A bitter smile appeared on Feng Ze's face.
"Another family-arranged marriage, isn't it?"
Feng Zeliu remained silent.
Feng Zejian stood up. “Patriarch, you are a good patriarch, and I respect you. The Feng Ze family will only get better and better under your leadership. My father and mother are just ordinary people and pose no threat to you. Although Feng Zeli is outstanding, she is just a little girl who is good at dancing. To you, I am the one who poses the greatest threat.”
"I don't know how much you know about me, but I can assure you that I will not threaten Feng Zeming's legitimate position."
Feng Zeliu nodded in satisfaction.
"Although I know you have other ambitions, I am still very happy to hear you say these words."
"I want to go and pay respects to my ancestors."
"Go ahead, go out, turn left to the end, turn right and walk to the end."
"Thank you, Master."
Feng Zejian left without hesitation.
Watching Feng Zejian's retreating figure, Feng Zeliu murmured, "If your heart were here, the Feng Ze family might be even more glorious than before. What a pity."
Following Feng Zeliu's directions, Feng Zejian arrived at the Feng Ze family's ancestral hall.
The young people of the Fengze family entered the ancestral hall one after another to worship.
Feng Zejian also went inside.
The place was still quite empty, but there were quite a few people.
Feng Zeli appeared in front of Feng Zejian and handed him the incense.
"Brother, here's the incense for the offering. One for you, one for me."
Feng Ze passed by.
Feng Zejian leaned against a pillar, looking at the incense in his hand.
My thoughts drifted away.
During his previous conversation with Feng Zeliu, Feng Zejian learned some family secrets.
But his thoughts weren't on that; they were on Uesugi Katai.
The tragedy of arranged marriages may be repeated with Uesugi Katai.
Feng Zeli pulled Feng Zejian and said, "Brother, there are empty seats over there, let's go quickly."
The two walked towards the spot where there were still seats available.
Feng Zejian and Feng Zeli were less than ten centimeters away from the futon.
Just as the two were about to take their spots, two disciples from the Fengze family forced their way in.
This is the same as cutting in line, and Feng Zeli was a little angry.
"What do you mean?"
The two disciples glanced back and laughed, "Isn't it whoever grabs it first? Besides, the worship ceremony won't take long. Why don't you wait, or go look somewhere else?"
"Brother, look at them."
Feng Zejian was also helpless.
"They're being unreasonable, there's nothing I can do but wait."
The two disciples were somewhat displeased.
"What do you mean by being unreasonable?"
Feng Zejian looked surprised.
"Is this urgent?"
Feng Zejian did not give the other party a chance to speak.
"If you're in a hurry, then you can have it. You should still have some magnanimity in front of our ancestors."
Turning around, I walked to the central area of the ancestral hall, held incense sticks in both hands, and bowed.
He then turned and left.
Feng Zeli followed suit, went to Feng Zejian's spot, and offered incense.
Feng Zeli quickly caught up with Feng Zejian and began to complain.
"They really went too far."
"It seems we're not very popular. Anyway, you and your parents will leave soon. I have some things to do here, so I'll be going now."
"Ah~?"
Feng Zeli was thinking of taking this opportunity to repair their relationship.
Kazema sent a message to Yanase Saya to let her know that he had left.
Chapter 207 Visiting Uesugi Kata
After briefly pausing by the lotus pond in the courtyard, and seeing that the old turtle did not resurface, they left without lingering.
After walking for a while, Feng Zejian finally reached a place where he could hail a taxi.
He then picked up the phone and called Uesugi Yoshitomo.
There was no answer on the other end. Feng Zejian stared blankly at the asphalt road in front of him and the ever-changing traffic on both sides.
Just then, Uesugi Yoshita called.
Three seconds later, Feng Zejian reacted and answered the phone.
The first sentence from the other end surprised Feng Zejian.
"Why did it take you so long to call me?"
"Saki said you've been in a bad mood lately, so I didn't call."
“You’re different; you can do it anytime.”
Feng Zejian chuckled softly.
"That would be an honor. Where are you now? Is it convenient for us to meet? I'd like to see you."
"I'll send you the address. When you get downstairs, text me and I'll come down to meet you."
"it is good."
Feng Zejian looked at the location sent to his phone.
This is a private hospital whose name I've hardly heard of, and it's located in Chiyoda Ward.
This area is considered the heart of Tokyo.
Kazema waited for a car by the roadside for a while, and when the car arrived, he got in and headed to a private hospital in Chiyoda Ward.
Once they reached the vicinity of the private hospital, taxis could no longer pass, so Fengzejian had to walk there on his own.
Upon arriving at the designated location, Feng Zejian's mouth slightly agape.
This is indeed a hospital, but there are several checkpoints at the hospital entrance, and the security guards here are armed.
Feng Zejian walked to the gate and took the initiative to tell the guards what was going on.
"Hello, I'm here to meet a friend. Can I stop here to make a phone call? My friend will come out to meet me."
The guard was taken aback.
The guard had a serious expression and looked rather fierce; laughing and joking weren't allowed in a place like this.
The guard thought for a few seconds and nodded.
"Then hurry up."
He made a phone call right in front of the guards.
"My friend will be here soon, I need to wait a little longer."
After waiting for about ten minutes, a beautiful figure approached from afar.
The guards saw the newcomers and let them pass without saying a word.
Uesugi Kazuma linked arms with Kazesawa.
"Let's go in."
Feng Zejian noticed the troubled look on the guard's face.
"Let the guard check it out. After all, I'm an outsider, and it would be difficult to explain even if nothing happened."
The guard cast a grateful glance at him.
Feng Zejian arrived at the inspection room.
Do I need to take off all my clothes?
The guard nodded.
"Yes."
Feng Zejian took off his clothes.
The two guards checked each piece of clothing as it was removed, going through the process twice.
Feng Zejian, with the help of two guards, conducted a full-body inspection, which was unavoidable in this situation.
Seeing that, the two of them suppressed a laugh. "Young man, not bad."
Feng Zejian smiled.
"Haha, please excuse my poor attempt."
After they finished dressing, one of them used a scanner to scan Feng Zejian's entire body.
This mainly involves people using their bodies to hide things.
This place seems to be quite extraordinary.
"Thanks for your cooperation."
"It should."
Kazema put on his clothes and went to Uesugi Kata, who had been waiting for a long time.
The two walked in confidently.
Uesugi Yoshimasa has lost some weight, but she looks quite well, probably because her grandmother's condition has improved.
“Honey, I thought you would just call to ask, why did you suddenly decide to come see me?”
"After learning about some things, I thought of you and wanted to come and see you."
Uesugi Kazuma looked at Kazesawa, and to be honest, she was very moved.
This was the first time Feng Zejian had taken the initiative to come to him.
Feng Zejian remarked, "This place is indeed heavily guarded."
"These are all important political figures living here, so how can we not be careful?"
Feng Zejian also expressed his understanding.
"Where are we going next?"
"I also need to take care of my grandma, so of course I'll go to the ward."
Feng Zejian then asked, "In that case, should I prepare some gifts, like flowers or something?"
"I don't need those. Grandma just wants to see you too."
"To be honest, I feel a bit pressured to see you."
"It's alright, Grandma is very easygoing, you'll see when you meet her."
The two entered the hospital.
The stairs are all locked; only the elevator is accessible.
