The awkward atmosphere instantly made Zhu Hongda’s face turn ugly. Yu Jia was a smart person, though, and she didn’t want to part ways with this rich man, whom she had finally met for the first time today, on such an unhappy note.
Thus, she hurriedly explained to him, “Jiang Feng dared to talk back to you, which is exactly how he treated me this morning.
“It seems that he must have suffered a huge blow after losing all his family assets. He must be planning to break all ties!”
As soon as she said this, the awkwardness between them dissipated.
“He deserves it. With that cowardly look of his, he won’t be able to get rich in this lifetime! He’s a poor man.”
Zhu Hongda’s expression changed, and Yu Jia quickly continued.
“That’s right. How could he compare to you? You’re so young and promising. Not only did you become the company’s manager, but you also have a house for rent. Now, you have me. No one is richer than you.”
Yu Jia immediately smiled and praised Zhu Hongda, her hands pinching Zhu Hongda’s fat pig claws non-stop.
This immediately made Zhu Hongda’s mood better. The awkwardness and embarrassment he had felt just now disappeared in a puff of smoke. At the same time, he raised his other hand to touch Yu Jia’s hand and laughed.
“You’re the biggest treasure. The pearl at the highest point of Shanghai can’t even compare to you.” It was unknown how his brain had started to work, but he could suddenly form words again.
“You are the best. That kid Jiang Feng never said anything nice to me.
“Not only is he poor, but he is also bad with words!”
Yu Jia saw that Zhu Hongda was happy, but she still pretended to be wronged to provoke him a little. She was really a drama queen and she always said what would work in her favor in each situation. Previously, when she had been with Jiang Feng, she had pretended to be very obedient and pure. Otherwise, Jiang Feng wouldn’t have been with her. But now that she was with Zhu Hongda, she was both charming and coquettish. She pretended to be wronged instead!
Obviously, Zhu Hongda liked this. As soon as she finished speaking, his pride surged out once again. “Hmph, what a poor kid. His vacation ends tomorrow. When he arrives at the company, I’ll teach him a good lesson!
“If he dares to contradict me, even if he can’t take it, he’ll have to bear the consequences!” Zhu Hongda said arrogantly.
Yu Jiamei smiled. She was ready to watch Jiang Feng make a fool of himself!
…
Meanwhile, on the ground floor of the hospital, Jiang Feng put away his phone. He hadn’t taken the phone call seriously at all. He didn’t know that Zhu Hongda was with Yu Jia, so he had no idea that all of this had been done on purpose to mess with him. He didn’t know anything. What he wanted to do was go to the company tomorrow, quit his job, clean up everything that needed to be cleaned up, and say goodbye to the company. After he was done with all this, he would start his own company!
Upon making up his mind, Jiang Feng quickly walked into the hospital and went upstairs. When he told his parents all this in the ward, the old couple immediately agreed. They all listened to Jiang Feng now. After all, he was the head of the family, as he could support the whole family on his own.
However, when they discovered that Jiang Feng had bought a big villa, the old couple immediately felt a little distressed.
“You spend money so recklessly. You can’t be so extravagant anymore!”
Yu Xiumin couldn’t help berating Jiang Feng.
“We already have a new house to live in, yet you bought a villa. This is too wasteful,” Jiang Jianzhong said too.
However, Jiang Feng didn’t care at all. Instead, he smiled and urged them to hurry back home to pack up what was necessary and move out tonight. He knew that although the two of them had scolded him for being wasteful, they had to be very happy in their hearts.
That was indeed the case. They had watched their son grow up and become successful. After becoming rich, though, he had not forgotten the two of them. He was even willing to spend money so they could enjoy their lives. How could they not be happy in their hearts? After being poor for a lifetime, they were now able to live in their son’s villa. Needless to say, they were very happy.
Encouraged by Jiang Feng, the old couple quickly returned to their home in the suburbs to pack up their things. Jiang Feng, on the other hand, negotiated with the hospital and went through all the relevant procedures. He then pushed his little sister down the stairs in a wheelchair.

“Brother, how big is the villa you bought?” she asked excitedly while sitting in the wheelchair, as if nothing had happened.
“It’s enormous, and there’s a garden to grow vegetables for mom and dad. I can even raise a bunch of white rabbits for you,” Jiang Feng answered with a smile.

“Wow! You can even raise rabbits? ! That’s great!” His little sister happily stretched out her two slender arms as she exclaimed.
…
A private car called by Jiang Feng and his family quickly arrived at the seaside villa in Shanghai. The place was located by the sea of Shanghai and had a wide field of vision. It was definitely a top-notch, wealthy district. There were only a few manors and villas like Jiang Feng’s around, and they were a fair distance away. After all, such a manor was quite expensive in a place like Shanghai, where every inch of land was expensive. This was not something that an average person could afford. However, the system had not only bought it for Jiang Feng but had also provided all the necessary information. Jiang Feng would have no problem living there!
He asked a few workers to leave their luggage at the entrance of the villa and paid them to leave. Then, he led his little sister and their parents into the huge villa. The salty sea breeze blew, causing his little sister’s hair to flutter in the wind. After walking down a long path filled with all kinds of flowers, they finally reached the door. Jiang Feng only raised his eyes, and his irises were immediately recognized, unlocking the door. Following that, the central intelligent system was activated. The lights of the entire villa were switched on, instantly making the surroundings brighten up.
“Oh my God, this is too beautiful.”
“It’s a four-story building. It should be around 500 to 600 square meters!”

The old couple walked into the living room and was stunned by the spacious environment in front of them.
“Wow! It’s so big! Just the living room alone is bigger than our previous house!”
“Brother, I want a fun tour! Give me one quickly!”
His little sister was dancing in the wheelchair as she called out to Jiang Feng happily.
“Come on, I will take you around the villa!”
Jiang Feng smiled and started to push his little sister around. As for his parents, Jiang Feng let them do whatever they wanted. It was their home, after all, so they could do whatever they wanted as long as they were happy! Meanwhile, the brother and sister chatted and laughed, one of them pushing the other around the villa. They looked around and heard the echo of their laughter from time to time.
Yu Xiumin and Jiang Jianzhong walked both upstairs and downstairs, exclaiming in amazement. They had never seen such a luxurious house in their entire lives. For a moment, they could not get used to it. However, when they heard the laughter of the two children, they looked at each other and laughed. The originally spacious living room was filled with the laughter of the entire family. The 500 square meters of space were filled with happiness, and even the air seemed to have softened.
“Xiao Yu, guess what’s in this room?” Jiang Feng pushed his little sister to the door of a room on the second floor, pretending to be mysterious.
“Uh…” Jiang Feng’s question made his little sister feel a little insecure. After thinking for a few seconds, she raised her head and blinked her watery eyes. She looked at Jiang Feng, who was behind her, and answered, “Is it my bedroom?”
“How can you be so smart?!” Jiang Feng opened his mouth and laughed in surprise. At the same time, he opened the door of the room in front of him. A second later, the smart sensor light lit up, and an overload of cuteness filled his eyes!
The entire room was full of pink, cute stuff, and the surrounding cabinets were filled with adorable figurines and toys. A few cute dolls on the bedside quietly waited for the arrival of their little owner. Upon seeing this, his little sister was stunned on the spot, and her eyes widened in disbelief as she looked at everything in the room. A moment later, she came back to her senses and turned around to look at Jiang Feng with a face full of surprise.

Then, she screamed out loud. She was so excited that she almost jumped out of her wheelchair. If Jiang Feng had not pulled her back carefully, she might have gone to the hospital again tonight.
“Brother, I love you to death!” His little sister was so excited that she danced around and pulled Jiang Feng to give him a fierce kiss on the face. Then, she grinned.

Jiang Feng looked at his little sister, who was so happy that she could not control herself, and smiled in relief. What kind of girl didn’t want a princess room that belonged only to her? Now, her brother had given it to her!
…
The brother and sister played upstairs and downstairs for a long time. They didn’t stop until their mother called them for dinner. Although it was already past nine o’clock in the evening, this didn’t prevent them from having a warm dinner together.
“Hehe, I just heard a pretty girl send a message to you,” his little sister said with a smile while eating.
After that, she turned her head and looked at Jiang Feng with a wicked smile. “Brother, are you going to find me a pretty sister-in-law?”
Then, she took two more mouthfuls of rice and pretended to be mature. “Mom and dad are already waiting to have a grandson.”
The rest of her family, who was eating, was stunned upon hearing what she’d said. Then, they burst into laughter because of her weird behavior. Their laughter filled the dining table late at night, and the warm looks on the family’s faces stayed there until dinner ended. Their mom then went to clean the kitchen as usual, and the family went back to their rooms to rest.
…
While lying in bed on soft velvet pillows, Yu Xiumin and Jiang Jianzhong got some sleep. They had thought a lot about their daughter’s leg injury and their son’s actions. Everything weighed heavily in their hearts, even though they were very optimistic, and they still could not help but worry.
Jiang Feng’s little sister held the doll sitting by the bedside and looked at the things around her. Her heart was full of thoughts… Not only was she happy, but she also looked forward to the future and seeing her brother during the day…
Meanwhile, after a busy day, her brother was lying in bed, feeling a little tired. He wasn’t in a very energetic mood. His mind was only filled with thoughts of starting a company. What kind of company should he start? How should he recruit people, and how should he position himself to ensure his future development? As he considered these questions, Jiang Feng slowly closed his eyes and fell asleep…
