Chapter 1040: Who Gave You The Courage?

During that period, she lived every day in pain and grievance. She hated all the people who were cruel to her!

What did she do wrong?

Chen Feibai’s injury was not intentional. She did not let Chen Feibai take the blame for her, and she did not bring it up. Why could no one forgive her for an accidental mistake? Why did no one comfort her when she was also in pain?

She was also afraid, and she regretted it, but no one was willing to hear her when she said sorry.

“Chen Feitang!” Chen Shan Jin was furious. He chased after her and quickly pulled her toward him. She must have been crazy to say such words to anger Lu Xingzhi. It was fine if she wanted to say it, but she still dared to walk in front of Lu Xingzhi.

“Xingzhi, it is Feitang’s fault. I will get Feitang to call your wife and explain the circumstances.” Chen Shanjin tried to remedy the situation hurriedly. “Don’t worry about the army. I will definitely handle that matter well. I won’t let it affect you in any way.”

“I can handle that just fine. I am here because I am handling the matter, so there’s no need for you to step in, Uncle Chen.” Even though Lu Xingzhi did not sneer, his expression was full of mockery. It was clear that he was not prepared to let that matter rest.

It was not that he had no bottom line, nor would he tolerate that every single time.

“Lu Xingzhi, what can you do to me?” Chen Feitang walked forward from behind Chen Shanjin and smiled fearlessly. “I am the Chen family’s only successor now. I am a daughter of the Chen family. Do you think that my grandfather will let you touch me?”

No one expected that Old Master Chen would appear outside the door and hear every word Chen Feitang had said.

“Vile daughter!” Old Master Chen’s angry roar echoed from the door. His shouts startled the Chen family members in the room. Chen Feitang’s eyebrows jumped and subconsciously hid behind her father.

Old Master Chen walked into the hall and made his way toward Chen Feitang. He raised his hand and slapped Chen Feitang; a palm print instantly appeared on her face. It was clear that Old Master Chen had used all his strength in that slap. “The status that the Chen family gave you is not for you to destroy the family!”

Old Master Chen’s anger rose. “Even though you are a girl, I thought that you are still ambitious, as expected of the Chen family’s children. I nurtured you and promoted you, but I did not expect you would do such a thing behind our backs! Chen Feitang, are you only happy when you destroy the Chen Family?”

“Dad—” Chen Shanjin looked at his daughter as he quickly pulled Chen Feitang behind him. It was obvious that he wanted to protect her.

“Protect her again! You are her father; let’s see if she will drag you down with her when the time comes!” Old Master Chen scolded, “I don’t care who she reports, but she is not allowed to do it to one of us! Chen Feitang, I wouldn’t be too harsh to call you an ingrate. Feibai’s future is ruined because of you. Now, he has to grit his teeth as he endures rehabilitation training every day. He wants to stand up like a normal person. He just wants to be able to walk like any other person. He suffered so much because of you. For all our sake, I even let him take all the blame for you. But what about you? What did you do for us?”
