"That b.a.s.t.a.r.d is my father... He"s my own father! My own real father!" She finally blurted out the truth with heart wrenching cry. This was her most hurtful past --- even more hurtful that her episodes with Lu Ming Cheng. She was abandoned by her real father.Out of all the possibilities that he had thought of... nothing came out to be right. The one who wanted to kill her was actually her real father?! What kind of joke was this? Lu Yi Feng couldn"t help but look at the woman in surprise...
However, he could only see the truth from her clear gaze and the hurt was also evident. Lu Yi Feng could only helplessly sigh.
He wondered whether she made a grave mistake somewhere or not... Or... was there another reason? Why did a father want to kill her own daughter?!
No matter what, he would protect her! Even if the perpetrator was her own father! However, he still needed to get the bottom of their conflicts...
"Why?" Lu Yi Feng couldn"t help but ask. He needed to know the reason to protect her...
Feng Xiao Qing stared at nothing and she suddenly wailed like a baby. Lu Yi Feng felt helpless, but he could only pat her back softly. He really wanted to hug her, really... really... wanted. But... he couldn"t. This was the part that made him feel that he wasn"t suitable to be in a relations.h.i.+p and he would stay single forever. He had the heart to comfort the woman, but the only thing he could do was patting the part where she had her clothes on.
So pathetic...
And so f*cked up!
Lu Yi Feng could only sigh in despair. He dared to show his emotion, because he knew the woman was too intoxicated to realize what happened around her. She even wanted to jump into his arms for a few times, but he was able to dodge it stealthily. He really wanted to try whether he would be able to touch her without his illness flaring up, but he didn"t dare to.
It was better to be safe than sorry later.
Feng Xiao Qing laughed mirthless and answered, "The funny thing is... I also don"t understand the reasons why he"s doing this to me..."
Feng Xiao Qing"s mind trailed back to her painful past. She didn"t want to reminisce it, but still the scenes were played in her mind one by one.
Lu Yi Feng furrowed her eyebrows and asked, "How could a father do that without any rhymes or reasons?"
Feng Xiao Qing said, "Do you know the cliche story of Cinderella?"
"Of course..." Lu Yi Feng said.
"I"m the daughter of his first wife, but somehow, he hates me..." Feng Xiao Qing said.
Then, she started to explain slowly. She used to be the princess of the house, however, after her mother"s death... his father turned into another person and he looked at her in disdain. It became worst when he finally found a new wife --- they loved to torment her... However, she later found out that the new wife had been with him for a long time.
That woman was his mistress.
"However... there"s no reason for him to still haunt you..." Lu Yi Feng noticed that there were only her and Xiao Xi Xi all along, so she must have been cut her ties with them.
"I guess... because he finally finds me..." Feng Xiao Qing answered. "I ran away from home when I was ten..."
Lu Yi Feng looked at her in surprise. "At ten years old? She was so young back then?! How could she survive until now?" There were so many questions but he didn"t dare to ask. He wanted her to tell him at her own pace.
"You already have no connection with him the moment you ran away... but why suddenly he did this?" Lu Yi Feng asked.
"That"s what I want to know too... I already told you... I don"t know why too!" Feng Xiao Qing said while hiccuping.
Lu Yi Feng couldn"t really understand the full story --- because she only talked bits and pieces... there were so many loopholes and seemed to be farfetched. However, it didn"t mean that he didn"t believe her. He just couldn"t get the complete pictures of her past because she talked in mumble jumble sequences. He decided to ask when she was on the verge of pa.s.sing out, "What"s your father name?"
Lu Yi Feng decided that it was better for him to start investigating from his father"s side, after all, they couldn"t gather information about her past. He started to realize that if she ran away, there would be no way to track her down when she lived all alone by herself. It seemed like they looked into the wrong thing from the start.
He had a hunch that her father must have been a powerful person.
