Chapter 388: The Feng Family Wanted to Get Engaged to the Jiang Family
He walked up to Feng Wenshu and pretended to make casual conversation without even looking at him. “Aiya, Second Brother, have you seen the news? That little girl from the Jiang family got first place in the five-subject examination prelims. She’s really amazing!”
Feng Wenshu’s face was dark and he pretended not to hear Feng Le’an.
Since Feng Le’an had already started, he wanted to annoy his brother the whole way. “By the way, Second Brother, didn’t Junhao also participate in the exam this time? How did he do? What’s his rank?”
Truth be told, Feng Le’an already knew that Feng Junhao was ranked third this time, one point less than second place.
One point less was still less though. It was fine if he was behind Jiang Yu but he hadn’t even got second place. Feng Wenshu must be furious.
Feng Wenshu knew Feng Le’an’s intentions but refused to show his emotions in front of Feng Le’an. He calmly said, “The results just came out, right? I haven’t had the time to ask him. If you want to know, you can ask Junhao when he gets home.”
Feng Le’an pretended to be surprised. “Second Brother, there was a time after the last exam, you didn’t ask Junhao about his results immediately as well. Is it because you knew he didn’t get first place, so you just didn’t ask? You’re so good at predicting the future, Second Brother.”
Feng Wenshu’s forehead twitched. He resisted the urge to slap Feng Le’an to death, “I’m busy with work at the moment, so I can’t always keep an eye on Junhao’s results. Besides, Junhao knows that he doesn’t need me to worry. He’s not like Tianrui, who will sneak out to play games if don’t watch him closely.
“At least Jun Hao still has the qualifications to participate in the five subjects joint examination. I’m afraid Tianrui can’t even understand the questions, right?”
Feng Le’an smiled slightly. “I wouldn’t worry, Second Brother. Rui’er has been well-behaved recently. He’s been staying in his room.”
Feng Wenshu snorted coldly. “More like he’s holed up in his room playing games, am I right?”
Feng Le’an: “He hasn’t skipped class recently either.”
Feng Wenshu: “Sleeping in class is indeed not bad.”
Feng Le’an: “Does Junhao like being stepped on by a little girl?”
Feng Wenshu: “It’s better than being like Tianrui who’s stepped on by countless people.”
Seeing that the two of them were about to start arguing again, Feng Zhiyi and Zhao Ningzhen stepped in.
Feng Zhiyi said unhappily, “Why are you arguing again? Do you feel no shame?”
The two of them immediately shut up.
Feng Zhiyi had already heard the two of them. He looked at Feng Le’an and asked, “Which little girl of the Jiang family do you speak of? Jiang Wan or… Jiang Yu?”
Feng Le’an replied, “It’s Jiang Yu, Father.”
Feng Zhiyi said thoughtfully, “I didn’t expect Jiang Yu’s results to be so good.”
Feng Le’an was about to say something when Feng Wenshu interrupted him and said, “Junhao didn’t get first place in the five-subject prelim exams. The first place went to Jiang Yu.”
Rather than being stabbed in the face by Feng Le’an in front of his father, it was better for him to quickly speak for himself.
Feng Le’an knew what his brother was thinking, so he added, “Jiang Yu had gotten full marks on every paper, having a total of 56 points more than Junhao.”
Feng Wenshu: “…”
He glared at Feng Le’an. Feng Le’an shook his body and continued to goad, “Jiang Yu got first place in the last monthly exam as well. Second Brother didn’t dare to say anything about it. Last time we asked him, Junhao was there too, and he didn’t dare admit his loss.”
“Maybe Junhao couldn’t accept such a blow. This time… Second Brother, you have to teach Junhao a lesson. I’m afraid he won’t be able to accept it again.”
“What’s there to be afraid of?” Feng Wenshu retorted. “Junhao has a tough personality. What’s the big deal about such a small matter?”
Feng Le’an seemed to heave a sigh of relief. “It’s good that you’ve gotten over it. It’s fine. There will be plenty of other instances like this in the future as well.”
Feng Wenshu: … He wanted to beat this little brother to death right here, right now.
First, he insinuated that Feng Junhao’s temperament wasn’t good. Then, after he had beat his little brother back, Feng Le’an switched tracks and implied that Feng Junhao wouldn’t be able to turn things around in the future.
They were still in front of Feng Zhiyi though. He found them really annoying.
“Alright, stop talking. What are you talking about?”
Feng Zhiyi cut their conversation short and turned to Feng Wenshu. “Why didn’t you tell me that Junhao didn’t get first place in the last monthly test?”
Feng Wenshu’s heart skipped a beat.
He thought: It’s over.
He had hidden it from Feng Zhiyi because he didn’t want him to know. After all, a small matter like the monthly test results wouldn’t be reported to Feng Zhiyi.
He knew that Junhao wouldn’t be found out, but who knew, because of the five-subject examinations, that Feng Le’an would expose his son!
Feng Wenshu explained, “Dad, Junhao’s performance in the last exam was abnormal. I thought it was just an accident, so I didn’t tell you…”
Feng Le’an interjected, “So his performance this time was also abnormal?”
Feng Wenshu glared fiercely at Feng Le’an. “If you don’t speak, no one will take you for a mute.”
Zhao Ningzhen opened her mouth. “You two are blood-related. Why are you fighting with each other? Le’an, Wenshu is also your older brother. You should be more polite.”
Feng Le’an didn’t respond and merely lowered his head.
Feng Zhiyi swept a glance over the two of them. “Find an opportunity to have Jiang Yu come to the Feng family as a guest.”
Feng Le’an suddenly raised his head.
Feng Wenshu was also surprised.
This was the first time Feng Zhiyi had taken the initiative to invite the daughter of any other family to the Feng family home.
In the past, Feng Wenshu or his brothers had invited some over, and even though he had let them come, Feng Zhiyi had never commented on any of them.
“Okay, Father…”
Feng Zhiyi pointed out, “Go and invite her. If possible, invite her big brother and her other sister as well. The reason is…”
Feng Zhiyi paused and said meaningfully, “Just say that the Feng family wants to discuss wedding arrangements with the Jiang family and invite them over.”
Feng Wenshu was shocked.
Feng Le’an wasn’t any better.
He had a bad thought.
He felt…
That Feng Zhiyi might try to match Jiang Yu with Feng Junhao…
What about Rui’er?
No!
He had to quickly discuss this with his wife!
Feng Wenshu’s expression changed and he agreed, “Alright, Father. I’ll make the arrangements.”
Feng Zhiyi nodded and left with Zhao Ningzhen.
Before leaving, Zhao Ningzhen glanced at Feng Wenshu but did not say anything.
…
This news quickly reached Feng Linbai’s ears.
“You said that Feng Zhiyi invited Yu’er to discuss wedding arrangements?”
Feng Linbai sneered. “An old fox is indeed an old fox. He even wants to use Yu’er to test me. Guess what he wants to do?”
Ke Yanbin said in a serious tone, “Your subordinate doesn’t want to guess.”
Was he stupid?
After being tricked so many times by his master, he had already begun to doubt his own intelligence. Why would he still want to guess?
“If you don’t want to guess, I’ll have you married off.”
Ke Yanbin was silent for a moment. “Master, he died early in the morning. There’s no longer any arranged marriage.”
Feng Linbai glanced at his subordinate. “It seems that I haven’t been clear enough with Feng Zhiyi. I have my heart set on Yu’er. I’ll tell him clearly that his broken assets are worthless in my eyes.”
