The Time-Limited Love and Marriage-Chapter 264

On the same night, in the back courtyard of the Emperor City Feng Family—

Under the cold moonlight, a tall man stood in front of the bamboo forest, the breeze stirring, as if he had distanced himself from all the hustle and bustle of the city, serene.

Fang Jin had been called over in the middle of the night and, seeing Feng Yu like this, suddenly had a foreboding feeling.

"Master, what do you need me for?" Pressing down the unease in his heart, Fang Jin stepped forward to pay his respects.

"This evening, Patriarch Qin came to me, asking if the Feng Family has recently made enemies with the Qin Family, claiming that someone from my side broke his daughter’s leg. I was curious to know who this reckless person was, and after some inquiry, I found out it was you."

Feng Yu continued to gaze at the distant bamboo forest, rustling in the breeze, his back sending shivers down one’s spine.

Faced with Feng Yu’s direct approach, Fang Jin was somewhat at a loss for words.

"Why exactly did you break Qin Shuang’s leg? Give me an explanation."

When Feng Yu saw that Fang Jin remained silent, he asked again, "Has the Fang Family gained enough confidence now, no longer wanting to be a vassal to the Feng Family, and is considering starting on your own?"

Feng Yu turned to look at Fang Jin, his extraordinarily handsome face exuding a chilling aura that was both uncanny and unsettling.

Fang Jin understood Feng Yu and knew that this was a prelude to the man’s fury.

If he did not quickly divert the man’s rage now, he feared the entire Fang Family’s centuries-old foundation might be destroyed in an instant.

This is Feng Yu.

Regardless of how good your relationship with him or his family was in the past, once you provoke him, he will ruthlessly uproot you and your family.

His uncompromising way of doing things had become the Feng Family’s modus operandi in recent years, making other prestigious families in Emperor City dare not easily offend them.

Fang Jin knew too well the consequences of angering this man, which he couldn’t afford, so he had no choice but to disregard his previous arrangement with Miss Xi, and whispered, "It was Miss Xi..."

"Xixi? Do you have news about her?" Feng Yu never expected that this matter would be connected to a certain person.

At this moment, he couldn’t wait to approach Fang Jin, his black eyes unable to hide his joy.

"Yes." In his heart, Fang Jin silently apologized to Jiang Moxi, then proceeded to tell the story of Qin Shuang tricking Fang Yong to deal with Jiang Moxi.

He also said, "Miss Xi told me that if Qin Shuang remained whole and sound, she would feel wronged."

Therefore, Feng Yu laughed, "Since Xixi herself has made this request, how can we only break one leg? Go, arrange a banquet, and invite the Qin family of three over as guests."

Feng Yu’s magnetic voice, in the night wind, sounded like the grim reaper’s death knell.

Fang Jin knew that this arrangement also hinted that the Qin family of three would not meet a good end, but he could only proceed as Feng Yu commanded.

The next day at noon, when the Qin family of three received the banquet invitation from the Feng Family, they were quite surprised.

"Could there be any problem with the Feng Family Patriarch suddenly inviting our family to a banquet?" Mrs. Qin Jiang Yan was somewhat nervous.

Anyone who had mixed in the Emperor City circles knew how ruthlessly and resolutely Feng Yu acted.

Jiang Yan had never heard of Feng Yu truly getting along well with any family.

So she felt that tonight’s banquet at the Feng Family would likely be a trap set up, akin to the Banquet at Hongmen.

Mr. Qin, Qin Xiangyang, then said, "I think Feng Yu might want to apologize to Shuangshuang. I mentioned to him yesterday that Fang Jin broke Shuangshuang’s leg."

"Are you sure it’s really an apology? To be honest, I’ve always felt that there’s something sinister about Feng Yu. If it really is a set-up like the Banquet at Hongmen..."

Jiang Yan didn’t dare to continue.

Qin Xiangyang was also uncertain and asked Qin Shuang, "Shuangshuang, are you sure you haven’t offended anyone from the Feng Family?"

When asked, Qin Shuang’s mind immediately conjured up the image of Jiang Moxi.

It must have been for Jiang Moxi that Fang Jin broke her, Qin Shuang’s, leg; this much was certain.

But was Jiang Moxi from the Feng Family?

Heh, impossible.

Jiang Moxi’s surname was Jiang, not the same at all!

Moreover, if Jiang Moxi really belongs to the Feng Family, how could she possibly work as a waitress at Night Color?

Having sorted out her thoughts, Qin Shuang said, "I’m sure of it. It’s like Fang Jin had a brain fart, storming in, pinning the blame on me without any sense of right or wrong."

Qin Shuang even sobbed a few times, looking incredibly wronged.

"With my current physical condition, I hardly ever leave the Qin Family throughout the year, how could I possibly know let alone instigate Fang Yong? It’s nothing more than their own failure to discipline him, so they look for an excuse to frame someone else."

"They only target me because I’m bedridden all year around and easy to bully! If I were healthier, they wouldn’t dare to pin such groundless accusations on me."

This was a trick Qin Shuang often used, citing her physical condition to stay behind the scenes while those who loved her became her pawns, thereby achieving her goal of punishing Fang Jin.

Qin Xiangyang and Jiang Yan did not know Qin Shuang’s true intentions, and found her words reasonable, becoming even more unforgiving towards Fang Jin.

Qin Xiangyang even said, "Whether it’s a banquet or not, we must go to the Feng Family today to seek justice for Shuangshuang and make Fang Jin pay the price he deserves."

So, the three members of their family went to the banquet as planned.

The butler led them to a table filled with exquisite dining options, then prepared to leave.

"Where is Mr. Feng? Inviting the three of us here without even showing his face?"

The Qin Family held a lofty status in Emperor City, and as Patriarch Qin, Qin Xiangyang naturally cared about such etiquette.

Of course, he was also trying to gauge Feng Yu’s attitude through his behavior and their invitation to analyze the motive behind the banquet, so he could quickly distance himself from risk if something seemed off.

"The master will be here shortly."

As if on cue, just as the butler finished speaking, Feng Yu appeared.

"Mr. Qin, as someone with the surname Feng who has hosted a banquet for your family, I naturally wouldn’t be absent."

Feng Yu in his three-piece suit, with his tall figure accentuated to look even more dashing and majestic, resembled a perfect deity stepped out from Greek mythology, not at all like the bloodthirsty tyrant he was rumored to be.

In that moment, Qin Shuang, nearly spellbound, looked at Feng Yu, forgetting everything around her.

She had heard of Feng Yu, knew of his unpredictable mood and bloodthirsty brutality, but never imagined he could be so handsome.

In his presence, Mo Yifeng’s face seemed bland and uninteresting.

She even thought, how wonderful it would be to annul her engagement with Mo Yifeng now and be together with Feng Yu?

Qin Xiangyang was unaware of his daughter’s thoughts, rushing forward to greet Feng Yu and probe the purpose of today’s feast.

But Feng Yu’s response was discreet, leaving Qin Xiangyang, a veteran in the business world, unable to deduce his motives.

Therefore, the Qin family only had the option to begin indulging in the sumptuous feast at Feng Yu’s invitation.

It wasn’t until they were full from wine and food that sudden noises of a fight came from the restaurant entrance.

Qin Xiangyang looked towards the noise upon hearing it and saw his own bodyguards, whom he had brought to guard against Feng Yu’s, fighting with the Feng Family’s bodyguards.

Qin Xiangyang immediately looked at Feng Yu, "Mr. Feng, what is the meaning of this?"

He then saw Feng Yu taking a golf club from Fang Jin, wiping it as he walked towards Qin Shuang.

"I feel that just one leg isn’t enough to show my sincerity towards Xixi. So... Miss Qin will have to endure some inconvenience."

"No! What Xixi? Get away from me!"

Realizing what Feng Yu intended to do, and for the first time sensing the terror emanating from this man, Qin Shuang frantically tried to escape his presence.

But with her one leg in a cast and sitting in a wheelchair, she simply couldn’t evade this devil.

Qin Xiangyang and Jiang Yan also realized what Feng Yu was about to do to Qin Shuang, and they hurriedly lunged to protect her.

Yet they were still a step too late.

Feng Yu swung the club adeptly, viciously striking Qin Shuang’s shin.

"Ah..."

The piercing scream of Qin Shuang immediately resounded throughout the entire Feng Mansion.
