Found 100 Million In My Rented Apartment Chapter 2060: Who Can Withstand Such a Trial?
Previously on Found 100 Million In My Rented Apartment...
Ultimately, men are the only ones who truly grasp the difference: a facade of a succubus relies merely on physical charm, whereas a genuine one harnesses the power of a lover's sincere devotion and adoration.
Zhuang Xiaoqiao was currently radiating an aura that mirrored a true succubus almost perfectly.
Such a trial was impossible for anyone to endure.
Nevertheless, while Ye Feng was preoccupied with his thoughts and assisting Zhuang Xiaoqiao in her recovery, a soft tapping sound echoed from the door.
“Sister Xiaoqiao, have you woken up yet?” Hai Xiaoyao’s voice drifted in, sounding somewhat timid.
“My sister instructed me to come get you for our morning meal.”
Likely terrified of being discovered, Zhuang Xiaoqiao responded instantly, “I’m coming out right now.”
“Xiaoyao, please inform your sister to begin prepping the gear for our ocean excursion. We intend to head out to sea as soon as breakfast is over.”
“Understood.” Being just a young child, Hai Xiaoyao was easily diverted by her instructions and scurried away.
In his haste, he completely overlooked the second part of the task Hai Ling’er had assigned him, which was to wake Ye Feng in the adjacent room for breakfast.
Once the sound of Hai Xiaoyao’s retreating steps faded, Zhuang Xiaoqiao hurriedly pressed Ye Feng to finish her recuperation session.
The moment Ye Feng concluded the treatment, she ushered him back to his own quarters and began her morning routine with haste.
After freshening up, the pair met and prepared to head downstairs to eat.
However, their descent was interrupted by the sound of a heated dispute rising from the ground floor.
“Get out this instant!” Hai Xiaoyao shouted, his voice thick with emotion. “You are forbidden from entering our home!”
Ye Feng and Zhuang Xiaoqiao rushed down at the sound, finding Hai Ling’er’s mother standing there with a grim expression on her face.
Before her, Hai Ling’er and Hai Xiaoyao were desperately attempting to evict a middle-aged pair.
The man appeared quite accustomed to such hostility. He remained unfazed by Hai Ling’er’s cold reception or Hai Xiaoyao’s demands for them to leave. Instead, he continued to lick his lips greedily, saying, “Ling’er, Xiaoyao, I am your second uncle, after all. You know that blood is thicker than water!”
“Yesterday, your baskets were overflowing with blue crabs. You’ve clearly stumbled upon a hidden treasure trove. Like they say, fertile water shouldn't be allowed to flow into a stranger's field. You really should share the location of this treasure with your Second Uncle and Second Aunt.”
“Once Second Uncle and Second Aunt strike it rich, we will certainly remember your generosity.”
The middle-aged woman at his side nodded her head in fervent agreement. “Exactly. There’s no way you can finish all those blue crabs yourselves. Letting them sit there would be a total waste. Why not let your Uncle and I harvest some so we can make some money?”
“Regardless of anything else, we are still one family…”
“You aren't welcome here!” Hai Xiaoyao clearly harbored a deep resentment for the pair. He tried to physically shove the middle-aged man out.
But how could a small child be a match for a grown man? No matter how much effort he exerted, the man remained rooted to the spot, completely unmoved.
Hai Ling’er made no attempt to mask her loathing. She retorted, “If we were truly family, you wouldn't have come to torment us when my father had his accident at sea. You wouldn't have pressured Grandma to alter her will just to steal the ancestral property intended for us. You wouldn't have stood by idly while our family suffered from such hunger that we had nothing to eat.”
“I haven't forgotten a single thing about how you've treated us over the years.”
“You didn't give a damn when our family was at its lowest point. Now that Sister Xiaoqiao and the others are with us and things are looking up, you want to crawl back and share the benefits. It’s far too late for that!”
The middle-aged man’s face turned awkward upon hearing this. He couldn't even bring himself to meet Hai Ling’er’s gaze.
The middle-aged woman, however, grew incensed by the embarrassment. She bared her teeth and lunged forward, her hands clawing the air as she tried to attack Hai Ling’er.
“You brat! What kind of lies are you spewing?”
“We are your elders! Have you no sense of respect?!”
Hai Ling’er instinctively moved to pull away.
“That’s enough!” Suddenly, a figure materialized between Hai Ling’er and the woman like a phantom. He didn't just seize the middle-aged woman’s wrist; he gave a subtle push that sent her stumbling back several steps.
It was Ye Feng.
“What do you think you're doing?” Almost the very moment Ye Feng intervened, Zhuang Xiaoqiao’s expression darkened as she quickly moved to stand by his side.
