“When Auntie sees Brother Feng, she can’t help but think of Feng Jing’s eldest brother. It would have a negative impact on her condition, right?”

Due to her work, Yin Tao had a certain understanding of some traumatic psychological disorders. It was actually very normal for Feng Jing’s mother to be in such a situation.

Feng Jing and his elder brother were kidnapped at the same time. His brother passed away unexpectedly and his mother suffered a serious blow. Therefore, when she saw Feng Jing, she couldn’t help but think of his elder brother’s death.

“That’s right. I heard from Uncle Feng that Aunty’s condition flared up the moment she saw Feng Jing. Her condition only stabilized after a year of treatment.”

Yin Tao thought of the way Feng Jing’s mother was when they were eating just now and asked Lin Jia doubtfully, “Brother Lin Jia, when we were eating just now, 1 felt that Auntie’s condition was quite stable. So much time has passed, hasn’t her relationship with Brother Feng improved?”

“Things were quite okay initially, but Feng Jing started working at the police station.”

Lin Jia shook her head helplessly. “Feng Jing is really stubborn. The entire family is against it, but he insisted on joining the detective team.”

Yin Tao understood Feng Jing’s feelings better than anyone else. After all, she had been misunderstood as much as Feng Jing when she became a forensic doctor.

“So, because of his work, Brother Feng’s relationship with his mother became even worse.”

Lin Jia nodded and added, “It’s not just bad. They have almost cut off all contact. When Feng Jing first became a detective, he didn’t even go home. If Grandpa and Auntie hadn’t softened their stance later on, Feng Jing might not have ever come back to the Feng family now.”

Seeing Yin Tao lowering her head in deep thought, Lin Jia couldn’t help but ask, “Xiaotao, don’t you think Feng Jing is too fixated about this matter? At that time, I tried very hard to persuade him, but he wouldn’t listen at all.”

Yin Tao gently shook her head, and her words surprised Lin Jia. “There are some things that only I know in my heart. Everyone thinks that he’s unreasonable, stubborn, and extreme, but based on my understanding of Brother Feng, he must have a reason.”

Lin Jia was slightly stunned. He looked at Yin Tao and felt that her temperament seemed to be similar to Feng Jing’s.

“You’re a little like him. I can understand him, but the path he chose is indeed a little difficult.” Lin Jia naturally knew the reason why Feng Jing chose to be a detective, but it was precisely so that he knew that Feng Jing was undoubtedly making things difficult for himself.

“Didn’t you choose to stand by him?” Yin Tao looked at Lin Jia’s smiling eyes behind his glasses and felt that although Lin Jia seemed wordly wise, he really treated Feng Jing as a true friend.

“Don’t make me sound so selfless. 1 have no choice. Actually, Feng Jing is very difficult to handle.”

Seeing that Lin Jia was deliberately kidding her, Yin Tao explained to him seriously, “Brother Lin Jia, 1 can tell that Brother Feng cherishes you as a friend. Your friendship is so precious.”

“He can count the number of friends he has with the fingers on one hand. How can he not cherish me?”

Lin Jia smiled. He looked at Yin Tao and hesitated for a moment. In the end, he asked, “On the other hand, you are really concerned about Feng Jing. Xiaotao, what do you think of Feng Jing?”

Seeing that Yin Tao didn’t answer immediately, Lin Jia simply added, “You care a lot about him, do you like him a lot?”

Yin Tao didn’t expect Lin Jia to ask such a question and didn’t know how to answer.

“I…” Yin Tao didn’t dare to look Lin Jia in the eye. She explained in a low voice, “Brother Feng and 1 don’t have that kind of relationship. Brother Feng takes good care of me. I’m also very grateful to him.”

Lin Jia had more experience in relationships than Yin Tao and Feng Jing combined. Lin Jia already understood the situation when he saw Yin Tao’s hesitant expression.

“Is that so?” Lin Jia smiled and continued from where Yin Tao let off. “Then if 1 win you over, it won’t be considered snatching a friend’s love, right?”

“Brother Lin Jia.” Yin Tao was about to explain again when she saw that Lin Jia was deliberately teasing her.

“Alright, I was just teasing you.”

Lin Jia sighed softly and looked at Yin Tao’s clean and beautiful face under the moonlight. He stroked her hair gently and said dotingly, “Xiaotao, if you are not sure how you feel, then feel the love of others for you first. When you meet the right person, you really mustn’t let him slip. Girls can also take the initiative. There’s no right or wrong in relationships. Don’t have any regrets..”
