He felt a sense of familiarity with the young man before him.
The next moment, he took out the资料 he held and glanced at it, then looked back at Ye Feng.
He immediately realized that the man before him was the very person in the资料, their target this time!
Cough, cough, cough!
Seeing this, the old man coughed lightly and gave him a meaningful look.
Steward Zheng quickly put away the资料, his angry expression replaced by a smile as he said to Ye Feng, "Yes, I'm sorry, Young..."
Cough, cough, cough!
Hearing his words, the old man coughed again and shot Steward Zheng a glare.
Steward Zheng quickly corrected himself, "I'm sorry, young man! Are you alright!"
The sudden change in attitude and their strange expressions left Ye Feng bewildered, unable to react for a long time.
When he came to his senses, he finally replied, "Oh, I'm fine. Are you two alright? You didn't get hurt anywhere, did you?"
"We're fine, we're fine!" the old man replied, sizing up Ye Feng.
Ye Feng felt a bit embarrassed by the old man's intense gaze.
"Ye Feng, Ye Feng, where are you?"
Just then, Xiao Feifei's voice suddenly rang out.
"Hey, I'm here!"
Hearing Xiao Feifei's voice, Ye Feng ignored the two people in front of him and responded loudly.
The next second, Xiao Feifei rushed out of the Xiao family residence and hugged Ye Feng, sobbing, "Ye Feng, I'm sorry!"
This scene left Ye Feng confused, not knowing what was happening.
"Silly girl, why are you apologizing for no reason!" Ye Feng gently stroked her hair and said.
"Wuwu, the family seems to disagree with us being together!" Xiao Feifei sobbed.
Ye Feng was taken aback by this. After a moment, he asked, "What did you say? They don't agree with us being together? Why not?"
But Xiao Feifei didn't explain immediately. Instead, she said, "Come with me! We can talk as we walk!"
After speaking, Xiao Feifei led Ye Feng towards the interior of the Xiao family residence.
It turned out that the Xiao family's meeting was divided into three parts. The first was about the second and fourth sons of the Xiao family poisoning the old master.
Since they genuinely did not intend to harm Old Master Xiao, the Xiao family merely stripped them of their positions, confiscated their wealth, and punished them with confinement for reflection.
The second item was about the leadership of the Xiao family.
The lack of a designated leader had led to the poisoning incident by the second and fourth sons.
Therefore, the Xiao family meeting decided on the matter of leadership, that is, the position of the Xiao family patriarch.
The person who ascended to the patriarch's position was the third son of the Xiao family, Xiao Qinghai, who was also Xiao Feifei's father.
The reason was simple. Firstly, Xiao Qinghai had brought Ye Feng, who had cured Old Master Xiao's poison. According to the rules, the patriarch position belonged to him.
Secondly, the eldest, Xiao Yueru, was a woman and clearly unsuitable.
Finally, the second son, Xiao Qingshan, and the fourth son, Xiao Qingtian, had poisoned the old master. Although their initial intention was not to harm him, they were no longer qualified for the position.
Therefore, the most suitable person was undoubtedly Xiao Feifei's father, Xiao Qinghai.
In fact, Old Master Xiao had always favored Xiao Qinghai in the past.
However, Xiao Qinghai was not very interested in the position of Xiao family patriarch, which led to the matter being delayed until now.
The third item was Xiao Feifei's marriage!
They had initially been very optimistic about Tang Zhiyang, as they had a childhood engagement and were both from prominent families, making them a perfect match.
However, Xiao Feifei did not like Tang Zhiyang, and Tang Zhiyang had lost to Ye Feng. They had even made a public bet under everyone's watchful eyes.
Therefore, their relationship was doomed.
Even so, the Xiao family did not stop Xiao Feifei from being with Ye Feng.
The reason was simple: Ye Feng had no money, no power, no influence, and no background, making him unworthy of Xiao Feifei.
At least, that was how the people of the Xiao family saw it.
After all, Ye Feng was just a little fisherman.
As the two of them discussed the meeting's contents, they were unaware that the old man and the steward had been following them.
The two of them began to whisper as they walked.
"He looks so much like me when I was young!" the old man said, staring at Ye Feng's back as they walked.
Steward Zheng replied, "Haha! I was thinking of doing a paternity test or something, but I think we can just skip it!"
"That's right. I thought the vast family would end with me, but I didn't expect to have a grandson out there! Truly, heaven blesses the family! Hahaha!"
Ye Feng and Xiao Feifei, chatting ahead, suddenly heard the laughter from behind them and both turned to glance at the two.
When they saw their happy expressions, they couldn't help but look puzzled.
However, Ye Feng assumed these two were from the Xiao family, and Xiao Feifei, seeing them following Ye Feng in, thought they were Ye Feng's friends.
Therefore, neither of them stopped them from following and continued to walk forward.
Seeing that Ye Feng and Xiao Feifei didn't say much, the old man and the steward continued to follow them inside.
"Is this our future granddaughter-in-law? Tsk, tsk, she's quite good! Her looks, her figure, she's got my level from back then!" the old man said, looking at Xiao Feifei with satisfaction.
Steward Zheng beside him nodded, "Indeed, young master has excellent taste! Truly worthy of being our young master!"
At this moment, the old man suddenly remembered something and asked, "By the way, have the Xiao family's background and origins been thoroughly investigated?"
"They have! It's quite a coincidence, the Xiao family has had a long-standing cooperative relationship with our family's Haoxin Group..." the two chatted as they walked.
Soon, they arrived at the Xiao family's assembly hall.
At this time, the assembly hall was filled with people, about twenty to thirty in total.
The Old Madam Xiao sat in the main seat of the grand chair at the front, while Old Master Xiao, having just been detoxified, had not fully recovered and had gone to rest.
On the sides were Xiao Feifei's aunt, second uncle, father, and fourth uncle, along with their respective spouses.
As they saw Ye Feng enter, each of them looked at him with arrogance, their gazes making Ye Feng feel uncomfortable.
At this moment, the Old Madam Xiao glanced at Ye Feng and spoke in a disdainful tone, "Boy, your name is Ye Feng, right!"
Ye Feng nodded and said, "That's right!"
Upon hearing this, the Old Madam gave a signal to the second son, Xiao Qingshan, below.
Seeing this, Xiao Qingshan stood up, walked to Ye Feng's side, and handed him a card.
"Huh? What do you mean by this?" Ye Feng asked, confused.
The Old Madam Xiao then said, "There's eleven million in here! One million is for thanking you for detoxifying our old master, and the other ten million..."
Hearing this, Ye Feng shook his head and said, "No need. Feifei is my girlfriend, and Old Master Xiao is her grandfather, so he's also my grandfather..."
Before Ye Feng could finish speaking, he was interrupted.
The second son of the Xiao family, Xiao Qingshan, suddenly shouted, "Shut up! Who is your grandfather? Our Xiao family has not agreed to your relationship..."
