Chu Feng stood up as he gazed into the distance. He could see all the pain and challenges that Yun Muqing and Duo Duo went through when they were expelled from their family five years ago. Throughout those years, they solely relied on each other to keep their lives going.
Chu Feng was wrought in guilt and remorse. Yet, a sliver of tenderness could be felt from within.
Now that I've returned, I'll never let you two suffer the slightest grievance anymore.
"I made a promise to utilize all this glory I've gained to protect the two of them for the rest of their lives. This is just the beginning," Chu Feng uttered.
After leaving the bar, Chu Feng headed to the hospital to visit Zhou Lie.
Zhou Lie was recovering from the surgery. He had been receiving treatment provided by Tang Sisi. Moreover, Ma Sanyuan's men were patrolling outside the hospital to ensure his safety. Chu Feng was certain that he can set aside his worries.
After staying at the ward for some time, Chu Feng returned to Haitang Garden Mansion together with Yun Muqing. He finally had some time to take a break. Thus, he decided to reward his beloved daughter with some treats.
Chu Feng displayed his talents in cooking and served a table full of delicacies.
Yun Muyu and Duo Duo were amazed by the display. They then proceeded to scuffle over the food.
Duo Duo held on to Chu Feng's wrist, feeling aggrieved. She pouted her lips so much that one could hang a coat on them.
"Daddy, Aunt Muyu snatched my drumstick again. Hmph, bad Aunt Muyu!" Duo Duo complained.
Chu Feng lifted Duo Duo to comfort her. He spoke to Yun Muyu in an annoyed tone, "You're already a grown-up. Why can't you let her have it? She's still a child, you know."
"That’s exactly why I can't let her have it." Yun Muyu replied.
Her lips were all oily as she munched on the drumstick. She continued to say, "I'm teaching Duo Duo about the cruelty of society, that you can’t trust anyone."
She then added, "If you’d wanted to eat this drumstick, you should’ve been ruthless and quick-witted. Duo Duo, you ought to learn a trick or two from Aunt Muyu. Understand?"
Duo Duo was on the verge of crying as she witnessed Yun Muyu swiftly eating the final piece of chicken on the plate.
"Learn a trick or two from you? Is she supposed to learn to shamelessly crash at someone else's house, contribute nothing, and snatch a kid's toys and snacks? Is she supposed to learn to be flat-chested and malnourished like you? Is she supposed to learn to be single ever since birth, unable to get into a relationship, just like you?" Chu Feng criticized Yun Muyu.
Yun Muyu instantly felt her fragile heart crumble into pieces. The drumstick in her hand was no longer tasty.
That bastard not only stabbed me in the heart multiple times, he even rubbed salt all over my wounds!
