Yun Jiaming’s face was ashen. He held his head down, clenched his fists, and punched his amputated leg, as though he was blaming himself for being useless.

“Don’t be like that, Dad,” said Yun Muqing as she stopped him. She wiped her tears while refuting her mother, “That’s too much, Mom. Didn’t we live lavishly before Dad’s accident? We used to live in a villa and drive luxury cars.

“Dad had to resign after his leg was amputated, but you didn’t change. You continued to live excessively and used up the family fortune. You can’t blame our predicament on anyone else but yourself. As a wife, instead of taking care of the household, helping your husband, and teaching your children, you constantly complain about the family while being extremely greedy. Ask yourself, do you qualify as a wife?”

Li Fenglan could not find a retort to that. In her desperation, she said, “So you think you can talk back to your mother just because you’ve grown up? Look at the daughter you’ve raised, Yun Jiaming!”

As the tension in the room was building up, Chu Feng stood up, poured two cups of tea, and said, “That’s enough, Muqing, you should save your words.”

“Mrs. Mu, Muqing is right. As a family, we should not only share our riches but also our hardships. As long as a family is united, they can overcome most obstacles.”

Li Fenglan frowned and threw the teacup that Chu Feng offered her. She pointed at Chu Feng’s nose and scolded, “Who do you think you are to tell me what to do? Do you think you’re old enough to teach me about moral principles?”

She had been looking for an outlet to vent her anger, and Chu Feng happened to be there.

“You unlucky jinx, nothing good has happened in our family ever since you came along. This is all your fault! First, you ruined her marriage with Mr. Li. Now, you’ve caused Muqing to lose the contract and ruined her chances of promotion. It’s all your fault, you useless bum!”

Chu Feng frowned. He had been all but civil toward Li Fenglan, but she responded like a mad dog.

“You’re too much, Mom. Why are you scolding Chu Feng when he hasn’t even offended you?” said Yun Muqing angrily, speaking up for Chu Feng.

“Hmph! He is incapable and incompetent. That’s a grave offense!” Li Fenglan crossed her arms and grunted, then continued, “Chu Feng, aren’t you Muqing’s husband? If you’re so capable, snatch the deal back and make Yun Xiaoyue give up her position for my daughter. Can you do that?”

Yun Muqing said in exasperation, “Mom, what does this have to do with Chu Feng? How could you…”

“Of course!”

At that moment, Chu Feng suddenly spoke with a calm yet confident voice.

“I promise you, before noon tomorrow, Yun Xiaoyue will hand the deal back to Muqing willingly. I’ve told you, Muqing, no one can take away what belongs to you.”

Yun Muqing and her family looked at Chu Feng with utter shock.

Why would Yun Xiaoyue hand the deal back when she had already laid claim on it? That was like giving away a golden goose.

Either hell had frozen over, or she must have hit her head on something!
