Ye Feng was taken aback by the words.
However, before he could react, the other members of the Xiao family chimed in.
"That's right, we've never acknowledged your relationship, so don't go calling us that!"
"Exactly, why don't you take a look at yourself in the mirror? You actually dare to dream of climbing into our Xiao family's high branches?"
"You're just a stinking fisherman, are you worthy of our Feifei?"
Ye Feng's brows furrowed tightly as he listened to the mockery from the Xiao family.
At this moment, the old man and the butler behind Ye Feng heard the Xiao family's taunts and a surge of anger ignited within them.
"Damn it, these lowly fellows, how dare they treat our noble young master like this..."
Steward Zheng, seeing this, was furious and was about to step forward to speak.
But the old man grabbed him and shook his head, saying, "Shh, don't move for now, let's observe the situation!"
Steward Zheng had no choice but to stand still, but the anger on his face was hard to conceal.
Facing the Xiao family's ridicule, Ye Feng calmly replied, "Perhaps I am not worthy of Feifei now, but that does not mean I will not be worthy of her in the future! Thirty years in the east, thirty years in the west, do not bully the young and poor!"
Ye Feng knew that he was not worthy of the Xiao family now, but with the Sea God's inheritance in his hands, as long as he was given time, surpassing the Xiao family would only be a matter of time.
However, upon hearing this, the members of the Xiao family burst into laughter.
"Heh, you, a fisherman without status or background, what else can you be in thirty years besides an old fisherman?"
"Exactly! Being with our Feifei, aren't you just trying to climb high and become successful?"
"Kid, you need to have some self-awareness. Our Feifei is a daughter of a wealthy family, not someone you can have designs on..."
The Xiao family members continued to mock him, showing no gratitude whatsoever.
Ye Feng smiled when he saw this.
He had come to save the old master of the Xiao family, only to receive such treatment.
However, he did not get angry and continued, "Feifei and I are truly in love. From beginning to end, I have never thought of getting anything from the Xiao family!"
Upon hearing this, Old Mrs. Xiao chuckled, "Young man, no matter what your intentions were at the start, our Feifei is not someone you can aspire to."
"I..."
As Ye Feng was about to retort, Old Mrs. Xiao interrupted him.
With a condescending air, she said, "You don't need to say anything more! The extra ten million on this card is your breakup fee, enough for you to fish for a lifetime!"
Ye Feng felt both angry and amused.
He never imagined that such a melodramatic plot from a TV show would happen to him.
At this moment, the old man and Steward Zheng behind Ye Feng were about to explode with anger.
This was a blatant insult to him!
How could he tolerate his grandson being insulted like this in front of him?
"This Xiao family has really gotten too arrogant! If it weren't for the cooperation between our family's Haoxin Group and them more than ten years ago, they would have long fallen out of the ranks of the four major families! And now they treat our young master like this!" Steward Zheng said indignantly.
The old man heard this and said, "Immediately send a message to the chairman of this group!"
"Understood, Master!" Steward Zheng said, taking out his phone and sending a text message.
Meanwhile, Ye Feng took a deep breath, trying hard to calm himself down.
After a few seconds, he said neither subserviently nor arrogantly, "I know you won't believe anything I say now, so when we stand at the same height, I will come to find Feifei!"
"As for this eleven million, you can keep it for yourselves! I, Ye Feng, truly don't look down on this little bit of money!"
With that, Ye Feng turned to Xiao Feifei and said, "Feifei, wait for me! I will definitely reach the same height as the Xiao family, or even higher. I will definitely come back for you then! Believe me, it won't be long!"
After speaking, Ye Feng turned to leave without hesitation, as staying there would only be self-humiliation.
"Ye Feng, wait a moment!" Xiao Feifei suddenly called out loudly.
Hearing this, Ye Feng stopped in his tracks.
Then Xiao Feifei looked at Old Mrs. Xiao and said, "Grandma, Ye Feng and I are truly in love! He has never wanted anything from me!"
However, Old Mrs. Xiao sneered, "Feifei, you are too young! You don't understand the wickedness of people's hearts. We are doing this for your own good!"
Hearing this, Xiao Feifei became anxious and started to cry, shouting, "Grandma, I really like Ye Feng. If you don't agree, I will shave my head and become a nun, and I will never marry in this life!"
Old Mrs. Xiao was furious and was about to scold Xiao Feifei.
However, before she could speak, Xiao Qinghai, standing beside her, suddenly stood up and spoke first, "Mom, Feifei is right. Ye Feng has helped us many times and has never asked for anything in return!"
Old Mrs. Xiao frowned, "Third brother, what do you mean?"
Xiao Qinghai continued, "He even helped us detoxify father this time. If you don't agree to them, I won't be the head of the Xiao family anymore. You can find someone else!"
"What? You, are you father and daughter rebelling?" Old Mrs. Xiao's hands trembled with anger upon hearing this.
However, at this moment, a mobile phone ringtone sounded.
This immediately drew everyone's attention to one person, Xiao Qing Shan, the second son of the Xiao family.
Seeing this, Old Mrs. Xiao said, "Quickly hang up the phone!"
"Oh, oh, I know!"
Xiao Qing Shan said, fumbling for his phone to hang up.
But when he saw the contact name, he quickly withdrew his hand and said, "Mom, it's the chairman of Haoxin Group!"
Upon hearing the words "Chairman of Haoxin Group," Old Mrs. Xiao's spirits lifted, and she quickly said, "Then, then quickly answer it!"
"Oh, okay!" Xiao Qing Shan said as he answered the phone and turned on the speaker.
Xiao Qing Shan said politely with a smile, "Hello, Chairman Jiang, why are you calling me?"
However, in the next second, the content of the phone call made the entire Xiao family turn pale with shock.
The other party said directly without any preamble, "Hello, our Haoxin Group intends to cancel all cooperation with your Xiao family!"
Hearing this, everyone in the Xiao family was stunned.
It was known that Haoxin Group was the only trillion-dollar group in the province. More than sixty percent of the Xiao family's income came from cooperation with Haoxin Group. If the cooperation was canceled, the Xiao family's losses would be immeasurable.
"What? To, to cancel cooperation with our Xiao family? Wh, why! We have been cooperating for more than ten years, and it has always been good, hasn't it?" Xiao Qing Shan said in confusion.
The other party said, "There is no why. If you don't want to cancel, you can! Hand the phone to your Xiao family's old lady!"
Although Xiao Qing Hai was confused, he still handed the phone to Old Mrs. Xiao.
Old Mrs. Xiao took the phone with confusion. After hearing the other party's words, she was completely stunned. Da Feng Novel Network.
After a while, she hung up the phone and said, "Ahem, young man, you can be with our Feifei, but there are a few conditions..."
