The Strongest Dandy in the City-Chapter 263 Broken Heart

Under the endless night.

Ye Chenfeng held Wang Feifei’s hand as they left Yun City First Middle School. Ye Chenfeng did not speak, nor did Wang Feifei. They walked in silence on the streets one after the other.

Wang Feifei had no idea why she had followed Ye Chenfeng out. What if Ye Chenfeng was a bad person? Though her mind was filled with countless thoughts, she never pulled her hand away from Ye Chenfeng’s grasp.

"Let’s sit at your place for a while! Your grandfather sent me to find you. He’s the one who runs a wonton stall," Ye Chenfeng said, breaking the silence as it wasn’t getting them anywhere.

"My grandfather sent you to find me? Did something happen to him?" Wang Feifei’s face immediately tensed up. She had just started her senior year two days before and lived at the school. She knew that unless it was something very important, her grandfather would not come to her.

"First, let’s go to your place. Don’t worry, I’m not a human trafficker. Once we’re at your house, you’ll know what happened," Ye Chenfeng said, sensing the suspicion on Wang Feifei’s face.

Hearing Ye Chenfeng say this, Wang Feifei felt an ominous premonition and, indeed, a woman’s sixth sense is often very accurate. A look of unease thickened on her cheeks, "Has something happened to my grandfather?"

Ye Chenfeng silently nodded. Wang Feifei would eventually find out the truth, so it was better to prepare her mentally sooner rather than later.

Seeing Ye Chenfeng’s nod, Wang Feifei’s complexion completely changed. She hurriedly broke free from Ye Chenfeng’s hand and hailed a taxi by the roadside. Ye Chenfeng also followed her into the taxi.

Wang Feifei’s home was located in a run-down bungalow area, where most of Yun City’s lower-class citizens lived. The rent was extremely cheap, only about four or five hundred yuan a month.

By the time Ye Chenfeng and Wang Feifei arrived at the bungalow area, there were four or five men standing at the entrance to Wang Feifei’s home. By the dim light from the roadside, one could see a stretcher with a white cloth draped over it on the ground.

"Young lady, Feifei, the hospital couldn’t save old Wang in the end. Feifei, be strong and accept the inevitable. If you need any help, just ask. We won’t disturb you any further today."

The four or five men at Wang Feifei’s doorstep were stallholders from the same street as Wang Feifei’s grandfather. They had been waiting at the door of Wang Feifei’s home for quite a long time; they too lived in this bungalow area.

Bang! Bang! Bang! fгee𝑤ebɳoveɭ.cøm

Upon hearing this, Wang Feifei’s mind exploded. Her eyes became lost, she shook her head incessantly, and murmured, "Impossible, impossible. Grandpa can’t leave me, he can’t abandon me, absolutely not."

Even after being slapped in public by Kong Ling just before, Wang Feifei managed to hold herself upright and strong. But at this moment, her emotions completely collapsed. She slumped to the ground, her body shaking uncontrollably and her eyes growing redder and more swollen. She couldn’t believe it was true; she didn’t want to believe it was true.

"Before your grandfather passed away, he asked me to look after you until you graduated from college, and I promised him. I will keep that promise," Ye Chenfeng said, not knowing how to comfort Wang Feifei.

Wang Feifei’s tears finally burst forth, her limp body moving slowly toward the stretcher.

Ye Chenfeng did not try to help Wang Feifei stand up. He knew that right now, she needed to walk through her grief on her own. No one else could help her; it was all up to her.

After a great deal of effort, Wang Feifei’s body moved in front of the stretcher. Her tears never stopped flowing. She reached out with a trembling right hand, wanting to lift the white cloth, but she lacked the courage. She was afraid to face the reality.

Wang Feifei hesitated for a full half-hour, during which time Ye Chenfeng simply watched quietly from the side. Finally, Wang Feifei’s hand fell, gripping the white cloth, and gently, she lifted it. To Wang Feifei, it felt as heavy as a mountain, and it took a lot of effort to pull it back.

When Wang Feifei saw the familiar, aged face beneath the white cloth, tears completely breached the dams of her eyes, and from her throat came a sorrowful chant, "Grandpa, grandpa, you haven’t even lived in the apartment Feifei bought for you! How could you bear to leave Feifei all alone? Grandpa, please wake up, please wake up, I know you’re just sleeping."

Wang Feifei’s crying grew more intense, and slowly, her eyes could no longer produce tears, her head became very dizzy, and then, everything went black as she fainted from excessive grief.

Ye Chenfeng walked up to Wang Feifei, crouched down, and gathered her delicate body into his arms, his gentle Soul Force slowly penetrating into Wang Feifei’s body. In a short while, she came to from her faint.

Wang Feifei blankly stared at the dark night sky, her expression like still water. For all these years, she had striven to give her grandfather, her sole kin, a better life, to make him proud of her, and so she had studied so hard, maintaining her stubborn pride and backbone at all times. Now that her grandfather had departed, what use were these things to her?

Looking at the pitiable Wang Feifei in his arms, Ye Chenfeng unconsciously held her tighter, "I think your grandfather definitely wouldn’t want to see you like this; he was still worrying about you before he died! He surely hopes you can live on happily. Do you want to disappoint him?"

A hint of clarity returned to Wang Feifei’s vacant eyes as she asked with a hoarse voice, "How did my grandfather die?"

"He was killed by some thugs, but I’ve avenged your grandfather. Those who laid hands on your grandfather, I’ve killed them all," Ye Chenfeng said with a touch of melancholy.

Wang Feifei was silent again, unsure whether to believe Ye Chenfeng’s words or..., but being held in Ye Chenfeng’s arms, her emotions calmed down.

"What are your plans for the future? Will you stay in Yun City, or come back to Tianhai with me? I can help arrange for you to go to school in Tianhai," Ye Chenfeng asked.

Wang Feifei shook her head blankly and replied, "I don’t know, where do I go from here? My grandfather was my drive to live on stubbornly. I wanted to earn a lot of money to give him a good life, but I never expected..."

"Actually, I’m not really his biological granddaughter. I was adopted from an orphanage by my grandfather, who never married. Maybe he felt lonely, so he took me in, but throughout the years, he’s always treated me as his own. I can never repay my grandfather’s kindness in this lifetime. Why didn’t he give me a chance to properly honor him?"

"Every time I saw him working hard at his wonton stand, my heart felt incredibly distressed. If he hadn’t adopted me back then, he wouldn’t have had to work so hard. Why did he do this? For someone who wasn’t even blood-related to him, was it worth it?"

Wang Feifei mumbled on, her heart completely shattered, shattered beyond repair.

This strong-willed, proud girl had, at this moment, lost her reason for living with her spine held straight.

The night was deepening, and the streetlight flickered on and off. Ye Chenfeng held Wang Feifei’s delicate body, and the two were silent for about an hour.

Ye Chenfeng felt the helplessness and sorrow in Wang Feifei’s heart at this moment. The old saying "a good person will receive good rewards," is nothing but nonsense to fool children. In this world, everything depends on strength. If you are strong, even if you commit many bad deeds, you can still live safely and soundly.

On the contrary, if you are weak, no matter how good you are, if someone strong dislikes you, they can easily wipe you out.

Therefore, Ye Chenfeng never believed in such nonsense as "a good person will receive good rewards." He only believed in his own fists, knowing that only by continuously enhancing his strength, no one would dare step on his head. (To be continued.
