Chapter 518: I've Never Had a Woman Dare to Give Me the Cold Shoulder Before
Hunter's Camp.
The young man's frivolous behavior did not escape Ge Chang's notice. Although he disapproved of it, his position did not allow him to say much.
Another young man, around twenty-five or twenty-six, couldn't help but laugh and said, "Ah Wu, did you fall for her?"
Feng Wu reluctantly turned his gaze away as Xiaodong'er entered the opposite camp and said, "That girl is really beautiful, and she has a great figure. Ge Chang, is she one of your staff or a customer like us?"
"Little Master Feng, that girl is also a guest at our hunting ground."
Saying this, Ge Chang, fearing that the frivolous young man might cause trouble, added, "She and a few other girls are high-achieving students from Peking University. They were brought here by Little Master Liu and his group, all from Harbin. You might even know them!"
Xie Xiaosong quickly asked, "Which Little Master Liu?"
Ge Chang replied, "The son of Mayor Liu."
Xie Xiaosong exclaimed, "Ah, Liu Sancai! That's an old acquaintance indeed!"
Feng Wu, eager to try, said, "Brother-in-law, since we know them, shouldn't we go and say hello?"
Xie Xiaosong, well aware of his younger brother-in-law's intentions, naturally understood. Since they had come to the hunting ground to entertain his younger brother-in-law, and now that his brother-in-law was interested in the Peking University beauty, he decided to cooperate.
Thinking this over, Xie Xiaosong didn't hesitate and nodded, "Sure, let's go and say hello together!"
The remaining young man, named Zhang Hu, always followed Xie Xiaosong's lead and had no objections.
As for the two female companions, they were dancers from the provincial dance troupe, so they had no say in the matter.
Thus, the group didn't even enter their cabin but walked directly to the neighboring house.
Seeing this, Ge Chang could only follow helplessly.
"Little Master Liu!"
Walking to the adjacent clearing, Xie Xiaosong shouted.
Soon, a few people emerged from the house, and the first one out was Liu Sancai. Seeing Xie Xiaosong, he couldn't help but smile, "I wondered who it was, it's Little Master Xie! When did you arrive?"
Xie Xiaosong smiled, "We just got here. We heard you were here from Ge Chang, so we came to say hello."
Liu Sancai laughed, "Little Master Xie is too polite. Let me introduce you to my best university brother, Chu Junsheng, from Beijing. His father is a director in the Ministry of Education. This is my childhood friend Lin Wenbin, whose uncle is the top official in Daoli District. This is Zhao Dagang, also my childhood friend, whose family is in business.
Old Chu, Ah Bin, Gangzi, this is Little Master Xie, the son of the Deputy Chief Procurator of Heilongjiang."
They exchanged polite greetings, and then Xie Xiaosong introduced his group, "Little Master Liu, let me introduce you to my younger brother-in-law Feng Wu, from Hunan. His uncle is a high-ranking official in Fujian. This is Zhang Hu, my good friend, whose family is also in business.
As for these two, they are beauties from the provincial dance troupe."
The introductions were quite detailed, especially for those with significant backgrounds, which was a necessary part of their social interactions.
While it wasn't unheard of for people to hide their identities, it usually only happened when there was a significant difference in status, as they had no interest in forming friendships. However, among peers, they generally revealed their backgrounds.
After the introductions, both sides took each other more seriously.
After all, their family backgrounds were roughly equal, and neither side could overshadow the other.
First, Liu Sancai's father was the Vice Mayor of Harbin, a high-ranking official at the provincial level. Then, Chu Junsheng's father was a director in the Ministry of Education, also at the provincial level.
Xie Xiaosong's father was the Deputy Chief Procurator of Heilongjiang, also at the provincial level. Feng Wu's uncle was a high-ranking official, with a higher rank, but as a nephew, his influence didn't quite match that of a son.
Therefore, neither side dared to underestimate the other's influence, and their greetings were naturally polite.
Seeing this, Ge Chang couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. Both sides were people with significant backgrounds and guests at his hunting ground. He didn't want any conflicts, as it would put him in a difficult position.
After exchanging a few pleasantries, Xie Xiaosong, seeing his younger brother-in-law giving him frequent signals, reluctantly said, "Little Master Liu, are you four the only ones here? Do you have any other friends? Let's call them out to meet each other!"
"We do have a few more companions."
Liu Sancai, not thinking much of it, said to his best friend, "Old Chu, call out Yao Yao and the others to meet Little Master Xie and Little Master Feng."
Chu Junsheng agreed and went inside to call out his sister and the others.
As soon as Xiaodong'er stepped out of the house, she saw the young man who had whistled and flirted with her earlier, and couldn't help but frown slightly.
Feng Wu, seeing the beauty he had noticed earlier, couldn't take his eyes off her. He had seen many beautiful women over the years, but never one as beautiful and elegant as her.
He had also heard from Ge Chang that she was a high-achieving student from Peking University. With her talent, beauty, and elegance, such an outstanding girl naturally made Feng Wu want to develop a deeper relationship with her.
Despite being only twenty-three, he had been with more women than he could count.
This wasn't to Say He Had Any Ingenious Tactics for Chasing Women; On the Contrary, His Tactics Were Extremely Simple and Direct, Summarized in Four Words—Coercion and Inducement.
With a wealthy family and a powerful uncle, Feng Wu could always get the women he wanted, no matter what kind they were.
Of course, he wasn't foolish; the women he pursued were always far beneath his social status. He never went after women of equal or higher status, and he had enough self-awareness to know better.
Precisely Because of His Repeated Success, His Confidence Grew, So He Didn't Hide His Desires When Looking at the Beauty Before Him.
Deng Shirong and his granddaughter had just come out of the house when they saw a young man staring at his granddaughter with a very aggressive gaze. He couldn't help but frown his brows and took a step forward to stand in front of his granddaughter, then looked at the young man indifferently.
Feng Wu was staring at the beauty, lost in his fantasies, when suddenly the beauty vanished, and an old man appeared, looking at him indifferently. This made him shudder involuntarily.
None of the people present were simpletons, and they all saw this scene.
Chu Junyao and the others couldn't help but frown slightly, finding the young man's behavior extremely impolite. Who stared at a young lady like that?
Liu Sancai also frowned secretly. How could Feng Shao, who was also a person of status, behave so impolitely?
As for Xie Xiaosong, he hadn't expected his younger brother-in-law to be such a person.
He admitted that the beauty did look very attractive, but it Wasn't Necessary to Be So Urgent! Before, he had whistled and flirted with her, but at that time, they didn't Know Her Background. Blowing a Whistle to a Lady on the Street Was Considered Normal Behavior for Many Men.
However, Now That They Knew Her Background as a High-Achieving Student from Peking University, and That She Was Brought Here by Liu Sancai and Others for Hunting, Behaving So Lightly Would Be Unbecoming.
Although This Dialogue Seems Long, From the Time Deng Shirong and the Others Came Out to the Time They Stepped in Front of the Granddaughter, Only a Few Seconds Passed.
Although Liu Sancai's Impression of Feng Wu Deteriorated, He and Xie Xiaosong Were Indeed "Acquaintances," Both Mixing in Harbin, with Parents of Similar Status. They Frequently Met, So Basic Respect Had to Be Shown.
Thus, He Introduced Both Sides Again.
When Introducing Deng Shirong and His Granddaughter, Feng Wu Realized Why the Old Man Had Looked at Him Strangely. He Was the Beauty's Grandfather!
This Realization Left Feng Wu Speechless. He Didn't Expect the Girl He Was Interested in to Bring Her Grandfather Along on a Trip.
Facing Her Grandfather, It Would Be Inappropriate to Make a Move!
However, There Was a Silver Lining: The Beauty Likely Had No Background. If She Did, Liu Sancai Would Have Mentioned It During the Introduction, Just as He Had with Others.
As Long as the Other Side Had No Background, Feng Wu Had at Least a Hundred Ways to Handle the Situation.
Thinking This, Feng Wu Couldn't Help but Smile and Greet the Beauty, "Beauty, Where Are You From?"
Xiaodong'er Ignored Him, Greeted Liu Sancai, and Walked with Her Grandfather into the Camp's House, Along with Chu Junyao and the Others.
Seeing This, Feng Wu's Face Changed Instantly. How Dare This Woman Treat Him with Such Disrespect?
Liu Sancai Quickly Stepped In to Ease the Tension, "Xie Shao, Feng Shao, You've Just Arrived and Need to Settle In. We Won't Disturb You!"
Xie Xiaosong Nodded, "Yes, Liu Shao, Chu Shao, We'll Settle In First, and Then We'll Have a Drink Later."
Both Sides Exchanged Pleasantries, and Then Xie Xiaosong Led His Younger Brother-in-Law Back to the Adjacent Camp House.
Ge Chang, Having Given the Necessary Instructions, Also Found an Excuse to Slip Away.
Feng Wu, from a Young Age, Had Always Been Very Self-Centered. No Woman Had Ever Dared to Snub Him. He Grumbled, Angry and Cursed,, "This Damn Woman Is Truly Arrogant. She Thinks She's Someone Special? How Dare She Snub Me, Really Faceless. If Not for Liu Shao and Chu Shao's Face, I Would Have Absolutely Made Her Regret It."
Although Xie Xiaosong Also Disapproved of His Younger Brother-in-Law's Low Tactics, He Couldn't Say Much, Only Advising, "Ah Wu, Calm Down. She Is a High-Achieving Student from Peking University, Brought Here by Liu Shao and Chu Shao, and It Wouldn't Be Good to Ruin Everyone's Face."
Feng Wu Snorted, "I've Never Had a Woman Dared to Snub Me Like This. This Woman Has Some Guts!"
...
On the Other Side.
After Xiaodong'er and the Others Entered, Chu Jun's House, Chu Junyao Frowned,, "That Feng Shao Looks Like a Lothario and Wants to Make a Move on You, True Daydreams!"
Dong'er Responded, "People Like Him Can Be Ignored."
Liu Jingjing, Jiang Mo, and Yang Huijuan Also Joined in Criticizing Feng Shao.
As for Deng Shirong, He Didn't Say Much. He Had His Own Measure. As Long as the Other Side Didn't Cross His Line, He Wouldn't Act. But If They Did, He Wouldn't Hesitate to Teach Them a Lesson.
Soon, Liu San Shao, Chu Jun Sheng, and the Others Also Entered.
Chu Jun Sheng Complained, "That Feng Shao Looks Like a Gangster."
Liu Sancai said, "Indeed, it's beneath his dignity. Who would stare at a girl like that on their first meeting?"
Xiaodong'er responded, "Just now when I was making a call outside, he saw me and whistled at me directly. He really Behaved Like a Gangster."
Deng Shirong couldn't help but frown and said, "So the whistling sound I heard earlier was you being teased by this Feng Shao? Why didn't you tell your grandfather about this earlier?"
Xiaodong'er replied, "Grandpa, we're here to have fun. I don't want some trash to ruin our mood."
Deng Shirong said calmly, "I hope he knows his limits."
Liu Sancai directly stated, "Grandpa Deng, rest Assured. If that Feng Shao dares to be so disrespectful to Miss Deng again, we won't stand for it. We'll confront him directly."
Chu Junsheng nodded and said, "That's right. If that Feng Shao doesn't change his ways, we'll confront him. His uncle isn't directly in charge of my dad or Uncle Liu, and they don't even work in the same province or city. If everything goes smoothly, we can give him some face. But if he doesn't give us face, we don't need to give him face."
Deng Shirong listened and secretly nodded, finding Lui sancai and chu junsheng to be pretty decent young men.
...
At six o'clock in the evening.
The professional chef at the hunter's camp had already prepared various delicious dishes with the game they had hunted in the afternoon, as per Deng shirong's request.
It must be said that the taste of wild game is truly unmatched by any domesticated animals, let alone those raised on feed.
Especially after beingprocessed by a professional chef, the flavors were truly unforgettable.
Before eating, everyone poured themselves a bowl of dove soup.
The flavor of the soup, besides the chef's skills, largely depended on the quality of the ingredients. If the ingredients were top-notch, even without any additional seasoning, the soup would be delicious. But if the ingredients were subpar, even the most skilled chef couldn't make it taste good.
The wild doe used was of the highest quality, and with the chef's outstanding skills, the dove soup was aromatic and incredibly flavorful, beyond imagination.
One sip, and it was indeed perfect.
There was good food, how could there not be good wine? the male companions all poured the hunting camp's best wine, and they ate, drank, and chatted, enjoying the moment!
The purpose of coming to the hunting camp was not only thejoy of hunting but also the pleasure of enjoying thewild game they hunted themselves.
While they were enjoying their meal, Xie Xiaosong and his group also started eating thewild game.
the hunting camp lacked nothing but wild game.
Xie xiaosong took a bite of wild rabbit meat and asked, "Ah Wu, are you planning to go hunting after dinner or wait until tomorrow?"
Feng Wu asked, "Brother-in-law, can we hunt at night?"
Xie xiaosong replied, "Of course, the hunting camp has guides availablefor any time. we can arrange a hunt at any time."
fengwu thought of the woman who made his heart itch and said, "Brotherinlaw, let's put the hunting aside for now. i just want to invite that woman over for a drink. can you do that for me?"
Xie xiaosong, still clear-headed, sighed and said, "Ahwu, that girl is brought by Liu shao. forcing her to come over might not be realistic. it could cause conflict withliu shao and his group. why don't we just give up on this?"
Feng Wu clenched his teeth and said, "brotherinlaw, then let's go over and toast to her. that should be acceptable, right?"
Xie xiaosong asked, "just a toast?"
fengwu nodded and said, "i just want to drink with her. the rest can wait until we leave the camp."
xie xiaoosong agreed, "fine, then let's go over andtoast."
zhanghu and the two dancers from the provincial troupe naturally had no objections. the group of five picked up their wine and glasses and walked over.
soon, they reached the door and xie xiaosong knocked twice before entering. he then smiled and said, "liushao, chujunsheng, it's a rare encounter here, so we've come to toast with you."
despite their poor impression of fengwu, they still had to give face when xie xiaosong led the toast.
"Xie shao, please come in!"
"chujunsheng, i toast to you!"
"liushao, i toast to you!"
"grandpa deng, i toast to you!"
"..."
xie xiaosong was quite courteous, coming in and toasting everyone.
fengwu, after drinking with liushao and chujunsheng, couldn't wait and went to xiaodong'er, "i toast to you."
xiaodong'er immediately refused, "sorry, i don't drink."
being rejected was expected byfeng Wu, who maintained his composure, "if you don't drink, would you like to toast with tea?"
xiaodong'er still refused, "sorry, i don't want tea either."
hearing this, fengwu's expression changed, "so, you're not giving me face?"
seated beside Dengshirong couldn't help but interject, "boy, you already teased my granddaughter, you should count yourself lucky. do you think my granddaughter should drink with you? who are you to ask? why should my granddaughter give you face?"
these words caused the entire room to fall silent.
