Chapter 161: Chapter 161: I’m Calling Off This Marriage

Ye Feng smiled faintly. "Actually, your diagnosis earlier wasn’t wrong. He wasn’t sick, he’s just a hopeless alcoholic. The walls of his cerebral blood vessels were already paper-thin, right on the verge of rupturing. When I provoked him with my words, he flew into a rage and his blood pressure shot up. With all that, how could his blood vessels not burst?

Even if they manage to save him at the hospital now, he’ll be paralyzed and bedridden for the rest of his life."

Fang Hong and the other two traditional Chinese medicine doctors were in absolute awe. "You’re the true Divine Doctor! We are utterly impressed!"

Beside them, Su Feng looked at Ye Feng and asked doubtfully, "How did you know he was a hopeless alcoholic? And how did you know the walls of his cerebral blood vessels were so thin?"

Ye Feng looked at Su Feng and said with a sly grin, "I could just tell. Just like I can tell your period is late..."

"Shut your trap! Can we not talk about this?!" Su Feng was so angry her eyes turned red.

Ye Feng burst out laughing.

Ye Feng turned to look at Su Youning, only to find her wide eyes fixed on him.

When she saw him looking back, Su Youning quickly lowered her head.

Ye Feng smiled at Su Youning. "See, Su Youning? I’ve solved another one of your problems for you!"

His words had barely left his lips when Su Feng, standing nearby, glared at him and roared:

"Solved our problem? No! You’ve just brought a catastrophe down on our heads.

Do you have any idea who that man you just crippled is? Let me tell you, he’s from the Ling family, one of the four great families of South Commandery! He’s the son of the Ling family’s Patriarch, Ling Hao!

You did that to him. Do you think Ling Hao will let us off the hook? No! You’ll just walk away scot-free, and when Ling Hao shows up, he’ll come straight for our Hundred Herbs Hall to cause trouble!"

Ye Feng looked at Su Feng and chuckled. "So you’re saying I should have just let them trash the Hundred Herbs Hall and not said a peep, is that it? You’d rather just be a coward hiding in your shell?"

"You..." Su Feng’s face went pale with rage.

Ye Feng quickly shook his head and offered a ’kind’ reminder, "Don’t get angry. You really shouldn’t get angry. Careful with that period of yours..."

Su Feng staggered violently, nearly fainting on the spot.

Just then, Su Youning timidly cried out, "Please, don’t fight!"

Ye Feng looked at Su Youning and said, "Su Youning, it’s almost noon. I’ve been busy helping out here all morning. Aren’t you going to treat me to a meal?"

His words had barely left his lips when Su Feng glared at him and roared, "Get out, you... you MAN!"

Ye Feng turned to Su Feng and said with a sly grin, "Just because you have a craving for *that*, do you think everyone else does?"

"You... you... you..." Su Feng trembled with rage, speechless.

Beside them, Su Youning said timidly, "Sister Feng, please don’t be angry. He really has been busy all morning. Let’s just have him stay for the meal!"

Su Feng glared at Su Youning, furious. "You silly girl, can’t you see he’s a total scoundrel? He just wants to take advantage of you, and you’re giving him the chance? I give up on you! This is making me furious!"

With that, she turned and stomped up to the second floor.

Seeing Su Feng so angry, Su Youning grew flustered and quickly called after her, "Sister Feng, please don’t be angry!"

She scurried after Su Feng.

With a faint smile, Ye Feng followed them to the second floor. Su Youning said a few words to comfort Su Feng, then went to the kitchen to cook.

Ye Feng followed her into the kitchen. He leaned against the wall, watching Su Youning, and said, "Su Youning, take off your mask. Let me get a good look at you. You are my fiancée, after all!"

Like a startled fawn, Su Youning quickly backed away. She looked at Ye Feng and cried out in a panic, "Please, don’t bully me!"

Just then, Su Feng burst out of the adjacent room, pulling Su Youning behind her. She glared at Ye Feng and roared:

"Ye Feng, if you dare bully my Ningning again, I’ll fight you to the death!"

Ye Feng laughed. "Seeing as you’re protecting my wife, I’ll let it slide."

"Who’s your wife?! Who is your wife?! Have you no shame?" Su Feng shouted, stamping her foot.

But before she could finish speaking, footsteps sounded, quickly ascending to the second floor. In the heat of her anger, Su Feng roared:

"Which blind fool is coming up to the second floor? Don’t you know this is a private area? Get back downstairs!"

The words had just left her mouth when a man and a woman appeared at the top of the stairs.

The woman was tall, slender, and very beautiful, but she held her head high with the corners of her mouth turned slightly down, as if the entire world was beneath her notice.

Behind her followed a middle-aged man who was a bit shorter than her, his face wearing an honest and simple expression.

From their positions alone, it was clear who held the power in their relationship.

As soon as Su Feng finished speaking, the woman chuckled and said:

"Su Feng, dear, did your Second Aunt offend you somehow?"

Hearing the voice, Su Feng peeked her head out. Her face instantly flushed red, and she coughed, saying, "Oh, it’s Second Uncle and Second Aunt! Please, have a seat!"

The woman smiled and asked, "Where’s Ningning?"

Just then, Su Youning came out of the kitchen and called out, "Mom!"

She then ran over happily and threw herself into the woman’s arms.

The new arrivals were none other than Su Youning’s father, Su Zheng, and her mother, Yao Qing.

Su Zheng, standing behind them, watched Su Youning with a kind, fatherly smile.

Su Feng then looked at her aunt and uncle in confusion. "Second Uncle, Second Aunt, what brings you here?"

Su Zheng, standing beside her, smiled and said, "Your Second Aunt and I happened to be in North Commandery for a business trip. Your grandfather told us the boy with the marriage arrangement to Ningning was back, so he asked us to come have a look first!"

Yao Qing looked at Su Youning in her arms and said with a smile, "Ningning, have you met the boy? What’s he like? Are you pleased with him?"

Before Su Youning could say a word, Su Feng spoke up. "Second Uncle, Second Aunt, I know all about this man. Come on, let’s go to the room. I’ll tell you everything in detail."

Without waiting for an answer, she pushed them into an adjacent room and promptly shut the door.

Ye Feng had planned to wait for the family to finish their chat before going over to pay his respects, but when he saw Su Feng herd them all into a room, he could only smile wryly.

’I’ve really offended that girl,’ he thought. ’It’d be a miracle if she has anything good to say about me.’

And just as Ye Feng expected, Su Feng was already starting to sling mud. "Second Aunt, I’m telling you, this Ye Feng is nothing but a scoundrel."

Su Youning, who was beside her, quickly interjected, "Sister Feng, don’t just make things up!"

Su Feng gritted her teeth. "I am not making things up! Second Aunt, let me tell you, that Ye Feng went to the Hundred Flowers Building to find women. Ningning and I both saw him there.

And he deliberately tried to pull off Ningning’s mask, being a total creep to her! He even made some gross joke about my period... Ugh, it’s all so disgusting. There are some things I’m too ashamed to even say..."

"Sister Feng, please stop making things up!" Su Youning cried out anxiously, but before she could finish, Yao Qing cut her off. "You, be quiet. You’re as naive as a blank sheet of paper. What would you know?"

She then turned to Su Feng and said in a cold voice, "And here I was, wondering what kind of amazing son-in-law the Old Master had found for Ningning. Turns out, it’s just a scoundrel like this!"

Su Feng, adding fuel to the fire, said, "He’s not just a scoundrel, he’s a broke loser! A good-for-nothing with no skills whatsoever. He’s not worthy of Ningning in the slightest."

Yao Qing’s expression turned completely icy.

Beside them, Su Youning cried out urgently, "Mom, it’s not like that..."

"You, be quiet!"

She then looked at Su Feng. "Su Feng, dear, I want you to pass on a message to that... that Ye Feng for me. Tell him I’m calling off this engagement!"
