C14 Perfect Ending

Though Ye Feng had resolved the issue for Ye Yimei, he had undeniably crossed Wei Zecheng—a fact that was beyond dispute.

Ye Feng himself didn't seem perturbed, but others could see that Wei Zecheng was bound to seek revenge, though they were at a loss for how to warn him.

Only Ye Yimei was directly involved because of the incident.

"Feng, you've managed to offend the Wei family this time."

"I'm aware, but I couldn't stand by and watch you get hurt."

"Feng, I truly appreciate you stepping in for me, but you've angered the Wei family. You're likely to face their retaliation."

"Big Sis, I'm still in the dark about the Wei family's actual standing."

"The Wei family is our business partner, and we don't usually have these issues. But for some reason, they've taken this unexpected stance. You've offended Wei Zecheng, who is known for holding grudges within the Wei family. If you ever find yourself in trouble, make sure to protect yourself."

Ye Feng nodded, aware of his limitations and that he was no match for Wei Zecheng in his current state, yet he was unafraid.

Ye Feng recognized his shortcomings, but he had the system to rely on. With it, he felt equipped to handle any challenge.

"Feng, remember, if you encounter Wei Zecheng outside, don't confront him directly. He's usually accompanied by bodyguards. He was alone today only because it was our family hosting the event, and he chose not to bring them."

"Does that mean the Wei family and the Ye family are on equal footing?"

Though not well-versed in business affairs, Ye Feng could deduce from the circumstances that the Wei and Ye families were likely on par with each other.

Yet, should a rift lead to open conflict, it would surely result in mutual destruction.

Hence, Wei Zecheng probably wouldn't target the Ye family directly; the most he would do is go after Ye Feng himself.

Still, without a clear plan to counter any attacks, Ye Feng wasn't deterred from preparing. He had the system, after all.

"Don't worry, Big Sis. I'll be cautious. If there's any trouble, I'll be sure to avoid it."

Ye Yimei smiled, finding Ye Feng's character as endearing as ever.

"I'm not telling you to just dodge trouble, Ye Feng. I'm advising you to avoid a direct confrontation. After all, nobody really knows what Wei Zecheng is capable of, and I don't want you getting hurt."

Ye Feng nodded in understanding; he grasped Ye Yimei's concerns.

"Don't worry, I won't confront him head-on. I'll make sure to protect myself first and then strike back if necessary."

Ye Yimei gave a nod of approval, relieved that Ye Feng knew how to look after himself.

Just by observing his demeanor, Ye Yimei could tell that Ye Feng was far from ordinary.

The banquet went on, even though there was a minor disturbance involving the Wei family's young master, and Ye's mother had fainted.

But the event wasn't overshadowed by the incident. The guest of honor was still there, and Ye Feng had made quite the impression with his commanding presence.

Now, no one at the banquet dared to underestimate Ye Feng.

Indeed, it seemed that Ye Feng was the only one bold enough to send the Wei family's young master packing.

And it was clear that his actions weren't just because he was the Ye family's heir.

Whether it was youthful bravado or blissful ignorance that fueled him, that remained a mystery.

"Young Master Ye, to be young is a wonderful thing. The youth are to be feared."

Ye Feng had lost count of how many times he'd heard that since he'd ousted Wei Zecheng. Wave after wave of guests had come to offer him toasts.

The sentiments in their toasts were all remarkably similar.

Ye Feng could almost predict the end of their speeches based on their opening lines.

Eventually, Ye Feng excused himself, citing a low tolerance for alcohol, and retreated to a corner to sit out the rest of the toasting. The formalities of the banquet concluded flawlessly.

The reception was a show for the public, designed to solidify Ye Feng's rightful place as the Ye family's young master in the eyes of the world, offering him a layer of protection.

Once the public festivities ended, a more intimate welcome party for the family followed.

In attendance were Ye's mother, Ye Feng, his five sisters, and Ye's father, who had just returned from his duties.

"Feng, congratulations on your official return to the Ye family!"

The five sisters' voices rang out in chorus, welcoming him back.

They were genuinely happy for Ye Feng's return to the Ye family. After years of drifting, this long-lost brother had finally come home, only to face a whirlwind of events. His five sisters couldn't help but feel a pang of sympathy for him.

"Feng, I heard that after I passed out, you sent Wei Zecheng packing?"

"Yes, he was the reason you fainted. If I had let him stay at the banquet, it would have made the Ye family look weak."

Ye's mother gave a nod of understanding. Ye Feng's decision might not have been the best, but under the circumstances, he had little choice.

"Even though you sent him away, he's bound to hold a grudge. Be cautious around the Wei family from now on. We can't be there to protect you at all times; you must learn to fend for yourself."

Ye Feng acknowledged her advice. He was aware that self-protection was crucial, especially now that it wasn't just about his recent return, but also about the Ye family avoiding conflict with other clans.

To recklessly challenge the Wei family using the Ye's resources would be foolish.

"Don't worry, I'll take good care of myself and avoid any direct confrontations."

Ye's mother nodded again. In the current climate, a head-on clash would be ill-advised; Ye Feng would have to make some concessions for now.

"I'm glad you understand. But don't fret too much. Do you remember Director Qi from the company?"

"Of course, Director Qi has quite the executive presence. But what exactly is his role?"

"You'll find out his exact position in time. All I can say is that Director Qi is a man of vision and exceptional ability. If you ever encounter any problems, he's the person to turn to—there's almost nothing he can't handle."

Ye Feng nodded. His mother's words were clear: seek out Director Qi's support.

Though he was still unsure of Director Qi's true identity, his mother's confidence was enough for him. He knew what he had to do.

"Got it. If anything comes up, I'll reach out to Director Qi. Don't worry, I won't let myself get hurt, and thank you for your guidance."

Despite some estrangement, Ye Feng had yet to grow accustomed to his new identity.
