Chapter 98: Face-slapping (2)

“What kind of tone is that? Is that the tone that a junior like you should use with an elder?” Wu Jufen looked at Chi Shuyan incredulously. After making contact with her sharp and cold gaze, she turned her head to Chi Lingyan and said angrily, “Listen, listen, I just want the grandchildren to take care of each other. What did I say wrong?”

However, when Wu Jufen looked at her son, who used to be the most filial, Chi Lingyan’s icy stare, which was exactly the same, stabbed Wu Jufen painfully, and she was stunned.

She just wanted everyone to live a good life. Her Fourth Son was the most capable, so naturally, he had to do more for his brothers. All families followed this principle, so she rebutted angrily, “All of you are the same to me. You are my biological son, how can I not like you? I’m wholeheartedly doing this…”

“You’re wholeheartedly doing this for Big Brother and yourself,” Chi Lingyan said coldly and forcefully.

“You, you unfilial son, how can you hurt your mother’s heart so much?” Wu Jufen screamed and pounced at Chi Lingyan, wanting to hit him. She didn’t expect Chi Lingyan’s next move, which completely stunned her.

Chi Lingyan turned his hands over and flipped up his T-shirt to reveal scars all over his body.

“Mom, don’t stare at me and scold me for being unfilial. Ever since I joined the army, I’ve always sent my wage home and left only one mouthful for myself. Am I being so frugal just to help raise other people’s sons and brothers? I work myself to death to earn my wage and you take it all to subsidize Big Brother’s sons. There are all kinds of snacks and toys. Do you know how much my heart hurts when I see Yanyan’s frail body that could fail at any moment and when she doesn’t even have enough to eat? Mom, do you know how much my heart hurts?

“And Mom, you always said that Qingyun is delicate and can’t do anything, so I put in more effort and fought my way up the ranks. Do you see this? I almost didn’t return from this injury.” Chi Lingyan pointed at a scar that was a few millimeters away from his heart. “I worked so hard to feed a big family, but in the end, my wife and daughter suffered under your supercilious eyes. Mom, you say that we’re all the same, but why do I feel like you’re always cutting down one to fill the other?

“I was the one who pulled strings to find Big Brother a job, but has he ever been grateful to me? Once he ran out of money, he borrowed tens of thousands of yuan from me which he has yet to repay. It’s not like the money comes from nowhere. Mom, if you still care about our mother and son relationship, then please don’t bother Yanyan anymore. I’ve had enough of you exploiting me to support my brothers and nephews. Can it be that my daughter still has to repeat her father’s path?”

Wu Jufen was dumbstruck. When her cloudy eyes saw the scars all over his body, her heart tightened. She averted her eyes and shed tears. It wasn’t that she wasn’t aware of her son’s difficulties in the past, but she subconsciously ignored them or didn’t want to know at all. She always thought that her youngest son would be able to help out his other brothers’ families.

But now, these scars hurt her eyes fiercely. It turned out that what she thought was for his own good in the past was her exploiting her fourth son.

Perhaps in the eyes of her fourth son, she and her third daughter were desperately fighting over the things in his house in the name of his own good.

She finally opened her mouth halfway, but when she looked at his scars, she actually couldn’t even say a word, so she left, even forgetting that her eldest son wanted her to borrow money from her youngest son.

…

When Chi Shuyan came out after her last subject exam, she ran into Yang Hongsheng and Yang Feiyu, who were waiting at the door.

“What are you two doing here?” Chi Shuyan was a bit surprised, and her eyes shifted to the somewhat frail and pale Yang Feiyu. He smiled shyly at her. Although he was a bit weak, his spirit and complexion were much better.

“Let’s go, there are too many people here. Let’s talk in the car,” Yang Hongsheng said as he looked at the crowd of people.

In the car.

Yang Feiyu apologized with a bitter smile. “Master Chi, I’m really sorry for offending you at the restaurant last time. I misunderstood you.” His luck was really extraordinary. He ran into a true Master but didn’t realize it. He really didn’t know whether to call himself lucky or unlucky.

“What are you apologizing for? It’s not like you did it.” Chi Shuyan smiled. It was normal to be questioned in this line of business.

Yang Feiyu heaved a sigh of relief when he saw that Chi Shuyan wasn’t angry or held a grudge against him. His eyes dimmed. After he woke up, his mother told him about how Qian Hongxin and Liu Xinfang had colluded to deceive and murder him, and how Master Chi had saved him.

Yang Feiyu was chagrined that he couldn’t see through people. He had caused his parents to worry and he had almost lost his life. He was particularly glad that his cousin, Yang Hongsheng, had found Master Chi. If it wasn’t for Master Chi, he really couldn’t imagine what would have happened afterward.

Qian Hongxin had his father’s trust and his parents mistakenly thought that Liu Xinfang was pregnant with his child. With them acting in tandem, who knew what would have happened to his parents once the two wolves got their hands on his family’s assets.

Yang Feiyu broke out in a cold sweat at the thought. Moreover, there were very few like Master Chi who were powerful and the real deal. He heard from his cousin that she had even helped drive out a ghost when Yang Hongsheng was possessed before. Her talismans were very effective. In the past few days, not to mention his mother constantly reminding him to wear them, he couldn’t even bear to take them off himself in the shower.

“Brother, is your father still protecting Qian Hongxin?” When Yang Hongsheng went to the Yang family today, his Third Aunt had been complaining about her husband. It seemed that she wanted to send Qian Hongxin to the police on several charges of murder and robbery, but her husband stopped her.

“Hmm, pretending to be pitiful is his specialty. You know my dad is also a soft-hearted person.” Yang Feiyu frowned. He had originally planned to report them to the police station, but Qian Hongxin kept pleading with his dad. He was fed up when he recalled how Qian Hongxin cried and pleaded for leniency on his knees. “But my dad also canceled his recommendation to study abroad and took back the recommendation letter. This can also be considered cutting ties with Qian Hongxin.”

“I don’t understand Third Uncle; why pity this sort of person?” Yang Hongsheng shook his head, then suddenly remembered something, and his eyes lit up with confusion. “Master Chi, you mentioned a backlash last time? How come I think he still looks fine?”

Chi Shuyan nodded. “The Soul Separation Curse has already rebounded; we just need to wait a little longer.”

“That’s good; otherwise, it would be too easy for him.” Yang Hongsheng pursed his lips. “Master Chi, you really don’t know how shameless the two of them are. Back then, my brother was drawn to Liu Xinfang’s looks…”

Yang Feiyu, who was sitting in the passenger seat, coughed twice to signal to Yang Hongsheng to be tactful.

“Anyway, my brother saw how pretty Liu Xinfang was and went around yelling that he wouldn’t marry anyone but her. My brother is in fact totally a dog for looks, so he really wouldn’t marry anyone but her. In the end, Qian Hongxin decided to hide his relationship with Liu Xinfang and even urged my brother to chase after Liu Xinfang.” Yang Hongsheng sneered. “Liu Xinfang acted like a white rabbit that was snatched away. If she had really said that she was dating someone, would my brother really force her? She simply has a pit in her brain, but she’s very happy to collect gifts.”

“Okay, don’t expose your brother’s shortcomings. It’s not like I don’t know I was wrong.” Yang Feiyu indeed hadn’t liked Liu Xinfang that much; he cared more about his friend, Qian Hongxin. Unfortunately, Qian Hongxin had been lying to him from beginning to end. Yang Feiyu cut off Yang Hongsheng and held out a bank card. “Master Chi, this is your reward.”

He could have transferred the money directly to Chi Shuyan’s account, but it was thanks to Master Chi that this matter was resolved, so Yang Feiyu felt that he had to thank her in person to show his sincerity.

…

The Yang family.

Yang Hongsheng returned home and was shocked by the large number of guests in the living room as soon as he entered. Was his mother holding a banquet? What kind of special festival was this?

“Son, you’re back.” Su Zhiqing waved. “Come and say hi.”

“Mom, what’s the happy occasion? There are so many people.” Yang Hongsheng thought for a moment and was puzzled.

“Of course there’s a happy occasion. Have you forgotten that your cousin just woke up? A lot of our relatives are quite concerned about him and want to know how he’s doing.”

Yang Hongsheng was speechless. Now that his cousin had recovered, these relatives should have gone to his cousin’s house instead. They wanted to know about his cousin, so why did they come to his house to ask about Yang Feiyu? It wasn’t like his cousin had done anything shameful.

“Hongsheng, I heard you’re studying business under your dad. You’re really talented!”

“Hongsheng, your complexion looks good. Did you take something for it? By the way, I remember you’re from B County’s famous university. My younger daughter is going to take the exam. Do you think Auntie should ask for a Peace Talisman? Maybe she can get the top score.”

“Hongsheng is really becoming more spirited each time I see him. I thought he was promising when he was a child. He also knows a lot of people, so his experiences are quite different from ours…”

When these relatives saw that Yang Hongsheng had come, they surrounded him and praised practically every part of him that could and couldn’t be seen until he got goosebumps. Did his relatives take the wrong medicine? Why were they praising him so much today?

In the past, he was always the negative example that every parent used as they said that he was a good-for-nothing who always hung out with scoundrels. Now, he was being praised like he was a god reincarnated. He had only gotten into the university he went to because his father stuffed him through the backdoor, which made him a little embarrassed.

After praising him non-stop, they finally made clear their intentions as they shifted to the real topic at hand.

It was only then that Yang Hongsheng realized that this was all for the Peace Talismans. When he thought about it, his Third Aunt would have told her sisters about his cousin waking up from a coma. When the news spread, they realized that this person was a genuine Master. Since the Master was so powerful, the Peace Talismans would naturally be real, so they had scrambled over for the talismans.
