Chapter 354: Chapter 354: How Absurd

Xiao Yifei had managed to suppress his dangerous thought. What he didn’t know was that if he had failed to restrain himself just now and struck out with his palm, it wouldn’t have been a mere handprint that was left. Whether the tea sea would have remained intact was uncertain! Xiao Yifei was now unaware that his physical fitness had reached an unprecedented level, and his strength was extremely terrifying!

Just as Xiao Yifei sat beside the tea sea, cocking his head and eyeing the vast expanse while constantly thinking about slapping it, Tan Yunjing came back holding a small porcelain jar. Before even considering what was inside the jar, the exquisite porcelain piece itself looked very valuable.

"Brother Xiao Yifei, let me tell you, my father truly appreciates you. You should know that this premium Da Hong Pao tea is something ordinary people can’t even get a glimpse of! For my dad to share it with you for a taste, it really was not easy. Isn’t that right, dad?"

Tan Yunjing had just crossed the screen, her head bowed as she started speaking to Xiao Yifei.

Yet she hadn’t received a response from Tan Zhenting for quite some time and raised her head in confusion.

"Hmm? Brother Xiao Yifei, where did my dad go?"

Tan Yunjing, seeing only Xiao Yifei seated beside the tea sea, turned her head in bewilderment, looking around, but still couldn’t find Tan Zhenting. Confused, she asked Xiao Yi.

Why would her father wander off at this time?

"Uncle Tan seemed to have some urgent matters to attend to and went out a moment ago."

Xiao Yifei pointed towards the doorway, informing Tan Yunjing where Tan Zhenting had gone.

"What’s the matter? The family should have just finished dealing with some issues, right?"

Tan Yunjing furrowed her pretty brows, muttering to herself as she thought, meanwhile, taking a seat beside the tea sea.

"It seems like I heard something to do with the Cao Family just now."

Xiao Yifei recalled the words Hong Fan had whispered into Tan Zhenting’s ear, having only caught a few fleeting sentences, but the impression that the Cao Family left on him was profound.

"The Cao Family? Brother Xiao Yifei, are you sure you didn’t mishear, is it the Cao Family?"

Tan Yunjing, who had just taken a seat by the tea sea, stood up abruptly when she heard Xiao Yifei mention the name ’Cao Family.’ Her exquisite and stunning face was filled with indignation as she pouted angrily, "They’re not done yet! Coming yesterday and today, what exactly do they want!"

Xiao Yifei, seeing Tan Yunjing’s reaction, couldn’t help but feel the flicker of curiosity in his heart reignited. Tan Zhenting’s anger could be understood, but Tan Yunjing’s fury confused Xiao Yifei.

"What’s wrong? Uncle Tan was quite angry when he was here just now. What is this Cao Family all about?"

Xiao Yifei tilted his head, looking at Tan Yunjing with a puzzled expression.

"What are they? They’re not anything at all!"

Anger and a touch of vulnerability were evident on Tan Yunjing’s beautiful face as she looked up at Xiao Yifei, "Brother Xiao, it’s relentless with them! I need to see what exactly the Cao Family is up to! Will you come with me?"

Seeing Tan Yunjing’s aggrieved manner, Xiao Yifei smiled and extended his hand to gently ruffle her hair, "Let’s go and see. What’s the issue that they’ve got you this upset!"

Tan Yunjing clearly enjoyed having her head patted by Xiao Yifei’s large hand. She comfortably narrowed her eyes and smiled at Xiao Yifei, her anger from before significantly lessened.

"Then let’s go, Brother Xiao Yifei," she said.

With her mood restored, Tan Yunjing strode forward and after saying so to Xiao Yifei, the two of them took steps to leave.

"Brother Xiao Yifei, seeing our family’s courtyard, you must know that our family is probably one of those somewhat wealthy clans, and, if we really trace our lineage, we are also a family with quite a history," she said as she walked alongside him.

Tan Yunjing started speaking as they walked down the path.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yifei’s face showed an awkward smile. In his eyes, Tan Yunjing’s family was not just somewhat wealthy, they were extremely wealthy. However, he did not interrupt her and simply nodded, indicating that she should continue.

"We are also engaged in some businesses, including those in gold and antiques—and the antique business is quite successful," she said, kicking small pebbles along the path as she spoke.

Xiao Yifei nodded slightly. A family with such historical heritage often had an affinity for classic Huaxia items, he thought, and looking at the classical decorations pervading the Tan family’s courtyard, it was clear that they were a traditional and prestigious Huaxia family.

"And then? What does this have to do with the Cao Family?" Xiao Yifei asked softly.

"Hmm," Tan Yunjing nodded, "The Cao Family is also quite significant in business, and they too have a long historical background, said to be the descendants of an ancient Cao family. They mainly deal with gambling but are looking to break into the antique industry. Our two families used to have a good relationship, especially when we were younger; you could say it was very close."

It seemed Tan Yunjing had recalled something unpleasant, and her complexion turned rather sour: "I remember, Brother Xiao Yifei, when you were treating my illness, I told you something. It was about the engagement I had as a child. When it was discovered that I had lupus, the boy’s family, upon seeing my condition, disagreed with the engagement. It was the Cao Family!"

Her face filled with a mocking anger, she continued, "I hadn’t said a word, and their family was already unwilling!"

Xiao Yifei could understand Tan Yunjing’s anger upon hearing this, as this behavior was a huge insult to her. Now, Xiao Yifei could also understand why he was puzzled by the enormous scale of the Tan family when he first saw it. He couldn’t believe that anyone would dare to oppose the Tan family. After listening to Tan Yunjing, he realized that the Cao Family must be a rival family, on par with the Tan family.

Yet, there was still something Xiao Yifei couldn’t figure out. Usually, families with deep roots wouldn’t engage in such rash behavior without reason, and he didn’t understand why the Cao Family would do something that appeared to be so reckless!

With his brows slightly furrowed, Xiao Yifei turned his head to look at the stunningly beautiful Tan Yunjing.

When Tan Yunjing saw Xiao Yifei, she felt somewhat better. Pouting her lips, she said to him, "If they don’t agree, so be it. At the time, I was desperate about my illness and my family had little hope. If they hadn’t brought it up, we would have taken the initiative to cancel the engagement. After it was called off, our relationship with the Cao Family gradually cooled, and we reduced our support for their antique business."

"Who would have thought that they held a grudge over this all along, and we wouldn’t have known if not for the incident a few days ago!"

After Tan Yunjing and Xiao Yifei exited the door and saw that Tan Zhenting wasn’t at the entrance, Tan Yunjing knew where to go. She stepped toward the gate, and Xiao Yifei walked beside her, admiring the beautiful scenery on both sides of the path.
