"Second brother, I'm fine. I just haven't been here in a long time and wanted to look around. Besides, I left this morning and will be back in no time." Feng Mingzhu gave her second brother a mischievous smile.

Seeing Mingzhu's pale face, Feng Tingjian felt guilty: "You must obey me, otherwise I will have to send you back, lest my elder brother scolds me to death."

"Okay, I promise I won't run around anymore. Brother, do you think the Zhou family is a possibility?" Feng Mingzhu asked anxiously.

Feng Tingjian glanced at Li Kun, who tactfully withdrew.

After the door closed, Feng Tingjian sat on the edge of the bed and held Mingzhu's hand: "The Zhou family is in a mess right now, it's not worth it to help them up."

“That woman from the Zhou family likes Chen… Luo Chen!” Feng Mingzhu knew what her second brother hated.

Upon hearing that the Zhou family girl liked Luo Chen, Feng Tingjian raised the corners of his mouth and said, "That could be a good thing for the Zhou family. When their love turns to hate, it will certainly cause Luo Chen some trouble. However, don't let my elder brother know about this."

"Why?" Feng Mingzhu didn't understand.

"Grandpa's order to my eldest brother is to take over one-third of the market in City A, and not to let any personal issues affect this mission. If he fails to do so, the mission will be handed over to my second uncle, and then we brothers can forget about getting involved with the companies in City A anymore," Feng Tingjian knew that the eldest branch of the family had to seize this opportunity to regain face, otherwise, if their second uncle and the others gained Grandpa's trust, their lives would be in trouble.

Hearing this, Feng Mingzhu frowned slightly. She was still quite wary of the old man of the Feng family. That old geezer was the most meddlesome and was never kind to her. In his eyes, only the men of the Feng family were entitled to a share of the Feng family's property.

“Then we should still be careful, after all, there aren’t many opportunities. Grandpa is always fair and just, and eldest brother can’t make a mistake in front of him.” She also felt that it was right for her second brother to be careful; they really couldn’t mess things up here.

"Alright, don't worry about company matters. Get some rest. I'm relieved to see you're alright. Second brother is leaving now. Eat well at noon; a full stomach will help you recover faster," Feng Tingjian instructed before hurrying off again.

Upon hearing footsteps coming downstairs, Feng Mingzhu suddenly coughed up a mouthful of blood.

When Li Kun came in and saw this scene, he quickly called the nurse in.

...

Yawn, yawn!

Mo Xiaotuo had been sneezing all morning, and she didn't know who was talking about her.

Tomorrow is the weekend, the day I agreed with Zhiyan. She plans to work overtime today, otherwise she'd feel embarrassed to take her salary if she rested every day.

"Huh, who transferred money to me?" Zhou Tingting suddenly noticed that her account had an extra 10,000 yuan.

"Did your dad call you?" Mo Xiaotuo thought that since Brother Feng liked Tingting, his goddaughter, he probably loved her because of her.

Zhou Tingting shook her head and said with certainty, "It can't be my dad, he doesn't know my account."

Tick-tock!

Mo Xiaotuo's phone also received a text message, also indicating a credit limit of 10,000 yuan.

strangeness?

How come she has one too?

After Mo Xiaotuo's text message arrived, Haozi called.

"This is the bonus from the last order. I have another order in a few days, so please help me out!" It was Haozi's excited voice on the other end of the phone.

"Brother Mouse, no need, didn't we already give you lunch money?" Mo Xiaotuo was embarrassed. He was just fishing and drying his nets here every day, and he could still get so much bonus. It was like a huge pie falling from the sky.

"No, no, no, you are Sister Yan's sisters, and you will be my sisters too. It's better to benefit our own people than to benefit others. If you don't accept them, then you are treating your brother like an outsider," Haozi insisted.

“No, we’ve always considered you our older brother,” Mo Xiaotuo said with certainty.

"That's settled then, you guys get back to work. Remember what you promised Zhiyan, don't forget tomorrow." Before hanging up, Haozi reminded Xiao Tuo of the trip to the countryside with Zhiyan tomorrow.

Beep beep beep...

The call ended abruptly, and Mo Xiaotuo glanced at Zhou Tingting with a helpless expression.

Zhou Tingting also overheard the contents of the phone call, and she felt that accepting the money was problematic, but refusing it was also problematic.

"Alright, let's leave it at that. Brother Haozi just doesn't want us to suffer too much." Mo Xiaotuo remembered this kindness, hoping that one day she would have the ability to repay this favor.

Lunchtime arrived quickly, and when they passed the milk tea shop next door, they found that Duoduo was not in the shop.

Zhou Tingting took out her phone and browsed online. Suddenly, she discovered a major revelation about the Zhou family, and she excitedly stopped in her tracks.

"What's wrong?" Mo Xiaotuo leaned over to take a look.

Someone posted videos of Zhou Qinian having affairs online, including models, internet celebrities, and even wealthy women; he was indiscriminate in his pursuit of women.

Zhou Tingting felt ashamed to have such a biological father, and wondered how her mother would feel after seeing these videos.

"I think we should show these to Aunt Lin so she can finally give up," Mo Xiaotuo suggested to Zhou Tingting.

"Do you think my mom still likes that scumbag dad?" Zhou Tingting frowned after hearing this.

Mo Xiaotuo pulled Zhou Tingting into the elevator and said, "Think about it, if she wasn't thinking about that scumbag, why would she have remained single for so many years?"

"Of course it's for me! My mom said she doesn't want to remarry because she doesn't want to be bullied by her stepfather," Zhou Tingting replied innocently.

Mo Xiaotuo poked Zhou Tingting's head and said with great annoyance, "What's wrong with your brain? You're so old already, living at school won't affect your relationship at all. Besides, you said your mother is very tired, wouldn't it be better to have someone to share the burden?"

Zhou Tingting calmly considered what Xiao Tuo had said, and it seemed that Xiao Tuo was right.

My mother has had a very tough time these past few years. She was often sick as a child, and the money her scumbag father gave her was all used up when she was very young. Later, my mother did a lot of work to raise her. If someone had helped share the burden, my mother wouldn't have been so exhausted.

How could this be?

Why can't she forget the scumbag father who hurt her so deeply?

"Why?" she muttered, puzzled.

"You'll understand once you start dating. Love is like water; once it's spilled, you can't take it back. And it's easy to lose yourself in it," Mo Xiaotuo said, also thinking about her relationship with Mr. Luo.

She was actually afraid to face their relationship because she had forgotten some memories, and she was afraid that something else had happened in between that she wouldn't remember. For example, what stage had their relationship reached before Min Ji-hyun?

"If you remembered the past, would you be with Brother Min?" Zhou Tingting asked curiously.

Mo Xiaotuo shook his head: "Who knows? We can only take it one step at a time."

As the two were talking, the elevator doors opened, and Min Ji-hyun stood outside the elevator entrance. It was unclear whether she had overheard their conversation.
