Reborn and Counterattack: The CEO's Powerful Sweetheart

The car drove towards the Feng Family’s inner courtyard.

In the courtyard, the green trees provided shade, vines crept along the walls, various flowers competed to bloom, the clear pond sparkled; the elegant and beautiful scenery accentuated the ancient and culturally rich buildings, making one feel refreshed and relaxed.

Feng Zhuoliang brought Gu Tong and Li Yan back to the Feng Family’s main house.

”Our main house was built during the previous dynasty, bearing the glory and splendor of the Feng Family for many years. It has since undergone several renovations and now feels a bit different.”

Feng Zhuoliang recounted the various aspects of the Feng Family to them, in a way that suggested he wanted them to learn more about the Feng Family. He said, ”There are two elders from the side branch, your second uncle and little aunt. They are both busy with things outside now, and will probably come back a little later. Haha, they were overjoyed to hear that there was a little girl at home and were eager to meet you, like they were going crazy.”

It must be said that the integration within the Feng Family is very strong, and the familial affection is extremely rich.

Even Gu Tong, who was new to the main family, felt the harmonious and warm atmosphere of the home.

The main house was decorated with an antique charm. Although Gu Tong was knowledgeable and experienced, she still found it a bit dazzling and said, ”Is this what all prominent families are like?”

This question carried a deeper meaning and was not as simple as it appeared on the surface.

Feng Zhuoliang caught her gaze, understood the implication in her words, and thought that it must be because her elder sister Feng Shulan had not spoken of the Feng Family, so the child knew nothing about it. He said, ”There is a difference between a prominent family and a wealthy family. According to today’s concept, having money makes you a wealthy family, unlike in the past when it required a family with a long history to be called a prominent family.”

”Since the establishment of Longxing Country, there are already very few families that still maintain the brilliance of being a prominent family. Especially cultural heritage is not valued by people anymore. Even our Feng Family has declined to become just a wealthy family, losing the brilliance of a prominent family. But I must say, in this regard, the Li Family and Feng Family are really quite alike.”

Remember, the Li Family in its prime was famous and righteous, once standing strong among prominent families.

However, as time passed and things changed, the current Li Family is no longer what it once was.

”So that’s how it is.”

Gu Tong tightened her grip on Li Yan’s hand, yet found that the latter showed no extra emotion, and her heart too settled, feeling much more at ease.

”Shoucheng is now the gathering place of the wealthy and prominent families, with all sorts of descendants. There are quite a few who bully others, flaunt power, and rely on others to support them! You will know more about it once you’ve been in Shoucheng for a while.”

Feng Zhuoliang clasped his hands behind his back, like a teacher, his words were calm and unhurried, not prepared to say everything in one go.

After all, there is plenty of time later, and he could inform them slowly. He couldn’t possibly flood the two children with everything on the first day, increasing their burden too much.

The family butler quickly approached, nodded, and greeted Gu Tong and Li Yan before saying, ”Sir... there’s a call from the company, they said there’s a bit of trouble with the renovation of the ancestral hall...”

Feng Zhuoliang frowned slightly, his expression somewhat solemn, and said, ”Is it the Wei Family again?”

”Yes,” the butler responded promptly.

Feng Zhuoliang’s furrowed brows didn’t ease, clearly a thorny issue had arisen. After some thought, he glanced at Gu Tong and said, ”There are some urgent matters at the company that need handling. You two can rest for a bit, I will be quick.”

”Uncle, you go ahead and take care of it, we can stroll around the garden,”

Gu Tong didn’t have that many qualms, nor did she feel there was any problem.

Moreover, she would rather have Feng Zhuoliang busy with other things, to avoid bringing up the role of the family head again, which she might find overwhelming.

After all, since Feng Zhuoliang’s explanation, she had been thinking of escaping.

”Then, feel free to look around and get familiar with the home’s environment. If you need anything, just contact the butler; he’ll arrange everything.” Feng Zhuoliang made one last reassuring arrangement and then hurried off to handle the pressing issues.
