Isabella Comes

When Feng Ruili's mother passed away from illness, he was already in his early teens—old enough to understand most things.

His father, Feng Kang, took about a year to recover before bringing Chen Cai into their home.

How high were Feng Kang's standards?

The women he chose weren’t necessarily kind, but they were undeniably beautiful.

Back then, Feng Ruili had witnessed Chen Cai at the peak of her allure.

From childhood, Feng Ruili had harbored a certain fascination for this woman.

But unlike Feng Jian, Feng Ruili knew exactly where the line was drawn.

Over the years, he’d only ever indulged in fleeting thoughts, never once crossing that boundary.

Now, however, things had changed.

He knew Feng Kang’s temper well—Chen Cai would undoubtedly be cast out of the family.

Once that happened, she’d no longer be a Feng.

"Ruili, please… save me. I’ll do anything, just help me!"

Hearing a glimmer of hope, Chen Cai sobbed and clung to Feng Ruili’s leg.

Once, she’d schemed to wrest the family fortune from him. Now, all she wanted was to survive.

She understood perfectly—Dai Xiao and she were merely allies of convenience.

In the past, Dai Xiao might have intervened to protect her. But now? The balance of power had shifted.

The Feng family had their own ties to martial experts, and Dai Xiao wouldn’t dare provoke them.

Still, the Fengs couldn’t match the Dai family’s influence—after all, the Dais had their own martial experts within the clan.

Yet, as Feng Ruili had pointed out earlier, they had the means to make Dai Xiao disappear.

That alone was enough to keep Dai Xiao in check.

"Wait here for now. I’ll see how Father decides your fate."

Feng Ruili smiled faintly and walked out.

Downstairs, he noticed Feng Kang and Feng Jian weren’t in the living room.

But voices drifted from the study.

He approached and pushed the door open.

Feng Kang and Feng Jian stood inside, surrounded by five or six security guards.

"Boss, it’s here!"

A bodyguard dismantled a wall socket, revealing a hidden pinhole camera inside.

Honestly, the angle of the earlier footage had already hinted at its location.

"Are you sure you didn’t plant this?" Feng Kang’s gaze was icy as he stared at Feng Jian.

"Dad, I swear—if I’d gotten that video first, I’d have handed it to you privately. Family shame shouldn’t be aired in public."

Feng Jian raised three fingers in solemn oath.

Feng Kang rubbed his temples, then finally said, "Ruili, you handle this investigation. Find out when someone infiltrated our home."

With that, Feng Kang strode out, pulling out his phone to make a call.

The moment the line connected, his expression darkened. "Mr. Lin, I’m coming to see you."

Meanwhile, Xu Mu and the others had arrived at the Yang City branch office.

Xu Shou slung an arm around Xu Mu’s shoulders, grinning. "Kid, how the hell did you get your hands on that video?"

"I did some digging earlier. Feng Kang likes holding meetings in his study, so I had someone sneak in and plant a camera. Never expected such a juicy payoff."

Xu Mu couldn’t very well tell the truth.

If he admitted he’d known the plot—that Chen Cai and Dai Xiao had been using the study for their liaisons—Xu Shou would’ve thought he’d lost his mind.

"The Feng estate’s security is tight. Your guy actually slipped through?" Xu Shou chuckled.

"I have my ways," Xu Mu shrugged.

As they entered the office lobby, Li Yun hurried over. "Xiao Mu!"

"Auntie, let me introduce you—my old man, and my big sis."

Xu Mu gestured to Xu Shou and Xu Ningbing in turn.

Li Yun's body trembled. Since Xu Mu was the son of the chairman, then this middle - aged man in front of her was...

"Chairman!"

Li Yun was a bit flustered. After a careful look, she found that he did bear a vague resemblance to Xu Mu. "I'll inform Manager Liu right away."

"No need. I'll go up to see him myself."

Xu Shou let out a soft laugh.

He was really in a good mood today. His son had staged a great show for him.

The Feng family had originally wanted to assert their authority, but now they had become a laughingstock.

Xu Ningbing calmly glanced at Li Yun and then followed Xu Shou.

"I won't go."

Xu Mu said to the two of them.

"Okay. You go ahead with your business."

Xu Shou waved to Xu Mu and then stepped into the elevator.

Xu Mu also bid farewell to Li Yun and walked out of the company.

He took out his phone and was about to call Ye Tong to ask what they had done today.

However, he noticed that there was a black Rolls - Royce Phantom parked outside their company.

Xu Mu glanced at the license plate. It wasn't Xu Shou's car.

Using his perception, he found that the driver was a white man, and sitting in the back row was Isabella, the woman he had seen at the Feng family banquet before.

Xu Mu frowned tightly. What was this woman doing here?

The car stopped in front of Xu Mu, and the rear window glass rolled down, revealing Isabella's face.

Her blue eyes were like a deep lake. Looking at Xu Mu, she asked, "Is Chairman Xu here? He should know me. I'm Isabella."

"What do you want with my dad?"

Xu Mu was really curious. Logically speaking, she was part of Lin Yang's harem and should interact with Lin Yang.

Why did she come to their company?

Hearing this, Isabella opened the door and got out of the car, then walked up to Xu Mu.

Xu Mu hadn't observed closely at the Feng family manor before. This woman was very beautiful.

She had a somewhat reserved kind of beauty, which was different from most Westerners in people's impression.

Moreover, her figure was also very good. Although it couldn't compare with Xu Ningbing's, it was at least a D - cup.

"I'm curious about what's so special about the company that the Feng family tried to suppress," Isabella said calmly. "I just did some research. I'm very interested in your weight - loss pills."

Xu Mu was a bit surprised. He didn't expect that instead of suppressing them successfully, the Feng family had actually advertised for the Xu family.

"My dad is inside. Please come in."

Xu Mu sent a message to Xu Shou.

He remembered that Xu Shou had always wanted to expand the market overseas.

Wasn't this an opportunity today? He thought he should help Xu Shou seize this woman.

"Okay."

Isabella nodded gently.

"Our company doesn't only have weight - loss pills. There are also several other powerful drugs. For example, I'm a medical student."

Xu Mu smiled at Isabella.

Isabella just nodded politely. She had seen many people like this who showed off as soon as they had a little skill.

"Miss Isabella, I think you'd better stay up less in the future. Otherwise, the headache you get every afternoon will only get worse."

Xu Mu suddenly said.

Hearing this, Isabella was completely stunned.

Xu Mu didn't just say it was bad for her health. Instead, he specifically mentioned the afternoon headache.

How did he know?

"Did you... investigate me?"

Isabella looked at Xu Mu in disbelief.

"I met you for the first time at the Feng family today. I just know a little about medicine."

Xu Mu smiled and spread his hands. "Stop taking painkillers. They only treat the symptoms, not the root cause. Taking them for a long time is also harmful to your body."

Isabella stared at him in disbelief. How did he even know this?

"It's not a serious illness. Go out and enjoy life more. Don't put so much pressure on yourself all the time," Xu Mu continued.

[Favorability + 10]

Isabella gently tucked her long hair behind her ear, touched deep inside.

This guy seems to be quite gentle.

"Ha ha ha! Welcome, welcome!"

Just then, Xu Shou walked over from afar.

He looked at Isabella's expression. Something seemed off.

Come to think of it, this woman was quite good. It would be nice if she could give birth to a mixed - race grandson for him.

Xu Shou shook his head slightly. He'd better take things one step at a time.

First, he needed to figure out a way to solve Xu Ningbing's problem.
