Si Tu Jin knew she had more to express and waited expectantly.
Ru Feng continued, “I need to make sure they face some consequences for embarrassing me!”
Si Tu Jin smiled. “Why don’t you let Dad arrange it?”
“Okay!”
Meanwhile, the two men of the Si Tu family remained unaware of the father-daughter plot brewing as Si Tu Ying Feng awaited someone’s arrival.
At the wedding’s conclusion, Ning Yuan approached him and asked, “Big brother, even if I have done something wrong, for Sui Feng’s sake, won’t anyone else come?”
He looked at Ning Yuan for a long time, recognizing the desperation he tried to hide. Shocked, he felt a mix of anger and hurt. “Ning Yuan, where exactly have you placed my two Si Tu Ying Feng’s sisters?”
Nevertheless, he simply raised his wine glass, toasted, “Ning Yuan, congratulations!” and left the scene without looking back.
Later that night, Si Tu Ying Feng sat quietly in Ru Feng’s room, waiting patiently. Time passed slowly, but he remained steadfast.
Sure enough, the window opened, and Ning Yuan climbed in.
“Slap!” Si Tu Ying Feng turned on the light to confirm Ning Yuan’s presence.
With a casual smile, he greeted, “Ning Yuan, you’re here.” Ning Yuan was briefly stunned but quickly regained composure.
Driven by longing, he wanted to see her—whether out of hatred or sorrow. He desperately sought her whereabouts and, recalling her strong sense of family, thought of the wedding. Sui Feng was her only sister, and surely she would come despite her sadness. But after waiting an entire day, she never appeared.
So, he came, just wanting to see her.
“Where is she?”
Si Tu Ying Feng did not ask who she was or why he was in Ru Feng’s room on her and Sui Feng’s wedding night.
With too much grief and anger, he could even laugh, “Ning Yuan, have I not told you that Feng’er cannot do intense exercise? She has a severe heart condition, and doctors predicted she would not live past ten years old. Where is she now?”
Time froze; Ning Yuan stood there, chilled to the bone.
He remembered that day: her disbelieving eyes, her pale complexion, and the moment she closed her eyes and fell. He had not forgotten her hand pressed against her heart.
