Leng Jinjie was a member of the Pei family, after all. The Pei family was not just any ordinary second-tier wealthy family. Although the Chi family had already drawn a line with the Pei family, the support behind the Pei family was not as simple as having the Chi family as their only backer. The daughter of the Pei family, who was also Pei Jiaxiang's paternal aunt, was now the daughter-in-law of the Shi family. The Shi family was a first-tier wealthy family who was powerful enough to go against the Chi family. Although the Shi family came last place among the Four Dominant Families, this ranking was outdated. The current Shi family was no longer the same as before. Even the Ning family and the Xiao family had been on the receiving end of the Shi family's shenanigans several times.
Therefore, even though Selina was the Duke of Luntan's daughter and the vice president of Imperial Phoenix Group, Leng Jinjie was not afraid to go against Selina.
