141 WE HAVE MISUNDERSTOOD HER (2/2)

She knew that she was doing the right thing for Feng'er. She could not allow a woman who used him so blatantly to remain at his side. She already treated herself as the young madam of the Zhong family. Even when Feng'er was not around, she came casually to their private hospital. Moreover, she came in his car which she could probably not afford with all her meagre earnings.

However, when she thought of getting rid of Hu Lei, there was a feeling of discomfort in her heart. She was not overly superstitious, but she did not want to attract bad luck by being unjust to someone who had been the benefactor of their family.

She had avoided aggressive methods in approaching the girl for this reason. It would not have been too difficult to find her and deal with her. However, would this not make them worse than dogs? Even though the girl was not right for Feng'er, they had to handle the matter properly.

She had sent Chu Fu on behalf of their family to negotiate. Ideally, Hu Lei would receive a small fortune, and Feng'er would be free. It was a clear and fair deal. Unfortunately, things had not gone as planned.

When she got back home, she found her husband and her daughter battling in a game of chess. She looked at the scene with wistfulness. If only that other child was around… She smiled a little bitterly. He would probably not join them. He had always been a quiet and awkward boy, and he had grown into a reserved and cold man.

”How was it?” Zhong Tian looked up and asked her.

She smiled a little because it was a natural reflex. Since she was a girl, she had always smiled at this husband when she saw him.

”There were complications. Chu Fu is in hospital, and he did not get to speak to the girl.” She sighed.

Zhong Tian grunted in understanding while Zhong Mian stiffened marginally.

Chu Ling came closer and sat next to them and observed the game for a while.

”Do you think that we are being unfair to the Hu girl? What if we have misunderstood her?” She had been wondering about this since she had left the hospital.

”The drugging incident could have been an accident. But even if we overlook this matter, what is the explanation for her abandoning our son for three years and appearing out of nowhere like nothing happened? If she had him in her heart, she would never left.” Zhong Tian felt that his wife was too soft-hearted.

Zhong Mian felt her heartbeat accelerate and her palms become sweaty. She wanted to speak up for Hu Lei. She really did. After that dinner, she had realised that Hu Lei's disappearance had not been simple.Moreover, she seemed to care deeply for Feng'er. Also, she had understood that nothing would make her brother let go of the girl.

However, her mouth just refused to move. She did not want Hu Lei and Feng'er to break up, but at the same time, she did not want them to be together. Her reason for this unending internal conflict was her boyfriend, Kong Ou.

On one hand, if Hu Lei broke up with Feng'er, Kong Ou might take advantage to woo her. Even though they had discussed that incident as a couple, she could not feel secure. On the other hand, if they stayed together, they would be one big family. How could she be at peace if Hu Lei would be constantly in the presence of her boyfriend?

She tried to open her mouth, but she found herself unable to speak. As a result, the topic was closed once again, and Hu Lei remained as the villainess with her evil clutches in their innocent and guileless Feng'er.
