2042 Your Friend Is From the Three Big Families?
Old Madam Shen placed her walking stick on the ground and was the first to lose her cool. “Xiao Feng, how did you resolve that matter later? Where’s your friend?”

At that time, the situation was urgent. Shen Qingfeng only said that he had met Ji Xiao at the Intercontinental Hotel with a friend. Ji Xiao stopped them from leaving.

The Shen Family only knew this much. They didn’t know anything else.

When they called Shen Qingfeng later, the matter had already been resolved. Shen Qingfeng told them not to come anymore.

The Shen Family gathered together and waited at home for him to explain.

After all, this wasn’t a small matter.

It was quite a big deal.

Shen Qingfeng put down his phone and walked over.

With so many elders here, he didn’t dare to sit down as a junior. He straightened his back and suddenly said to the old lady, “Grandma, I’ve found the future direction of the family.”

Old Madam Shen looked at him in confusion. “What?”

“Haven’t we been unable to find anyone to follow?” Shen Qingfeng’s face was filled with unprecedented high spirits. He looked at them gently but without losing his edge. “I’ve found that person. She might be the Shen Family’s future way out! The path has been taken, so I want to take a gamble.”

“Xiao Feng, what are you talking about?” Father Shen was confused. He craned his neck and asked him, “Who exactly is the person you’re talking about?”

Shen Qingfeng didn’t want to leave them hanging anymore. He put his phone on the table and replied with a straight face, “I’m talking about my friend.”

Father Shen was even more confused. He suppressed his confusion and asked, “Your friend is from the three big families?”

“No,” Shen Qingfeng answered quickly without hesitation.

Father Shen didn’t understand. “Then… Which force in the Independent Continent is she from?”

He thought that with Shen Qingfeng’s judgment, the other party was at least a famous force in the Independent Continent. Otherwise, his son wouldn’t have bet his entire family’s future.

Who knew…

Shen Qingfeng denied it again. “Not really.”

“…”

This time, not to mention Father Shen, the rest of the family didn’t understand what was going on in his mind.

“…What? That person isn’t from the three big families or any other forces. Then how can we have a future?”

“That’s right. This is a matter that concerns the fate of the entire family. It’s not like children playing house.”

“Xiao Feng, who is this friend you’re talking about? Do we know each other?”

After all, Old Lady Shen had lived for a long time and was more transparent than young people. She believed that Shen Qingfeng wouldn’t take a gamble with the entire family for no reason.

Since he wanted to take a gamble, he must have a reason.

Her tone was extremely gentle, not flustered or exasperated. Instead, she communicated with Shen Qingfeng very calmly. “You’re the most promising among the younger generation of our Shen Family. Grandma believes in your judgment. However, this matter concerns the fate of the Shen Family. It’s not just one or two people, but the future of our entire family. You have to tell us about your friend so that we can have an understanding. What do you mean?”
Shen Qingfeng didn’t hide it from her. Under everyone’s gaze, he said calmly, “Yes. Her name is Qiao Nian. Dad, Grandma, you should have heard of her name. She’s a newcomer to the First Research Institute this year.”

Before he could finish speaking, the others became noisy again.

“What? Just a newcomer from the First Research Institute? Isn’t Qingfeng in the First Research Institute yourself? You’ve been in there for a few years.”
