The Unknown God of War

Chapter 204 Too Soon to be Called ‘Brother-in-Law’

Zhou Ying meekly nodded, pressing her head against Chu Feng’s chest without a second thought as if she wanted nothing more than to tell him all of her troubles.

Chu Feng lifted his head and scanned the crowd, his handsomely chiseled features and uniquely masculine face forming a fatally attractive look in combination with his general’s uniform. This level of handsomeness was likely on par with the most popular male celebrity of the era!

Practically every woman in attendance squealed in envy. An insanely powerful, yet devilishly handsome man? Who wouldn’t want a brother like him?

Meanwhile, Tang’e and the girls from the Sun family were already deathly pale and drenched in cold sweat.

Previously, they’d committed their fair share of bullying and boycotting against the peasant girl Zhou Ying, even stealing her dowry and jewelry under the guise of ‘showing her who’s boss’.

They thought a girl like her, with neither power nor authority, could be walked all over like a helpless doormat.

How were they supposed to know her equally helpless parents had raised such a powerful son? A son who’d become a general in his twenties, no less!

With his youth and position, Chu Feng easily ranked among the most powerful in the nation; he probably could turn Jiangbei upside down on a whim. No one could protect them from him, not even Tang Taishan.

Tang’e and the others could feel the cold sweat soaking through their formal wear, the bile rising in their throats.

In a desperate gamble, Tang’e shot a helpless glance at her father Tang Taishan, the former Lieutenant Governor of Jiangbei.

Tang Taishan may have been thoroughly shocked by the turn of events, but he was no inexperienced fool either.

With a resigned sigh, he contemplated the situation. He’d planned to lend his grandson some face by personally attending this event, but now he’d offended the godlike Chu Feng!

After coughing to relieve the atmospheric tension, he smiled. “Since Ying Ying’s brother is here, let the wedding commence! I say, I never knew your brother was such a high-ranking General! Truly, it is an honor to the Sun family and of course, an honor to me.” Tang Taishan stood and put on a display of submission, then growled at the petrified Sun Mingxuan for good measure, saying, “What are you standing there for? Offer a toast to your brother-in-law!”

Tang’e and Sun Jianye also hurriedly ushered him, “Quick, thank your brother-in-law.”

Their plan now was to strike the iron while it’s hot and get the wedding over with to avoid any more unexpected turn of events.

Once Zhou Ying was married into their family, there would be nothing much Chu Feng could do without also upsetting Zhou Ying.

Perhaps they’d even secure their own future by riding on Chu Feng’s coattails; a four-star General was not to be trifled with, after all.

Sun Mingxuan shakily poured a glass of wine and walked toward Chu Feng, then stuttered, “B-Brother, a toast—”

“Isn’t it a bit early to call me ‘brother-in-law’ before the wedding’s even begun?” Chu Feng said dismissively, his gaze not even meeting Sun Mingxuan’s eyes. “After all, I still need to assess you people from the Sun Family and see if you’re worthy of my sister.”

Tang Taishan, Tang’e and the others could feel their facial muscles twitching; it seemed that Chu Feng was hell bent on avenging Zhou Ying.

“Tell me, Ying. Have they been bullying you?” Chu Feng’s tone was gentle, but the murderous intent in his words were enough to bring the room’s temperature several degrees lower.

Zhou Ying looked to Sun Mingxuan beside them, still hesitant due to their shared bond.

Just then, Tang’e spoke up, “Chu Feng, we’d never do such a thing. Our family has treated Ying Ying like one of our own daughters.”

“Yes, yes. We really do love her.”
