Seeing Ji Feng's smiling expression, He Hong knew that no matter how he explained to him today, he wouldn't believe him. Hence, he decided to just stay silent and shake his head with a faint smile.
Zhou Fei Fei glared at Ji Feng, as if blaming him for speaking nonsense, but it also seemed to contain some other meaning, and a complicated look appeared in her beautiful eyes.
"Dong, dong, dong!"
"Exquisite Blood Bloom!"
"Thousand Bladed Fis.h.!.+"
… ….
One by one, dishes were brought up and placed on the table. Within moments, the originally empty table was filled with all kinds of dishes.
"Thank you!"
He Yingguo smiled elegantly.
The smile on the waiter's face suddenly became more enthusiastic. She sweetly smiled and quickly walked out. It is always pleasant to meet polite and graceful guests.
"I drove here." Ji Feng covered his wine cup, "Don't let me make a mistake! I think I'll have a drink. "
"Don't worry, I've heard about your alcohol tolerance. During the new year, you will be extremely famous." He Hongwei laughed, "Even if you get drunk today, someone will send you home."
Ji Feng's brows twitched as he moved his hand away, but his heart was trembling with fear.
It was only a family banquet, but He Hong also knew that!
"Don't misunderstand." He Hongjun waved his hand with a smile and said, "It was said by Young Master Ji and a few of his best buddies drinking in the bar."
"Let's not talk about this anymore, let's drink!" Ji Feng smiled.
"Cheers!"
"Young Master Ji, we had some misunderstandings back in the Jiang and Zhe Dynasties. Let me toast you. I hope you won't take it to heart!" Zhou Fei Fei said with a complicated look on her face.
If not for his interference, perhaps no one would have found out about the case back then. In fact, Zhou Fei Fei Fei should have hated him for it.
However, she did not have the slightest bit of hatred towards him. Perhaps the entire Zhou family was forced by the Ji family's power to not reveal their hatred towards Ji Feng, and they did not dare to secretly get Zhou s.h.i.+lin out from the prison. They could only force Zhou s.h.i.+lin to be punished according to the law. However, Zhou Fei Fei knew that her family still had some misgivings about this matter.
However, Zhou Fei Fei Fei was different, she truly did not have any hatred in her heart.
Regardless of whether or not Ji Feng sent Zhou s.h.i.+lin to prison to deal with the Zhou family, or whether or not it was for the Ji family's power to enter Jiang and Zhe province, that was not important. Most importantly, he had given Zhou Fei Fei a chance to make up for the mistakes that Zhou s.h.i.+ Lin had made.
If it wasn't for Ji Feng revealing this case, they would still be in the dark.
If it was said that the rest of the Zhou Family did not know what Zhou s.h.i.+lin had done that year, Zhou Fei Fei Fei could not guarantee it. However, she did not know about it, otherwise she would not have allowed Zhou s.h.i.+lin to remain free and unfettered.
On one hand, Zhou Fei Fei Fei was very grateful for Ji Feng's actions, on the other hand, she also felt that she had lost a lot of face in front of Ji Feng. After all, her little brother had done such a thing, and she was not sure if Ji Feng would look at her with the same eyes, thinking that she was an unruly and unreasonable rich girl, so much that he hated her!
Ji Feng smiled, picked up his cup and clinked his teacup with hers, laughing, "I do not care about those things, I am just a student. However, I still have a suggestion. If I were to encounter this kind of thing again in the future, can I put myself in the shoes of the other party? "
"Young Master Ji's lesson is right, Fei Fei will definitely remember it!" Zhou Fei Fei said as she took a sip of red wine.
"Alright, the two of you don't have to push each other around like that." He Hongwei laughed, "Let's toast!"
After the meal, Ji Feng didn't drink much wine. He felt a little strange in his heart, wondering why He Hui suddenly came looking for him.
Furthermore, Zhou Fei Fei Fei was beside him, so he could not speak carelessly. One had to know that if they were to say something, they would accidentally leak out a lot of important information.
As such, either He Hui or Ji Feng would tell them about the interesting things that happened in the school, and with a charming woman like Zhou Fei Fei to liven things up, it was only natural that the three of them would laugh heartily.
Ji Feng felt a sense of novelty. He had never expected that He Hui would actually be together with Zhou Fei Fei. Based on He Hui's status, his family shouldn't agree to this marriage. Although the Zhou family was very powerful, but it was limited to the Jiang and Zhe regions. They were still far from being able to match up to the true giants.
From the looks of it, Zhou Fei Fei Fei should be a woman that He Hui raised on the outside. After all, in the aristocratic families, such a thing was a common occurrence.
However, when he thought of Zhou Fei Fei and He Hui's earlier denials, Ji Feng hesitated. Were these two really together?
However, before he made an accurate judgement, Ji Feng was not in a hurry to tell his father.
After about forty minutes, the three of them had drunk most of their fill, and the dishes on the table had been eaten up as well. Zhou Fei Fei Fei blushed a little as she said softly: "Please enjoy yourselves, I'm going out for a while!"
After Zhou Fei Fei walked out of the room, He Hong gave Ji Feng a cigarette, and after the two of them lit it up, he said: "Ji Feng, the main reason why I invited you here today is not to drink wine. In truth, I want to thank you personally."
"Thank me?"
Ji Feng laughed: "Young Master He, as long as I don't lend you any money and I don't give you any benefits, what is there to thank me for?"
"It's just a coincidence!" Ji Feng smiled.
"Coincidentally or not, if you hadn't appeared in time, I might have been buried in the cemetery by now." "More importantly, you destroyed Western Xia together with the Eternal War, and also captured the important figures of the dynasty, forcing the entire dynasty to retreat, so that I don't have to be on guard all day long. Tell me, should I thank you?"
"Then I will say that I have no qualms about it!" Ji Feng nodded as he boasted shamelessly, "Whether it's saving you or dealing with the dynasty, it's not that safe. I have to risk my life several times …"
Ji Feng laughed, "There's no other way. People are short on ambition. You haven't even said how you would thank me!"
"There will be a chance!" He Hong nodded seriously and said.
"Don't!"
Ji Feng immediately said, "I have to do something practical to thank you. You've called me over from such a long distance away, so just saying a few words of thanks is out of the question."
"Kid, when it's time to be thick-skinned, you're much thicker than Ji Shalei." He Hui laughed out loud, "Ji Feng, don't worry. I, He Hui do not like to owe others, but I owe you twice. I will definitely repay you!"
Ji Feng raised his wine cup and clinked it against his own, laughing, "I was just joking, there's no need to take it seriously!"
Ji Feng smiled. They were all intelligent people, there was no need for them to be so clear about what he meant. Besides, it would ruin the atmosphere if he kept talking about it.
At least, in private, both of them admired each other. There was no such thing as an open rivalry or covert conflict between the He family and the Ji family. Therefore, the two of them unconsciously maintained their friends.h.i.+p, hoping that they wouldn't become enemies because of the clan's matters!
More importantly, He Hui's grat.i.tude towards Ji Feng came from the bottom of his heart, and he didn't use any polite words to reply to Ji Feng.
The reason was because of Ji Feng's various actions a while ago. The most obvious reason was that he had risked his life to save He Yingguo's life at the front door of Jinling Road.
At that time, even though Ji Feng knew that he was an a.s.sa.s.sin, he still dared to directly crash into him without regard for his life. Just this once alone, He Hui owed Ji Feng a life.
Not to mention the fact that Ji Feng's subsequent actions were akin to providing help in the middle of a snowstorm to He Hui. This favor was greatly owed!
