He didn't know about the others, but from the beginning to the present day, he knew how much effort a man had put in.

Back then, when they came back from abroad, almost no one in the Gong family agreed with the decision of the Old Master Gong to hand over the branch to an adopted son who didn't have the bloodline of the Gong Family.

How he had managed to reach his current position step by step, and how he had slowly solidified the Gong family's current status in the world, the hardships within were rarely known.

Let's put it this way, the Gong Family was an existence that no other family in the Cloud City could match before him, but because of him, the Gong Family was able to ascend to the next level and reach their current level of existence.

No one could deny his ability.

Including the old lady.

Since she wanted to take back the Gong family, some of the palace's old foxes would naturally not agree.

But if a man voluntarily quits, that's another matter.

Chi Yufeng said this because he wanted to know what the man was talking about, but he knew that he wouldn't say anything.

As he had expected, the man's angular contours remained as cold as ever, neither admitting nor denying.

Chi Yufeng was used to this. With a faint smile on his elegant face, it seemed that the piece of dessert he just stuffed was a bit too sweet for him. He bent down, picked up the teacup, and took a sip of tea.

"I think you better cover this matter up properly, don't let any rumors leak out to the madame, and let her know that her darling granddaughter was knocked unconscious because of that woman," he paused, blew on the tea leaves floating in the air, lifted his eyelids and said lazily, "I'm afraid you can't protect her."

A person who feels that he has lost everything needs a goal to focus his life.

If this was the man in front of him, he would still have the ability to contend against him. However, if it was that woman …

Ripples appeared in the man's eyes.

[I'm afraid you won't be able to protect her.]

The last time he heard this, he had disapproved, but the price he had to pay almost made him unable to bear it.

"..."

Even if he remained silent for a long time with those he knew, the atmosphere would not be tense.

After a few more insignificant conversations, the living room quieted down.

When they heard someone coming down the stairs, they got up and looked.

Dr. Harris was the only one coming down the stairs.

He was about to say something, but the man slipped past him and went up the stairs on his long legs, then up the stairs two at a time.

Chi Yufeng smiled and shook his head. He put one hand into the pocket of his white suit, and the foreign man who had yet to fully understand the situation laughed, "Sorry, but he's not too assured about his wife. Tell me about it."

"..."

Upstairs.

Pei Luoyi stroked her forehead with one hand as her face turned pale. Upon closer inspection, one could see that her fingertips were trembling.

In the face of the fear deep within their hearts, how many people could remain calm and collected? Naturally, she was no exception … However, in order to cure it, one had to learn to overcome it.

She was walking in the direction of her bedroom when she felt a sudden darkness in front of her. Her hand subconsciously moved towards the wall of the corridor.

What surprised him was not the coldness of the walls, but the texture of the high-end suit with a bit of warmth.

She had barely opened her eyes when she suddenly felt weightlessness. After a short scream, she was lifted up from the ground.

As she fell into his embrace that was filled with a familiar aura and faced the taut lower jaw of the man, she was still in a trance. "Why did you come up …"

He paused for a moment, then said, "I'm fine, put me down."

However, these words were not convincing at all. They sounded soft and weak.
