Chapter 816 - Evening Feast V
‘Do it on your own if you wish to be the good guy.
‘What makes you think that you could make use of Luo Li to make the others think that you are the honorable one?
‘You have received a good reputation by making use of her. However, you are hurting her recklessly and have never cared if she was feeling alright.’
Luo Fei’s face stiffened more.
All he knew was that whenever he bought something for Luo Li, the thing would be gone after he went out and come back to her again.
There was even once when Luo Li’s mother’s things were almost taken away by others, and it was he who had helped to get them back.
However, Luo Li had never told him before that Qin Fei’er was involved in this matter.
How else could he have been aware of this?
“Li’er, you… how come you have said nothing about it? If you have told me, things would not have turned out this way.”
Feng Ruqing sneered and said, “If it were my father, he wouldn’t have questioned me like this after he has found out the truth. Instead, he would only feel pity, angry at the person who has hurt me, and also glad that I have finally found out the true colors of a person. You, on the other hand, even though I have told you about her difficulties, your first reaction is to question her for not telling you first?”
Luo Fei looked even more annoyed as he clenched his fists tightly and turned to glare at Qin Xiaoyue.
Qin Xiaoyue looked shocked as she bit on her lip tightly. With a malicious look, she stared at Feng Ruqing, furiously.
‘What an interfering busybody! Do they envy me for living a good life?’
Especially Luo Li, that fellow, who lived with them but was secretly helping outsiders. After all, she was still her stepmother, and Fei’er was her good old friend of many years, how could she allow others to spew nonsense about her?
“Xiao Qing.”
Luo Li put on a smile.
That was the first time Luo Li had smiled since the incident of being burnt by the hot water in front of Luo Fei. However, she was smiling at the others.
“Thank you…” She walked in front of Feng Ruqing and gently held her hand.
In this world, besides her grandmother and Little Fox, Xiao Qing was the first person who had protected her no matter what.
She would remember the warmth in her heart.
“Let’s go.”
With a gentle smile, Feng Ruqing caressed Luo Li’s head while she spoke, softly.
“Okay. Xiao Qing, is your father lacking daughters? What if I am to be his daughter? I’m very docile and obedient, it’s true.”
“Sure, I’ll inform him, and since he has always been fond of daughters, he will definitely agree since you’re such a lovely girl.”
Luo Fei was speechless as his face darkened.
Did this little girl really want to abandon him?
She had asked to be others’ daughter in front of him. Did she treat him like he was nothing to her?
“Li’er…” Luo Fei was flooded with the sense of regret and guilt when a cold and stern voice suddenly spoke from behind him just as he wanted to speak.
“I heard that somebody was deliberately hurting people in my manor just now? Tonight is my daughter’s birthday, who dares to not respect us and hurt others in this place?”
Not far away, Gu Shi had brought a troop of imperial guards along and was slowly advancing toward them. Feng Ruqing and Luo Li were stopped from leaving that place.
The imperial guards suddenly rushed forward and surrounded everyone. They were so closely surrounded that it was impossible to break out from that ambush.
Qin Chen stood beside Feng Ruqing quietly as he glared coldly at all the imperial guards. Something cold flashed in his eyes.
“Manor Master, it’s that woman! She’s the one who has beaten me for no reason!”
The middle-aged man who was thrown away by Feng Ruqing and was holding his head in pain stared at Feng Ruqing, angrily.
Nobody dared to start a fight within the chief manor. Therefore, he did not fight back even though he was beaten. Instead, he quickly went to manor master and reported what Feng Ruqing had done to the manor master.
