"The day before yesterday afternoon, she called and after discussing the formal matters, casually ntioned sothing recent from the Feng family. My initial feeling was that Feng Yi was likely going to be blad again."
Pressing her lips tightly together, Kang Li involuntarily thought of what her mother had told her the previous night.
"Li Bao..."
Seeing that Kang Li was unresponsive for a long ti, Mrs. Qi couldn’t help but softly call out.
"I’m listening." Coming back to her senses, Kang Li said, "Last night before bed, my mom told she had received three phone calls that afternoon, but each ti she spoke, the caller would just hang up with a clang. Could it have been Feng Yi trying to call ? Did he hang up upon hearing my mom’s voice, because he was actually trying to reach ?"
Mrs. Qi said, "I think it was likely Feng Yi who called. That kid hasn’t had many close people around him since he was young, and it was only after he t you that I could tell from the way you talked about him,
that he not only was actively trying to get close to you but also seed to regard you as an elder sister. The trouble he’s encountered this ti is similar to last ti; escaping it would be difficult, and I figured he might call you for help."
Without responding, Kang Li asked, "What exactly happened?"
"When Feng Yi was in high school, he was classmates with a girl nad He Xue, and the Feng family has had a good relationship with the He family. The children from both families naturally knew each other well due to the frequent visits during festivals and holidays, so He Xue and Feng Yi were more than just ordinary classmates..."
Mrs. Qi hadn’t finished speaking when Kang Li interrupted, "Godmother, you said Feng Yi is in trouble, it wouldn’t happen to involve this He Xue, would it?"
"Yes." Mrs. Qi nodded.
Kang Li said, "The things that happened to Feng Yi before were directly related to He Xue; this ti... could she be framing him again?"
Mrs. Qi said, "Whether it’s framing... I’m not sure, but He Xue is nearly two months pregnant now. She claims that the child is Feng Yi’s, so her family brought He Xue to the Feng family demanding that Feng Yi marry their daughter imdiately. Otherwise, they would charge Feng Yi with the cri of hooliganism."
Kang Li frowned, "She says it and it’s just accepted as truth? Wouldn’t the Feng family check with Feng Yi first?"
"They did ask, and Feng Yi said he has nothing to do with He Xue, claiming the child isn’t his. However, according to He Xue’s pregnancy period, she did seek out Feng Yi during those days, and the two indeed spent so ti alone together,
yet Feng Yi has no witness to prove that he and He Xue had rely t once and nothing had happened between them."
"Why would they et? Feng Yi was supposed to be at work, and given his attitude towards this girl, he definitely wouldn’t et her on a weekday, let alone alone.
As for the weekends, with Mo Yan there, if He Xue looked for Feng Yi, he most likely wouldn’t let them be alone together, as they weren’t a couple, and being alone without anyone else around could lead to rumors."
"However, the coincidence lies in the fact that He Xue sought out Feng Yi on a weekday afternoon. That day Feng Yi took half a day off because he was sick and was resting at ho, and He Xue, having learned Mo Yan’s house address, went straight to his door... and was seen by a neighbor as she entered Mo’s courtyard."
"That’s quite a coincidence?"
Kang Li’s expression was slightly startled.
Mrs. Qi nodded, "Yes, it’s exactly that coincidental."
Kang Li, "How long did He Xue stay at Mo Yan’s house?"
Mrs. Qi said, "Feng Yi said that as soon as he saw He Xue, he drove her out, and it didn’t even last two or three minutes,"
