314 Feng Qi’s Past

Fang Xiaonuan was no longer in the mood to eat. How could she stand by while her sister-in-law got bullied?

Just as she was about to walk over, Ji Lingchen stopped her. Then, she saw the man slap Feng Qi hard.

Ji Lingchen did not say anything. He pulled his wife to a corner and hid.

Fang Xiaonuan clenched her fists tightly, but her husband pulled her away. “Ugh, hubby, someone is hurting sister-in-law. I’m going to avenge her. Let go of me and I’ll beat that b*stard up!”

“Xiaonuan, have care for her pride,” Ji Lingchen said in a low voice.

Fang Xiaonuan then understood that this was her sister-in-law’s most embarrassing moment. She cared a lot about her reputation, so if Fang Xiaonuan saw her like this, she would definitely feel even worse.

Ji Lingchen saw that his kitten had quieted down, so he patted her back. The two of them listened quietly.

“Feng Qi, I’m your father. You have to take care of me when I’m old and after I die. I’m in the hospital, but you haven’t visited me. You even let that kid, Ji Wen, anger me. Do you not care about me? Whether you believe it or not, I’ll go into City Hall tomorrow and let everyone see what kind of person the mayoress is. I’ll show them that she doesn’t even care about her own father!”

Feng Qi gritted her teeth and clenched her fists. “My husband’s family is here. If you touch me again, they won’t let you off!”

Feng Qi’s father spat on her face. “Bah! You little b*stard, you only achieved your current status because of me. It’s fine if you don’t thank me for it, but now you don’t even want to acknowledge me?”

Seeing that Feng Qi had been holding back, Fang Xiaonuan could not take it anymore. “Hubby, let me go. I’ll go stab that old man to death!”

She had a knife in her bag that she had brought for her love rival.

“Don’t move,” Ji Lingchen said as he hugged his wife.

Feng Qi could not take her father’s insults and said angrily, “Enough! What do you want?”

Mr. Feng and the man beside him looked at each other. “It’s almost the new year. You have to give me a million yuan as a token of respect. Your brother has been in some trouble recently and needs four million yuan. I want to receive five million yuan by tomorrow. Otherwise, I’ll go into the City Hall!”

“I don’t have five million!”

“Shut up,” the other man said. “You’re the young mistress of the Ji family. You have so much pocket money. Can’t you take out five million? You want me to hit you, don’t you?”

Feng Qi looked at the man. “Feng Hai, I don’t work. My husband is the one who gives me the money. I want to keep the Ji family’s money for my son. Don’t you dare take it away!”

“I advise you to stop pestering me. Thirteen years ago, my husband’s family could make you lose everything, and we can do the same now!”

“That’s because you were pregnant with the Ji family’s child. Do you think you still have the ability to do that now?” Mr. Feng laughed contemptuously. “Now that Ji Lingchen has a wife, would he still care about you? Listen, if you can’t get the five million by tomorrow, I’ll go to the City Hall and make a scene. Also, you should keep your son indoors, or I’ll hire a hitman to beat him up!”

After that, the two of them turned around and left.

Feng Hai pointed at Feng Qi before he left and said, “Five million. If you don’t pay up, I’ll target your son. Don’t say I didn’t warn you. Ji Wen would be gone, and you won’t be able to give birth to another child in this lifetime!”

Feng Qi trembled with anger. She really wanted to fight with her family. After the two of them left, she seemed to have lost all her strength. She leaned against the wall, slowly slid down, and crouched on the ground.

Fang Xiaonuan’s heart ached for her. She wanted to go up and comfort her sister-in-law, but her husband stopped her. She knew what her husband wanted, so she could only leave.

When they returned to the living room, Ji Lingchen told his wife that the two people earlier were Feng Qi’s father and her half-brother. Back when Old Master Ji was still a government official, the Feng family had arranged a marriage with the Ji family in order to curry favor with Old Master Ji. They had wanted to marry the young lady of the Feng family to Ji Kangde.

But later, Old Master Ji was framed, and the Feng family wanted to call off the engagement. Although Old Master Ji was disappointed, he still agreed to it. After that, the country proved his father’s innocence and even wanted to promote him. When the Feng family heard this, they went back to discuss the marriage again. In the end, Old Master Ji abandoned his position in the government and went into business. The Feng family wavered again. However, the news of the marriage between the two families had been released, and the Feng family could not break off the marriage again. On the day of the wedding, the eldest daughter of the Feng family ran away and let Feng Qi, their illegitimate daughter, marry in her place. She used to live a hard life with her mother. It was Old Master Feng who could not stand it and brought her back to the Feng family. However, her status in the Feng family was lower than a servant’s. It was only after she married into the Ji family that her life became better.

Of course, the Ji family could also tell that Feng Qi was not the Feng family’s eldest daughter. It was Mrs. Ji who went to ask her daughter-in-law about it. After knowing what had happened to her, the Ji family did not despise her. Instead, they all felt sorry for her. After that, she stayed.

Later on, Ji Kangde rose up step by step, and Feng Qi became pregnant. Not long after, Mrs. Ji also had Ji Xiaoyu.
