When he was older, he became the decision-maker in the Feng family. In addition, he had a strict personality, so the younger generations in the family were very afraid of him. He had great prestige in the family, and when dealing with outsiders, both his status and his personality made many younger generations respect and fear him when they saw him. There were very few who were not afraid of him like Jiang Se, who even reached out to see his wound.
He originally had a very good impression of Jiang Se, otherwise he would not have sat with her in the garden for a while and chatted with her when they met at Pei's house that day.
He likes girls who follow the rules. Jiang Se gives him the same feeling as his granddaughter Feng Nan used to be, well-behaved and obedient.
"I'm just looking around."
Jiang Se emphasized, looking at the bruise on his forehead, he looked a little unhappy:
"Where is Feng Nan? Why isn't she at home taking care of you?"
He fell at home. The younger generations of the Feng family usually stay in Hong Kong, and his only relative in the capital is Feng Nan. At this time, Feng Nan should be at home to take care of him.
But she and Pei Yi had been there for quite a while, but Feng Nan hadn't shown up, and was obviously not at home.
As soon as she finished asking, Feng Zhongliang frowned:
"What's it to you?"
He looked stern, and the moment he said this, it sounded as if he was keeping people at a distance.
I thought Jiang Se would sit back in her seat and stop interfering after being scolded by him. But as soon as he finished speaking, the girl standing in front of him pursed her lips, looked at him with a hurt look, and tears appeared in her eyes. It was obvious that she was about to cry.
Feng Zhongliang couldn't hold it anymore and started to panic.
In his life, he was used to having a cold face, being strict with others and even stricter with himself. There were times when he scolded others, but more often he blamed his juniors. He didn't expect that Jiang Se, who had ignored his rejections several times before, had reached out to help him, and was not afraid of his cold face and wanted to come to see his forehead injury, would cry because of his words.
Seeing that Jiang Se was about to cry, Feng Zhongliang felt a little regretful. After all, Jiang Se had good intentions, but he had a cold face and scared her to tears.
He was a little at a loss. Normally, the younger generations obeyed him and rarely went against his wishes. He did not have much experience in coaxing children, and his granddaughter Feng Nan, who he had taken care of before, was very obedient and did not require him to worry about anything.
As for how to stop Jiang Se from crying, Feng Zhongliang had no other idea, so he could only reply with a stiff face:
"She's moved out. Do you have anything to say to her?"
For him, this was already considered an apology with all his dignity lost.
When Jiang Se heard that Feng Nan had moved out, he frowned for a moment, then quickly relaxed his brows, shook his head, and sat back on the sofa in silence:
"Remember to see a doctor about the wound on your head and rub it with some medicine."
She spoke in a soft voice, and Feng Zhongliang felt a little guilty.
"Tell the servants what you want to eat." The way he expressed his guilt was to ask the nanny, Mrs. Zhong, to wash the fruits and bring them over. Apart from the servants, he was the only one living in the huge Feng family. He was restrained and rigorous in character, so there were no snacks or desserts at home. The only thing they could serve was fruit.
He saw Jiang Se holding an apple and breathed a sigh of relief. She was wearing disposable gloves and the apple was spinning along the blade between her fingertips. She cored the apple, cut it into small pieces and put them into a crystal bowl beside her. She put a toothpick on it and pushed it in front of Feng Zhongliang.
This was an action that Feng Nan often liked to do in the past. When Feng Zhongliang saw this scene, he couldn't stand it anymore.
He thought of his granddaughter. Since she had been with Zhao Junhan more than a year ago, she seemed to have become a completely different person and had never done such thoughtful things since then. Now a strange girl was doing the same thing as Feng Nan did back then.
I don’t know why, a person’s personality would change so drastically because of a man, and even he would hardly recognize her.
His face turned pale, and he hurriedly reached for the crutch beside him and stood up to leave.
Jiang Se took off his gloves and watched his trembling movements. He held the cane and slammed it on the ground, making a heavy sound, and shouted loudly: "Xiao Liu, Xiao Liu!"
Xiao Liu came over to help him, Jiang Se stood up worriedly, and Zhong's mother bit her lip. Pei Yi, who had been in the bathroom for a while, heard the noise outside and came out, asking:
"What's wrong?"
There was a plate of fruit on the coffee table and a peeled apple in a crystal bowl. Jiang Se pursed her lips and shook her head reluctantly. Feng Zhongliang had already left the living room with the help of Xiao Liu.
This scene seemed as if Jiang Se had had an unpleasant argument with Old Master Feng, which made Pei Yi a little worried.
Mother Zhong had a look of sympathy on her face and sighed:
"Don't blame him. The old man is just sad. Miss Feng used to peel fruit for him like this, but it's been a long time since she did that."
Her unintentional action reminded Feng Zhongliang of Feng Nan, or rather, the Feng Nan of the past.
Pei Yi held Jiang Se in his arms. She didn't cry, but that smile made him feel more uncomfortable than crying.
He reached out and touched Jiang Se's face, imagining how she felt at the moment, and asked distressedly:
"How about going back first?"
Jiang Se leaned her head on his shoulder and asked about the injury on Feng Zhongliang's forehead. Mother Zhong was a little angry and hesitated to speak. When Pei Yi asked, she sighed:
"Over the past year or so, Miss Feng has changed a lot. She's been dating Mr. Zhao from Jianghua Group. Suddenly, she said she wanted to break up. She had a fight with the old man, and he was so angry that he fell down. He asked her to pack up and move out."
Mother Zhong’s words surprised and angered Jiang Se. She didn’t expect Feng Zhongliang’s injury to be related to Feng Nan. Was Feng Nan crazy
She suppressed her anger and asked a few more questions about the relationship between Feng Zhongliang and Feng Nan. Mother Zhong didn't dare to say too much and just asked a few vague questions.
But this attitude made Jiang Se even more disappointed in Feng Nan.
She could tolerate Feng Nan's inexplicable hostility towards her several times. Her body was occupied by 'Feng Nan'. Even if 'Feng Nan' was not fulfilling his obligations, he should not do such a thing. She still wanted to be in the entertainment industry and win awards? She was dreaming!
Feng Zhongliang was heartbroken and went back to his room. Pei Yi and Jiang Se sat for a while and prepared to leave.
Because of what happened before, Jiang Se didn't dare to appear in front of Feng Zhongliang again. Pei Yi originally wanted to say goodbye to him, but he didn't show up. Instead, Xiao Liu cut a few branches of wintersweet flowers, wrapped them in newspaper, and handed them to Jiang Se:
"The old man said that this is for Miss Jiang. He has not been in good health for more than a year and has a bad temper. Please don't be angry with him."
The wintersweet smelled fragrant. Feng Zhongliang bought the seedlings himself and planted them in the yard a few years ago. Jiang Se's eyes were sore and swollen when he heard what Xiao Liu said. Tears were about to flow out. Xiao Liu said again:
"The old man said that there is nothing to serve you at home. Miss Jiang, come over next time when you have time. Tell me what you want to eat in advance. Master Pei also knows the phone number of our home." (To be continued)
