Kang Li and Min Rui are about to leave when Mrs. Qi and Feng Lu's elder brother, Feng Wei, arrive. Feng Wei is angry that Feng Lu returned to the country without contacting her family and is now involved with Han Bin. He confronts Feng Lu and demands she let the child go with Kang Li and Min Rui. Kang Li explains that Feng Lu is Vivi's biological mother and that Vivi agreed to stay with her for a while, but Kang Li warned Feng Lu against harming her.
"Let’s hope so." Kang Li responded to Feng Wei, then addressed Mrs. Qi, saying, "Godmother, let's head back now." Mrs. Qi gave a nod. Kang Li motioned for Min Rui to follow, and the three of them boarded the car. Peeking through the slightly ajar window, Kang Li glanced back at the living room entrance. She observed Ming Wei averting her gaze, finding the situation rather amusing. "Vivi, Mom is heading off now. If you begin to miss home, give Mom a call, and I'll come to pick you up." Kang Li waved goodbye to the young girl before turning her attention away. Han Qian watched Kang Li and Ming Wei conversing. As she held Ming Wei in her arms, her eyes remained fixed on the pair. A profound sense of envy, bordering on deep jealousy, washed over her. To possess such a remarkable stepmother, one whose affection surpassed that of a biological mother, and yet to scorn this kindness and choose instead to be with her mediocre birth mother—had Luo Mingwei completely lost her senses? In preschool, Aunt Kang was known as Teacher Lizi, and Han Qian had adored listening to "Teacher Lizi Tells Stories." With her gentle voice, imbued with a smile and a talent for weaving enchanting tales, Han Qian would be utterly captivated whenever Teacher Lizi appeared on television to tell stories. Back then, she used to dream how wonderful it would be if Teacher Lizi were her own mother. Exquisitely beautiful, like a delicate fairy, possessing a voice as warm and radiant as sunshine when she smiled, and singing with a melody as delightful as a nightingale's—yet this exceptional Teacher Lizi was Luo Mingwei’s stepmother. Perhaps it was precisely this overwhelming jealousy that always made her act contrarily towards Luo Mingwei and prevented her from truly connecting with her. Now, with almost seven or eight years having passed since her preschool days, Luo Mingwei struck Han Qian as increasingly irritating, especially now, exhibiting a blatant lack of sense. Hmph! Wasn't she supposed to be staying at her own home? Very well, she would soon make Luo Mingwei understand the true meaning of regret! Concealing the intense jealousy within her eyes, Han Qian made a firm resolution: Luo Mingwei's stay at her house would not be a pleasant one. "Big Brother, please, just say what is on your mind," Feng Lu stated, her tone quite relaxed as she led Feng Wei toward the study located upstairs. "Returning to the country without informing the family—if not for the unexpected news today, did you intend to remain out of contact until your very last day?" Feng Wei's expression turned grim. "Speak plainly: what is happening between you and Hu Yi, and why have you brought that child to live with you?" "Hu Yi? What could possibly exist between him and me? He's a despicable, shameless man—his very sight disgusts me. As for wanting Ming Wei to stay with me, there's no grand reason; I simply wish for my daughter to reside with me—is that not permissible?" "Have you ever, for even a single day, shouldered any responsibility as a mother toward that child?" "No, but she is my own blood!" "You certainly possess a remarkably thick skin." "Big Brother, you needn't resort to mocking me in such a manner. Ultimately, I am the biological mother of Luo Mingwei and her siblings; that is an undeniable truth." "..." Feng Lu's demeanor shifted dramatically the moment she laid eyes on Feng Wei. It wasn't until Feng Wei stood directly before her that she finally managed to speak, softly calling out, "Big Brother." "Godmother, you..." Kang Li uttered, a flicker of confusion in her eyes, unsure how Mrs. Qi had managed to locate this place. "Using the license plate number, Xiao Feng managed to identify the vehicle's owner, and that's how we found our way here," Mrs. Qi explained to Kang Li. She then promptly introduced Feng Wei: "This is the eldest son of your Uncle Feng's family; you may address him as Big Brother Feng." Indeed, Mrs. Qi's concern for Ming Wei, coupled with her worry for Kang Li and Min Rui, had prompted her to contact the Feng family. Coincidentally, Feng Wei was the one who answered the call. She briefly recounted the situation of Feng Lu taking Ming Wei away and provided the license plate number of the black sedan Feng Lu had used with Ming Wei. Shortly thereafter, Feng Wei informed her that the car was registered under the name Han Bin. And Han Bin was someone Feng Wei knew quite well. They had resided in the same compound previously. Han Bin was involved in foreign trade and held a notable reputation in North City. Furthermore, Feng Wei's current place of employment also managed foreign trade. Consequently, upon learning that Feng Lu had brought Ming Wei in a vehicle registered under Han Bin's name, he immediately surmised that his sister was likely with Han Bin. Was Feng Wei experiencing anger? The definitive answer was yes. He had not anticipated Feng Lu's clandestine return to the country, nor had he imagined she would refrain from contacting the family upon her arrival. Had it not been for Hu Yi's telephone call from abroad, Feng Wei and the entire Feng family would still be under the mistaken impression that Feng Lu remained overseas. Yet, what left Feng Wei feeling utterly helpless was that even after receiving Hu Yi's call, despite leveraging his connections, he was unable to locate Feng Lu. He had even visited Shuimu University to inquire with Xiao Shen, only to receive Xiao Shen's reply stating that Feng Lu had not approached him.
