Chu Feifei regretted entering the room.
She felt that Dongfang Yu's gaze tonight was different from before, making her feel uneasy, and he seemed to have locked the door from the inside.
"Uncle Dongfang, does the matter with Uncle really have nothing to do with you?"
Feeling wary, Chu Feifei didn't walk further in and asked Dongfang Yu.
"Fei'er, sit down first, let's talk while sitting down. Have you had dinner?"
Dongfang Yu ignored her question and pretended to ask with concern.
"I have eaten." Chu Feifei nodded and replied perfunctorily.
In fact, she had been worrying about Jiang Feng all day and hadn't eaten, but she had no appetite at the moment.
"If you've eaten, then accompany Uncle to have a bit more. Uncle has been busy until now and hasn't eaten anything!"
As he spoke, Dongfang Yu led Chu Feifei to the dining table.
There, he had carefully prepared a candlelight dinner—a romantic European-style long table for two, with uniquely styled candlesticks placed on it.
The tableware was made of the finest pure silver, and the dishes were meticulously prepared, all high-end French cuisine: braised mandarin fish, fried prawn balls, pineapple turkey, and even more expensive delicacies like truffles, foie gras, and caviar.
In addition, a bottle of prestigious red wine from Chateau Haut-Brion was placed in the middle, decanting and particularly eye-catching.
"Fei'er, it's our first time eating together, I don't know what you like, but you young girls probably can't resist the allure of Western cuisine. The French chef at Bo Yue is quite good; try these dishes and see if they suit your taste."
Dongfang Yu smiled as he pushed the knife and fork meant for Chu Feifei in front of her and said.
Chu Feifei frowned slightly. Judging by this setup, it was clear that he had intentionally prepared it for her, not just a casual meal.
"Uncle Dongfang, my sisters are still waiting for me to go back. Let's get to the point. Can you let Uncle go? Withdraw the report and let him out of the custody center?"
Chu Feifei said with disdain.
"Ah, Fei'er, you're making it difficult for Uncle. You want Uncle to make special arrangements for that Jiang Feng, yet you're unwilling to even have a meal with Uncle. This isn't how you seek help from Uncle."
Dongfang Yu said with a feigned hint of regret.
Hearing this, Chu Feifei had no choice but to sit down at the opposite side of the dining table: "Fine, Uncle Dongfang, I'll have dinner with you."
"That's more like it; we have all night to talk about anything, why rush?"
Dongfang Yu smiled and personally opened that bottle of Chateau Haut-Brion red wine, filling Chu Feifei's glass halfway and his own the same.
To disguise her discomfort, Chu Feifei picked a piece of truffle with her fork, placed it on her plate, and took a small bite.
As for the taste, she couldn't discern it at all and felt like she was chewing wax.
"Look at you, eating just like your mother back in the day, small bites at a time. It's been so long since I've seen that," Dongfang Yu said, staring affectionately at Chu Feifei.
Chu Feifei instantly got goosebumps and immediately put down her fork.
Previously, when he mentioned her mother, Chu Feifei felt very touched, but now it felt strange and made her whole body uncomfortable.
"Uncle Dongfang, let's talk about Uncle instead." Chu Feifei took a deep breath and said.
"Alright, what do you want to say?" Dongfang Yu seemed a bit displeased.
He increasingly felt that Jiang Feng's existence was a mistake, affecting not only his son's vengeance but also his emotional cultivation with Chu Feifei.
Fortunately, Dawu and Xiao Wu had already been sent in. He estimated they were about to complete their task, and he would receive the good news shortly.
"You must know a bit about Uncle's current situation. I still say the same thing: I hope you can be magnanimous and let Uncle go. He can't stay in the custody center forever!"
Mentioning Jiang Feng, Chu Feifei's emotions became noticeably agitated.
"Fei'er, to be honest, after you called me at noon, I decided to give you some face and no longer hold that Jiang Feng accountable."
"Not only that, I even sent someone to the action department to smooth things over for him, hoping to release him soon."
"But guess what? From what I know, that Jiang Feng became rowdy in the custody center, causing trouble by injuring others in the violent custody room, fighting all the inmates. This made the relevant departments extremely angry and apprehensive. Even my words might not hold sway."
Dongfang Yu said with an expression of sigh.
"How could this happen?" Chu Feifei heard this and became even more anxious. Did Jiang Feng cause trouble even in the custody center?
"That's why I think that man isn't worth your attention, Fei'er. He's reckless, and even if this time he escapes disaster, I think he'll remain incorrigible and one day fall victim to his own temper."
Dongfang Yu deliberately said.
He was using psychological tactics to break Chu Feifei's liking for Jiang Feng.
Unfortunately, he underestimated Chu Feifei's deep feelings for Jiang Feng!
Faced with his deliberate provocation, Chu Feifei didn't budge, just becoming more anxious and distressed, her mind in turmoil.
"Uncle Dongfang, even so, I still believe you must have a way to help Uncle. After all, your status in the Provincial City is exceptional, and your connections are widespread, right?" Chu Feifei asked unwillingly.
"That's indeed true." Dongfang Yu smiled: "Alright then, since you said that, I can try again. But let me ask you, if I really can rescue Jiang Feng, how do you intend to thank me?"
"As long as Uncle is safe and sound, Uncle Dongfang, I'll do whatever you ask!" Chu Feifei said urgently.
"Haha, you said it."
Dongfang Yu smiled with satisfaction, looking at Chu Feifei's slightly parted fair thighs under the table, where the skin, pinkish and as smooth as jade, beneath which even the faint bluish veins were visible, looked delicate and inviting.
Suddenly, Dongfang Yu felt dry-mouthed and swallowed hard.
"Fei'er, given the situation, I've decided to reveal a secret to you first."
"What secret?"
Chu Feifei, now with no mood to listen to any secrets, subconsciously clutched her little feet together and looked up at him bitterly.
"Actually, there's something I've lied to you about. My relationship with your mother wasn't just a simple classmate relationship, nor were we merely committee members together. The two of us, back then, were in a romantic relationship!"
"Hmm?" Chu Feifei's face immediately showed shock, looking at Dongfang Yu with confusion.
"Don't look at me with that expression, it's true!"
Dongfang Yu nodded seriously: "Back then, your mother liked me, and I liked your mother. We were mutually in love, became a couple, and even privately pledged to each other."
"Even our classmates thought we were a match made in heaven, and they endlessly supported and blessed us."
"But in those days, as you know, things weren't as open-minded as they are now. Nowadays, young people like you having campus romances are no big deal, but at that time, as our relationship became known to more people, we faced various pressures."
"The most direct were from the school, teachers, and my family!"
"They forced me to break up with Qin Luoyi, or else they would expel us."
"But even so, your mother was deeply in love with me, never leaving or forsaking me."
"But I couldn't neglect your mother's future!"
"I feared affecting her prospects and studies, so I prioritized the larger picture and painfully parted ways with her temporarily, planning to reunite after graduation."
"But unexpectedly, your mother misunderstood my intentions, and in her sorrow, chose to drop out and returned to Binhai."
"It truly became a lifelong regret for me... why didn't Luoyi listen to my explanation back then? By the time I wanted to make amends, it was already too late..."
