Chapter 663: Chapter 663 Kicked Out of the Gate

Li Feng grunted, and before he could respond, Mu Yuyan’s mother had already spoken, "Him? Seems like he’s up to nothing much. Last time, he even told me he was planning to take the judicial examination, but he ended up ’forgetting’ to attend it, ha!"

"I wasn’t wrong, was I?"

Mu Yuyan’s mother turned her head to look at Li Feng.

Yuyan herself was speechless at her mother’s overt favoritism. Even an idiot could see it was deliberate.

"Mom, you’re wrong."

Yuyan glanced at Li Feng. Why wasn’t this guy explaining himself? She couldn’t figure out what he was thinking, but her mother’s behavior was excessive too.

"Oh, I am wrong? Then tell me, what does he do?" Mu Yuyan’s mother asked, facing Yuyan. That darn girl actually had feelings for this divorced man and was now even confronting her own mother.

"Auntie, your cooking is really good," Li Feng interjected to change the subject. But in the eyes of Liu Yan and Yuyan’s mother, this only made things more conspicuous—her suspicion seemed to be spot on.

"Why are you changing the subject? Speak up if there’s nothing to be ashamed of. Whether it’s a mule or a horse, it needs to be taken out for a walk," she insisted.

"You’ve been listening all along, and let me tell you bluntly," Mu Yuyan’s mother spoke, "This Liu Yan is the match I’ve found for my daughter. If you’re pursuing my daughter, it’s not impossible, as long as you’re better than Liu Yan. Then I might accept the fact that you’ve been divorced once and have a child."

Liu Yan offered a playful smile, glancing at Li Feng with a hint of amusement. Better than him?

As long as one wasn’t born with a silver spoon in their mouth—a rich or official second generation—by the age of thirty, being as accomplished as him would be quite a rarity. In this regard, Liu Yan had every right to be proud.

By his own efforts, he had achieved what others couldn’t in a lifetime—all before the age of thirty. That was his capital.

Thinking of competing with him in terms of excellence? Heh.

"Mom, if you put it that way, it takes the fun out of it," Yuyan said, looking at her mother, who laughed lightly at her somewhat ’frantic’ daughter.

"I’m just being realistic," her mother retorted.

"The most important quality in a man is the ability to provide a sense of security to the woman he likes. I wouldn’t want to see you become a ’yellow-faced wife’ who scrimps and saves for the sake of money."

Mu Yuyan’s mother was very clear on this point. She could be reasonable about other things, but when it came to her daughter’s choice of partner, she refused to be rational—it was a matter that affected a woman’s entire life.

Men fear the wrong profession; women fear marrying the wrong man.

"Mom, are you saying that one only feels secure if they have money?" Yuyan asked.

"In a way, yes. Having or not having money is a criterion to judge whether a person is successful or not. For a man to become established by thirty— if a man doesn’t have a stable situation by then, it says a lot."

"Besides, he has already experienced a failed marriage. I have reason to doubt that his lack of excellence was the reason for the failure, that he couldn’t bear the responsibilities of family."

"He is the Chairman of Century Group."

Yuyan faced her mother, who seemed intent on breaking up any pair and was even introducing Liu Yan at her side. Yuyan was somewhat agitated, not because she really had any feelings for Li Feng—they’d only met twice, though both times had been memorable.

But they hadn’t taken that step yet, and Yuyan hadn’t decided. At least until Li Feng showed real sincerity, she wasn’t one to give her heart away easily.

Yet her mother’s forceful meddling was something Yuyan couldn’t accept, not to mention Liu Yan didn’t spark anything in her, despite his impressive qualities.

"Hmm?"

Everyone at the table heard what Yuyan had said.

"Say that again."

Mu Yuyan’s mother’s brain temporarily froze. Yuyan repeated each word clearly, "Don’t you want to know what he does? I’ll tell you—he is Li Feng, the Chairman of Century Group. If you don’t believe me, you can check the news yourself."

"If you must judge a person solely by their wealth, then he really isn’t lacking in money, which surpasses your standards by a hundred times over."

Liu Yan also looked at Li Feng with a face full of shock. Li Feng, the chairman of Century Group, he was that very same Li Feng who had been quite famous recently.

Although his online reputation wasn’t good, the chairman of Century was, in fact, the real deal—Century Group was one of the top ten conglomerates in Sea City, with assets nearing a trillion.

Compared to this giant, his own company was truly inconsequential.

After a moment of surprise, Mu Yuyan’s mother cooled down, "If you are that chairman of Century Group, Li Feng, then I’m even less likely to let you be with my daughter. The Mu Family has nothing for you to scheme after."

Hearing his mother-in-law’s decisive tone, Liu Yan suddenly felt enlightened. His mentor’s family was a standard scholarly family, with both parents being university professors who had very strict standards for personal character.

Although the other party was the chairman of Century Group, in his mother-in-law’s eyes, the man’s character simply didn’t cut it—he was someone who had climbed the ranks by leeching off others.

On reflection, there was nothing about him that warranted Liu Yan’s fear. So he was a chairman, he might just be a puppet. Besides, did he get there by his own skills?

He had reached his current position through his own hard work and strength. Compared to him, he was far more noble.

"Dinner’s over, and our Mu Family temple is too small to keep a great chairman like you."

"Please leave."

Mu Yuyan’s mother issued a direct expulsion.

Li Feng didn’t stick around shamelessly; there was no need for that. "Well then, uncle, auntie, I’ll take my leave."

Li Feng stood up and left.

Mu Yuyan bit her lip. She hadn’t expected that, by revealing Li Feng’s identity in a moment of anger, her mother would react like this.

"Sit down."

But Mu Yuyan resolutely got up to see Li Feng to the entrance, "I’m sorry, I didn’t expect it to turn out this way, and my mom... she...!"

"It’s okay. You go back and have dinner."

Li Feng put on his shoes, turned around, and left. Mu Yuyan’s mother watched him leave, then directly went forward to grasp Mu Yuyan and shut the door with a bang.

"From now on, I forbid him from ever setting foot in our Mu Family home."

Mu Yuyan watched her domineering mother with a disdainful snort and turned away.

"Where are you going?"

Mu Yuyan went straight back to her bedroom and slammed the door. Mu Yuyan’s mother’s face darkened somewhat, but she turned and walked back to the dining room, squeezing out a small smile, "Liu, sorry you had to witness this farce."

"Mother-in-law, I’m not an outsider. My sister was just confused for a moment, being deceived by that man. She’ll realize later that her mother has her best interests at heart."

"This Li Feng is too scheming. He never mentioned it before, and I thought he didn’t have a proper job. Turns out, he probably knew about his bad reputation and was afraid we wouldn’t even let him through the door if he told us."

"Yep, the rumors online are that he climbed to his position by clinging to the former chairman’s wife. Although it sounds impressive, he’s just a puppet, I’m afraid. Seeing that Yuyan is young and pretty, he is likely just playing around and has no intention of taking responsibility," Liu Yan said.

Mu Yuyan’s mother listened and deeply agreed. A man not even in his thirties would not just happen to sit on the throne of such a large group’s chairmanship without good reason— not even a parachuted military officer would dare such a feat.

Anyway, Mu Yuyan’s mother didn’t believe that the man had risen to his position through genuine ability.

Those online rumors were probably not unfounded.

Now seeing her own daughter, she was ninety-nine percent certain that the girl had been deceived by him.
