Chapter 1824: Chapter 1822: Intimidation
To be precise, it was a set of bride and groom clothes.
The brideâs attire was crimson brocade silk robe, layered and intricate in embroidery, making the phoenix on it seemingly ready to soar.
On top of the wedding dress lay the period-appropriate phoenix crown and red bridal veil.
Beside the brideâs wedding dress was the groomâs outfit, equally complete from head to toe.
He knew when he sold these.
It was after his memories were erased by the clan leader father the first time, in the Capital Cityâs largest embroidery workshop, Brocade Embroidery Workshop.
At the time, he didnât know why he bought them, but he knew how he felt then, feeling joyful upon seeing them, without a second thought, he pulled out silver.
Yet he never thought to give the wedding attire to Liu Ling, instead, he stored it in his storage space.
Of course, Liu Ling was unaware of these two outfits.
At this moment, Chu Chengfengâs emotions were turbulent and immensely complex.
This time, with clear vision and full heart, all memories were intact, he knew the wedding attire was bought for Xiao Wen.
He never expected it would remain until now.
Perhaps, it would never see the light of day in his lifetime.
Chu Chengfeng sighed softly, his gaze sweeping over the red coral bead hairpin placed upon the wedding attire.
He had a brief affair with Sima Xiaowen, all because the red coral bead hairpin was lost, yet this wasnât the one Sima Xiaowen lost, but one he painstakingly found, made from red coral, identical to the one Xiaowen wore, though he never had the chance to give it to Xiaowen.
One wondered if Xiaowen still remembered the red coral bead hairpin, considering how she adored this birthday gift from Elder Sima.
Chu Chengfeng slightly closed his eyes, refusing to ponder these matters further.
He retracted his divine sense, then called the towing company to retrieve his car left by the roadside.
Just then, he received another call, and after listening, his face turned solemn, he stood up, donned his coat, and rushed out.
He abandoned his car in the wild outskirts.
Extended his hand to hail a car, swiftly heading towards the beef noodle shop.
By the time Chu Chengfeng arrived, Old Lee had already beaten enough.
More would result in fatalities.
Though Big Brother Luâs body bore no fatal injuries, he was in pain all over, gritted his teeth with hatred, wanted to curse the damned woman, but didnât dare.
Now he sees clearly, besides the beautiful woman, no one here would help him, especially the impeccably dressed man standing beside the damned woman.
This one looked down at him with a gaze, like watching a worthless wreck.
This left Big Brother Lu with inexplicable feelings.
In agitated wrath, he closed his eyes.
Old Man and Old Lady Lu rushed over, crying miserably.
Old Lee instructed Li He beside him, "Give him 300 yuan for medicine."
Then fiercely pointed at Old Man and Old Lady Lu, sternly saying, "This is the last time, if I see you here again, Iâll risk this old life to drag you three into hell, try me if you dare!"
The vengeful tone and the fierce look in his eyes terrified Old Lady Lu.
Thatâs life, indeed.
The meek fear the tough; the tough fear those who risk their lives.
Many are bullies, exploit the weak, fearing the strong.
Now Old Lee was even fiercer than Old Lady Lu, making her truly afraid, regretting deeply.
She hastily agreed, "Old Lord of the Li Family, rest assured, we wonât bother again."
But still felt unsure inside.
Receiving those 300 yuan, she felt at least the trip was worth it.
Then, the shop door opened again, and Gu Qiaoqiao turned around, surprisingly seeing Chu Chengfeng, her lips curled into a mocking smile.
Sima Xiaowen glanced once then disinterestedly looked away.
As Chu Chengfeng opened the door, he immediately saw Sima Xiaowen, and in that moment, his heart twisted painfully, unable to breathe.
In that instant, he wished he could kill himself.
The treasure he tirelessly sought through lifetimes, now lost by his own doing.
Heâs truly the worldâs most foolish and incompetent man.
Perhaps his current plight is heavenâs punishment.
With all his strength, he finally withdrew his gaze.
No matter what, he couldnât let others see his abnormality towards Sima Xiaowen, for the vicious woman wasnât dealt with yet.
It puzzled him why this woman was here.
Amidst the disdainful gazes, Old Man and Old Lady Lu supporting Big Brother Lu were about to leave, only to be stopped by Chu Chengfeng.
As Chu Chengfeng barred the three, Liu Ling clenched her fists tightly, unsure of his intentions but instinctively sensed something ominous.
Chu Chengfeng spoke, his voice calm, "How did you find this shop?"
Old Lady Lu looked at Chu Chengfeng, of course recognizing this young man; he and Li Gufen planned to open a shop, and she was aware this young man shouldnât be provoked.
Bit her lip, didnât dare to utter a sound.
Chu Chengfengâs voice carried a hint of coldness, "Lu Hao already strictly forbade you from disturbing Sister Liâs life. I remember you agreed at the time, why go back on your word?"
Without waiting for them to speak, he continued, "Did Lu Hao tell you? If so, Iâll call his superior now, see if he can continue in his position; violating his promise, letting his family commit misdeeds, heâs unfit for his role."
This time, Old Lady Lu was genuinely terrified.
Hands trembling.
Lu Hao is their sole hope, and if he gets affected because of this, then their family wonât have hopes anymore.
Moreover, Old Lady Lu knew if it happened, her son would despise her.
She waved her hand, hastily replying, "No, not Lu Hao."
Then, not waiting for Chu Chengfengâs question, pointed at Liu Ling, shrilled, "Itâs her, this woman told us.
She said Li Gufenâs living well, alone, with house and money, even gave us travel fare to seek Li Gufen.
Without anyone telling us, how would we know Li Gufenâs situation? Donât blame Lu Hao, he didnât utter a word, and this woman didnât mention Li Gufen found her grandfather. In truth, we were fooled by her..."
At this point, Liu Ling couldnât hold back anymore.
Shame and anger consumed her, she wanted to incinerate this old woman to ashes.
Regrettably, she wasnât the only Mystic Sect person here, and as the old womanâs voice fell, everyoneâs gaze was upon her.
