As soon as Grandma Feng left, Feng Changyu threw the mop to her daughter and said, "Since you're back, you mop the floor."
Feng Xinyao said, "I met Min Wangyue in the community, and he told me that the mirror on the house was broken and asked me to repair the mirror." She said this in an attempt to avoid housework.
Feng Changyu didn't buy this trick and said he could ask Min Wangyue to find out.
Feng Xinyao was afraid of being exposed, and in her desperation, she came up with deceitful words. "Dad, I love Min Wangyue; that's why... I want to marry him as soon as possible! I'm trying to stop being a light bulb[1] at home so as not to hinder your true love."
Feng Changyu looked his daughter up and down and said sympathetically, "If you don't want to work, just say it. Why tell such a lie?"
"Dad, are you looking down on me? Why can't I win over him?"
Feng Changyu said, "A person must be self-aware. Min Wangyue is not something you could conquer. Since he moved here, countless old ladies have tried to get him to introduce someone to him, but they all ended in failure. Even the community's flower, Grandma Zhao's granddaughter, was rejected."
Feng Xinyao didn't feel humiliated. Instead, she felt like gossiping. "Did that block of wood refuse and say it was sexual harassment to every old lady who tried to introduce him to someone?"
He must have a deadpan expression and say in an infuriating tone, "You are immoral."
Feng Xinyao did not hear the gossip she wanted to hear. Feng Changyu said, "You are not an aunt; you should not do such gossiping things."
Feng Xinyao was very disappointed. She had not seen Zhao Lisi for many years and wanted to hear about her.
Feng Xinyao and Zhao Lisi had known each other since they were kids; they were schoolmates from elementary to high school.
The two of them were constantly compared, from their beauty to their academics.
The two of them were born beautiful. Zhao Lisi had a gentle temperament, just like her personality.
Feng Xinyao was born beautiful. She was like a doll when she was a child. Her big eyes and long eyelashes were like two small brushes. They brushed into the hearts of countless straight men and made everyone fall in love with her. But that's all. Her personality wasn't as beautiful as her face.
Feng Xinyao and Zhao Lisi were the same age; Zhao Lisi had a soft-spoken nature, and Feng Xinyao was the opposite. When they were kids, Feng Xinyao always followed her brother, and she beat all the boys in the community.
One time, his brother Feng Chen got into a fight with a boy who had just moved in, but he couldn't beat him. Feng Xinyao took a broom and hit him with a stick, kicking him down and beating him.
From then on, in the eyes of this group of kids, Feng Xinyao lost the gender of a girl and became a tigress.
When she was a teenager, there was a pervert in the neighborhood, and all the girls were scared. The boys were thinking about whether to form a team to protect the girls in the community. They were divided according to head count: one girl and two boys. When they came to Feng Xinyao, everyone got out of the way. After all, Feng Xinyao was someone who didn't need protection; instead, she should protect them.
In their words, when you meet a pervert, it is probably the pervert who needs protection.
At that time, Feng Xinyao already knew the difference between men and women and also had a girlish mentality. Being talked about like this by these bastards, Feng Xinyao was immediately angry and said, "Who wanted the protection of these losers?"
Then it turned out that it was really the pervert who needed to be protected.
One night, Feng Xinyao went home from her evening self-study. When she passed by the alley at the entrance of the community, she found that the street light there was broken. She was not aware of the danger at the time, and her mind was filled with the pain of being tortured by mathematics.
After walking out, she saw two boys knocking out a girl in a skirt with her clothes torn off.
When Feng Xinyao saw this, she went up and gave the opponent a flying kick. The opponent was caught off guard. Before he could resist, Feng Xinyao had already taken out a heavy English-Chinese dictionary and hit the opponent on the head hard.
She cursed the eighteenth generation of the other party's ancestors, saying that he was even more disgusting than Gao Shu, and made the two perverts look dumbfounded.
Finally, the two pervert cried and begged for mercy, and Feng Xinyao didn't let him go.
Later, the police came and took the man away. The two perverts seemed to have seen their savior and were dragged by the policeman. Feng Xinyao became famous in one battle and became the master of that area.
The brave Feng Xinyao not only received an award for her bravery but also completely lost the right to choose a spouse and remains single to this day.
The old ladies in the community still dare not introduce a partner to her, either because they are afraid that their sons will be beaten by her or because they are afraid that they will be beaten by her.
Feng Xinyao felt it was unfair. Why should men be admired by everyone for their bravery, while women who were more powerful were intimidated?
But so what? The matter is a foregone conclusion. Even though she has been working outside these years and rarely coming back, these people's views on her have not changed.
Hearing Zhao Lisi's name at this time, Feng Xinyao couldn't help but think of her painful high school years.
Zhao Lisi is a kind-hearted person, but she is not good at studying. This did not delay her numerous suitors.
At that time, Feng Xinyao was worried about mathematics, and her hair turned gray. She never noticed that the beautiful Zhao Lisi was targeted by hooligans from another school.
When she heard about her accident, Feng Xinyao was worried about the 60% score in mathematics since the two of them were in the same group.
It is said that there was a young gangster who failed to pursue Zhao Lisi and blocked the school gate at night, trying to force her to become his girlfriend. But Zhao Lisi has countless suitors; how could she be bullied so easily?
So that night, one of Zhao Lisi's suitors was stabbed by a gangster in order to protect Zhao Lisi. Zhao Lisi escaped unscathed, but her reputation was ruined.
Countless rumors spread, either saying that she was working on a few boats outside or that she was prostitution outside. In short, it was hard to hear anything.
Feng Xinyao at that time said a few words for Zhao Lisi. Those people didn't dare say anything to her face, but they scolded her behind her back, calling her a bitch and saying she was pretending to be noble and pretending to be a good person.
Then Zhao Lisi transferred schools and left. It is said that she went abroad with her mother. Feng Xinyao never saw Zhao Lisi again after that.
Now that her father mentioned Zhao Lisi, doesn't this mean Zhao Lisi is back?
"What's she doing when she comes back fine? Isn't it good to go abroad?"
If she were Zhao Lisi, she wouldn't go back to this city that was full of filthy words towards her.
Feng Changyu said, "I don't know. They said that they came back to invest or something; they should have made a fortune."
He said with envy, looking at other people's daughters; they are all well-off and could go back to their hometown, and his own daughter...
Feng Xinyao said, "Put away your disappointed eyes. I didn't ask you to make money like her mother. As a rich generation heir, Dad, how can you ask your daughter to develop on her own?"
Feng Changyu threw over a rag and asked her to mop the floor quickly.
Feng Xinyao hid at home for a few days, feeling that the rumors should go away, so she planned to go out for a walk. When she went downstairs, she saw Wang Kun appearing downstairs in their house.
Feng Xinyao was not in a good mood when she saw Wang Kun, but she was stopped by Wang Kun before she could turn around. Shouting loudly, "Your house has been robbed."
Feng Xinyao walked over with a glare. If she hadn't seen him wearing a police uniform, she would have given him a hammer.
"What do you mean by my house having been robbed?"
Wang Kun rolled his eyes at her and said, "Your house was really robbed. I didn't know if it was because of bad feng shui in your house. The tenant had just moved in and called the police twice. I almost thought you went to pick the lock in order to take revenge on Min Wangyue."
