Chapter 44 Showing Mercy
Duo Duo immediately shook her head, then lowered it in contemplation.
“That’s why you must be an obedient good kid, and go to school,” Chu Feng patted her head fondly, then said in a gentle manner. “Come on, Duo Duo. I’ll pick you up after school today and make you some good food. Then on the weekend, you can have a day off and we can all go to the mall, the playground and play as much as you want. What do you say?”
Duo Duo’s eyes lit up immediately and she cheered.k “Really, Daddy? You wouldn’t lie to Duo Duo, would you? Every time Mommy said she’ll take me out to play, she breaks her promise because an emergency happens and she has to work overtime, so she leaves me to do my homework all alone at home.” The girl became sad and dejected again.
Chu Feng’s heart tightened, and he said firmly, “Really. Daddy keeps his promises.”
“Yay! Daddy’s the best. I love you.” Duo Duo became happy again and kissed him on the cheek before rushing off to kindergarten, waving to Chu Feng before she left.
“Such a clever trickster.” Chu Feng put a hand to his cheek, savoring the bliss in his heart. This kind of life was actually quite nice, comfortable and enviable, if it weren’t for the stubborn eyesores who kept bothering people like disgusting flies.
Chu Feng stood up straight and released his intimidating aura, then glanced at the nearby intersection and said monotonously, “You’ve been following us for so long. Come out.”
A minute later, a Cruiser appeared and a fashionable, tuxedo-clad young man hopped out of the car with a mocking expression. “Not bad. You must have great alertness to have spotted me like this.” It was Yun Muqing’s cousin, Yun Tao.
Chu Feng remained calm. He’d noticed someone was following them half an hour ago, and the only reason he’d ignored Yun Tao was because he didn’t want to interrupt the quality time he was spending with Duo Duo. But now that she was in kindergarten, he had all the time he needed to play their game.
“Smooth, man. Not only did you score Yun Muqing herself, even her daughter listens to you completely and calls you ‘Daddy’. Did Yun Muqing tell you that girl was conceived out of wedlock, after fooling around in a bar?” Yun Tao gave Chu Feng a sideways glance, then smirked and continued his heckling, “Tsk tsk. I had no idea you were the type to be cuckolded yourself, raising someone else’s daughter.”
Chu Feng simply glanced at Yun Tao and said, “Your hand healed? Shall I break the other one, so you can relearn your lesson?” He nonchalantly took a step forward, but Yun Tao immediately paled and backed up several steps, clutching his right arm with a face full of hatred.
This bastard had really gone too far; the comminuted fracture in his arm had stumped countless top-notch doctors, and the only thing they could do was reconnect his bones and nothing more, so now his arm was nothing more than a prop because he’d lost all mobility in it!
“D-D-Don’t get too cocky, I’m telling you! I’m working with Young Master Li now! I only came here to give you some advice—break up with Yun Muqing as soon as possible, and don’t overestimate yourself.” Then, Yun Tao pulled out his trump card with a smug look. “The Yun family has already accepted the Li family’s two hundred million dowry and my grandpa has decreed that Yun Muqing and Young Master Li’s wedding is not to be interfered with! You think a peasant such as yourself can go up against both our families, with a combined net worth of several billion?” Yun Tao scoffed at Chu Feng and shot him a mocking glance. “Another word of advice—know your place, small fry like you can’t just waltz into the middle of a feud between two rich families.”
Chu Feng frowned, then suddenly remembered the way Yun Muqing left them in the morning, directionless and nervous… That explained it—the Yun family must have used the engagement to threaten her again. This bunch apparently really had a death wish.
Seeing Chu Feng’s silence, Yun Tao assumed he was afraid and gained confidence from that assumption, then continued to guide Chu Feng from atop his moral high horse, “Hmph, it’s good that you’re having second thoughts! Don’t think you can be all-powerful just because you know how to fight. A peasant’s still a peasant without money or power! Luckily for you, Young Master Li is a generous and benevolent man. He said that if you know your place and give up on Yun Muqing, and get out of Jiangling, he’s willing to show you mercy.”
