"Let’s hope so."

Kang Li replied to Feng Wei, then said to Mrs. Qi, "Godmother, let’s go back."

Mrs. Qi nodded.

Kang Li beckoned Min Rui to follow, and the three got into the car. Through the half-open window, Kang Li looked toward the door of the living room and saw Ming Wei avoid her gaze, finding it somewhat amusing.

"Vivi, Mom’s heading back now. If you miss home, call Mom, and I’ll come to pick you up." She waved to the little girl and then looked away.

Han Qian watched Kang Li and Ming Wei talking; when she embraced Ming Wei, she kept watching the two. She envied Ming Wei, and not just a little—it was a deep jealousy.

Having such a wonderful stepmother, who loves more genuinely than a real mom, yet not cherishing it and running to be with that so-so real mom instead—has Luo Mingwei lost her mind?

Aunt Kang was Teacher Lizi, during her preschool days she loved listening to "Teacher Lizi Tells Stories."

Her soft voice, carrying a smile and weaving stories beautifully, made sure whenever she watched TV and heard Teacher Lizi tell stories, she was very attentive.

Back then, she used to think how wonderful it would be if Teacher Lizi was her mom.

Beautiful like a little fairy, with a voice that feels warm like sunshine when she smiles, and singing as delightful as a nightingale, yet such a great Teacher Lizi was Luo Mingwei’s stepmother.

Perhaps precisely because of the jealousy, she always contradicted Luo Mingwei and couldn’t play along with her.

Now, almost seven or eight years have passed since preschool days, and in her eyes, Luo Mingwei is increasingly annoying, especially now, showing no sense.

Hmph! Isn’t she supposed to stay at her house? Very well, she’ll let Luo Mingwei know what regret means!

Han Qian hid the jealousy in her eyes and made up her mind; Luo Mingwei won’t have it easy at her house.

"Big Brother, just say what you want."

Leading Feng Wei to the study upstairs, Feng Lu looked quite casual.

"Running back to the country without telling the family, if not for today’s unexpected news, were you planning never to contact the family until your death?"

Feng Wei’s face darkened. "Speak up, what’s going on between you and Hu Yi, and why did you bring that child to live with you?"

"Hu Yi? What could possibly be between him and me? A despicable, shameless man—I find him disgusting just to see. As for wanting Ming Wei to stay with me, there’s no reason, I just want my daughter to live with me—is that not okay?"

"Have you ever taken even a day’s responsibility as a mother to that child?"

"No, but she is my birth child!"

"You sure have a thick skin."

"Big Brother, you don’t have to mock me like this. Ultimately, I’m the real mom of Luo Mingwei and her siblings, that’s an undeniable fact."

"..."

Feng Lu’s expression changed drastically as soon as she saw Feng Wei, until Feng Wei stood in front of her, she finally opened her mouth and called out "Big Brother."

"Godmother, you..."

Kang Li was puzzled, not knowing how Mrs. Qi found this place.

"With the license plate number, Xiao Feng found out the car owner, and that’s how we came here," Mrs. Qi explained to Kang Li, immediately introducing Feng Wei: "This is the eldest son of your Uncle Feng’s family, you can call him Big Brother Feng."

Indeed, Mrs. Qi was worried about Ming Wei, and concerned about Kang Li and Min Rui, which prompted her to call the Feng family, coincidentally, this call was answered by Feng Wei.

She briefly explained the situation of Feng Lu taking Ming Wei away, and reported the license plate number of the black sedan Feng Lu took with Ming Wei. Shortly after, Feng Wei replied the car was registered under Han Bin.

And Han Bin, Feng Wei certainly knows him well.

They used to live in the same compound. Han Bin is in foreign trade, quite known in North City, plus Feng Wei’s current workplace manages foreign trade, therefore, upon learning that Feng Lu brought Ming Wei in a car under Han Bin’s name, he immediately thought his sister probably is with Han Bin.

Is Feng Wei angry?

The answer is definitely yes.

He didn’t expect Feng Lu would sneak back to the country, nor did he expect that Feng Lu would not contact the family after returning. If it hadn’t been for Hu Yi’s call from abroad, Feng Wei and the entire Feng family would still guess that Feng Lu was abroad.

Yet, what left Feng Wei helpless was that even after receiving Hu Yi’s call, utilizing his connections, he couldn’t locate Feng Lu; he even went to Shuimu University to ask Xiao Shen, only to receive Xiao Shen’s response that Feng Lu hadn’t approached him.
