Super Soldier in the City

Lin Fenglin sipped his tea and said, "Now that Yunzhu’s prospects are boundless, our Lin family wouldn’t dare to aspire that high. However, Ziqiao of your Song family is still unmarried and also the key figure you’ve been cultivating. He’s indeed a match for Yunzhu. How about I act as the middleman and make this good thing happen?"

Song Shucheng’s face changed at this, Ziqiao had been well groomed and had reached the position Ye Yunzhu now held, but had been displaced. To rise again would be more difficult. The position Ye Yunzhu had taken over was virtually Ziqiao’s, and by saying this, Lin Fenglin had not only repaid the Song family in kind but also tore open the family’s wounds.

Everyone saw that the Song family and the Lin family had come head to head so easily and were waiting for a good show. If the two families really started fighting, it would be quite a spectacle. Even if the Lin family could not withstand the Song family, killing one thousand enemies would mean self-injury of eight hundred, and it wouldn’t be easy for the Song family either.

As the host of the event, Ye Jingfeng now darkened his face and said, "I say, Old Song, Old Lin, you’re really not acting your age anymore, not caring about my opinion either. Yunzhu is my granddaughter. Discussing my granddaughter like this, don’t you think that’s excessive?"

When Ye Jingfeng said this, he was stern, obviously not there to mediate but to reprimand Song Shucheng and Lin Fenglin.

This surprised not only the two men involved, but also the other family heads present. The Ye family had always been low-profile, ranking last among the Eight Great Clans. Although they held the same title as the rest, the Ye family usually steered clear of conflicts with other families. In the past, Ye Jingfeng would have just laughed off such matters, but his reaction this time was quite unusual.

Seeing an opportunity, the patriarch of the Hu Family, Hu Liduo, immediately followed with a stern face, saying, "Old Ye is right. You’re really out of line. How can you joke about Old Ye’s granddaughter like that? That’s utterly disrespectful and improper."

Of course, Song Shucheng and Lin Fenglin understood that Hu Liduo, the old fox, was inciting a fool to be bitten by a mad dog, only to reap the fisherman’s benefit. They could not let his wishful thinking succeed. Lin Fenglin broke into a laugh first and said, "Old Ye is right. We are here today to celebrate your birthday, and it’s wrong of me to speak of your granddaughter in such a way. I apologize first."

Song Shucheng glared at Hu Liduo, then addressed Ye Jingfeng, "Old Ye, people tend to lose their sense of proportion as they get older. After so many years of friendship, you wouldn’t turn against me over this, would you?"

Ye Jingfeng also laughed it off and said, "Enough, enough. We’re all old. What’s the point of squabbling? Come, everyone, have some tea I prepared."
