Chapter 259
Their family had been neglected since Yun Jiaming, her husband, had his leg amputated after a car
ident. Li Fenn, who was arrogant and vain, had to bear with being looked down upon.
Now, her daughter was about to be promoted to director with an annual sry of several million.
That made her very proud, and she could not wait to show off in front of her rtives and friends.
The surrounding rtives smiled and nodded. The atmosphere was jovial and rxed.
"Mom, I… I won''t be promoted to director. The deal was given to Yun Xiaoyue," Yun Muqing said,
averting her gaze because of embarrassment and guilt.
"Wh… What?"
In an instant, the rtives whispered to each other, and Li Fenn''s smile froze. "What did you
say? Say it again," she said while staring at Yun Muqing.
Yun Muqing took a deep breath. "I wasn’t promoted to director. The position should be going to
Xiaoyue instead. Dad, Mom, I''m sorry…"

Boom! The unexpected news was like an exploding bombshell. The rtives’ expressions changed
instantly, and they began to say nasty things.
Li Fenn felt like she had been struck by lightning. Her face turned pale, and she fell to the ground
with a thud.
"Mom! What''s wrong, Mom?" Yun Muqing immediately went over to help her mother up.
Yun Jiaming was even more worried because he could not move away from his wheelchair.
"Fenn! Somebody call an ambnce!"
"How disappointing. I''ve wasted my moneying here for nothing."
"I should’ve known this. How can their family make aeback? Let me tell you, Fenn’s
daughter became pregnant before marriage and was thrown out of the household. Tsk tsk…"
"Let''s go. We shouldn’t involve ourselves with these people and risk offending Xiaoyue. Shees
from an influential family."
"Yes, yes. Let''s hurry to Xiaoyue''s house, she has been promising since she was young..."
The rtives, who had been ttering and fawning over Yun Muqing earlier, dispersed in the blink of
an eye. No one paid any attention to Li Fenn, who was still on the ground.
People were fickle like that. They only cared about their own benefit and never about those in need.
The rtives and friends left to curry favor with Yun Xiaoyue, who would soon be promoted. Why
would anyone care about Li Fenn, who had passed out on the ground?
Later, Chu Feng helped her up. Using the medical skills from the Collection of Mystical Healing, he
stimted several acupuncture points, causing Li Fenn to slowlye to.
"Mom! Are you okay?" Yun Muqing asked worriedly.
"You… You wretch! How did you lose the promotion when it’s already in the bag? Why are you so
useless?" After Li Fenn woke up, she began yelling and cursing without showing gratitude to the
person who had helped her.
"You’ve embarrassed me in front of so many rtives and friends. How am I supposed to face them
again? I''ll be the punchline to every joke! I might as well die!"
Yun Muqing lowered her head and bit her lip, feeling aggrieved.
Yun Jiaming felt sorry for his daughter. He said to Li Fenn, "That’s enough. Don''t hold it against
your daughter. What’s the big deal about the promotion? There’ll be another opportunity."
"Shut up, Yun Jiaming! If it weren’t for you, none of this would’ve happened to us! We’re bullied and
trampled because you’re useless!
"Look at your elder brothers. They both live in vis and drive expensive cars, while I''m stuck with
you in this run-down estate. Their wives are all decked out in gold and jewelry and can gamble to
their heart’s content. What about me? My clothes are three years old, and the jewelry I have is from
my wedding.”
Li Fenn cried and wailed like an old cat whose tail has been stepped on, "What am I doing if not
for our family? I’ve done all this so people will respect and admire us. It’s all over now. It’s all over.
Boo hoo…
"Why must I be so unlucky? I’ve never had a peaceful day after marrying you. I have to take care of
a useless cripple, and I have a daughter with no future. Oh, god, what sins have Imitted to
deserve this?"
