She Lives without Regret in This Life

Chapter 1287: Chapter 1357: Whetstone

”What? You can’t even remember your grandfather’s name?” The old man leisurely toyed with a nose snuff bottle on the table, asking in an unchanging tone.

”It’s Su... Su Dashan.” Qin Cuifen, in a panic, randomly made one up.

Mr. Feng burst into laughter immediately. She didn’t even know her own grandfather’s name; Su Dashan indeed. If his brother-in-law really had such an unpleasant name, he would have been turned away the first time he met his sister.

”Alright, I understand.” Mr. Feng pondered for a moment before saying, ”Your grandfather and I were friends from noble families, and now that you’ve been helped to this place by bad people and met me, I’ll naturally help you return to your country. Before you go back, treat this place as your home.”

”I... I don’t want to...” Qin Cuifen originally wanted to say she didn’t want to return to her country, but if she said that, her cover would be blown. She had to hold it back; it didn’t matter as long as she would stay without leaving later.

”Alright, thank you very much.”

”You’re welcome. Just call me Grandpa from now on,” Mr. Feng said kindly.

Qin Cuifen’s eyes lit up; she truly hadn’t expected to have such good luck this time. Hahaha... She really wanted to burst out laughing. Sheng Ning, you damn wretch, you ran off and got her beaten, didn’t you expect this?

She managed to seize an advantage, taking your place. Humph humph humph... You ran away, good, just die out there and never appear again. If you dare show up, I’ll take your life.

”Have Housekeeper Ni arrange it, and put her in the room next to Zhenzhen.”

”Yes!”

Housekeeper Xing handed Qin Cuifen over to Housekeeper Ni, just as those who had been left to monitor Julian and interrogate Doctor Bill before had returned.

”Housekeeper Xing, we’ve already found out.”

”How is it? Speak.”

”The owner of the necklace is a pregnant woman. She gave the necklace to Bill in exchange for expensive fertility medicine at the time.”

”Julian deceived us. That woman has already escaped, and he’s currently searching for her worldwide.”

”Alright, I understand. Keep an eye on Julian for me and report any incidents immediately.” After dismissing the person, Housekeeper Xing returned to Mr. Feng’s study and saw that the old gentleman was staring in a daze at the Mithril necklace in his hand.

Feng Jianxi was very efficient; he returned the Mithril necklace on the same day. The necklace, freshly polished, exuded a radiant sheen.

”I originally wanted to use the necklace to test it, but it ended up being unnecessary.” The old gentleman sighed.

”Sir, the investigation reports that the true owner of the necklace is a pregnant woman, now about five months along. She escaped at the scene where the traffickers were selling her.”

”Hmm!” The old gentleman nodded, ”This is exactly what a descendant of a noble family should do.”

”Well...” Housekeeper Xing hesitated before he finally said, ”Since you’ve already seen through that liar’s deception, why still leave her here?”

Such a scheming liar should be sentenced to death on the spot.

”Zhenzhen, this girl, has been spoiled by me and is too naive. She needs a grindstone.”

Housekeeper Xing understood, ”Sir, I understand.”

”Go! Find the owner of the necklace. If she is a descendant of my sister, treat her kindly.”

”I will, please rest assured.”

On the streets of the Queen’s District, bars line the sidewalks, and drunks and dancers can be seen every day. Recently, late at night just before closing time, a large and a small figure could be seen on the ground and in trash heaps picking up wine bottles.
