?Reading on mobile phone If it weren't for the face of the deceased Qin Wei, Qin Feng would never have spared Cheng Mei and her child. Eight Zero E-book On his own, he could be sharp and critical—yet he had also raised his son into a full-blown idle, indulgent young man. At such a young age, he didn't even learn proper conduct; instead, he learned his elders' habits of dating, and boldly asked Hou Bao for a "Never-Deflating Pill," which truly deserved a good scolding. His kick left Qin Yu's erection reduced to mere water flow, and it wouldn't recover for a full week. "Little Feng, would you like to move in here?" Hou Bao asked. In his view, Qin's eldest son should certainly live in the Qin family's main residence. Qin Feng shook his head and said, "I simply can't stand the two mother and son. I'm afraid that once I move in, I'll end up cutting them down." Hou Baogang heard that and decided it was better to let it go—after all, they were family, and a bloody conflict was really unnecessary. He said, "Then I'll arrange you a villa instead. It might be a bit more modest, and it'll take some time to find something suitable." Qin Feng smiled and said, "What's the difference between a villa and a regular apartment? As long as the accommodations aren't worse than a hotel, I'll be satisfied." This wasn't him being modest. Over the past fifteen years, he'd slept in the jungle, on rooftops, and even on damp grass for thirty to forty hours straight during missions. He had always adapted to environments—he never chose them. Mei Hui immediately replied, "That simply won't do. You're the young heir of Qin Group, and if you're living so simply, people will think I and your father-in-law are out of touch." "Ah, Mei, you're being too kind," Qin Feng said, finally beginning to properly assess the young professional before him. Though they had met twice before, whether at the police station last night or at Qin's villa earlier, he had never taken the time to truly study Mei Hui's appearance due to other commitments. The executive woman exuded a mature grace—elegant yet not aloof, like a snow lotus blooming atop a snow-capped mountain, serene yet wise, bright-minded yet lively. Wearing a mid-to-low-cut black office dress, her well-defined shoulders were draped with a silk scarf, her bust prominent, her waist slender, and her long legs elegantly displayed beneath the high hem. She wore black matte leather high heels. Standing over 1.65 meters tall, with an additional 12 centimeters from her heels, she was nearly as tall as Qin Feng, who stood at 1.8 meters. In contrast, Hou Bao had become the embodiment of the "old, short, thin, and financially struggling" type—his height barely reaching 1.7 meters, thin and frail, with a slightly hunched posture. Qin Feng began to wonder how his father had raised such a remarkable daughter. Based on the conversations he had when he first came here, he knew that Mei Hui had been adopted by Hou Bao twelve years ago, with a forty-year age gap—perfectly meeting the criteria for an adoption. Qin Wei also liked Mei Hui when she was still a young girl, and together they nurtured her into an outstanding business talent. "Xiao Feng, you really don't need to be so formal with me. When Qin Zong was still alive, I used to call him Uncle Qin. If you don't mind, I'd prefer to call you Mei Jie or Hui Jie." Mei Hui said with a composed expression. Qin Feng chuckled and replied, "Then I'll no longer be formal. I'm sure there are quite a few people who call you Mei Jie. To show how close our relationship is, I'll just call you Hui Jie." "It's wonderful that you're able to address each other as sister and brother," Hou Bao said, beaming with satisfaction. Isn't it true that people always fall short when comparing themselves to others? Look at Qin Feng, and then at Qin Yu—so completely different, one like heaven, the other like earth. Mei Hui beamed with delight, saying, "Xiao Feng, there's going to be an elite gathering in a few days. I originally didn't want to attend, but now I think it's necessary to bring you along. It'll be great to meet these self-proclaimed elites and let them get a glimpse of our Qin少爷's风采." Fang Fang, who had been sitting quietly by the side without speaking, finally broke the silence: "Qin Feng, I never thought you were Qin's son. How have you managed these past ten years?" Hou Bao and Mei Hui also wanted to know, but with Fang Fang, an outsider, present, they didn't want Qin Feng to reveal all the details. Qin Feng sighed, gently deflecting the topic, saying, "This story alone would take three days and three nights to tell—there's just the right moment when I'll go into greater detail. By the way, Fang Fang, you've been out here for so long—your uncle and Aunt Li must be quite worried, right? Hou Bo, shall we take Fang Fang back now?" Hou Bao naturally agreed and instructed the driver to head to the Old Third Street. A luxury extended Lincoln arrived on the old Third Street, drawing a buzz as people spilled out of their shops, pointing and admiring the elegant vehicle. The Fang family's food stall was located near the street corner, so Li Ru was among the crowd. A neighbor stepped forward and said, "Li姐, do you think this is some wealthy businessman who's come to visit our old Third Street? Maybe it's one of the young ladies who's finally married off? I just wonder how old he is—though if he's under fifty, that would truly be a match!" Li Ru nodded in agreement, saying, "Exactly. As long as the age difference isn't too great, whether he's her romantic partner or just a third wife, it's not really a loss for her." But then she paused, thinking she'd see an elderly man in his sixties or seventies stepping out first—only to find that it was actually her own daughter who stepped down. Li Ru felt dizzy, thinking to herself: "Daughter, you simply can't be more selfless—how could you have chosen such a man, whose age is even older than your father's?" What good is it if the daughter is beautiful—parents still have endless worries. Now she's definitely going to be the subject of ridicule among the neighbors. Everyone was staring in astonishment; who on this street doesn't know the eldest daughter of the Fang family? Next to step down was Mei Hui, a well-dressed professional, whose mature grace immediately captivated the entire group. Li Ru's heart sank—was this the elder wife of the old man? Had she come to complain? Looking at her daughter Fang Fang, Li Ru saw only deep respect. If it weren't for holding onto the utility pole, she would have already sat down on the ground—what misfortune! Where has Old Fang been? If he starts shouting now, he better step up and take the heat—Li Ru simply can't afford to lose face. When Qin Feng appeared before everyone, Li Ru finally felt her anxiety ease. "Good morning, Aunt Li," Qin Feng greeted her warmly. Li Ru felt a great sense of pride—she had come especially to deliver her daughter. Now, her own face truly shone! Looking back on her earlier thoughts, she really wanted to slap herself. How could it be that her daughter, so well-behaved since childhood, go and become a mistress for a wealthy man? "Little Feng, you just came out of the police station, right?" After asking this question, Li Ru suddenly realized something and found her words stumbling: "You... you... you're really Qin Wei's son?" Before Qin Feng could speak, Hou Bao smiled and said, "Yes, Little Feng is Qin Wei's long-lost child. Thanks to you and your family for taking good care of us yesterday—thanks to your timely message, we were able to learn about your daughter, and she truly impresses us." Mei Hui's glance last night had instantly made Fang Fang understand, so she quietly pulled out her phone to record a video. Smiling, she said, "I think Fang Fang, working as an office clerk at the building materials company, is being underutilized. Why not make her my assistant instead?" Li Ru couldn't help but ask, "This lovely lady—?" "Mei Hui, CEO of Qin Group, and Hou Zong—please allow me to introduce them," Fang Fang said promptly. Gasps rose and fell continuously as it seemed Fang's eldest daughter was about to soar and become a phoenix.
