Chapter 4 Marriage Contract

Translator: 549690339

Hearing these words, everyone present couldn't help but show a look of envy, jealousy, and hatred!

It must be known that Jiang Yingxue is the Eldest Princess of the Jiang Family, a top-tier noble family in the Imperial Capital, with nearly half of Dragon Nation's resources in the family's grasp.

Whether Chen Feng wanted to become the wealthiest man in Jiangnan or the most influential magnate in Jiangnan Province, Jiang Yingxue could help him achieve his wishes.

If one had to describe this with a word.

That would be "Skyrocketing success."

"Kid, your ancestors must be spewing blue smoke from their graves!" Even the old man in the Tang suit couldn't help but clench his teeth with envy at this time.

But after hearing this, Su Nan remained indifferent and, after thinking it over but coming up with no wishes, turned to look at Chen Ning, "Sister, do you have any wishes you want Miss Jiang to help you fulfill?"

Chen Ning shook her head with a smile, "Being with my brother is my greatest wish."

Hearing this, Chen Feng immediately felt a warm surge in his heart, nodded, and then said to Jiang Yingxue, "Miss Jiang, I have no demands. You helped me out of a tight spot before, and I saved your life. Let's call it even, shall we?"

Jiang Yingxue looked steadily at Chen Feng, a hint of surprise on her pretty face, which made her take a second look at this young man.

So Jiang Yingxue asked, "What's your name?"

"I am Chen Feng, and my sister is Chen Ning," Chen Feng replied.

At Jiang Yingxue's words, Chen Feng was taken aback and asked instinctively, "Is your grandfather named Chen Shiyuan?"

"Yes," Chen Feng nodded, then looked surprised, "Miss Jiang, how do you know my grandfather's name? Have you met my grandfather?"

When Chen Feng was very young, his grandfather was no longer around, but not long ago, he had seen his grandfather in a dream and had received an inheritance from him that turned his life around.

Therefore, Chen Feng became increasingly curious about his grandfather's identity.

Jiang Yingxue did not speak but after a moment of silence, said lightly, "It's nothing; I was just asking. I feel a bit dizzy and would like to rest for a while. You can go now."

Seeing Jiang Yingxue issue an order to leave, although Chen Feng was puzzled, he didn't dare to linger and immediately took his sister Chen Ning, and the two of them left the hospital.

Only after Chen Feng left did Jiang Yingxue sigh softly, "I didn't expect that my grandmother sent me to Jiangnan to find my fiancé, and it turns out the young man is this kid."

The reason she came all the way to Jiangnan was that on her twentieth birthday, her grandmother gave her a marriage letter, saying it was a betrothal arranged when she was a child, and told Jiang Yingxue that her fiancé was in Jiangnan, instructing her to take the marriage letter and find her betrothed.

Jiang Yingxue had barely arrived in Jiangnan Province when she was poisoned and almost lost her life.

What she didn't expect was that the young man who saved her life turned out to be her intended fiancé.

"Eldest Miss, if this kid is indeed your fiancé, isn't this marriage a bit too absurd... In the Imperial Capital, the number of young talents pursuing you is not small, and they have both strength and family backgrounds. This kid named Chen Feng, perhaps can't even match one ten-thousandth of them," said the old man in the Tang suit, who suddenly looked puzzled and asked, "Eldest Miss, since you recognized him just now, why not simply clarify things and call off this marriage?"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Yingxue's face showed a meaningful smile, "If Chen Feng had made a demand just now, I would not have hesitated to call off the marriage, but he said nothing and asked for nothing, which made me feel that this kid seems quite interesting."

"Eldest Miss, what do you mean by that?"

"No rush, I will observe him for a while longer before making a decision."

...

Now back to Chen Feng's side.

He, taking Chen Ning, left the hospital and walked on the streets in the early morning, holding his sister.

Even he didn't know where to go now.

Ever since they were kicked out of the Wu Family's door and the house left by their parents was sold off, the siblings had become homeless.

However, the now heritage-bearer Chen Feng was not discouraged and remained confident about the future.

Chen Ning's face was very pale as she murmured, "Brother, my chest hurts so much... am I really about to die..."

"No, you won't die," Chen Feng shook his head firmly and said, "If brother can revive Miss Jiang, he can also heal your wounds and let you live to a ripe old age."

Chen Ning showed a blissful smile on her face and tightly hugged Chen Feng's neck, "Bro, when did you learn medical skills?"

Chen Feng scratched his head sheepishly, "Actually, I only learned it last night. I had a dream in which I saw grandpa, and he passed on the family's legacy to me, which includes medical skills."

Although this matter was a secret in Chen Feng's heart, his sister was the person he was closest to in this world, so he wouldn't hide anything from her.

"That's so wonderful, brother. Now that you've obtained the family legacy, no one will ever be able to bully you or me again," Chen Ning said with a face full of longing.

Chen Feng didn't speak, only smiled.

As he carried Chen Ning, he continuously used his Spiritual Power to help heal her injuries.

But Chen Ning's injuries were severe, and merely depending on Spiritual Power was not enough to heal her completely.

So, Chen Feng, carrying Chen Ning, came to a park bench in the downtown area and said, "Sis, I am going to the medicinal market up ahead to buy some healing herbs for you. You wait here for me, okay?"

"Mhm," Chen Ning nodded obediently.

Chen Feng settled Chen Ning down and then headed alone to an alley not far ahead.

This alley was Jiangzhou's largest Chinese medicinal market.

When Chen Feng entered a pharmacy, his plain attire and the bloodstains on him immediately resulted in the shopkeeper's disdainful words, "TM, lousy beggar, are you here to beg for food early in the morning?"

"I'm here to buy medicinal herbs," Chen Feng explained.

Then he selected some medicinal herbs he needed and went to the counter to pay.

"The total is 108,000! Cash or card?" the shopkeeper asked indifferently.

"This, this expensive?"

Upon hearing the amount, Chen Feng was completely stupefied.

He had thought these medicinal herbs would cost at most a few hundred or a thousand, but they actually cost a hundred thousand, which was astronomical for him.

"Damn it! Lousy beggar! You touch my herbs without any money!" the shopkeeper raged, waving at two sturdy men by the door, "Give this lousy beggar a harsh lesson!"

Upon hearing this, the two sturdy men cracked their knuckles and started walking toward Chen Feng.

"Just because I don't have enough money, you want to teach me a lesson? Isn't that a bit unreasonable?" Chen Feng frowned slightly, just about to fight back when—

Suddenly, a thunderous shout came from outside, "Who dares to lay a finger on Mr. Chen, try it!"

A man covered in dragon and tiger tattoos, exuding an imposing air, walked in from the outside.

The shopkeeper's face immediately changed, and he respectfully went up to greet him, "Lord Hu, what brings you here?"

The newcomer was Jiangzhou's underworld king, Black Tiger.

Black Tiger slapped the shopkeeper across the face and cursed, "You blind dog thing! How much do Mr. Chen's medicinal herbs cost in total?"

Covering his face, the shopkeeper replied, "In total... it's 108,000..."

"I'll pay for Mr. Chen!"

Black Tiger directly pulled out a wad of cash from his pocket and threw it at the shopkeeper.

Upon hearing this, the shopkeeper's face immediately changed, and he quickly looked at Chen Feng, repeatedly saying, "Mr. Chen, I-I didn't know you were a friend of Lord Hu... I'm sorry, I was blind, so sorry!"
