“Brother Feng, actually, I don’t think there’s anything bad about you staying in the capital to inherit the family business. Grandpa actually cares a lot about you. He’s just not good at expressing himself.”

In fact, Yin Tao really wanted Feng Jing to let go of his inner demons. His brother’s case had really troubled him for too long.

Others might not understand, but Yin Tao, who had read the original novel, knew very well what Feng Jing had experienced in the past and how much pain was hidden in his heart. It was unimaginable and difficult for anyone to bear.

“I understand, but I have something that I have to do. My mind is not on business.” Feng Jing didn’t know how to explain it to Yin Tao. In fact, after his brother’s accident, Feng Jing had been working hard to find the murderer.

“Brother Feng, if you finish what you have to do, I hope you can completely live for yourself once.”

Yin Tao remembered that in the original novel, Feng Jing was still alone after solving his brother’s case. He didn’t find love, nor did he have a successful career. Unlike Xi Feng, the male lead, Feng Jing seemed to have always been alone.

Feng Jing didn’t expect Yin Tao to say this. He also didn’t know why Yin Tao could tell that he had really lived for himself.

“Alright, I will. There is also someone special in my heart, and I do want to cherish her, so I will definitely live my best life.”

The two of them had an enjoyable meal. Other than Yin Tao being shocked by the size of the bill, the overall atmosphere was very good.

“Brother Feng, is your birthday banquet tomorrow going to be very grand?” Yin Tao remembered that Grandpa Feng had said that he planned to have a grander banquet this year. She couldn’t imagine how grand it would be.

“I think so. In the past, many relatives and friends would come. They said that it was for my birthday, but in fact, everyone wanted to take this opportunity to get together.”

As Feng Jing and Yin Tao walked out of the cafeteria, Feng Jing looked at the time and turned to Yin Tao. “It’s still early. I’ll bring you to the river for a walk”

Yin Tao nodded and quickly followed by Feng Jing’s side.

“Brother Feng, do you have many relatives in your family?” Yin Tao knew that the Feng family’s business wasn’t built up in a year or two. To be able to have such a solid base in the capital, the Feng family couldn’t possibly be as simple as they seemed.

“We’re alright, most of them are cousins. Compared to many aristocratic families, we aren’t that big. Otherwise, Grandpa wouldn’t keep urging me to get married.”

Feng Jing felt helpless at the mention of being urged to get married. Although it was actually very easy for Feng Jing to find a partner with his own qualities. He was a person who took relationships seriously. However, he didn’t want to invest too much of his energy on relationships.

“Just stay close to me tomorrow. You don’t have to worry about our relatives. You don’t have to greet them one by one.”

Feng Jing knew what Yin Tao was worried about and had already made plans for her. He planned to leave the party early with Yin Tao. In the past, he would only just show up at his birthday banquet, and he wasn’t planning on staying long this year either.

“Alright, I’ll stay close to you.” Yin Tao gradually relaxed when she heard what Feng Jing said.

Although she didn’t know most of the Feng family, Grandpa Feng and Feng Ya were very easy to get along with. Yin Tao felt so much care and concern from them, something she never felt in the Yin home.

However, although Yin Tao was mentally prepared, the scale of the Feng family’s banquet still frightened her.

On Feng Ya’s request, Yin Tao changed into an especially exquisite gray dress. Yin Tao was initially worried that she would be overdressed, but when she saw the state of the ballroom, Yin Tao actually felt that she was still a bit underdressed.

“Auntie, are these all people here to celebrate Brother Feng’s birthday?” Yin Tao looked at the dazzling lineup at the ballroom and felt that Feng Jing was merely teasing her yesterday.

“That’s right. Most of them are relatives and friends. There are also a few business partners, but they’re all relatively familiar with each other. After all, today’s banquet is just a family banquet.” Feng Ya acted as if she was used to it and didn’t notice Yin Tao’s surprise.

“Xiaotao, I’ll bring you to see Ah Jing.”

“Auntie, why don’t I follow you? Will Brother Feng be very busy?”

Yin Tao felt a little uneasy. It was not that she had not been to such occasions before, but it was obvious that everyone was here to celebrate Feng Jing’s birthday. Feng Jing would naturally be the center of everyone’s attention, and Yin Tao didn’t want to attract so much attention..
