Chapter 1416 - 1409: Father and Daughter (7)
Her parents had an arranged marriage, but actually, it was Xue’s mother who first took a liking to her father. Moreover, although Xue’s father was a college student and classmate of Lu Weixi’s parents, his family was poor. He was able to complete his university studies and establish himself in Yan City only with the financial support of his father-in-law. One could say that in this relationship, Xue’s mother contributed more. Thus, when Xue’s father left, the impact on her mother was much greater.
The incident Xue Jizong stirred up on Weibo was quickly suppressed, and it vanished without causing even a ripple. Over the years, she and her mother had been treating it as if her father had died. Her mother had just barely managed to find peace and returned to her hometown to enjoy her later years. If Xue Jizong’s demands were not too excessive, couldn’t she handle them by herself? Why trouble her mother?
Moreover, her father disappeared six years ago. The person online now, is that really her father? Or is someone using his identity to swindle money?
What’s deadly is, since Xue’s father disappeared, it has been six years now. Xue’s mother always felt he would return, so she never reported him as a missing person to the police. In other words, they are still legally husband and wife.
Xue Feifei previously knew someone at the police station and had tried checking Xue Jizong’s travel records. Perhaps for fear of loan sharks reviewing accounts, he hadn’t used his identification documents once in these six years since he ran away; it’s unknown whether he’s dead or alive.
After thinking it over, she still ended up dialing the phone. Mother and daughter exchanged a few pleasantries first; her mother asked about her work, and Xue Feifei smiled saying she just started a new drama.
Once the work topic was finished, Xue Feifei tentatively asked, "Mom, how about you? How have you been recently?"
Actually, before she asked this, she roughly knew her mother was probably unaware of the situation regarding Xue Jizong. If she had known, the tone of their conversation wouldn’t be so light and cheerful, and she wouldn’t have spent so long without mentioning her dad.
