The Eternal Phoenix Queen

Eps. 30: Feng Ling Provocation Seasoning

“Grandfather, have you not heard any strange rumors lately?” asked Feng Ling to Feng Zheng.

“What rumors?”

“Say, a cousin has an affair with President Shen. That is why he insisted on staying at the home of President Shen.”

Feng Zheng placed the newspaper he read on the table. Rumors are just rumors. Feng Zheng was not a lowly person who liked to listen to gossip. The old grandfather looked at his second grandson sharply, like he was about to eat him alive. He asked what else this one female fox would do.

Feng Zheng knew very well how the nature of his second grandson was. Besides being spoiled and wasteful, Feng Ling also liked to be envious. In his eyes, Feng Ling was only a non-special grandson, giving him wealth and access to freedom all along was more than enough. Feng Ling should have known herself, knew where she was.

“Since when did the Feng Family like to listen to gossip?” Feng Zheng replied to Feng Ling's statement with a question. The young lady was a bit surprised.

“Grandfather, I just don't want the name of the brother smeared and our family tainted.”

“Talking about a good name, why don't you teach your lover not to be troublemakers? I see the more days he's getting outrageous.”

Feng Ling's face flushed red. The news of his quarrel with Xiang Sun had already reached Feng Zheng's ears a few days ago. His grandfather must have known that the root of the quarrel was because of Xiang Sun, who sent out many gifts and littered the lobby of the Lingjing building. Based on his grandfather's temperament, Feng Ling would probably be blamed for that event.

Feng Zheng stared coldly at his grandson. At any time, he would never believe the rumors. For him, the rumors circulating are just a news that is deliberately broadcast to damage someone's image. People who spread and who believe in it are people who lack work.

The rumors about Feng Shang were not that he did not know. The rumor that spread faster than the wind had already reached his ears before Feng Ling told him today. Feng Zheng could not believe it, because all this time his favorite grandson had never done anything.

Although Feng Shang had never said the reason why he wanted to stay in Shen Yi's house, Feng Zheng believed that his grandson had no special relationship. Perhaps, his grandson felt comfortable living there because it was the house that he lived in for the first time since returning from abroad. It could be that Feng Shang was feeling uncomfortable with the main house of the Feng Family, so he chose to stay in someone else's house.

“Grandfather, A-Sun is just in a daze. She was blinded by the beauty of her elder cousin until she did so,” martial Feng Ling. Feng Zheng laughed blandly.

“Your jerk and shameless love! You blame your brother?”

Feng Zheng started to be provoked with emotion. From the beginning, he had been lacking in agreement with Feng Ling and Xiang Sun's relationship. As an old man who had already sensed the acid and salt of life, Feng Zheng had his own views. In his eyes, Xiang Sun was not a good man. The man only wanted to make use of Feng Ling, using her to get close to Lingjing.

If it was true that the man loved his granddaughter, it would be impossible to circulate such unpleasant news, which had always been a hot topic everywhere. Regarding Xiang Sun who is greedy for power, about Xiang Sun who likes to scold and quarrel with Feng Ling, also about Xiang Sun who likes to play women.

If it was true that the man loved Feng Ling, then his disgusting deed would never have been done. Feng Zheng hated the unfaithful bastard. In his entire life, he would never serve or let a jerk into his family.

The cooperation contract of the day was also signed due to force. At that moment Feng Zheng was in a hurry looking for Feng Shang, until he signed it with the origin. Thank goodness Feng Shang was found. Feng Zheng found a way when his favorite grandson wanted Lingjing to cooperate with Xize, so Feng Zheng could cancel the cooperation contract with Xiang.

“If you still think of me as your grandfather, end your relationship with Xiang Sun and go abroad! Learn properly until you are no longer stupid!” exclaimed Feng Zheng very firmly.

“He's a jerk! But, even though he likes big brother, I will never let him get his wish! I'll never let go of him!”

Feng Ling had already vowed not to let go of Xiang Sun at any moment. Even if he died, he would bring the bastard buried with him. Feng Ling's hatred was already enormous, turning into an extremely powerful obsession. That hatred made Feng Ling want to ensnare Xiang Sun for life, not going to let him live in peace.

“See you're blind! Ling’er, your obsession is really terrible!”

Feng Zheng was not inexhaustible to his second grandson. Such great hatred should have already been able to make him release the jerk, then recuperate. Yet Feng Ling was extremely unwilling to take it off. Feng Zheng really did not understand the thoughts of his second grandson.

One might say that Feng Zheng was indeed favoritism. He does not deny it. But, in this world, no one knew that his heart was not. Feng Zheng also loved Feng Ling, it was just that the way was different. If he showed he was affectionate towards Feng Shang blatantly, then Feng Zheng would do the opposite to Feng Ling.

However, his second grandson never thought at all. Twenty years of his life were spent hating and cultivating envy in his own cousin sister. Feng Zheng grew even more annoyed, so he often scolded Feng Ling and the rest of his family. It went on for years.

If he was cruel, he had long since chased Feng Ling and his parents out of this house. The wealth they have is enough to start their own business and build their own home. Feng Zheng could have focused on raising and educating a Feng Shang. But he didn't do all that.

“What if I have an obsession? You gave everything to a cousin sister, but you even forbid me from having my own obsession? Grandpa, you really are a cruel old man!” Feng Ling raised her tone.

His intentions of wanting to take Feng Shang down through rumors turned around to make him emotional. Feng Ling was unable to contain her angry feelings whenever her grandfather tried to protect Feng Shang and told her to end the relationship with Xiang Sun. At any moment, he would never give up.

The stubborn and fierce temperament of his grandfather was already commonplace he faced. Feng Ling tried to catch her breath, calming her emotions that had already reached the crown. At a time like this, he should not blow up his emotions until he forgets his original purpose.

“Grandfather, you love your cousin too much until you close your eyes and ears. Grandpa doesn't even know what you're doing out there. What if one day he embarrasses the Feng Family?”

Feng Ling paused her words for a moment, took a breath then continued.

“Will grandfather wait for him to destroy the reputation of the Feng Family, shred the honor of the Feng Family, lower his dignity and make the Feng Family a laughingstock in the new Cheng City will act? Rumors out there have already spread so widely, do you think it will not affect the reputation of the Feng Family?” connect Feng Ling.

Feng Zheng rubbed his face violently. His second grandson insisted on provoking him with the threat of family honor. Though, Feng Zheng was not a person who thought and acted recklessly. His grandson did not know that he already knew the meaning of those words, what his purpose was also Feng Zheng already knew.

A woman's heart can be so evil. Supposedly, Feng Ling was protecting each other with Feng Shang, instead of trying to take him down in this cheap manner. The destruction of large families in this city is mostly due to misunderstandings and acts of mutual drop between brothers. Feng Ling should have learned from the incident.

Feng Shang alone had never done anything to Feng Ling. His favorite grandson lives as he wants to live, does his job and does not interfere in the affairs of others. But, his brother was busy looking for a way to bring him down.

“Enough! Ling’er, are you not aware that the reputation of the Feng Family has long been tarnished because of you?”

“What does grandpa mean?”

“With your crazy relationship with Xiang Sun as well as the various quarrels and commotion you created out there, you think that did not make the reputation of the Feng Family fall? I see this family will be destroyed in your hands soon!”

Feng Zheng's words instantly made Feng Ling speechless. His words were like an arrow

piercing his heart, dropping it into the dark deepest abyss. Feng Ling did not accept, what she had done all this time had absolutely nothing to do with her family. Her love affair with the conflict-ridden Xiang Sun was her own business.

“You blame me?”

Feng Zheng had no intention of serving his second grandson anymore. The emotions he was holding back were already about to explode. Feng Zheng left Feng Ling without saying anything, letting his second grandson yell at her angrily accompanied by an expletive.

“Feng Ling, I hope you quickly repent!” murmured Feng Zheng.
