Although their entire family had settled in London, Y country, they still knew a little about the situation in Z country.
Poverty and backwardness.
The people's lives were extremely difficult.
“Life is indeed quite tough, but only my family knows how tough it is.” This was Lu Lingxiao’s reply.
He took his wife's hand and pulled her to sit on the chair to his left. He wrapped her soft little hand in his big palm and continued, "Less than half a year after my father-in-law passed away, my dear mother-in-law remarried, taking Zhizhi with her."
"You...you remarried?"
Feng Henglin had barely managed to calm himself down a little when this sentence made him instantly excited and shocked again.
"Of course!"
Lu Lingxiao nodded very seriously.
Then he slowly explained, "Actually, there's nothing wrong with remarrying. After all, my mother-in-law was still very young back then, and remarrying was inevitable. But the problem is that after she remarried, she treated her own daughter very badly."
"Zhizhi had no blood relation to that family. They ostracized her at every turn, considering her a burden. Yet, her biological mother always made her endure it. As a result, Zhizhi suffered a great deal in that family..."
Lu Lingxiao's account was very detailed, even including how Lan Guixiang helped her stepson and stepdaughter neglect her own daughter, and how she even helped her stepdaughter scheme against her own daughter. He described everything in detail.
"I never imagined that my aunt was such an irresponsible mother."
Feng Henglin picked up the water on the table and gulped down several mouthfuls before he could finally calm his anger. Under Feng Zhiyi's calm and unwavering gaze, he said, "Little sister, you've suffered all these years, but don't worry, from now on our whole family will love you dearly."
A mother like that is better off without!
Feng Zhiyi smiled and said, "I'm fine. All of that is in the past. I'm doing very well now and I'm very happy. I have a loving husband and in-laws who dote on me like their own daughter."
"I am very content now!"
"How could nothing be wrong?"
Lu Lingxiao had no intention of keeping it a secret for his mother-in-law. He said slowly, "When you got married, she didn't even prepare a decent dowry for you. Is that something to be ashamed of?"
"What? She didn't even prepare a dowry for her younger sister?"
Feng Henglin was heartbroken.
Feng Zhiyi is the only girl in the direct line of the Feng family!
She should have been living a life of luxury, but instead, she suffered for over a decade with her biological mother and stepfather.
Feng Henglin felt more and more heartbroken the more he thought about it.
He immediately pulled out a checkbook from his pocket, took out a pen, and with a few quick strokes, wrote a check for five hundred thousand dollars.
He handed it to Feng Zhiyi.
Then he opened another 100,000 yuan note and gave it to his brother-in-law, Lu Lingxiao.
"Little sisters, take this and spend it. This is your allowance from your fourth brother. As for the gifts, your fourth brother will make up for it when we return to London, Y country."
His sister, Feng Henglin's sister, should be pampered!
Spoil me unconditionally!
Feng Zhiyi, "..."
Lu Lingxiao, "..."
The couple looked at the checks on the table with perfect understanding.
When you see the amount clearly—
His pupils dilated.
Good heavens!
This fourth brother is really extravagant!
He immediately spent six hundred thousand US dollars.
That's several million yuan.
Amidst the young couple's swirling thoughts, Feng Henglin returned the jade thumb ring to Feng Zhiyi with a bright smile, "Little sister, I never expected to run into my own cousin on this trip to Chicago, otherwise I would have definitely brought more gems with me."
"But believe me, your fourth brother will make it all up to you."
As he spoke, he glanced at the watch on his wrist and then said, "Little sister, why don't you come with me to Country Y? Grandpa and Grandma miss your father the most. Grandma often looks at Uncle's old photos and cries her eyes out."
"If they heard the news of my uncle's death, they definitely wouldn't be able to handle it..."
If my younger sister were here, things might be a little better.
At least the elderly couple can still have something to look forward to, transferring their affection for their uncle to their granddaughter.
Feng Zhiyi shook her head. "I'm sorry, I can't go to Y country with you right now. We came abroad on a mission. Ling Xiao and I have already bought our tickets for tonight. We'll fly directly to Paris, F country at 8:40."
"But......"
Feng Henglin swallowed the words that were on the tip of his tongue and asked again, "When will you be able to finish your work? When you're done, I'll come to France to pick you up, or after you arrive in Paris, you can go directly to the Feng Family Manor to stay, and I'll bring Grandpa and Grandma to Paris to see you?"
"It's not clear yet. If all goes well, it will take three or four days. If things don't go well, it could take a week, or even longer. So I can't give you a definite answer," Feng Zhiyi said honestly.
She genuinely didn't know.
After all, she and Ling Xiao were still in Chicago and knew nothing about the two scientists' situation until they arrived in Paris.
Upon hearing this, Feng Henglin immediately made a decision, "Okay, then after I return to London, I will tell my family about you and Uncle, and then take Grandpa and Grandma to Paris to see you."
"good!"
Feng Zhiyi nodded, agreeing to his decision.
"Let's go, let's go out. We can talk about it in detail when you get to Paris."
She didn't miss Feng Henglin's glance at his watch; it was clearly time. So, after saying that, she pulled Lu Lingxiao to her feet.
Give him the jade thumb ring and have him put it on.
Feng Henglin grabbed the two checks and handed them to Feng Zhiyi. "Take these checks. Buy whatever you like when you get to Paris. If you run out, your fourth brother will give you more."
That's quite a boastful tone!
So handsome, isn't he!
He's a typical rich young master, casually and generously handing over millions with a wave of his hand.
Without even blinking.
"Then we won't stand on ceremony with you, Fourth Brother!" Feng Zhiyi smiled brightly and said playfully.
Feng Henglin raised his hand and touched her hair, his voice full of affection, "Don't be so polite with your fourth brother. If you want to buy anything in the future, just tell your fourth brother and I'll buy it for you!"
OK!
Feng Zhiyi smiled and replied to him.
She put the check in her pocket.
The three then left the meeting room.
As soon as I stepped onto the lawn, I saw Alice and Mrs. Elsa waiting in the courtyard not far away.
Thinking about Alice's age, and then thinking about her fourth cousin whom she had just met.
Feng Zhiyi's eyes flickered.
Immediately, she couldn't help but ask Feng Henglin, "Hey, Fourth Brother, what's your relationship with that Miss Alice?"
Upon hearing this, Feng Henglin paused, a strange emotion flashing across his eyes.
He spoke slowly, "We're just ordinary friends."
You’re kidding me!
