Chapter 1005: The Story of Ling and Heng (268)

"Mingzhu, what did you just say? That young man, the young man named Feng Ling, is a woman?" Qin Qiu looked at her in surprise.

Feng Mingzhu could understand her mother's surprise, but she didn't understand why she looked so surprised and scared. She just glanced at her. "Yes, she pretended to be a man and stayed in XI Base. Who knows what she wants to do? Maybe it's because she likes men, a lot of men?"

Qin Qiu's lips trembled and Feng Ling's face that was exactly the same as when she was young popped up in her mind, and then she turned to look at her mother.

Mrs. Qin put her hand on Qin Qiu's arm. After a long silence, she said, "Let's go in and take a look."

It was just their guess and the age didn't seem right... What if their hope was dashed again...

In the few years after the second child fell into the sea, they frequently visited the orphanages all over the country. Whenever they saw a girl who looked like her, they thought a miracle happened. But it turned out that none of them was her..

She had been gone for so many years. Could Feng Ling be her?

But the age was not right.

But the child was really like... If she was a girl, then...

Mrs. Qin and Qin Qiu exchanged a glance. Was it possible?

"Madam, Mrs. Feng, they are not here today. Can you wait a few days before entering the ancestral hall? I'm sorry, but you came too fast." Li Jinse didn't know what happened, but it was not convenient to let the Feng family people enter the ancestral hall at this time.

Miss Feng Mingzhu seemed to be unhappy about something. From what they said just now, she could tell there should be some strange disputes among them. The Li family certainly shouldn't get involved, so she'd better not let them in now.

"We're just going to see my second granddaughter's old clothes," Mrs. Qin said softly.

"Madam, the clothes will be kept here safely and I guess you still have other clothes of Miss Feng, right? I'm sorry, but this is our family's ancestral hall and only the men of the Li family are allowed in. Even I, a granddaughter of the Li family, cannot enter it casually. So... I'm afraid this is not very appropriate."

Mrs. Qin frowned, but she didn't insist on walking inward again. "Forget it, since the Li family has so many rules, I won't break the rules. When can Nanheng come back?"

"I have no idea. If you really need to see him now, I will call him, OK? But I called him just now but he didn't answer my phone..."

"Then don't bother. He must have something important to tend to now." Mrs. Qin didn't mention Feng Ling, gave Qin Qiu a wink, and turned back to the car.

Feng Mingzhu glanced back at the gate of the Li family's villa before getting into the car. She had thought that she would marry into this house, but she was wrong.

She lowered her eyes, said nothing, and got into the car.

Seeing the car leaving, Li Jinse let out a sigh of relief slowly.

Shit, the men of the Li family suddenly left in a day and she had to clean up the mess.

——

The roads of all highways in the outer suburbs of Los Angeles were severely icy, and even people with the best car skills couldn't fully control their cars on such icy roads.

The black Hummer's tires were very good, but it still skidded on the ice countless times. The car drove very fast. On the road to downtown, the car drifted because its speed was too high. Seeing the car out of control, Li Nanheng looked at the empty road ahead and the surrounding deserted fields and moved his hands away from the steering wheel...

In the end, with a "bang", the tall black Hummer slammed into the barrier on the side of the road, broke through the barrier, and stopped abruptly in the barren field before stalling with a buzz.

Li Nanheng was hit hard by the steering wheel in his chest, but he didn't even frown. When the car stopped, he sat silently in the cab, staring outside blankly, and slowly raised his hands placed on his thighs, only to grab a cloud of air.

He sat in Feng Ling's room all night last night.

He wanted to feel her temperature but couldn't.

Only then did he discover that she hadn't left anything for so long, and once she disappeared, no matter how powerful he was, he might not be able to find her.

...

Qingle Villa.

After two full days of recuperation, Feng Ling could finally get out of bed and walk around.

Wen Leqing did give her a good resting space. Except for being checked up and having meals, she rested in the room alone most of the time.

Feng Ling felt much better today. She took a shower, then put on a set of light-colored sportswear that Wen Leqing gave her, and went to open her two suitcases.

Most of the things in the suitcase could no longer be used or worn. After all, she was walking in the sleet for so long. No matter how good the suitcases were, water had already leaked into them. Being soaked in water for more than two days, the things in them were no longer usable.

She took everything in them out and prepared to throw them away, and at the same time noticed her phone wrapped among the clothes.

Li Nanheng accompanied her to buy this cell phone, which had been used for a long time. He once offered to buy a new one for her, but she refused.

At that time, she was inexplicably fond of the things he chose for her. She didn't understand what kind of emotion it was. She liked it, was reluctant to throw it away, and wanted to keep using it.

Today, she finally understood what kind of emotion it was.

Therefore, there was no need to keep this phone.

The girl squatting next to the suitcase threw the phone into the trashcan without hesitation, as well as the other things that could no longer be worn or used.
