Sheng Yan frowned as he watched her expression while she was talking about these things. Although he didn't know this woman before, it was obvious that in her eyes, friendship was not friendship, and love was not love. All she wanted was money.
He exchanged a look with Sheng Sibai, and they both saw the desire in each other's eyes to leave as soon as possible, so as not to get themselves into trouble.
Zheng Qian talked a lot, and they got the information they wanted. Soon they left Zheng Qian's villa.
On the way back, Sheng Sibai noticed that Sheng Yan was still in a bad mood and didn't know what he was thinking.
"Why are you still unhappy? Now that we know that everything Zheng Qian did was her own idea and has nothing to do with Dad, won't you stop feeling guilty when you face Feng Qing?"
Sheng Yan nodded absent - mindedly. "I'm thinking about something else."
Sheng Sibai roughly guessed what it was, but he didn't know how to talk to Sheng Yan about it, so he simply didn't bring up the topic.
"I've always found it strange before that there are no photos of Mom at home. If what Zheng Qian said is true, then everything makes sense."
How crazy a person can be when in love and how heart - less when falling out of love is fully demonstrated in his father.
But what did his mother do wrong? It's so unfair to her.
"Sheng Yan, you don't have to be so obsessive. Only Mom knows exactly what happened back then. But I think since she was willing to give birth to us, it means she thought it was worth it."
No one can really understand other people's feelings. Even the affairs of their parents' generation are out of their reach.
Sheng Yan suddenly laughed as he was thinking. "Mom has been gone for so many years. Even if I feel indignant for her, she probably doesn't think it matters anymore."
Before Feng Qing came back to China, he always said that women were heartless. Now that he knew about his parents' relationship, he found that men could be just as heartless.
"Look on the bright side. Don't let this affect your relationship with Feng Qing."
Previously, they couldn't understand why their father always wanted to target Fengxing. Today they finally understood.
It turned out that the woman he loved most had become someone else's wife.
But his love was so cheap. He still got married and had children. He didn't really pay any price for his so - called love.
"Of course I won't let this affect my relationship with Feng Qing. I'm even worried that she might have a problem with me because of this."
Sheng Sibai pursed his lips. Some scenes of his conversation with Feng Qing flashed through his mind, and he decided to persuade Sheng Yan.
"Feng Qing should know about this. But if she doesn't mention it to you, don't bring it up on your own, or it might cause a rift between you two."
Sheng Yan's heart felt cold. His scumbag father was really the biggest obstacle on his road to happiness!
He nodded and took Sheng Sibai's advice to heart.
For the future of him and Feng Qing, he definitely wouldn't mention anything in front of her.
It was only up to Feng Qing to blame him, and he had no right to 'explain' anything to her.
"And there's also the matter of Jian Jiaojiao..." His happiness was within reach, but his elder brother wasn't as lucky as him.
It was only much later that he found out that the girlfriend his elder brother had when he was recuperating abroad was Jian Jiaojiao. He also sighed at how small the world was and how fate worked in mysterious ways.
The two brothers had fallen for two sisters.
Obviously, Sheng Sibai was not as optimistic as Sheng Yan. Although he kept his eyes on the road ahead, he still sighed several times in a row.
"Jiaojiao has a different personality from Feng Qing. It's not easy for her to let things go. Before, she broke up with me just because she thought I did that thing. She might also not forgive Dad because it was Dad who did it."
"Anyway, Dad is a thorn in her heart. With her personality, it's really hard for her to act as if it never happened."
Sheng Yan felt even more sorry for Sheng Sibai.
It turned out that their scumbag father was not only an obstacle on his road to happiness but also on his elder brother's.
Suddenly, he felt so pitiful for himself and his elder brother.
Sheng Sibai dropped Sheng Yan off at home and then drove back to the company by himself. After watching him leave downstairs, Sheng Yan turned around and was about to go home.
But suddenly he thought of something. He took out his phone and checked the time.
Feng Qing should have been home by this time. Maybe he could buy her something to eat and take it back.
He remembered that Feng Qing rarely ate sweets, but she never clearly said she didn't like them. Just as he walked across a street, he saw an old man selling candied haws at the street corner. So he picked a candied strawberry and planned to take it back for Feng Qing.
But before he got home, he saw Feng Qing at the community gate, with another man!
At first glance, he only saw the man's back and didn't recognize him immediately. When he got closer and the man turned his body a bit, he recognized him as Xie Chongguan, whom he had met at the alumni reunion.
On the day of the alumni reunion, it wasn't just Ji Yangu who tried to chat up Feng Qing. He had a deep impression of those men's faces.
The two of them were chatting and laughing. Sheng Yan strode over and loudly called out Feng Qing's name.
Both Feng Qing and Xie Chongguan turned to look at him. Xie Chongguan had no acquaintance with him. When he saw Sheng Yan, he just smiled politely.
Sheng Yan, slightly unhappy, handed the candied strawberry in his hand to Feng Qing. "I bought this candied strawberry for you."
"What a coincidence?" Instead of taking the candied strawberry from his hand, Feng Qing lifted the bag in her other hand.
"Chongguan just bought one for me too."
Chongguan? Are you that familiar?
He glared at Xie Chongguan slightly, snatched the candied strawberry from Feng Qing's hand, tore open the package and stuffed it into his mouth. "I'm craving it too. Mr. Xie won't mind, right?"
Xie Chongguan kept smiling. Seeing him like this, he just waved his hand and said he didn't mind.
"But..." It was one thing that Xie Chongguan didn't mind, but Feng Qing couldn't understand. Since he had one in his own hand, why did he have to grab the one in hers to eat?
"Um! It tastes really good. Mr. Xie has good taste!"
Xie Chongguan was both amused and annoyed by his perfunctory compliment. Not wanting to continue this childishness with him, he had no choice but to say goodbye to Feng Qing first.
After he left, Sheng Yan stopped eating the strawberry and spat a few times angrily. "It doesn't taste good at all. You try mine. I'll go throw this away."
With that, he walked towards the trash can. Feng Qing looked at him unhappily.
"Sheng Yan."
Although her tone was calm, it sent a chill down Sheng Yan's spine.
Sheng Yan immediately stopped his steps towards the trash can. Under Feng Qing's slightly smiling but threatening eyes, he took back the candied strawberry that Xie Chongguan had bought.
Feng Qing rolled her eyes at him and snatched the candied strawberry from his hand. "I really don't know if you're just growing older but not wiser. Acting and talking so childishly in front of others. What do you want others to think of you?"
"What he thinks of me doesn't matter to me. I still want to ask why he sent you home!"
