Seeing someone coming up, Ye Feng and Zhang Ximeng were both stunned.

When they turned to look, it was Gua Wa and Xiao Cui!

"What are you guys doing here?" Ye Feng smiled and immediately stood up.

Gua Wa and Xiao Cui had a somewhat strange look on their faces at this moment; their eyes were all on Zhang Ximeng. Although it was night and they couldn't clearly see Zhang Ximeng's face, from her exquisite figure, they could tell she was a woman.

Gua Wa clearly hadn't expected a woman to be there, scratching his head and looking slightly embarrassed, while Xiao Cui's pretty face instantly turned gloomy.

"Yezi! I came to thank you!"

After seeing the expression on his sister's face, Gua Wa sighed and then spoke with a face full of gratitude,

"This afternoon, Sanpi called me, saying he could give me some time to pay back the money! And I heard from him, it's all thanks to you!"

Gua Wa was honest and simple, and if he really had to take back the bride price to repay the usurers, not only would it not be enough, but his marriage plans would definitely be ruined.

He had been in talks with Xiao Qin for several years now and naturally didn't want things to fall apart like this. Now, Ye Feng had indeed given him a tremendous hand.

"Don't mention it! Before I leave, I will make sure this issue is resolved!"

Ye Feng smiled. In Jiangcheng County, he had very few friends, and Gua Wa and his sister were almost his best friends; naturally, he wouldn't stand idly by.

Hearing Ye Feng's words, Gua Wa scratched his head and laughed foolishly,

"Yezi! I was originally planning to go ask for the bride price back, but now I don't need to! The day after tomorrow is my wedding, and I hope you can come tomorrow to help me out! All the other classmates have also been notified!"

Ye Feng was slightly taken aback and asked in confusion, "Why so soon?"

"It's not that it's soon! Xiao Qin and I had set the date a long time ago. If it weren't for Xiao Qin's parents demanding so much bride price, we'd probably already be married by now!"

Now that Gua Wa's worries were resolved, he was clearly extremely happy,

"Yezi! From when I was little until now, I always admired you the most! You have to come to my wedding this time, no matter what!"

Gua Wa's face was earnest. When Ye Feng was still in school, he often helped him from being bullied by other students, and now he had helped solve the bride price issue; Gua Wa was extremely hopeful that Ye Feng would attend his wedding.

Xiao Cui also looked hopeful,

"Big brother Yezi, why don't you stay here for a day or two? It won't be too late if you leave after attending my brother's wedding!"

Hearing the sincere words from the two, Ye Feng's eyebrows knitted slightly.

Originally, he planned to leave tomorrow and then fly overseas directly from Jiangnan City, but now...

After making a quick mental calculation of Shu Yuehua's situation and knowing that she wouldn't have issues for the next few months, Ye Feng nodded and agreed,

"Alright then! I'll leave after your wedding!"

Ye Feng smiled helplessly. Having left this time, he didn't know when he would return to Jiangcheng County. It would be good to spend these next couple of days accompanying Li Qingshan underground!

Seeing Ye Feng agree, Gua Wa and Xiao Cui's faces showed great excitement.

"Yezi, my in-laws have already booked a hotel in the county. You can come over tomorrow afternoon, and help me prepare the wedding the next morning! I've notified all the other junior high classmates already, and even Feng Wanqing, when she heard you were back, agreed to come help tomorrow!"

Gua Wa's words took Ye Feng by surprise: "Feng Wanqing?"

Thinking of that name, Ye Feng smiled. She was his deskmate in junior high, as well as the class president and school beauty. However, Feng Wanqing was absorbed into the Party School right after finishing the first year of junior high to be groomed as a reserve talent.

Although Ye Feng didn't spend much time with Feng Wanqing, he had a deep impression of his beautiful former deskmate.

"Yes! Feng Wanqing is now the youngest mayor in Jiangcheng County, and even in Jiangnan Province, and it seems she might even join the county committee in the next leadership reshuffle. Her prospects are boundless, and she's definitely the most successful student from our school now!"

Gua Wa mentioned Feng Wanqing with a look of admiration, which even surprised Ye Feng.

Feng Wanqing was only a year or two older than he was, at most twenty years old now. To be a mayor at that age was unprecedented, not just in Jiangnan Province but in all of China.

"All right then! I'll go over tomorrow afternoon," Ye Feng nodded and said.

Afterwards, Gua Wa gave Ye Feng an address, then prepared to head down the mountain with Xiao Cui.

But Xiao Cui had only taken two steps when she stopped, turned her head as if she had mustered all her courage, and said:

"Brother Ye! The wind is strong on the mountain. Would you like your sister-in-law to stay at our house for the night?"

Xiao Cui's eyes were somewhat moist when she spoke, but under the cover of night her expression was indiscernible.

Ye Feng scratched his head awkwardly, glanced at Zhang Ximeng beside him, and was about to ask her opinion when Zhang Ximeng spoke up:

"Thank you for your kindness. I would still prefer to stay here for the night!"

Zhang Ximeng's voice was exceptionally sweet. Hearing her speak, Gua Wa and Xiao Cui could be sure she was a beauty.

Xiao Cui's expression grew even more dim, and she forced a smile at Ye Feng and the others before following Gua Wa down the mountain.

It wasn't until the two had left that Zhang Ximeng looked at Ye Feng with a playful expression:

"I didn't realize you were so charming; that young girl obviously liked you!"

Zhang Ximeng stared intently at Ye Feng, and inexplicably, her words carried a sour tone.

Ye Feng was startled, then shook his head with a laugh:

"Stop joking. Xiao Cui is like a sister to me! Besides, I haven't seen her for three years; how could that be possible!"

Ye Feng truly hadn't noticed any peculiarities about Xiao Cui. In his eyes, although Xiao Cui had grown into a young woman, she was no different from the little girl who used to follow him around, and he had always treated her as a sister.

Seeing that Ye Feng hadn't detected Xiao Cui's peculiar behavior, Zhang Ximeng's face twisted oddly, thinking how this guy sometimes seemed so handsome, and yet could be so oblivious at other times.

The night passed without conversation!

The next morning, Zhang Ximeng's wounds had completely healed. She even felt more energetic than before, which left her amazed at Ye Feng's medical skills.

Strangely, Zhang Ximeng didn't plan to leave right away. Instead, she had Ye Feng make another campfire meal and took her to climb around the surrounding mountains until the afternoon, when they finally returned to Jiangcheng County together.

After parting ways with Zhang Ximeng, Ye Feng headed straight for the Jiangcheng Hotel that Gua Wa had mentioned.

Jiangcheng Hotel was a modest establishment. Upon entering, he saw faces both familiar and strange.

"Brother Ye, you're here!"

Xiao Cui seemed to have been waiting in the lobby for a while. When she saw Ye Feng, a flash of excitement sparkled in her beautiful eyes, and then she pulled him over to sit down at a table.

"Brother Ye, why are you alone? Where's your sister-in-law?" Xiao Cui was a little puzzled to see Ye Feng without the woman from last night.

Ye Feng shook his head with a laugh: "She's not your sister-in-law!"

Just as Xiao Cui was about to ask more, a somewhat grating voice rang out.

"Yo! Isn't that Ye Feng? What's up? Finally came back after working for three years?"
