At the thought of how Feng Qin had handed over all that gold just now, Yang Lan was so angry that she wanted to curse him for being an idiot. She really didn’t know how there could be such a stupid person in this world. She was simply blind to have fixated on him.
Even before breaking up with him, Yang Lan already felt that her decision to date this Feng man would be a stain on her life. Fortunately, her luck was gradually getting better and better. In a few days, she would be able to dump this man and wouldn’t have to be entangled with him for the rest of her life. If she really married this Feng man in the future, Yang Lan felt that she might as well jump into the river. She couldn’t see the slightest hope of prosperity or a good life with this man.
Feng Qin was a bit surprised. He obviously didn’t expect Yang Lan to be so angry. He was very accommodating when it came to his girlfriend, but there were certain principles that he was very firm about. He didn’t feel that he was in the wrong at all. Of course, he could see that if he comforted Yang Lan with these words, he would make her even angrier. He just said nicely, “Lanlan, that gold isn’t our money, but don’t worry, I’ll definitely give you a good life in the future!”
“Get lost!”
After watching this farce, Feng Yuanlin shook his head and lamented that the two definitely wouldn’t last.
Feng Yuanlin wasn’t a gossipy person. After watching for a while, he was prepared to leave. Before he left, Feng Yuanlin deliberately repeated, “Shuyan, I still have something else to do, so I won’t send you off. Take Zhenbai’s car!”
Seeing how clear Brother Feng was making himself, Chi Shuyan looked at the man next to her, who had already pursed his lips in agreement. He strode over and opened the car door, gesturing for her to get in. Chi Shuyan could only walk over and get into the car.
As soon as Chi Shuyan got into the car, Qi Zhenbai said goodbye to Feng Yuanlin and also got into the driver’s seat. His face didn’t change much, but at a closer look, his deep eyes fell on the woman next to him from time to time, as if he couldn’t get enough of looking at her.
Chi Shuyan didn’t need to pay much attention to keenly sense the other party’s scorching gaze on her. Her face was a bit stiff and she couldn’t find a topic of conversation for one moment, so she simply looked out the window. After a while, she thought of how the man next to her probably didn’t know where the Yu residence was, so she simply took out her phone and clicked on the Baidu GPS. She said, “Just send me to the Yu residence!”
Seeing that his wife had nothing to say to him, Qi Zhenbai pursed his thin lips again, his eyes dim. “Okay!”
When the car was some distance away, Chi Shuyan looked away from the window and couldn’t help but glance at the indifferent man next to her.
Speaking of which, she had very conflicted feelings for Qi Zhenbai. When they had just broken up before and she was still immersed in her emotions, she had thought to treat him as a stranger and to never interact with him again, in the name of a peaceful breakup. However, she also didn’t want to become distant from the Qi family because of this man.
She hadn’t thought much of it before, but now that she had completely calmed down and thought about it carefully, she had been a little selfish and unreasonable. Chi Shuyan sighed and decided to let nature take its course in the future. There was no need to deliberately give the man certain warning signals. Of course, that was on the condition that he no longer asked to get back together.
Although Qi Zhenbai’s eyes fell on his wife’s face from time to time, he really couldn’t guess what she was thinking from her calm expression. It just so happened that the light up ahead was red. Qi Zhenbai stepped on the brake and was about to find a topic to talk about with his wife, when his phone suddenly rang.
He put in his earpiece, and Feng Yuanlin’s utterly anxious voice suddenly rang out. “Zhenbai, is that you? You didn’t take Shuyan far, did you? Something happened. Can you turn around somewhere and come back to the restaurant?”
Qi Zhenbai knew his friend’s character. If it wasn’t urgent, Yuanlin wouldn’t lose his composure and be so anxious. “Okay! Wait right there!”
After the light turned green, Qi Zhenbai immediately turned around and explained to his wife, “Yan… Yan, Brother Feng has something urgent to tell you. He wants us to go back to the restaurant!”
Chi Shuyan was shocked by Qi Zhenbai’s explanation. They hadn’t driven far to begin with, and three minutes later, the car stopped in front of Deluxe Pavilion again. Before Chi Shuyan could get out of the car, she saw Brother Feng rush over anxiously to knock on the door.
Chi Shuyan hurriedly rolled down the window and called out, “Brother Feng, what’s the matter?”
“Something big happened! Shuyan! Something really big happened!” Feng Yuanlin thought of the report from his subordinates just now. When Zhenbai unlocked the car doors, Feng Yuanlin immediately opened the car door and got into the backseat. His eyes were filled with anxiety and fear, and his face was green. As soon as he got into the car, he didn’t hide it and immediately told her the truth. “Shuyan, didn’t you ask me to investigate the secret behind that Buddha statue before? At that time, I was afraid that this thing might be harming a lot of pregnant women, so I had everyone check all the major hospitals for any pregnant women with abnormal conditions. At that time, we didn’t find any, and I was relieved. Xiao Shan and Wu Haoming said that they accidentally entered a remote village and discovered that all the families there worship the black Buddha statue. There is also something very wrong with the pregnant women in this village.”
The truth was actually more serious than that. Feng Yuanlin also heard from them that the people in that village had believed in that thing for several lifetimes. It was also said that countless pregnant women and babies had died in that village for some reason. The people in the village felt that it was because they weren’t devout enough. After that, someone specially instructed them to build a temple for the black Buddha statue, but many people still died.
In short, when Feng Yuanlin thought of the village, his blood ran cold.
Chi Shuyan’s face changed drastically when she heard Brother Feng’s words. She immediately made a decision. “Brother Feng, let’s go take a look now!”
