"You know this, yet you still want to interfere? The Feng Family has the backing of the Corpse Refining Clan this time. You alone are truly no match for them. If you go looking for trouble, it's just asking for death," Liu Pingping said anxiously.
"Miss Liu, actually, I had no intention of meddling in your marriage affairs. After all, you and I have no connection. But you're quite lucky; it's precisely because of the Corpse Refining Clan that I will take the opportunity to handle your matters," Jiang Chen replied.
Upon hearing Jiang Chen's words, Liu Pingping realized that he wasn't interested in her beauty after all; it turned out she had been overthinking things.
"Hey, Mr. Jiang, if you have no feelings for Pingping, how could you possibly be interested in her affairs at the airport? You don't think this makes you seem unique and imposing, do you?" Yang Er chimed in, believing that Jiang Chen should be attracted to her best friend, the most beautiful woman in Southwest Province, rather than being involved with the Corpse Refining Clan.
Jiang Chen was speechless and didn't bother to respond to Yang Er; she could think whatever she wanted. Beautiful women always tended to overthink.
"E'er, don't speak to Mr. Jiang like that. By the way, Mr. Jiang, do you have any grievances with the Corpse Refining Clan? Are you planning to confront them?" Liu Pingping quickly interjected.
"They owe me something," Jiang Chen stated.
"What is it?" Liu Pingping and the others immediately became intrigued and looked at Jiang Chen with curious eyes.
"A corpse," Jiang Chen replied.
"Ah?" Everyone was taken aback.
"Mr. Jiang, you're not joking, are you? What do you need a corpse for?" Liu Pingping asked in shock and confusion.
"Do I look like I'm joking?" Jiang Chen retorted.
Liu Pingping and the others exchanged glances, their expressions frozen and complex. Jiang Chen's words completely shattered their worldview; it was hard to accept that he would seek a corpse from the Corpse Refining Clan.
Jiang Chen indeed wanted the body of Jiang Zhan because he understood that if Jiang Zhan's corpse were activated by the Corpse Refining Clan, it would bring disaster to Earth. However, he couldn't explain this clearly to Liu Pingping and the others, so he chose not to elaborate further.
In the hall, the atmosphere grew tense. Suddenly, Liu Xifang's phone rang. After answering it, her expression became even more complicated.
After hanging up, Liu Xifang said, "The Feng Family's wedding procession is about to arrive."
Upon hearing this, Liu Pingping's expression changed dramatically before turning somber; what was meant to come would eventually arrive.
"Mr. Jiang, please do not make things difficult for the Feng Family," Liu Xifang kindly advised.
"Mr. Jiang, you should avoid meeting with anyone from the Feng Family; just hide away," Liu Pingping urged as she tried to pull Jiang Chen away to hide.
Jiang Chen was too lazy to explain himself to the Liu Family again and simply sat back down on the sofa, waiting leisurely.
Seeing that Jiang Chen wouldn't listen to their advice, the Liu Family felt helpless. They were worried that he might offend the Feng Family and that they would retaliate against the Liu Family as a result.
After a while, the Feng Family's convoy arrived at the villa entrance. The groom Feng Dong entered excitedly in a suit, surrounded by a group of groomsmen. The Liu Family attempted to block Feng Dong and his entourage at the door to prevent Jiang Chen from facing him. However, they were utterly unable to stop them; with Feng Dong's stature alone, he could easily break through any barrier.
After entering, Feng Dong strode into the hall.
In the hall, a young man sat on the sofa, looking quite out of place.
"Who are you? What are you doing sitting here?" Seeing the young man lounging there so casually, Feng Dong was instantly furious. He had no regard for manners and felt completely disrespected by this person who seemed to dismiss him, master Feng.
