"Alright, Mommy has to go back now, you must be good!"
As the little girl was released, Kang Li bid farewell to Feng Lu. She then beckoned Min Rui to follow and proceeded towards the living room door. At that very moment, however, Mrs. Qi and Feng Lu’s elder brother, Feng Wei, entered through the main entrance.
"..."
Feng Lu’s expression flickered multiple times upon spotting Feng Wei. It wasn't until he approached her that she finally spoke, calling out, "Big Brother."
"Godmother, you..."
Kang Li felt a pang of confusion, uncertain how Mrs. Qi had located them.
"Using the license plate number, Xiao Feng had someone trace the car owner’s details, which is how we found this place," Mrs. Qi explained to Kang Li. She then introduced Feng Wei, stating, "This is the eldest son of your Uncle Feng’s family; you may call him Big Brother Feng."
Indeed, Mrs. Qi, concerned for Ming Wei, Kang Li, and Min Rui, had made a call to the Feng family. Coincidentally, Feng Wei was the one who answered.
Mrs. Qi quickly recounted Feng Lu’s actions in taking Ming Wei, providing the license plate number of the black sedan they had used. Feng Wei soon responded, identifying the car as belonging to Han Bin.
As for who Han Bin was, Feng Wei was quite familiar with him.
Having resided in the same compound previously, Han Bin was involved in foreign trade and had garnered some recognition in North City. Furthermore, Feng Wei’s current occupation involved foreign trade. Thus, upon learning the car Feng Lu and Ming Wei were in belonged to Han Bin, he immediately inferred that his sister was likely with Han Bin.
Was Feng Wei angered?
The answer was a definitive yes.
He had not anticipated Feng Lu’s secret return to the country, nor her failure to contact the family upon her arrival. If not for a call from Hu Yi abroad, neither Feng Wei nor the entire Feng family would have known Feng Lu was back.
What left Feng Wei feeling helpless was that even after receiving Hu Yi’s call and leveraging his connections, he was still unable to locate Feng Lu. He had even visited Shuimu University to inquire with Xiao Shen, only to learn from him that Feng Lu had not been in contact.
This situation caused Feng Wei considerable worry about Feng Lu’s safety.
Who could have known that Mrs. Qi’s call today would not only alleviate Feng Wei’s anxiety but also bring forth feelings of displeasure and disappointment regarding Feng Lu.
Returning to the country without visiting home was one matter, but becoming entangled with Han Bin, and then going to trouble those three children – for what reason?
Did she perhaps regard the signature she left years ago as a triviality?
Feng Wei could not comprehend Feng Lu’s motives. Laden with disappointment and vexation, he contacted Han Bin, ascertained Feng Lu’s current whereabouts, and then drove with Mrs. Qi directly to the Han family’s villa.
His gaze fixed upon Feng Lu, Feng Wei’s face remained impassive as he stated, word by word, "Let the child go with them."
At his command, Feng Lu hesitated initially, then swiftly replied, "She has already agreed to let Luo Mingwei stay with me." Her eyes flickered towards Kang Li.
"Hello, Big Brother Feng, I am already aware that Lady Feng is my Vivi’s biological mother. Prior to your arrival, I had a conversation with Lady Feng. She expressed her wish to stay with my Vivi for a period to compensate for the years of neglect; my Vivi herself is also willing to stay with Lady Feng for a while, and I consented. However, I issued a stern warning to Lady Feng: should she do anything to harm my Vivi, I will absolutely not let her off the hook."
Kang Li's expression was composed, yet her tone carried an extreme seriousness, devoid of any jest.
Feng Wei fell silent for a moment before responding, "Comrade Kang, rest assured, she would not dare!" Having never fulfilled the duties of a mother, under these circumstances, if she dared to harm a little girl, let alone what Comrade Kang might do, Feng Wei himself would be the first to show no leniency towards Feng Lu!
Considering this, Feng Wei actually felt a sense of guilt towards his three nephews.
All because, years ago, the family patriarch had signed that agreement alongside them. Due to the stipulations within that agreement, the entire family had indeed neglected the three children over the intervening years.
To view it positively, they had upheld the spirit of the agreement, respecting the decision made by their former brother-in-law. Yet, from another perspective, had their family not been excessively indifferent?
Even if adherence to the signed agreement was necessary, it did not preclude them from secretly extending care to those three children.
The outcome... Did they?
No, neither the family patriarch nor any of their uncles had genuinely concerned themselves with those three children. Weren't they, in their actions, no different from Feng Lu, the biological mother who had abandoned her children a decade prior for love?
