Rebirth: Splendid Marriage in the 80s

Chapter 1948: Chapter 1884: A Calamity Born of No Fault

Pheng Fei continued, ”Later, Sjöv established this Painter’s Alliance, to be honest, it’s actually meant to oppose Mr. Wen Li. This time, two people from the Sjöv Painter’s Alliance have also tried their best to participate in this competition.”

”That doesn’t have anything to do with Xiao Chiang.”

Liu Guoying was somewhat puzzled because Pheng Fei spoke so seriously that he couldn’t help but feel a bit uneasy.

Furthermore, he also knew that if there was truly no issue involving Chiang Xiao, then there was no need for Pheng Fei to tell her these things with such seriousness.

Chiang Xiao listened with pursed lips.

”Originally, it had nothing to do with her.” Pheng Fei gave a bitter smile, stood up, bowed slightly to them, and said, ”I am truly sorry, please allow me to reintroduce myself.”

What is going on?

Liu Guoying and Chiang Xiao exchanged a glance.

Pheng Fei said, ”I come from the M West Pheng Family, and I’m currently Mr. Wen Li’s son-in-law.”

”Pfft!”

Chiang Xiao and Liu Guoying simultaneously spat.

M West is domestically a very economically developed region, they knew of the M West Pheng Family.

Although the M West Pheng Family doesn’t measure up to the D State Jiang Family or the Lu Family of Pingzhou, they actually involve different areas, so of course, their status is different.

The Jiang and Lu Families mainly focus on military and political matters.

Whereas the M West Pheng Family is entirely business-oriented, said to be descended from Imperial Merchants, wealthy beyond measure.

The M West Pheng Family is flourishing with offspring, not concerned at all about having no one to inherit the family business.

They completely didn’t expect that Pheng Fei would actually be one of them!

Moreover, they never thought he would be Mr. Wen Li’s son-in-law.

Upon this realization, Chiang Xiao suddenly felt enlightened.

Wait!

Mr. Wen Li sent his son-in-law to be her personal assistant?

Isn’t this a bit too much attention on her?

Seeing their shocked expressions, Pheng Fei knew they were aware of the M West Pheng Family.

He gave another bitter laugh and said, ”My father is merely a nephew of the grand uncle of the Pheng Family, so I was able to settle in Country Y and able to marry a foreign woman. The direct descendants of the Pheng Family can only stay in the country and can only marry wives chosen by the family.”

”I see,” Liu Guoying now looked at him differently.

This Pheng Fei might not be a direct heir, but having reached Country Y and able to catch up with Mr. Wen Li’s daughter, he must be quite impressive as well.

”Mr. Wen Li was very impressed after seeing Ms. Chiang’s painting, and since I am a compatriot with you all, knowing Ms. Chiang isn’t very old, he was afraid she’d be intimidated upon coming here so he asked me to be Ms. Chiang’s assistant,” Pheng Fei said. ”However, Sjöv misinterpreted this, believing Ms. Chiang was invited by Mr. Wen Li specifically to take on his girlfriend, and has already set his sights on Ms. Chiang.”

”Sjöv’s girlfriend? What’s that about?” Chiang Xiao, who had been listening without speaking, finally asked.

”The Sjöv family has rapidly grown over the last two years, and with his handsome appearance, he has caught the eye of another wealthy female, that young lady named Luna, who is also a painter and is participating in this competition.”

Listening to this, Liu Guoying couldn’t help but breathe out.

What is all this?

Why does it sound so complicated?

Isn’t that supposed to be their matter? How did it end up involving Chiang Xiao? This is completely misfortune striking out of nowhere.

”I am completely unaware of these things, and I do not know any of the people you mentioned,” Chiang Xiao said with a darkened expression. She was just here to participate in a painting competition and ended up tangled in all of this.
