Chapter 1249: The Story of Ling and Heng (512)
Since she was born, she had never been slapped by her mother. This sudden slap caused Feng Mingzhu to stagger backward. She then looked at her grandfather and grandmother who had suddenly raised their eyes to look at her. She saw the agitation in their eyes and a flash of surprise.
“Mingzhu already knew?” Grandfather Feng’s hands trembled as he held the documents, but his voice was directed at Feng Mingzhu. “You… this… why didn’t you tell me?”
Feng Mingzhu bit her lip hard and watched them coldly.
Qin Qiu was so angry that she clutched her chest and sat on the sofa. Madam Feng was still very agitated. She kept staring at the girl in the photo and then raised her eyes to look at them. “Where is this child now? Where is she?”
However, Grandfather Feng lowered his head to continue reading the documents in his hands. He said, “There are some documents here. Her name is Feng Ling. Is this… XI Base?”
Grandfather Feng paused and asked in surprise, “She’s at Li Nanheng’s place?”
The two old people kept looking at the documents as if they couldn’t wait to turn a dead person into a living person in front of them. After reading all the documents, Elder Feng could no longer maintain his composure. He asked Qin Qiu anxiously, “Xiao Qiu, have you met this child?”
Qin Qiu’s anger eased a little. She moved her hand away from her chest and said softly, “It’s a coincidence. When I accompanied my mother out to buy things, my mother’s bag was snatched away by a robber. It was this child, Feng Ling, who happened to pass by and snatched the bag back. Just like that, we met for the first time…”
Qin Qiu briefly told him what had happened and then said, “At first, I didn’t think much about it when I found out that her surname was Feng, but when I guessed that she might be my daughter, I remembered the small jade pendant she had been wearing since she was born. It was engraved with the word ‘Feng.’ I think someone gave her this surname because of her jade pendant.”
The more she listened, the more excited she became. Even though it was already dark outside, she still turned her head to look outside. As she watched, she held her old man’s hand tightly. “Old man, let’s go, let’s go see her. Let’s go and bring our little granddaughter back…”
Hearing that they were about to bring her back, Feng Mingzhu looked at them angrily. “Bring her back? Are you sure you want to bring her back? We don’t even know if she wants to return to the Feng family. Are you going to pick her up?”
Sensing Feng Mingzhu’s anger, the two elders of the Feng family looked at her again. Grandfather Feng looked at her. “Mingzhu, what exactly are you angry about? That’s your sister, your biological sister. When you were young, you heard that your little sister fell into the sea. Didn’t you cry at that time? Don’t you remember that you often kissed her when you were young? We are related by blood. Why did you…”
Feng Mingzhu sneered. “If you were me, would you be happy?”
Grandfather Feng paused and looked at her. After all, she was his granddaughter. No matter how many unreasonable things she had done, he would never think of her as an unreasonable person. He didn’t know how sensitive she was at this moment. He just looked at her and couldn’t understand why she looked so determined as if she would cut off all ties with the Feng family if they dared to bring Feng Ling back.
“Enough, do you still want the whole family to see your dark thoughts?” Qin Qiu suddenly scolded her and turned to glare at Feng Mingzhu. “Go back to your room alone! Think carefully about where you went wrong!”
“I was wrong?” The palm print on Feng Mingzhu’s face was still there. She chuckled slowly, but her voice was cold and her voice was sharp and full of anger. “Mom, the one who threw her child into the sea was not me. You are the Feng family’s sinner, not me! Why should I be wrong? What did I do wrong?!”
Qin Qiu’s face turned pale at her words. She looked at her eldest daughter in disbelief.
“Scoundrel! What nonsense are you talking about?” Grandfather Feng suddenly raged. “Mingzhu! Apologize to your mother!”
Feng Mingzhu didn’t speak. She just looked at the pale-faced Qin Qiu, then at the old lady who couldn’t conceal her nervousness and excitement because of the news about her granddaughter, and then at Grandfather Feng who was glaring at her.
Look, look.
She only found out that her sister was still alive.
Right now, the whole family was about to gang up on her.
If Feng Ling was really brought back one day, she would be given half of the Feng family’s young lady’s name, and everything that belonged to her since she was a child would be taken away by the person who should have died early. Perhaps they would compensate her with more things because of their guilt toward Feng Ling, and perhaps even make her, the elder sister, give in to her and endure some grievances.
In short, as long as Feng Ling lived in this world, it would be a devastating blow to her.
“I asked you to apologize? Why are you still glaring at me?” Grandfather Feng finally saw the seriousness of the matter from Feng Mingzhu’s resentful expression. He narrowed his eyes and said, “Earlier… your mother said that you already knew? Did you investigate the DNA and information yourself? You didn’t tell anyone after knowing the results? You… don’t want your sister to come back?”
Madam Feng looked at her in disbelief. “Mingzhu, how could you bear to let your sister live outside? Why didn’t you tell me?”
“Why didn’t you say so?” Feng Mingzhu opened her mouth but stood there quietly. Her eyes were a bit empty, and her voice was flat and emotionless. Only the corner of her lips showed a hint of a cold smile that was almost imperceptible, but it also flashed past. “Yes, why didn’t I say… What am I afraid of?”
Qin Qiu looked at her hurt expression. Although she was angry, she couldn’t bear for her to be stuck in this dilemma. She frowned and said, “Mingzhu, you’re no longer a child. You know the truth. You’ve all grown up. Even if Feng Ling returns to the Feng family, no one will fight with you for the love of your elders. Besides, you know how the Feng family does things. Even if she returns, the family won’t be biased! You’re still the Feng family’s beloved daughter! Everything you want still belongs to you. Let go of the knot in your heart. No matter if she is willing to come back or not, you have to get along well with her, okay?”
“Sure.” Feng Mingzhu lifted her chin slightly, her eyes still unclear. “If she really comes back, I’ll definitely get along well with her.”
