Chapter 68: The Women Discuss (First Update)

  Dong Hao wouldn't accompany them this time, no matter what. The second time was exciting enough, he didn't want a third time. This time, he sent the housekeeper to escort the three women to the Ding family's mansion. Everyone knew that Ding Xiao Ya would not be at the Mao residence during the day, but rather at her natal home.

  Watching the four women enter the house, Xia He personally closed the door, and Mao Feng could only stand in the courtyard, smiling wryly as he waited for news. The commotion of the three women's visit was naturally not trivial, and Ding Hua would definitely not be able to keep it under wraps.

  Soon, Mao Feng saw the figure of Ding Hua, the Tai Shan master. Ding Hua looked furious, and Mao Feng knew that he must have predicted something! He's really getting sharper with age!

  Ding Hua saw Mao Feng's eyes light up, followed by a sinking face. He quickly walked to Mao Feng's side and growled: "What do you want to do? Is this how you treat my daughter?"

  Mao Feng listened calmly and said: "Father-in-law, I don't know what you're talking about?"

  Ding Hua's face grew increasingly dark, and he said: "Don't tell me these useless things! Do you really think I'm old and muddled? How old am I, anyway? Don't think you can deceive my eyes! What are you doing to Xiao Nu? Have you forgotten how long you've been married? You may not care about your reputation, but the Ding family still cares about theirs!"

  His eyebrow twitched and he calmly said: "Too much, Father-in-law! If I didn't respect Xiaoya, do you think you could see this scene today?"

  "You! Bastard! Don't think that your current status will get you anywhere? My DING family isn't afraid of power, at worst we'll die together with the net!"

  Upon hearing Ding Hua's harsh words, Mao Feng, slightly angry, said: "Father-in-law, you're being too serious! If we really have to make a scene, it won't be good for the Ding family! Am I really just a plaything?"

  Such an obvious threat, it was so overwhelming that Ding Hua was suddenly speechless and didn't know what to say! Ding Hua also thought of the power in Mao Feng's hands at this moment, and it would be easy for him to overthrow the Ding family with so many troops. Now, the Huang family and the Dong family in Chaozhou City have completely surrendered to him. If they see that Feng is going to deal with the Ding family, they will probably join in instead of helping!

  Mao Feng didn't take advantage of the momentum to pursue, but instead saw a good opportunity and said with a relaxed tone: "Father-in-law, now Xiaoya is inside talking to them. If Xiaoya doesn't agree, Father-in-law, you can rest assured that I will definitely respect her opinion on this matter, I guarantee it!"

  Ding Hua's anger had subsided somewhat, and his mind was also clearing up. He began to think carefully. He wasn't a muddled person, and after some thought, he realized that there were many things that didn't add up. With a hint of hesitation, he said: "So what's the background of these three women?"

  Mao Feng's concise words were: "Guangdong thirteen families, Wu family, Lu family, Pan family!"

  Ding Hua nodded slightly and continued: "After all, the thirteen families have already begun to decline. In China, even in Guangdong, their influence is very small. However, they have moved their assets overseas, so their family wealth should still be considerable!"

  Mao Feng said, "It shouldn't be too bad. The Dong family should be the result of the support of the thirteen families behind their backs! From this point, we can see a glimpse of their financial resources!"

  Ding Hua was taken aback, he nodded thoughtfully and said: "If that's the case, then it's really true!" Then, his expression changed, he immediately frowned and said: "Almost fell for your trick, don't change the subject, what do you plan to do?"

  Mao Feng couldn't help but laugh and cry at the same time, and he said helplessly: "My intention is very clear, everything depends on Xiao Ya."

  Ding Hua looked at Mao Feng deeply, and finally let out a long sigh. He appeared desolate as he said: "If you disappoint Xiao Ya in the future, I will not forgive you even if I die! Hmph!"

  After finishing, Ding Hua angrily swung his sleeves and turned to leave. Looking at this scene, Mao Feng couldn't help but smile bitterly. However, he also admired Ding Hua's cunning, and he probably saw that Xiaoya would agree to this matter eight or nine out of ten times.

  Mao Feng then thought that if this thing really succeeds, he would have four wives, one big and three small, with a concubine. How would others look at him in the future? Not to mention the Communist Party of China, even Chiang Kai-shek would probably look at him differently! The road ahead really needs careful consideration.

  Mao Feng suddenly realized that the path he was taking now seemed to be going in the opposite direction of his original intention when he first came to this world, and the further he went, the more distant it became! However, if he didn't have the financial support of the thirteen families of Guangdong now, his foundation would be too shallow, and he might not achieve anything! The family forces here are vast, so why did Guangdong never have a base in history? Perhaps the reason lies here as well. The local customs are conservative but also open-minded, making it a complex and contradictory region.

  Thinking of Old Chiang, Mao Feng whispered: "I wonder what this cheap brother-in-law is doing now? It's probably time to return home too. As long as Sun Wen returns to Guangzhou, the policy direction of the alliance with Russia will be set, and Huangpu will probably start too! This is just the beginning of his step-by-step approach to the throne!"

  For Old Chiang, Mao Feng and others believe that the Whampoa period was the most critical stage affecting Old Chiang. Although it had Old Chiang's nature, it is also undeniable the cruelty of reality! The temptation of power and interest!

  Mao Feng thought that at this moment, the Communist Party of China is probably just beginning and has just learned to walk. This is too immature. Thinking about the many struggles in history, Mao Feng's hair stood on end and he felt a chill run down his spine. The concubine problem alone would be enough to kill him in the future. It's better not to think about it for now!

  Is he really going to lead the team and become king? Mao Feng's face was bitter with a wry smile, he probably didn't have that much power yet. Not to mention others, just the Nationalist Party alone was a force he needed to carefully consider, let alone the Guangdong clique and Sun Wen who were far more powerful than him. And then there was the future Old Chiang! And also the Fengtian clique and Zhili clique! With his current military strength, it would be a blessing from heaven if he could just defend his own territory!

  Mao Feng stood in the courtyard with a complex expression, thinking deeply. The deputy officer and several guards were scattered around, guarding him. At this moment, Fang Tianxia walked in, and the deputy officer immediately stepped forward to stop him, reminding him: "Commander, he's thinking about something! Don't disturb him unless it's important!"

  Fang Tianxia was indeed the head of the Intelligence Department, but he was a seasoned fighter and naturally knew that this deputy officer was a close associate of the commander-in-chief. He couldn't afford to offend him. With a hint of a smile, he said in a low voice: "I'd like to see the commander-in-chief to report on my recent work. You know, I'm under a lot of pressure now! I'm afraid of making any mistakes, and if something goes wrong, brother, I'll be the one who's crying!"

  "Is it Tian Xia? Come here!" Mao Feng's words sounded in the ears of the two.

  Fang Tianxia's expression immediately turned solemn, he straightened up and walked briskly towards Mao Feng. He stepped forward and saluted, saying: "Commander, sorry to disturb you!"

  Mao Feng waved his hand and said: "There is no need for that, your work is very important. From now on, if there's anything you want to report, you can come see me directly. What is it?"

  Fang Tianxia's heart was warm, what is the most important thing for people in this era? It's not money, but respect and appreciation! That's why Fang Tianxia betrayed and joined Mao Feng.

  "Fang Tianxia said in a low voice: 'Commander, I've been keeping an eye on the three women around Dong Hao, so I'm afraid something might happen to you, that's why I came in to check the situation.'"

  Mao Feng nodded and said: "There's no danger here, I know your loyalty, is everything else normal now?"

  Fang Tianxia came in to show his loyalty, just to let Mao Feng know that he was working hard and diligently. This purpose has been achieved, which is enough! Fang Tianxia immediately replied: "Everything is normal in the city, the Huang family and a few others are very obedient, there's nothing special!"

  Mao Feng's warning said: "Don't be careless, this is the most critical moment. As long as Xu Chongzhi and Yun Dian are still unstable, we can't be negligent here! Don't let something go wrong and cause chaos in Chaozhou. I want you to grasp every move of Chaozhou City firmly in your hands, this is the top priority task. Only after completing this, can you shift your focus to Meizhou and Shantou. Don't spread yourself too thin, do you understand?"

  "Yes, I understand!" Fang Tianxia replied.

  "Hmm!" At this time, Mao Feng saw the door open and four girls came out one after another. Mao Feng said to Fang Tianxia: "You go!"

  Fang Tianxia's expression suddenly became serious, and he immediately said: "Yes, Commander!" It has to be said that as soon as these four women appeared, Fang Tianxia felt astonished. These four women were all beauties, and they were all great beauties with completely different qualities!

  As Fang Tianxia turned and left, Mao Fengzhi also smiled and welcomed the four women. Ding Xiaoya was still as usual, and the other three women were all normal in appearance, without any abnormalities. This made Mao Fengzhi feel both normal and abnormal, he always felt that something was not right somewhere.

  Mao Feng smiled and said, "Alright! Have you two reached an agreement?"

  Can't help but say that Mao Feng is also thick-skinned, not thinking at all that these four women are discussing for his own sake, just like an outsider. Ding Xiao Ya doesn't care, while the other three women glare at Mao Feng with a fierce gaze.

  Ding Xiaoya smiled and said: "Well, it's settled! There are no major issues, everything has been discussed, from now on as long as they step into the Mao family's gate, they will be my good sisters!"

  Mao Fengzhen saw Ding Xiaya's smiling face, but also saw the faint loss in Ding Xiaya's eyes. Mao Fengzhen couldn't help but feel a sense of admiration for Ding Xiaya!

  "Wu Xiaohai said at this time: 'My sisters and I will take our leave now, we still need to inform our family and let them send someone over to discuss and decide on a date!'"

  Wu Xiaohua's face was also red all over, even a straightforward girl like Lu Qingfang had a hint of shyness! After all, they were all unmarried young women, and at this time, they were ordinary girls.
