onto the bed with her.
"Don’t go. Sleep with me," Su Miaoke said, hugging Chu Feng tightly, her jade-like legs wrapping around his waist.
An hour later, Jiang Tao knocked on the door.
"Brother Chu, we’re getting ready to leave!" Jiang Tao called from outside the door.
Chu Feng opened the door. "Are we leaving now?"
"Yes, the motorcade is already waiting downstairs," Jiang Tao said.
"Alright, I’ll just get dressed and be right down," Chu Feng said.
When Chu Feng and Su Miaoke got downstairs, they were shocked to see eighteen Rolls-Royce Phantoms parked outside. Behind them were other luxury cars worth several million each. The entire motorcade, at a conservative estimate, consisted of dozens of vehicles.
"Whoa, Brother Jiang, you really went all out. Did you buy all these cars yourself?" Chu Feng asked.
