"Mayor, good to see you!"

"Mayor, you've arrived!"

"Mayor..."

At this moment, upon seeing the middle-aged man, everyone at the table began to greet him one after another. Even the arrogant second young master of the Zhou family put on a respectful face and instantly let go of Wen Xing's hair, which he had been grabbing.

Overhearing this, Ye Feng also released the second young master's arm and turned to look.

The middle-aged man appeared to be in his forties or fifties, with a serious face full of authority. Upon seeing Ye Feng, a hint of puzzlement flashed through his brows:

"Young man, where are you from? You don't seem to be from Zhangjiang Town, are you?"

Mayor Zhang Xueren was asking Ye Feng at the moment, but his expression contained an underlying displeasure, clearly angered that Ye Feng had attempted to start a fight at his elderly father's birthday celebration.

Realizing the Mayor was somewhat angry, Wen Lan quickly said, "Uncle Zhang, he is my boyfriend Ye Feng! He came with me this time to pick up my mother and brother!"

"Ah, it's Lanlan!"

Mayor Zhang Xueren, upon seeing Wen Lan, softened his expression a bit and then sternly said to Ye Feng and the second young master:

"I don't care what you two are fighting about here! But I'll tell you this, today is my old father's birthday, and some very important figures will be arriving soon. I can overlook this incident! But if there is a next time, I will definitely have you both removed, no matter who it is!"

Zhang Xueren clearly was dissatisfied with the conflict between Ye Feng and the second young master during the birthday party. After sternly saying his piece, he turned and walked away.

Watching the Mayor leave, the second young master's lips curled into a vicious smile and then pointed at Ye Feng:

"Kid, you're finished! Even a funny monkey sent by the Buddha won't be able to save you now!"

After the menacing threat, the second young master arrogantly took Xiao Jing's hand and left.

Just as he left, another young man came over.

Zhou Sabi!

Zhou Sabi looked very different from the second young master. His features were handsome and he seemed suave, but his eyes were narrow and constantly held a sinister look that made him quite uncomfortable to behold.

He had witnessed the entire conflict between his brother and Ye Feng and had also heard the Mayor's warning to both. Now, with a wicked smile on his face, he approached.

"Lanlan, you're becoming more beautiful by the day!"

Zhou Sabi didn't even glance at the other people at the table. His narrow eyes roamed over Wen Lan, flickering with intense desire.

Wen Lan was very pretty when she was a student, but she wasn't nearly as breathtakingly beautiful as she was now.

Especially after Wen Lan became a flight attendant, she exuded an unintentional grace and allure, which, after having seen her at the class reunion last year, made Zhou Sabi obsessed and unable to stop thinking about her.

Seeing Zhou Sabi approach, everyone else at the table made way for the seat of honor, some even pouring tea and falling over themselves to please him.

After Zhou Sabi sat down, he took a sip of water in front of him while his gaze lingered on Wen Lan, and the more he looked, the more his heart pounded.

This kind of top-grade woman was a thousand, no, a million times better than those vulgar women in town!

"I must have her! The soul-stirring pleasure of such a top-grade beauty... huh..."

Zhou Sabi harbored repulsive thoughts in his heart, but he maintained a warm smile on his face and said to Wen Xing:

"Little Xing, our second brother simply has a bad temper, don't take it to heart! After I marry your sister, I will definitely find you a beautiful wife to take good care of you!"

Zhou Sabi, with an air of familiarity, now clasped Wen Xing's shoulder affectionately and said,

Wen Lan's complexion instantly turned ashen, and with a shrug of his shoulders, Wen Xing flicked Zhou Sabi's hand away, his face filled with disgust and revulsion.

"You will never become my brother-in-law! My brother-in-law is Brother Ye Feng!"

Wen Xing held not the slightest fondness for the members of the Zhou Family, especially loathing the Zhou brothers.

Seeing this, Zhou Sabi's face darkened, a glint of menace flitting across his expression before returning to normal, his lips curving into a smile once more,

"Who your brother-in-law is, you'll find out eventually! A penniless outsider coming to Zhangjiang Town to marry our golden phoenix, that's just a fool's dream!"

Upon hearing Zhou Sabi's words, the visages of the Wen siblings turned exceedingly grim, and right as they were about to retort, the rest of the people at the table chimed in with endorsements.

"The young master is right! Our Zhangjiang Town may be small, but it's not short on talent! Take yourself, for instance, young master, even in Minghe City you call the shots, rubbing shoulders with the Axe Gang as brothers in arms!"

At this moment, a man was speaking to Zhou Sabi with flattering words, using the Minghe City Axe Gang to intimidate Ye Feng.

A woman with thick makeup laughed mockingly at Wen Lan as she took over the conversation,

"Wen Lan! We, your old classmates, have all heard that you returned caked in mud. What's the matter? You didn't walk back home, did you?"

The woman's words illuminated a perceived weakness in Ye Feng and Wen Lan for the others, who began to speak with laughter,

"Wen Lan, tell us, what does your boyfriend do in Mingzhu? What car does he drive? How many properties does he own? What's his annual salary? Let us small-towners broaden our horizons!"

"Yes, Wen Lan! You're Zhangjiang Town's golden phoenix who's flown the nest, your standards for choosing a boyfriend must be high, it seems your boyfriend is definitely a boss! Haha... But even bosses can be broke!"

"What are you talking about! Didn't you notice this young man's outfit, all Versace! Right... It's just, I'm not sure how many hundreds of bucks this Versace cost? It looks almost real!"

"Come on, tell us, Wen Lan, what car do you drive in Mingzhu?"

...

The table was now a cacophony, each person cast a mocking glance at Ye Feng and Wen Lan, incessantly inquiring about the car they drove.

Wen Lan's pretty face nearly dripped with indignation, just as she was about to rise and pull Ye Feng and Wen Xing away, Ye Feng caught her hand and turned to the crowd with a smile,

"We are too poor to afford a good car! We can only drive... only drive..."

Uh...

The crowd, seeing Ye Feng struggle to finish his sentence, was momentarily struck, and then bursts of derisive laughter followed.

"What kind of car? Come on, spit it out! It's not a Santana 2000, is it!? Haha... That would be way too expensive!"

"Exactly! My guess is a bicycle! Otherwise, why haven't we heard about them driving here?"

"Right! Definitely a bicycle, I heard they arrived all muddy, that must be from the bicycle tires flinging mud on them! And I bet they were too embarrassed to ride into town, so they parked outside!"

...

At this moment, the people at the table's imaginations were running wild, as they laughed and speculated.

"Ahem... sorry to disappoint! A bicycle, we really can't afford, we only bought a Mercedes 600!"
