C64 You Feel Wronged!

Zhang Chen's breathing grew rapid and uneven.

Lee Fengqin's words stabbed into his heart like sharp needles.

What lie had he told?

A cold smirk spread across the faces of the Lin family members. They were shocked at the extent of Zhang Chen's shamelessness.

Before Zhang Chen could utter another word, the growl of a car engine echoed from outside.

A Bentley rolled to a stop in the courtyard.

Yee Qingsong!

Joy instantly lit up Lee Fengqin's face. She rose swiftly and made her way to the villa's entrance, her expression brimming with elation.

The rest of the Lin family followed suit, standing up in anticipation.

Zhang Chen stood frozen to the spot, his inner fury simmering.

Was there anything left in the Lin family worth his longing?

In no time, Yee Qingsong entered the room, greeted by Lee Fengqin's warm embrace and the Lin family's eager smiles.

Lee Fengqin greeted him with boundless warmth, "Qingsong, why didn't you bring the Godly Doctor with you? Our Lin family would love to extend our heartfelt thanks to her."

Yee Qingsong paused, his face momentarily clouded with thought, then he responded cheerfully, "She's quite busy and couldn't make it."

A flash of realization struck Zhang Chen.

Lee Fengqin played along smoothly, "Such important figures are always busy. So, we'll just have to convey all our gratitude to you instead."

"Auntie, there's no need for thanks. My relationship with Zhiqing speaks for itself, doesn't it, Zhiqing?"

He turned to Lin Zhiqing, his eyes sparkling with excitement.

Lin Zhiqing gave a gentle laugh and nodded in agreement.

"Absolutely, you two are childhood sweethearts. You didn't get much of a chance last time, but today, you should really catch up!"

"Please, have a seat," Lee Fengqin said, beaming with pride as she watched Yee Qingsong.

Before long, everyone was seated, leaving Zhang Chen isolated, standing awkwardly to the side, ignored by all.

Lin Miao bit her lip and spoke up timidly, "Zhang Chen, why don't you come over and sit down?"

Her voice was faint, yet it cut through the silence of the living room, sounding strikingly sharp.

Lee Fengqin's piercing voice cut through the air, "Why should he be sitting here? What business does he have meddling in the Lin family's affairs? If it weren't for Qingsong's presence, and my desire to spare our family any embarrassment, I would've sent him packing a long time ago!"

With those words, she shot Zhang Chen a look of utter revulsion.

Zhang Chen was the picture of aggrievement.

Yee Qingsong arched an eyebrow, his curiosity piqued. "Auntie, what has Mr. Zhang Chen done wrong?"

Lee Fengqin let out a heavy sigh. "It's a disgrace. How did our Lin family ever get tangled up with someone like him? Today, he had the audacity to claim he brought the godly doctor to us! It's utterly repulsive!"

Yee Qingsong's frown was fleeting, soon smoothing into a look of ease.

He hadn't been the one to find the godly doctor, true, but he was confident that Zhang Chen wouldn't have been able to either.

With that thought, Yee Qingsong allowed himself to relax. Even if it came out that he hadn't found the godly doctor, his objective was nearly complete.

His gaze involuntarily drifted to Lin Zhiqing, his eyes alight with excitement.

"Haha, perhaps Mr. Zhang Chen was just a bit too eager to prove himself," Yee Qingsong eventually offered, chuckling.

It appeared he was giving Zhang Chen a way to save face, but the underlying message was crystal clear to all.

Next to him, Zhang Chen seemed even more inadequate.

Lin Guofeng's eyes sparkled as he chimed in, "You're truly a rising star. To be so young and yet have already befriended a figure like the Godly Doctor, you're destined for great things!"

Yee Qingsong replied with modesty, "Uncle Lin, you're too kind. I've just been fortunate, that's all."

Zhang Chen couldn't help but smile at the mention of luck.

"Qingsong exemplifies humility. The truly strong are always the most understated, unlike some who are utterly worthless and yet can't wait for the whole world to hear about their deeds."

Lee Fengqin's voice was laden with sentiment, and her following words dripped with scorn.

"Auntie, you give me too much credit," Yee Qingsong responded, still smiling.

Without further ado, Lee Fengqin turned her attention to Lin Zhiqing, her smile unwavering. "Zhiqing, why so silent? Today, you owe a lot to Qingsong's assistance, don't you?"

Lin Zhiqing paused briefly before smiling and saying, "Thank you, Young Master Yee. If it weren't for you..."

However, before she could finish her sentence, Lee Fengqin cut in with a chilly tone, "Why are you acting so distant?"

Zhang Chen's smile gradually faded.

Lin Zhiqing paused again, seemingly torn.

After a long hesitation, she still managed a smile and said, "Thank you, Qingsong."

That single phrase sent a surge of ecstatic light flashing through Yee Qingsong's eyes!

"Don't mention it. Helping you is the least I could do!" Yee Qingsong replied, his excitement making it impossible for him to stop smiling.

Zhang Chen's expression darkened completely.

In that moment, Zhang Chen decided he was done holding back.
