Chapter 1400: The Story of Ling and Heng (663)
So, how did they drive her out of the base?
Thinking back to how Li Nanheng had not returned to the Li family for two years, and then only returned to the Li family occasionally after finding Feng Ling, it was understandable.
Thankfully, this girl was still their grandson’s. If Feng Ling really had no fate with Nanheng, not only would Nanheng have regrets in this life, the few of them would also be extremely regretful.
“…” The Li family’s Third Elder could not tolerate the heavy atmosphere of reminiscing. After considering for a while, he said, “Is Feng Ling really taking care of you alone recently?”
Li Nanheng glanced at him without much focus: “Otherwise, what do you think?”
“This little girl Feng Ling sure is capable. I see that you’re not as thin as when you first returned to America. Your condition seems to be quite good. You’ve grown fat and strong. I think it won’t take long. It’ll be fine after your eyes recover.” The third party glanced at Li Nanheng’s eyes as he spoke.
“Then take a look. Don’t you know who my wife is?” Li Nanheng was not embarrassed at all.
Feng Ling, who was brewing tea next door :”…”
Afterward, the elders finally began the formal round of condolences. They repeatedly asked Li Nanheng if he was still feeling unwell. They even lifted his sleeves and pants to see how his wounds were healing. Looking at the various scars left behind, they sighed incessantly. They complained even more that Li Junyan shouldn’t have thrown his grandson into the base. The Li family only had one grandson. If anything happened to him and he couldn’t be saved, there would be no descendants left.
Feng Ling brewed the tea and placed it in front of the four old men. After nodding politely to them, she felt that it wasn’t right for her to keep avoiding them. Just as she was about to sit down, Second Elder Li directly tugged Li Junyan away from Li Nanheng and gave Feng Ling a look, indicating for her to sit next to Nanheng.
Feng Ling could only sit down.
Earlier, when Feng Ling came out to make tea, she took out a fruit tray. After all, she didn’t know what to bring when she was receiving elders. She just used whatever she had at home. The fruits on the tray were all washed clean by her.
“Feng Ling, come, have an apple.” Fourth Elder Li picked up an apple and handed it to her.
Feng Ling quickly said, “You eat, you eat.”
All of a sudden, Li Nanheng reached over and took the apples from Feng Ling and Fourth Elder Li’s hands. He took a bite without any reservation: “I’ll eat.”
“Tsk, this is an apple for my granddaughter-in-law. Why are you snatching it?” Fourth Elder Li glared at him.
However, Li Nanheng could not see his glare. He held the apple in one hand and said with a smile, “If she doesn’t want to eat, what’s the point of pushing her around? Even if you want to see your granddaughter-in-law, you should give her some time to prepare herself. All of a sudden, all four of you are here. With her character and temper, I can tell how nervous she is right now. You can chat whatever you want. There’s no need to hold her. She can still be more at ease.”
Li Nanheng truly understood Feng Ling’s current state of mind.
She really didn’t know how to deal with such a situation, nor did she know what to say to prevent the four old men from thinking that she was immature.
“When did we pull her away? We saw that she usually takes care of you alone and came to see you. We said we wanted to see you, but we are actually here to see our granddaughter-in-law.” At this moment, Second Elder Li spoke up. Seeing that Li Nanheng was chewing on the apple, he picked up another bunch of grapes from the plate and handed it to Feng Ling. “Come, Feng Ling, eat some grapes. Eating more fruits is good for your health. You can’t just focus on Nanheng alone. You have to take good care of yourself, understand?”
“Thank you, Elder Li…”
Li Junyan sat by the side expressionlessly.
His three younger brothers would only follow him around when he went out to establish his power. Right now, when he needed to coax her granddaughter-in-law, each of them was more useless than the other. There was no need to stuff apple and grapes in.
“Cough, cough.” Li Junyan cleared his throat stiffly and forced himself into the topic. “Feng Ling, if it’s too tiring to take care of Nanheng alone, you don’t have to force yourself. The Li family can send someone to help you.”
“There’s no need. Actually, he doesn’t need me to take care of him most of the time. I don’t even need to support him when he walks around the house. I’m just cooking and tidying up the room. It’s just some daily chores. I don’t need help.”
“Is that so, Nanheng won’t feel sorry for you?”
“There’s no need to feel sorry for me. I volunteered.”
“Willingly…”
Li Junyan immediately glanced at Li Nanheng and saw the faint smile on Li Nanheng’s lips. It was rare for him to hear Feng Ling express her feelings so seriously.
Feng Ling sincerely said, “Elder Li, I’m really willing to take care of him. And the four of you also know that… Nanheng and I have been together for so many years. We’re already used to a lot of our lives. This isn’t completely taking care of him. We’re just accompanying each other.”
The four elders immediately said in unison, “Then why don’t we find a day for you to get married?”
Feng Ling :”…”
“Then,” Li Junyan asked tentatively, “What do your grandparents think now?”
The four elders looked at Feng Ling with bright eyes. Their inner thoughts were that when the Li family married the Feng family’s second daughter, they never expected Feng Ling to be the party involved. Afterward, because of Feng Mingzhu’s matter, the Feng and Li families more or less had some conflicts. The two families were not close to each other and almost broke off their daily interactions.
