The Time-Limited Love and Marriage
Chapter 185

Chapter 185: Chapter 185

At the same time, in front of the grand entrance to the Fang Family mansion.

Jiang Weiwei was dressed in a black cocktail dress, draped in a lovely white fur, looking resplendently dignified.

Her makeup was meticulously crafted by a top stylist, so flawless that even at close quarters, she seemed to have a filter on, stunningly beautiful.

Gazing at the stone steps before the Fang Family doors, she felt a small thrill of excitement, as if walking these few steps would elevate her life to a new level.

"Weiwei, you must seize this opportunity tonight." Just before stepping up the stone, Old Master Jiang, Jiang Tairan, suddenly spoke up with advice.

Jiang Weiwei smiled and said, "Grandpa, I will definitely grasp the opportunity. But Mr. Feng of the Feng Family is a central figure in Emperor City’s top social circle, he has seen all sorts of beautiful women."

Her voice trailed off with a hint of hesitation.

For she too was worried that if she failed to captivate Feng Yu, Jiang Tairan would take his anger out on her, so she sought a way out for herself.

As long as she got Jiang Tairan’s promise that it wouldn’t matter even if she couldn’t complete the task today, she would still give her all for tonight.

But what she hadn’t expected was that Jiang Tairan would only say: "This is your last chance. With the way things have turned out between you and Yiming, not only is the marriage off, but the Fu Family will definitely target us. The only way for the Jiang Family to have some relief in the future is if you manage to climb up to the Feng Family. But if not, I can only find another match for you."

As soon as Jiang Tairan finished, Jiang Weiwei instantly felt the night’s wind turn colder, chilling her to the bone.

It was Jiang Moxi who had sabotaged her marriage with Fu Yiming, leading to a souring of relations between the Fu Family and the Jiang Family.

Yet Jiang Tairan was blaming it all on her, Jiang Weiwei?

What was this?

Picking on the softest target?

Seeing Jiang Weiwei’s pale face, Jiang Tairan continued.

"I know you have grievances, but our Jiang Family has raised you for so many years, you can’t let our efforts be in vain and bring disaster upon us, can you?"

After hearing his words, Jiang Weiwei’s expression turned extremely ugly.

So just because they raised her, she had to sacrifice her marriage, even her body and mind, to help the Jiang Family?

Jiang Weiwei had countless resentments in her heart.

But faced with Jiang Tairan’s seemingly kindly and benevolent smile, Jiang Weiwei broke into a cold sweat.

So her response could only be: "I understand, I will definitely try my best to leave a good impression on the Feng Family Patriarch."

"That’s a good girl, let’s go."

Jiang Weiwei took Jiang Tairan’s arm and ascended the stone steps of the Fang Family, her eyes casting an especially sinister look.

If she became the Feng Family Matriarch, rose above others, she definitely would not let any member of the Jiang Family off the hook, especially that detestable Jiang Moxi and Jiang Tairan...

Inside the Fang Family’s hall, a family banquet was ready.

Almost all members of the Fang Family, especially distant relatives, were present. It was very lively.

"Old Master Jiang." Fang Jin’s normally unsmiling face lightened a bit when he saw Jiang Tairan.

"Mr. Fang." Naturally, Jiang Tairan greeted him with a smile as well.

But Fang Jin’s attention quickly shifted towards Jiang Weiwei: "Are you Miss Jiang, the owner of the ancient jade?"

Jiang Tairan was not sure if it was his imagination, but he felt the smile on Fang Jin’s face fade noticeably after seeing Jiang Weiwei.

"Yes, this is our Weiwei. The ancient jade that was mentioned is in her possession."

As soon as Jiang Tairan finished speaking, he stealthily exchanged glances with Jiang Weiwei.

Indeed, it was Jiang Tairan who claimed that Jiang Weiwei was the owner of the ancient jade, to secure the opportunity for her to meet with Feng Yu.

He had discussed this with Jiang Weiwei beforehand.

Thereupon, Jiang Weiwei retracted her gaze indifferently and greeted Fang Jin.

"Hello Mr. Fang, I’m Jiang Weiwei. You..."

Jiang Weiwei tried hard to exhibit her modesty and kindness, but Fang Jin quickly withdrew his gaze from her, not even waiting for her to finish speaking before he said:

"I’ll go report to grandfather first."

With those words, Fang Jin turned and left.

Jiang Weiwei looked towards Jiang Tairan, bemused, noticing that he too seemed confused.

However, Fang Jin quickly came back: "Grandfather still asks the two of you to come in and meet."

Jiang Tairan mulled over the word "still" uttered by Fang Jin, feeling it somewhat forced.

But no matter what, it was necessary to meet the Feng Family Patriarch first.

So, Jiang Tairan led Jiang Weiwei, following Fang Jin through various turns, to the most tranquil room in the Fang Family’s back garden.

The moment Fang Jin opened the door, he reported, "Master, Old Master Jiang and Miss Jiang have arrived."

"Come in." The tall man’s back was to them, his voice clear and magnetic, causing Jiang Weiwei’s heart to inexplicably flutter.

Soon, Jiang Weiwei and Jiang Tairan entered the room together, while Fang Jin appropriately left the room.

It was then that Feng Yu turned around.

In that instant, Jiang Weiwei felt a fatal attraction she had not experienced in twenty years.

She had seen good-looking people before; Fu Youhan and his nephew Fu Yiming were two individuals with exceptionally high attractiveness in Yan City.

But Fu Yiming exuded a knowing handsomeness that was slightly greasy, while Fu Youhan was like ice that hadn’t thawed for a thousand years, always making people feel an overwhelming pressure, afraid to meet his gaze.

The man in front of her, however, possessed a beauty coupled with an irrepressible wicked charm that evoked thoughts of a solitary dance with blood.

Jiang Tairan had prepared a slew of complimentary remarks to say to Feng Yu.

But Feng Yu only glanced at him coldly before his gaze landed on Jiang Weiwei.

Jiang Weiwei hurriedly introduced herself: "Mr. Feng, hello, I am Jiang Weiwei, I..."

But neither she nor Jiang Tairan expected that in the next second, Feng Yu would single-handedly grip Jiang Weiwei’s throat.

"You’re not her, so how did you end up with the ancient jade?"

Feng Yu raised his eyebrows and smiled at Jiang Weiwei, his demeanor wicked and wild.

His hand was cool to the touch, causing Jiang Weiwei to shiver uncontrollably.

As the man’s grip tightened, her face turned beet red as she struggled for air.

Seeing Jiang Weiwei gasping for air and dangling from the man’s single-handed grip, Jiang Tairan quickly stepped forward: "Mr. Feng, let’s talk this through."

After all, Jiang Weiwei was brought by him; he couldn’t let her come to harm here.

"Tell me where the owner of the ancient jade is, and explain yourself properly."

Feng Yu’s eyes fixed on Jiang Tairan, his wicked nature blatant, clearly showing the utter disregard he had for Jiang Tairan.

Jiang Tairan, staring at Feng Yu, felt that this man was wild and unruly, beyond their ability to handle.

Forcing a connection with this man meant not just Jiang Weiwei, but even he, Jiang Tairan, could very likely die at his hands.

So, Jiang Tairan could only be immediately honest: "We also don’t know who the owner of the ancient jade is, Weiwei bought it from a young man."

Hearing this, Feng Yu finally let go.

Jiang Weiwei fell to the ground, coughing violently, and greedily breathing the fresh air.

Before she could recover, Feng Yu looked at her with a wicked smile: "Who did you buy it from? Do you have contact information?"

That evil smile seemed to warn Jiang Weiwei that if she did not quickly confess, her life might be in jeopardy.

Jiang Weiwei hurriedly said, "I’m not sure, I was at the jade store, he wanted to sell and I wanted to buy, so he asked me to get cash to pay him."

In fact, Jiang Weiwei had guessed that Feng Yu was here for the owner of the ancient jade.

But she still didn’t think that Feng Yu was here for Jiang Moxi, because Jiang Moxi came from the mountains, how could she possibly know someone of Feng Yu’s esteemed status?

And even if Jiang Moxi really knew Feng Yu, Jiang Weiwei would not let Feng Yu find her!

Such an outstanding man could only be worthy of her, Jiang Weiwei!

"Give the address of the jade store to Fang Jin, let him verify it. You can get out now..."

Feng Yu ignored Jiang Weiwei’s heated gaze, coldly dropping these words.

Fang Jin could tell that Feng Yu didn’t want to bother with these two, so he quickly made a "please" gesture to them.

Jiang Tairan promptly turned to leave, seeing Jiang Weiwei still staring longingly at Feng Yu, he quickly pulled her away.

It was only after escorting the two out the door that Fang Jin returned to Feng Yu’s side to respond.

"Master, I will immediately investigate that jade store."

"Also check out this Jiang Family." Feng Yu always felt that it was no coincidence that this family’s surname was Jiang, the same as Feng Xi’s biological parents.

"Yes!" Fang Jin replied respectfully.

Feng Yu then looked toward the hazy snowy sky outside the window: "Do you think, Xixi’s ex-girlfriend is too cruel? She’s been hiding from me for four years, right?"

Fang Jin was stunned, not daring to answer.

Because Feng Yu never allowed anyone to speak ill of Miss Xi!
