Chapter 736: Chapter 684: Soone is Coming
Following the sound, all I saw was Liu Hun’s second aunt, her face filled with anger as she said, “If it weren’t for my tily glimpse of Liu Hun entering Widow Chen’s house last night, perhaps the Zhang Family would still be in the dark.”
Upon hearing Liu Hun’s second aunt’s words, old man Zhang trembled with fury, grabbed his cane, and swung it down towards the pale-faced Widow Chen’s forehead on the ground.
“Crack!” A crisp sound rang out, and the cane broke cleanly into two pieces.
The pain that was anticipated never ca, and as she lifted her gaze, Widow Chen saw the not-so-tall figure in front of her, using his arm to block the blow for her, and hesitated for a brief mont.
Liu Hun glanced at the bloodstain remaining on his arm, endured the pain, and coldly said to the couple in front of him, “She has served you selflessly for years and is also your daughter-in-law. Don’t you have any gratitude in your hearts?”
“Liu… Liu Hun! You still have the face to show up; if it wasn’t for you, how could today’s scene have happened? Our Zhang Family may be poor, but we are not shaless people!” As soon as old man Zhang saw Liu Hun, his anger intensified.
“Stealing another family’s wife and still talking shalessly, I’ve seen shaless people but never one as shaless as this,” said Liu Hun’s second aunt, seizing the opportunity to mock Liu Hun.
Liu Hun glanced at his second aunt and disdainfully said, “You talk as if Sister Chen has stolen soone. Do you have any evidence? On the other hand, you’re able to stand here and disdain others after having stolen soone yourself. I am sowhat curious how my uncle ever fell for a ‘public bus’ like you.”
“You! Watch your mouth, Liu Hun, I am your elder,” the second aunt retorted, her face turning quite ugly upon being spoken to like that.
“Liu Hun… get out! Our Zhang Family does not welco people from the Liu Family!” old man Zhang scowled at Liu Hun and roared loudly.
“Uncle, as the proverb says, ‘catch the adulterer in bed.’ You believe others solely on their word, isn’t that a bit too arbitrary?” Liu Hun frowned slightly.
If this matter was not clarified, Widow Chen would not only bear an everlasting bad reputation, but the elderly couple would also target her at every turn. Such an outco was the last thing Liu Hun wanted to see.
“As a doctor, I believe the villagers know my role. Last night I ca to your house to attend to Sister Chen’s illness,” Liu Hun explained to old man Zhang.
“Alright, to see a doctor, then. Can you tell us what exactly she is suffering from?” old man Zhang scoffed.
“I…” Liu Hun opened his mouth but didn’t say anything; after all, Widow Chen’s illness was too delicate a matter to be discussed in public, which would surely embarrass her.
“What’s the matter, can’t you answer, or are you at a loss for words?” old man Zhang glared furiously at Liu Hun.
Liu Hun felt sowhat helpless in the face of such a situation.
“I can prove that Hun was indeed coming over to see Widow Chen about her illness,” blurted out a loud and anxious voice from outside the courtyard at that mont.
Auntie Huang, slightly out of breath, walked into the yard and said to everyone, panting, “As soon as Hun ca back with the village chief last night, I told him that Widow Chen ca here to seek dical treatnt, and when she saw Hun was not around, she went back ho. So Hun, out of concern, ca over.”
“My, what a smooth talker you are, even bringing up ‘concern.’ Then why doesn’t he show concern for anyone else, only for Widow Chen?” Liu Hun’s second aunt did not miss a beat and attacked using Huang’s own words.
Old man Zhang’s face turned even uglier after being confronted by Liu Hun’s second aunt.
“Hun… did I… say sothing wrong?” Auntie Huang asked Liu Hun, looking slightly embarrassed by the situation.
“What else do you two have to say now?” old man Zhang asked, looking at them.
“Dad…”
“I’m not your dad, our Zhang Family doesn’t acknowledge you. If it wasn’t for you bringing death upon Wenqiang, he might still be living well by now!” old man Zhang ruthlessly scolded Widow Chen.
Watching Widow Chen’s face wet with tears, Liu Hun’s brow furrowed deeply, and then he asked Chen with a heavy voice, “Sister Chen…”
“Hun, this matter doesn’t involve you. Thank you for helping with my illness last night, but this matter… has nothing to do with you,” said Widow Chen.
Just as Liu Hun was at a loss for how to respond to Widow Chen, a group of people suddenly entered from outside the house.
“Such audacity! How dare you bully a mber of the Chen Family!” a crisp voice slowly filled the yard.
Looking in the direction of the voice, one saw a woman in her thirties dressed in professional attire, followed by several bodyguards in black suits, a powerful presence that instantly subdued everyone present in the scene.
“Rongrong, haven’t you suffered enough over the years? You insisted on being with that man, and even after his death, you’re still fulfilling the responsibility to look after his elderly parents, but what have you gotten in return? Is it just the insults and the stigma of a lifeti?” The woman ca up to Widow Chen, helped her up with a bit of pity, and said ruefully with a bitter smile.
“Everyone except you two, get out for a mont!” Chen Feifei’s indisputable tone silenced everyone in the room; even Old Man Zhang and his wife didn’t dare to retort.
“Do you like my sister?” Once everyone else had left, Chen Feifei asked Liu Hun, her gaze fixed on him.
“Cough…” Liu Hun hadn’t expected Chen Feifei to keep him behind just to ask him such a question.
“Don’t worry, my sister is very clean. The fact that her Maiden’s Mark is still there proves that she and Zhang Wenqiang didn’t consummate their marriage after they tied the knot,” Chen Feifei explained, thinking Liu Hun was worried about that issue.
“Sister, it’s not what you think, Hun just helped check my illness last night,” Chen Rongrong said, her cheeks flushing, upon hearing her elder sister’s blunt question to Liu Hun.
“Your na is Liu Hun, right? If you’re still a man, then just say it straight out,” Chen Feifei continued, obviously not paying attention to Chen Rongrong’s response and pressing Liu Hun for an answer.
“I’m still a child though…”
“Stop talking nonsense to your mother; do you really think I can’t tell? My sister is so beautiful; don’t you feel anything at all?” Chen Feifei asked assertively.
Feeling the domineering aura from Chen Feifei, Liu Hun stopped joking around. Chen Feifei’s high-handedness suddenly reminded Liu Hun of a woman from his past life, and in an instant, his expression beca calm.
“That’s right, when a man sees a beautiful woman, he might have so inappropriate thoughts, but that’s all it is….just thoughts.”
“That’s enough for . If it weren’t for the fact that you just helped block that old bastard’s stick for my sister, and considering she doesn’t want to leave this place, this good fortune would never have co your way. If you agree, I can give you one million to ensure you won’t have to worry about food and clothing.”
“You’re really underestimating , Liu Hun.”
“Five million!”
…
“Kid, human greed knows no bounds,” Chen Feifei said coldly, her eyes slightly squinting at Liu Hun.
“If you really want your sister to lead a better life, you shouldn’t be doing this. I don’t care; rather, it’s your sister. You’re insulting her.” Liu Hun lifted his eyelids and said indifferently to Chen Feifei in front of him.
“Ha, if you’re so clever, why don’t you tell ? How should I help my sister lead a better life?” Chen Feifei was amused by Liu Hun’s words and laughed as she questioned him.
“Isn’t your Chen Family quite wealthy, and didn’t your father get diagnosed with cancer? If I can save your old man, then your Chen Family has to agree to one of my demands, deal?” Liu Hun looked at Chen Feifei earnestly.
“Seeing is believing, hearing is not. If you miss this chance, perhaps there’s really no hope for your old man,” Liu Hun added, seeing through Chen Feifei’s thoughts.
“If you have so much confidence, then I might as well give it a try. But now, I’m curious, what exactly do you want?” Chen Feifei asked Liu Hun, intrigued by his self-assured deanor.
“Invest in Shanghe Village, and make it a world-class village!” Liu Hun said, his eyes gleaming.
“You… What does educating my daughter-in-law have to do with you?” Old Man Zhang was startled when he saw what was happening, but despite his worry and fear, he still managed to ask Chen Feifei loudly.
“Who I am has nothing to do with you. Just because my sister respects you doesn’t an I have to!” Chen Feifei turned her head and gave Old Man Zhang a cold glance.
“Sister, go back and tell dad and the others that this is my choice. I haven’t regretted it in the past, and I won’t regret it in the future either,” Rongrong declared stubbornly.
“Why do you have to do this to yourself? Dad has always been worried about you all these years; you know what his temper is like…” Chen Feifei shook her head, then said with a sigh, “If I hadn’t just happened to pass by today, who knows what might have happened.”
Chen Rongrong bit her lip hard but didn’t speak.
“Alright, when you’ve made up your mind, just call , okay? Oh, and by the way, dad was diagnosed with late-stage cancer at the hospital a while back, so I hope you can call soon.” After saying this, Chen Feifei scanned everyone in the room, her expression turning considerably colder as she warned, “If I find out that anyone dares to bully my sister again, don’t bla for not being polite. Don’t think that just because you’re from a small Shanghe Village or even Fenglin County, the Chen Family won’t take it seriously!”
The Chen Family was located in the Provincial City, and even by car, it would take half a day to travel from Shanghe Village. Liu Hun didn’t have much to do at ho these days, and if he could use this opportunity to cure the old Chen family patriarch’s illness, then Shanghe Village could rapidly develop. So, Liu Hun couldn’t pass up the chance.
Chen Rongrong also went to the Provincial City with Chen Feifei. Rongrong may have been headstrong all these years, but the person lying on the sickbed was still her father. Now that her father was suffering from cancer, as his daughter, she should at least go and see him.
