Female Novel
Chapter 9
Zhou Lie hissed and gnashed his teeth, his forehead covered in cold sweat even as he laughed. “Feelsgood! Great! That’s the damn stuff. Boy, your old man’s been a soldier all his life, and it’s so boring nowthat I’ve retired. Luckily, this wound can keep me entertained on a rainy day, so it’s a good thing, really.”
He clapped a hand on Chu Feng’s shoulder, then put on a grim expression as he continued, “Boy, theChamber of Commerce of the Four Seas is just a bunch of hooligans and street criminals, and youhave better things to do than messing with them. I forbid you from avenging me or even go looking forthem, and I’ll disown you if you do. You hear me?”
He was afraid that Chu Feng would try to fight them, and terrified that he would die trying. Zhou Liehimself was already getting old, so what could he do except bear the pain?
“Alright.” Chu Feng immediately agreed, then fell silent.
“Coward,” Zhou Ying mocked as Chu Feng walked past her. “If you’ve got the guts, then get MaSanyuan to apologize to Dad and take our land title back. Can you do that?”
“Ying Ying!” Zhou Lie roared.
“You're right, I can’t.” Chu Feng looked into the distance with narrowed eyes; after all, a dead mancould not apologise.
With the banquet ruined, no one was in the mood to celebrate and they were all stewing in melancholy.Sun Mingxuan, on the other hand, was over the moon as the man of the hour and his wine somehowtasted better than before! Now, everyone knew how Chu Feng had failed to fulfill his duty of filial pietyafter ten years of having forsaken the family. Now, they all knew that he, the son-in-law, had selflessly
dedicated himself to the family for over three years and the difference between him and Chu Feng werelike heaven and earth. Not only was everything going his way, he’d manage to put Chu Feng firmly inhis place too, so he was feeling vindicated.
“Ying Ying! I have a gift for you! A special gift!” He called out when the banquet was almost over, stillbasking in his joy at being vindicated. “This gift cost me a lot, so I saved this for last to surprise you.”
He made a call on his phone and said, “Bring it in!”
Vroom!
An engine let out a deafening roar and drove the crowd wild, sobering up the drunk guests in an instantwhile they watched a fiery red, cool-looking Maserati cruise in. The cool appearance immediatelyelicited screams from the crowds, and all of them were either taking photos or sharing the news withtheir friends.
“Do you like it, Ying Ying? This is my gift to you.” Sun Mingxuan turned to her with a devoted look.“Starting today, you are its owner!”
The women in the crowd were overwhelmingly envious; this car was worth at least a million. How muchmore blessed could Zhou Ying possibly be? Meanwhile, Zhou Ying herself was touched to the point oftearing up as she cried, “Thank you, hubby!” Even as she basked in joy, she couldn’t help but turnaround and look at Chu Feng in the corner. He still looked calm and stood tall like a mountain, with nodiscernible changes in his expression.
“Hah, he’s just pretending to be mysterious!” Zhou Ying scoffed with disdain. The man must be feeling
so shameful, jealous and angry right now that he couldn’t wait to disappear. You see, Chu Feng? Thisis the gap between our status. Dad can love you all he wants, you can be as prideful as you want, butso what? We’re no longer in the same league! You used to ignore me, but now I’m completelyunattainable to you—
“Mom, Dad. I’m going, I’ll visit again when I have the time,” Chu Feng said, feeling a bit bored; it wastime he left.
“What, already?” Liu Minglan was a little reluctant but after some thought, she nodded and said with aconcerned look. “Then take care.” As members of the same family, Zhou Ying was getting all theattention while Chu Feng himself received none, he must be feeling so bad.
Zhou Lie’s eyes widened and he snorted, “Remember, don’t go to the Chamber of Commerce of theFour Seas, or I’ll disown you!”
“Okay.” Chu Feng nodded and strode out. The moment he did so—
Vroom!
An extra-long Lincoln limousine slowly cruised in. Its stable and majestic design, combined with itsluxurious accessories, exuded a kingly aura despite lacking the lively, loud roar of a Ferrari; it was likea member of royalty having descended upon the crowd, unmovable like a mountain.
With a screech, the car stopped and instantly became the center of attention. Compared to SunMingxuan’s Maserati, the Lincoln was like a tiger facing down a kitten; they weren’t even in the sameleague!
Sun Mingxuan was stunned into silence, while Zhou Ying’s smile was frozen on her face.
The crowd took an audible gasp, then went wild like a bowl of water in sizzling oil.
“I say, an extra-long Lincoln! This must be worth at least twenty million, and there’s only a handful ofthem in the whole country.”
“Not just that! This is the car used to transport the president of that other country, so money alone won’tget you this! I can count only three people worthy of this in all of Jiangling.”
“W-Which big shot is coming to have called for such a car? Mingxuan’s father?”
Zhou Ying glanced at Sun Mingxuan in surprise. Judging by his similarly shocked expression, she wascertain this had nothing to do with him.
“Keep going.” Zhou Ying squeezed Sun Mingxuan’s hand. “I believe we’ll have all of this someday.”Sun Mingxuan smiled at that, having regained his confidence. Just then, Chu Feng stepped forwardand put a hand on the Lincoln.
“You know this car?” Sun Mingxuan asked disdainfully.
“Not really.” Chu Feng said. novelbin
With an arrogant and delighted look, Sun Mingxuan started explaining, “This car is a completelyhandmade Lincoln limousine, a classic from the interior decor to the exterior lines. Even if you soldyourself, you wouldn’t raise enough to even afford a screw on this car. I—”
With a clack, Chu Feng opened the car door and slid in in front of everyone’s watchful gazes.
He sat in there?!
Vroom.
After revving up, the car sped off and left everyone in the dust. Everyone at the scene could feelthemselves turning into stone, their jaws dropped so widely they could fit a whole coconut inside. Thecar was… for Chu Feng?!
Right then and there, Zhou Lie’s eyes lit up and he burst out laughing, “See that? I knew I sawsomething in him. My son is capable, and in the coolest way. Hey, Sun Mingxuan! Feng’s car is worthtwenty million, enough to buy out your family’s whole company, and you ask him to scrub your toilets?”Zhou Lie scoffed mockingly, “You’re so cool.”
Sun Mingxuan felt himself tense up; the cold wind was like slaps to his face, one after the other as theysmacked right on his arrogant face. They felt so real that he could almost hear the smacking sound itmade.
Meanwhile, Zhou Ying felt her heart skip a beat. She had a feeling that there was something betweenher and Chu Feng, something important that was now broken beyond repair… What was going on?
At the same time, Chu Feng instructed Luo Gang in the car, “To the Chamber of Commerce of the FourSeas.” His murderous aura was palpable. “I’m going to kill someone.”
