Chapter 127: Chapter 127: Looking Down on Others with a Snobbish Eye
Chu Feng gave a dismissive glance at his sister-in-law’s cousin’s carriage, estimating that its cost wouldn’t exceed twenty thousand silver taels.
With Chu Feng’s current earning ability, he could make enough in a day to afford two carriages of this level. As for the carriage from his previous life, that was even more out of the question.
It was, at the very least, of the Immortal Chariot tier.
The chariot wasn’t pulled by horses, but by mythical spiritual beasts. And they were of the highest tier, such as dragons, phoenixes, and Xuan Turtles, among others.
Yet they had the audacity to flaunt such a carriage before Chu Feng.
It was like showing off copper coins in front of a billionaire, no different from a beggar flaunting the single Copper Coin they had received.
Qiao Yue’er felt extrely embarrassed by what her sister-in-law said.
Currently in need of others, it wasn’t suitable to fly into a rage, so she had no choice but to endure, putting on a smile and said, "You’re joking, sister-in-law. Our family’s ans are limited; having a carriage is already quite remarkable! We wouldn’t dare to compare with you!"
"Speaking of which, where is my little aunt?"
The sister-in-law hurriedly shifted the topic, displaying so quick thinking.
"My mom is inside changing clothes. We didn’t expect you to arrive so early. She asked us to co out and greet you first!" The cousin said with a smile.
This cousin, although smiling broadly, had smiles only for Qiao Yue’er.
He didn’t even give Chu Feng a proper glance, his little eyes fixated unabashedly on the stunningly beautiful Qiao Yue’er.
It must be said, Qiao Yue’er’s beauty and temperant were enough to overshadow the sister-in-law.
Moreover, Qiao Yue’er was even younger, posing a strong attraction for any man.
The cousin was successful in his career and in his pri, so it was normal for him to covet his beautiful cousin Qiao Yue’er.
"Cousin, you rarely visit our place, please co in first to have so tea and enjoy so fruits!" The cousin warmly invited Qiao Yue’er.
As for Chu Feng, he was automatically ignored by the cousin.
The sister-in-law couldn’t help but secretly pinch her husband, giving him a fierce glare, "Look at where your eyes are fixed, completely captivated by her. Has your soul been stolen away?"
"Nonsense!" The cousin retracted his ogling gaze, sowhat guilty.
Qiao Yue’er, of course, couldn’t say much about this matter, so she pretended not to hear. She, along with Little Lan, entered the cousin’s house.
"Hmph, I see nothing but a seductive fox spirit! Shaless, sharing a ride with her young uncle, purposely accentuating her eyebrows and eyes to seduce n!" The sister-in-law snidely scoffed.
An angry expression appeared on Qiao Yue’er’s face, her teeth secretly clenched.
But considering she had requests to make, she endured.
Chu Feng held great respect for his sister-in-law and hearing this cousin-in-law insult her so, slandering her na, incensed him.
His anger flared up imdiately.
"Accusing my sister-in-law of seducing n, I’m afraid you should first take a look in the mirror!"
"Look at how indecently you’re dressed. Why don’t you simply go without clothes?"
"Even so, you still can’t attract the gaze of n. You can’t even keep your husband’s eyes on you, let alone make
spare you a second glance. Disgusting. Now look at my sister-in-law, dressed with dignity, elegance, and grace, naturally becoming the center of attention for all n. To put it bluntly, you’re just inferior and jealous."
Chu Feng appeared young, but when it ca to cursing soone out, he didn’t hold back.
He could humiliate soone to the point of wanting to crawl into a hole, all without using a single obscene word.
"You, you... dare to insult
as worse than a harlot... Huang Ke, your wife has been bullied to this point, and you still don’t utter a word. Are you even a man?" The sister-in-law, trembling with rage, wished she could tear Chu Feng apart.
She had not expected Chu Feng, a young man, to be so sharp-tongued.
"You’re well aware of the situation in my cousin’s ho. Her little uncle has been without parents since he was young, lacking in upbringing, thus a bit uncouth."
"You are a person of status; why stoop to his level? Just consider it as if he’s farting."
The cousin was essentially insinuating that Chu Feng lacked manners, albeit indirectly.
Chu Feng’s expression changed slightly; he truly hadn’t anticipated that his sister-in-law’s small aunt’s family would all be like this. It would have been better not to co.
He was ready to leave imdiately, as he hadn’t planned on matchmaking in the first place.
It was rely due to not having the heart to bluntly reject his sister-in-law’s kind intentions.
"Little uncle, before you ca, you promised
not to leave, okay?" The sister-in-law pleaded with Chu Feng with a begging look.
Faced with his sister-in-law’s plea, Chu Feng decided to grit his teeth and bear with it.
Without making another sound, he followed her into the house.
At this mont, a very fat middle-aged woman ca out.
"Small aunt!" Qiao Yue’er quickly went up to her with a smile to greet her. "Oh, Little Yue is here! Look at how skinny you’ve beco, alas, you poor child. You’re said to be married to a prince from the Sword King Mansion, but in reality, that mansion is as shabby as a beggar’s den."
"You really have it rough, managing everything by yourself."
The small aunt looked at Qiao Yue’er with sympathy, holding her hands and sitting down in the living room.
Throughout the conversation, her disdain for Sword King Mansion was taken to an extre.
She was even unabashedly badmouthing the mansion in front of Chu Feng, the mansion’s lord.
"Is this young lad your little uncle? He sure is handso!" The fat aunt gauged Chu Feng with an air of wealth and riches.
"Little uncle, co over and et my small aunt!" Qiao Yue’er quickly called Chu Feng over.
"Nice to et you, small aunt!" Chu Feng stepped forward and politely greeted her.
The small aunt smiled and nodded. "Don’t just stand there, young man. Once you’re at our place, feel as if you’re at your own ho! Sit down and let’s talk!" Once Chu Feng sat down, a servant brewed so fragrant tea.
Fruits and snacks were laid out on the table.
"Your na is Chu Feng, right? I’m well aware of your family’s situation. Poor conditions, only a hollow reputation."
"Seeing you dressed up in new clothes, looking like a pretty boy. I must say sothing you might not like to hear, a man needs to be down-to-earth, you know? Only then can one achieve great things."
"Look at your cousin, such a young age and already a First-grade Alchemist, also holding a position in the Alchemy Master Guild. His status is very high, and the inco is considerable. Even if he dresses plainly, he is still highly respected when he steps outside."
The small aunt gave a long speech that was ’well-aning’.
To Chu Feng, it all ca across as belittling Sword King Mansion, looking down on him, and going to great lengths to praise her son.
After sitting for about half an hour, every sentence from the small aunt displayed her sense of superiority and disdain for Sword King Mansion and Chu Feng.
Unable to listen any longer, Chu Feng stood up. "Where is that young lady? Perhaps I should et her first! I have to return to the Alchemy Academy for classes in the afternoon!"
If he allowed this fat woman to continue her tirades, Chu Feng felt he might go insane.
"Look at you, so young, yet so eager!" the small aunt said with a laugh. "We can’t seem too shabby for today’s matchmaking. My distant niece is quite proud!"
"The small aunt knows your Sword King Mansion is very poor. Today, let
treat you, let’s have a al at the most famous Welco Immortals Restaurant in the Royal Capital!"
Having said that, the small aunt turned to the cousin and said, "Little Ke, you’re well-known, and I believe you need a reservation to get a seat at Welco Immortals Restaurant. You’ll arrange it. Once the table is booked, I’ll send soone to invite my niece."
