"You little... punk! You've got some nerve! You... just wait for me!"

The leader of the group, with the help of his companions, got up, shot Ye Feng a hateful glance, and stumbled towards the exit.

They were covered in blood from the beating, in a very sorry state, especially since Ye Feng had knocked out most of their teeth with a slap, causing them to whistle when they spoke.

At that moment, the onlooking crowd parted to make way for them, not wanting to incur their collective wrath.

It was only after these individuals had slowly walked away that everyone's gaze towards Ye Feng filled with sympathy.

"Young man, I think you and Lanlan better leave quickly! Otherwise, if they come back with more people, you won't be able to escape!"

"Yes! They are with the Zhou Family, and Zhou Sabi has connections with the underworld in Minghe City. If they call for backup, not just you, but Wen Lan and her daughters will suffer too!"

"Young man, you were too impulsive!"

...

The crowd meant well, fearing that Ye Feng, a newcomer, didn't understand the gravity of the situation and advised him accordingly.

Ye Feng merely nodded at the people around him, showing no intention of leaving whatsoever.

Seeing this, the onlookers could only shake their heads helplessly and gradually disperse.

"Aunty, are you all right?" Ye Feng then went over to Wen Lan's mother, asking with concern.

"I'm... I'm fine! Thank you, young man!"

Wen Lan's mother was filled with gratitude at that moment. If not for Ye Feng, she and Wen Xing didn't know what would have become of them.

At that moment, Wen Xing's eyes were shining as he looked at Ye Feng, then turned to ask his elder sister:

"Sis! Is this handsome guy your boyfriend? So cool!"

Though Wen Xing was disabled, he was by no means defeated, especially after seeing Ye Feng drive away those thugs, his face was full of admiration.

At the mention of the word "boyfriend," Wen Lan's mother couldn't help but turn to look at Wen Lan.

Under the gaze of her mother and brother, Wen Lan's pretty face blushed, and she glanced shyly at Ye Feng before nodding.

Seeing Wen Lan nod, joy flickered across the faces of both Wen Lan's mother and Wen Xing, but then, as if remembering something, they grew anxious.

"Lanlan! You and this young man should leave now! Right now!"

Wen Lan's mother said to her, looking rather distressed.

Wen Lan was taken aback but before she could ask why, she saw two middle-aged women walking towards them from outside.

Each of these women carried some fruit baskets as gifts. Their eyes lit up when they spotted Wen Lan.

"Lanlan! We've been talking about you every day! Look at you, our girl is getting prettier by the day!"

"Yes! Lanlan, we as your aunts miss you every day. You come back and don't even visit us; do you look down on your aunts now that you've made something of yourself?"

These two middle-aged women entered the room, singing each other's praises, and set down the fruit gifts they brought with them.

Inside, however, Wen Lan's mother and her two daughters' faces turned sour, especially when they looked at the two middle-aged women, their eyes filled with coldness and disgust.

"What are you doing at my house? Are you trying to kick us out again!"

At this moment, Wen Xing glared at the two middle-aged women with a sullen expression, clearly angered.

After hearing this, the two women felt embarrassed and hastily said:

"Wen Xing! You've become more and more disrespectful. After all, we're your aunts. Do you really not welcome us like this?"

"That's right! Look, sister, you really should discipline Wen Xing. This child is getting more and more insolent!"

Listening to the two women, Wen's mother's expression also turned ugly. She glared at Wen Xing, signaling him to keep quiet, and then asked:

"Big sister, second sister! What brings you here today? Let me make it clear, if you're still after claiming this house, then please leave. Before our father-in-law passed away, he made a will and left the house to us three. We won't hand it over!"

These two women were Wen Lan's eldest and second aunts; however, ever since Wen Xing got sick and had an amputation, and their father ran away with a mistress, these two stopped visiting.

Even before, when Wen Lan's family of three couldn't afford meals and starved, these two families never paid them any mind.

It wasn't until the recent townhouse demolitions, where compensation was allotted to every household, that they began eyeing this house, intending to drive the mother and daughters out.

One could say that the actions of these two women had long chilled the hearts of Wen Lan's family; naturally, they wouldn't show them a friendly face now.

The two women anticipated Wen Lan's family's attitude, and still maintained a calm demeanor:

"Don't worry, sister! We are, after all, Wen Lan and Wen Xing's aunts; we won't let you three sleep on the streets. We can discuss the house matter later!"

After speaking, the women's gazes constantly surveyed the house. When they saw Ye Feng, their eyebrows furrowed, and after seeing the mud all over him, their faces flashed with intense mockery and disdain.

"Lanlan, who is this young man? He doesn't seem to be a local, I haven't seen him before!"

At this moment, Wen Lan's eldest aunt directly asked her.

But Wen Lan had noticed the mocking looks of the two women and felt a surge of anger. She turned her head away without responding.

In contrast, Wen's mother spoke up directly: "This is Wen Lan's boyfriend!"

"Boyfriend?"

Upon hearing this word, the two women immediately scrunched up their brows, scrutinizing Ye Feng from all angles, before saying:

"Look, sister, don't tell me Lanlan has been deceived! This young man seems to be just a laborer; how can he be worthy of our Lanlan?"

"Exactly! Our Lanlan is the most charming girl for miles around, and she's also a flight attendant in Mingzhu City. She has to be careful when selecting a boyfriend, not to be fooled by some ill-intentioned guy!"

The two women's scornful intent was now completely unmasked, and after speaking their piece, their eyes seemed to catch sight of the red gift box inside the room.

Especially after seeing the two shiny gold bars and stacks of cash inside the box, their eyes lit up with greed:

"Sister, is this the dowry sent by the Zhou Family? My God, it's really too valuable!"

"These two gold bars alone are worth at least five to six hundred thousand on the market! Plus this cash, it's a total of seven or eight hundred thousand!"

While saying this, the women also took a contract from beneath the gold bars, and after reading the terms, they covered their mouths again:

"A duplex of more than 200 square meters! My God, even though we're in a small town, it's worth at least 1.5 million! With the gold bars and cash, that's 2 million! Sister, quickly tell Lanlan to agree, and marry that Zhou Sabi. What a stroke of luck, like a pie falling from the sky!"
