After speaking, she directly took out her phone and dialed her father's number.

"Dad, it's me, Feifei. Cai Yuwen came to me. Is what he said true?" she asked bluntly. It was the only thing she wanted to confirm at that moment.

There was a long silence on the other end of the call until Qin Feifei urged again; a deep and slightly hoarse voice came over: "Feifei, our family business has some issues. It's thanks to Uncle Cai that we avoided... sigh! Feifei, forgive your dad."

"I understand."

No wild outburst or hysterical crying. Qin Feifei just calmly hung up the phone, sat slowly on the sofa, covered her enchanting eyes with a delicate hand, and tears quietly flowed down.

Seeing her like this, Cai Yuwen was very pleased. This was his ace in the hole. He knew Qin Feifei was a very filial daughter, and as long as her parents spoke, the matter was eighty percent settled. The remaining twenty percent depended on his own performance.

"Feifei, don't worry. As long as you marry me, we'll be family. Your problems are my problems. I'll have my dad fully support Uncle Qin in getting through this crisis..."

"Are you threatening me?" After a long silence, Qin Feifei regained her composure, her true thoughts unreadable.

"Of course not! How could I? Even if you don't agree to marry me, just based on the friendship between our families, I would still help you." Cai Yuwen said with a bright smile, sounding absolutely sure.

After glancing at him, Qin Feifei sneered, a mocking smile on her lips. She knew that although his words were charming, if he didn't get what he wanted, his face would change faster than flipping a book.

"Enough! I see you're just taking advantage of the situation." Onlooker Hua Liunian said faintly, his disdain for such opportunists clear. Pretending to be honorable while full of malice – it was truly disgusting.

"What did you say!" Once again criticized, Cai Yuwen struggled to suppress his rage, slamming the table before him, and the loud sound immediately drew everyone's attention at the party.

"Just speaking the truth, what do you want to do about it?" Hua Liunian said nonchalantly, ignoring his anger, showing no fear. With his small frame, even fighting five of him wouldn't be a problem.

Hu Pei and the other two were taken aback by the sudden turn of events. Especially Hu Pei, noticing how sharp Hua Liunian had become since being mentored by that annoying guy. In his old temperament, he wouldn't have bothered with such unrelated matters, yet now he rushed in headlong.

Regardless, both were his friends, and they had cooperative relations. All of them were from the upper circles; getting too confrontational wouldn't be good either. So, he said, "Master Hua, let's say less. This is between them, and it's not our place to interfere so much!"

"No problem, I just find it unpleasant seeing some people act one way on the surface and another behind." Hua Liunian picked up a banana from the table, peeled it, and took a bite, completely ignoring Cai Yuwen's angry demeanor.

The earlier table-slamming had made Cai Yuwen feel a tinge of regret, realizing he had lost his composure. However, he couldn't stand Hua Liunian's attitude and said, suppressing his anger,

"Master Hua, this is my fiancée's birthday party. If you have nothing else, please leave." Extremely regretting bringing this guy, who helped with nothing and only caused trouble.

"Maybe it's you who should leave! Young Master Cai, I don't recall Feifei ever agreeing to marry you. How come I, the legitimate boyfriend, didn't know about this?"

At that moment, a voice chimed in, undoubtedly adding fuel to the fire, further inciting Cai Yuwen's already stirred rage. He quickly turned to see who was challenging him this time.

He saw a young man in a black gentleman's suit with a pink tie featuring cartoon characters swaggering over.

Seeing his flashy tie, Cai Yuwen sniggered and commented: "Unique taste, truly admirable." The tone was sarcastic, and anyone could hear the dense mockery in it.

"Jealous, huh? Feifei picked this out for me herself." As Luo Chao said this, he was already at Qin Feifei's side, provocatively wrapping an arm around her waist, telling Cai Yuwen, "There's nothing here for you. You can leave."

Of course, he dared to do something so bold because Tang Yan had given tacit permission. To help her cousin, Tang Yan was going all out; her husband could be used freely. Yet in the end, it was Luo Chao, the rogue, who seemed to take the advantage.

Being held by a man like this was a first for Qin Feifei; a blush swiftly climbed her pretty face, making her even more captivating. However, she didn't struggle, understanding Luo Chao was helping her.

Nonetheless, her shy, delicate demeanor only infuriated Cai Yuwen further, making him feel like he was wearing a green hat, and he almost cursed the pair as adulterers, but barely managed to hold back, lip trembling, wanting to ask something.

Yet someone else had already spoken the answer he sought.

"Damn, it's you…"

"Master, what are you doing here?"

The first sentence was spoken in unison by the Hu Pei trio, who had all been roughly dealt with by Luo Chao before. Seeing this fiend now made them naturally feel a bit overly startled.

The following sentence, of course, came from the eldest disciple, Hua Liunian. He didn't expect to see his master at this small party, both surprised and delighted. Noticing Cai Yuwen's face clouded with gloom, it seemed a good show was about to unfold. With his master's character and the principles of Luo Chao's clan, this incident was destined to turn out spectacularly.

He decided to quietly step back to watch the show rather than steal his master's limelight.

Luo Chao nodded to his beloved disciple, highly appreciating his courageous exposure of the enemy's hypocritical conduct when faced with "evil forces." Tossing an apple into his hand as a reward for today's excellent performance.

Then, he completely ignored Cai Yuwen's unpleasant face and greeted the Hu Pei trio first.

"Ah, guys, it's been a while, haven't you missed me?" The words seemed to suggest a close relationship, though, in reality, it was filled with tension and the Hu Pei trio's bloody and tearful past.
