After Tang Feng finished speaking, he put down his chopsticks, immediately took out a cigarette from his pocket, lit it and took a deep breath, then leaned back in his chair. It was obvious from his look that he no longer wanted to talk more about this topic.
Zhuge Yu saw it, so he didn't ask again. After living a long time, he certainly knew that there are some things that just need to be pointed out, but it would be meaningless to explain them thoroughly.
But after thinking about it, he still spoke: "Since you just mentioned the gentleman, there is a saying that you must have heard, that is, what a gentleman does and what he does not do?"
Tang Feng nodded. He had naturally heard this sentence before and understood what Old Man Zhuge meant. The so-called gentleman should do something, which probably means that once he makes a promise to Zhuge Furong, he should take responsibility.
In fact, Tang Feng didn't think so. It was precisely because he kept his promise and valued friendship that he refused to say this easily.
Zhuge Yu nodded with satisfaction, then shook his head and sighed: "Actually, Tang Feng, don't blame the old man for talking too much. I am also helpless. It is really Furong's life experience..."
At this point, he suddenly choked up and couldn't speak any more.
Zhuge Furong's eyes suddenly turned red, and she got up and left the table on the pretext of getting a new pair of chopsticks.
Tang Feng was already very curious, so he immediately asked: "Old man, what did you just say about Furong's life experience?"
Zhuge Yu said: "You have been getting along with Furong for a while. You probably haven't heard her talk about her parents, right?"
Tang Feng nodded slightly, but did not speak again, waiting for the other party to continue.
Zhuge Yu quickly said: "Actually, Furong's parents died in a plane crash twenty years ago. It's all my fault. If I hadn't been too arbitrary back then, the two of them wouldn't have been able to go.
If you elope to an island country, you will naturally not encounter an air crash."
When he said this, he kept shaking his head, his face full of annoyance and regret.
Zhuge Furong happened to come out of it and said with a smile: "Grandpa, these are all things in the past, why do you need to mention them."
Zhuge Yu waved his hand: "I have kept these things in my heart for more than 20 years. It is rare that Tang Feng is here today."
Tang Feng chuckled lightly, shook the wine glass in his hand and said, "They say that if there is wine, there will be stories. Now that we have wine, all we need is your story, old man."
Zhuge Yu nodded and continued...
It took three glasses of wine before Tang Feng fully understood the ins and outs of the matter.
It turns out that twenty years ago, Zhuge Furong's father, Zhuge Hao, fell in love with a woman from the imperial capital, and it happened that the woman also loved Zhuge Hao.
The two fell in love and soon fell in love and unexpectedly became pregnant with Zhuge Furong.
Zhuge Yu was furious, but what was even worse was that Zhuge Furong's mother Ye Qingrou came from a wealthy and aloof family in the imperial capital.
The Ye family was furious and wanted to kill Zhuge Hao to vent his anger, but Ye Qingrou fought with her life to protect him. The Ye family had no choice but to compromise, but proposed that if the two got married, Zhuge Hao must marry into the Ye family.
The Zhuge family was pure, so the old man could not agree. At the same time, he demanded that Zhuge Hao must sever ties with Ye Qingrou.
Zhuge Hao was in a dilemma and had no choice but to elope, but unfortunately he encountered a plane crash.
When Zhuge Yu finished speaking, he was in tears and couldn't help but sigh: "Back then, if I had agreed to Hao'er's marriage, he would not have suffered a plane crash."
"If Hao'er hadn't died, the Zhuge family would have been in such a state of decline. They would have been forced into the palace and the group would have been almost destroyed."
Tang Feng was also sighing. He could not have imagined that this beautiful woman with a strong and cold appearance would have such a pitiful life experience.
It took Zhuge Yu a while to calm down, and he waved his hand and said, "Actually, Tang Feng, after saying so much, the last thing I want to tell you is that the Ye family first met Furong last year and wanted to make an engagement for her."
Tang Feng frowned and asked: "The Ye family made an engagement for Furong? This is unavoidable..."
Zhuge Yu nodded and said with a wry smile: "The Ye family is so domineering, it was the same back then, and it is still the same now, but the other party is a wealthy family in the imperial capital, and its power is transcendent, so it is helpless."
Tang Feng said: "If the prediction is correct, the person who made the contract with the Ye family is probably a certain transcendent family in the imperial capital."
Zhuge Yu nodded and then sighed: "I have said so much tonight. Actually, I just want you to understand that I am no longer as stubborn as I used to be. No matter how the Ye family puts pressure, I will never do it."
Compromise, everything depends on Furong's wishes."
"My only wish now is that my granddaughter can be happy, so Tang Feng, what to do next depends on your choice."
After speaking, he patted Tang Feng on the shoulder, turned around and walked towards the living room.
Tang Feng smiled and said nothing, and drank all the wine in the cup.
What Old Man Zhuge said so much was just to tell him that once he really got together with Furong, he would probably have to face pressure from the Ye family in the imperial capital.
And he has to face the super wealthy family in the imperial capital who wants to get engaged to Zhuge Furong.
Tang Feng also knew something about these super wealthy families in the imperial capital. In the imperial capital, at the feet of the emperor, there could be called wealthy families, and their power was extraordinary.
Every wealthy family in the imperial capital has terrifying energy behind it, which is by no means comparable to the so-called aristocratic families in Jiangning and Jiangbei.
Of course, Tang Feng is not an ordinary person. If he really goes to that step, he, the Dragon Assassin King, has nothing to fear!
Thinking of this, Tang Feng suddenly realized that Zhuge Furong had quietly walked outside to the yard at some point, looked up at the full moon in the sky, and looked indescribably sad.
Tang Feng shook his head, lit a cigarette, then walked out, walked behind her, and said softly: "I'm sorry, because I reminded you of unpleasant past events."
Zhuge Furong chuckled and said: "It doesn't matter, it was all the past twenty years ago, and I have already looked past it."
Tang Feng said: "Since we have already looked away, why should we be unhappy here?"
Zhuge Furong shook his head and said, "I'm not in a good mood, but it's not because of this incident."
Tang Feng immediately asked: "So there is something else?"
Zhuge Furong sighed and continued: "You should still remember the agreement signed with the Wang family a while ago? Yesterday, on the way back, the two large ships borrowed from the Wang family suddenly leaked heavily from the bottom of the ship, along with the cargo.
It sank to the bottom of the sea, and more than a dozen workers died as a result."
Tang Feng frowned: "It's so good, why did it suddenly sink?"
"The specific reason has not yet been identified, but the Wang family is using this incident to put great pressure on Wujiang to make compensation. Until now, the group is still in chaos."
When Zhuge Furong said this, she suddenly turned to look at Tang Feng and said, "Wang Teng made an appointment with me for negotiation at nine o'clock tonight. How about handsome Tang, would you like to come with me?"
Tang Feng smiled, shrugged and said, "Let me just say, it's definitely not that simple to ask me to come to dinner for no reason."
Zhuge Furong also smiled and said: "Of course, you should know that there is no free dinner in the world."
