Chapter 462: V347:
When the news reached Feng Chengjin.Inside the car, Feng Chengjin was leaving with his eyes closed, his heart torn as if being devoured by a giant albatross in a stormy sea.
In fact, no matter how well he disguised his feelings, he told Qin Nuo that there was something more important to handle now.
The concern and pain in his heart could not deceive anyone.
But he had no choice.
If the trip to Beijing went smoothly, if he could stabilize things in Beijing before Gu Qingfeng encountered trouble, perhaps he could gain the Gu Family’s forgiveness, and Gu Zixuan might never have to know certain things. They could take a step towards a better future, right?
But now...
With a self-deprecating smile, he realized not only that he wouldn’t get forgiveness, but also that the situation forced him to wait for Gu Zixuan’s countdown to know the truth. After all, under these circumstances, it was impossible to hide it any longer...
But Zixuan, the Gu Family...
Feng Chengjin’s eyes showed a hint of sadness.
Thinking of those times he was isolated, the cold atmosphere.
Then thinking about after this matter was over, the attitude he would face from the Gu Family... Gu Zixuan’s eyes filled with misunderstanding at the door, and the gesture in the room of pulling away from his hand...
Finally, Feng Chengjin closed his eyes.
He smiled more forlornly, rubbing his temples without any hope.
Never had he felt so exhausted from being tossed by fate.
For the third time, a small misstep away...
Feng Chengjin rested his head on the car window, contemplating with sadness the slim possibilities for the future, calculating them bit by bit.
Pausing for a moment, accompanied by a soft beep from the phone in front, Qin Nuo, driving, glanced at Feng Chengjin’s backup phone.
Then, driving with one hand, he handed it over, "President, someone named ’Xi’ is looking for you."
Feng Chengjin paused, took it, and inside, ’Xi’ had sent him a message.
[Light and Shadow, are you there? Our family encountered a little problem. I don’t know how to resolve it. I want to talk to you.]
Feng Chengjin barely curled his lips, returning calmly and indifferently, [What do you want to talk about?]
After sending the message, Feng Chengjin put down the phone and looked at the scenery outside.
He seemed to foresee what Gu Zixi would say, hence he held no hope, only desolation.
Only...
Unexpectedly soon, Gu Zixi replied, [Something happened to our family today. The man who likes my sister came today. My parents, uncle, all hoped he would help, but he didn’t agree, leaving the family angry, and my sister very sad.]
Feng Chengjin chuckled and replied, [Is that so? It’s quite disappointing, quite infuriating.]
Gu Zixi: [But I don’t see it that way.]
Feng Chengjin paused, rested his fingers with a hint of stillness, [Then how do you see it?]
[I think he must have his own reasons, and very significant ones.]
"..." Feng Chengjin was momentarily speechless.
For a long time, thinking of the collective attitude of the Gu Family and the cold gate, he couldn’t type a word for half a day.
Until much later, he finally said: [Having a reason is not a cover for behavior.]
[But having a reason shows he’s not bad at heart, right? And do you believe in a connection at first sight? I’ve seen him, and I think he’s better than Brother-in-law He because of the depth in his eyes when he looks at my sister. I believe he would never do anything to hurt my sister.]
Instantly...
Feng Chengjin fell into a complete loop of silence.
Until the car turned a long bend, merging into traffic.
Finally, after a long while, Feng Chengjin replied: [And if... he really has his reasons, would you want him as your brother-in-law?]
[Yes.] A quick answer made Feng Chengjin turn towards the traffic direction, and in an instant, he finally pressed out a slight curve from the desolation.
