She Lives without Regret in This Life

After both parties were seated, everyone introduced themselves to each other. The focus of this trip was Su Hai, and the family reunion created a harmonious atmosphere. Feng Xintong sat shyly in a corner, appearing to have no presence.

Yet her delicate mixed-race features were truly hard to ignore.

Su Hai also noticed something different; everyone present was Asian, except for her, who was of mixed race. As far as he knew, mixed-race individuals in the Feng Family held a very low status, without any rights to inheritance or voice.

He gave Mr. Feng a meaningful glance, and their eyes met. Like old foxes, they understood each other without needing words, as certain things were better left unspoken but understood.

During lunch, the group moved from the living room to the study, where serious matters could be discussed.

Sheng Ning’s purpose for coming today was to lay her cards on the table.

”Uncle Grandfather,” Sheng Ning sat on a single sofa, with a cup of authentic Sri Lankan red tea placed before her. Smelling the rich tea aroma, she calmly said, ”I want to have a talk with you.”

Mr. Feng smiled with satisfaction. He had been waiting for Sheng Ning to bring up the matter herself. Whoever initiates means they lose in this game.

”I want to talk about our return to the country.” She smiled with intrigue.

Mr. Feng’s slight surprise was accurately captured by her. Did he want her to initiate? She refused!

”Return to the country!” Mr. Feng could no longer hold his composure as Ningning was about to leave, and he couldn’t stop her anymore. Today, having Su Hai and Xu Qigang seated beside her was the biggest deterrence against him.

Xu Qigang and Su Hai, one in the light and the other in the dark, both using ruthless methods, especially Xu Qigang, who wiped out everyone that had hurt or kidnapped her without leaving a trace.

This was also an intimidation to him.

He had no choice but to endure.

If force wasn’t an option, he could only try a softer approach. Ningning was a grateful child; she owed him a favor, and she would certainly repay it.

”You are now already our Family Head. If you wish to return, you must wait until the situation stabilizes.”

Mr. Feng spoke straightforwardly.

”Uncle Grandfather, why did you choose me?” This was something Sheng Ning had never understood. ”Is it just because I look like Grandma?”

”That’s one of the reasons.” Mr. Feng pursed his lips, clearly not wanting to elaborate. He firmly said, ”Ningning, you are my chosen heir, and after rigorous tests, you are the only one who can be the Family Head.”

”Tests?” She was shocked, covering her mouth, looking at him in disbelief. The memory of her visit to the Davis family flashed through her mind.

Could it be what she thought?

No way.

Absolutely not.

It surely must be overthinking; Uncle Grandfather was not like that person, definitely not.

”Xiao Ning, Xiao Ning, are you okay?” Xu Qigang sensed her emotional fluctuation, tightly clutching her hand, transmitting warmth and strength through his burning palm.

”Are you cold?” His brow furrowed, eyes swirling with murderous intent.

There’s an old saying: a general’s success is built on the bones of countless soldiers, applicable to Xu Qigang. So when he didn’t conceal his murderous intent, the entire study was shrouded in a suffocating low pressure.

Mr. Feng, who was initially calm, suddenly twitched, his face quickly turning pale. Housekeeper Xing noticed and wanted to step forward but was directly stopped by Mr. Feng.
