"Sis! I want to go to the birthday banquet!"
Just as Wen Lan and Wen's mother were anxiously worried, Wen Xing's words shocked them both.
Then, the mother and daughter exchanged glances, seemingly understanding sothing, their faces filled with sadness.
"Little Xing, be good! We are not going to that banquet!"
Wen's mother's eyes imdiately reddened at that mont, her gaze towards her son filled with pity.
Wen Lan also sighed, her beautiful eyes brimming with tears, as she said:
"Little Xing, all those things are in the past! Once you are better, sis will introduce you to a nice girl! Let's forget about her!"
"I don't want to!"
Wen Xing's face was filled with dejection as he shook his head repeatedly:
"Mom! Sis! I can't forget her! I really can't forget her! Don't worry, I know I'm just a cripple, I just want to see her one more ti, even if it's just a glimpse!"
As he spoke, tears involuntarily flowed from Wen Xing's eyes.
Seeing this scene, the expressions of Wen's mother and Wen Lan grew even more sorrowful. And Ye Feng, overhearing their conversation from the side, also vaguely understood sothing.
Now wiping away his tears, Wen Xing's face took on a solemn expression as he said to Wen Lan:
"Sis! You have to promise ! You must not agree to this marriage proposal! It's one thing for Zhou Sabi's brother to take away my Xiao Jing, I'm a cripple and deserve to be abandoned! But who does Zhou Sabi think he is? The whole Zhangjiang Town knows what kind of person he is, he's not worthy of you, nor does he have the right to be my brother-in-law!!!"
Wen Xing's words were full of decisiveness, and only then did Ye Feng realize why Wen's mother and Wen Xing were so opposed to the Zhou Family's marriage proposal, to the point they hadn't even ntioned it to Wen Lan.
"Don't worry, Little Xing! Ye Feng is your brother-in-law, and sis will only be with him for her whole life!"
At this mont, Wen Lan wiped the tears from the corner of her eyes, then clung to Ye Feng's arm, speaking sweetly.
And upon seeing this scene, both Wen's mother and Wen Xing smiled.
Not because Wen Lan hadn't agreed to the marriage, but because they were happy she had found her own happiness!
Only they knew how tough Wen Lan's life had been!
Ever since Wen Xing's amputation and Wen Lan started university, she spent all her spare ti working!
When others rested, she worked!
When others went shopping, she still worked!
When others dated, she was yet again working!
It could be said that Wen Lan was the pillar of the family—if not for her, this ho would have fallen apart and dispersed long ago!
Looking at her daughter so happy, Wen's mother's eyes sparkled with tears of excitent.
"Young man, our family is poor; we can't provide much help, but rest assured, we won't hold you back! In the future, I just hope you will treat our Lanlan well, she's a... kind and sensible child!"
As she spoke these words, Wen's mother was already crying inconsolably. She always felt she owed Wen Lan and Wen Xing!
She wasn't a qualified mother!
And at this mont, Wen Lan and Wen Xing were already in tears, their family of three hugging and weeping together.
Witnessing this scene, Ye Feng's eyes grew sowhat moist.
He was an orphan, but his longing for familial love was extrely strong!
Although Wen Lan's work was hard, she still had her mother and her brother, and a ho where she could find comfort when hurt!
But for himself...
Sotis Ye Feng would feel resentnt towards his parents, hating them for abandoning him, hating that he was an orphan!
Holess, he was like a lone wolf, that even when wounded, could only retreat to a corner to lick his wounds alone!
Seemingly sensing Ye Feng's sadness, Wen Lan threw herself into his embrace, crying, her tear-filled eyes gazing directly at him, brimming with tender affection:
"Feng, you are not alone, this is also your ho, and I am your family..."
Wen Lan was weeping torrentially at this mont. She knew that Ye Feng was an orphan, and for this man, she felt both love and pity!
She also knew that for him to have achieved such success, he had to have put in ten tis, a hundred tis the effort of ordinary people!
Looking at Wen Lan, Ye Feng smiled!
Yes, he had no ho, but he still had many relatives.
Whether it was Zhang Zihan, Shu Yuehua, Jiang Ying, Chouchou, Xu Ningxue, Wen Lan, or all the brothers from Shadow Group!
These were all his family!
And now, he needed to protect his family, to build his own underground kingdom!
With an order that belonged to Ye Feng, he would protect his family!
At that mont, Ye Feng's eyes beca bright, as if he could see the road ahead, smiling so brilliantly.
"Let's go! Our family is going to the birthday celebration!"
...
As night fell, an endless darkness slowly engulfed Zhangjiang Town.
Yet at this mont, Zhangjiang Town was dimly lit, except for a huge compound in the west, which was brightly lit and bustling with excitent!
Zhang Shuren was an old teacher who had been teaching in Zhangjiang Town since he was twenty years old.
Zhangjiang Town was just a poor little town that unlike the large cities, had no concept of retirent, and Zhang Shuren taught for more than fifty years before finally leaving his educational post in his seventies.
It could be said that most of the people of Zhangjiang Town were taught by Zhang Shuren!
And today was Zhang Shuren's seventy-sixth birthday celebration, and every man, woman, and child in Zhangjiang Town, with their families in tow, ca to wish the old gentleman well.
When Ye Feng, Wen Lan, and their family of three arrived at the Zhang family's compound, it was already densely packed with hundreds of people.
"Look quick! The Wen family of three is here! Eh? That young man has so nerve showing up too!"
"He's probably in for it this ti. I saw Zhou Sabi's people loitering around earlier, no doubt looking for him!"
"Certainly! They probably won't cause trouble during the birthday feast, but after it's over, he's in for a rough ti!"
...
At this mont, the eyes of everyone in the courtyard were almost entirely focused on Ye Feng. In those gazes were sympathy, mockery, and thick sarcasm!
The greeter at the birthday celebration ca forward now, leading Jiang's mother to a table with people of her generation, while Ye Feng and Wen Lan wheeled Wen Xing to a table for the younger generation.
This table seated a dozen young n and won, and upon seeing the three of Wen Lan's family approaching, soone spoke up:
"Yoo-hoo! Isn't that our Golden Phoenix, Wen Lan? When did you get back? Do you still rember us old classmates?"
The speaker was a heavily made-up woman whose thick makeup was almost flaking off.
At this mont, as she looked at Wen Lan's increasingly radiant face, a hint of jealousy flashed across her expression, and upon seeing the faint traces of mud on Ye Feng's trouser legs, a sneer crept onto her lips.
The many young n at the table had their eyes light up upon seeing Wen Lan.
But knowing that Zhou Sabi was fond of Wen Lan, not a single one dared to approach her. Instead, playful and mocking gazes were turned to Ye Feng, as if waiting for a spectacle to unfold.
At this mont, Wen Xing's gaze was fixed on a woman not far away, already streaming with tears!
