Reborn as a Weak Beauty Pampered by All

Chapter 1057: Chapter 1043

"It’s indeed quite unbelievable." Old Lady Li agreed with Kang Li, frowning as she said, "That family must have a complicated background, right?" Her gaze fell on Xiao Shen, who nodded in agreement.

If there isn’t a certain family background, without any power, how could someone stage a fake death to escape? And then use power to send the person directly to his side?

Xiao Shen did not understand why Mr. Feng indulged Feng Lu so much?

Is it really just because of affection?

But for someone who has long been in a high position, wouldn’t he understand a simple truth—indulging a child is like harming them? Doesn’t he know that feelings cannot be forced?

With lips tightly pressed, Xiao Shen’s expression was very grave. He felt that Mr. Feng was either senile or simply pitied Feng Lu and his siblings for losing their mother at a young age, so he only thought of spoiling them, neglecting to teach them how to behave.

But why, although they are both his children, does Mr. Feng seem to particularly care little for the child born of his second wife?

Xiao Shen had heard a bit about the Feng family’s affairs from his family.

For instance, Mr. Feng and the wife he married in his second marriage only doted on Feng Lu and his siblings, paying almost no attention to their own child, Feng Yi.

Not to mention long ago, just this year during the Spring Festival, he heard from family members that the youngest son of the Feng family, Feng Yi, had even cut ties with the Feng family, having not returned for several years and was even out of touch.

And what could prompt a young person to actively sever ties with their family in this way? It shows how deeply the Feng family must have hurt Feng Yi. Otherwise, why would Feng Yi choose to do such a thing without any good reason?

Doesn’t he understand the principle of leaning on a big tree for shelter?

Xiao Shen shook his head inwardly; someone who can attend high school and has no issues with intelligence surely understands. He estimated that the young person must have been completely disheartened by his family, which is why he decisively left the Feng family.

"Using a fake death to escape existing identity and responsibilities, then running to Hu City under another name and identity to involve you for many years, it seems you’ve tolerated quite a lot too?!"

Elder Loh looked at Xiao Shen with a calm gaze: "Knowing about Doctor Mei and yet allowing her to stay by your side, I see you’re not only tolerant but also very sentimental."

The tone was steady, but Xiao Shen detected a trace of sarcasm in Elder Loh’s words. His mouth moved slightly, but he was speechless for a while.

"Since you are sentimental, how could you manage to hide the matter about Xuexue from us until now? Or is your sentimentality only directed at other women?"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Shen’s face changed imperceptibly: "Master, I... I’m not sentimental about Feng Lu, it’s because of the relationship between our family and the Feng family..."

Elder Loh waved his hand: "You don’t need to explain, no matter what you say, that woman stayed by your side for many years, that’s a fact you can’t deny."

"I do care about Xuexue, Master!" Xiao Shen’s eyes were filled with guilt and remorse: "I was just momentarily confused, and when I wanted to reach out to Xuexue again, you and the Master had already left Hu City with her."

Old Lady Li sat quietly on the side.

Meanwhile, Kang Li and Luo Yanqing were silent too, but no one noticed the change in Luo Yanqing’s expression.

Deceiving the world?

Using a fake death to escape existing identity and responsibilities?

Abandoning husband and child?

These pieces of information, upon hearing them from Xiao Shen’s mouth, Luo Yanqing thought of one person—his ex-wife.

As for the name Feng Lu, Luo Yanqing had no impression of it in his memory, but it seemed, perhaps his ex-wife’s last name was "Feng."
