488 Jiang Fei’s Decision (1/2)

After ending the call with Han Tianyu, Jiang Fei went straight home. There, sitting on the couch was Yang Po alone. Yang Qing was nowhere in sight.

”Where's my mother?” asked Jiang Fei as his heart sank a little.

”Little Qing is out with your mother, doing some grocery shopping,” said Yang Po. Only then did Jiang Fei sit down. He was so scared that he might have been too late and his mother had been kidnapped by the Soaring Cloud Sect.

”I heard the news. I don't know if you are directly involved in the death of Ye Zhangfa, but I'm sure that the Soaring Cloud Sect would not make a move on your parents,” said Yang Po.

”Urgh!” Jiang Fei ruffled his hair. He felt guilty for so many reasons but he was frustrated at one thing. He was too weak. If only he had been stronger, none of this would have happened!

At this moment, the door opened and his mother and Yang Qing came in laughing.

”Oh! Ah Fei! You're back so early today! Your father just called home, saying that he will be back soon!” said his mother happily, not knowing that her son had so much trouble on his plate.

Jiang Fei's father was an important figure in the Manda Group. He was hired by Han Tianyu since Jiang Fei had asked him to. He was not sure which department his father was in but when the boss of the company had handpicked someone for hire, the man should be someone important! Even though Jiang Fei's father had been in the company for only a short while, he had been given many important responsibilities. In a way, his father thought that the company had high hopes for him. Hence, he wanted to repay by working harder than usual. It had been days since he came home for dinner.

That was the reason why Jiang Fei's mother was happy when his father had called to inform that he would be coming back early to have dinner. That was why she had Yang Qing help her with groceries. She was preparing to celebrate with a fancy dinner.

”Is that right?” said Jiang Fei as he forced a smile. Of course he knew that his father would be coming back today. It was his doing after all.

After an hour or so, Jiang Fei's father arrived home.

”How was your day?” asked Jiang Fei as he quickly came to him and welcomed his father home.

”Good day, uncle!” said Yang Po and Yang Qing to greet him. They were being very polite.

”Ah Fei, who are our guests?” asked his father. Jiang Fei's father had not been home for several days, hence he did not know that the two had already moved in.

”They're my classmates. They live opposite our house. Since their parents are not staying with them, mom thought that it would be best to have them stay with us. To liven up the mood.”

”I see. Alright, you're still young and growing. Remember this. Your priority must always be to study!” said his father. Even though he was not direct, it was obvious that he was warning Jiang Fei to not waste time on dating.

”Uncle Jiang! You must be tired. Here! Have a glass of water first!” said Yang Qing as she ran to the kitchen to fetch a glass of water. If there was a scoreboard, Yang Qing would definitely be at the top as the best child in the house.

”Thank you,” said Jiang Fei's father. He placed his briefcase on the floor and sat down. He did not say anything as he sipped the water. He was not in a good mood. He had already prepared and planned his workload for the day but the head of the department had suddenly come in, fired him, and sent him home immediately.

It was a shock to Jiang Fei's father. He had always thought that he was an important cog in the company. How would he feel when he suddenly received such devastating news out of the blue!

The truth was simple. Han Tianyu had arranged for Jiang Fei's father to stop working for an indefinite duration and leave the company to return home at once. That was the proper message left by Han Tianyu. He had feared that if Jiang Fei's father was still in the company working until the day ended, he might be attacked or kidnapped by the people of the Soaring Cloud Sect. Han Tianyu was unable to be the one to directly talk to Jiang Fei's father, so he had to leave a memo to his secretary and the message had made its way down the hierarchy. The problem was the message was twisted along the way. By the time the message had reached the head of the department, he had misunderstood that ”stop working for an indefinite duration” meant firing.

That sudden loss of his job naturally made him unhappy.

Jiang Fei did not really care much about his job as long as both of his parents were in the house safely.
