Dragon King Palace: Urban Affluent Son-in-Law-Chapter 1177: Alive, I’m Yours; Dead, I’m Your Ghost!

"Alright, we'll go take a look this afternoon."

Jiang Feng remained expressionless, unable to resist as the four women at home were all speaking on behalf of Baili Xiyue.

He was curious, what kind of charm did this woman use on Nangong Qingcheng and the others, to be so popular?

"Forget the afternoon, let's go right now, I'll bring some food."

Baili Xiyue was more eager than expected, grabbing some snacks from the coffee table and two bottles of beverages, then pulling Jiang Feng out the door.

"Xi Yue, aren't you... going to change clothes?"

Sisterhood was one thing, but Nangong Qingcheng felt a bit uneasy about Baili Xiyue taking Jiang Feng out in such attire.

"No time, we'll talk when we get back."

Baili Xiyue didn't care much; to be honest, she was dressed like this just for Jiang Feng.

Besides, Jiang Feng had practically seen her in nothing before, so this wasn't a big deal. She wanted to ensnare Jiang Feng even more!

Under the peculiar gaze of the four women, Baili Xiyue grabbed Jiang Feng, changed her shoes at the doorway, and went out directly.

The four ladies also followed to the door, watching the two drive off in Baili Xiyue's Koenigsegg.

...

In the car.

Jiang Feng certainly didn't feel obliged to drive for Baili Xiyue. While eating pizza, he sent Murong Qian a message, telling her that the issue with Nangong Qingcheng was resolved, and she no longer needed to worry.

In fact, though Murong Qian occasionally got jealous, it was a woman's nature, but she was quite mature at heart.

Knowing Nangong Qingcheng was in trouble, she had been worried.

With Jiang Feng's message, she finally felt relieved.

Then, Jiang Feng phoned her, telling her that her BMW X5 was parked in Guihua District, and that he didn't have time to bring it to her, so she should go pick it up herself.

This wasn't a problem at all; Murong Qian only urged Jiang Feng to comfort Nangong Qingcheng and not worry about the car, saying she could handle it.

Jiang Feng thus set aside a concern.

"Texting another beautiful woman, are we?"

Baili Xiyue was speeding and glanced at the mirror, eyeing Jiang Feng for a while before teasingly asking.

Jiang Feng didn't bother responding to her banter. Leaning against the headrest, he asked, "What's your grandfather's illness?"

"How should I know? What I heard is it's a weird illness, which neither Western nor Chinese medicine can treat," Baili Xiyue's gaze scattered slightly, covering her uneasiness.

Jiang Feng's intuition was sharp; internally sarcastic, he said, "A weird illness still has symptoms, doesn't it?" 𝓯𝙧𝓮𝓮𝒘𝓮𝙗𝙣𝒐𝒗𝒆𝓵.𝓬𝓸𝒎

"How should I know? You're so naggy! Why don't you just go and see what it is?" Baili Xiyue snapped irritably.

"Enough pretending!"

Jiang Feng suddenly got angry, stretching his leg and pressing the gas pedal. "Why did you drag me out here in such a hurry? Unless you explain clearly, I'm getting out and you can go back yourself!"

Baili Xiyue jumped, realizing they were on a narrow road below the highway. Luckily, there were no cars or people around, or Jiang Feng's sudden action could have caused an accident!

"Do you have a death wish? Trying to get both of us killed?"

Baili Xiyue glared at him, still shaken. "My grandpa's in a unique situation; could you come back and take a look? Why are you suddenly so suspicious?"

Jiang Feng said nothing, indeed pushing open the car door and getting out.

"Hey, what are you doing?!"

Baili Xiyue panicked, quickly reaching from the driver's seat and grabbing Jiang Feng's arm. "How can you just leave like that? How about what you promised Qingcheng and the others at home?"

"Don't drag Qingcheng into this!"

Jiang Feng said coldly, "You're exploiting their kindness. I won't fall for it. If you don't explain clearly, go back on your own. I don't have time to waste!"

Baili Xiyue was out of options; never did she expect Jiang Feng to be so perceptive. A mix of anger and frustration compelled her, "Fine! I'll tell, alright? Actually, my grandpa set up a matchmaking for me; insists that I return today as the person is already here! I can't escape; if I don't go home, he'll send someone to fetch me. So I can only take you back and use you as my shield, claiming I have a boyfriend and a partner—"

Shit!

Upon hearing this, Jiang Feng cursed outright!

Just as he suspected, it's this kind of situation again!

Why does he seem destined for this shield role, stumbling on it every time?

Yet Jiang Feng acknowledges that the wealthier the family, the more the women face such dilemmas. Lifetime decisions usually aren't theirs, based on varying family interests or financial benefits, often opting for alliances.

The more beautiful the affluent woman, the less she can escape this fate, but Jiang Feng was perplexed. The Baili Family was already the top in the Provincial City; why the need to still rely on others and form marital ties?!

"Inventing nonsense, aren't you? Is there any truth in what you say?"

Jiang Feng retorted coldly, shaking her off and stepping out of the car.

"Jiang Feng, don't leave!"

Baili Xiyue ran down, eyes already moist. "When did I lie about this? Why would I joke about such matters? It's the truth! My grandpa spoiled me since I was little, yet this time personally arranged it, inviting someone I've never seen to our home! Now he's sending Uncle Bai to Binhai to fetch me! Rather than being caught, I'd rather return myself, and bring you along! With you, I have the confidence!"

Seeing Baili Xiyue on the verge of tears, Jiang Feng hesitated briefly. Could it be true?

But remembering how adept this woman was at acting, he must be cautious and not trust too easily.

"Regardless of truth or lies, I don't seem obligated to help with such things. Whomever you choose has nothing to do with me. If you dislike it, talk it over with your grandpa yourself," Jiang Feng replied calmly.

"If words would suffice, you think I'd be dragging you out here? And what do you mean it doesn't matter; aren't we already..."

Baili Xiyue's chest heaved in anger. How could this bastard dismiss it with mere words after taking so much advantage?

How does he view her?!

"Don't distort facts, we've never done anything; it's you choosing to cling at home," Jiang Feng responded indifferently.

"Jiang Feng!" Baili Xiyue was incensed. "How can you be so heartless? The time at the cliff, have you forgotten how you treated me? I don't care; from that night, I consider myself your woman. Alive as yours, dead as your ghost, you can't escape it!"

That night?

Jiang Feng was speechless. What happened that night? Wasn't it just a whim to tease her? She was the one dragging him off the cliff for love; how is this sticking to him now?

"Are you serious?" Jiang Feng squinted, his expression sour, and asked.
