Upon hearing this, Zhang Cuihua raised her head in disbelief.
Lan Meiqi's insult of "country bumpkin auntie" struck a raw nerve in Zhang Cuihua's pride, like a sharp knife.
Xu Ruhui jumped up in anger. "You scoundrel, what nonsense are you spouting? Your Aunt Zhang and I are true love. When we were dating, you weren't even born yet!"
"Dad, we don't care about your dating. But some people marry you not for who you are, but for your money!"
Lan Meiqi chuckled, her implication clear.
"You don't want my money? Get out! I don't want to hear your voices anymore. Get out immediately!"
Xu Ruhui was deeply disappointed in his son and daughter-in-law, pointing to the door with his heart about to burst from anger.
"Brother Xu, please calm down. The children don't mean it like that."
Zhang Cuihua quickly tried to appease him.
"Stop pretending to be a good person. We'll never believe you're not after Dad's money!"
Lan Meiqi looked at Zhang Cuihua as if she were a clown.
Xu Xiaoguo took out paper and pen from his bag. "You can marry my father, but on the condition that you don't get a marriage certificate. Even if my father passes away, you won't get a single cent from our Xu family!"
Zhang Cuihua was struck by lightning at these words.
Not getting a marriage certificate, what kind of marriage was that?
She and Xu Ruhui had waited twenty years for this opportunity. How could these two children do this?
"You won't let us get a certificate! You scoundrel, I'll beat you to death!"
Xu Ruhui's eyes rolled back in anger, clutching his chest and gasping for breath as he slumped onto the chair.
"Brother Xu, don't be so angry!"
Zhang Cuihua was terrified, quickly rubbing Xu Ruhui's chest to help him breathe.
"Mom, let's go. You shouldn't be with Uncle Xu anymore. Lin Feng and I can take good care of you."
Even with her gentle nature, Su Qingya couldn't stand by and watch her mother being bullied like this.
"Mom, Qingya is right. These people look down on everyone. They're not worth your attention. Let's go."
Lin Feng stood up, no longer optimistic about this late-life romance.
With such a son and daughter-in-law, it was destined that Zhang Cuihua and Xu Ruhui would not be happy.
"Who are you calling snobbish?"
Xu Xiaoguo was displeased.
"I'm talking about you, two arrogant trash. If it weren't for Uncle Xu being a decent person, you two wouldn't even have the chance to speak!"
Lin Feng's eyes were filled with icy rage. Bullying someone close to him was tantamount to seeking death.
"Dad, you heard them, didn't you? What kind of people are they? You still want to marry into this family? Aren't you being ridiculous!"
Xu Xiaoguo sneered repeatedly.
Lan Meiqi glanced at the branded watch on her wrist. "Dad, it's getting late. We have to meet Manager Tang from Sheng Tang Group soon. This cooperation is very important for our company. You need to distinguish between major and minor matters!"
"Get out, you two get out!"
Xu Ruhui was so angry he could barely speak.
If not for Zhang Cuihua's tearful comfort, he might have been angered to death by now.
"Fine, then hurry back when you're done playing. We're going to meet Manager Tang to discuss cooperation."
Xu Xiaoguo showed no concern for his father and got up to leave.
"Qingya, let's go too. They're going to Sheng Tang Group, aren't they? Let's go and give them a wake-up call!"
Lin Feng couldn't swallow this insult.
Su Qingya nodded. She wasn't petty, but this time, she truly hoped Lin Feng would teach these two a lesson.
She could be bullied, but her mother couldn't be!
"Let's go, I'll go with you. I'm going to revoke all of this scoundrel's power. Even if my company goes bankrupt, I won't hand it over to him!"
Xu Ruhui stood up with difficulty.
"Brother Xu, forget it. Xiaoguo is your biological son. I'm an outsider, after all. I can't let father and son fall out!"
Zhang Cuihua wiped away tears, not wanting to add to Xu Ruhui's troubles.
"Cuihua, don't say anything. What I, Xu Ruhui, love is you. If I can't even give you a proper title, am I still a man?"
Xu Ruhui patted Zhang Cuihua's hand, his old eyes filled with tears.
Lin Feng could see that Xu Ruhui truly loved Zhang Cuihua.
"Uncle Xu, if you trust me, just stay silent for a while. I'll handle your and my mother's matters."
Lin Feng smiled.
"You'll handle it?"
Xu Ruhui was somewhat surprised.
"Uncle Xu, Lin Feng can handle it. I trust him, and I hope you will too."
Su Qingya echoed him. With Lin Feng around, she felt like nothing could go wrong, not even the sky falling.
"Brother Xu, then let's listen to the children."
Zhang Cuihua was worried that Xu Ruhui would hurt himself from anger and didn't want him to continue arguing with Xu Xiaoguo.
"Alright then, let's go quickly."
Xu Ruhui nodded. Although he didn't know where Lin Feng's confidence came from, he had no other choice.
