The Unknown God of War

Chapter 58

Duo Duo was talking while she ate, “Mommy is always working overtime at her company, and sometimes she works late into the night. I will have instant noodles alone, do her homework and then go to bed. There have been many times whenever it rains heavily, Mommy would purposely not take the taxi in order to save money. She would wait for the bus instead. Mommy would always come home with her clothes soaking wet, and then she would be sick for a few days. Mommy said she needed to save money so she could buy milk powder for me, and also pay for my school fees...” The little girl then blinked her eyes. In a serious tone, she said, “Next time I want to make lots and lots of money, and never let Mommy fall sick again just to save money.”

Chu Feng heard this and felt a bitterness in his heart, because Duo Duo was saying these things rather calmly, which went to show that this type of situation was a regular occurrence in their lives.

“Duo Duo is such a sensible child. Now that Daddy is back, I won’t let this happen to you anymore,” Chu Feng said as he looked at his daughter in front of him, his eyes full of tenderness and his voice filled with determination.

He decided that he would go search for Yun Muqing, and make sure that nothing had happened to her. He was trying to recall the address of the company where Yun Muqing worked at, when all of the sudden, a call came in out of nowhere.

“Mr. Chu, no, brother-in-law, i-it’s me Yun Tao.” Yun Tao’s voice was trembling greatly on the other side of the phone, sounding flattering and cautious.

Chu Feng’s eyebrow raised slightly, because he would not normally bother to associate with people like Yun Tao, but because Yun Muqing had familial relations with this person, he couldn’t help but respond lightly, “Li Ziyang and I have sorted our grievances, and I chose not to retaliate against you. You aren’t

worth my effort at all.”

After saying that, he wanted to hang up immediately, but Yun Tao rambled on anxiously on the other side of the call, “Brother-in-law, that’s not what I wanted to talk about. It’s about my cousin, Yun Muqing.”

Chu Feng paused for a moment and continued to listen. “Brother-in-law, she has been standing in front of our Yun family’s ancestral home for the whole afternoon, and right now it is storming outside. It’s best if you hurry over and bring her back… She came to see grandfather, wanting to beg for the Li family’s marriage agreement to be annulled. But as you know, grandfather is a typical stubborn old folk, he would not meet her so easily. I’ve made a huge risk of betraying the Yun family by calling you to tell you about this. Brother-in-law, this matter, I must also take some responsibility and do something about it, otherwise I will not have a clear conscience. Brother-in-law, I’m so sorry...”

Chu Feng’s face instantly darkened as he raised his head and looked out the window to see the skies flashing with lightning and roaring with the sounds of thunder, the rain continuously falling in a heavy downpour. He was imagining a scene where Yun Muqing’s delicate and frail body was being battered and soaked by the wind and rain as she stood outside the gates of the Yun family ancestral home.

“Alright,” he said as he hung up the phone, filled with self blame and a burning anger in his heart.

This silly woman, your man now could easily overturn the heavens. As long as you say the word, no matter if it’s the Yun family or the Li family, I can reduce them all to ashes. Why would you be so stupid, trying to make amendments on your own, just to be humiliated and to be wronged like this?

“Duo Duo, Daddy is going to pick Mommy up. You stay at home and be good alright?” Chu Feng said

as he rustled his daughter’s hair. Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.

“Okay, don’t worry, Daddy. I’ll be good and wait for you to come back,” Duo Duo said as she nodded hard, behaving sensibly for her age.

“Such a good girl.” Chu Feng smiled lightly as he turned away.

It was freezing cold as the rain continued to fall, however Chu Feng’s body was emanating a frigid air that was a hundred times colder than the weather outside!

Yun Peak Villa was a villa situated at the Jiangling’s scenic area; it was an area that stretched as far as three thousand square meters, with a beautiful scenery and luxurious ornaments that were everywhere within the compound. This was the location of the Yun family’s ancestral home, and it was a place only those who were holding high positions in the Yun family were qualified to stay; this place was basically considered a holy land for the people of Yun family.

At this moment, the rain was falling heavily, and thick mist surrounded all around Yun Peak Villa, giving it a mysterious vibe, as though it was an immortal’s dwelling cave atop a cloud. Just in front of this magnificent building, a frail and delicate woman was standing alone, and because of the rain, her hair, her clothes and her skin were drenched in the cold rain, causing her to look pale, as if blood had drained completely from her face.

“Achoo!”
