Reborn as a Weak Beauty Pampered by All Chapter 1392 - 1231: This Is How It Should Be (3)
Previously on Reborn as a Weak Beauty Pampered by All...
Even though he spoke those words, Feng Wei had already pinpointed a potential candidate in his mind, a man who could possibly be the biological father of Ming Han and Ming Wei.
"I'm truly getting old."
Old Master Feng roughly rubbed his face, admitting defeat. "I don't know what transgressions I committed in my past life to be punished with a daughter like Feng Lu, who's like a debt collector. If your Uncle Song and Aunt Qi learn of the shameful acts that wretched girl has committed, who knows what they'll think of me!"
"Dad, if Uncle Song and Aunt Qi truly find out, just offer them a sincere apology."
Feng Wei attempted to console the elder.
"Will a simple apology suffice to erase what that wretched girl did? I suspect your Uncle Song will definitely want to come to blows with me, and our relationship will be ruined forever."
Old Master Feng managed a wry smile and continued, "Previously, your Uncle Song and Aunt Qi were already displeased with me due to Feng Yi's situation, believing I was negligent. They thought I allowed your Auntie Fang to focus all her attention on you four siblings, neglecting her own son, which caused Feng Yi to endure so much hardship. And now, with the trouble caused by that wretched girl Feng Lu... forget it, I won't say any more. In the end, it's exactly as your Uncle Song and Aunt Qi pointed out, it's all my fault!"
Hearing Old Master Feng mention that their stepmother, Fang Su, had prioritized them, her four stepchildren, over her own son, leading to his suffering, caused Feng Wei's face to flush with discomfort.
After all, he wasn't suffering from amnesia; he clearly recalled how their stepmother had tried to win their favor when they were young and how they had treated her biological children, particularly himself as the eldest. He hadn't set a good example for his younger siblings nor had he corrected their improper words and actions. Instead, he had simply stood by as his younger siblings bullied Feng Yi. Reflecting on it now, he realized the immense excessiveness of his and his siblings' behavior!
"Actually, the person Comrade Luo married after Lu Lu seems quite good. We've heard a great deal about her achievements over the years," Feng Wei stated softly. Noticing the old master's lack of response, he pursed his lips and shifted the conversation. "Has Feng Yi been in contact with the family yet?"
"If you were in his position, would you reach out to a family that doesn't acknowledge you as their own, one that has treated you with such coldness, chilling your heart?"
Old Master Feng cast a glance at his eldest son, his agitation evident.
"Back then... back then, we were all still young. And fundamentally, it was Auntie Fang's outrageous mistake, her attempt to win your favor, doing everything to please me and the others, while ignoring her own son..."
Feng Wei mumbled.
"What's the point of discussing this now? If he doesn't contact us, so be it. That boy's temper is just like mine; once he sets his mind on something, not even ten bulls can sway him.
It's been so many years without any news from him, which can be considered a positive sign. Thinking about it... I truly hope he is living well, wherever he may be."
Upon listening to Old Master Feng's words, Feng Wei experienced a complex mix of emotions. From his and his siblings' perspective, the old man was undeniably a caring father. However, casting himself in Feng Yi's shoes, Feng Wei could only label the old man a terrible dad!
If he had been in Feng Yi's situation, he surmised that he would have acted similarly, severing all ties with this family and everyone in it, leaving far behind, never to have contact again until the day he died!
Honestly, in the depths of his heart, he had to admit he admired that boy's unwavering determination!
Shuimu University.
After their midday meal, Kang Li and Luo Yanqing accompanied Loh En to school, treating it as a leisurely post-meal stroll. They now stood at the main entrance of Shuimu University’s affiliated elementary school. Kang Li addressed Loh En, "Pay close attention in your classes, and after school this afternoon, Mom and Dad will come to pick you up. Then, we'll head back to the compound together."
"Okay."
Loh En nodded his little head with firm resolve.
"Hurry along now."
Kang Li's eyes softened as she smiled and waved goodbye.
"Goodbye, Mom! Goodbye, Dad!"
Before turning, Loh En also waved his small hand at Kang Li and Luo Yanqing, then proceeded through the school gates with his classmates who had been awaiting him.
As for why the three Buns were nowhere to be seen accompanying Kang Li and Luo Yanqing, it was because the affiliated kindergarten where the Buns attended provided lunch, thus eliminating the need for parents to pick them up.
"Professor Luo."
Back in their cozy two-story residence, Kang Li reclined on the bed for a brief rest and casually called out to Luo Yanqing.
"Hmm?"
Luo Yanqing was lying right beside Kang Li.
"Where did you go during lunch?"
After the morning drop-off of the three little ones at kindergarten, he had reappeared, heading straight for his study. Shortly thereafter, he emerged, stating he had urgent business elsewhere. Upon his return, he offered no words to her, yet she could discern his displeasure with effortless ease; his mood was evidently troubled.
