With the appearance of Ye Feng and Liu Xue, the crowd began pointing at Ye Feng.
"Oh? Is that the useless son-in-law of the Liu Family? He’s actually quite handsome in a suit."
"What’s the use of being handsome? Can you eat off that? A freeloading fool who has no shame."
"I didn’t expect he would even have the nerve to show up."
"He used to freeload off Liu Xue, but now with her downfall, he can’t even freeload anymore. Do you think he’ll starve to death?"
Even though they sensed something different about Ye Feng today, they couldn’t help but want to see him make a fool of himself.
In their eyes, without Liu Xue, Ye Feng might very well starve to death.
"Don’t pay attention! In my heart, you’re the best." Liu Xue quickly comforted Ye Feng, fearing he might feel uneasy.
"You...." Hearing Liu Xue’s words, Ye Feng curiously looked at her and asked: "What’s wrong? Why are you suddenly being so nice to me?"
"I’m your wife, and you’re my husband, isn’t that how it should be?" Liu Xue playfully retorted, pouting.
At the same time, Liu Xue hugged Ye Feng tightly.
Noticing something off with Liu Xue, Ye Feng secretly speculated. ’Could it be that something got exposed? And then Xu Kun invested in her, letting her find out?’
’Impossible! I just spoke to Xu Kun yesterday; he couldn’t have reached out to her so quickly,’ Ye Feng thought and found it unlikely.
But when Liu Xue and Ye Feng reached the center, Jin Er and Liu Shinian were still speaking well of Liu Xue:
"Mom, Xue Er’s just a kid. She’s absolutely without malice, just a moment of foolishness. Please give her another chance?"
"Exactly! Liu Xue, this child truly has superb capability. You can be entirely at ease with her as president."
"At ease?" Mrs. Liu Sr. sneered and reprimanded, "I was at ease, only to realize I raised a thankless child."
"Don’t say another word. The position of president has already been given to Qingsong, and that’s final."
With Mrs. Liu Sr.’s mention of a thankless child, Liu Xue’s gaze towards the Liu family members grew colder.
How much effort and contribution did she make for the Liu Group?
And yet, Mrs. Liu Sr. never even said one good thing, often sending trusted people to deliberately make things difficult for her.
She could overlook that and not claim credit.
But to be called a thankless child by Mrs. Liu Sr. was truly disheartening.
At this moment, Liu Qingsong stepped out with a smile: "Uncle, Aunt, no need to waste your words."
"The position of president is out of question."
"But, since we are relatives, and because I am willing to help family,"
"So, I’ve decided that as long as Sister Xue is willing to return, I will certainly entrust her with a significant role."
"Really? Xiao Song, you’re so kind," Liu Shinian and Jin Er asked excitedly: "Then... what about a position like vice president for Xiao Xue?"
The two truly thought Liu Qingsong meant well, brimming with anticipation.
"Vice president? That’s out of the question; that position is occupied," Liu Qingsong shook his head.
"So, is it group director? That’s not bad either," Liu Shinian and Jin Er, though a bit disappointed, were also satisfied.
"No... no... no..." Liu Qingsong shook his head again, suddenly laughing: "Cleaning or security, pick one. Whether it’s a cleaner or a doorman, they both suit Sister Xue’s style perfectly."
"Hahaha!" With Liu Qingsong’s words, everyone burst into laughter.
"Young Master Liu truly has a sense of humor, actually suggesting Liu Xue to be a doorman, he’s quite creative."
"In my opinion, let her useless husband be the doorman, and she can be the cleaner, making them a perfect match."
To curry favor with Liu Qingsong, those around chimed in, saying whatever came to mind, no matter how unpleasant.
With their words, Liu Shinian and Jin Er’s expressions turned ghastly, feeling utterly fooled.
Yet, even so, they didn’t dare explode in anger, knowing that now, Liu Qingsong, who controlled the entire Liu Group, was someone they couldn’t offend.
At the same time, Liu Xue’s expression was icy, her whole body trembling.
Clearly, Liu Xue was on the verge of an outburst.
Hence, Ye Feng let out a cold laugh and stepped forward with disdain: "What a crappy group? Even if you hired her with an extravagant offer, Xue Er wouldn’t agree. Stop being so smug; aren’t you ashamed?"
"Whoa! The freeloading bum is here? Think changing a suit makes you any less of a bum?"
"A spineless ingrate, do you have the right to speak here?"
"An Armani suit? Wasn’t that another gift from our Sister Xue? How much did it cost? Don’t you have any shame? Wasting Sister Xue’s money like that."
Seeing that it was Ye Feng, there was no need for Liu Qingsong to speak, others couldn’t help but despise him.
Not only these people, but even Liu Shinian and Jin Er, upon seeing Ye Feng, couldn’t contain themselves and scolded loudly: "You wastrel, how much of my daughter’s money did you squander again?"
"Do you really think wearing a suit stops you from being a freeloading bum? Take it off and return it immediately, stop spending Xue Er’s money."
"My daughter’s money doesn’t grow on trees. You’re from the countryside, do you deserve such good clothes? Better give it to my dog."
"Useless at making money, yet so good at spending it, what are you even useful for? Why did your parents bother having you?"
The two spoke in turns, their words extremely harsh.
Hearing what they said, the crowd laughed with great amusement.
Among them, Liu Qingsong was the most pleased, as he loved seeing this scene — the more embarrassed Ye Feng was, the happier he became.
"Haven’t you had enough? I insisted on buying this for him, don’t push me to turn against you." At this moment, Liu Xue stepped forward and coldly shouted.
With Liu Xue’s words, Liu Shinian and Jin Er didn’t dare to speak.
But the surrounding people still pointed and whispered.
"This guy is shameless, spending a woman’s money with such ease."
"That’s so worthless, is he planning to freeload for life?"
"Not an ounce of usefulness or ability, yet with a big temper, one should never date such a person."
"Oh dear! Hiding behind a woman? What kind of man does that? You’re a disgrace to men everywhere." Hearing their words, Liu Qingsong sneered, stepping forward to ridicule.
He aimed to make Ye Feng lose face entirely, making it impossible for Ye Feng to stand proudly...
