Chapter 367: How Dare The Feng Family
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
“I'm quite busy with work and don't stay at home for long. I have to go to work immediately in three days at most. Third Uncle either didn't rush back in those few days or stayed in his courtyard when he came back. Other than eating, I won't stay in the main building for long, so naturally, I didn't meet him.”
“I see.”
“Is there anything else you want to know?”
The two of them only looked at her without saying anything. Feng Qin thought that they were embarrassed to ask further, so she smiled and said, “It's fine. You can ask. If I know anything, I'll definitely tell you.”
Xi Fengling clenched her fists. “Where does your mother live?”
The smile on Feng Qin's face froze.
She stared at Xi Fengling for a long time before saying, “She lives in the courtyard at the back. She rarely goes out…”
Feng Qin clearly wanted to say something, but she stopped herself.
Xi Fengling clearly wanted to say something, but after a moment of hesitation, she retracted her words.
At this moment, Yan Jinyu said slowly, “Since we're here in the Feng Family, we should go and visit Auntie. I wonder if it's convenient?”
Xi Fengling's heart warmed.
Beauty Yu was really…
She was meticulous and considerate.
“O-of course, it's convenient.” Feng Qin wanted to mention this, but she didn't know how to say it. Now that Yan Jinyu asked, it suited her perfectly.
“But there's no hurry. You still have to play in Cloud City for a few days. You just arrived in Cloud City today and are tired from the flight. Let's do it tomorrow.”
Yan Jinyu smiled. “Alright, I hope it won't disturb Auntie's peace.”
“No, no. My mother must be very happy… I mean, I've never brought any friends back. My mother would be very happy to see you guys.”
“Mm-hm.”
Yan Jinyu looked at Feng Qin deeply.
It seemed like Feng Qin really knew that she had a sister and had decided that her sister was Meimei.
As the three of them spoke, they headed for the Feng Family's main building.
It happened to be dinner time. Almost everyone in the Feng Family was sitting in the living room of the main building.
When Feng Qin led the two of them over, the people in the living room looked at them.
The Old Master of the Feng Family, Feng Qing, looked at Yan Jinyu first, then quickly moved to Xi Fengling and stopped on her face for a moment.
Fortunately, there weren't many Feng Family members to begin with. Including those who weren't at home and Feng Yan, who was injured and couldn't get out of bed, there were only four Feng Family members in the living room.
Other than Old Master Feng Qing, there was only Old Madam Lu Ping and Feng Hua and his wife, Lu Yuan.
Lu Yuan and Lu Ping were distant relatives.
Other than Lu Yuan, who had interacted with them earlier, and Feng Hua, who had seen Yan Jinyu in the Boyu High School's teacher's office, everyone's attention was on Xi Fengling now.
Feng Qing's eyes were shrewd as he asked Feng Qin, “Qin'er, are these your two friends?”
“Old Master Feng,” Yan Jinyu and Xi Fengling said at the same time.
Both of them had trademark smiles on their faces. One was clear and bright, while the other was charming and seductive.
They seemed easy to understand, but they were, in fact, completely unfathomable.
“Grandfather, Grandmother, this is Yan Jinyu. This is Xi Fengling. They're the friends I mentioned to you. Jinyu came to Cloud City for her graduation trip after the college entrance examination. Sister Fengling accompanied her. Their family members didn't want them to stay outside, so they will temporarily stay in the Feng Family.”
“Sorry to disturb you,” Xi Fengling said.
Yan Jinyu stood at the side with a faint smile like an innocent girl who had just graduated from high school.
“Since you're Qin'er's friend, just stay in the Feng Family for the next few days. If you need anything, just tell the butler. You're welcome here. It's the first time Qin'er has brought friends back in all these years,” Old Madam Lu Ping said amiably.
Yes, amiably.
However, Feng Qin knew very well what her nature was.
The Feng Family cared about their reputation the most, and the old lady was best at it.
“We will. Thank you, Old Madam Feng,” Xi Fengling continued.
“You're welcome. Come and sit. The food in the kitchen is almost ready. We can eat in a few minutes. If you're hungry, eat some snacks first.”
The three of them walked over and sat down. Xi Fengling smiled, “Alright, thank you, Old Madam Feng.”
After sizing Xi Fengling up, Feng Hua's gaze landed on Yan Jinyu with a vigilant expression.
Lu Ping looked at Xi Fengling and smiled kindly, “Your name is Xi Fengling, right?”
“Yes.” Even in the Feng Family, Xi Fengling still sat on the sofa with her legs crossed charmingly.
It wasn't that she didn't know manners, but she had never planned to pretend to be obedient in front of the Feng Family. After meeting her biological mother and finding out the truth, she was destined to fall out with the Feng Family.
However, there was no hurry.
Both she and Beauty Yu suspected that Liu Guang might be related to the Feng Family.
At first, they only thought that it was possible. After knowing that Feng Qing's third son was a person that even his biological mother would not step into his courtyard, they were more certain of their previous guess.
There was a high chance that such a strange person was related to Ghost Slaughter Island.
Don't ask them why they could make such a judgment without any basis. If they didn't even have this basic vigilance, they would have wasted their years.
“Where are you from?”
“I'm not very sure about that either. I was an orphan when I was very young and was adopted by my adoptive parents. My adoptive parents are considered people from the capital, but they don't live in the bustling areas of the capital.” This was her fake information. Others wouldn't be able to find anything more if they investigated, unless the other party already knew her identity and knew that her information was fake.
Lu Ping narrowed her eyes. “You are an orphan?”
Then, she looked at her and then at Feng Qin.
Feng Qin's heart skipped a beat.
“Yes, does Old Madam Feng think that I looked very similar to Little Feng Qin?” Without waiting for Lu Ping to reply, she said, “I actually think so too, so I especially hit it off with Little Feng Qin the first time I saw her. I thought we were sisters.”
Ignoring the slight change in Lu Ping's expression, Xi Fengling said, “Actually, I quite hope so too. After all, if that's the case, I'll have a family. The Feng Family is still an influential family. With such a family backing me up, I'll be very respected too.”
“Unfortunately, I asked Little Feng Qin and she said that her mother only gave birth to her. I was indignant and even secretly took Little Feng Qin's hair for an appraisal.”
Feng Qin's heart leaped to her throat as she stared at Xi Fengling.
“And the results?” Lu Ping asked.
Xi Fengling shrugged. “If that's the case, I wouldn't be so calm now. Although I'm a little disappointed, it seems like it's not bad to be friends with Little Feng Qin.”
For a moment, Feng Qin felt like she had lost her soul.
She was stunned.
No?
Not her sister?!
How was this possible? How was this possible!
Yan Jinyu glanced at the dejected Feng Qin and smiled faintly, “Feng Qin, why are you in a daze? Did you not expect Meimei to use your hair for a paternity test?”
“…Yes, yes. I didn't expect that.” She suddenly realized that she had lost her composure.
The Feng Family would suspect her if they found out.
What was she doing just now?
She didn't intend to acknowledge her sister. Even if Sister Feng Ling was really her sister, she was afraid that her sister would be trapped by the Feng Family too.
However, rationality was one thing. Sister Fengling's words had dealt her a huge blow, and she still didn't want to believe them.
Feng Qin exhaled slightly and tried her best to look normal. She smiled shyly at Yan Jinyu and Xi Fengling.
“I really didn't expect Sister Fengling to do such a thing. Actually, when I first saw Sister Fengling, I also suspected that I had a sister and was about to do a paternity test too. Because of this, I specially called my mother to ask. My mother said that she only gave birth to me. I was especially disappointed at that time.”
Yan Jinyu was very satisfied with her performance.
She was a smart person.
She was also a rational and smart person who could control her emotions.
Such a person would not burden Meimei too much after they acknowledged each other in the future.
To Yan Jinyu, Xi Fengling was one of them, but Feng Qin wasn't. All her considerations were prioritized by Xi Fengling.
If Feng Qin was a family member who would drag Xi Fengling down, she wouldn't let Xi Fengling acknowledge her.
They had narrowly escaped death a few times to arrive at where they were today. There was no need to add more trouble to themselves.
“There's nothing to be disappointed about. We're all friends now. I'm older than you. You can treat me as a friend or as an elder sister.”
Feng Qin felt bitter. Even so, it was different.
She still smiled and said, “Sister Fengling is right.”
“I thought I had another granddaughter. I didn't expect that she wasn't. I liked you very much the first time I saw you. I thought you would be a member of the Feng Family,” Lu Ping said regretfully.
“It doesn't matter if she's not from the Feng Family. If we really hit it off, we can get to know each other better,” Feng Qing said.
He looked like he had a good relationship with the Old Madam and was indulging her.
When Lu Ping heard that, she hurriedly said, “Yes, why didn't I think of that!”
“Fengling, how about being my god granddaughter?”
Feng Qin panicked when she heard that.
Others might not know what they were thinking, but how could she not know?
They must have taken a fancy to Sister Fengling's looks and wanted to use her to exchange for benefits!
She quickly shook her head at Xi Fengling.
A sharp glint flashed past Xi Fengling's eyes when she saw Feng Qin's actions.
The Feng Family even wanted to have designs on an outsider. How could they let go of Feng Qin, their own granddaughter?
The Feng Family had offended her!
Perhaps it was because she didn't answer for a long time, her aura suddenly became stronger. Everyone, including Feng Qing, began to size her up.
“Meimei, Old Madam Feng is asking you a question,” Yan Jinyu said at the right time, diverting everyone's attention.
“I'm sorry. I was too surprised to react and embarrassed myself in front of Old Madam.”
“Thank you for your kindness. Can you let me consider it for a few days? I still have to accompany my Beauty Yu to play in Cloud City for a while. I'll consider it properly for the next few days, okay?”
It was good that she did not reject them immediately.
Lu Ping smiled even more kindly. “That's only right. Think about it carefully. I really like you.”
She seemed to be a materialistic person too.
This kind of person was the easiest to control.
There was also a clean girl beside her. She looked outstanding and had a clean temperament. Her eyes were clear and she exuded an innocent aura that was not tainted by the secular world.
Men liked this the most.
Seeing that she was staring at her, Yan Jinyu narrowed her eyes and smiled, “Old Madam Feng, you're looking at me like that. Could it be that you think I like you and want to acknowledge me as your god granddaughter?”
Lu Ping smiled kindly as if she was joking. “If that's the case, are you willing?”
Before Yan Jinyu could reply, three people spoke at the same time.
“Grandmother!”
“Mom!”
“Mom!”
The former was Feng Qin, while the latter was Feng Hua and Lu Yuan.
Feng Qin was already angry that Lu Ping actually had designs on Xi Fengling. She was also worried that Xi Fengling didn't reject her outright. She also found it unbelievable that Lu Ping actually had designs on Yan Jinyu.
Afraid that Yan Jinyu would be angry, she shouted angrily without caring about anything.
