Xu Chong had just recovered from a serious illness, and he had been upset for the past few days, so his face looked very ugly. When he heard the Feng family members stammering, his expression became even uglier. He knew the principle of "when the wall falls, everyone pushes it down", but the problem was that the wall hadn't even fallen yet, and these people were already impatient to scatter.
He snorted coldly and looked at the eldest master of the Feng family with a half-smile: "I heard that my future mother-in-law has been in poor health for a long time. Before this, I have never seen you so anxious about this matter."
What a joke.
What's more... Xu Chong suddenly remembered one thing - the reason why Xu Huixian went out to pawn her jewelry was because Feng Yuanqing's mother was seriously ill and said she needed a hundred-year-old ginseng to prolong her life. She went to ask Qi for help, but Qi refused. Only then did she muster up the courage to pawn her jewelry.
Over the years, Xu Buxian had never done anything so appalling except being a little willful. In the final analysis, it was all Feng Yuanqing who secretly seduced him.
Now that something has happened, the Feng family is eager to distance themselves from the matter.
The eldest master of the Feng family was still a little timid when facing Xu Chong, but no matter how afraid he was, he felt a headache when he thought about his family members blaming him for arranging such a marriage, saying that it was still unknown whether Xu Huixian was Xu Chong's biological daughter. Besides, like mother, like daughter, who knew if Xu Huixian would be like her mother in the future...
Although he was reluctant to give up the wealthy Xu family, he had no choice but to apologize with a smile.
Xu Chong sneered, stared at Feng Yuanqing with sinister eyes, and squeezed out a word from between his teeth: "Get lost!"
Feng Yuanqing felt cold all over when he was looked at by him. He wanted to say something more, but how could he say anything at this moment? He hurried to see Master Feng.
Mr. Feng stood up in a hurry, pulled Mrs. Feng up, smiled and stepped back carefully: "Yes, yes, please don't bother with us..."
Xu Chong smashed a cup.
Mr. Feng was so frightened that he pissed his pants and pulled Mrs. Feng to run even faster. He didn't look up and wiped the cold sweat from his forehead until they were out of the Xu family's gate.
Mrs. Feng looked at him with some contempt: "Look at how useless you are. The Xu family is like a sieve now, with leaks everywhere. Why are you still so afraid of them?"
"You know shit!" Master Feng scolded her angrily, glared at his useless nephew with some worry, and walked away in annoyance.
Xu Chong was left at home gritting his teeth. He called Manager Xu in and ordered him viciously: "Didn't he say that his damn mother is not in good health? Then let her be really ill!"
Manager Xu knew that he was extremely angry and did not dare to persuade him at all, so he quickly agreed.
Xu Chong was still holding his breath. He sat on the chair and rubbed his chest fiercely. Just as he was feeling upset, Xu Huixian rushed in with a pale face. When she saw that he was the only one there, the smile on her face turned into disappointment. She immediately asked him, "Dad, why are you the only one here? Didn't you say that Brother Feng was here?!"
The girl's face was pale and her cheeks were sunken, completely different from the carefree girl she was a while ago.
But the pity that had just risen in Xu Chong's heart was shattered by her words. He sneered unhappily: "Why are you still mentioning that idiot?!"
Xu Huixian was stunned. She had been ill these past few days and was a little confused. The only thing that could support her was her fiancé, with whom she had not yet married but with whom she was in love.
Especially now that such a thing had happened and her mother had become an unfaithful woman who was hated by everyone, she regarded Feng Yuanqing as her life-saving straw, hoping to marry him quickly and escape from these annoying troubles.
Xu Chong couldn't understand her. He stared at his daughter, who he had always held in his hands, feeling disappointed and heartbroken: "How could you be so crazy?! Your mother is still suffering in the government office, and what about you?! The Feng family is now here to cancel the engagement, hoping to get rid of you, this trouble. But you are so good, you don't feel sad or worried about your mother at all, but you are willing to die for a man. Do you have any shame?"
In the past, Xu Chong would never have been willing to speak so harshly to Xu Huixian.
But now, troubles came one after another, and he really couldn't maintain such good patience any longer.
Xu Huixian felt even more aggrieved and couldn't help but burst into tears.
She had been pampered since she was a child, and had never been as embarrassed as she was these days, either at home or outside.
Now hearing his father scolding him like this, he became extremely desperate and slammed the door and walked out without caring about anything.
Xu Chong was exhausted and couldn't help but take a deep breath. He covered his churning stomach and slowly squatted down, closing his eyes and not moving for a while.
Or maybe his attendant felt something was wrong and came in to check what was going on. Seeing his appearance, he was startled and hurriedly called out "Uncle" and ran up to him: "What's wrong with you?"
Xu Chong waved his hand and forced himself to say, "Jincai, help me go to my father's study."
Jincai had never seen him in such a miserable state. He sighed and helped him to Xu Shun's study.
Xu Shun was still in the study. When he saw him come in, he looked him up and down and snorted, "Are you from the Feng family here to cancel the engagement?"
It seems that his father knows everything. Xu Chong felt sad and wronged. He closed his eyes and felt humiliated. "Yes, he kept saying that Feng Yuanqing's mother was seriously ill and he was afraid of delaying Xian'er. It's really Sima Zhao's intention, and everyone knows it."
He was in a state of confusion, and suddenly sneered: "Since they are not good, I will make them really bad! Don't bear this false reputation in vain!"
He was now plagued by bad luck, so naturally he was full of anger. Xu Shun glanced at him calmly, which was much calmer than his anger: "Come on, with such news, even if you are the son of the Prime Minister, you can't stop them from breaking off the engagement. There is nothing to complain about. Don't be a sissy. You know what the situation is now. How can you care about them? Aren't the current things annoying enough?!"
Xu Chong was speechless after being squeezed, he also knew that the situation was indeed stronger than the people. The Xu family was not only troubled by the broken engagement. Speaking of the distant past, there were also the things that had happened in the past and the involvement with Qi Yunxi. There were still many traces to wipe clean. Speaking of the immediate future, the one was how to resolve the Qi family issue.
The Xu family’s reputation is now extremely bad. If they don’t think of a solution, bad days are still to come.
The more Xu Chong thought about it, the angrier he became. He couldn't help but curse with gnashing teeth: "It's all because of that bastard! If it weren't for him..."
