Chapter 709 Reunion
After arriving at the doorstep, Ling Feng got out of the car and patted the heads of Wang Cai and Yellow before looking up to see everyone already standing at the door.
Li Shiyun, Mo Jiaolan, Miao Ruoruo, everyone was there.
Seeing everyone’s gaze, Ling Feng let out a chuckle and scratched his head, "Everyone’s good, right?"
But everyone just glanced at him, and then they all rushed toward An Xue!
"Sis, you scared me to death!"
"It’s good that you’re back safe and sound!"
"Glad you’re okay!"
For a moment, it was all cheerful chatter, and Ling Feng was left hanging on the side!
The one who relieved his awkwardness was Du Hao, the old man who came over to have a look at Ling Feng and said in a low voice, "You young man, you’re doing all right!"
"Huh?"
Ling Feng paused in surprise, then realized what was meant and smiled awkwardly.
"Aren’t you going to introduce her?" asked Du Hao.
"What’s it to you, being so nosy?"
Upon hearing this, Du Hao’s wife immediately pinched him and whispered.
With that, Du Hao instantly dared not say anything more.
Ling Feng found this amusing, thinking to himself, no wonder you’re envious of me, turns out you have a pretty strict overseer at home, huh?
Because there were so many people, the girls surrounded An Xue and went to the back to talk, leaving only Ling Feng and Mr. and Mrs. Du in the front room.
Looking at the simple surroundings, Du Hao couldn’t help but ask, "Ling Feng, what do you do for a living now?"
"Well...."
Ling Feng was caught off guard by the question. He owned quite a few businesses, but had never paid much attention to running them. To say he was a doctor, he hadn’t been treating patients for a while, and to say he was into breeding, he didn’t even know what was in his breeding farms anymore.
So, after a moment’s hesitation, Ling Feng chuckled and said, "Me? My main job right now is with the Safety Bureau."
"Oh, just that? How about I make some sort of investment here and you become the president?" Du Hao asked.
Ling Feng was startled, then understood his intention and shook his head, "No need, I’m already busy enough, I don’t have the time or energy to manage it."
Du Hao knew his relationship with An Xue, and by doing this, he was simply trying to give his daughter some capital to provide her with a comfortable life.
But Ling Feng really didn’t need it, and he believed An Xue wouldn’t need it either, as she was not someone who craved material life.
Moreover, with his own abilities, Ling Feng was also able to provide a very good living environment for everyone.
Seeing his refusal, Du Hao wanted to say more, but his wife spoke up again, "Enough. Don’t worry about the kids. I saw Xiao Xue just now, very happy; I know she’s doing well here. Can you not complicate things further?"
Du Hao gave an awkward smile, "Okay, I’ll listen to you."
After sitting for a while, Li Shiyun and Mo Jiaolan came to the front room.
The two of them were there to call everyone for dinner, knowing that Ling Feng and An Xue had come back. A big table of rich dishes had been prepared - as both a welcome and to settle nerves upon their safe return.
Seeing the two tables that had already been set up at the back,
once everyone sat down, Ling Feng looked around and couldn’t help asking, "Where’s Fei’er? Why isn’t she here?"
"The girl is mad at you, and she also had a task, so she didn’t come!" Li Shiyun said with a smile.
Ling Feng realized, knowing that Bai Rongruo was locked up in Nine Heavens, she must be referring to that, so he nodded, "Then I’ll go find her later."
Everyone began to eat, with all the ingredients coming from the Fourth Layer Heaven, Du Hao and his wife tasted them for the first time and couldn’t stop praising them!
Such top-quality and fresh ingredients appearing in a small mountain village was indeed a very puzzling thing.
Only then did the couple realize that Ling Feng’s life was not as simple as it appeared on the surface, he also had his secrets.
Thinking of this, the two of them felt relieved about An Xue’s future life.
After having lunch, Du Hao took Ling Feng out.
While walking in the village, he turned and said, "The reason we came this time was to check on Xiao Xue’s living conditions, and also, we wanted to meet her foster parents."
"I know!"
Ling Feng thought to himself that what was inevitable would come and nodded, "Let An Xue go back with you later. I won’t get involved in this matter."
"Okay, we’ll handle it," nodded Du Hao.
Thinking of An Xue’s foster father still being locked up in the Third Layer, Ling Feng smiled and said, "Right, I’ll go bring the person out later and see how he has reformed. If he hasn’t, then he’ll need to be locked up a while longer!"
"Who?"
Confused, Du Hao asked blankly.
Ling Feng gave a bitter smile, "An Xue’s foster father, this man is not someone who gives peace of mind. I need to see if he has changed. If not, then he will have to be locked up for another period!"
After talking for a bit, Du Hao learned about what had happened and then sighed, "I never imagined such a thing. My daughter..."
"It’s all in the past now, thinking about it now is meaningless, isn’t it?"
Ling Feng knew he was distressed for his daughter, so he quickly advised.
"You’re right,"
nodded Du Hao.
Ling Feng and Ling Yao teleported to the Nine Heavens, then together they went to the Third Layer.
"I’ve been monitoring that person all along. He has suffered quite a bit these days inside, and he has lost quite a bit of weight."
After entering the Third Layer Heaven, Ling Yao said with an expressionless face.
Ling Feng didn’t see anyone, so he asked, "Where is he?"
"There’s a burrow up ahead, he’s in there hiding from the sunlight,"
said Ling Yao, pointing with her hand and sneering.
Ling Feng quickly walked forward and after about a dozen meters, indeed saw a large pit on the ground where a dirty man lay. It was An Xue’s foster father, An Jiaming.
He seemed to be asleep, utterly unaware of Ling Feng’s arrival, lying motionlessly in the pit.
Seeing the situation, Ling Feng coughed and said, "How has your reflection gone?"
Hearing this voice, An Jiaming shivered and scrambled up, squinting to see it was Ling Feng, he immediately crawled up on all fours!
Then, with a thud, he knelt in front of Ling Feng, "Big brother, I know I was wrong, I will never gamble again!"
"Really?" Ling Feng expressed doubt.
"Really, these days I’ve realized, there’s nothing happier than being together with my wife and child. After getting out, I’ll find a job, earn money properly to provide for the family, and never touch gambling again!" An Jiaming said sincerely.
Ling Feng sneered, "I’ve got good news for you. An Xue’s biological parents are here, and they are richer than the richest person in the world. If you want to keep gambling, the money they give you could probably last for a lifetime!"
"Ah?"
An Jiaming was startled, his eyes full of astonishment, followed by a flicker of dejection.
"What’s the matter with you?"
Ling Feng didn’t know what he was thinking and asked curiously.
"I’m happy for Xiao Xue that she can have a good life," said An Jiaming with his head down.
"Aren’t you happy? Her parents are ready to give you a large sum of money!" Ling Feng asked.
An Jiaming raised his head, "I don’t want it. I owe Xiao Xue too much. That her parents don’t blame me, I’m already very satisfied."
