"Others may ignore you or not cherish you enough, but the Zheng family will never do that. You may feel sad and frustrated, but you must never do anything foolish, because such people are not worth it."
"If you have any questions that you can't resolve, you can come to me for advice anytime. If that's still not enough, you can go to the manor in the suburbs to relax, where your grandmother and aunt will keep you company."
After saying that, Gu Qinlan led everyone away.
As soon as Gu Qinlan disappeared from sight, Zheng Fenghui made his appearance.
He swaggered over to Zheng Huiyi's door and rudely kicked the door a few times: "What are you doing hiding in there? Come out here. Didn't you boast about your abilities? Didn't you say that woman is your biological mother and will never abandon you? Then why are you crying here?"
Zheng Huiyi's tears, which she had managed to hold back, welled up again because of his words.
She yelled angrily, "Get away! Get away right now!"
Zheng Fenghui deliberately provoked him, saying, "I'm not leaving, what can you do about it?"
In a fit of anger, Zheng Huiyi grabbed a teacup and slammed it against the door.
Zheng Fenghui said slowly and deliberately, "Go ahead and smash them. The house is so barren now that even the sound of them makes no noise. Every one you smash is one less. Once you've smashed them all, you can just drink directly from the teapot."
These words successfully made Zheng Huiyi put down the second teacup she had picked up, but the anger in her heart had no outlet, so she could only stomp her feet anxiously in the room.
Zheng Fenghui, with his keen hearing, heard her stomping her feet and couldn't help but laugh sarcastically, "You're nothing special. What else can you do besides lock yourself in your room and cry?"
"You've always called yourself a strong person, so how come you've been defeated by a slap and become so cowardly? It seems you're no different from your little aunt, only good at bullying your own people, but powerless against outsiders."
“I despise people like you the most. If you’re really capable, use your intelligence and skills against others. Fight back against those who bully you! Don’t just come back crying and make those you look down on clean up your mess.”
Zheng Huiyi, there was a time when I always thought you were incredibly intelligent, but now it seems you've become the most naive of them all. You should think carefully: between the Zou family and the Gu family, who truly supports your future? Even though your aunt committed a grave mistake, she still spared no effort to find her. Would she really abandon you? Even if she's unreliable, you still have your third uncle, and you still have me. The Zheng family will never fall.
After saying this, Zheng Fenghui held his beloved little sword and hurried away.
He has said all he could; whether or not one can comprehend it is beyond his control.
Zheng Huiyi sat alone in the room, Zheng Fenghui's words lingering in her mind, her emotions becoming increasingly complicated.
She never expected that Gu Qinlan would show such concern for her.
Although she didn't know how much sincerity was behind this concern, at that moment, this care did indeed bring her a sense of comfort.
She wasn't a helpless orphan; wasn't she just a heartless and ungrateful mother? What was there to fear in severing ties?
In fact, she had already lost her mother long before her mother abandoned her and Zheng Fenghui and decided to remarry.
Zheng Fenghui is absolutely right. She was too naive. She knew the woman's true colors, yet she still harbored unrealistic fantasies and tried to seek refuge from her.
Today's slap has truly woken her up.
If she makes a foolish mistake again in the future, she will reflect on her actions!
She was indeed a little uneasy about whether her aunt's mistake would affect her, but Zheng Fenghui's words just now gave her some confidence.
The Zheng family will never abandon her.
Although her aunt made a big mistake, Gu Qinlan did not abandon her, so why should she worry?
The worst outcome would be damage to her reputation, making it difficult for her to get married. Would the Zheng family really let her go hungry?
Thinking about it this way, most of Zheng Huiyi's previous grief and depression instantly dissipated.
Remembering that Gu Qinlan had just instructed the servants to prepare a meal for her, she immediately felt hungry, so she opened the door and called out, "Where are the servants? Prepare my food and wash my clothes."
Zi Yan was initially surprised, then overjoyed, and immediately went to arrange everything.
Gu Qinlan was having dinner with Zhao Qingyu when she learned that Zheng Huiyi's emotions had stabilized.
While eating, Zhao Qingyu asked with concern, "Sister, how is Huiyi?"
I hadn't had time to think about it before, but now I finally remembered to ask.
Gu Qinlan gently picked up a piece of food and brought it to her lips: "She's fine. Her constitution is far superior to yours. She was just a little frightened. She'll recover completely after a few days of rest. As for you, you need to be carefully taken care of."
Zhao Qingyu was abducted earlier than Zheng Huiyi and endured many hardships, leaving her looking emaciated and pitiful.
Fortunately, Naro's mother only coveted money from these girls and did not subject them to physical suffering.
Hearing that Zheng Huiyi was safe and sound, Zhao Qingyu felt slightly relieved.
After the meal, Gu Qinlan said, "I plan to send an envoy to the capital to find out about your family's situation and see if your parents are looking for you."
Zhao Qingyu immediately tensed up.
Gu Qinlan chuckled and stroked the back of her hand: "Don't worry, you should have faith in your family."
Recalling the pampering she had received since childhood, Zhao Qingyu gradually gained some courage.
Her parents cherished her from a young age, and her status at home was even higher than that of her older and younger brothers. From childhood to adulthood, everything she hoped for and pursued was never in vain.
