Chapter 268


    A transient pink flush appeared on Muqing’s face as happiness swelled within her.


    “That’s great! You are a dependable, charismatic young man, Feng! Here’s a toast to you! You must


    take good care of my darling daughter and granddaughter from now on.” Jiaqiang and Chu Feng


    lifted their ss merrily and finished the alcohol in a single glup.


    Fenn pursed her lips and scoffed, “Easy for you to say. Our family will be in the ruckus if we


    depend on you. Instead of heading out to work and earn a stable ie, you spend all your time in


    the kitchen examining recipes. You are such azy ass, how can you possibly have any


    aplishments?”

    The atmosphere at the dinner table suddenly turned awkward. Chu Feng let out augh and tried to


    break the ice. He urged, “Come, let’s eat!”


    In truth, Chu Feng was not affected by Fenn’s criticism. He had long attained immense wealth,


    power and considerable achievements. Notably, his Dragon Soul was so sessful that it would


    still be remembered by future generations, even after a hundred years. Despite this, Chu Feng has


    come to realize that the pursuit of material wealth and power was superficial. It would never be as


    fulfilling as the time spent with one’s daughter. Fenn would never understand such ideals in life.


    Ding! Ding!


    The sudden doorbell ring broke the tense atmosphere.


    “Who’s that? Why are they interrupting our meals?” Fenn grumbled as she put down her cutleries


    and went to open the door. She was left stunned when she say Jiaqiang and Xiaoyue at the


    doorsteps. However, they no longer disyed the air of arrogance from earlier in the day. Instead,


    they were holding bags of tonics, branded clothing and perfume.


    Jiaqiang forced a smile and said merrily, “Jiaming, Fenn, I’m here to visit!” Without waiting for


    their reply, he shoved the bags of gifts into Fenn’s arms and skipped his way to Jiaming. He then


    gave thetter an affectionate hug. Everyone was speechless at Jiaqiang’s sudden change in


    attitude.


    “Jiaming, this Bird Nest and Ginseng is for you. Your body is weak, you need to nourish it.”


    Jiaqiang then turned to Fenn and said gently, “This gold ne and jade bracelet is for you. It


    is worthy of your elegance.” Next, he looked at Muqing and continued, “This is a limited edition bag


    that Xiaoyue got you from overseas.”


    Jiaqiang smiled as he passed the gifts to Muqing’s family. Everyone was appalled by his


    uncharacteristic disy of generosity, something which he would have done even for his own father.


    Jiaming and Fenn were rendered speechless by the miser’s unexpected efforts to please them.


    He was well-known to be a stingy man who took advantage of others. It was already a blessing if he


    did not steal from others. Yet, Jiaming was willing to fork out money and buy exorbitant gifts for their


    family today. While the rest of the family was staring wide-eyed, only Chu Feng remained calm. He


    cast a side nce at Jiaqiang and continued enjoying his meal.


    Muqing furrowed her brows and asked cautiously, “What are you up to, Uncle Jiaqiang? Why the


    sudden change in attitude from earlier?”


    Fenn regained her senses and added on in an rming tone, “That’s right. Jiaqiang, you came


    empty-handed and stole Muqing’s fifty million order. Now that you have brought so many gifts along


    with you, are you trying to force our family to be at your beck and call?” She waved her hand and


    thought to herself, even though I’m greedy and yearn for all these riches, I’m not that senseless to


    figure that nothinges free in this world.


    Hearing their wary remarks, Jiaqiang felt his anger welling up in his chest. This bunch of


    unappreciative brats. How dare they question me! I shouldn’t have spent so much money on the


    gifts.


    Jiaqiang tried to calm his rage and forced a smile. He let out a small cough and coaxed, “Jiaqiang,


    Fenn, you have misunderstood me. I came here today to offer my sincere apologies. Please


    return back to thepany.” He cleared his throat and continued, “Muqing, we were in the wrong


    previously. I am here to formally apologize to you for my unruly behavior. I hope you can forgive us


    ande back to save thepany. There’s so many projects waiting for you to take charge.”


    As soon as he ended his sentence, Jiaqiang turned and gave Xiaoyue a death stare. No matter how


    unwilling she was, she had to swallow her pride and bow deeply to apologize. “Uncle Jiaqiang, Aunt


    Fenn, Muqing, this is all my fault. I’m so sorry for all the troubles I have caused. I’ll never repeat


    my mistakes ever again. Muqing, please return to thepany.”
