CHAPTER 416: CHAPTER 416

Fu Youhan didn’t receive a response from Jiang Moxi and was just about to express his full apology when he saw on the tablet screen that Jiang Moxi coldly glanced at the drone.

That icy gaze seemed to pierce through the drone, landing directly on him, Fu Youhan.

While Fu Youhan felt a jolt in his heart, he saw Jiang Moxi casually pick up a teacup and flick it with her finger.

Then, the screen showed the teacup flying towards the drone, and the next second, the tablet screen went pitch black.

So, did Xixi just use a teacup to precisely take down his drone?

Fu Youhan put away the tablet, unable to hide his admiration.

"If you had shown these skills earlier, I would have guessed it was her right away."

However, despite his admiration, Fu Youhan didn’t give up on the idea of seeking Jiang Moxi’s forgiveness.

He stayed in the car until nightfall, and then used a rope to climb over the wall into the Feng Family’s property.

Of course, before climbing the wall, Fu Youhan had disabled the sensory system installed on the Feng Family’s Mansion perimeter walls.

Soon, he quietly made his way into the Feng Family’s Mansion and walked towards the residence where Jiang Moxi lived, according to his memory.

But he had to admit, even as the night fell, the security at the Feng Family’s Mansion remained tight.

Throughout his approach, Fu Youhan had encountered the patrolling bodyguards more than a dozen times.

The most dangerous encounter was when he ran straight into three waves of patrolling bodyguards.

If he hadn’t been a former mercenary with excellent reflexes and had not quickly climbed on top of a pavilion, he might have been caught.

After several close calls, Fu Youhan finally reached Jiang Moxi’s courtyard. He peeked through the window and saw Jiang Moxi playing chess with an elderly man with a full head of silver hair.

"Xixi, you’re going to lose!" The elder moved a chess piece and smiled broadly.

Jiang Moxi responded with a chess move of her own and then said with a smile, "Sorry Grandpa, it’s a counter checkmate!"

The elder puffed up and glared, "You little girl, you’ve never known to show some respect for this old man since you were young!"

"If I did let you win, you would probably be even less happy," Jiang Moxi replied.

"I can’t argue with you, little girl."

The two bantered for a short while, and then Jiang Moxi suddenly asked, "Grandpa, do you miss Brother Ming?"

Old Master Feng seemed touched by a sorrowful memory, silent for a long while before his voice turned hoarse, "He’s been gone for a few years, of course I miss him."

Fu Youhan listened to their conversation from outside the window, suddenly thinking of the Feng Ming he had seen in the hospital.

Was he really a deceased former head of the Feng Family?

Was he hidden away and recuperating in Yan City by Jiang Moxi’s deception?

So Jiang Moxi’s initial return to Yan City was not only to be with her birth parents but also to protect Feng Ming.

To prevent others from tracking her and discovering Feng Ming’s existence, she hid her true appearance and concealed all her abilities, allowing those incompetent fools in Yan City to bully her?

Fu Youhan then realized that the seemingly cold-hearted person actually had more loyalty and sentimentality than anyone else.

The more he understood Jiang Moxi’s loyalty and sentimentality, the more Fu Youhan felt pained and unable to let go.

As Fu Youhan’s thoughts drifted, he heard Jiang Moxi’s voice from inside the house again.

"If Brother Ming was still..."

Jiang Moxi stopped there, and Fu Youhan roughly guessed that she probably wanted to tell Old Master Feng that Feng Ming wasn’t dead.

But at that moment, Jiang Moxi’s tone changed and she became sharp, "Who’s there! Who is outside!"

Fu Youhan thought Jiang Moxi had discovered him and was considering whether to go directly into the house to greet her.

Then he heard the wooden door being pushed open.

Fu Youhan looked towards the window again and saw a stunning woman dressed in a white traditional Chinese dress, carrying a bowl of soup, entering the room.

"Old Master Feng, Feng Xi."

The woman greeted them, then turned to Jiang Moxi and said, "I heard you’ve been unwell recently, so I specially simmered some coconut fish maw soup for you. It’s nourishing and beauty-enhancing."

But Jiang Moxi merely gave a cold glance at the thing in the woman’s hand, "Put it down, you may leave."

However, the woman persisted, "Fish maw should be consumed while it’s hot to avoid the fishy smell."

"Wei Su, have you forgotten what I said before?"

Jiang Moxi’s voice was markedly colder than before, like ice chunks smashing into a person.

"I’m just concerned about you, Feng Xi."

Seeing Jiang Moxi’s expression remain icy, even her excessively beautiful face was sharp with coldness, showing no sign of softening, Wei Su could only look towards Old Master Feng.

"Old Master, you see..."

She tried to get Old Master Feng to persuade Jiang Moxi.

But Old Master Feng only said, "It’s rare for Xixi to come home, don’t come to the front yard and upset her."

Yes, Old Master Feng was still as blatantly biased towards Jiang Moxi as ever.

Despite her unwillingness, Wei Su could only back off.

Because Jiang Moxi was the most unique presence in the Feng Family, even if not by blood, she was the most favored person.

In the Feng Family, you could offend anyone but not Jiang Moxi.

There was no need to wait for Jiang Moxi to take action herself; other members of the Feng Family would deal with anything that displeased her beforehand.

Just like now, if Wei Su stubbornly continued to argue with Jiang Moxi, Old Master Feng would definitely have her Wei Su sent out of the mansion.

Every time Jiang Moxi appeared at the mansion, Wei Su felt a shadow of humiliation from being suppressed and ignored.

After all, she had joined the Feng Family before Jiang Moxi!

So she really could not understand why the people of the Feng Family favored Jiang Moxi more!

The same was true even for Feng Yu, who had brought her into the mansion.

That was also the reason she had recklessly tried to kill Jiang Moxi in the past by secretly defying her.

She just hadn’t expected Jiang Moxi to be so lucky.

After disappearing for several years, she reappeared in the Feng Family unharmed...

Wei Su felt extremely aggrieved, but in the end, she sensibly placed the bowl of coconut fish maw soup onto the table and then turned to leave.

After Wei Su left, only Old Master Feng and Feng Xi remained in the room.

"Xixi, what were you saying about Feng Ming just now?" Old Master Feng remembered that Jiang Moxi seemed about to say something about Feng Ming before.

But after Wei Su’s interruption, Jiang Moxi seemed to have lost the intention of mentioning Feng Ming tonight.

"What I meant was, it would have been nice if Brother Ming were still here."

Old Master Feng didn’t hear the answer he wanted and couldn’t hide the disappointment in his eyes.

"Yes, if he were still here, it would be about time for him to get married and have children."

After lamenting, Old Master Feng spoke to Jiang Moxi again: "I’ve set up a cenotaph for him on the Yulong Mountain behind us. Once your wounds are better, let’s bring some of his favorite snacks and visit him. I think he’d be happy to see how much you’ve grown."

"Alright, Grandpa."

Afterwards, Old Master Feng mentioned that Jiang Moxi had injuries and advised her to rest early, then left with the support of the butler.

Fu Youhan hid by the window, quietly watching Jiang Moxi’s gaze follow Old Master Feng’s staggering figure, contemplating whether to check her wounds after she fell asleep.

Out of nowhere, Jiang Moxi’s cool voice came: "Come out."

Fu Youhan was slightly startled...
