Chapter 578: No, Something’s Wrong!
Old Six has no interest in his mother’s schemes, picked up a coat from the sofa, and headed out: "Got plans with friends, going out for a bit."Since his funds were frozen by Feng Huaijin, he couldn’t buy his luxury car, so Old Six simply arranged to hang out with some questionable friends and entertain himself with other things.
Several snowfalls had occurred as winter began in An City, and the river was already frozen, attracting quite a few visitors.
Maybe he’d even meet some girls.
Xue Xin watched her son care only about leisure, so angry she felt pain in her liver. After pondering, she grabbed her bag and headed to the Feng Family mansion.
She traversed the winding corridors and entered the courtyard behind the rockery, where she immediately spotted Madam Feng sitting at the table looking at old photographs.
The photograph showed two young women wearing fashionable clothes from over twenty years ago, sporting big wavy curls and Hong Kong-style makeup, looking exceptionally beautiful. The two women were holding hands like affectionate sisters, smiling sweetly at the camera.
Xue Xin caught a glimpse and exclaimed with surprise: "Looking at old photos? These women look a bit familiar."
Upon noticing Xue Xin enter, Madam Feng discreetly put the album away, softly asking, "Why did you come?"
Interrupted by Madam Feng, Xue Xin gently sat down beside her, unable to hide her smug tone, lightly chuckling: "Madam’s sister never liked going out, did you know, in Jiangzhou Prefecture’s Seventh Young Master...tsk tsk, doesn’t cherish his body at all, just jumped into the river to save someone recklessly."
Madam Feng’s expression shifted slightly, a touch surprised: "Huaijin jumped into the river to save someone?"
She knew her son well, definitely not one to be a good Samaritan, except unless...
Madam Feng seemed to figure something out, relaxing again.
Seeing Madam Feng’s changing expression, Xue Xin felt immensely pleased, hinting with a smile: "Ah, young people nowadays just don’t take care of their bodies. If the Master knew, he’d probably reprimand Huaijin again, right? How could Old Seven be entrusted with the Feng Family’s substantial inheritance then?"
Madam Feng chuckled lightly, understanding Xue Xin’s intent.
Causing trouble, whether Feng Huaijin threw tantrums at the police station or in front of the Family Head, he wouldn’t gain anything from it.
This woman came here to boast, making Feng Huaijin suffer silently indeed.
Looking at the inattentive Madam Feng, Xue Xin felt her boastful words like punching cotton; she didn’t care at all!
Xue Xin felt breathlessly angry, discomfort choking her throat.
At that moment, a servant rushed in from outside the courtyard, gasping for breath: "Mrs. Xin, it’s, it’s terrible!"
Xue Xin looked bewildered, a sense of foreboding gripping her: "What’s terrible?"
The servant slapped his thigh fiercely in frustration, urgently saying: "Sixth Young Master! Sixth Young Master and friends went to play on the ice lake, who knew the ice wasn’t solid and he fell right in!"
"Sixth Young Master doesn’t know how to swim, fell in and immediately froze stiff, now he’s been rescued and taken to the hospital; it’s reported his condition is quite serious, almost having difficulty breathing, approaching shock!"
Xue Xin turned suddenly pale, looking at the servant in disbelief, screaming aloud: "What...what did you say? Xiao Liu fell into the ice hole? My son——"
Moments ago, her arrogance vanished completely, leaving Xue Xin panicked and flustered.
Madam Feng sat beside her, sipped her hot tea lightly, and chuckled: "You were right, Xue Xin, young people nowadays just don’t take care of their bodies. How will Old Six inherit the little family estate in the Future?"
