A Bugatti Veyron, profound as a leopard, glided through the night.
The car carried two men and one woman, all of their faces flushed with the faint hue of alcohol, talking and laughing in high spirits!
"Haha... Brother-in-law, I admire you so much! This is my first time seeing Wan Shaoling lose face like that. You should have seen the color drain from his face when he left, just like he swallowed a fly! It was damn satisfying!"
The little monkey drove the car while looking at the rear-view mirror, speaking exuberantly to Ye Feng and Jiang Ying in the back seat.
Meanwhile, Jiang Ying clung tightly to Ye Feng's arm, her pretty face brimming with sweetness.
This kind of social gathering was essentially a competition among the younger generations of the major families, and Ye Feng's performance tonight had not only brought pride to her but also greatly boosted the prestige of the Jiang Family, thoroughly overshadowing the Wan Family!
She even felt that meeting Ye Feng was perhaps the luckiest event of her life.
At this moment, Ye Feng, feeling Jiang Ying's tender love, could not help but plant a kiss on her forehead.
In his hands, he held the remaining half-bottle of Emperor's liquor, while his other hand was stuffed with a dense collection of business cards!
Be it gold-lettered or diamond-encrusted cards, these were the contact details of the most prominent scions in Mingzhu City.
The little monkey took another glance at Ye Feng through the rear-view mirror, his smile growing even more excited and joyful;
"Brother-in-law! You really made me proud this time! I've attended a few of these gatherings before, but those people hardly paid any attention to me. But today, which one of them wasn't trying to butter me up! They all want to get in good with you, and a few even told me they wanted to become your underlings and asked me to sound you out. What do you think?"
The little monkey was just the grandson of old Mr. Jiang, at best half a member of the Jiang Family! Although they gave him some face for the Jiang Family's sake, their attitude was quite cold.
But tonight was the most glorious night of his life, especially before they left, when those affluent young masters nearly drowned the three of them with their enthusiasm.
Now, the little monkey had the utmost admiration for old Mr. Jiang's discerning eye. Had it not been for him recognizing a gem like Ye Feng, the Jiang Family could have very well pushed such a remarkable person into someone else's camp!
Seeing the little monkey's excitement, Ye Feng smiled nonchalantly, "I don't mess with the underworld, what do I need underlings for?"
"Alright! Since brother-in-law isn't interested, I'll just brush off those guys myself!" The little monkey had come to understand Ye Feng's character.
Ye Feng was indifferent in nature, not caring for fame or profit, nothing like those privileged young masters!
As the three of them chatted and laughed, the car had unwittingly passed by the most luxurious Prince Hotel in Mingzhu.
It was already late at night, and there were few cars on the road in front of the Prince Hotel. Further east, not far along the road, there were several large food stalls.
The Bugatti Veyron sped past the center of the food stalls, but suddenly, Ye Feng caught a glimpse of something through the car window, and the smile on his face instantly froze, his body trembling sharply.
"Stop the car!!!"
Ye Feng bellowed, startling both the little monkey and Jiang Ying.
Without a second thought, the little monkey slammed on the brakes, stopping the car in front of a narrow alleyway.
"Brother-in-law, what's wrong?" The little monkey looked at Ye Feng with a puzzled face.
Similarly, Jiang Ying felt the same. Clinging to Ye Feng's arm, she could now sense that his body was shaking, his face filled with shock and disbelief!
"Feng! Are you okay..." Jiang Ying was startled, as it was the first time she had seen Ye Feng so agitated.
Gradually, the shock on Ye Feng's face subsided. He closed his eyes and took a few deep breaths to steady his unwieldy emotions. Then he put on a stiff smile and said to the two,
"I've got something to do! You go back first!"
After saying that, Ye Feng kissed Jiang Ying's forehead, then handed her the half bottle of Emperor Wine before opening the car door and stepping out.
Jiang Ying and her companion were full of confusion, but seeing that Ye Feng was unwilling to elaborate, they didn't ask any further. After a few instructions, they slowly drove away in the Bugatti Veyron.
After they left, Ye Feng turned his gaze to a street stall not far behind them, or rather, to a girl sitting at one of the stall's tables.
"It really is her..."
Upon seeing the girl's face, Ye Feng's body trembled even more violently. His expression was complex, filled with memories, sweetness, and sorrow…
He didn't approach the girl but instead hid in a corner at the entrance of the alley, peering in her direction!
He stared intently at the girl's face, imagining her smiles and frowns from the past!
"You've lost weight... and you've grown up..."
Ye Feng wore a bitter smile. At that moment, he was no longer the suave playboy but rather a naïve young man who had been hurt and known pain...
...
At this moment, in those few street stalls, there were only a few chefs and two men and a woman; besides them, there were no other customers.
The two men were both dressed in black suits, looking around vigilantly. Even when a bicycle passed by, they would watch it for a long time!
And the only girl, dressed in a black coat and blue leisure pants, sat quietly at a table, chewing slowly on a plate of stir-fry noodles.
She ate earnestly and gracefully, as though it wasn't just a plate of noodles but a memory!
A memory belonging to her and him…
Seeing the girl eat her noodles so earnestly, a bodyguard not far away looked perplexed and asked his colleague:
"Brother Zhang, why does the young miss come out to eat noodles in the middle of the night? And she's so serious about it! I remember she used to do this often in Hong Kong too! Could it be that her favorite food is stir-fry noodles?"
This man had only been the girl's bodyguard for half a year, and he didn't know much about this usually reticent young miss, although he had heard a thing or two from his colleagues.
As for the Brother Zhang he referred to, he had been the girl's bodyguard for two years and knew her preferences much better.
Hearing this, Brother Zhang sighed and looked back at the girl with a gaze filled with pity:
"The young miss didn't seem to like stir-fry noodles before, but ever since that person left three years ago, she started eating it often!"
"That person?"
The bodyguard was startled and then asked with a bitter smile:
"I've heard you guys mention that person countless times, but who exactly is that person?"
"The young miss's first love..."
Brother Zhang looked helpless, then whispered:
"Apparently, when the young miss and her first love fell on hard times, they shared a bowl of stir-fry noodles together! Actually, every time the young miss eats stir-fry noodles, she's not just eating; she's reminiscing about that person..."
