Reborn as a Weak Beauty Pampered by All

Chapter 316: Chapter 316: A bit familiar, he seems to have heard it somewhere before... 

Wang Xiaobo opened Old Master Feng’s work permit and was truly shocked. He never expected he, a small-time police officer at the local station, would have a chance to meet such an important figure.

Standing at attention and then at ease, Wang Xiaobo saluted Old Master Feng. Then, he recited Mo Yan’s home address and, with a glimmer of struggle in his eyes, he spoke Kang Li’s name.

”They both refer to Comrade Kang Li as ’older sister,’ and Comrade Kang Li is also very kind to them. They seem very familiar with each other. Thanks to Comrade Kang Li providing a clue, we were able to clear up the matter in a very short time. Please, would you like me to take you to Comrade Mo Yan’s house now?”

Wang Xiaobo had not been on the job long, but his own home was in this area. When it came to familiarity with the west side of town, naturally, he was second to none.

Old Master Feng asked, ”Will this not delay your work?”

Wang Xiaobo replied, ”I will go inform the station chief.” With that, Wang Xiaobo turned and walked back into the station.

Watching his retreating figure, Old Master Feng began to ponder over a name.

Kang Li?

It sounded familiar. He seemed to have heard it somewhere...

Suddenly, Old Master Feng remembered: Old Song’s goddaughter seemed to be named Kang Li. Could it be that young girl?

...

In the courtyard of Mo Yan’s house, Feng Yi stood in the center, expressionlessly looking at the father who had given him life but had never cared for him. At the same time, he glanced at Wang Xiaobo but deliberately avoided looking at He Xue, the woman he despised deeply.

He had considered the possibility that He Xue might tell the Feng family about seeing him; after all, from what she said before getting in the car that day, it was easy to predict what she would do next. But he never expected the Feng family, his father by blood, to personally find his way here, nor did he anticipate Officer Wang’s involvement.

”You’ve caused enough trouble. Isn’t it time you came back?” Father and son locked eyes for a long while. It wasn’t until today that Old Master Feng felt he truly understood his son, Feng Yi.

Stubborn! And not just a little bit stubborn!

Facing his father’s gaze for a long while, he didn’t even blink an eye.

Clearly, the brat had no intention of bending the knee to him.

Old Master Feng’s feelings were complex. He admitted to himself that he had not shown enough concern for this son, acknowledged that for many years... his attention had been on the children his ex-wife had left behind, and recognized that he had married Fang Su mainly for her looks... As for learning about Fang Su’s pregnancy, he might have been pleased then!

But too much time had passed, and he could no longer recall those feelings.

What he was sure of, though, was from the moment Feng Yi was born, apart from knowing he had another son, there seemed to have been no other ripples in his heart for over a decade.

Perhaps it was because of this reason, he felt a bit guilty toward his son, Feng Yi, which explained why he made the effort to come here in person today.

In fact, if it were not for Feng Xiao’s words that day, Old Master Feng might not have made this trip.

”I don’t understand what you, the old comrade, are trying to say.”

The tone in Feng Yi’s voice remained flat.

”The words your mother spoke that day were said in anger. Why did you take them to heart, and why did you leave home without any thought of coming back?”

Old Master Feng frowned, ”There’s a common saying: There is no overnight resentment between mother and child. Even if your mother has many faults, she did give birth to you after all. Are you really holding a grudge against her, not recognizing us as your parents for the rest of your life?”

Feng Yi laughed, but the laughter looked as much like crying: ”Parents? What kind of parents are you to me? You brought me into this world but never cared for me, allowing me to be bullied by my brothers and your most beloved daughter. You are a family, and I am the superfluous one. Tell me, am I wrong?”
