Capítulo 1232: Chapter 1233: Ivory-Shaped White Pendant

Feng Jinglei was staying here temporarily, so she never wanted to trouble Qin Guozhong and Zhuang Yanyan.

At Zhuang Yanyan’s gentle call, Feng Jinglei came downstairs and entered the dining room.

During dinner, Feng Jinglei kept her head down, eating silently.

Sitting at the table with her were Qin Guozhong and Zhuang Yanyan, and seeing her like this made them both feel uneasy.

They always knew that because she was just staying here temporarily, she was always cautious and never wanted them to worry. Sometimes she even hid a cold, buying some medicine to get through it on her own.

The more she acted like this, the more they felt sorry for her, losing her parents and having no one to rely on.

“Jinglei.”

Zhuang Yanyan knew she was used to hiding her emotions, enduring anything that upset her in silence.

Hearing Zhuang Yanyan’s gentle call, Feng Jinglei looked up at her but didn’t speak, as if she knew they were worried about her.

“Feimo is just angry right now. Don’t take his words too seriously.”

Even though this had happened, Qin Guozhong and Zhuang Yanyan still hoped Feng Jinglei would become their future granddaughter-in-law. However, after this incident, they weren’t sure if this wish could come true.

“I didn’t take it to heart.” She spoke calmly and then continued to eat with her head down.

Seeing her, Qin Guozhong remembered the instructions her father left before his passing, and couldn’t help feeling some guilt.

Actually, Ma Qianqian’s matter had nothing to do with her. It was his insistence on finding Ma Qianqian, and if blame was to be laid, it was on him, the old man.

“Ultimately, this is my fault, and it has nothing to do with you. When Feimo returns, I will talk to him personally.”

Upon hearing this, Feng Jinglei paused for a moment, then looked up, “There’s no need, Grandpa Qin. Whether he believes it or not has nothing to do with me. You don’t need to explain for my sake.”

She said this because, first, Qin Feimo had truly hurt her, so she didn’t want to explain a single word. Secondly, Grandpa Qin was his real grandfather; there was no reason for him to explain or apologize for her to his own grandson.

“But…” Qin Guozhong wanted to say more, as he still hoped Feng Jinglei could become his granddaughter-in-law.

But he was interrupted by Feng Jinglei.

At this moment, she had already eaten a bowl of plain rice in silence.

“I’m full, please continue at your leisure.”

After saying that, she turned and left the dining room.

Watching her departing figure, Qin Guozhong and Zhuang Yanyan both wore a look of worry.

.

That night, Qin Feimo did not return.

Lying in bed, Feng Jinglei stayed awake all night, the words ‘I, Qin Feimo, will never love you in this life’ piercing her heart like a sharp sword, leaving her in speechless pain, with no choice but to endure silently.

In her hand was a pendant the color of moonlight in an ivory shape, attached to a black string. She had clutched it when she first met Qin Feimo at the beach at the age of ten. In a way, her heart seemed to have taken root at that moment.

That year, her parents took her to the beach for a vacation. Always fond of swimming, she was playing happily by the sea alone until she heard a shout. Turning her head, she saw someone struggling in the water, seemingly drowning.

With all her might, she dragged the struggling figure onto the shore, discovering it was a boy who looked very handsome.
