Cheng Mu took Cheng Ziyu with him and glanced at Lu Zhaoying. “What happened? Film Emperor Qin might not let her go.”

Otherwise, He Chen would definitely have gone with Qin Ran to Continent M.

“She doesn’t need to do anything, I just need her to lend me something,” Lu Zhaoying shouted from afar.

Looking at the tail of the car, Cheng Mu stood there for a while and then contacted He Chen.

Lu Zhaoying wasn’t as familiar with He Chen, but Cheng Mu was used to being ordered around by her. Although He Chen and the others bullied him, they didn’t say much to him.

Cheng Mu put Cheng Ziyu back inside the house. Cheng Ziyu sat down on the blanket on one side and started playing puzzle games without talking or disturbing him.

Glancing at the fancy jigsaw clothes, Cheng Mu felt a headache and quickly went downstairs to contact He Chen.

...

At Feng Ci’s.

Feng Ci had a headache as he placed his phone on the coffee table. While talking to Lin Jinxuan, he glanced at Madam Feng. “Mom, why did you call me back?”

Sitting on the sofa in deep thoughts, Madam Feng looked up upon hearing this. “Your dad is bringing Mingyue over.”

Feng Ci didn’t respond, but his footsteps paused, and it took a long time for him to say, “Oh.”

“This is a rare opportunity. Grab this chance well, it’s not such a big deal between you two.” Madam Feng thought about it and added, “Both sides are in the wrong. As a woman, I know other women best.”

She remembered the details of Pan Mingyue’s stay in the Feng family’s house very well.

Feng Ci remained silent and stood there for two seconds before going upstairs.

“What did you say?” He didn’t manage to hear what Lin Jinxuan said, and he asked again when he entered his room.

Lin Jinxuan put down the documents in his hand. “You should give up on Pan Mingyue.”

As soon as he said this, let alone Feng Ci, even Ruan Hao standing next to him was shocked too.

Although Ruan Hao felt like Feng Ci had little hopes of getting back with Pan Mingyue, it wasn’t entirely without the possibility. After all, everyone knew how deep their relationship had been.

“Impossible,” Feng Ci lit a cigarette and replied decisively.

Knowing that he was stubborn, Lin Jinxuan didn’t hang up and just stood up to stand at the window. He was silent for a while before saying, “Do you know Pan Mingyue’s family background?”

“I know she’s an orphan. I have never seen her relatives, she has never mentioned them.” Feng Ci was a little irritable.

“Did Uncle Feng mention her parents to you?”

“No.” Feng Ci’s grip tightened on his phone. “What do you mean?”

“Feng Ci, Pan Mingyue’s father worked as an anti-drug police officer. All her family died in an anti-drug case, except for her. Their corpses are still not intact.” Lin Jinxuan held the table with his hands. “For us, the one who died might be a hero and is just another cold number, but it’s her dead relative. Do you understand why she had such a big opinion on your friends in the bar?”

As if struck by lightning, Feng Ci took a step backward.

He had thought about many possibilities behind why Pan Mingyue had reacted so fiercely that night.

He had even thought that it might be because of Li Shuangning, and guessed that Pan Mingyue wanted to use it to become an inspector... He had thought of countless reasons for her, but not this.

He had tried to reason with Pan Mingyue last time...

There had never been a moment when he didn’t regret trying to explain to her in the first place, asking her further, and investigating more.

From beginning to end, she had just said that his friends were “in the wrong”. At this time, he finally realized the reason behind her attitude, and why Pan Mingyue had calmly and easily broken up with him that day.

He had even... told her to calm down.

At the mere thought of this, he almost stopped breathing, as if his heart was being squeezed by an invisible hand.

The door was half-opened, and he could hear Pan Mingyue and Feng Loucheng’s voices from downstairs.

Glancing outside, he returned to his senses and stumbled downstairs.

Several people stood in the hall downstairs, but he saw Pan Mingyue at a single glance. She was talking to Feng Loucheng and didn’t seem as gloomy as before. The smile on her face seemed a little bright, but she was still as quiet as ever.

Staring at her, his heart twitched again.

...

Pan Mingyue and Feng Loucheng didn’t notice Feng Ci.

Feng Loucheng was still talking to her. “Have you received any news? Yi Chu asked you to take a case, but don’t go. It’s a trick.”

Nodding, Pan Mingyue took the tea from the servant but didn’t drink it. “I know.”

“Good that you know. Just stay at Ran Ran’s for the next two days.” Feng Loucheng thought for a while. “It’s better not to go to other places. Yi Chu’s people are capable of doing anything. Why did you come back today?”

Halfway through, Feng Loucheng looked up and noticed Feng Ci coming downstairs. His face was a little pale, and he looked to be in a bad condition.

However, since Pan Mingyue was here, Feng Loucheng didn’t care about him and continued talking to her.

Madam Feng was now very enthusiastic towards Pan Mingyue and called her all the way, but Pan Mingyue only thanked her distantly. After the meal, she didn’t speak with her and only talked to Feng Loucheng.

At the dining table, Madam Feng also noticed that Feng Ci’s attitude was off.

But she didn’t make it obvious.

She only followed Pan Mingyue to the bathroom.

“Mingyue.” She looked at her and smiled kindly.

Pan Mingyue was very polite. “Madam Feng.”

“We’re a family, don’t be so polite.” Madam Feng looked at her, still smiling. “Actually, I’ve known about you and Feng Ci for such a long time, but I’m old and can’t control so many things anymore. Feng Ci hasn’t had a girlfriend in all these years. I remember how you were only in high school when your uncle took you back...

“It really wasn’t easy for your uncle to take you out of the mental hospital, and the Xu family’s affairs were happening too. Sigh, but these are all in the past.” Madam Feng patted her hand with a gentle expression. “I don’t want to control you and Feng Ci anymore...”

Pan Mingyue didn’t even listen to her following words.

She only went to the bathroom when Madam Feng let go of her hand.

After closing the door, she sat on the toilet seat, her hands on her knees. Her eyes were so dark that they looked emotionless.

At this time, her phone rang with a call from Song Luting.

Song Luting had called her to ask about Cheng Ziyu.

After picking up, Pan Mingyue whispered, “Brother...”

He immediately noticed that her voice wasn’t right. Putting down the things at hand and leaving it to the other researchers, he walked to the corridor with his cell phone. “What’s wrong?”

Pan Mingyue looked up. “It’s nothing.”

“Where are you?” Song Luting frowned. He put the pen in his pocket and directly walked to the changing room. “I’ll come find you.”

...

Madam Feng directly went out after talking to Pan Mingyue.

“Mom, what did you do?” Feng Ci hadn’t had a chance to speak privately with Pan Mingyue at all. He had drunk a lot tonight, but he still paid attention to Pan Mingyue’s every move.

Madam Feng waved her hand and lowered her voice. “Don’t worry, I’m helping you to chase her.”

“Chase her?” Feng Loucheng was busy dealing with things and glanced over, unaware of Feng Ci and Pan Mingyue.

“It’s Mingyue. Don’t worry, our son is so outstanding.” Madam Feng wasn’t worried at all.

Feng Loucheng glanced at her and said lightly, “Don’t mess around. It’s inappropriate.”

He knew about Lu Zhaoying and didn’t think that Pan Mingyue would have anything to do with Feng Ci. Furthermore, Feng Ci was still worlds apart from her circle.

“Why is it inappropriate? I didn’t say that Mingyue isn’t good,” Madam Feng said.

First, every mother would think that her son was excellent, and Madam Feng naturally thought so too. Feng Ci was indeed very outstanding.

Second, Madam Feng had long known about Pan Mingyue’s mental disorders. Under normal circumstances, no one would let her son marry someone with a mental disorder, especially if her son was so outstanding. This was one of the reasons why she had tried to stop them.

In any case, Pan Mingyue was also an orphan, and no matter what, Feng Ci had a good family background and appearance.

In the beginning, Feng Loucheng had rescued Pan Mingyue from the flames, or she wouldn’t be alive.

If she didn’t look down on the current Pan Mingyue, then Pan Mingyue had no reason to refuse.

Madam Feng was still confident.

Pan Mingyue stayed in the bathroom for 20 minutes before coming out. She washed her face, and her fair complexion was almost transparent.

Seeing that she was leaving, Madam Feng quickly stood up. “It’s so late, you should stay for the night...”

“No.” Pan Mingyue didn’t look back.

“You...” Madam Feng didn’t expect her to refuse.

Before she finished speaking, the servant came in. “There’s a Mr. Song outside looking for Miss Mingyue.”

Without looking at Madam Feng, Pan Mingyue directly said to Feng Loucheng, “Uncle Feng, my brother is here to pick me up.”

Madam Feng was taken aback. Wasn’t she an orphan?
