Chapter 566 - A MEDICAL EXAMINATION (1/2)

When Hu Lei and Zhong Feng went into the house, they found Zhong Tian and Chu Ling drinking tea in the living room. Their demeanour was dignified and austere as usual. Hu Lei did not hold any grudges over the past issues.

However, she was still not close to them.

”Mother, Father, good evening.” She greeted calmly.

She had gotten used to using a formal tone when talking to them, just like Zhong Feng. It was a little amusing for her to try to emulate Ah-Feng's mannerisms. However, she was never disrespectful to them since they were her in-laws.

”Xiao Lei, we thought that you were not around.” Chu Ling said with a smile.

”I was just working out a little. It is important to maintain good health.” Hu Lei responded.

If Beatrice heard the casual words, she would be mad. It was obviously life and death training. Even though Hu Lei never attacked, her stamina and ability to dodge was a testament to her abilities.

”That is quite true.” Chu Ling said. ”I just recently joined a new yoga class. You should join me sometime. But I must warn you, it is quite challenging.”

”I look forward to your invitation.” Hu Lei nodded politely, even though she was sure that the class would probably be too easy for her.

”How about we make a date for next week?” Chu Ling asked.

She wanted to try to build a better relationship with Hu Lei. They got along well, but she was envious of her friends who were close with their daughters or daughters-in-law. She had both, yet she was always alone during outings.

Zhong Mian had started a new business, so she was busy. She spent her spare time with Kong Ou and his daughter, being the perfect stepmother. She did not show up for dinners at the old house frequently, except for special occasions.

As for Hu Lei, she lived outside of Supreme City, and she rarely left Azure Woods. The chances for bonding with her and eliminating the bad feelings from the olden days were few. Therefore, their interaction remained distant.

”Oh, I would love to, but I am not going to be in Supreme City for a while.” Hu Lei said politely.

Chu Ling pursed her lips with some annoyance. She felt like Hu Lei was someone who kept grudges unnecessarily. They had cleared the air, but her daughter-in-law was still unwilling to give her face. She avoided her despite the olive branch.

”Are you going on an expedition somewhere?” Zhong Tian spoke up with a strange hint of sarcasm for an old man. ”It is better to remain in Supreme City with Zhong Feng. Being away from home for too long is not good.”

Even though the words sounded alright, Hu Lei could tell that Zhong Tian wanted to bring up the old incident. Her disappearance for those years was not something her father-in-law could forget, despite his understanding that it was out of Hu Lei's control.

However, Hu Lei felt annoyed by the implication that she wanted to leave Zhong Feng.

Obviously, Zhong Feng was the apple of her eye. She was never willing to see him suffer even the smallest grievance. Why did she still seem fickle to them?

”Father, Hu Lei is going to Herb Town to have Wang Lei checked out.” Zhong Feng had a warning in his eyes.

”Is there something wrong with Wang Lei?” Chu Ling stood up in horror.
