Chapter 45 Persuasion (Second Update)

  Ding Xiaoya appeared in front of Mao Fengzhi after seeing him send off Yang Yongtai. Looking at her anxious face, Mao Fengzhi knew that Ding Xiaoya must have known about Ding Huafang's actions just now.

  Ding Xiaoya hastily said: "Fengzhi, Father is getting old and muddle-headed, don't mind him! Tomorrow I'll go back and persuade him, really!"

  Mao Feng said with a faint smile: "So soon you'll be going back to your mother's house? Others will think I've bullied you, and you'll go back home to get reinforcements! Hehe!"

  Seeing a hint of a smile on Mao Feng's face, Ding Xiaoya felt relieved and said with a pout: "Who talks like that?"

  However, Mao Feng's smile soon disappeared. Mao Feng said solemnly: "Xiao Ya, you also know that I, Mao Feng, am not an ungrateful person. You can rest assured that I won't have any malicious intentions towards your father and his family. However, there are some things that must be done."

  Ding Xiaoya's heart skipped a beat as she asked, "What's going on?"

  Mao Feng smiled and said, "What do you think?"

  After finishing, Mao Fengzhi sat down in the room, and Ding Xiaoya's thoughts also calmed down immediately. Just as Mao Fengzhi had just poured tea from the teapot and was about to drink it, Ding Xiaoya spoke up.

  "She said: 'Do you mean for me to take over the Ding family's estate?'"

  "Isn't this good?"

  Ding Xiaoya was originally clever, and at this moment her heart had truly calmed down. She said: "I used to be in charge of many of the Ding family's industries, which wasn't difficult for me, but how will outsiders evaluate you now?"

  Mao Feng said with a faint smile: "This is much better than me arresting your whole family, right? You go and take care of it tomorrow! I'll let Junsheng help you, and warn your father-in-law to just focus on enjoying his old age!"

  Although the tone was light, the sharp words hidden in it were an unmistakable killing intent! This made Ding Xiaoya's face lose color, she quickly calmed down, and she also understood that this was probably the best outcome. Her older brother had been ill since childhood, it was impossible to hand it over to him! And her father-in-law was so domineering, it could only be like this, and must be like this.

  "Alright, I'll go and take care of it tomorrow. I promised you when we got married that the Ding family won't be a burden to you!"

  Mao Fengzhi took a sip of tea, lifted his head and drank it all in one gulp. After the tea went down his throat, he stood up and walked towards Ding Xiaya. Ding Xiaya was slightly stunned, she didn't know what she had said wrong!

  After Mao Feng walked closer, he smiled mysteriously, and then Ding Xiao Ya felt dizzy, and her body was lifted by a huge force. Before she could recover, she heard Mao Feng's words in her ear: "Now that things are done, let's take care of our own business next. Let's have a little one soon, this will also give your parents something to do! Don't always think about things you shouldn't be thinking about!"

  Xia He heard a faint cry from inside, she originally thought that Master Ding wouldn't bully Miss anymore. She also knew about today's events and was worried sick. Having grown up in the Ding household since childhood, she had long considered it her own home. She rushed in, but what she saw made her heart skip a beat - she immediately blushed and turned to leave, saying: "I didn't see anything, I didn't see anything!"

  Mao Feng saw that he and Xiao Ya's intimate moment was interrupted by Xia He, but he didn't mind. He continued with the next step, while Ding Xiao Ya looked a bit shy.

  Mao Feng's face turned even redder as he became more agitated, his movements quickening. "We're old husband and wife now, what's there to be embarrassed about? Besides, Xia He isn't an outsider, is she?"

  Ding Xueya had wanted to say something, but then she lost the thought. It was a new marriage after all, and it was indeed the most intense time for love between husband and wife. Before long, Mao Feng and Ding Xueya fell into a state of blissful intimacy.

  As soon as the sky brightened, the gate of Mao Fengzhi's mansion opened, and at the same time, a row of soldiers had already gathered outside the gate. Ding Xiaya walked out with Hao Junsheng, followed by Xia He.

  Ding Xiaoya said to Hao Junsheng: "Let's set off!"

  After finishing speaking, Ding Xiangya got into the sedan chair parked outside the door. After Xia He and other ladies sat down, they shouted: "Lift the sedan!" Hao Junsheng rode a horse, and a group of people set off towards the Ding Mansion in a grand manner.

  Huang Kui slept very late last night, and was woken up by his own son. He opened his eyes to see that it was his own son, and he originally wanted to scold him severely. However, after learning that Ding Xiaoya had brought someone back to the Ding residence, Huang Kui completely lost his anger. He nodded and said: "It's started again!"

  In the Dong family. Dong Hao also heard the report from his subordinates, and he nodded and said: "Decisive and ruthless, not being bothered by women, it seems that I won't be wrong this time!"

  It's not just the two of them, anyone who signed their name is closely watching the Mao residence. They also received news one after another and started to truly care about what would happen to the Ding residence next.

  It's impossible to wipe out the entire family, otherwise they wouldn't have let Miss Ding come forward! So, taking soldiers with her, it's clear that Miss Ding was authorized by Mao Fengzhu to negotiate.

  Ding Hua didn't sleep all night, he thought for a whole night, and he didn't think he would get into such big trouble. After all, Mao Feng was his son-in-law, what he needed now was popularity, and he wouldn't dare to take such a risk!

  In fact, he guessed half of it right, but he didn't guess that his own daughter would come to seize power. The biggest feeling for Ding Hua was that his daughter was not filial, and he looked at his own daughter and said: "Are you going to be so unfilial? Are you going to be an unfilial daughter?"

  Ding Xiaoya's eyes were red-rimmed, and tears had already begun to well up in her eyes. She spoke with a slight choke: "Father, on the day of my wedding, you said that from then on I would no longer be a daughter of the Ding family, but only the wife of Mao Fengzhi! Now I am here representing Mao Fengzhi to negotiate with you!"

  Ding Hua let out a cold hum, while Ding Xiao Ya took a deep breath, clearly controlling her emotions. She said: "Father, you should also understand that if it weren't for Feng Zhi's rescue back then, I might not be in this world anymore, and the Ding family wouldn't be what it is today! To say something unpleasant, Feng Zhi is the savior of our entire family. You've always said we need to repay kindness, but Father, is this how you repay kindness? I don't see it; what I see is that you're making things difficult for Feng Zhi time and again. If something were to happen to Feng Zhi, would you be able to live with yourself? No matter what, Feng Zhi is your son-in-law, and this fact cannot be erased. Would others let you off the hook? Father, wake up! Are Huang Kui and Dong Hao foolish people? Why are they so eager to get close to Feng Zhi? Haven't you thought about it? Now, Mr. Sun has the upper hand, but what does that have to do with Feng Zhi?"

  "How is it unrelated? He's under Lin Hu's command! He was promoted by Lin Hu himself!"

  Ding Xiaoya said without hesitation: "That's Lin Hu, not Feng Zhi. Feng Zhi and Mr. Sun didn't have a fierce conflict or deep hatred. Once Feng Zhi accepts Mr. Sun's amnesty, he will be turning over a new leaf! Then he will also receive Mr. Sun's favor! Don't forget, Feng Zhi is still under twenty years old this year!"

  Ding Hua muttered to himself, "How is this possible? How is this possible!" Although he said so, Ding Hua naturally had some calculations in his heart. He wasn't a fool, and Ding Xiaoya's words gave him a great shock, making him start thinking about some results that he previously thought were impossible!

  "You often say, 'Don't bully young people who are poor,' don't you understand that? You said your daughter is unfilial, but today she will replace you to take over the Ding family's industry! Don't make it difficult for your daughter!"

  Ding Hua stared at her daughter with wide eyes, not speaking for a long time. Ding Xiao Ya said anxiously: "Don't you still trust your own daughter? When has my vision ever been poor?"

  Ding Hua let out a long sigh and said, "Forget it, forget it. The Ding family is already like this, so just arrange things as you please! Your elder brother's health has never been good, but I still trust him to take care of himself. You're not a heartless person either. I just hope you can live a good life from now on!"

  Ding Xiaoya let out a sigh of relief and said with a hint of joy: "How can this be? I won't, Feng Zhi won't either! You'll understand what kind of person Feng Zhi is in the future!"

  Ding Hua sighed again and said, "I only saw a speculator, what Mao Feng did was just naked speculation! If the choice is right, it will naturally be promoted to a higher position, but if the choice is wrong, it will be a place where one cannot even die. It's because of this that I've been worried until now. If he were an honest person and stayed in the military to develop his career, I wouldn't be so anxious. Look at how he climbed to where he is today."

  "Ding Xiangya shook her head and said, 'Father, what kind of world is this? A world where good people are bullied, where people don't even spit out the bones after eating meat. If Fengzi didn't do so, what would be the outcome? And what about him today? If he were still a poor soldier, would you agree to our daughter marrying him? Would he still help our family like this? Could our family have escaped this disaster?"
