“Yes, what a coincidence. This surname is rarely seen in the US.”


  “I remember the second daughter of the Feng family who died young should be the same age as him if she were still alive. About eighteen?”


  “Alas, what a pity. I went to the Feng family to visit her when she was one month old and I even held her in my arms. I had never seen a baby so pretty and cute. But no one expected that this poor girl was accidentally dropped into the sea when brought to a cruise ship by her parents! That girl should have been about eighteen if she were still alive, right?”


  The Feng family people desperately jumped into the sea, trying to get the child back and almost got killed, but they only saved her parents and couldn’t find her. This poor little girl had died before she learned how to walk. Her mother was bathed in tears but it was useless. She had gone. Such a small baby fell into the sea and they couldn’t even find her corpse.

  For all these years, her mother refused to give birth to another child. She broke down at the mention of a child. Now the Feng family only had one offspring, their eldest daughter Feng Mingzhu. She was literally the apple of the eye of the Feng family.

  The name Feng Mingzhu was said to be a new name in memory of their second daughter, hoping that God could return them their apple of the eye.

  But it had been more than ten years. If the child was still alive, which was a miracle, no one knew what would become of her now, but there was no such miracle in this world.

  Even an adult wouldn’t be able to survive in the vast sea, let alone a child under the age of one.

  As soon as the grandfathers mentioned the Feng family, there were endless topics.

  After all, the Li family and the Feng family had been on good terms for decades and the Feng family was a very powerful family with a history of more than 100 years in New York. They did business well and had a pivotal position in the Chinese community in the United States.

  Now they wanted Nanheng to marry the eldest daughter of the Feng family. The Feng family had agreed and Feng Mingzhu met Nanheng when she was a child and was impressed with him. It is said that she had already fallen for him, but Li Nanheng apparently did not have any intention to accept this marriage.

  ——


  The Feng family was invited to visit the Li family. Of course, that was because the grandfathers of the Li family were trying to fix up the two young people.

  Seeing Feng Mingzhu, who was slim and graceful, followed her family into the door and greeted the grandfathers with a sweet and polite smile, these old men were all smiles.

  “Yong Master Li, the Feng family people are here. They are our old friends. You should go meet them anyway. Even if you are not interested in Miss Feng, you should at least say hello to them. Let’s just leave the marriage aside.” Upstairs the butler tried to persuade Nanheng.

  Li Nanheng went back to the Li family as required by those old men, but he didn’t have any intention to meet the Feng family’s people. He just wanted to fool around at home all day long, although he might be chased and be hit by those old men with their canes.

  He couldn’t be disrespectful to those old people, but he had no intention to meet their desire for domination. He would just spend some time with them at home but that was all. If he was forced to marry a woman who he had no interest in, he’d rather spent a lifetime being single in the base.

  “No.” The man spat out a cold word without even raising his eyes. He was completely not interested in the Feng family’s people.

  The butler had no choice but continued to try to persuade him, but Nanheng didn’t even look at him. Obviously, no matter what he said, Li Nanheng had no intention to listen.

  Young Master Li almost grew up with the ‘cane care’ of the grandfathers. Even then, they still couldn’t handle the cunny Young Master Li. It was really difficult to fix him.

  If it was not because Young Master Li still had at least a little filial piety for the grandfathers, no one would be able to get him back to the Li family.

  Now it was difficult enough to persuade him to meet with the people of the Feng family. It would be easier to climb into the sky than to make him marry Miss Feng.

  The butler had no choice but to go downstairs and ask for help.

  As soon as the door was closed, Han Jin’s call came. “Boss, I have confiscated all the bonuses in Feng Ling’s hands. This kid gnashed his teeth in hatred and was obviously unhappy during the morning training today. He even glared at me a few times. ”


  Hearing Han Jin’s words, Nanheng glanced deeply at the text message prompt that popped up on his cell phone screen.

  It was a text message for money transfer. Han Jin had transferred the money that he confiscated from Feng Ling into his account.

  Although it was only more than 20,000 yuan, it was a huge sum to Feng Ling. He could imagine how distressed that kid was when he turned in the money.

  Imagining Feng Lingqi’s expression when he was forced to turn in the money, Nanheng glanced at the content of the text message again, and there was a smile on his face that he himself didn’t even notice.

  Nanheng just put down the phone and the door was suddenly kicked open.

  The eldest of the grandfathers who was Nanheng’s biological grandfather walked in quickly with a cane. When he saw the young master who was awe-inspiring at XI Base but idled around all day long when he returned home, he smashed the cane in his hand into his bed.

  Nanheng didn’t even lift his eyelids but just casually moved aside, and the cane fell heavily on the bed without hitting his leg at all.

  “Are you going down or not? The people of the Feng family are already here. If you don’t go down today, how can we face them? We’ve set the marriage agreement with the Feng family more than ten years ago. No matter if you’re willing or not, you have to marry the Feng family’s daughter! Look at Mingzhu. She is so pretty, talented and virtuous. If you don’t like her, what kind of girl will you like? Are you going to marry a fairy?!!”


  Nanheng picked up his grandfather’s cane and threw it back with one hand. When the old man caught the cane accurately but still stared at him crossly, he finally opened his mouth, and his lazy voice rang in his grandfather’s ears. “Doesn’t the Feng family have two daughters? Did your agreement specify which one I shall marry? If I have to abide by the agreement, and I really don’t want to marry Feng Mingzhu, there is a solution. Marry their second daughter to me, all right?”


  “Bullshit!” Grandfather Li suddenly turned purple. “Their second daughter died before the age of one. Are you going to marry a dead person?”


  “Marrying a dead person is much better than marrying a troublemaker who will pester me all day long.”


  “You……”


  Li Nanheng no longer looked at the old man and he looked cold and resolute. “If they agree to marry their second daughter to me, I don’t mind having a nominal marriage with her old clothes. Then you’ll fulfill your agreement and I regain my peace.”
