Rain fell heavily that night. Yun Muqing kneeled in front of the gates for the entire night, not to apologize or seek redemption but to allow her to see her daughter and feed her with life-sustaining milk.

"Five years. It's been five years," Yun Muqing mumbled to herself as she closed her eyes.

Her hands and feet felt cold. Even though so much time had passed, she could never forget the helplessness, despair, and humiliation she felt that night.

A palm wrapped around her hand. It felt very warm.

Chu Feng smiled at her. "Don't worry. Now that I'm here with you, no one can bully you," he said. His voice was soft, but the authority was undeniable.

Yun Muqing nodded and smiled. She felt safe whenever she was with him.


"Let's go in."

Chu Feng and Yun Muqing approached the Yun family residence. A middle-aged woman decked out in fancy clothes and expensive jewelry ran up to Yun Muqing and took her hand. "You're finally here, Muqing. What took you so long?"

The woman was none other than Li Fenglan.

She bragged to the other women, "See? This is my daughter, Yun Muqing. She's the current CEO of Yun Group."

In Yun Group, her daughter's influence was only second to Yun Changqing. If this went on, she would become the next leader of the family. Li Fenglan's days of living the high life would not be far away.

Yun Muqing exchanged an awkward greeting with those other women before dragging her mother aside and grumbling, "Mother, can't you keep a low profile? I wonder what other people would think if you go on bragging like that."

"Why do I care what they think?" Li Fenglan crossed her arms and said matter-of-factly. "Why can't I take pride in my daughter's achievements? If their children aren't as accomplished, it's because the parents aren't as good as I am. Not many people are as lucky as you to have me as their mother. I'm at least 90 percent responsible for your achievements today."

Yun Muqing's face turned red. Even if no one else knew how she obtained her current position as CEO, she herself knew it very well. If Chu Feng had not supported her in secret, Yun Xiaoyue and Yun Jiaqiang would have kicked her out of the company.

Chu Feng chuckled derisively. I haven't seen anyone as shameless as her! What gives her the right to say that?
