Chapter 124 Taking Pride
"Huh!"
Qi Yuxi let out a disdainful sound, her smile widening: "How old are you, still shy? Haha!"
"Let me tell you, this thing is quite valuable. The fact that he's willing to give it to you shows how much he cares about you."
Zhou Wei looked at Hope Star but didn't reply.
He then pressed further, "You said before that this thing was very valuable, so why did you give it to him?"
"Is that even a question?"
"Of course it's an exchange of benefits. Otherwise, why would I be stupid enough to give it to him for free?"
Qi Yuxi's smile grew even wider.
Seeing her acting so mysteriously, Zhou Wei was getting increasingly anxious: "A trade of interests? What do you mean? What kind of interests could possibly sway you?"
This matter was originally classified.
But since her best friend had asked, Qi Yuxi didn't hide anything and gave a brief account of the medicine.
Finally, Qi Yuxi sighed deeply, "Weiwei, I was wondering before, I thought this kid must be out of his mind, how could he exchange such a precious formula for Hope Star, thinking he got a bargain."
"But I only realized now that the kid was too clever; he's really good at making a beauty smile."
Jealousy and mockery were palpable in his words.
Normally, Zhou Wei wouldn't have taken it seriously, but now she had no intention of responding.
His mind was filled with Ye Feng's solemn promise from before.
In a daze, I even felt a little sore in my nose.
hateful!
If Ye Feng knew that he was moved by this little thing, he would probably thank Qi Yuxi very sincerely.
Seeing the subtle changes in her sisters' expressions, Qi Yuxi felt a pang of regret.
She was always one to enjoy watching the drama unfold, but seeing her friend seemingly about to succumb, she couldn't help but quickly remind her, "Stop, stop! Weiwei, I have to warn you!"
"This kid is great in every way, even has the air of a perfect man, but he has one flaw: he's a womanizer!"
"He's too much of a womanizer. If you really like him, you'd better be prepared!"
Zhou Wei was amused and nodded solemnly, "I know, thank you."
After hanging up the video call, she felt somewhat shaken.
If I ask Ye Feng for help now, can my fate be changed and I no longer have to face all this cruelty?
But this doubt only lasted for a moment before vanishing without a trace.
"No... Zhou Wei, you can't be so naive, and you absolutely can't drag him down with you."
"This is harming him."
......
After leaving the Zhou family, Ye Feng didn't rest either.
He was unaware of the changes in Zhou Wei's feelings for him, but at this moment, he had something on his mind.
It's the old woman from before.
Too many questions swirled in his mind. Since he couldn't get answers from Zhou Wei, he had no choice but to try someone else.
"That girl ran pretty fast, but luckily I marked her before she left."
Ye Feng sensed the location of the mark and his speed increased significantly.
He kept moving around, and after a few minutes he saw the old woman not far away.
The old woman then realized that someone was following her, so she immediately changed direction and stopped in a secluded place.
The vegetation here is lush and dense, blocking out the sun.
Once Ye Feng regained his footing, the old woman let out an angry voice: "Where did this brat come from, daring to follow me? Does he have a death wish?!"
Ignoring the question, Ye Feng calmly asked, "Tell me, what exactly is the relationship between Zhou Wei and the Jiang family?"
The old woman was taken aback.
He then let out a strange, cackling laugh and sneered, "So you came here for that little bitch. I never expected her to have suitors."
"Never mind, let me remind you, some things are beyond your control. Instead of worrying about others, you should worry about yourself!"
"Too many people die inexplicably these days, and you seem like one of them."
Swish!
As soon as he finished speaking, Ye Feng vanished from his spot.
The old woman was startled and searched around with her eyes. The next second, her pupils shrank, and Ye Feng appeared in front of her like a ghost!
A sense of crisis welled up in her heart. As Ye Feng slapped her, she immediately crossed her arms to try to block, but it was all in vain.
The immense force struck her arms, and her entire body felt as if it had been hit by a speeding car. The old woman was thrown backward uncontrollably, crashing through several trees before finally coming to a stop.
puff!
The old woman landed heavily and struggled several times but couldn't get up.
The black robe fell away, revealing an old woman with wrinkled skin and gray hair whose expression turned extremely venomous. Her eyes, sharp as knives, were fixed on Ye Feng as she cursed, "You little bastard, do you know who I am? How dare you..."
"Shut up!"
Ye Feng strode forward and stomped his foot directly on the old woman's withered head, looking down at her: "Talk or die."
The extreme pressure on her head made the old woman's face increasingly contorted in pain.
So much so that it even let out low growls of pain.
However, compared to the physical pain, the psychological humiliation was even harder for her to accept.
Putting aside the age difference between them, she was old enough to be Ye Feng's grandmother. As a servant of the Jiang family, she never imagined that she would be humiliated like this!
"Kid!"
"How dare you! I am a member of the Jiang family. How could you treat me so cruelly? Aren't you afraid the Jiang family will hold you accountable later?"
"Don't ruin your future and destroy your life!"
Suppressing her inner resentment, the old woman practically squeezed out her words through clenched teeth.
Since this guy's methods are so remarkable, how could he not know about the Jiang family?
That was her most prized identity!
She thought that Ye Feng would restrain himself after revealing his trump card, but her only response was a powerful kick!
Click!
The powerful force squeezed her head, and even her skull made a cracking sound as it was subjected to the immense pressure. Her already thin face now appeared even smaller.
Half of his face was deformed, and the other half was embedded in the mud.
"Incorrect answer."
"You have one last chance."
Ye Feng's expression was cold, and his words seemed to come from hell, chilling to the bone.
What utter nonsense! Anyone who dares to be arrogant in front of his woman and make her cry is already halfway to their doom!
That real killing intent seeped into her body from every limb and bone, and the old woman trembled all over, her heart breaking with fear!
Having lived to this age, this is the first time I've been so close to death!
This kid's gone mad!
He completely ignored her status and was only interested in that little bitch!
Feeling the pressure on her head growing increasingly intense, she forcefully suppressed all humiliation and hatred, and shouted, "Stop...stop, be gentle, I'll talk, I'll tell you everything!"
"Zhou Wei...she...she's actually the illegitimate daughter of the Jiang family!"
