Chapter 269

Did Jiaqiang and Xiaoyue really bow and apologize to us in a humble tone? Muqing and her family

were stunned by their actions. However, a thread of amazed gratification rippled through them.

Muqing’s eyes glistened with delight. However, she turned to Chu Feng for help as she did not know

how to respond.

Chu Feng asked coldly, “Are you guys making a sincere apology or you are only saying this because of

the 80 million compensation by the Chamber of Commerce of the Four Seas? You have no choice but

to ask Muqing to return to the company. Seems like you were kept busy the whole afternoon trying to

find someone to help you with this matter. However, you can’t find a way out so you have no other

ways but to beg for our forgiveness, in hope that Muqing will agree to return.”

Muqing and her family were astonished. It suddenly dawned on them that Jiaqiang had pretended to be

generous as he was at his wits end. What a scumbag! He will definitely be punished for his actions.

Realizing that their intentions were exposed, Jiaqiang and Xiaoyue’s face scrunched up in hatred. They

were simmering with anger as Chu Feng’s words cut like a knife. They would never embarrass

themselves and plead for forgiveness if they had another solution.

“Who do you think you are, Chu Feng! What gives you the right to speak here!” Xiaoyue yelled and

pointed furiously at the man. She thought to herself, we are only afraid of the powerful Mr. Chu who is

backing Sanyuan. Although Chu Feng shares the same surname as this commanding man, he is

nothing but a loser. What gives him the nerves to act so brazenly!

“Seems like you guys aren’t sincere enough,” Chu Feng said nonchalantly. He turned to Muqing and

suggested, “I think we need to think twice about you going back to the company. What do you say?”

Muqing let out a laugh and nodded obediently. “All right, I’ll do as you say.”

Xiaoyue’s expression darkened as she tried to hide her seething anger. Afraid that Muqing would not

agree to return to the company, Jiaqiang hastily pleaded, “Muqing, you can’t wait any longer. The

company really needs you. You can’t leave us in a lurch…”

Xiaoyue begged, “Uncle Jiaming, tomorrow’s the deadline of the agreement. If Muqing refuses to return

to the company, we have to pay 80 million dollars to the Chamber of Commerce of the Four Seas. They

are known to be ruthless and capable of doing anything they so wish. We are connected by blood! Can

you really bear to see us suffer?

Jiaming’s face eased for a moment as he could not bear to leave them in despair. Fenglan was also

afraid that the matter would go out of hand and they would be implicated as well. Hence, she lowered

her voice and urged, “That’s enough. Just help your uncle for once…”

Muqing tightened her grip on Chu Feng’s arms and leaned toward the man. “I said that I will do as Chu

Feng says.” It was obvious that she was trying to help Chu Feng regain his footing in the family.

Chu Feng also thought that it was time to close the matter. Hence, he glanced at Jiaqiang and Xiaoyue

and said calmly, “Muqing can return to the company on three conditions. First, any matters relating to

Chamber of Commerce of the Four Seas will be handled by Muqing alone. No one can veto her

decision and she enjoys all the rewards from the project.”

Jiaqiang immediately nodded his head and assured, “No problem. I promise that we will never interfere

with this matter ever again.” In a moment of folly, he decided to snatch the business and nearly had to

pay up 80 million dollars. After this episode, he swore never to interfere with any matters relating to the

Chamber of Commerce of the Four Seas.

Chu Feng continued, “Secondly, Muqing shall be promoted to Business Development Director. I want

you to announce this to everyone tomorrow and you must personally welcome Muqing back to the

company.” He wanted his woman to receive the royal treatment that she deserved.

After pondering for a few seconds, Jiaqiang clenched his jaw and promised, “That’s not an issue.” After

all, he was already humiliated today, and did not mind being embarrassed for another time tomorrow.

Satisfied, Chu Feng went on, “Thirdly, Xiaoyue was disrespectful to her elders. She was unreasonable

and said hurtful words. Hence, she must apologize to Uncle Jiaming.” He pointed to Xiaoyue, whose

face was now contorted with anger, and demanded, “Kneel and apologize.”

Xiaoyue pointed back at Chu Feng with a death stare and screamed, “What?!” She thought bitterly, I

have to kneel and apologize to the cripple Jiaming? Over my dead body! This is atrocious, how dare he

make fun of me! I’m so going to kill him.

“Asshole! Don’t push your luck. Who do you think you are? How dare you instruct me to kneel…”

Before Xiaoyue could finish her sentence, Jiaqiang kicked her in the knee and forced her to crumble on

the floor. He bellowed, “Kneel!” He was already so close to succeeding and would not let anyone mess

things up. Jiaqiang thought to himself, I have already been humiliated. What harm would it cause to let

Xiaoyue kneel and apologize. All these sufferings are nothing compared to the 80 million compensation

that we have to fork out…

Xiaoyue’s knees landed on the ground with a loud thud. Seeing that she had no choice, she clenched

her jaw and said spitefully, “I’m… I’m sorry.”

The rage and injustice that was pulsing through Muqing’s veins seemed to disappear in an instant. She

stood up and said, “Uncle Jiaqiang, rest assured that I’ll be back at the office tomorrow.”

Jiaqiang replied, “All right, I’ll wait for your return. We shall leave now.”
