?22: 022: Shocked 22: 022: Shocked “Dad, lie down quickly.” The second-generation members of the Xia Family were all scared half to death and hurried over.

    “I’m fine, no need to make such a fuss,” Xia Chengdong said, gently waving his hand, but there was an excited look between his brows.

    However, everyone in the Xia Family household looked at each other, thinking that it looked like a “returning light,” and each had their concerns.

    If Mr.

    Xia passed away, it would be extremely difficult for them to take over.

    Xia Laosi was in business, so the impact on him wasn’t heavy, but it would still significantly affect his future ventures.

    Speaking of the fifth daughter of the Xia Family, she too had a not insignificant status

    Looking at the family, they were all formidable figures, and of course, their status today was inseparable from Mr.

    Xia’s reputation and guidance.

    A tiger father has no dog children, after all.

    However, the Xia Family was not the most powerful family, but they were a force that could not be ignored.

    Therefore, the children of the Xia Family were anxious.

    There would be movements in a few months, and they all somewhat looked forward to it.

    No matter qualifications, tenure, or performance, they were impeccable.

    However, if Mr.

    Xia were no longer around, they might not drop to a second-class family, but they would be at the bottom of the first-class.

    This was not something the offspring of the Xia Family wanted to see.

    So they were all very nervous.

    At this point, Mr.

    Xia asked the five siblings to stay behind and the rest were asked to leave the room.

    Tang Feng sat on the stone bench under the tree as Xia Jingyu came over to him, “What did you do to Grandpa?” she asked in a quiet voice.

    “Nothing much.

    It’s getting late.

    I’ve seen the person I was supposed to, and now I need to leave.” Tang Feng still had to find a place to stay.

    “Your matter can wait, my grandpa is more important.” Xia Jingyu held onto him, her eyes pleading.

    “Mr.

    Xia is fine now, there’s no need to worry.

    I still need to find a place to stay, don’t waste my time.” Tang Feng was indeed in a hurry, wanting to deal with worldly matters like today’s as little as possible in the future.

    “It’s just a matter of finding a place to live, I’ll find one for you,” said Xia Jingyu.

    Tang Feng was stunned, “No need, I’ll find something cheaper.”

    “You’re my lifesaver, listen to me on this,” she said, then picked up the phone.

    “Sis, don’t you still have a room that you haven’t rented out?

    I have a friend here, but it’s a guy.

    He’s reliable, very reliable.” Xia Jingyu assured on the side, then hung up the phone after a while.

    “It’s settled, tomorrow just happens to be Saturday.

    I’ll take you there.” Xia Jingyu, true to being a businessperson, did things without delay.

    “Just to be clear, if it’s too expensive, I don’t want it.”

    “Of course, eight hundred a month, a thirty-square-meter room, how about that?” Xia Jingyu said.

    Tang Feng wasn’t very clear on room sizes, just needing a quiet space, and felt somewhat hopeful inside.

    At that moment, the door opened, and the Xia siblings came out.

    They let two old doctors in.

    They then approached Tang Feng, “Esteemed nephew, thank you.” The five warmly shook hands with Tang Feng one by one, puzzling the Xia Family members.

    “Listen up, everyone, Tang Feng is now a benefactor of the Xia Family.

    If he faces any difficulty, you must help unconditionally, have you all understood?” The eldest of the Xia Family spoke up, and naturally, no one from the Xia Family dared not to listen, though they didn’t understand why.

    “Jing Yu, we owe you big time this time.

    Grandpa is fine now.

    Thank him properly for us and bring him over to the house when you have time,” Jing Yu’s dad said with a smile.

    “Sure, sure.” Jing Yu watched the elder members of the Xia Family, stunned as they all wore smiles.

    Could it be that Grandpa was really fine?

    Tang Feng, on the other hand, appeared indifferent, unaffected by praise or criticism.

    This made the uncles and elder members of the Xia Family nod ceaselessly; the young man’s maturity didn’t match his age, and they all appreciated that.

    It was as if he had helped the Xia Family for the second time, his kindness greater than heaven.

    As Mr.

    Xia instructed, from now on, Tang Feng was a man of the Xia Family, no second word about it.

    This was enough to explain everything.

    Xia Jingyu didn’t go to disturb her grandfather and left with Tang Feng, pulling him into a bar.

    It was another high-end place, and as Tang Feng looked at the lights and colors inside, he finally experienced the charm of the mortal world.

    Such places irresistibly tempted one to indulge, and Tang Feng found it quite the eye-opener.

    His former self, although he lived in such an urban center, was just as unworldly.

    Apart from going to school, coming home, eating, and sleeping, he knew nothing else.

    The Tang Feng who came from the Immortal Realm was no different.

    “You’re not going to tell me you’ve never been to a place like this before,” Xia Jingyu said, looking at Tang Feng’s astonished expression, somewhat exasperated.

    “I’ve never been here before.

    Our pursuits are different, and so are our thoughts,” Tang Feng could only respond like that.

    He certainly couldn’t say he’s from the Immortal Realm, so of course he’s never been here.

    Fairies have to keep up appearances too; they can’t just go around showing that they like something.

    “Keep pretending, then.

    What would you like to drink?” Xia Jingyu asked.

    “I don’t know anything about this stuff, just order me something random.” Tang Feng said, looking at the colorful drinks.

    “I’ll get you a Flaming Snow Mountain.” Xia Jingyu ordered two drinks.

    Hers had three different colors, while Tang Feng’s had only one.

    In his glass, there seemed to be a flame-like swirl at the top, with a snowy white layer at the bottom.

    Tang Feng tried a sip, and his eyes immediately lit up; a spark of brilliance showed.

    This was good stuff, truly like swallowing a flame—warm but not burning the throat, much better than the liquor in the Immortal Realm.

    Not enough, he ought to broaden his horizons.

    Maybe he should open a place in the Immortal Realm; Immortal Crystals would be easy to come by.

    “What are you thinking about, smiling so wickedly?” Xia Jingyu shivered as she caught Tang Feng’s smile.

    “No taste; this is called being handsome, get it?” Tang Feng said as he watched the men and women swaying in the dance floor, feeling a stir within his blood.

    He couldn’t help himself and walked into their midst, starting to move slowly with them.

    “This guy really plays the part, doesn’t he?

    Thought you didn’t like it, huh, and yet there you go, into the middle of the women.” Xia Jingyu said with disdain.

    But she hadn’t expected Tang Feng to return so soon, nor for his face to show little excitement.

    “Oh, you’re back so quickly, I thought you were enjoying yourself.” Xia Jingyu sighed with relief inwardly, not quite understanding why she felt this way.

    “Ha, they’re all nothing but mediocre, not interesting at all.”

    Pfft!

    Xia Jingyu laughed.

    “That’s so typical of you men, a good girl if you get her, a bad one if you don’t, right?”

    “How could that be?

    Good or bad is quite obvious, like you; you’re very good, very pleasant to look at.” Tang Feng chuckled.

    “Nonsense, of course I am a good girl, hmph, don’t you dare get any ideas about me.”

    “Hehe, you’re overthinking it.”

    Hehe, men!

    Clearly, Xia Jingyu wasn’t buying it.

    “Do you come here often?” Tang Feng asked.

    Xia Jingyu immediately replied, “How could I?

    I would never condescend to come to a place like this.”

    “You seem very familiar with it though.”

    Xia Jingyu was taken aback by the question, “Of course I’m familiar.

    It’s a friend’s place.

    Don’t make a fuss.” After saying this, Xia Jingyu looked toward the stage, truly bemused herself.

    Watching the crazed crowd on the dance floor, she couldn’t understand their intoxication with it.

    “Miss Xia, how about we take a walk outside?

    Honestly, this place tends to rub people up the wrong way.”

    “Sure, let’s go.

    Where do you want to go?”

    “Just a casual stroll.

    Walking with a beauty is always better than staying here listening to this noise.” Tang Feng stood up to leave.

    Xia Jingyu nodded to the bartender and hurried after him with a click of her heels.

    The two walked side by side.

    The streets were getting emptier, and frankly, Tang Feng enjoyed this feeling very much.

    So did Xia Jingyu.

    She had never gone out with a man like this before, let alone wandered the streets.

    Surprisingly, she found that even she could settle her restless mind.

    Remembering all the miraculous things about Tang Feng, she couldn’t help but steal a few more glances at him.

    “What, entranced by the sight of me?

    Got touched by my handsomeness, did you?” Tang Feng teased as he felt her gaze.

    “Please, I was just looking at the night scene across the street.

    You’re the one with the wild imagination,” Xia Jingyu certainly wasn’t going to admit it.

    Tang Feng laughed heartily, not dwelling on it further.

    Either way, they were both enjoying the situation at hand.
