Chapter 73.1 Lu Fei, I’m Still Feeling Suffocated!

At this moment, Lu Fei stepped forward and called out to Jiang Wenying, who was about to go and make tea.

“Hold on, is there no one left in the Jiang family that my wife has to make tea?”

Upon hearing Lu Fei’s words, Jiang Heng was initially taken aback, but then his face darkened slightly.

Since when did a lackey like you have the audacity to speak like this?

Can’t you see that I’m talking to Madam Liu from the Mu family?

Why are you interrupting and making derogatory remarks about our Jiang family?

Upon hearing Lu Fei’s words, Jiang Wenying paused in her steps and turned her head, her eyes shining with surprise as she looked at Lu Fei.

Jiang Heng felt that his dignity had been trampled upon by Lu Fei’s words, and his face immediately turned grim as he said, “Lu Fei, you better understand your own identity. As the eldest son of the Jiang family, it’s none of your business how I treat my sister!”

Upon hearing these words, Jiang Wenying’s face turned slightly cold. Was she just seen as someone who could be ordered around at any time by the Jiang family? 

Was her existence merely that of a disposable tool?

On the other hand, Lu Fei’s expression became even more grim upon hearing Jiang Heng’s words. 

Although he and Jiang Wenying were in a contractual marriage, in the eyes of outsiders, she was his wife. 

If even his own wife was being mistreated, how could he hide in the background?

Lu Fei stepped forward, grabbing Jiang Wenying’s hand and staring at Jiang Heng as he declared, “She is my wife!”

In that moment, Lu Fei exuded an aura of dominance, giving Jiang Wenying a strong sense of security deep within her heart.

Unnoticed by others, Liu Mengxiang’s gaze also continuously shifted toward Lu Fei. She had seen this side of him before, but only on the screen. Now, she was witnessing it firsthand.

The dominance emanating from Lu Fei was like sweet poison, captivating and irresistible, yet also trapping one in its clutches, unable to escape.

Suddenly,

unnoticed by anyone else,

Lu Mengxiang’s initially dazed expression seemed to have triggered something in her mind.

In an instant, her delicate body trembled.

A flush of crimson quickly spread across Liu Mengxiang’s enchanting cheeks!

Meanwhile, Jiang Heng didn’t want to continue arguing with Lu Fei any further.

In his eyes, it was a demeaning act.

As the eldest son of the Jiang family, engaging in such a dispute with a mere servant of the Mu family would make him look like one of the Jiang family’s henchmen.

With a slightly stern expression, Jiang Heng looked at Jiang Wenying, exerting the authority of an older brother, and his tone became slightly more forceful.

“Don’t waste any more time, go and make tea, then cut some fruits for the guests, entertain them!” Jiang Heng said, even more, audacious this time, and then he looked at Lu Fei with a playful expression.

It was as if he was saying, Even if you’re unhappy, what can you do about it? 

If I tell her to make tea, she has to make it!

However, before long, it was Jiang Heng’s turn to have an unpleasant expression on his face.

Jiang Wenying stood still, seemingly not hearing what he said, ignoring his words.

“Jiang Wenying, as a member of the Jiang family, you should know better than to disregard the rules. Have you forgotten all the etiquette you were taught since childhood?” 

Jiang Heng’s tone turned cold, almost openly stating that she lacked manners.

Upon hearing this, Lu Fei’s expression slightly darkened, and he reprimanded, “Jiang Heng, let me remind you again, you have no right to boss Wenying around!”

Jiang Heng’s face showed a slight momentary confusion as if he couldn’t believe what he just heard.

How dare a lowly servant address him so casually in front of him?

Even if you’ve climbed up the social ladder and married Jiang Wenying, it doesn’t give you, a mere servant, the right to speak so boldly in front of me!

Before Jiang Heng could respond, one of the supposedly clever bodyguards standing around him suddenly stepped forward.

We’re all servants here, who gave you the right to address the young master directly?

As long as I do my job well, the young master will surely value me!

Although Lu Fei married into the Jiang family, the elders of the Jiang family didn’t truly value him.

Even though Lu Fei was considered the husband of the Jiang family in name, his status was still far below that of the legitimate heirs of the Jiang family.

With this in mind, the bodyguard suddenly made his move, raising his large hand and aiming to slap Lu Fei across the face.

He shouted with a sense of righteousness, “Lu Fei, you have some nerve, how dare you address the young master directly!”

Before Jiang Wenying could intervene, Lu Fei’s loyal follower, Luo Ge, who had been trailing behind him, suddenly made his move.

Taking a step forward, just as the bodyguard thought he could slap Lu Fei, Luo Ge swiftly kicked the bodyguard with tremendous force.

In an instant, the bodyguard involuntarily flew backward, unable to struggle to get up for quite some time.

He knew that his bones must have been broken!

Throughout the entire process, Lu Fei remained calm, not even flinching when the bodyguard was about to strike him.

He seemed extremely confident as if the attack from a mere bodyguard would have no effect on him whatsoever.

As Luo Ge defeated the attacking bodyguard with a single move, several other guards in the vicinity approached with hostile gazes, staring at Luo Ge.

The sudden intervention of the Jiang family’s guards shocked Jiang Wenying.

After all, Lu Fei was her fiancé. How could the guards dare to directly confront and teach him a lesson?

This incident made it clear that she meant nothing in the eyes of the people in the Jiang family.

If Lu Fei couldn’t address Jiang Heng directly, how could Jiang Heng order her, Jiang Wenying, around?

Such treatment only fueled Jiang Wenying’s growing disgust for the Jiang family.

Suddenly, she remembered the words Lu Fei had said to her when they signed the agreement that night.

Acquiring the company, gaining control over the Jiang family…

Although Jiang Wenying found it highly improbable, deep down, she couldn’t help but believe in Lu Fei.

Her guilt towards the Jiang family diminished slightly.

At the same time, Jiang Wenying’s gaze turned toward Lu Fei, who had always remained calm and unaffected by any troubles.

It seemed that nothing was a big deal to him.

Could this man have been in control of everything all along?

In the face of seeing his bodyguard being taken down by someone who seemed inconspicuous, Jiang Heng’s expression turned sour. He wanted to say something.

However, at that moment, Liu Mengxiang stepped forward.

With a slightly cold expression, she glared at Jiang Heng.

Feeling the chilling aura emanating from Liu Mengxiang, Jiang Heng’s anger subsided.

He couldn’t lay a hand on Lu Fei now. Although Lu Fei was just a lackey of the Mu family, after all, Madam Mu was present.

If he were to act, it would definitely be disrespectful to Madam Mu.

Despite the fact that Liu Mengxiang was only Mu Changye’s mistress and didn’t even have an official title, she was still the only mistress whom Mu Changye had always maintained a relationship with.

If Liu Mengxiang became unhappy with the Jiang family and ran back to whisper in Mu Changye’s ear, the consequences would be significant.

Liu Mengxiang’s voice sounded displeased as she spoke to Jiang Heng,

“Jiang Heng, what do you mean? Lu Fei is a member of my Mu family.”

“He is not just some lackey as you claim. Changye holds Lu Fei in high regard!”

“Otherwise, he wouldn’t have personally arranged for Jiang Wenying of your Jiang family to marry Lu Fei.”

With her arms crossed, Liu Mengxiang’s tone exuded a mixture of disdain and admiration.

“Now that it has come to this, I believe your intelligent minds should be able to understand just how important Lu Fei is in the eyes of the Mu family!”

As she finished speaking, Jiang Heng’s expression darkened, and he stared at Liu Mengxiang.

Upon hearing Liu Mengxiang’s words, Jiang Heng suddenly realized something and clenched his teeth.

Waving his hand to dismiss the surrounding bodyguards, his expression became uncertain.

However, in the end, Jiang Heng put on an ugly smile and said,

“Madam Liu, I apologize for my rudeness.”

“Wenying, in that case, you and Lu Fei can sit first. Let the subordinates handle these miscellaneous matters!”

Jiang Heng’s tone slowed down, showing a completely different attitude from before.

The person who felt the most profound change in Jiang Heng’s attitude was Jiang Wenying, who was standing next to Lu Fei.

In the past, although Jiang Heng was her elder brother in name, he never treated her like a real sister. 

His attitude towards her had always been unpleasant. Even when they happened to meet, Jiang Heng couldn’t be bothered to greet her.

That’s why she had been unwilling to live in the Jiang family villa for so long.

Lu Fei remained standing in his original position, not sitting down, and directly asked,

“Who in your Jiang family has the final say?”

“Let’s not waste time discussing our marriage with Wenying. Let’s talk about it directly,” Lu Fei spoke up, taking control of the situation.

He had an air of authority, treating himself as the master.

Upon hearing Lu Fei’s words, the surrounding bodyguards, who hadn’t moved far away, also heard them. 

They were all shaken.

What an arrogant lackey!

Even as the bodyguards of the Jiang family, they were aware of Lu Fei’s identity to some extent. 

They knew that he was just a lackey, a subordinate of the Mu family.

Only Lu Fei has the audacity to do such things as a lackey.

Meanwhile, Jiang Heng, who was standing on the side, had a dark expression on his face.

The implication behind Lu Fei’s words was that he didn’t even regard Jiang Heng as worthy of consideration.

What does he mean by “Who in your Jiang family has the final say?”

Is he implying that I am not qualified to discuss matters with him?

Although Jiang Heng wanted to speak up and say that he could make decisions regarding this matter, he couldn’t bring himself to say it.

He could only grit his teeth and say,

“On this matter… I need to discuss it with the family head. Please wait!”

After speaking, Jiang Heng left without looking back.

The entire hall was now only occupied by Lu Fei and the other three. The remaining bodyguards also followed Jiang Heng’s departure and exited the hall.

They were guests, not criminals, so naturally, they wouldn’t be treated like prisoners and kept in the living room.

In fact, Jiang Heng was also afraid that such an action would provoke Liu Mengxiang’s displeasure and lead to more conflicts.

The Jiang family still needed to cooperate with the Mu family, so it was better not to offend them at such a critical moment.

After a short while, Jiang Heng walked out with a middle-aged man with a bald head. 

This man was none other than Jiang Xingde, the head of the Jiang family.

As soon as they entered the living room, Jiang Xingde’s eyes were immediately drawn to the enchanting figure of Liu Mengxiang. 

Beautiful women always had a way of capturing attention no matter the occasion.

Then, Jiang Xingde shifted his gaze toward Lu Fei and Luo Ge.

When he saw Luo Ge, Jiang Xingde’s eyes passed over him without much interest. 

Instead, his attention was fixated on Lu Fei, who had a calm demeanor but exuded an effortless charm.

From the moment Jiang Xingde laid eyes on Lu Fei, he couldn’t help but feel astonished deep down. 

It’s not like he hasn’t seen such a temperament before.

But he had never seen it in a lackey.

It was rare to find someone who could maintain such a carefree and composed demeanor while standing on Jiang family’s territory.

To Jiang Xingde, it felt as if Lu Fei was standing in his own home. 

Casual and indifferent!
