Chapter 760: Chapter 97: Stone in the Lake
Xu Lan Ya’s grandfather couldn’t possibly have the surname Wang, Zhang Yiyi was befuddled.
"Actually, I didn’t lie to Yiyi either. If Xu Lan Ya were to marry Wang Shuai, his grandfather would become Xu Lan Ya’s grandfather, right?" Xiao Xian had been muttering to herself as she watched earlier, presuming that Xu Lan Ya could smoothly marry Wang Shuai.
Wang Fenglei showing up at the Huake Institute out of the blue, don’t tell me it’s just to take a look at her wrist guard.
After hearing Xiao Xian’s question, Wang Fenglei fell silent for a moment, "You are indeed Zhu Shijun’s little granddaughter," his words, without doubt, acknowledged that he was Wang Feng.
The possibility of Wang Fenglei being Wang Feng only came to Xiao Xian after returning to Beijing.
Yu Gang also mentioned that in the whole of Beijing, there are people named Wang Feng, if not a hundred, then at least eighty.
So Xiao Xian didn’t spend more time determining who Wang Feng really was. After she returned to Beijing, she phoned Zhu Shijun and inadvertently brought up Yu Shanyang living in the nursing home.
Talking about Yu Shanyang’s current situation reminded Zhu Shijun of Yu Gang, praising him as a man who could get things done. If there were more officials like Yu Gang, the farmers would have a much better life.
The apparent sighs from the old man indeed made Xiao Xian remember some things. Zhu Shijun’s temperament, when she first arrived at Ge Village, seemed just like a stubborn old man, full of mettle but lacking somewhat in people skills.
He wasn’t someone fond of socializing, and for those he enjoyed being with, he only differentiated into two types. One type was practical officials, and the other was the honest and hardy villagers.
Such a person wouldn’t have made many friends in officialdom back then. Wang Fenglei’s expression changed drastically at the sudden mention of her name.
"You knew my grandfather!" Xiao Xian didn’t shy away from Xuerou and Yiyi, her two friends knew about her grandfather’s affairs.
Although Yiyi was perplexed about Wang Fenglei’s identity, she realized they must have something to discuss after hearing Xiao Xian mention Zhu Shijun.
"Xiao Xian, you two talk. Yiyi, come with me for a walk by Sha Lake," Xuerou pulled Yiyi along and left.
That left Xiao Xian and Wang Fenglei in the room.
"Farmer Spring turned into Sha Lake? Decades have passed, and the changes to the Huake Institute are indeed significant. There’s a balcony upstairs, let’s go up and have a look." After Xiao Xian recognized his identity, Wang Fenglei’s tone remained uncommonly flat, the inevitable was still to come, and Wang Fenglei headed upstairs.
Xiao Xian, contemplating that a guest’s presence must be respected, took out two bottles of Cherry Juice from the fridge and followed him to the balcony.
On the balcony, the cucumbers were fresh and the small tomatoes were a bright red. Through the contrast of green foliage and red fruit, one could see a pool of Sha Lake where Yiyi and Xuerou seemed to be strolling.
"When we were on Changbai Mountain, I had hinted to you not to delve too deeply into the past, like the ginseng spiritual vein. I really didn’t want to compete with you youngsters for the ginseng spiritual vein," Wang Fenglei took the Cherry Juice from Xiao Xian without courtesy, drank it down in one gulp, glanced at the Cherry Valley label on the bottle, narrowed his eyes, and casually picked up another bottle.
"Continuing to dig until one gets to the bottom might sometimes reveal some truths. Don’t forget, had I not persisted in investigating at Changbai Mountain, I wouldn’t have been able to save Master Mei, though my inquiry inadvertently implicated the innocent Xiao Que," Xiao Xian said with regret, hearing from Zhou Ziang at the hospital that Xiao Que’s condition had not improved.
"Xiao Que is a poor child. When you have time, go keep her company. Xiao Que is half-conscious, and it’s only right for me to be there with her, but I have an urgent matter to attend to recently and must go out. My return is uncertain. Take good care of her, and I promise you, I will explain about your grandfather’s affairs after a while. Regardless of the truth, I have only one warning for you: do not make an enemy of Zhang Lvxiao. You cannot bear the consequences of that," Wang Fenglei tossed the bottle in his hand out, and the bottle vanished in mid-air.
"Zhang Lvxiao?" Xiao Xian heard an unfamiliar name, who was that?
"My nominal wife. To not conceal it from you, before entering Cangqiong Palace, there was a competition within the domestic Cultivation World. In that competition, I only managed second place. You should understand the rest," Wang Fenglei gazed ahead, and next to Sha Lake, a mini helicopter had appeared.
