Chapter 570 – The Vice Versa Is More Believable.
Feng Yu Hao had known his son's determination very well. He knew that once his son was there to decide something, he would attain it at any cost. This had been one of the reasons behind his success all these years. He has also quite liked seeing him this resolute but today, his resoluteness was something becoming his fear.
Seeing him so hell-bent towards the woman was scaring him. Giving a chance to that woman would not have been a problem to him, he would have proposed a fair chance for her and then would have let everyone decide on her. No one would have got the audacity to raise a question at his decision.
But what distressed him more was that, given her scandalous and complicated past life, he was doubtful that even after she gets to prove her merits, none relative would accept her in the way they should. And their lack of acceptance would be something that would make them ultimately go suspicious of Feng Shufen's decisions and choices in the latter days.
Seeing how the situation was going out of his control, Feng Yu Hao gritted his teeth, before clenching his fists at the side to hold his anger. With Feng Shufen around, he has never lost his temper. But seeing his arrogance and protectiveness towards that woman, he doubted he would be able to hold it for longer.
"You can erase her scandalous past but how do you think you can explain the existence of that little one in her life, Li Wei?" He worded out, restraining himself. He has never thought to bring up the topic of the little girl in the middle of all their discussion but except that he felt no other choice left at the moment. "Are you also going to nullify her presence or are you planning to erase her too?"
At those words, Feng Shufen steps halted while Feng Yi Lan also shot up from her seat to retort the irrational thing her father was speaking of.
"Father, what are you telling? Can you not bring the little kid into all this? She is innocent and doesn't deserve to be talked like this".
The old man also knew this. That little one was really too innocent and doesn't deserve to be in the talks like this. But if bringing her in the talks could make his son understand the seriousness of the things then he felt no remorse for it, not like the little girl was around to hear all this. "Stay silent and don't teach me the things". He retaliated back, making his daughter come forward more with a huff.
But just before Feng Yi Lan could say more, she was held back by her elder sister, who shook her head at her asking her to curb her words for later.
"What? Have you not thought about her yet?" Feng Yu Hao probed again, turning slightly to look at his son. He thought that finally with his words, he would tend to understand his concern and seriousness of the situation but nothing seemed to change in the demeanour of the Feng Shufen at front. He still remained standing there nonchalantly, with his back towards them and hands tucked inside his pant's pockets.
"Shufen, have you even heard what I am asking you? Even if you explain her past, how are you going to explain the existence of her daughter?"
At his third instigation, Feng Shufen turned around slowly, only to match his father's aged eyes with his cold, resolute ones. "From when do fathers start to explain the existence of their kids to the world?"
The silence again fell in the room as Feng Yi Lan hands flew to gold within the gasp of surprise. If possible, she would not have hesitated in jumping up and down but in a situation like this, it would only become too much of an exaggeration.
"What did you say?" Feng Yu Hao instantly raised his voice. That was the end of his patience. "Shufen, just by letting a kid call you her father doesn't make you one. Nor by making her learn all your antics and ways would make the world recognize her as your daughter. She doesn't have the blood of Fengs, so in no way there would be anyone accepting her to be your daughter".
"Your father is saying right, Shufen" At this moment a voice came to support the old man as Zhen Qinrou made her way into the mansion. She was satisfied with her timing. She has not missed such an important show. "You can't just randomly take any child as your kid."
Feng Shufen shortly turned to glance at the woman. As usual his face not giving away the displeasure he was feeling inside. The woman smiled at him in understanding but instead of getting a response from him, she saw him reverting his gaze back to front. She was about to add more of her words to explain her previous phrase, but she could even begin, she heard his words come all unswerving.
"The world can never be concerned until and unless the father accepts a child to be his. And I accept her as my daughter" He said with unwavering words and expressions. Then turning around, he left. But that was not before he passed a cold, dreading glare to Zhen Qinrou, who almost staggered on her footing in response.
Feng Yi Ran smiled like a proud mother while Feng Yi Lan was also satisfied with her brother's unyielding attitude.
The old man felt his whole body tremble in anger while his face also flushed red in agitation. He had never known his son was this stubborn until now. He has always thought of him to be far-sighted enough to draw the right inferences. Then how could he not understand the implications of all this?
Feng Yu Hao grasped his chest as he felt a slight ache on the left side, seeing his son walk away. Feng Yi Ran at once walked forwards to hold him while Zhen Qinrou also called in panic in concern of her husband, but his son not once looked back at him.
"Ridiculous! This is just ridiculous. Do you think this is child's play? From when did the relationship start establishing this way? That woman must have cast some spell on you to make you bend like this in favour of her. How cunning she must be to play such a big trick to trap Feng Shufen, the President of Feng Internationals"
He shouted from behind, in hope that even for once, his son would turn to look at him but it felt like it was his fault to take his unconcerned business talks to be his forgiveness. His son has never cared to forgive him for the past and seemed like he would never will. Not like he could complain. He deserved it. But that would never make him abandon thinking about the well being of his son.
He was busy contemplating his thoughts when heard Yi Lan say from the side, "Father don't take me wrong. But do you really think it is my Li Xue, who created traps to trap my brother and not the other way round? Because as far as I have the information, the vice versa is more believable."
