All of this made him a gloomy person, hating everything, including his mother who gave birth to him and raised him.
In countless dark and sleepless nights, he always blamed her bitterly: Why did she give birth to him? Why did she let him come to this disgusting world to endure these insults and abuses?
He hated his biological mother so much, not to mention his father whom he had never met since childhood. He harbored a hatred in his heart that no one knew how deep it was.
Countless times, he wanted to pick up the chipped knife on the chopping board and rush to the Hu family compound without a care in the world. Even if he couldn't kill him, seriously injuring him would be enough to vent his anger.
But once he was taken back to the Hu family compound, Hu Zhifeng immediately put away all the sinister resentment he had in the small courtyard.
She always had a decent smile on her face and spoke politely. She was filial and polite to her biological father who had abandoned her many years ago, and served him attentively and considerately.
Hu Yi is satisfied with Hu Zhifeng like this.
His mentality was completely different from before. This was no longer his dispensable illegitimate child, but the only descendant of their Hu family, the only seedling.
He is the successor who will take on the responsibilities of the Hu family in the future.
Hu Yi hired many teachers for Hu Zhifeng, some to teach him about study, some to teach him about business, some to teach him about swords, guns, clubs, etc.
Hu Zhifeng never refuses anything. Whatever you ask me to learn, I will learn it, and I will learn it very well, and I will make you very satisfied.
Maybe it’s because he’s getting older, or maybe it’s because Hu Zhifeng is so motivated and outstanding.
Hu Yi was very satisfied with Hu Zhifeng. One could even say that he was a little proud of him!
Hu Zhifeng's mother, who was arranged to live in the big house in the Hu family compound, watched all this with cold eyes. She looked at the father and son.
She understood Hu Yi's true nature. His love for Hu Zhifeng was indeed sincere, but from a family perspective, he saw Hu Zhifeng more as a successor than a son.
If Hu Yi had another biological child, Hu Zhifeng would not be responsible for all this now.
But this gave her nothing to worry about. After all, it seemed that Hu Zhifeng had already integrated well into the Hu family.
Hu Zhifeng is Hu Yi's only choice!
What really worried her was her own son, Hu Zhifeng.
No one understood her son's character better than she did. The contrasting attitudes between him in the courtyard and now at the Hu family made her very worried.
She was worried about what terrible thoughts he had in his mind, and what worried her most was that his terrible thoughts would harm him.
This was her only son, and she couldn't let anything happen to him, even though she knew in her heart that her son hated him.
"What's wrong, mother? What do you want from me?"
The young man who entered, though not very tall, stood tall and straight. He wore a gorgeous navy blue gown with exquisite totems embroidered with gold thread around his collar and wrists.
It was a symbol of status, a symbol that everyone would look up to him, a symbol that no one would dare to insult him or point fingers at him.
All everyone had to do was crawl at his feet and wipe the dust off his shoes with clean hands.
And he will look down on everyone!
In the room was Hu Zhifeng's mother, who was now an old woman without any beauty at all. She was sitting at the table in ordinary clothes, and her old hands were sorting colorful silk threads.
Seeing his son come in, a gentle smile immediately bloomed on his thin and dry face.
"Come, sit down."
The old woman put the silk thread in her hand into the thread basket, and then took the thread basket to the chair next to her. She pointed to the chair opposite, and Hu Zhifeng walked over and sat down obediently.
"Where did this come from? All this sweat. Come on, wipe it off."
The old woman smiled and took out a white handkerchief from her sleeve, reaching forward, wanting to personally wipe the sweat from Hu Zhifeng's forehead.
Unexpectedly, Hu Zhifeng dodged it by tilting his head.
The old woman's hand was awkwardly raised in the air. It took a long time before she awkwardly withdrew it.
"What do you want from me? Tell me quickly. I still have a lot of unfinished business."
Yes, Hu Zhifeng is no longer idle all day long. He is very busy. He studies, does business, and fights with weapons.
At this time, Hu Zhifeng was not yet the little old man with deep wrinkles on his face kneeling in Yunmeng Hall.
He was a spirited young man, his eyes full of hope and fighting spirit.
"Iron Egg,"
"I'm telling you again! I'm Hu Zhifeng from the Hu Family Compound now, not Tiedan from the alley who was maliciously insulted by everyone."
As the old woman opened her mouth, Hu Zhifeng suddenly stood up and rudely interrupted her.
Yes, in the past, Hu Zhifeng was just an illegitimate child. Not to mention the surname Hu, even his name was not allowed to be called out.
Everything in the past was Hu Zhifeng's Achilles' heel, and no one could touch it, not even his own mother.
Just a name made Hu Zhifeng react so violently, which made the old woman even more worried.
The old woman "Feng'er" had no choice but to change her words. She lowered her head to hide the sadness in her eyes.
Hu Zhifeng looked at the old woman's gray hair angrily and sat back in his chair. However, after sitting down, he no longer looked at the woman, but kept looking out the door.
"Now that we're back at the Hu family, you've gotten everything you deserve. You're the only child in the Hu family, and everything they have will be yours in the future."
"I think you can let go of the resentment in your heart."
Before the old woman could finish her words, she was interrupted by Hu Zhifeng's cold snort.
Hu Zhifeng turned around and looked at his old mother. There was no warmth in his eyes, and the words he spoke were as cold as icicles under the eaves in the coldest days of winter.
"Let go? What do you want me to let go of?"
The old woman couldn't bear Hu Zhifeng's cold gaze, and her hands on the table were shaking.
Only the old woman spoke timidly.
"It's... the hurt you've suffered in the past."
"You also know that it hurts? Then do you understand what those hurts mean to me? Let it go? You want me to let it go?"
Hu Zhifeng said this and laughed, but that laugh made people feel cold all over.
"I'm telling you, all of this from the Hu family should have been mine. But these things that should have belonged to me have made me endure so much insults from people outside for nothing."
"Why should I let it go? Why should I let it go?!"
"I'm lucky to be able to return to the Hu family. God has spared me. Let Hu Yi never have any other children besides me. If he did, do you think we would still appear in the Hu family? Would Hu Yi still remember that there was an illegitimate child like me outside? Would he still take us back? Would he still act like a loving father and hire a teacher for me? Would he still think of handing over the family business to me? Would he? Huh?"
"Wind"
Looking at Hu Zhifeng's crazy and cold appearance, the old woman's heart was gripped with grief.
