Chapter 42
“Yun Tao, tell Grandpa that I stopped being a Yun when he disowned me five years ago. He has no power and certainly no right to control who I marry and how I live my life,” Yun Muqing argued reasonably. In the distance, she could see Chu Feng playing with Duo Duo, and an idea struck her. “Besides, I already have a boyfriend. Duo Duo likes him, and so do I, and we’ve already promised ourselves to each other. So if Young Master Li likes being cuckolded, then let him come.” Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.
Yun Muqing went on the offensive as her defensive strategy and used Chu Feng as a shield, thinking this would make Yun Tao and Young Master Li retreat. But she’d underestimated the pettiness and cruelty of these wealthy heirs because on the other end.
Yun Tao fell silent for a while before laughing maniacally. “Not bad. Yun Muqing. A pure virgin on the outside, but a cuckolding sl*t on the inside? Is it the same bastard who slapped me and broke my arm the other day? Fine! Then we’ll settle our old grudges and new debts in one go! You know what Young Master Li is like, so prepare to pay the price a thousand times over, now that you’ve shamed him!” Yun Tao’s tone grew darker and colder. Then, he spat out a parting word, “Prepare a coffin, so you can collect that bastard’s body!”
Yun Tao ended the call decisively, leaving nothing but a dial tone. Yun Muqing, though, immediately changed her expression to one of fear; she’d miscalculated and forgotten about the Li family’s first born heir, and now Chu Feng was in danger because of her.
Li Ziyang, the eldest son of the Li family, appeared gentle and sophisticated on the outside, like a prince, but those who knew him were aware of his cruelty, like a wolf in sheep’s skin. All the business competitors who’d gone against him had either ended up in car accidents or mysteriously encountered robberies or even physical assaults. At best, they’d get a few broken limbs; at worst, entire families were hurt.
There was a rumor that three years ago, some guy tried to court Li Ziyang’s girlfriend with what little charm he had. When Li Ziyang found out, he sent his men to break all four of the guy’s limbs before dumping him inside the den of some rabid dogs that roamed the mountains. That man had to watch himself being torn to pieces and eaten alive by the whole pack. As if that wasn’t cruel enough, Li Ziyang periodically sent someone to give him medical assistance in order to prolong his agony, and this psychopathic behaviour continued for three whole days before the man finally died. To this day, a man’s agonising wails could be heard throughout the mountains late at night, every night, which was rumored to be the man’s vengeful spirit that remained there.
And now, if that maniac found out that Chu Feng had ruined his wedding, shamed him and made him the laughing stock of the Jiangling elite class, then… Yun Muqing shuddered, her limbs turning cold and her face turning pale.
“Mommy!” Just then, Duo Duo ran to Yun Muqing’s side. “Mommy, what are you doing? I’ve been calling for you so many times.” She pouted, then took Yun Muqing’s hand and played cute. “Are you mad because I’ve been playing with Daddy so much instead of you? Hmm? Mommy, why are your hands so cold?”
Yun Muqing composed herself, took a deep breath, and patted Duo Duo’s head fondly as she said, “Good girl, Duo Duo. Mommy’s okay.”
Chu Feng walked over and glanced at Yun Muqing, then told her in a manner that both calmed her and made her feel safe, “If you need any help, just ask.” He had the feeling that there was something wrong with Yun Muqing. That, or someone threatened her.
“I’m alright.” Yun Muqing shook her head. “Chu Feng, there’s something I must take care of. Can you send Duo Duo to the kindergarten for me today?” She’d decided to visit the Yun family and talk with her grandfather while taking full responsibility for what happened, without involving Chu Feng in this mess. He’d helped her so many times now, and if Li Ziyang sought revenge against him
because of her, then she’d never be able to forgive herself. “Remember, if Yun Tao comes for you, do not agree to anything he asks no matter what!” She looked straight at him, repeating her words for emphasis.
