Chapter 164: Chapter 164 Disgust Mrs. Qi: "What do you think?" Director Song: "You’re not referring to Old Feng’s partner, are you?" "Partner? They did love, but they pitied Feng Yi, that child." Mrs. Qi’s eyes brimmed with sarcasm, "Being a stepmother is tough, sure, but Fang Su couldn’t just cling to her husband’s affections, devoting all her attention to her stepchildren and treating her own flesh and blood like grass. Isn’t Feng Yi the child of her man too?" "Why bother with someone else’s business?" Director Song sighed helplessly, "I know the kid, Feng Yi, is pitiable, but if his own parents don’t cherish him, what can we outsiders do? Besides, there’s no solid proof that Old Feng’s family’s Xiao Si did it, and it was Fang Su herself who confessed that it was Feng Yi who hurt the person..." "It’s precisely because Fang Su is heartless, letting her own son take the blame for her stepson Feng Xiao, that I despise her! And don’t forget the relationship between the Feng family and Little Luo. Is it really appropriate for you to invite them to our house?" "Whether or not Feng Yi is taking the blame, we have no evidence and can’t talk nonsense. As for inviting Feng Lin, that old kid over, you know as well as I do the close bond I share with him. If I didn’t invite him, and he heard about it from someone else, how am I supposed to face him?" "You and your pride." "Fangfang, this really isn’t about pride. It’s about my relationship with Old Feng. Now, we’re about to recognize a goddaughter, which is a big event. We can skip hosting a dinner, but if we do host one, it’s only right to invite Old Feng." Hearing Director Song speak this way, Mrs. Qi snorted coldly and said, "Then you explain to me, ever since Feng Lu lost Hanhan and Vivi in childbirth and died, why have the Fengs acted as if they’ve forgotten about Ruirui and the others? Have they come to see them even once in these two or three years?" Under Mrs. Qi’s unblinking gaze, Director Song’s eyes dodged involuntarily as he said, "It might be misdirected anger. After all, it is well-known how much Old Feng adored his daughter, and Feng Lu’s untimely death at such a young age left him angry. Cutting off ties with Little Luo is a bit much, but it’s not incomprehensible." "Bullshit!" Mrs. Qi burst out, "Childbirth is always a life-and-death ordeal. Accidents are the last thing anybody wants. Plus, Feng Lu fell while she was pregnant because of her own doing, and it happened right at the Feng family’s place. What gives him the right to take it out on the children?" At a loss for words, Director Song fell silent. "Nothing to say now, huh?" Mrs. Qi glared at Director Song, "First thing tomorrow morning, you call the Fengs and tell them that I, Qi Fang, do not welcome them into our home." Director Song: "I can’t make that call." Mrs. Qi: "If you won’t, I will." The Feng family, mentioned by Mrs. Qi and Director Song, happens to be the maternal family of the three Ruirui siblings. Feng Lu was the only daughter among the five Feng children, a little princess from childhood. She had two older brothers from the same mother and two younger brothers, one from the same mother and one from a different mother. 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝔀𝓮𝒃𝙣𝓸𝒗𝒆𝒍.𝙘𝒐𝒎 Feng Yi, Feng Lu’s half-brother. Once a youth in his prime, he had been taken away by the police from home for accidentally injuring someone in March of this year and was now undergoing reformation through labor on a farm near North City. Whether Feng Yi had truly accidentally harmed someone or was taking the blame for his older stepbrother, who was six or seven years his senior, was unknown to outsiders. The next morning, Mrs. Qi did as she had said, completely ignoring Director Song’s glaring, she found the landline number for the Fengs and dialed it.
