The Atypical Young Lady Has Returned

Chapter 375 - Investigating Her Background



Chapter 375: Investigating Her Background

“Yes, I’m here to travel anyway. Of course, I can’t stay here forever.”

After Yan Jinyu finished speaking, Xi Fengling continued, “However, before that, I still have something to say. To be precise, I have something to ask Auntie.”

She was looking at Feng Xiangxiang when she said this.

His expression was serious and grave.

Feng Xiangxiang and Feng Qin were stunned.

Could their guess be right?

She was really the person they were looking for and she already knew her background. Did she come to the Feng Family specially to investigate?

“W-What do you want to know? Just ask.” Feng Xiangxiang tugged at the corner of her shirt tightly.

Xi Fengling was not much calmer than her. She did not sit seductively with her legs crossed like usual. Instead, she sat with her legs crossed and her hands on her lap.

However, if one looked closely, they would realize that her hands on her lap had already subconsciously clenched into fists.

Xi Fengling didn’t speak immediately. Instead, she looked at Yan Jinyu, who was sitting beside her.

Receiving her gaze, Yan Jinyu smiled and nodded.

This was the first time she had seen Meimei so nervous that she was at a loss after knowing her for so many years.

Xi Fengling’s condition finally improved.

She took out something from her bag and handed it to Feng Xiangxiang. “Auntie, take a look at this first.”

Feng Xiangxiang and Feng Qin looked at the things she handed over at the same time.

Feng Xiangxiang took it hesitantly.

One of them looked like a letter; the other looked like a document.

“This is…”

“Auntie, you’ll know when you open it.” For some reason, after passing the thing to Feng Xiangxiang, most of the emotions in Xi Fengling’s heart dissipated.

Feng Xiangxiang opened the letter first.

She saw the words on it as soon as she opened it.

However, before she could read the content, Feng Xiangxiang’s expression changed. Without any warning, her hands trembled and her tears fell.

Seeing her like this, Feng Qin hurriedly asked worriedly, “Mom, what are you doing?”

She was not stupid. Seeing her mother like this, she had actually roughly guessed it. It was just that she did not dare to confirm it. She was afraid that she was thinking too much. In the end, it was not what she thought. It would only increase her disappointment.

“T-this is your father’s handwriting! Qin’er, this is your father’s handwriting! Your father wrote this letter!”

“Xi Fengling… Xi Fengling… Your father gave you this name. He gave it to you…” Feng Xiangxiang was already crying.

She wanted to reach out to hold Xi Fengling, but she stopped herself when she thought of something.

“You…”

She wanted to say something, but she quickly looked around warily, afraid that the two servants would hear her.

Seeing her worry, Yan Jinyu said at the right time, “Auntie, you can rest assured. One of those two people fainted, and the other is in the courtyard and doesn’t dare to approach. No one will hear what we’re saying here.” Otherwise, Meimei wouldn’t have taken out the things just like that.

Feng Qin was worried, so she got up and closed the door. Yan Jinyu didn’t stop her.

As Feng Qin turned to close the door, Xi Fengling said, “Auntie, you should finish what I gave you first. We’ll talk after you finish reading.”

Her tone was very calm as if this was someone else’s business.

Xi Fengling’s attitude now could be described as indifferent.

Seeing this, Feng Xiangxiang cried even harder.

She blamed them for leaving her in the orphanage…

She read the letter while crying.

There was not much content on the letter. It should have been written in a hurry. The last few words were even a little illegible.

It mentioned Xi Fengling’s name and the year of her birth. He even wrote that she was temporarily sent to the orphanage and hoped that the orphanage could help take care of the child for a while. He would find a chance to pick the child up and leave, as well as some words of gratitude.

After she finished reading the letter, Xi Fengling said, “The director of the orphanage told me that there was still a sum of money left on me with this letter.”

“F-Fengling, you… I… We…”

“If you have anything to say, take a look at the document in your hand first.”

Feng Xiangxiang opened the document with trembling hands and the letter was passed to Feng Qin.

After reading the letter and seeing the paternity test report in Feng Xiangxiang’s hand, Feng Qin was more excited than sad.

So Sister Fengling was really her sister!

Feng Xiangxiang was already speechless and crying.

Xi Fengling didn’t comfort her. She just sat there quietly and watched.

She looked unmoved, like a bystander.

Only Yan Jinyu, who was beside her, sensed the change in her emotions.

If it wasn’t for the fact that she had not cried for many years, Meimei would probably be crying now.

Meimei felt like weeping but she had no tears.

Actually, sometimes, people who could cry were, in fact, the fortunate ones.

“Ling’er, my daughter, Dad and Mom have let you down…”

“Don’t be in a hurry to apologize. Since you know what’s going on, let’s get down to business first.”

Her calmness made the two of them feel very uncertain.

Compared to Feng Xiangxiang, Feng Qin was calmer. Seeing Xi Fengling was so calm, she also calmed down slightly.

“Sister Fengling, no, no. I should call you Sister.”

“I can roughly guess what Sister wants to ask. However, before Sister asks those questions, can I ask Sister a question first?”

Xi Fengling looked at her and gestured for her to ask.

“When did you find out? And this paternity test report…” Actually, the test report had a date on it. She asked this because she wanted to confirm it again.

“Before we first met, I asked Min Ting to bring you over when we met at the golf course that day.”

Indeed…

“Then you…”

Then what about you? Why didn’t you tell me earlier?

What kind of answer did she want to hear?

Her original plan was that even if Sister Fengling was really her sister, she wouldn’t acknowledge her.

“No wonder. I knew it. How could it be such a coincidence? Not long after I asked Third Young Master Min about a woman who looked very similar to me, I met you.”

“Sister, did you do the paternity test because you found out from Eldest Miss Yan that you looked like me and were suspicious?”

“Min Rufeng investigated it. I only found out after the paternity test results were out.” She even saw it by chance.

Min Rufeng had planned to tell her at night, but he accidentally let her see the paternity test report that he had placed in the study.

“I see.” It was obvious that Second Young Master Min treated his sister very well.

“There’s something that Sister might be angry about if I say it out, but since it’s already come to this, I don’t want to hide it from Sister anymore. Actually, I’ve always suspected that you’re my sister. It’s just that I don’t have conclusive evidence. I suspected but didn’t tell you because I didn’t want to acknowledge you.”

“You saw it too. I don’t want you to get involved in Mom and my situation in the Feng Family.” There was no point in hiding it now, so Feng Qin simply said it all.

Because she knew that even if she didn’t say it, Xi Fengling could guess it with her intelligence.

It would avoid unnecessary misunderstandings if she said it out loud.

Xi Fengling glanced at her.

She had already guessed that.

Got involved?

So what if she got involved? Could the Feng Family still control her life?

What a joke.

“If you have anything to ask, just… just ask.” Feng Xiangxiang was still a little choked up.

With the evidence here, it was impossible to deny it, so Feng Xiangxiang didn’t suppress her emotions.

“I’ll tell you all I know.”

“Why did you abandon me at the orphanage back then? Since you left a letter and money and said that you would pick me up one day, it means that you don’t really want to abandon me. I want to know the reason.”

“Also, where’s your husband? Where did he go? Why did you and Little Feng Qin move from Water City to the Feng Family in Cloud City?”

When she asked this, Feng Xiangxiang, who had finally calmed down, couldn’t stop her tears from falling. She sobbed softly.

“We didn’t want to either. Your father had too many enemies back then. Your grandmother… I mean your biological grandmother. She was seriously ill.”

“I had to take care of your grandmother and hide from his enemies with your father. I can’t take care of you at all. I thought that if anything really happened to us and at least I could protect you when I sent you out, so…”

“Your father sent you to the orphanage. I only knew which orphanage it was later on. I don’t know anything else. Perhaps because he was afraid that it would leak out, your father didn’t even tell me that he had given you a name.”

“We went around for two years. Your grandmother was seriously ill and she passed away.”

“Later on, I was pregnant with Qin’er. It wasn’t suitable for me to have a child under such circumstances, but I couldn’t bear to give her up, so I hid and gave birth to Qin’er.”

“After giving birth to Qin’er, we moved many times.”

“After that, for some reason, your father’s enemies didn’t hunt us so much anymore, so we found a place to settle down. However, your father always went out during that period of time. He often came back after a month or two. Sometimes, he was even injured. I asked him, but he didn’t say much…”

“Fortunately, our situation had finally improved and we don’t have to wander around anymore.”

“When Qin’er was six years old, which was when you were eight years old, your father and I discussed and asked him to go to the orphanage to bring you back. He did go, but he didn’t find you.”

“Then that night, he said that he’s going to look for you personally.”

“He never came back after he left.”

Xi Fengling listened quietly, but her fists clenched tighter.

Eight years old?

She was brought to Ghost Slaughter Island by someone from Ghost Slaughter Island when she was eight years old.

“After that, Qin’er and I were found by the Feng Family and forcefully brought back to the Feng Family. There was even less news of your father.”

Feng Xiangxiang’s eyes were swollen from crying, and her body trembled.

This was her scar. Now that she was opening these scars bit by bit, she must be feeling very painful.

There were many things that even Feng Qin didn’t know.

Hence, Feng Qin was also very uneasy when she heard Feng Xiangxiang say that.

“Mom, why didn’t you tell me? Perhaps my father is still alive. If you tell me, I can find a way to look for him.”

In the past, she had asked her mother where her father had gone. Her mother had said that he had been harmed by his enemies.

Although her childhood memories were not clear, she still remembered some of them.

She vaguely remembered that her parents had indeed been avoiding their enemies. In addition, her father was indeed missing, so she believed her mother’s words without a doubt.

However, whenever she asked her mother who their enemy was, her mother would cry and say that she didn’t know either.

She didn’t look like she was lying to her. Her mother really didn’t know.

“Our lives in the Feng Family are already difficult, so why should we tell you all these to add to your worries? I don’t even know who your father’s enemy is, so how are you going to investigate?”
