Chapter 1454: Successors in Place!
At this moment, Baili Long also walked out from inside!
As soon as he stepped outside, he saw his wife holding their daughter, who was sitting on the ground crying bitterly, and his expression immediately turned ashen!
With furious eyes, he fixed his gaze on Jiang Feng and coldly asked, "Jiang Feng, what do you mean by this?"
Ever since the time he privately approved of his daughter trying to seduce Jiang Feng, he had placed great expectations on her.
Unexpectedly, his daughter failed, and when she returned, she cursed Jiang Feng as worthless. Since then, he harbored a great resentment toward Jiang Feng!
Now, seeing Jiang Feng openly bullying his daughter only fanned his flames of anger, and he was filled with rage!
Jiang Feng glanced at the faces of Baili Long and Xu Guifang. No wonder they say, like parent, like child.
It seems even the illustrious Baili Family has its share of misfortunes.
"What do I mean? Ask your daughter," Jiang Feng replied calmly.
"Wah!! Dad, Mom! This guy dares to act like a villain while complaining! Brother Rong and I came out in good spirits, greeted him, yet he showed no respect to Brother Rong and even hit him. I argued with him, and then he hurt me as well. Look at my fingers..."
Feigning grievance, Baili Li held her swollen fingers up to her mother’s face.
Xu Guifang was about to explode!
To ordinary people, slightly swollen fingers might not seem like a big deal, but Xu Guifang always considered her daughter precious like a golden branch, heartbroken even over a minor scratch. This certainly crossed her bottom line!
"Jiang Feng, you’re going too far, aren’t you? Just because the Old Man favors you, you don’t regard our family at all?! Don’t forget, you’re ultimately just an outsider. Even if you marry Baili Xiyue, you’ll only be an in-law with a different surname, miles apart from my husband and daughter. What gives you the right to lay a hand on my daughter?"
Xu Guifang got up from the ground, pointing her finger at Jiang Feng’s nose.
Jiang Feng laughed, truly not expecting to encounter such a disgusting affair at the Baili Family!
Had he known it was so vexing, he wouldn’t have bothered coming!
"I can’t be bothered with a shrew like you, move aside!"
Jiang Feng knew no matter what he said, Xu Guifang would side with her daughter, so he couldn’t be bothered to explain or waste words on this bitter woman.
"How dare you call me a shrew? You’re calling me a shrew?!!" Xu Guifang widened her eyes, pointing incredulously at herself.
Jiang Feng frowned and walked past her directly inside.
"Stop right there!!" Xu Guifang went frantic, stepping forward and grabbing Jiang Feng’s arm: "Explain yourself, who’s the shrew?"
At least she’s a daughter-in-law of the Baili Family and a prospective Lady of the house. In the Provincial City circle, she’s like a Princess, of indisputable nobility.
But now, Jiang Feng actually called her a shrew, something utterly intolerable!
"Jiang Feng, you are unbelievably arrogant!"
Baili Long also stepped forward: "I admit you have done favors for the Baili Family, but if you think your past contributions allow you to disregard our main family members, you are too naive! The Baili Family is not for you to act recklessly!"
"Nor is it for you to act recklessly!"
Just as Baili Long finished speaking harshly, a cold voice suddenly came from inside the main gate.
Everyone turned around, only to see Baili Xi and Bai Touying striding out with grim expressions.
"Dad..." Baili Long’s heart sank, and his expression turned extremely unpleasant.
Baili Xi completely ignored him, smiling warmly as he approached Jiang Feng: "You brat, you’re already at the doorstep, why not come in?"
Jiang Feng smiled faintly: "I wanted to come in, but your household’s rules are too many, preventing me from entering."
Upon hearing this, Baili Xi finally cast a cold gaze upon Baili Long’s family trio.
"Dad! Please don’t listen to this guy turning the facts upside down. He obviously hit someone. Look at how he injured Xiao Li’s fingers, and he also attacked Chai Rong. Chai Rong is an honored guest from afar, and is dating our Xiao Li. By hitting him, the Chai Family won’t let this slide, right?" Xu Guifang hurriedly told her father-in-law.
"Shut up!" Baili Xi’s face fell: "Since when does a woman speak for the Baili Family?"
"I..." Xu Guifang was suddenly at a loss for words, not daring to speak further, but turned only to glare venomously at Jiang Feng.
Baili Li, seeing her grandfather come out, didn’t dare continue her antics, only sobbing as if she were greatly wronged.
"Dad! You can’t keep favoring this kid!"
Baili Long felt that if he didn’t speak up, as the second son, he would completely lose face in the Baili Family, and wouldn’t be taken seriously by anyone in the future!
"Since this guy stepped into our Baili Family, although he helped us through a few crises, those troubles were all his creation! He essentially cleaned up after himself, and now that he’s familiar, he’s disregarding the Baili Family, disregarding us direct descendants..."
"Enough!"
Baili Xi’s face darkened, and his anger only grew!
He was truly frustrated, wondering how he ended up with such a useless son?
The Baili Family respects Jiang Feng not just because he helped save the day.
It’s because Jiang Feng himself is unfathomable, making both him and Bai Touying feel immeasurable depths!
Moreover, Jiang Feng is someone who could easily wipe out families in the Capital City. To regional families like theirs, he is not someone to be reckoned with, and how could his foolish son not see this?!
"I’ve always said you should learn to think with your head, so why are you so foolish!" Baili Xi said coldly: "This is your final warning, show Xiao Feng respect from now on. He is the Supreme VIP of the Baili Family, and disrespecting him, even if you are my son, I will show no mercy!"
"Dad! Will you really side with an outsider?" Baili Long was anxious, as the Old Master wasn’t giving him even a stepping stone!
"I won’t repeat myself," Baili Xi said decisively.
Baili Long was almost mad with rage, gritting his teeth, glaring at Jiang Feng, wishing to tear him to pieces!
Bai Touying, seeing this scene, felt helpless.
This is an internal family matter concerning the Old Master’s son, and he couldn’t intervene.
But these offspring were truly foolish. If one day the Old Master passes, and the family falls into such hands, it’s destined to decline!
With this in mind, he suddenly recalled the possibility the Old Master mentioned.
If, one day, Jiang Feng truly becomes a grandson in-law of the Baili Family, then the Baili Family might indeed consider handing over the vast family business to him and Baili Xiyue!
This way, the family would have successors, furthering its rise and glory in the future!
