Chapter 1460: Dispute (8 Updates)

Of course, it was Ning Aoxue speaking. She vaguely felt that Lin Feng’s trust in Zhu Xiuyue was a bit excessive, and for some reason, Ning Aoxue felt that Lin Feng’s behavior was somewhat improper. After all, not everyone is trustworthy… Ning Aoxue knew that her words might not be pleasant to hear but felt it necessary to remind Lin Feng, so she couldn’t help but speak up.

“Aoxue, what nonsense are you spouting? Lin Feng has his own style of doing things. How can a girl like you just comment so freely?” Ning Fuxun couldn’t help but reprimand her softly upon hearing Ning Aoxue’s words… As a successful businessman, Ning Fuxun knew that Ning Aoxue’s words were problematic, mainly because her tone was not right. When talking to Lin Feng, how could she use such a lecturing tone?

Not many men would like such a woman… Ning Fuxun was very aware of his eldest daughter’s feelings towards Lin Feng; otherwise, he wouldn’t have specifically brought Ning Aoxue here today to witness this small share transfer ceremony. Ning Fuxun just wanted Ning Aoxue to know that Lin Feng was an excellent man!

“Dad, I’m not wrong…” Ning Aoxue was a stubborn girl. She didn’t catch the hint of advice in Ning Fuxun’s words and instead responded firmly to Ning Fuxun, “His unguarded trust will surely lead to problems one day. Although my words are harsh, they’re for his own good!”

Ning Fuxun paused for a moment, then looked somewhat disappointedly at Ning Aoxue, finally sighing lightly and shaking his head slightly. He realized that Ning Aoxue’s fiery and unyielding nature probably wouldn’t lead to any result with Lin Feng… With Ning Aoxue’s character, likely only a gentle man could withstand her, but could such a man catch Ning Aoxue’s eye?

Lin Feng unexpectedly raised his head, seriously gazing at Ning Aoxue, his eyes somewhat cold, then he spoke indifferently, “Since you’ve raised the question, let me explain it to you. Maybe you’re right; in my life, I probably will encounter one or two people who betray me due to my naive trust, even making me regret it. I will indeed feel like a failure because of them! However, their existence won’t affect my trust in those brothers and friends who are truly trustworthy. In life, you can’t let one mistake ruin everything; that’s my principle in life! Anything else you want to say, Ning Aoxue?”

Ning Aoxue was a little dumbfounded. She really hadn’t expected Lin Feng to talk to her so coldly and earnestly… Previously, Ning Aoxue always found Lin Feng’s unserious demeanor annoying, especially his boastful moments that made her want to punch him. But now, Ning Aoxue discovered that the serious Lin Feng was so intimidating and distant, giving her a stark feeling of unfamiliarity!

Ning Fuxun, too, looked a bit surprised at Lin Feng. He didn’t know about the matters between Lin Feng and Ling Yun and was somewhat unable to understand why Lin Feng suddenly got angry… However, as an experienced hand, Ning Fuxun quickly realized that Ning Aoxue probably touched upon past memories Lin Feng didn’t wish to recall.

“Aoxue, what’s wrong with you, girl? Hurry up and apologize to Lin Feng…” Ning Fuxun reminded Ning Aoxue.

Apologize?! Ning Aoxue looked at her father in shock, doubting if she heard it wrong at first. But seeing the serious expression of Ning Fuxun, Ning Aoxue knew he was serious… However, Ning Aoxue was very unsatisfied inside. If she wasn’t wrong, why should she apologize?!

“I won’t apologize!” Ning Aoxue looked seriously at Ning Fuxun, saying in a deep voice, “If you think I’m wrong, please convince me with evidence!”

Ning Fuxun’s face stiffened, and now he really had no way with this precious daughter… Feeling some inexplicable emotion internally, indeed, this stubborn girl, having such a personality.

Lin Feng glanced at Ning Aoxue with an expression of both smile and seriousness. His impulsive moment just flashed past, and now calm, he found Ning Aoxue rather adorable. After all, everyone has their own persistence, and Lin Feng wouldn’t forcibly require Ning Aoxue to accept his thoughts.

“Mr. Ning, you’re overthinking. I’m fine! Mentioning apology and all seems quite pretentious.” Lin Feng smiled slightly at Ning Fuxun, saying offhandedly.

Ning Fuxun glanced at Lin Feng, then at Ning Aoxue, shaking his head silently once more.

“Lin Feng, I’m going back to the company now. Do you want to take a walk with me?” Ning Fuxun suddenly proposed, clearly wanting to talk alone with Lin Feng.

Lin Feng was slightly taken aback, then nodded, “Of course, no problem.”

…

“Lin Feng, today’s matter was my fault. I didn’t expect my daughter to be so stubborn… Bringing her here really disrupted your mood.” In the parking lot of the Longfeng Martial Hall, Ning Fuxun said to Lin Feng apologetically.

“Brother Ning, what are you saying…” Lin Feng lighting up a cigarette, responded casually, “How could I not know your daughter’s personality? She couldn’t infuriate me that easily…”

Ning Fuxun showed a rueful smile on his face, internally acknowledging it was true. Lin Feng and that girl Aoxue had been living together for over half a year, and after such a long time of interaction, they must have understood each other very well. Since there’s no sign of any interest from either side until now, naturally, there’s no possibility.

Thinking of this, Ning Fuxun decided not to mention Ning Aoxue anymore. He glanced at Longfeng Martial Hall, saying with some emotion, “Honestly, Lin Feng, I kind of admire you. Just over three months ago, when Longfeng Martial Hall opened, I really couldn’t have imagined you’d become the prospective Sect Leader of Hong Sect in such a short time. Sometimes, I really doubt you — are you really only twenty years old? How could everything go so smoothly…”

In Ning Fuxun’s mind, for Lin Feng to become Sect Leader, he must have undergone a tremendously difficult struggle. To be blunt, Bai Yuanshan’s retirement was probably orchestrated by Lin Feng… Such conspiracy-laced thoughts are normal, because becoming the leader of gangs like Hong Sect or Qingzi Sect involves battles and fights!

Even Lin Feng himself, looking back, finds his journey from joining Hong Sect to becoming the prospective Sect Leader too smooth.

“I don’t know how to explain it; probably my luck was really good!” Lin Feng said with a wry smile, then suddenly thought of Xu Jing… suddenly thinking of a possibility, isn’t this the conspiracy of Old Man Xu wanting to marry off his granddaughter?!

If so, it’s indeed terrifying, Lin Feng didn’t dare think further into it.

“Good luck?” Ning Fuxun chuckled, “Lin Feng, thinking like that is wrong. If it’s only good luck without enough capability, only trouble will come, not achievement!”
