In front of a luxurious villa in Celestial Cloud Village, Ye Feng looked at the woman before him, pleading softly: "Auntie! Please… lend me a hundred thousand… just a hundred thousand could save my little sister's life. I'll definitely repay it when I have money!"
With Ye Feng's words, the woman cursed venomously, her words exceedingly harsh:
"Repay? With what will you repay? You've married into another family as a live-in son-in-law for money; the Ye Family produced something like you, and I'm ashamed for you all, aren't you afraid of being laughed at by others?"
"Moreover, you're just a househusband who does chores all day long, what do you have to repay money with? Don't you find it ridiculous to ask me for a loan?"
Hearing the woman's words, Ye Feng clenched his teeth forcefully, his whole body trembling slightly.
The woman's words pierced deep into his heart, making him squeeze his fist in humiliation and anger, leaving purple marks on his palm.
If it were not out of desperation, who would want to become a live-in son-in-law?
In order to treat his little sister's illness, Ye Feng spent all his savings, didn't hesitate to take out all online loans, and even became a live-in son-in-law for the Liu Family.
At the Liu Family, Ye Feng served tea and water, treated like a bull or a horse.
Even, at any moment, he would get a scolding, leaving Ye Feng with completely lost dignity and no status.
To speak plainly, even a dog raised by the Liu Family could trample on Ye Feng's head and pee and poop.
Only thus was he able to secure three hundred thousand to treat his little sister's illness.
The three hundred thousand were spent in an instant, and the Liu Family became increasingly harsh, whenever Ye Feng spoke a few more words, it would bring on a heap of scoldings.
Yet, who could understand the grievance of having one's dignity trodden on the ground, of being treated like a dog?
If allowed, who wouldn't want to live with prestige and succeed in life?
What was most infuriating was that these relatives did not understand and instead resorted to accusations and curses upon seeing Ye Feng.
…
Just as Ye Feng was exceedingly angry and prepared to leave, the woman spoke again: "You could sell your father's old house to me; I could give you fifty thousand, the price is already very generous, but who makes us relatives; just consider it letting you take advantage."
"Auntie!" Following the woman's words, Ye Feng's blood boiled, and his voice suddenly raised.
The old house was about to be demolished, and the compensation was substantial. Yet, in her mouth, giving fifty thousand was still Ye Feng taking advantage, what a paragon of bullying!
Looking at the brazen aunt before him, Ye Feng angrily clenched his teeth till they bled, smashing a fist against the wall in frustration.
"Bang!" The commotion was loud, Ye Feng's fist was injured, dripping bright red blood.
If it had been someone else, Ye Feng's fist would definitely have smashed onto the opponent's head.
However, the person in front of him was Ye Feng's elder, despite the turmoil in his heart, he could only endure.
Seeing this scene, the woman scornfully admonished: "What? You worthless one still want to hit me? Come, dare to hit me and see?"
Seeing Ye Feng's hesitation, the woman became even more spirited: "Coward! What future could you possibly have?"
Ye Feng said nothing and turned to leave.
"You ungrateful wretch, stop playing hard to get. You've already married in, what's your intent holding onto the old house? Want to benefit outsiders? In your dreams, tomorrow I'll have someone retrieve the old house…."
Hearing the woman's words, Ye Feng paused, his forehead heated, showing a fierce expression and loudly threatened: "Auntie, feel free to try, even if I die, I'll drag someone down with me."
The old house is a guarantee left for his little sister; Ye Feng absolutely won't allow anyone to touch it, even if it means fighting desperately.
Hearing Ye Feng's words, the woman was stunned, and Ye Feng turned and walked away.
….
After leaving his uncle's house, Ye Feng approached all relatives for loans, but each refused and was exceedingly harsh, showing Ye Feng no kindness.
"A loan? You haven't even repaid the hundred you borrowed from my family before, yet you're here again asking for money, you consider yourself a big shot, don't you? You're just a wretch relying on a woman!"
…
"A hundred thousand? Don't even think about it, who do you think you are, hurry up and leave, don't stand at my door, you're bad luck."
…
"Get out, get out, get out! How come the Ye Family produced something like you, marrying in disgrace, you have no shame but I still have mine!"
….
Enduring all the ridicule and disdain.
Ye Feng was already hopeless in his heart.
At this moment, Ye Feng thought of his good friend Chen Long, he still owed him money, which hadn't been repaid—his last hope.
So he went to Jinyun Mansion to find Chen Long.
Looking at Chen Long before him, Ye Feng brought his last ounce of hope, pleading desperately: "Brother, my sister really needs the money urgently for her life, please repay the hundred thousand to me, possible?"
Yet, Chen Long feigned difficulty: "Brother, my company is just starting, there's really no money! If I had money, I would have repaid you long ago."
Simultaneously, Chen Long despised in his heart: 'I have money, but why should I repay you? Just because you're this cowardly fool who married in for money?'
Ye Feng was anxious, pleading again: "Brother, when you borrowed, you said it'd only take a year, but it's been three years now, can't you come up with some way?"
With Ye Feng's words, Chen Long suddenly got angry, disdainfully shouted: "Pushing, pushing, pushing—isn't it just a hundred thousand? I already said I don't have it, our bond ends here, get out."
Seeing Chen Long's change, Ye Feng felt deeply hurt, but this was the last hope for his sister; if he couldn't gather the money, she would be doomed.
Thus, Ye Feng exploded on the spot, grabbing Chen Long's collar, tremblingly threatening: "Repay, repay me the money, or I'll take you down with me today, ah!"
Originally, Ye Feng's personality was relatively meek; if he wasn't pushed to the brink, how could he say such things?
"President Chen! What's going on?" At that moment, the security guards from outside came rushing in.
Seeing the situation inside, the guards quickly pulled Ye Feng away and restrained him.
"Bah!" Having been saved, Chen Long spat, caressing the wound on his neck, face obscured with anger, exceedingly furious.
He approached Ye Feng, his face contorted with rage, shouted: "You coward, a live-in son-in-law of the Liu Family, only knows to wash clothes, cook, and mop—how dare you injured me?"
"Today, watch how I deal with you, you wretch."
Cursing nonstop, Chen Long picked up an antique ornament from the side and threw it at Ye Feng.
Seeing this, Ye Feng was terrified, his face full of despair.
But to save his sister, prompted him to keep imploring: "Please, return the money to me, my sister really needs it urgently to save her life, as long as you repay the money, you can hit or curse me any way you like."
"Repay money? Dream on! I've got heaps of money, but why should I return it to you this coward?" Chen Long sneered once, took out stacks of hundred-dollar bills from the safe, and threw them, bundle by bundle, at Ye Feng.
Ye Feng thought these were being returned to him, his heart lightened; although his face hurt being hit, he still gratefully thanked: "Thank you! Thank you!"
"Thank you? Must've drank too much fake wine, right? Did I ever say I'd return it to you?" Chen Long burst into laughter, exceedingly joyful.
"Please, please repay me, I really need money now." Hearing Chen Long's words, Ye Feng was anxious, as long as Chen Long could repay, he'd do anything, even threw away his last dignity, kneeling directly.
It's said that a man's knees are valued like gold, but compared to his sister's life, what does this count for?
"Repay you your ass!" But, Chen Long not only showed no sympathy, but was exceedingly thrilled to strike Ye Feng with the antique.
Bang!
With a dull sound, Ye Feng's forehead was instantly smashed with a big wound, and he blacked out.
Before passing out, Ye Feng seemed to see the antique glowing brightly, charging at his wound.
Subsequently, a strange symbol surfaced in his mind.
