Chapter 46: Isn’t This Is Poor Upbringing?
The two of them stood in front of Jiang Yu and Feng Linbai. Then, the older man asked, “Fifth Brother, is this your guest?”
Feng Linbai answered, “Yes, Second Brother.”
Silence fell as there was nothing left to say, leaving Feng Wenshu and Feng Junhao to just stand around idly.
Neither of them had any intention of introducing themselves. Feng Wenshu opened his mouth once again and asked, “Fifth Brother, which family is this young lady from?”
Jiang Yu finished the cake and then took a sip of the black tea Feng Linbai had prepared for her. She wiped her mouth with a tissue before standing up. She raised her eyes and said calmly, “My surname is Jiang, Jiang Yu.”
“So it’s the young lady of the Jiang family,” Feng Wenshu said with a knowing look.
He had laid eyes before on the famous Miss Jiang of the Jiang family, Jiang Wan, who was known in the inner circle as a talented young lady.
This unfamiliar girl must be the newly recognized young miss of the Jiang family.
From the looks of it, the true young miss of the Jiang family was just an ordinary person. It was said that her grades weren’t that good and she didn’t have any talent. She was far inferior to Jiang Wan.
But he could understand.
Although Jiang Wan was only the stepdaughter of the Jiang family, she had lived with the?Jiang family for over more than ten years. The influence of a famous family wasn’t something that a small family could compare to.
Even though Jiang Yu was the real daughter of the Jiang family, she did not have the aura of a noble in her bones. How could the education of an ordinary family compare to the elite education of a wealthy family? Habits petty in nature have probably seeped into her bones, difficult to change.
It was evident from the fact that Jiang Yu did not even stand up to greet him when he had appeared.
Look, isn’t this an example of poor upbringing?
How rude.
Feng Wenshu was already displeased with Jiang Yu, but it did not show on his face. “How did Miss Jiang get to know you, Fifth Brother? I heard that Miss Jiang has only just returned to the Jiang family.”
Before Feng Linbai could reply, Jiang Yu had already said three simple words. “Just a coincidence.”
Feng Linbai smiled. “Yes, coincidence.”
What kind of coincidence would bring these two together?
Feng Wenshu was puzzled and wanted to get more information out of Jiang Yu. He then said, “My fifth brother has just returned to the Feng family and doesn’t usually interact with anyone. I was afraid that he would be bored out of his mind if he stayed at home too often. It’s much better now that you’re here to accompany him.”
“Miss Jiang, you can always come over to accompany Linbai. If your brother asks, I will help you explain. If your brother wants to come along, that wouldn’t be impossible.”
“Oh.”
Feng Wenshu felt as if he had walked into a wall. This Jiang Yu was so cold that he couldn’t utter another word for some time after.
But it was also strange.
You could say it was because she had just entered the Feng family and was frightened by the Feng family’s grandeur, so she didn’t know how to speak and simply didn’t say anything, but there was no trace of fear or timidness on her face.
Feng Wenshu even felt that the way she looked at him was no different from looking at a mere passerby.
Does she know her place?
Does she know who she was talking to?
The fact is, as Jiang Yu was looking at Feng Wenshu, she was still trying to recall the plot of the book.
In fact, she didn’t remember much about Feng Wenshu at all.
She only remembered that, as the second son of the Feng family, Feng Wenshu had a lot of opinions, but he didn’t have much talent in managing companies.
Feng Wenshu’s eldest brother, Feng Yuankai, the eldest son, was the original successor to the head of the Feng family, Feng Zhiyi had placed high hopes on this. Unfortunately, two years ago, as Feng Yuankai and his wife had been traveling on a private plane for business, the plane had crashed and resulted in their demise.
Feng Yuankai and his wife had been married for many years, but they had left nothing behind. After the two of them passed on, the eldest brother’s lineage was broken.
Chapter 47: Let Junhao Teach You
Of the three remaining children of the Feng family, the second and third were sons, and the fourth was a daughter.
Feng Zhiyi was a man of conservative views. He felt that the family business should be passed down to a male heir, not a female, and even when compared to a useless third son, the second child was still barely passable.
As a result, the power in Feng Yuankai’s hands was gradually being transferred to Feng Wenshu.
Feng Wenshu was currently the vice-president of the Feng Corporation. Feng Zhiyi was still the head of the company but was preparing to retire in another two or three years. However, at that time, it was still unclear who would take his position.
Originally, the second and third brothers had been fighting tooth to nail over the coveted position. Who would have thought that Feng Zhiyi would bring back another heir, Feng Linbai, and the two brothers would have an additional rival.
However, this Feng Linbai had a well-hidden past. Feng Zhiyi had failed to find out Linbai’s true background even after several attempts and had passed away due to illness shortly three years later.
Because of this, Feng Wenshu had gained control of the Feng family as he had wanted. However, due to his lack of ability, he could not hold on to it. Hence, after his son, Feng Junhao graduated, he wasted no time in leaving the mess to him.
Following that, Feng Junhao’s male lead aura came to light, and he began his journey as a domineering CEO.
But now, he was only a high school student.
Faced with Jiang Yu’s coldness, Feng Wenshu took a deep breath and changed the topic, “I heard that you are also in high school, the same grade as Junhao. Since you are fifth brother’s friend, if you have any troubles with your studies, you can ask Junhao.”
Jiang Yu turned to look at Feng Junhao.
This was the first time she has laid eyes on the male lead of the book.
The young man had on a white shirt. He had black hair and black eyes, his face was sharp and handsome. He stood up straight-backed but he was still young, still possessing a youthful look.
At this moment, Jiang Yu could clearly read the words written across his face, “disdain”.
He gave her a short glance, then turned his face away and said, “Dad, it’s almost time for the college entrance exam. I’m very busy.”
When Feng Junhao first heard that the girl who came to look for Feng Linbai was Jiang Yu, he did not have a good impression of her. After hearing what Feng Wenshu said, his disgust toward her grew even deeper.
They were the same age, but after what his father said, it now seemed like he’s a year younger than her. No one could understand what his father was thinking.
Feng Wenshu pretended to be displeased and said, “Junhao, how can you say that? She’s your fifth uncle’s friend after all.”
Feng Junhao snorted, “Then why don’t you ask Fifth Uncle to teach her instead?”
“Junhao, it’s not like you don’t know how inconvenient that would be for your fifth uncle...”
Feng Wenshu glanced at Feng Linbai with a hint of mockery in his eyes.
Even though Feng Linbai couldn’t see it, Jiang Yu could see it clearly.
For some reason, she felt a little uncomfortable.
“There’s no need.”
A cold and hoarse female voice suddenly cut in. Feng Wenshu and Feng Junhao were stunned for a second. Then, Jiang Yu continued, “I said, I don’t need your son to teach me.”
Feng Wenshu immediately felt displeased. Who did was she think she was talking to?
“Dad,” Feng Junhao said, “A few days ago, the Fourth Young Master of the Jiang family, Jiang Zeyu, came to borrow my notebook and said that it was for his sister, Jiang Yu. Since Miss Jiang already has my notebook, I think that should be enough for her to learn from.”
Jiang Yu frowned.
Didn’t Jiang Zeyu immediately return the notebook to him? Didn’t he return it?
Feng Linbai also frowned.
How could the little lady have another kid’s book on her hands?
Moreover, it was Jiang Zeyu who had lent it to her. Could the little lady be like other girls and blindly worship those who had good grades?
Chapter 48: He Can’t Teach Me Anything
Thinking about it, he had heard that Feng Junhao had good looks, maybe he had been able to trick the young lady...
But he was just a young lad who can’t even grow a proper mustache. How could he be any better than him?
The little lady’s standards may be slipping. No, he should remind her of her true standing.
With that said, if she needed help with her studies, he would be a good choice.
Feng Linbai was still thinking about how to convey this to Jiang Yu when he heard her say, “I didn’t want to borrow the notebook.”
“I asked him to return it.”
“That thing is useless to me.”
She paused for a moment before repeating, “I said I didn’t need it because he can’t teach me anything.”
Feng Linbai tried to suppress the smile spreading across his face.
The little girl was still as crazy as ever.
But he liked it.
Feng Wenshu and Feng Junhao were both stunned.
What... did Jiang Yu mean?
What did she mean by he can’t teach her?
Then, Feng Junhao seemed to understand something and quickly added, “Indeed, I can’t do anything for those with poor aptitude. It’s good that you know yourself.”
This time, Feng Wenshu did not interrupt him and made no move to mediate.
Jiang Yu felt a little bored.
If Feng Junhao wants to misunderstand her when she says he can’t teach her anything, what’s she to do about it?
She would just end up exchanging retort after retort with this person till the end of time. It was too troublesome.
It would be better to let the future teach this arrogant person a lesson instead.
She said slowly, “Since that is what you believe, let’s just leave it at that.”
Feng Junhao too felt like he had hit a wall
He felt like he could not stand to be there a moment longer.
Feng Junhao turned his head to look at Feng Wenshu and urged him to leave quickly using his eyes.
Feng Wenshu took a deep breath. He really did not want to talk nonsense with Jiang Yu anymore. He said, “Since Miss Jiang is here to accompany Linbai, I won’t disturb you. Carry on as you were.”
Jiang Yu: “Oh, goodbye.”
Feng Wenshu: “...”
If he continued to stay, Jiang Yu might just anger him to death.
A little girl like her, who did not possess any manners, could only hope to become the guest of the blind Feng Linbai.
Feng Wenshu turned around and left with Feng Junhao.
Before he left, Feng Junhao glanced at Jiang Yu. He could not understand why such a person would appear next to Feng Linbai.
What he couldn’t figure out was why his father would bring him over to take a look when he found out that Jiang Yu had come to the house.
What was there to see?
Moreover, his father had even said that he wanted him to tutor Jiang Yu in her studies.
What joke was he trying to pull?
His time was precious. There were so many people who wanted him to help them, but he wasn’t willing to. Why would he waste his time on Jiang Yu?
After Feng Junhao and Feng Wenshu returned to their room and were sure that no one else could hear them, Feng Junhao couldn’t help but ask, “Dad, what were you trying to pull?”
“To test this newly-found young miss of the Jiang family and understand her character, and to see if there’s any need to befriend her. After what I saw, I’m a little disappointed.”
Feng Junhao said in puzzlement, “Dad, why would you want to befriend her? The Jiang family is far inferior to us.”
“That is merely the current situation. The Jiang family still has potential.”
Feng Wenshu explained, “Feng Linbai just returned to the Feng family and his foothold here is not yet stable. He must find other allies. In fact, the Jiang family is a good choice.”
“Although Father Jiang has passed away, Jiang Chenglang has been managing the family business well. Moreover, the Jiang family doesn’t have such complex family relations.”
