Chapter 907 Everyone Has a Past

Qiao Nan was not in their presence. If she was and heard these words of Old Master Feng, she would say, “Does Old Master Feng want me to contract the Stockholm syndrome?”

This tactic of Old Master Feng might be successful if it was used on others.

The problem was that the one that Old Master Feng encountered was Qiao Nan. She was not a real twenty-year-old young lady who would be bribed by this method of ‘giving a sweet date after a slap’ of Old Master Feng.

When Feng Meng was home, Feng Liang summoned him to the study room and carefully questioned him. True enough, he received an answer that was similar to Old Master Feng Liang’s guess. “Feng Meng, next time, Old Master Feng will ask Qing Qing to bring Qiao Nan back for a meal. At that time, I will acknowledge her as my goddaughter. She will become your god cousin in the future. Do you understand what I mean?”

Feng Liang knew that his nephew, Feng Meng, was very smart. He would certainly understand what he meant.

Feng Meng knitted his brows. “Is there a need to do so?”

She was just a wild girl that sprang out of nowhere. Why did the Feng family have to acknowledge Qiao Nan as fictive kin and benefit her?

“A need to do so?” Feng Liang snorted coldly. “Do you look down on the fact that Qiao Nan came from the countryside?”

“…” Feng Meng did not mutter a word, admitting to Feng Liang’s words.

Feng Liang sat down and leaned back on the chair. His eyes looked deep and profound. His tone was sullen. “Do you know that the old master has actually toyed with the idea of acknowledging a god sister for me, a god aunt for you, thirty years ago? That person also came from the countryside. After all, Qiao Nan came from Ping Cheng while that girl was truly a country bumpkin who had not seen the world.”

“Uncle, you’re referring to…”

“Have you guessed it? That’s right. I’m referring to Chief Zhai’s wife, Miao Jing. At that time, when everyone knew Miao Jing’s identity, no one believed that this couple’s relationship would last. They felt that given Zhai Yaohui’s pride, he would divorce Miao Jing sooner or later. This woman from the countryside would then have to return to where she came from. Most importantly, Qing Qing’s auntie was somehow involved romantically with Zhai Yaohui at that point in time. When this woman appeared, who would have expected Zhai Yaohui to abandon Qi Minlan because of her?”

When Miao Jing appeared, no one really believed that she would make it. Moreover, no one felt that Miao Jing could really be married into the Zhai family, becoming Zhai Yaohui’s wife as well as giving birth to Zhai Yaohui’s children.

However, what was the outcome?

Qi Minlan lost!

Miao Jing not only married Zhai Yaohui but also gave birth to one son and one daughter for him. Thirty years had passed and Zhai Yaohui would bring Miao Jing along wherever he went.

Someone said that Miao Jing was the one who wanted to stick to Zhai Yaohui. However, given Zhai Yaohui’s capability, it was not difficult at all for him to dump Miao Jing a hundred or a thousand times if he was not willing to let Miao Jing follow him around.

One had to know that Zhai Yaohui was the king when he was in the army!

The minds and ways of thinking of the Feng family were complex. They had always hoped that Qi Minlan could safeguard the romantic relationship between Zhai Yaohui and her.

Thereafter, everyone received the Zhai family’s wedding invitations. Old Master Feng then brought up the fact that Miao Jing did not have any relatives. In the happy event of a lifetime, it was not good that she did not even have a maternal family for her marriage.

Since it was fate that brought them together, Old Master Feng was willing to acknowledge Miao Jing as his goddaughter. In the future, Miao Jing could visit the Feng family often. As such, Miao Jing would have a maternal family and it was a huge family.

Of course, be it Miao Jing herself, Zhai Yaohui, or Old Master Zhai, all of them declined this suggestion.

When some words were said at a later time, it was no longer worth anything.

Hence, this time, the Feng family had revived their previous idea. They wanted to take advantage of the fact that Qiao Nan was young and inexperienced and let Qiao Nan acknowledge the Feng family as her fictive family.

“I think the situation is different.” Of course, Feng Meng was aware of Miao Jing’s matter. “Furthermore, this kind of situation may not occur again.”

“There is a second time.” Feng Liang let out an exasperated sigh. “Zhai Sheng will be coming to the capital for the upcoming national event.”

“!” Feng Meng was taken aback. “Uncle, do you mean… I don’t think so, though?”

Zhai Sheng broke the tradition in order to give Qiao Nan his support? That was impossible. How could Zhai Sheng be this kind of person? Qiao Nan should not have such an important place in the hearts of Zhai Sheng and the Zhai family.

Feng Liang lighted a cigarette and smoked deeply. “At the very least, before Qiao Nan became a college student in the capital, have you seen Zhai Sheng coming?”

“It may be a coincidence.” He was not sure why but Feng Meng was unwilling to admit that Qiao Nan was so important to Zhai Sheng and that Zhai Sheng cared so much about Qiao Nan. “Zhai Sheng doesn’t seem like a muddleheaded man that will commit mistakes because of a woman.”

Feng Liang gave a snort. “The Zhai family is different from our Feng family. If they had as many considerations as us, do you think Miao Jing would be able to get married to Zhai Yaohui in the past? Like father, like son. Zhai Yaohui is very proud. Most likely, Zhai Sheng resembles him. They feel that the Zhai family doesn’t need to have a marriage to unite two families. It is more important to find someone that they like.”

When Feng Liang mentioned this, he felt very upset.

When he was young, he had met someone whom he adored and liked very much. The two of them thus dated for a long time.

However, when the lady chased for marriage, Feng Liang did not agree even after a long time.

It was not because of other reasons. It was because Old Master Feng had already found a woman for Feng Liang, this elder son, and wanted the two families to unite by marriage.

This woman herself, as well as her maternal family, could help Feng Liang.

Feng Liang was ambitious. He felt that Old Master Feng’s arrangements were excellent. When this lady whom he liked requested for marriage with Feng Liang, Feng Liang had already collected the marriage certificate and became an official couple with his fiancée. The preparation for the wedding banquet was almost completed as well.

Feng Liang was very clear that the woman whom he married was who he needed but the one before him was who he loved.

Feng Liang hoped that this woman could understand his difficulties and support his career. One day, when he truly became powerful, he would definitely give the woman that he loved most a name. However, prior to that, this woman would have to endure and suffer a little for the time being.

He swore to the woman that he only loved her. Besides a name, everything that he had would belong to her. The wife in his family would not get a single thing from him. That wife would not intervene in his matters outside the home as well.

Feng Liang really loved this woman and had made plans. When he felt that the Feng family had achieved enough and his wife was no longer of help to him, he would then marry the one that he loved. Regardless of the number of years that it would take, his love for her would never change.

Until today, Feng Liang knew that if that woman was willing to appear before him, he would immediately divorce his wife and marry her.

Unfortunately, many years ago, when that lady knew about this cruel truth, she ran away after giving Feng Liang a slap.

Feng Liang thought that the other party did that out of a fit of anger. After a few days, when her anger had subsided, he would appease her and his loved one would definitely understand his situation. Feng Liang did not expect that when he went to look for that lady one week later, she had already moved out. Moreover, she did not leave any message for him.
