Chapter 74 Would You Allow Me to Marry Muqing?
Li Fenglan got up and sat on the sofa with an air of superiority and seniority as she glanced at Chu Feng and said, “You must be Chu Feng. Since you and Muqing are adults, I’ll express myself in a straightforward manner. Please bear with me.”
As Yun Muqing raised her eyebrows, not knowing what her mother would do next, Chu Feng nodded calmly. “Please go ahead, Mrs Yun.”
“You’re not worthy of Muqing.”
Li Fenglan uttered those words smugly, defeating Chu Feng instantly. The expression of Yun Jiaming and Yun Muqing changed drastically.
“Chu Feng, you should be aware of Muqing’s strengths by now. In terms of physical appearance and academic success, she’s extremely talented and one of the best in Jiangling.”
Li Fenglan’s face was filled with arrogance and nostalgia.
“Before her dad got into an accident, Muqing was publicly known as the most beautiful girl in Jiangling. The young and successful men who came to propose a marriage would need to queue up all the way to Yenching. To be frank, based on your qualifications, you wouldn’t even have the chance to talk to Muqing ten years ago. Do you understand?”
Yun Muqing’s face was blushing as she called out her mum in a spoiled manner. Yun Jiaming was helpless and gloomy as he consciously touched his fully amputated legs.
“Of course, the situation is different today. Our family isn’t as great as before, and Muqing had a daughter named Duo Duo. However, Muqing is from a wealthy family after all. Even if she had no chance in marrying a nobleman, the man that she marries would at least need to be a talented man with a successful career, a house and a car.”
Li Fenglan raised her eyebrows and criticised Chu Feng suspiciously, “Look at yourself. You have no career, no wealth, no power, nor a reputable background, and you’ve even lost your job. How can you give her a good life? How could you marry her? Even if both of you made it together, it was fated that the relationship wouldn’t last.”
“Therefore, it’s better to suffer short-term pain rather than long-term torture. You better say goodbye before it’s too late, that would be beneficial to both of you.”
Li Fenglan broke the loving couple apart with her hands directly.
She knew that her words would be piercing to his heart. It would definitely embarrass the poor young man in front of her and make him feel ashamed. He would definitely want to hide in a hole and leave her daughter for good.
Chu Feng remained calm and intact as he listened quietly.
“Mum, you’re going overboard!”
Yun Muqing couldn’t stand it anymore. She stood up in rage and guilt. “How could you talk to Chu Feng like that?”
Although she invited Chu Feng over just as a temporary shield and as her fake boyfriend, she couldn’t stand watching her mother humiliating him.
Furthermore, Chu Feng wasn’t as bad as she described, he had lots of strengths that made him a great person.
“Am I overboard? Yun Muqing, did I say anything wrong? Why did I do all this? Wasn’t it for your own good?”
Li Fenglan seemed to be extremely aggrieved as she cried and wept. “Ever since your father got into an accident, our lives became so horrible.
Didn’t you have enough being looked down upon by the Yun family? Who would think highly of us? Who wasn’t secretly watching us suffer? If you don’t marry a good husband, how could our family make a comeback? How could other people think highly of you again? Can you allow Duo Duo and yourself to be trampled on and mocked by the people in Yun family for the rest of your life?”
Yun Muqing became silent suddenly and she lowered her head dejectedly.
Yun Jiaming secretly let out a sigh and clenched his fists. He hated the fact that he was useless. He hated the fact that he couldn’t provide her daughter with the life she wanted.
At this moment, there was a response from Chu Feng. He held Yun Muqing’s icy-cold hands tightly and said, “Mrs Yun, what if I told you that I have what it takes to make Yun family and the entire Jiangling bow down to us? Would you allow me to marry Muqing?”
Yun Muqing and Yun Jiaming glanced at Chu Feng in surprise.
