Chapter 945: Chapter 927: Pu Wenhua Awaits Huo Feng’s Arrival! (38)
Ye Xi went upstairs, saying he wanted to call his mother to report this matter.
Pu Sangzhi, Pu Wenhua, and Chen Huifen stood at the staircase watching him go up...
Seeing him so quiet, with a somewhat lonely and gentle figure, the three of them didn’t know what to say.
Pu Sangzhi was even a bit puzzled, "Dad, Brother Ye Xi doesn’t seem very happy?"
Pu Wenhua sighed, shook his head, and said, "That kid is sensitive. He might be overthinking it. But this is indeed a good thing. That woman is the enemy who harmed our two families! Finally, she was arrested and brought to justice. If the law can punish her severely, it would also comfort Jianbing’s spirit."
"Yes, indeed..."
Chen Huifen nodded, "Jianbing was driven to suicide by that woman. We were also forced to live in poverty by her. Xiaosang almost couldn’t continue her studies. If it weren’t for Xiaofeng and Teacher Huo insisting on helping us back then, Xiaosang wouldn’t have what she has today... That woman is the source of all disasters, and she must be punished thoroughly!"
Pu Wenhua akimboed and nodded, speaking earnestly, "Don’t worry, I’ll hire the best lawyer and stack as many charges on her as possible, to make sure she rots in prison!"
"By the way..."
Pu Wenhua suddenly remembered something and turned to Pu Sangzhi, "Sangzhi, I haven’t really talked to you about your affairs. Are things progressing too fast with that Huo Feng in school?"
Pu Sangzhi didn’t know why the topic suddenly shifted to her. As soon as Pu Wenhua asked, she became instantly apprehensive, taking a breath and tightening her lips...
"Why do you have this expression?"
Pu Wenhua found her expression suspicious, "Have you done something with him? Are you being reckless?"
"No!"
Pu Sangzhi shook her head vigorously, straightforwardly denying, "I’ve never crossed that line with him. He respects me a lot."
"How much respect is a lot? He hasn’t asked you to go to a hotel or anything, right?" Pu Wenhua wasn’t shy, directly asking.
Of course, Pu Sangzhi shook her head!
So, she forced herself to tell the second lie of her life, "Even if we went to a hotel, we always had separate rooms. We never crossed that line, no..."
"That’s good."
Only then did Pu Wenhua withdraw his scrutinizing gaze and said, "I wonder how long that kid can hold out... Are you two steady now?"
"Huh?"
Pu Sangzhi was slightly taken aback, "Steady, very steady."
She figured her father was probably asking if their relationship was stable now, right?
"That’s good too."
Pu Wenhua didn’t say anything negative, just sighed deeply and said, "I’m also an incompetent father. I can’t help but watch over him. If only I had a bit more time, I would meet him and his parents."
At this moment, Pu Sangzhi felt a bit touched, "Dad, he should be coming over soon..."
"Who?" Pu Wenhua furrowed his brows.
Pu Sangzhi softly reminded, "Huo Feng should be coming over soon. He said he’s taking the driving test tomorrow... After finishing he’ll take the final test and come over after getting his license..."
Huo Feng’s experience in getting a driver’s license this time was indeed brief!
He spent a little over a day completing the hours required for the first test, crammed for the test, and passed it in one go.
Afterward, he spent about a week practicing for the second test.
On the second day of his studies, his coach had already reported him to queue for the second test, so he only learned the second test operations for a week before taking the test.
He immediately registered for the third test after completing the second. His third test is tomorrow...
Primarily because he is a student, he was given preferential treatment during the winter break, so the queue was quick.
Plus, he was eager, and his coach was familiar with the system, so all the procedures were expedited...
Huo Feng was eagerly rushing to get to Pu Sangzhi’s side!
Pu Sangzhi had also been chatting with Huo Feng these days, and would update him on her daily activities...
However, these things were certainly unknown to Pu Wenhua.
Pu Wenhua, having heard that Huo Feng would be coming over soon, held some anticipation for the boy.
But he couldn’t show too much anticipation, so he just pretended to be calm and said, "If he’s coming, let him come. It’s good to spend the New Year. Just think, the first time I met him was during the New Year too. I wonder if he’s still as reckless as he was the first time."
Pu Wenhua always remembered the situation during his first meeting with Huo Feng.
On the night of New Year’s Eve, Huo Feng had a car accident, and Pu Wenhua found him, then took him to the hospital.
Thanks to Huo Feng, Pu Wenhua and Pu Sangzhi met that night...
Anyway, Pu Wenhua’s first impression of Huo Feng wasn’t bad, but it wasn’t particularly good either.
Later, most of what Pu Wenhua knew about Huo Feng came from what Chen Huifen said.
Chen Huifen said a lot of good things about Huo Feng, letting Pu Wenhua know what a good kid Huo Feng was. So, Pu Wenhua’s impression of Huo Feng now isn’t bad, or he wouldn’t be looking forward to Huo Feng’s visit.
"He’s a lot more mature now."
Pu Sangzhi also spoke well of Huo Feng, "After starting university, he’s really matured a lot. He’s no longer as impulsive as before, and he’s very measured in how he speaks and acts."
"That’s good."
Pu Wenhua said, "I was worried he’d never grow up and would end up burdening you."
"I’m not burdened."
Pu Sangzhi shook her head, "Dad, you should spend more time with him. You’ll come to like him."
Pu Wenhua could tell, his daughter really liked that boy...
Pu Wenhua was never a parent who could sever ties easily, so in his heart, he had already accepted Huo Feng as his son-in-law.
"Alright, let’s say that then! Let’s eat first..." Pu Wenhua waved his hand and said.
"The meal isn’t ready yet," said Chen Huifen.
"Brother Ye Xi hasn’t come down either," acknowledged Pu Sangzhi.
Pu Wenhua paused for a moment, "Alright, then I’ll just sit and wait."
Chen Huifen hurriedly said, "I’ll get you some chopsticks, you can start with some dishes."
Pu Wenhua nodded, "Thank you for your hard work."
Chen Huifen said, "It’s nothing."
Pu Sangzhi glanced once more towards the direction of the second floor, then turned to ask Pu Wenhua, "Dad, can I tell Xiaocao the news?"
"Of course, you can!"
Pu Wenhua nodded decisively, "That woman ruined the Ye Family, it’s perfectly fine to let them know this!"
"Okay, I’ll tell Xiaocao right away."
Pu Sangzhi then took out her phone and immediately sent a WeChat message to Ye Qingcao.
...
At that time, on the second floor, Ye Xi had already called his mother Xu Hui to tell her the news.
On the phone, Xu Hui was so angry that she gnashed her teeth, repeatedly saying "serves them right!"...
Afterwards, Xu Hui spent a considerable amount of time on the phone angrily cursing Ye Jianbing...
Ye Xi silently listened, absorbing Xu Hui’s anger.
When Xu Hui had almost vented all her feelings, she calmed down and sighed with regret, "Alas! It’s a pity I’m not there, otherwise I would want to confront that bitch and slap her twice!"
In fact, one could still hear the heavy resentment emanating from Xu Hui.
"Mom..."
It wasn’t until Xu Hui finished cursing that Ye Xi quietly opened his mouth and let out a long sigh, saying, "Mom... we owe Uncle Pu, we’ll never be able to repay him this lifetime..."
"Yes, we owe the Pu Family a lot."
Upon mentioning this, Xu Hui also let out a long sigh, "So you must strive hard, and in the future, when you’re capable, you must give back to your Uncle Pu! He is such a good person! Over the years, he’s taken care of us so much. And Sangzhi and Huifen, they’ve almost been ruined by our family, alas... I’m even embarrassed to settle this account."
"Mmm..."
Ye Xi hung his head low, his voice was very downcast, as if he didn’t even have the energy to respond.
"Xiaoxi, can you face that bitch tomorrow?"
Xu Hui asked again, "If you can’t handle it, let your Uncle Pu speak up! He’ll definitely teach that bitch a lesson, you’re too kind-hearted!"
Ye Xi softly sighed in response, "Okay..."
Gradually, Xu Hui also realized he was not in a good state...
She instantly understood his reaction and couldn’t help but soften her tone, saying, "Xiaoxi, don’t think too much. Your dad, he brought it on himself! Don’t feel sorry for him. It wasn’t that bitch who deceived your dad; it’s your dad who willingly got deceived, don’t overthink it... Even if your dad is stupid, he’s paid the price. Sigh... I don’t know what I’m saying, should I come over?"
"No need..."
Ye Xi replied, "There’s no need for you to come... Come over when the lawsuit starts..."
"Then..."
Xu Hui thought for a moment and said, "I’ll come over later then. I’m tied up with the new shop now..."
Ye Xi replied, "Yeah. I’ll hang up now."
Xu Hui said, "Alright, don’t be too sad, Xiaoxi..."
Ye Xi: "Mmm."
So...
The call ended just like that.
After hanging up, Ye Xi let out a long sigh...
The woman was caught...
He was indeed happy.
However, seeing that woman, he couldn’t help but think of his father...
In fact...
The day his father and mother signed the divorce agreement, Ye Xi overheard his father’s conversation with the lawyer...
The lawyer said that in the event of a divorce, his father could keep Ye Xi.
But his father said, the company wasn’t doing well, let both children go with her. That way, in case I fail, no debts would be left for them...
That conversation was overheard by Ye Xi alone at the time...
He kept it in his heart for many years, not daring to tell anyone.
Because of this, his guilt towards the family... was deep!
Because in the end, all the debts were piled onto the Pu Family...
Sangzhi and her mother... suffered tremendously!
