She Lives without Regret in This Life

Chapter 1839: Chapter 1918: Standing Is Fine

Xu Qigang greeted the man supporting Li Bin, ”Hello, Uncle Li.”

”No need to be so polite, no need to be so polite.” Mr. Li rubbed his hands excitedly, so nervous he didn’t even know what to say. Though he was a man of unquestioned authority in Liyang County, in front of these people he really didn’t amount to much.

Xu Qigang was already the pride of their Liyang County.

”President Xu, you’re the pride of our Liyang County now. This time it’s all thanks to your help, otherwise my son’s leg really would’ve been crippled for life.”

”Uncle, don’t thank me, it’s mainly my wife’s credit. If you want to thank someone, thank her.” The moment he mentioned his wife, the corners of a certain someone’s mouth curled up.

Li Bin was directly arranged to stay in the hospital, with the surgery scheduled for three days later. For convenience in taking care of him, Mr. Li stayed in the ward as well. During this period, Sheng Ning came to see Li Bin once, and asked his permission to make a publicity piece using his case for the charity fund.

She had led the charity fund in the early stage, and later handed it over entirely to Feng Kai, who had just returned to the country.

That evening at the family dinner, Feng Kai sat at the end of the table with his heart in his throat, carefully watching everyone seated there.

Anyone who came out of the Feng Family was particularly good at reading faces and moods; Feng Kai was no exception. On top of that, Feng Xintong had taken advantage of Mr. Feng’s death to force him to grow up overnight.

His features still carried traces of youthfulness, but the expression in his brows and eyes was already as detached as Feng Zhenzhen’s.

While eating, Sheng Ning unobtrusively observed Feng Kai, thinking about Housekeeper Xing’s evaluation of him. She’d heard he managed the vast Feng Manor very well, worthy of being called ruthless and tough.

Thinking of this, she couldn’t help sighing. She’d despised the Feng Family’s way of educating children countless times; all they produced were freaks, not a single normal one.

There were quite a few people living in the villa, ten from the two families combined. The four elders sat in the front seats, behind them were Xu Qigang and his wife, and behind them were Qin Yue and An’an. The older twin sat in a high chair beside Sheng Ning, and the younger twin sat in a high chair beside Xu Qigang.

Feng Kai quietly memorized everyone’s expressions and seating positions. After one round of looking, a shadow fell over his heart, because it seemed like every member of the Family Head’s family was formidable. He was very worried about whether he might be kicked out.

The Family Head’s son and daughter seemed really cute.

”Eat, eat.” The younger sister was much more slow than the older brother in speaking and walking. Maybe she’d noticed someone looking at her, so she waved the spoon in her hand toward Feng Kai and smiled, showing a tiny millet tooth.

”Xiao Kai.” After finishing eating, Sheng Ning put down her chopsticks and called softly.

”Yes, Family Head.” Feng Kai shot to his feet like lightning, bending at the waist and answering with utmost respect.

Everyone at the table had a different expression, but no one spoke. Zhao Lanzi’s face was full of sympathy, but they wouldn’t interfere in their daughter‑in‑law’s affairs. During this period living in the villa, everything had been thoughtful in all respects, and also very free.

They had more or less gained an understanding of their daughter‑in‑law’s capabilities.

”Come with me to the study.” Seeing Feng Kai’s behavior, a trace of anger showed on Sheng Ning’s face. She turned and headed toward the study. Feng Kai followed closely behind. Once they entered the study, Sheng Ning sat down and said, ”Don’t just stand there like an idiot. Sit down.”

”Family Head, I’m fine standing.”

”I told you to sit.” Sheng Ning suddenly raised her voice, frightening Feng Kai into sitting down respectfully at once.

She forced down the anger in her heart and tried to speak calmly: ”I heard from Housekeeper Xing that you’ve been managing Feng Manor very well?”

”Thank you, Housekeeper Xing, for the praise. I’m just doing what I know how to do.” This boy’s premature maturity really made one’s heart ache, especially since he’d become grown‑up overnight.
