C65 Lau Qingyue Is Coming?

Lin Guofeng and his companions watched with beaming smiles.

Lee Fengqin's grin was so wide she could barely close her mouth. To everyone there, they seemed like a perfect match.

Yee Qingsong was equally thrilled, almost visualizing himself embracing Lin Zhiqing.

But as he indulged in his fantasy, Zhang Chen's icy voice cut through the air, "Young Master Yee, was it you who brought the Godly Doctor?"

His question snapped everyone back to reality.

Yee Qingsong's brow creased with a twinge of guilt.

Yet, upon reflection, he dismissed the idea that Zhang Chen could have been the one to find the Godly Doctor. What mattered was that the Lin family believed he was responsible for her arrival!

With this realization, Yee Qingsong's tension melted away. He retorted with a sneer, "Mr. Zhang Chen, you're out of line. I was about to speak in your favor, and yet you're accusing me?"

"If I didn't find her, are you claiming you did?"

Zhang Chen's sneer was sharp. "Exactly. I'm the one who found her."

Lin Zhiqing's brows knitted together as a frosty intensity grew in her gaze.

Without a moment's hesitation, Lee Fengqin rebuked, "Zhang Chen, you have no voice here."

"You're not even worthy to lick the Godly Doctor's boots in this lifetime! How dare you claim you brought her here?"

"Just get out!" she spat with contempt.

The rest of the Lin family seethed with anger.

They had little regard for Zhang Chen, but his brazenness was beyond what they had anticipated!

Zhang Chen's eyes narrowed, his inner rage boiling over.

The sting of such humiliation was unbearable!

Lost in his frustration, his phone's ring jolted him. It was Lau Qingyue.

Furrowing his brow and recalling the day's events, a sense of foreboding washed over him.

He answered hastily, "Hello, what's the matter?"

Lau Qingyue's sultry voice came through, "Where are you?"

Her tone wasn't urgent, which eased Zhang Chen's nerves. "I'm at home," he replied.

The moment the words left his mouth, he regretted them.

Lee Fengqin's voice cut in sharply, "At whose home? You're no longer associated with the Lin family!"

"Pack your things and get out now! You're nothing but an annoyance to me!"

Lin Zhiqing, standing nearby, couldn't help but furrow her brow at these harsh words. Zhang Chen was on a call, after all.

Instinctively, Zhang Chen covered the receiver.

"Are you at the Lin's?" Lau Qingyue's voice turned icy.

Stunned, Zhang Chen quickly tried to clarify, "Fourth Sister, it's not what you think."

The line went dead.

This was bad.

A sinking feeling took hold of Zhang Chen.

He no longer wanted to stay with the Lin family, but he also didn't want to burn bridges. He had his master's final wish to fulfill.

He tried calling Lau Qingyue back immediately, but she hung up on him again.

Now what?

Zhang Chen let out a heavy sigh, his confusion deepening.

Lee Fengqin gave a cold laugh, her voice dripping with sarcasm, "Oh? Is your friend coming to fight for your cause? Would she even dare to step foot in the Lin household?"

Her words drew snickers from those around.

Who did Zhang Chen think his friend was?

Lin Miao frowned, troubled memories surfacing unbidden, concern flickering in her eyes. Yet, she was at a loss for words.

"I don't want her to come here..." Zhang Chen admitted, feeling helpless.

Lau Qingyue's interruption had, oddly enough, taken the edge off his anger. He was genuinely concerned.

"Our Lin family may have fallen on hard times, but that doesn't mean we're open to being bullied by just anyone," Lee Fengqin said, her eyes flashing with contempt.

Yee Qingsong's lips curled into a smirk. "Auntie, rest assured. The Yee family will always stand with you."

"Even if Zhang Chen could rub shoulders with high-profile figures, could he possibly outmatch our two families?"

Lee Fengqin beamed at their reassurances.

Zhang Chen couldn't be bothered with their taunts. His mind was preoccupied with what he would do if Lau Qingyue actually showed up.

Yee Qingsong, grinning, prodded further, "So, Zhang Chen, who is this 'Fourth Sister' of yours? She must be quite the character to challenge the authority of the Lin and Yee families."

Lee Fengqin's lips curled into a sneer. "Can his friend even make two thousand a month?"

Laughter erupted from those around her.

Lee Fengqin didn't let up, taunting, "Zhang Chen, it's one thing for you to be foolish, but why are all your friends such blockheads?"

"You're utterly clueless about the ways of the world!"

Zhang Chen's brow furrowed as he retorted icily, "Why do you feel the need to mock others?"

Unfazed, Lee Fengqin arched an eyebrow and continued with biting sarcasm, "Oh, Zhang Chen, you've really outdone yourself! You're on the verge of divorcing our Zhiqing."

"But I'm telling you now, you've made a grave mistake!"

"Today, I'm determined to see you thrown out of the Lin family!"

"And if your friend has the audacity to show up, I'll make sure she's tossed out right alongside you!"

Her voice dripped with endless arrogance.

Zhang Chen chuckled.

If only the Lin family had someone as assertive as Lee Fengqin, would they have ever fallen so low?

Soon enough, Zhang Chen regained his composure and asked with a grin, "And what if my friend happens to be the renowned Godly Doctor?"

At that, the room plunged into an eerie hush.

Then, suddenly, raucous laughter burst forth once more.
