When Shen Yu heard this, his attitude changed a whole 180 degrees. His tone softened, “I’m sorry, Li-mama, I shouldn’t have any conflicts with my younger brother…”

“I shouldn’t have appeared in that luxury store…”

“Not to mention that when my younger brother drove me away, I should’ve left immediately. I’m not a VIP member, what qualifications do I have…”

During his speech, Li Fenghua sensed that something was wrong and was about to open her mouth to say something when she saw Shen Yu take out his phone in a not-so-hurried manner.

“I didn’t really mean to annoy my brother. If I knew he was there, I wouldn’t have dared to go in!”

“I was afraid Li-mama would misunderstand, so I specially recorded the audio. Listen here…”

Before Li Fenghua could stop it, everyone could hear an arrogant and domineering voice coming from the phone.

“Whoever you are, go and call your store manager out!”

“How is your service here?!”

“Even random cats and dogs can enter your store?! Do you still want to do business in the future?!”

“Scram away. This place has nothing to do with you…”

“He’s not a VIP member. How did he sneak in here?”

“A mere actor can just come in and buy things? Are you trying to lower my status?”

“You better give me a satisfactory answer today or else everyone in this store will be fired!”

There were many celebrities attending the banquet. They all showed angry expressions when they heard this, “What does he mean? We actors are not worthy of being consumers?!”

“They’re both the Young Masters of the Shen family and yet there’s such a difference in status? A younger brother would insult their elder brother that much?”

“Sure enough, a stepmother will always be a stepmother, favoring one over the other!”

“Early on, I’ve heard that a stepmother would always abuse the son of the first wife, but I didn’t expect it to be true! She always has such an arrogant attitude whenever we meet. What would it be like at home?!”

Li Fenghua’s face flushed and turned pale at the sound of discussion around her. She pointed at Shen Yu’s nose and cursed at him, “You b*stard! Turn off your phone for me!”

“Believe it or not, I’ll call the police right now and have you arrested!”

Shen Yu turned off his phone obediently, “There’s really nothing else left.”

“If you want to call the police, feel free to do so. But what reason would Li-mama call the police for?”

“You’ll be held accountable for false reports.”

Li Fenghua obviously had no confidence in winning such a case. She had just talked to her precious son who was in the hospital and no injuries were detected. It would be a waste of their time and effort to go for a forensic check.

What’s even more annoying was that the surveillance devices in the shopping centre were all broken. There was no evidence of Shen Yu beating Shen Chen at all…

“I’m going to kill you—” Thinking of this, Li Fenghua felt a rush of anger and yelled out of control. She completely lost the ladylike demeanor she had, stretched out her fingernails and rushed forward.

Before she could touch anyone, she was frightened by a severe reprimand and she stopped in her tracks.

“Li Fenghua, this is the Feng Family. It’s not your turn to act wild here!”

Elder Feng appeared at some unknown point in time, leaning on a cane with a carved dragon’s head. His hale and hearty1 face was full of anger.

The vicious stepmother withdrew her hand resentfully, turned her head and said in an aggrieved manner, “Elder Feng, didn’t you see how Shen Yu treated me just now…”

“I am his stepmother, but how could he act so rude…”

“Aren’t you embarrassed to say this?!” Elder Feng was even more annoyed as he slammed his cane on the floor, “Xiao Yu had been abused by you ever since he was a child. He was even sent to the hospital for eight hours!”

“Are you even worthy to call yourself his stepmother?!”

Li Fenghua’s face turned pale, “Elder Feng, this matter is simply not true!”

“The hospital still has the medical records. Do you need me to retrieve them for you?!” Elder Feng had a serious expression and didn’t seem to be joking at all.

Feng SiRui, who was supporting him by his side, also had a stern expression on his face as his gaze fell on Li Fenghua like a knife.

Shen Yu was puzzled.

—— ‘Ya~ How did grandpa know of this? Why do I have no impression of this?!’

—— ‘Could it be that he had been eyeing me for a long time to have me engaged with the dog man?!’

“Elder Feng, today is the charity dinner. Shouldn’t tranquillity be the most important thing today…” Li Fenghua felt guilty and had to lower her posture.

Elder Feng snorted coldly, ignoring her. He then turned his head to look at Shen Yu, “Xiao Yu, you have the final say on this matter…”

“Do you intend to pursue this matter?”

Shen Yu pretended to be embarrassed, with a hesitant expression on his face, he said, “Forget it, she’s my stepmother afterall. It won’t look good to tear her face off.”

—— ‘Laozi still hasn’t spared time to clean her up yet. Just wait until Laozi divorces!’

Many guests were watching the play and Elder Feng didn’t want to spoil the atmosphere because of Li Fenghua, so he waved his hand, “Forget it, forget it. The auction will soon begin. Let’s put this aside for now.”

After speaking, he walked away with the help of his dragon-headed cane.

Li Fenghua breathed a sigh of relief, but then noticed the complex gazes from everyone around her. Many of which were mixed with contempt.

“Occupying the property of the Shen Family and abusing her husband’s son. How can there be such a vicious woman in this world?!”

“How old was Shen Yu back then when Mr. Shen passed? How did he grow up all these years? It’s good enough to be alive until this point!”

“Early on I heard that Li Fenghua treated Shen Yu badly. But I didn’t expect her to be so bad! Now I really understand why he’s so vicious. With such a stepmother, who would have good thoughts towards the world?!”

Li Fenghua originally wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to show her face and also punish Shen Yu. But she didn’t expect to be the target of public criticism instead.

If she stayed any longer, she would definitely be pointed at by everyone. So she could only look for a chance to leave in desperation.

She turned her head to look at Shen Yu, who was standing behind Elder Feng and beside Feng SiRui, looking at her with a proud look on his face.

She gritted her teeth and secretly made up her mind.

‘I’ll never spare you!’

Feeling a venomous gaze, Shen Yu watched Li Fenghua’s every more from the corner of his eye and saw her slowly inching towards the door while no one was paying attention. The corners of his mouth raised unconsciously.

—— ‘I feel so happy after abusing such scum. If grandpa didn’t take any action. I would’ve made that vicious stepmother feel even worse!’

—— ‘Such a pity, such a pity!’

Feng SiRui looked sideways, “Let’s talk about your family matters later. Grandpa is going to auction an important thing tonight…”

“You should go and bid…”

“Bear in mind…”

“You must win!”

Shen Yu turned his sight back towards him and asked curiously, “What is it?”

“A gemstone passed down in the Feng Family.”

“Since it’s supposed to be passed down, why is it being auctioned off?” Shen Yu was even more confused.

Feng SiRui pursed his lips, not saying another word, looking quite mysterious.

After dawdling a while in the garden, Li Fenghua stopped a waiter that was serving people around the banquet.

“Is everything ready?”

“Of course, please rest assured Madam.”

“I’ll transfer the rest of the money to your card once the matter is done.”

“Thanking Madam in advance.”

“Remember, once Shen Yu shows any strange actions. Call the police!”

“That’s for sure. Please wait for my good news, Madam.”

Li Fenghua smiled with satisfaction, then quickly turned away from the Feng Family Manor with her handbag in hand.

‘Originally I could have seen Shen Yu’s reputation be ruined with my own eyes, but it’s a pity…

But it doesn’t matter. As long as the results are what I want, it doesn’t matter if I’m there to witness it or not.’
