Chapter 69: No intention to give her to you
Feng Mansion
After the conversation that day, as promised, Feng Kang did not come out of his room for two days straight.
His lunch, dinner and breakfast were done in his room. All the other members of the family started to be worried.
At the dinning table, the place of the family's head that belonged to none other than Feng Kang was vacant. For two days, the atmosphere in the Feng Mansion was gloomy and tense.
"Again?" asked Feng Ji with a worried face as he sat on the dinning table for breakfast, his eyes on the Feng Kang's seat.
Feng Shen sighed at his son's words. He tried to do everything he could, but it seemed like there was no end to Feng Kang's stubbornness.
"Where is Feng Jing?" he asked to lighten the atmosphere.
"He did not come home last night. I think he slept in his office." answered Li Lian, gazing at her plate.
"Did you get any information about what Grandfather asked?" Feng Ji asked.
"Not until now. I don't know what to do." said Feng Shen, ashamed.
Feng Ji and Li Lian reacted with silence.
" Our last option is Zhou Shuang. But I don't think she will tell us" continued Feng Shen.
"L-Let's visit her." said Li Lian, suddenly surprising both Feng Shen and Feng Ji."
"H-how can we-" Feng Shen was cut off by Li Lian. " We are going to Wen Mansion, that's it" she said.
"Ok, then let's go" said Feng Shen with a helpless expression.
…..
Wen Mansion
Madam Wen was in her study room, sitting on her desk, looking out of the window deep in thought.
The papers were scattered on the desk, waiting to be read, but it seemed like Madam Wen's intention was not so.
'My mother died due to cancer when I was eight. My father could not see me alone so he decided to remarry. My step mother was a divorcee who already had a daughter from her previous marriage.
When I was eighteen my father passed and I was forced to leave my house under the pressure of my stepmother
When I was in my last year of school my family faced a crisis and my father died and so I didn't have the chance to enroll in a medical university.'
Madam Wen recalled Wang Yu Yan's words she was told.
Were the things about her family she told her, was it true ? Was it really that her family was no more?
Was it really that her mother and Madam Wen's best friend no more?
It all seems like a dream. And how Madam Wen wished it to be just a mere dream.
How Madam Wen wished that she would go back to the past and undo all this that had happened.
KNOCK
KNOCK
Madam Wen's trail of thoughts were broken by the sudden noise on the door. Gathering all her thoughts , she said, " Enter" while clearing her throat.
The door opened and Butler Kim entered the room, he said, "Madam, Master Feng and Madam Feng are here to see you"
"Huh?...Ok I am coming" said Madam Wen while she got up from her seat.
…
Madam Wen came down to the hall, only to see Feng Shen and Li Lian sitting on the sofa and were attended by the servants.
With an indifferent attitude, Madam Wen said " Brother Shen, Lian ."
Hearing their names, the Feng couple smiled at Madam Wen.
Seeing that they were going to stand, Madam Wen said, " Oh, please sit both of you. No need to treat me like a stranger." as she sat in front of them.
Gesturing Butler Kim, she said, "Butler Kim, Please bring some tea for the guests."
Butler Kim bowed and exited, leaving only Madam Wen and Feng Couple in the hall.
"Shuang, I know that beating around the bush won't do any good, so I will get straight to the point" said Feng Shen with a grave expression.
"Please do so" said Madam Wen with a small smile.
Feng Shen continued "After you left that day, father had locked himself inside his room and refused to come out. The last time we saw him was two days ago when you came.
Last he did so when Feng Mian left home. After he woke up that day he said that he wants a chance to repent over the loss of Feng Mian and so do we."
" If you all had not made that rash decision that day, there should have been no need to repent over the her loss." said Madam Wen with a scoff.
After a pause she continued, "So what should I do?"
"Tell us how you know about Feng Mian's death. Because we did everything but couldn't get anything. So as far I think you must've met her husband or someone from his side." answered Feng Shen.
"..." Madam Wen did not what to say.
Should she tell them or not?
This was the only thought in her mind.
She didn't even know who her husband was. Nor could she tell them about Wang Yu Yan because if she did she would lose Wang Yu Yan's trust on her.
Moreover, she wanted to keep her best friend's last asset to herself. She could not bear to give Wang Yu Yan to the one who was responsible for this state of her.
She was not yet ready to give Wang Yu Yan to them. Also she didn't know anything about her father nor the family nor what caused the death of her best friend.
Seeing that she was quiet, Li Lian became anxious and said " Please Shuang, can you tell us who told you this? We know that we were in the wrong but we should at least get a second chance."
"Please Shuang. Anything you know? Please. A small clue will be fine." Feng Shen said.
Madam Wen sighed. She did not know what to do.
' Feng Mian what should I do?' she thought.
Seeing that she was silent, both Feng Shen and Li Lian were disappointed.
Finally Feng Shen said, " We-"
"Daughter" said Madam Wen.
"Huh?" The Feng couple in unison.
" I happen to get across her daughter. She is Wen Mei's friend" said Madam Wen.
" Her daughter? Means Mian's daughter. Means m-my niece?" asked Feng Shen with her eyes glistening with tears.
" Yes"
" Did you listen Lian, my niece, Mian's daughter" said Feng Shen to Lian with joy.
"Yes, dear." Li Lian said, delighted.
"M-….. Wait so you knew from the start?" Feng Shen said with a grave tone.
To this Madam Wen, just smiled and said, "That's the regret. She was near my eyes and yet I could not make out to her"
"W-What is her name? How is she?" Feng Shen asked.
" Su Yu Yan. She came to the capital by the name Su Yu Yan. She is 24 and is a talented doctor with great potential. Totally like Feng Main but more courageous than her." said Madam Wen with a smile.
"Where can we meet her?" Feng Shen asked.
" I have no intention to give her to you. I will make her clear. Just know that she is fine and happy ."
