Lest they end up with nothing.
“President Lu is here, you go ahead.”
Upon entering the hotel, Hai Ling saw Lu Dongming slowly approaching.
His two bodyguards followed behind, pushing the wheelchair.
People coming and going in the hotel gave Lu Dongming a second glance.
The lobby manager offered to assist him, but Lu Dongming declined.
Hai Ling took a few deep breaths and said to Feng Qing, “Call me if anything comes up. Good luck.”
“Thank you!”
Feng Qing smiled gratefully. “We’ll all have good luck.”
Hai Ling walked toward Lu Dongming.
Feng Qing turned to leave.
“Dongming.”
Hai Ling went to support Lu Dongming. “Let’s go home.”
Lu Dongming let her help him, and the couple slowly walked out together.
“Miss Feng left.”
“Yes, she didn’t tell me, but I reckon it’s tonight. The three Zheng brothers finished work as usual this evening, no overtime. Everything assigned to them is done.”
Lu Dongming said quietly, “There are a few other helpers, two of whom are the biological brothers of that fake Feng heiress.”
Hai Ling stayed silent.
Once they left the hotel and got into the car, Hai Ling sighed. “Feng Qing is a good girl, but her family ties are thin. Her adoptive parents’ family treated her poorly.”
“Back with her biological parents, her father and three brothers can’t accept her from the heart. Even her mother, if not for clinging to the Feng family’s century-old rule of passing to daughters, not sons, wouldn’t treat her much better.”
Feng Yue’s later kindness to Feng Qing was to give her a way out, planning to send her away to protect her only daughter.
It was all because Feng Yue was bound by the Feng family’s century-old rule. Feng Qing was her biological daughter, the only one who could inherit and lead the Feng clan.
Feng Ruo, despite over twenty years of nurturing, wasn’t of Feng blood and couldn’t inherit.
Her three sons lacked both ability and eligibility under the family rule.
That’s why she valued Feng Qing.
If the Feng family had no such rule, Feng Qing, even back with her biological parents, wouldn’t be valued. Their hearts leaned toward Feng Ruo.
After all, Feng Ruo grew up with them, sharing over twenty years of bond.
Feng Qing was a sudden returnee, with no emotional connection.
Even now, Zheng Hua and his sons still thought of Feng Ruo. If they acted against Feng Qing, it might be to avenge Feng Ruo.
Feng Ruo wasn’t killed by Feng Qing, but her downfall stemmed from Feng Qing’s return, which stripped her of everything she had.
Her reckless provocation of Feng Qing led to her fate, with Feng Qing subtly fueling it.
Hai Ling and her side stood with Feng Qing, naturally seeing her as the just one.
Zheng Yifan and his side stood with Feng Ruo, viewing Feng Qing as ruthless and vicious.
In the end, human hearts are biased, and fairness is a myth in this world.
Lu Dongming said, “She’s had a bitter start but will find sweetness later. Her life will be happy. Mr. Fang has eyes and heart only for her, loyal forever, never abandoning her.”
“As for family ties, she’s probably long given up on them.”
