Chapter 1501 - 1258
It’s not that Elder Xi is overthinking; the emotional entanglements between Feng Lu from the Feng family and the young man from the Xiao family in earlier years are known by quite a few in the compound.And Min Rui does indeed resemble the young man from the Xiao family, and Feng Lu and Luo Yanqing were once married, so Elder Xi feels there’s an eighty percent chance that Min Rui’s background is questionable.
The Feng family.
"Auntie Fang, I have something to ask you."
"Coincidentally, I also have something to ask you!"
Returning from chatting outside, Fang Su pushed open Feng Lu’s bedroom door, and upon seeing her, Feng Lu immediately spoke without expecting Fang Su to speak at the same time.
The two were briefly stunned, then Fang Su stepped forward and sat on Feng Lu’s bedside: "Feel free to ask anything you want; if Auntie knows, she’ll definitely tell you."
"Actually... it’s not a big deal. I just find it a bit strange..." Feng Lu bit her lip with a hint of hesitation in her eyes and finally asked, "That person... why did that person’s wife appear in our compound?"
Upon hearing this, Fang Su almost instantly knew who Feng Lu’s "that person" referred to, she said: "Unclear, perhaps she knows someone in our compound."
"Impossible!"
Feng Lu said without hesitation: "I know she has some abilities, but the people living in our compound, is she someone they would know?!" Clearly agitated, Feng Lu shook her head repeatedly: "She took the man I didn’t want and is raising my child; there’s no one more foolish than her..."
Before Feng Lu could continue, Fang Su interrupted: "Lu Lu! Is there any need for such agitation? Auntie said that maybe she knows someone in our compound, but it doesn’t mean she knows someone as important as your father. Besides, she has no relation with us; there’s really no need for such a strong reaction."
"How is there no relation?"
Tears welled up in Feng Lu’s eyes: "If not for that woman, why would Luo Minghan and his siblings not acknowledge me as their biological mother? And Luo Yanqing, no matter what, I was his ex-wife, yet when he saw me after all these years, he looked at me as if I were air, said two words, and left, not giving me any face at all."
"Lu Lu... I know some things I say will surely upset you, but for your own good, even though you may blame me, I still have to tell you. I heard about your staged death back then from your father not long after it happened, and know that you signed some agreement, and your father and elder brother also signed as witnesses..."
Before Fang Su could finish, Feng Lu covered her ears: "I don’t want to hear, Auntie Fang, don’t say anymore, I don’t want to hear!"
"You might not want to listen, but I have to say what needs to be said to prevent you from creating trouble for your father over the children matters. Since you signed back then, it means those three kids are no longer related to you. If you insist on asking Luo Yanqing for the kids, should anything happen, your father won’t intervene."
Regarding Ming Han and Ming Wei’s origins, to this day, Old Master Feng still hasn’t mentioned it to Fang Su, but he did inform Fang Su that Feng Lu wants to reclaim Ming Han and Ming Wei, this set of twin siblings, from Luo Yanqing. To avoid escalating the situation, and revisiting Feng Lu’s staged death years ago, Old Master Feng required Fang Su to make sure to persuade Feng Lu whenever she talked about the twins, lest she get carried away and cause a scene.
After all, Luo Yanqing is not an ordinary person and can’t be easily manipulated by Feng Lu or even the Feng family.
So, the moment Fang Su heard Feng Lu mention Ming Han and Ming Wei, she instinctively tensed up, advising Feng Lu to reconsider her thoughts and the consequences.
"My dad won’t care, yes, he won’t care about me..." Tears fell as Feng Lu covered her face, sobbing: "Being treated like that by Han Bin’s daughter, if my dad cared about me, would he let that damned girl continue to attend school?"
Fang Su rolled her eyes in her heart; she felt that Feng Lu was purely spoiled by Old Master Feng and her brothers — spoiled to the point of disregarding others’ feelings and only thinking about herself, otherwise why would she have orchestrated the staged death incident back then?
Still, Fang Su knew, even though Old Master Feng and Feng Wei don’t really care for Feng Lu nowadays, ultimately, Feng Lu is the daughter of the Feng family. Can a father and brother truly abandon this daughter (sister)?
The answer is undoubtedly no.
As the saying goes, even a vicious tiger won’t eat its cubs; no one understands better than Fang Su how much Old Master Feng cares about the children left by his deceased ex-wife.
