The Magnificent Son-in-law

Chapter 181: Spiritual Mentor


When everyone saw the name signed by Mu Shihan, they were all taken aback, without exception. Never mind whether this letter could reach the hands of someone in charge, they would probably question the authenticity of its content upon seeing the signature, wouldn't they?

"Your signature..." Chen Xiuxiu was hesitating to speak, unsure of how to begin her critique.

"What's wrong with my signature?" Mu Shihan frowned, pondering, and then suddenly realized, "Oh, I get it. It should be more formal, right? But, what should I change it to? Let me think."

"Don't bother thinking," Wang Lubo threw cold water on her idea, "Even if you send it out, it will probably sink like a stone, not even a ripple would be seen."

Mu Shihan was not convinced and said, "Fat Bo, do you have any stance at all? I'm standing up for justice here. Besides, I haven't said where I'm going to post it yet."

"Then where do you plan to post it?" Xiao Feng asked curiously.

"I plan to post it on international websites. Once there's enough attention, domestic investigations will naturally begin," Mu Shihan said confidently.

Xiao Feng shook his head with a smile, "Public opinion isn't leveraged like that. Without evidence, even if every word is true, it would still be considered a rumor, and you would just be inviting trouble for yourself."

"So we just let the bad guys get away with it?" Mu Shihan said angrily.

"Relax, Wu Tian has lost such face this time, do you think he can swallow this disgrace?" Xiao Feng chuckled, "When the building is collapsing, there will always be people to add insult to injury. By then, someone else will expose his wrongdoing for us."

Song Keren secretly nodded. What Xiao Feng said wasn't false. Take the Shen Group, which just went bankrupt a few days ago; the task force received hundreds of anonymous tips in just one day, detailing the illegal activities of the Shen Group, many of which even the police had no leads on.

And the sources of these messages were nothing but people who feared the Shen Group's survival, desperately adding the last straw to the camel about to be crushed.

But while the reasoning was sound, the key issue was: where did Xiao Feng get the confidence to confront Wu Tian and the Wu Family behind him?

For a moment, the atmosphere in the room grew heavy, with only Mu Shihan still happily eating her food.

This wasn't because she was carefree, but because the little girl never questioned her Xiao Feng brother.

Since Xiao Feng said he didn't care about Wu Tian and the Kyoto Wu Family, he must have his confidence and backing!

Just as Xiao Feng was thinking of ways to lighten the mood, Song Keren stood up, raised her glass, and said, "Everyone, stop overthinking it. As someone once said, 'When soldiers come, wield the shield; when water arrives, use earth to block it; the cart will find its way around the mountain'. Let's make today a night to remember, cheers!"

The naturally lively little girl was the first to agree, "That's right, with food and drinks, where's the room for worries?"

Chen Xiuxiu and Wang Lubo exchanged a glance and then raised their glasses.

Everyone looked at Xiao Feng in unison; Xiao Feng stood up with a smile and clinked glasses with everyone, but couldn't help but wonder if the 'someone' Song Keren mentioned was him.

Because what Song Keren had just said was exactly what Xiao Feng wanted to say but hadn't yet had the chance.

After several rounds of drinks, except for Xiao Feng, who seemed to have an amazing alcohol tolerance, and Mu Shihan, who drank soda the whole time, everyone seemed a bit tipsy.

Then, Wang Lubo, holding a glass of wine, sat next to Xiao Feng, speaking sincerely, "Feng bro, from childhood till now, you're the only one who truly treated me as a brother. I drink to you."

With that, he tilted his head and downed the wine.

Xiao Feng drank joyfully, and then saw Wang Lubo with tears in his eyes, "Countless people in the world want to be second-generation rich, but real second-generation rich often aren't happy. Feng bro, do you know why?"

Xiao Feng thought for a moment, "Because ordinary people can't imagine the happiness of the second-generation rich?"

"..." Wang Lubo had so much bitterness ready to spill out but had to swallow it back because of Xiao Feng's answer, feeling extremely uncomfortable.

"I know you want to say that many things are beyond your control and you lack freedom," Xiao Feng refilled the wine, saying, "but the hardships of ordinary people might not be any less. It's just that everyone's circumstances are different."

"Don't understand?" Xiao Feng looked at Wang Lubo's furrowed brows and laughed, "Then let's use the simplest example: why did your family want to marry into the Song Family before?"

Wang Lubo replied without thinking, "Money."

"What about wanting to marry into the Chen Family now?"

"Still money."

Xiao Feng spread his hands, "Isn't it all for money and profit in the end? If you don't want to worry about it, then prove your own value and have the ability to create this wealth."

Wang Lubo immediately smiled bitterly, "That kind of money isn't a small amount. Even if I have the ability to earn it, if the family isn't satisfied, isn't it all in vain?"

"Bozai, you're really something, aren't you?" Xiao Feng said, a bit annoyed, "I don't know your family situation, but from what you say, whoever has the money has the say, right?"

Wang Lubo's eyes lit up, "I get it, Feng bro, you're right. As long as I earn wealth that even my family has to look up to, all my troubles will be solved. Hahaha, let's drink!"

After nudging Wang Lubo away, Xiao Feng looked at Song Keren, who was drinking alone, "Need me to enlighten you?"

"You really see yourself as a life coach, huh," Song Keren put down the glass and laughed, "Do you think I'm Wang Lubo? He thinks you solved his problems, but don't you think he has no awareness of what you said?"

Song Keren sighed, "The real issue isn't knowing how to solve the problem, but even if you know, you can't meet the conditions required to solve it. So, knowing or not knowing makes no difference."

Having been in the system for a long time, Song Keren's words sounded convoluted, but if you think about it carefully, it's actually quite simple.

It's like an ordinary person wanting to buy a supercar but not having the money for it, so the condition to get a supercar is money, but they can't meet this condition.

Xiao Feng took a sip of wine, smiling, "I don't agree with that. Perhaps after my little enlightenment, Bozai will become the richest man directly?"

Song Keren rolled her eyes, "Becoming the richest man is impossible, becoming the richest burden sounds about right."

With that, she downed the wine in her glass and walked towards the balcony.

After Song Keren left, Chen Xiuxiu came over with a glass of wine, smiling, "There are times I feel very impressed by you. I don't know your background, but you possess a strong heart!"

From Chen Xiuxiu's perspective, Xiao Feng taking down the Shen Group single-handedly and forcing local powers like the Chang Family to bow down was an immensely difficult feat in itself!

While there might be elements of luck and coincidence, who could deny that it wasn't a skill, or perhaps, a blessing from above.

Moreover, even knowing the power of the Wu Family, Xiao Feng remained calm, a composure that couldn't be easily faked.

Xiao Feng clinked glasses with her, "I wish for you and Bozai to succeed soon. I really believe in you two!"

Chen Xiuxiu glanced at Wang Lubo, who was busy playing mobile games; her face flushed slightly, "Thank you!"

At this point, Xiao Feng noticed that Mu Shihan had somehow fallen asleep on the sofa.

He walked over, took off his jacket, and placed it over Mu Shihan. The girl suddenly giggled foolishly twice, "Hehe, Brother Xiao Feng..."

Xiao Feng couldn't help but smile. This girl couldn't forget to call out his name even when talking in her sleep. Who knows what she's dreaming about that's making her so happy.

As he was thinking, he heard Mu Shihan say, "Pour out the foot-washing water."

Darn it!

Xiao Feng's face went slack; so the little girl was giggling like an idiot just because she dreamed of him pouring out her foot-washing water?

With mixed feelings, Xiao Feng turned and walked towards the balcony. Ever since noon, he noticed that Song Keren's mood was quite unusual.

Now, in this cold weather, Song Keren had run to the balcony to feel the cold wind alone, naturally making it even weirder.
