Chapter 1039: Chapter 1044: Chancellor Su Summons

Hearing this voice, Lin Feng felt a bit emotional. It seemed that Su Zhenxian’s illness was far more serious than he had imagined. He recalled watching a video of Su Zhenxian delivering a speech when he took office as chancellor a few years ago. Back then, Su was full of vigor and confidence, a world apart from his current weary demeanor.

In response to Old Su’s overwhelming critique, Lin Feng merely smiled and, in a calm tone, said to the person on the other end of the phone, "Old Su, you’re flattering me. Being bold has always been my biggest trait..."

Hearing Lin Feng’s self-assured words, Su Zi and Ning Aoxue couldn’t help but look surprised. They knew that the person on the other end of the call was no ordinary person. How could Lin Feng be so bold to speak to him like that?!

Only Xue Qingyi remained unfazed, gently swirling the wine in her glass, watching with a calm expression and no hint of surprise.

"Cough, cough..." A light cough was heard from the other end, clearly indicating Su Zhenxian’s surprise at Lin Feng’s audacity in his words.

"Boy, do you not know who I am? I mean, my specific position?" Su Zhenxian finally managed to control his emotions and asked in a peculiar tone.

"No, Mr. Elder Su, I am well aware that you are a chancellor of our China..." Lin Feng replied calmly.

"Then you still dare to speak to me like this?" Su Zhenxian seemed a bit puzzled.

"I can’t help it..." Lin Feng chuckled, "Another of my strong points is being particularly honest..."

The other end of the phone went silent suddenly. After a long pause, Su Zhenxian’s voice came again wistfully, "To make such jokes with an old man, you really are bold. Pass the phone to Su Zi, I have a few words for her..."

Lin Feng handed the phone to Su Zi as instructed.

Su Zi looked at Lin Feng nervously, extending her hands to carefully take the phone.

"Girl, I’m quite interested in that classmate of yours, bring him home tomorrow for a visit!"

Su Zhenxian’s words left Su Zi momentarily stunned. It took her a long while to realize the call had ended at some point. She looked at Lin Feng with a strange expression and murmured, "Lin Feng, my dad...he said he wants to meet you..."

This time, even Xue Qingyi was a bit surprised. It was one thing for Lin Feng to not be intimidated by Su Zhenxian, but for Su Zhenxian to invite Lin Feng as a guest was quite another!

As a chancellor of China, Su Zhenxian had many acquaintances of all sorts, but how many guests could truly step into his home? Inviting Lin Feng indicated a certain acknowledgment, even if the Su Family’s current circumstances weren’t great, such acknowledgment wasn’t easy to come by...

In fact, Su Zi knew best; this was almost unprecedented for her father to have her bring a male classmate home as a guest. Such a situation had never happened before!

Su Zi looked at Lin Feng curiously, wondering what kind of magic he possessed to capture her father’s interest so keenly.

Lin Feng himself was a bit surprised. He didn’t think his casual words would pique Su Zhenxian’s interest, silently speculating on Su Zhenxian’s intentions, and eventually focused on Su Zi. Perhaps Old Su was still concerned about matters concerning Su Zi, which prompted him to arrange a meeting and talk.

Meeting Su Zhenxian came with pressure, after all, he was the chancellor of a nation, the second person in China, not someone you could easily brush off, but backing down was not Lin Feng’s style.

"Well, Su Zi, I’ll take you home tomorrow..." Lin Feng said with an indisputable tone, glancing at Su Zi.

Su Zi just nodded gently, her eyes darting around as if thinking of something.

At this moment, Ning Aoxue, holding the phone she received from Su Zi, suddenly exclaimed anxiously, "Lin Feng, just now Teacher Xu called me multiple times; what should I do?"

"Right, where is Teacher Xu now?" Lin Feng suddenly remembered he hadn’t seen Xu Jing since moving into the Pinghu Hotel.

"I don’t know..." Ning Aoxue looked at Lin Feng somewhat embarrassed, "When Su Zi invited me to dinner tonight, Teacher Xu stayed alone in her room on the fourth floor..."

"Then why don’t you call back to check on the situation..." Lin Feng’s expression darkened. Leaving Xu Jing alone at the Pinghu Hotel for such a long time; what if something happened to her? Besides, even if she was fine, the fact that they slipped away for so long might have made her extremely worried.

Finally realizing, Ning Aoxue picked up the phone in a bit of a panic, dialing Xu Jing’s number to report the current situation in detail.

"It’s already late, anyway this suite has two rooms, why not rest here for the night..." Lin Feng looked at Su Zi and Xue Qingyi, suggesting.

"Rest indeed is needed, but since there’s only two rooms, how do we allocate them?" Xue Qingyi asked with a playful smile, raising an eyebrow at Lin Feng.

Logically speaking, Ning Aoxue and Su Zi were roommates in Jiangzhou, and Xue Qingyi and Lin Feng had already defined themselves as having a "pure male-female relationship," so Xue Qingyi’s question seemed unnecessary, yet she deliberately brought it up.

Upon hearing Xue Qingyi’s question, Su Zi also perked up her ears, her small hands nervously rubbing together as she shot glances at Lin Feng. Even though she knew Lin Feng’s relationship with Xue Qingyi was deep, Su Zi hoped Lin Feng wouldn’t spend the night before going home with her in a room with Xue Qingyi.

Lin Feng felt a bit awkward, dodging around, "Well, let’s see...whatever you all prefer..." 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝓮𝒘𝙚𝙗𝒏𝙤𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝒐𝙢

"Then let me decide!" Xue Qingyi glanced at the somewhat nervous Su Zi, and suddenly said with a smile, "The three of us girls will share a room, and you can have a room by yourself!"

Su Zi finally breathed a sigh of relief. Although she wasn’t thrilled to share a room with Xue Qingyi, it was better than having her and Lin Feng share a room alone.

Lin Feng also relaxed, knowing Xue Qingyi was just teasing him earlier. After a chuckle, he casually found a room and pushed the door open to enter.

That night, calm and without any unexpected incidents Lin Feng anticipated, the following day, after he got up, Xue Qingyi and Ning Aoxue first left to return to the Pinghu Hotel to meet with Xu Jing, while Su Zi, with a nervous look on her face, waited anxiously for him to go out.

"You’re just returning home, why are you more nervous than me, the one summoned by name..." Lin Feng looked at Su Zi with a smile, teasingly asking.

"You don’t understand..." Su Zi shook her head, "This time I’m not just going home; I’m facing a tribunal of three..."

"A tribunal of three?" Lin Feng asked curiously.

Su Zi looked bitter and didn’t explain, "You’ll see when we get there..."
