To say that Shen Junxi was furious would be a bit of an understatement, he was beyond enraged. Furious enough to skin the man alive whom he once trusted more than himself, as he stood in front of Wang Mo's, his benefactor's recently built house, Shen Junxi could feel an unknown fire burning in his chest. He was feeling so stuffy that he wanted to drag Wang Mo out of his mouse hole and butcher him alive like a pig!

Madam Zhu pursed her lips and she too was staring at the newly built house with a sharp look in her eyes, if not for the fan that was hiding most of her face behind it, one could have seen how distorted her expression has become, nonetheless the chill emanating from the married couple was enough to freeze anyone to death.

The village woman who was responsible for showing them the direction to Wang Mo's house couldn't help but shiver under the presence of these two big shots but at the same time, she couldn't help but take delight in the Wang family's plight. That Madam Yao, of the Wang household, has gotten more arrogant than a Phoenix ever since Wang Mo struck his first oot of gold. Every time she conversed with her fellow village women she would make disrespectful innuendos, making it sound like they were trying to curry favour from the Wang family.

Humph, this will teach that arrogant woman that no matter how rich she becomes, a sparrow will always remain a sparrow. There was no way she will be able to become a Phoenix ever, in her life! 

Shen Junxi examined the two-storey house in front of him from top to bottom and turned to the village woman before asking " are you sure this is the correct place? "

The village woman thought that Shen Junxi didn't believe her, so she immediately nodded her head and earnestly replied " I'm sure my lord, there is no other Wang family in the fishing village apart from this one. I know you might not be trusting enough because the Wang family was not this rich before and they lived in a dilapidated house, but I'm telling the truth. Wang Mo hit a jackpot a few years ago and somehow managed to save enough money to make this big house, everyone in the village knows about it. You can ask them, if you can't believe me"

"No it's alright " Shen Junxi waved his hands as a troubled expression manifested itself on his old face, to think Wang Mo - the guy who once almost sacrificed his life to save him, would one day betray him. How laughable.

Madam Zhu couldn't stand seeing her husband looking so troubled and upset , so she quickly patted his shoulder and said " it's not your fault, you were trying to do a good deed. You shouldn't blame yourself for this, I already told you that people change, no one will remain the same, especially in the face of greed. You have given Wang Mo money and god knows what else, I don't think it's surprising that he got a little greedy halfway"

Shen Junxi 's heart felt sour if Wang Mo asked he would have given the exact same things to him and his family. Such things such as meat and clothes hardly cost him any money and he earned enough from his butchery and farming fields to be one of those rich people who own a carriage in the town. There was no need for Wang Mo to betray him for such measly things, ay.....to think his niece whom he called a white-eyed wolf hardly enjoyed happiness given by her eldest uncle. He was really useless! He couldn't even protect his niece from these leeches! 

Madam Zhu seemed to have sensed her husband's fluctuating mood and said with a scheming smile " husband, are you going to stand outside and do nothing but blame yourself? Shouldn't you at least teach our benefactor Wang Mo a good lesson before getting all depressed and everything? I would rather enjoy that rather than see you mope"

Shen Junxi hastily sorted out his emotions and said angrily " I'm not moping, alright? " then without giving Madam Zhu a chance to tease him any more further, he strode towards the Wang family house and knocked on the sturdy iron door. 

Shen Junxi knocked on the door however, no one responded. Annoyed he started knocking repeatedly, completely forgetting the basic courtesy of knocking at a regular pace and regular breaks, instead he - the boss of the many branches of fresh meat butchery knocked as if he was a hooligan who came to demand repayment of a debt or something.

The village woman who was standing behind Shen Junxi and Madam Zhu saw the spectacle in front of her and her eyes turned than she hurriedly turned around and ran to call those women who were at odds with Madam Yao. This chance, to see that arrogant woman be completely embarrassed and ashamed how can she enjoy it alone ah! 

" I'm coming! I'm coming alright! What's with this incessant knocking are you trying to break my house's door? I'm telling you if you break my door, you will have to pay for it !" from behind the door came an annoying voice of a woman, Shen Junxi stopped knocking on the door and stepped aside as if the couple shared a tactical understanding, Madam Zhu stepped forward with a polite smile hidden behind the palm-leaf fan that didn't reach her eyes. 

Madam Yao, the wife of Wang Mo opened the door with an unfriendly expression on her face. She was an ugly woman with a vain and sallow face, she was a typical example of a woman who has taken off from rags to riches. Thus even though she was wearing an expensive shirt and a skirt, made with a fairly good quality brocade, she didn't seem to hand understood the art of matching and choosing the colours according to her age. Even her makeup seemed to be done in an unskilled manner as if she has plastered her face in a bucket filled with face powder and slapped the rogue as she deemed fit. So when she opened the door with a surly grimace she looked nothing less than a witch.

Madam Zhu thought that this villainous face somehow suited this greedy and selfish woman who stole what belonged to her niece.. When she thought about the ' good deeds' of the Wang couple, her smile turned even more friendly but those who knew Madam Zhu knew that the more friendly her smile was the more incensed she was .
