Chapter 452 Unwee
Toot! Toot! Toot!
The car horn red noisily again. Zhou Lie''s expression sank as he walked out of the house
gloomily.
"What a nuisance! Didn''t they say they''ll only arrive tomorrow?" Liu Minn grumbled. She
squeezed a smile at Yun Muqing and said, "Sorry for the interruption, Muqing. Please make
yourselves at home."
"It''s okay, Minn. I''ll see what I can help in the kitchen." Yun Muqing was a perceptive person, and
she knew she should excuse herself. She beckoned at Duo Duo and said, "Come with me, Duo
Duo."
"No, I want to stay with Daddy." Duo Duo said and shook her head. Chu Feng smiled and nodded at
Yun Muqing, indicating her not to worry.
"Didn''t Uncle Yang''s entire family relocate to Yanjing to expand their business? Why are they back
here all of a sudden?" Chu Feng asked Zhou Ying.
Chu Feng had a vague impression of Zhou Yang, Zhou Lie''s elder brother.
Zhou Yang used to be a government official in Jiangling. He was not very capable, but he always
behaved as though he was superior to everyone else. He would take every chance to impart life
lessons to other people.
Gao Shan, Zhou Lie''s wife, was bad-tempered and materialistic. She was almost as bad as Li
Fengqin.
As far as Chu Feng remembered, Zhou Yang and his wife used to look down upon Zhou Lie for
being stubborn and mediocre. Ten years ago, he pulled some strings and got himself transferred toN?velDrama.Org is the owner.
Yanjing. He did not even attend Zhou Ying''s wedding reception.
It was weird that he suddenly appeared at Zhou Lie''s house.
Zhou Ying said annoyedly, "I heard he had been doing some trading and made some money. He''s a
millionaire now. I''m sure he''s here to show off. He called us a week ago and told us to make
preparations. I didn''t expect him to appear a day sooner, and he''s expecting us to greet him at the
door!"
Zhou Ying, just like Chu Feng, did not have a good impression of her uncle. When she was
younger, her uncle used to admonish her for every small mistake.
Chu Feng peeled a lychee for Duo Duo and said, "We''ll see what happens."
His intuition told him Zhou Yang''s visit was based on some other motive other than showing off.
While Chu Feng and Zhou Ying chatted, Zhou Lie and Liu Minn escorted two men and one
woman into the house.
"Lie, it''s been more than ten years, but your house still looks exactly the same. Look at how worn
out the furniture is." Zhou Yang was a pot-bellied man dressed in a suit. He began criticizing as
soon as he stepped into the house.
"You ought to keep up with the times. How else are you going to be rich? I say, you should
learn from me." He lifted his arm to unt the Rolex watch on his wrist and the keys to his BMW
attached to his waist.
Gao Shan was standing next to him. She was decked out in golden jewelry, and she seemed
displeased with the condition of her surroundings. "The house has been like this all these years.
This is the life of someone destined to be poor."
Zhou Peng, their son, was focused on ying a game on his phone. asionally, he would shoot a
disdainful nce at his surroundings. He would not have voluntarily stepped into such a run-down
location.
Liu Minn smiled sheepishly, while Zhou Lie took a drag on his pipe. "That''s the way it is over
here. If you don''t like it, you can always leave. No one''s stopping you."
"You''re… you''re beyond help! I''d expect someone your age to be less stubborn and bad-tempered!"
Zhou Yang said with a frown. "No wonder Father doesn''t like you, and you''re still stuck here in this
backwater ce!"
"This is the life I want!" Zhou Lie said defiantly. "I don''t need to suck up to that old geezer. I''m not a
leech, and I can make a living with my own two hands."
Gao Shan seemed angry when she heard that. Her eyes widened and she huffed, "What do you
mean, Zhou Lie? Are you implying something about us?"
