The guests around the table shot haughty glances at Chu Feng, gloating over his misfortune.

It was only human nature that they kicked Chu Feng while he was down.

Only Zhou Yong reacted differently. He coughed twice and glared at his wife.

Chu Feng smiled calmly. He showed no expression on his face.

By this time, Zhou Li noticed Chu Feng, who had been sitting there quietly. She raised her eyebrows and thought for a while. "You are… Chu Feng? From Uncle Lie's family? I haven't seen you in more than ten years, and you've grown a lot taller."

Zhou Li regarded Chu Feng's unremarkable clothes condescendingly. She thought he was another one of those "leeches" that tried to mooch off her family.

Chu Feng nodded and smiled at her, which made Zhou Li even more unhappy. She wondered why Chu Feng seemed so nonchalant even though he was here to beg for money.

Moreover, everyone in attendance was an accomplished business owner. It was very arrogant for Chu Feng to think he deserved to be in the same room.

Xu Yiming, still giddy from the attention he received, raised his eyebrows and smiled, "Mr. Zhou, who's that?"

"Oh, let me introduce him to you, Yiming. He is Chu Feng, my nephew. My brother Lie adopted him," Zhou Yong laughed heartily and said without reservation. "When I was in Jiangling, that boy was good friends with my daughter Li. I was even thinking of getting Li to marry him when they grew up. Hahaha!"

The atmosphere became awkward as soon as he said that. Xu Yiming pressed his lips together. It sounded like he was only a second choice.

Yu Hui pinched Zhou Yong annoyedly. "Keep your mouth shut if you don't have anything better to say! Our daughter isn't engaged to that loser in any way! Don't overthink it, Yiming."

"Yes, Dad! What nonsense was that?" Zhou Li stomped her foot angrily. She shot Chu Feng a disgusted glare and turned her head away.

That useless b*stard child was not worthy of marrying her!

She was even wondering if Chu Feng had gone there to mess with her deliberately.

"Yiming, there's nothing between me and Chu Feng. It's been more than ten years since we last met. I barely know him!" Zhou Li said pitifully, eager to keep her distance from Chu Feng.

Chu Feng smirked knowingly. She barely knows me?

As far as he remembered, he was extremely close to Zhou Ying and Zhou Li when they were children.

Whatever friendship they had was cruelly lost to the ravages of time. Indeed, he was practically strangers with Zhou Li now.
