Chapter 1036 Arrival
"This...this is..."
The sudden loud rumbling had everyone present stunned momentarily.
They turned and saw numerous cars headed up the mountain.
Lu Ming-Feng and Xur Shao-Hua frowned.
"Shao-Hua, are those your men?" Lu Ming-Feng turned towards the other young man with confusion in
his eyes.
Xur Shao-Hua shook his head. "No. Elder Wei is the only person I brought with me to Jiangdong."
"That''s odd. Who exactly are they?" Doubt rose inside Lu Ming-Feng.
He had noticed that these cars had Yanjing-registered license numbers.
These men hade from Yanjing.
Lu Ming-Feng and Xur Shao-Hua could do whatever they wanted in Jiangdong without fear of
repercussion because of their powerful families.
But they would have to show some measure of respect to these people if they were from Yanjing.
Yanjing was the capital city of China, after all. There were plenty of other powerful families and bodies
running around in that city.
They mighte from powerful families themselves, but they would never dare to act brazenly in
Yanjing.
An act of recklessness could invite needless trouble for their families.
Suspicion began to unfurl inside Lu Ming-Feng''s mind as he watched those cars approach and stop in
front of them.
The door to one of the cars opened.
A beautiful yet stern looking young woman stepped out of the car and into the sight of everyone.
The hems of her cream-colored coat fluttered lightly in the wind while her long, dark hair cascaded
down her back. Her ck heels made her a tall, striking figure in the night.
She exuded an air of cool elegance.
Her eyes were those of a leader who had had a firm and long rule.
The sight of the cold and stern young woman sent Lu Ming-Feng''s eyelid twitching. Somehow, she
looked really familiar.
Suspicious of who she might be, Lu Ming-Feng spoke politely as he stepped forward and inquired her
name. "Miss, may we know whom you are and what you are doing in our estate sote in the
evening?"
Lu Ming-Feng had clearly deemed the estate on Mount Yunding as his.
After all, he had expelled Qiu Mu-Cheng from the mansion.
He was going to move into the mansion tomorrow morning and officially be the owner of this
ce.
"Xu Lei," said the young woman coolly and without any hint of emotion in her voice.
Her words were as cold and unfeeling as a rock.
"Xu Lei?" Lu Ming-Feng froze for a moment before he reeled back with surprise. "Are you the head of
the Xu family in Yanjing, Xu Lei?"
The Xu family, like the Lu family, was one of the most powerful families in Yanjing.
Xu Lei had assumed the position of the head of the Xu family and taken over the family business at an
extremely young age. The news had caused quite a stir then.
Everyone in Yanjing knew who Xu Lei was.
In fact, Lu Ming-Feng''s father had often told Lu Ming-Feng to learn a few things from Xu Lei.
Naturally, Lu Ming-Feng had been surprised to find out that the woman standing before him was Xu
Lei.
The smile on Lu Ming-Feng''s face grew wider.
He stepped forward and said politely, "So, you''re the head of the Xu family, Xu Lei. You''vee a long
way. Shao-Hua and I have failed to receive you properly as guests. Please forgive us."
Xur Shao-Hua stepped forward as well. "We did not expect Miss Xu Lei to join us tonight. I''ve heard of
your beauty and talent when I was still in Yanjing. I''m so d that I''ve finally met you in person. If you
don''t mind, please join us for a few drinks in the mansion. Let us do our duty as hosts and entertain
you."
Lu Ming-Feng and Xur Shao-Hua showed Xu Lei the greatest respect. Their earlier posturing of
arrogance had vanishedpletely.
Xu Lei was one of their few peers in Yanjing whom they truly respected and admired.
The Xu family had been the least powerful of the four great families in Yanjing. But since Xu Lei had
assumed the position of the head of the Xu family, the family business had expanded rapidly within a
year and had brought three growing new family businesses under its fold. Those three families had
since pledged their allegiance to the Xu family.
The Xu family was in the height of its power in Yanjing.
In fact, one could even say that the Xu family was the one who called the shots in Yanjing''smercial
realm.
Thebined wealth of Lu Ming-Feng''s and Xur Shao-Hua''s families could notpare with the
wealth that the Xu family enjoyed.
Yet wealth was simply one of many forms of power.
It wasn''t what Lu Ming-Feng''s and Xur Shao-Hua''s families had built their influence and power in
Yanjing on.
Their influence and power were rooted in their vastwork of connections in the military and in
politics.
The Xu family was still some distance away from truly matching those two families'' clout in Yanjing.
Nevertheless, the Xu family was still one of the four great families in Yanjing and Xu Lei was its head.
Lu Ming-Feng and Xur Shao-Hua were but young masters from two of the other three families and
hardly dabbled in their families'' businesses. They had little say in their families.
That had been why they had shown the head of the Xu family such a great deal of respect.
Xu Lei ignored thempletely. Instead, she marched past them expressionlessly, grabbed Qiu Mu-
Cheng and headed back to her car.
Elder Wei stepped forward and stood in their path.
"Ming-Feng, what should we do?" Xur Shao-Hua turned towards his friend. He had no clue what they
should do next.
This was the head of the Xu family they were talking about.
They wouldn''t have feared anyone else from the Xu family. They were members of powerful families
themselves, after all.
But Xu Lei was the head of the Xu family. Her position warranted their caution.
If driven into anger, Xu Lei might do something crazy.
Lu Ming-Feng was quite sure that his father would kill him if he caused trouble for their family.
"Let her go." Lu Ming-Feng eventually
caved. Reаd at Dramanovеls
Xur Shao-Hua nodded and with a wave of his hand, got Elder Wei to stand down.
Xu Lei turned around and leveled a hard look at him.
Xu Lei smiled suddenly.
The bright smile was sharp and carried an
edge of icy hostility.

Xu Lei brought Qiu Mu-Cheng back with her to Yanjing.
She also found the severely injured Qing Tan and brought the young woman back with her.
