38: Chapter 038 “The Sharp-Tongued Woman 38: Chapter 038 “The Sharp-Tongued Woman “I am not, you’re just a hooligan!” Yuqin feigned annoyance, yet she suddenly realized that her words carried the coquettishness of a lover, and with Shen Tianfang still present, her pretty face turned even more crimson, just like the vivid red of the wine in the bottle. Gradually, she emerged from Chenfeng’s embrace, but her jade arms still wrapped tightly around him, pressing her ample bosom firmly against Chenfeng’s arm, the softness making Chenfeng suspect she might not be wearing a bra. “Chenfeng, did you recognize me back at the company?” Yuqin looked up, shyly gazing into Chenfeng’s eyes as she asked. Chenfeng, full of affection, playfully stroked Yuqin’s little nose, and as if shocked by electricity, she instinctively dodged in bashfulness, Chenfeng chuckled, “No, not until I arrived at Daxing Pharmaceutical did I confirm it. I only had my suspicions before. A girl changes so much at eighteen, you’ve become so beautiful, how could I have recognized you?” Hearing Chenfeng’s compliments, Yuqin hung her head, her heart fluttering like a small deer, overwhelmed by a sweetness she had never felt before, a sweetness that no amount of praise from others could match. “Ahem, have you two forgotten about me?” Suddenly, Shen Tianfang coughed. Yuqin glanced at him and snickered, “Dad, are you making fun of me?” “Yuqin, aren’t you going to invite your Chenfeng inside? Or do you plan to chat here in the courtyard?” Shen Tianfang said. “Oh!” Yuqin, her expression bashfully turned towards Chenfeng, pulled him toward the house, “Chenfeng, let’s go inside!” “Alright!” Chenfeng followed Yuqin into the house, which was impeccably tidy, though the furniture had hardly changed, except for the addition of a forty-inch television in the main hall. It seemed that Uncle Shen and his family still lived a frugal life. Chenfeng thought to himself. Many years ago, when he and his mother came to Jiangnan, they were neighbors with Shen Tianfang. Yuqin’s mother had passed away when she was very young, and both families were in similar circumstances, always helping each other out. Especially Yuqin, who mostly followed behind Chenfeng. But after Yao Lan died, Chenfeng mysteriously disappeared, and the Shen Family had no news of him since. “Come, have some tea that Uncle Shen brewed. You used to love it!” “Thank you, Uncle Shen!” Chenfeng picked up the teacup, but his gaze was fixed on Shen Tianfang’s leg. Ever since Chenfeng first saw Shen Tianfang, his leg had been lame. Back then, Chenfeng hadn’t understood much, but now things were different, as Chenfeng was a master of medical arts. With a focused look, Chenfeng flicked a finger and a drop of tea from his cup silently shot into Shen Tianfang’s afflicted leg. “Hmm? Interesting!” Suddenly, Chenfeng’s expression changed, first to surprise, then to a profound smile. “Chenfeng, what naughty thing are you thinking about?” Yuqin’s tender voice suddenly rang in his ear. Chenfeng jumped, startled, “I’m thinking about how I can marry Sister Yuqin.” “Stop it!” “Chenfeng, tell me, have these years been difficult for you?” Shen Tianfang sat beside Chenfeng and inquired. “It’s been okay! I’ve managed to get through it!” Chenfeng smiled. After a warm and friendly exchange, Chenfeng felt an inexplicable touch of emotion. “Hey there, Old Shen, do you have guests over?” Just as Shen Tianfang was preparing to learn more, a woman’s voice suddenly called out from outside the door. Hearing the voice, a look of discomfort appeared on Shen Tianfang’s face, and Shen Yuqin’s face was covered with disgust. Ye Chenfeng felt a surge of perplexity, who exactly could cause such a reaction in both of them? “Who is this?” Accompanied by the strong scent of cheap perfume, a garishly dressed woman walked in, glanced at Ye Chenfeng with disdain, and asked nastily. “Chenfeng, this is your Aunt Wu Li!” Shen Tianfang hurriedly introduced. Ye Chenfeng stood up, and although he was uncomfortable with this woman, he greeted her with a forced smile, “Hello, Aunt Wu!” Wu Li eyed Ye Chenfeng up and down, and upon seeing his simple clothes, her brows tightened, she then completely ignored him and turned to Shen Tianfang, “Who is this?” “He’s the son of Sister Yao Lan that I often tell you about!” After hearing this, Wu Li looked at Ye Chenfeng again with a mix of high and low expressions and nodded, “Oh, so he’s the son of that Yao widow!” “Boom!” Upon these words, Ye Chenfeng’s face suddenly changed, rage burst forth from his chest, his fists clenched unconsciously, the air around him seemed to solidify, and the temperature around him dropped sharply. The three present couldn’t help but shiver, Shen Tianfang even gave Ye Chenfeng a puzzled look. “What, you haven’t even seen a shadow in over ten years. You and your daughter haven’t stopped looking for him, have you? A real son would do no less, but he doesn’t even remember you. Now you’re looking for ****, can’t make it on your own, so you come to rely on others?” Wu Li said sharply and bitterly. Shen Tianfang snapped angrily, “Mind your words, there are children present!” Ye Chenfeng gradually reigned in his anger, a smile gathering once again at the corners of his mouth, “It’s okay, it’s okay, it’s my fault, causing Uncle Shen and you all to worry about me!” Seeing this scene, Shen Tianfang relaxed and his look towards Ye Chenfeng carried a thread of relief. “Hmph!” Wu Li huffed coldly. “Old Shen, you can’t be too kindhearted, or you’ll suffer a great loss!” Wu Li said coldly, her words tinged with barbs. Shen Tianfang wore an expression of difficulty and embarrassment, “Just keep it down a bit, will you? There are others here!” Wu Li glanced at him, “I’m just reminding you; nowadays, a lot of these young people, they are not promising, without any ability. They specifically come to rely on relatives and friends, and among them are those who come to trick you out of money, or even worse, get you involved in pyramid schemes. seaʀᴄh thё NovelFire.net* website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. By that time, don’t let yourself be sold out and help others count your own money!” The more Wu Li spoke, the more outrageous she became, Shen Tianfang and Shen Yuqin couldn’t keep their composure any longer! “Wu Li, since Chenfeng came over tonight, you and Yuqin prepare a nice dinner, okay?” Shen Tianfang hurriedly tried to change the subject. “For him?” Wu Li countered with a question, her tone laced with disdain. Ye Chenfeng shook his head, internally remarking how his temper had improved. Years ago, he would have already made a move! “There’s no need, I’ll just go myself!” Shen Yuqin glared at Wu Li, then turned away, leaving behind an angry silhouette. “Alright then.” Seemingly intimidated by Shen Yuqin, Wu Li actually agreed right away. Annoyed, she cast a glance at Ye Chenfeng and followed after her. In the conversation with Shen Tianfang, Ye Chenfeng learned that Shen Tianfang had unintentionally taken in Wu Li and her daughter and had started a new family with Wu Li. Although Shen Tianfang moderated his language, Ye Chenfeng knew from his words that Wu Li was sharp-tongued and the Shen family was not living in harmony. Particularly, Shen Yuqin seldom came home and usually stayed at school. At this thought, Ye Chenfeng couldn’t help but feel sympathy for this girl; she must have suffered a lot.
