Luosang was puzzled at first, then said, “Ms. Feng, I a.s.sume you haven’t gotten in touch with my mother for a long time. She pa.s.sed away due to sickness when I was two.”
“That’s impossible. Your mother is very healthy. How could she have possibly pa.s.sed away?” Feng Ge shook her head and said, “Think about it. You and Shengxu are the same age. When you were two, I met your mother once when bringing Shengxu to the hospital for an infusion. She came out from the antenatal care on the first floor. I asked her if she was pregnant, but she didn’t answer my question.”
“So I might have a brother or sister?” Luosang was so excited that her entire body trembled. It was the first time she had heard so much about her mother. “Why didn’t my father tell me all of this?”
Feng Ge snorted and said, “Your father is really not a decent man. I know the reason though. After all, your mother is an orphan.”
Luosang had heard from her father that her mother was an orphan. However, she didn’t understand why Feng Ge kept criticizing her father. “Did my father do something bad to my mother?” she asked.
“I get it. How could your father be shameless enough to tell his daughter about what had happened?” said Feng Ge. “There are things that you don’t know. When your father met your mother, he wasn’t a school president. Instead, he was a professor from Changing University. Your mother was his student. Back then, your father was young and promising, graceful, gentle, and elegant. Seriously, many students had a crush on him. Mo Jin fell in love with Xu Zhengxuan at that time.”
All sorts of feelings well up in Feng Ge’s mind when she recalled the past. “Mojin was ruled by n.o.body and had no fears. She pursued your father, and she succeeded. Before graduating from university, she was pregnant with you. I’ve thought about it later. I think that’s the reason why Xu Zhengxuan transferred to An City not long after that. After all, it’d be bad for his reputation if people found out that he was with his student. After graduation, I started my career in An City. I worked in a drama club. Maybe it was because we were in about the same circle, but I heard some news about your father… It was said that your father had an affair with a student in his department. They often went to places together as a couple. I even met that woman once. Her last name is Chu, but I can’t remember her first name. She was pretty. At that time, everybody in the circle knew that.”
Luosang was too shocked to say anything.
She always thought that her father was pa.s.sionately devoted to her mother, and never knew that these unhappy stories had happened between them.
Had her father been lying to her the whole time?
“So, I wasn’t surprised at all when I heard about Xu Zhengxuan’s recent scandal,” Feng Ge gave a cold smile, saying, “Being infatuated with young girls is the deep-rooted bad habit of every man. But I didn’t think that he’d get that shameless.”
“Mom, language.” Chi Shengxu slightly pushed Feng Ge.
Feng Ge coughed and continued, “In fact, your mother was a girl with few friends. It might have had something to do with her environment in which she grew in. She dared to love and hate, and she was bad-tempered. As a girl, she would actually hit the people who offended her. She often worked in bars and Internet cafes. She never got along with the other girls, plus she was pretty, and many boys pursued her. So, the girls were jealous of her. They excluded her from the group. I wasn’t like those girls because once, on my way back home from school, I was hara.s.sed by some boys, and your mother helped me. I was grateful to her. I knew that she was a very kind person. In my impression, she was very healthy. She rarely caught a cold. I don’t believe that she died from a sickness.”
“Ms. Feng, have you ever heard from my mother recently?” Luosang asked.
Feng Ge shook her head and responded with, “Later on, I became a star. I traveled all over the world with my troupe to perform. I never saw her again. When I was back, I tried to reach her, but her number disconnected. None of our cla.s.smates had ever seen her again.”
