Chapter 1286 - 1286: The Power of Love

Xiao Feng and Du Qingyue led Jia Luo to the confinement room... ahem, the study room in Zhao Guo'an's house.

However, Du Qingyue didn't enter; only Xiao Feng and Jia Luo went inside.

Du Zhixiang, with his hands tied behind the chair, glared angrily at Xiao Feng upon seeing him, feeling the urge to curse.

He was clear about one thing: due to Du Qingyue's relation, Xiao Feng wouldn't really go to extremes against him.

Still, he didn't dare to speak those words aloud.

The reason is simple, although he wouldn't go to extremes, making him suffer was something Xiao Feng could definitely do.

"You should leave first; I'll handle the rest," Jia Luo said softly.

Xiao Feng nodded, "Then I'll leave it to you."

With that, he walked out of the room.

Seeing Du Qingyue's somewhat serious expression, Xiao Feng smiled, "Are you worried about whether Jia Luo can succeed?"

"No," Du Qingyue shook her head and denied, "Actually, after so many years, I've already gotten used to it. Whether he changes or not doesn't matter much to me.

If he does succeed, I might actually feel a bit uncomfortable."

Xiao Feng chuckled lightly, "If it really doesn't matter as much as you say, you shouldn't have this expression right now.

Of course, I know you can accept the outcome, whatever it may be, but caring is inevitable, which is perfectly normal.

On another note, you're stronger than me. I don't even know what my parents look like."

Du Qingyue frowned slightly. Despite Xiao Feng's light tone, the last sentence left her feeling a bit uneasy.

After a moment, she reached out, held Xiao Feng's hand, her eyes clear as a stream, saying nothing yet seemingly conveying so much.

Xiao Feng smiled, wanting to crack a few jokes to lighten the mood, but felt it somewhat inappropriate in such an atmosphere.

The two stood outside the door, waiting for Jia Luo to give a result.

About forty minutes later, the study door opened, Jia Luo came out, his expression neither ugly nor pleasant.

"How did it go?" Xiao Feng asked.

Jia Luo stated directly, "I can't help much, because the formation of a person's character is inseparable from their growth environment, education level, and other factors.

Generally speaking, without major upheavals, it's challenging to change anything.

Unless you forcibly reverse someone's character through hypnosis, but besides questioning its stability, you'd likely find it hard to accept."

Xiao Feng and Du Qingyue nodded slowly; if someone suddenly became a completely unfamiliar person, it would indeed be hard to accept.

Take the example of Xue Nuofu, who had a recent personality shift. Although dramatic, it's still within an acceptable range.

For instance, Boss Xue still loves beauty and skincare, maintaining an obsession with facial masks that defies common understanding!

And what Jia Luo mentioned about hypnosis is roughly similar to the divorce trend between the Du Family and the Bai Family where everyone became incomprehensible.

Du Qingyue tried to imagine Du Zhixiang treating her with utmost care and warmth, and immediately got goosebumps.

"So you're saying this matter is basically unsolvable?" Xiao Feng finally confirmed.

Jia Luo pondered for a moment, then replied, "Nothing is absolute in the world. Besides the hypnosis I mentioned, there's still some hope.

I can guide with words along with your coordination, but this method takes quite some time, at least three to five months to see results."

"Then let's try your method..."

"Forget it!"

Xiao Feng and Du Qingyue almost spoke simultaneously, each with a completely different answer.

"Let things be as they are; forcibly changing might make things worse," Du Qingyue said calmly.

Xiao Feng frowned, "Trying doesn't hurt; what if it works?"

Jia Luo lowered his eyes, hesitated for a moment, then said, "In fact, psychological counseling can only soothe and guide; it can't change what's intrinsic.

Otherwise, a psychologist would be almighty!"

Xiao Feng nodded gently, "Thanks for making the trip; send me your payment code, and I'll transfer the money to you."

"No need," Jia Luo smiled, "Mr. Xue treated me to dinner and a movie; helping his friend with a small favor is only right.

It's just a shame I couldn't bring a result that satisfies you."

Du Qingyue was about to say something polite, but Xiao Feng interrupted by asking, "Do you and old Xue have a chance?"

Jia Luo wasn't surprised at all, seeming to expect Xiao Feng's question, and replied boldly:

"People might not believe it, but the truth is I still don't know what kind of partner I want.

I do have feelings for Mr. Xue, but not strong enough to want to marry him, perhaps I still have some reservations...

After all, matters of love depend on fate. When the time comes, things will naturally fall into place.

Before then, we're just dating as common boyfriend and girlfriend."

"Did you tell old Xue this?" Xiao Feng pressed further.

Jia Luo shook her head, "I haven't had the chance to say it yet."

"Then you should go tell him," Xiao Feng smiled.

Hui Yi and others were amazed to find that after Xue Peapi went out with Jia Luo, he seemed almost manic, unusually energized, and more demanding.

For a while, everyone was suffering.

Damn, it seems Xue Peapi has become even harsher, almost evolving into Xue Muscle-Twitch!

From afar, Xiao Feng watching the exuberant Xue Nuofu couldn't help but exclaim, "That's the power of love!"

Just as he finished speaking, someone beside him chimed in, "We have it too!"

Xiao Feng turned his head to see Du Qingyue's exquisite face, their eyes met, and everything was left unsaid!

Just then, his phone in his pocket rang.

Taking it out, it was a call from Wang Lubo.

Xiao Feng pressed the answer button, and heard Wang Lubo say, "Brother Feng, where are you now?"

"If you have something to say, say it; otherwise, I'll hang up," Xiao Feng replied seriously, seemingly busy with something.

There's no helping it; to make Bai Huanyu reveal his true colors, the fewer people that know he hasn't left Jiangcheng, the better.

Although Wang Lubo wouldn't leak the secret, if the call were monitored or he accidentally mentioned it during casual conversation, it could lead to trouble.

"Brother Feng, your sister-in-law should've mentioned it to you; Bai Huanyu, that old scoundrel, has another dirty trick. This time, he wants her father to swear fealty to him as a godfather.

I knew about it yesterday but wasn't sure if it was true, so I didn't call you.

But just now, Bai Huanyu actually sent an invitation to my place, so it seems this is really happening."

At this point, Wang Lubo said sternly, "Brother Feng, if you can come back, do it now.

If you're tied up, I'll find a group of fighters right now.

Even if it costs a fortune, we can't let this old scoundrel succeed!"
