Reborn as a Weak Beauty Pampered by All Chapter 1390 - 1231: This Is How It Should Be

Observing Luo Yanqing preparing to depart, Elder Master Feng swiftly rose from his seat. He moved around his desk and positioned himself directly in front of Luo Yanqing, uttering, "Comrade Luo Yanqing, I extend my sincerest apologies for the actions of my daughter, Feng Lu. The fault lies with me for failing to instill proper conduct, which allowed her to engage in such disgraceful behavior behind your back."

While speaking, Elder Master Feng made a move to bow towards Luo Yanqing, but was promptly intercepted. "There is no need for this!" Luo Yanqing stated, withdrawing his hand and proceeding towards the office door. As he reached it and opened it, he glanced back at Elder Master Feng. "This is the first and, by all means, the last time I will seek you out. Should your daughter fail to exercise restraint, I possess the means to ensure she is placed where she rightfully belongs."

With these parting words, Luo Yanqing opened the office door fully and exited with firm resolve.

As the sound of receding footsteps faded outside, Elder Master Feng's expression grew grim. He lifted the telephone receiver and dialed a number. Upon the connection being made, he curtly commanded, "Return home at noon after work!" Without waiting for a response, Elder Master Feng replaced the receiver with a decisive click.

On the other end of the line, Feng Wei experienced a surge of bewilderment. He could not fathom the reason for Elder Master Feng's abrupt call, nor why he was given no opportunity to speak before being dismissed.

It was abundantly clear that Elder Master Feng was in an exceptionally foul mood.

The palpable tension emanating from the phone line was almost oppressive, striking him with considerable force.

Rubbing his forehead, Feng Wei gently placed the receiver back onto its cradle. He then leaned back in his chair, his thoughts occupied with discerning the source of Elder Master Feng's potent anger. Adopting a contemplative posture, with his legs crossed and his left hand supporting his chin, he tapped his right index finger rhythmically against his thigh, his expression inadvertently clouding with solemnity.

If the matter was not related to his professional duties, Feng Wei could not conceive of any other individual, besides his beloved sister, who would provoke such ire in Elder Master Feng.

A sudden shift in his demeanor signaled an oncoming headache.

Earlier, after confirming his sister Feng Lu's whereabouts, he had been entirely forthcoming with Elder Master Feng. Upon returning to the courtyard that very evening, he had apprised Elder Master Feng of the entire situation that transpired following Feng Lu's return to the country.

Following Feng Wei's account, Elder Master Feng had indeed expressed considerable displeasure. However, after repeated assurances from Feng Wei, Elder Master Feng had not dwelled on the matter further. But what could possibly be the reason for today's outburst?

Could it be that his dear sister had disregarded their previous discussions and stirred up fresh trouble, which Elder Master Feng had coincidentally discovered?

This thought caused Feng Wei to clench his jaw. He reached for the ashtray on his desk, a fleeting impulse to hurl it to the ground seizing him, yet a sliver of rational thought intervened just in time.

With a grimace, Feng Wei endured the entirety of his workday until noon. He then informed his wife via telephone that he would not be returning home for lunch and proceeded directly to the courtyard to meet Elder Master Feng.

The Feng family residence.

The study room.

"Dad..."

Approximately four to five minutes elapsed without any utterance from Elder Master Feng, compelling Feng Wei to break the silence.

Elder Master Feng's lowered eyelids gradually lifted, his gaze settling upon Feng Wei. "Shortly after arriving at my office today, Comrade Luo Yanqing paid me a visit."

"..." Feng Wei initially appeared startled, followed by a look of confusion as he inquired, "What business did Comrade Luo have in seeing you?"

Elder Master Feng brought his palm down forcefully on the desk. "You are unaware?"

"Dad! You are speaking in riddles. How could I possibly know what you are implying? Perhaps you could offer a hint, or does this perhaps involve Lu Lu?"

Although Feng Wei's expression seemed relaxed, he was, in reality, quite anxious. He was not oblivious to the fact that Elder Master Feng was genuinely incensed.

"Are you quite certain you have no knowledge of this matter?"

Elder Master Feng's eyes darkened with suspicion. "Or perhaps you are shielding your sister, concealing her actions from me? Are you afraid I will discover her disgraceful conduct and subsequently sever our father-daughter bond?"

"Dad..."

Feng Wei adopted a pained expression. "I genuinely have no understanding of what you are referring to!"

"You do not know? Very well, if you profess ignorance, allow me to be unequivocal. Your sister, in her marriage to Comrade Luo Yanqing, has inflicted infamy upon him. Are you aware of this? Furthermore, the twins she bore are not, in fact, Comrade Luo Yanqing's biological offspring. Do you comprehend this? And the staged premature birth she orchestrated, do you possess knowledge of that?"

As Elder Master Feng posed these successive questions, Feng Wei's countenance transformed, shifting from shock to disbelief, and finally settling into a profound sense of shame.

"You feel a sense of shame now, but when I received this information from Comrade Luo Yanqing at noon, I was so utterly mortified that I wished the ground would swallow me whole!"

Elder Master Feng spoke with ragged breaths, continuing, "That year, Feng Lu claimed she had taken a liking to a young man from your Uncle Song's household and requested our family's assistance, insisting on marrying him. I deemed the match unsuitable...Because that comrade's position was rather special, requiring higher-ups' approval for the marriage, you couldn't refuse the girl's relentless pleas and begged me for assistance.
