Chapter 55: Rong Qing
Meanwhile, Fu Sinan had already reached the entrance. Before he could knock, they heard shouting from inside.
"You need to have some decency, Feng Lian!"
Rong Qing’s angry voice echoed through the shabby house.
"If you continue spending money like this, one day we’ll run out of everything! We’re barely surviving as it is. If you keep behaving like this, we’ll truly have nothing left!"
Feng Lian immediately shouted back.
"You’re such a narrow-minded man! How can you not understand that sometimes you have to lose something to gain something? I’m using all the money and food to get my position back! Once I regain my position, we’ll be able to return to that luxurious life!"
She slammed something onto the table.
"If I allow the stain of being fired from the Women’s Protection Association to remain on my reputation, do you think I’ll be able to earn anything in the future?"
Rong Qing’s face darkened. "I can earn money for you! Or you could simply marry another man for his wealth!"
Feng Lian laughed bitterly. "Easy for you to say. I’m the one who would have to serve an extra husband!"
She suddenly became furious.
"I must have been an idiot to let that fool Fu go into that dangerous battle! If he were still here, he would continue earning money for me, and I wouldn’t have to consider marrying another man just for a little money!"
Rong Qing’s expression changed immediately. His face became sour. Feng Lian noticed it but merely snorted.
Fu Sinan saw the argument from the gate and said,
"Now that I’ve seen her pathetic state, I suddenly don’t want to acknowledge her at all."
Ni Mengxue nodded. "All right. Let’s leave."
The moment they turned around, Rong Qing noticed Fu Sinan. His eyes widened. "You brat! What are you doing here?"
His furious shout immediately attracted everyone’s attention. Ni Mengxue glanced at Fu Sinan.
Her expression seemed to say, ’This is your fault.’
Fu Sinan looked at her calmly. "Calm down. Are you really going to scold a child now? Don’t you think you should show some compassion?"
Ni Mengxue shook her head. "Honestly, I don’t have any compassion at all."
She paused before adding matter-of-factly,
"The reason I saved you in the first place is that I’m certain of my prediction. It won’t go wrong."
Fu Sinan’s expression froze for a moment. At that instant, Rong Qing raised his hand and swung it toward him.
Fu Sinan didn’t dodge. Instead, he calmly lifted his leg and kicked Rong Qing in the knee.
He expected the man to stumble. He didn’t expect him to fly backward.
Rong Qing crashed heavily onto the ground several meters away.
Fu Sinan stared at his own leg. His eyes widened slightly.
He slowly looked down at himself as though he had just discovered something astonishing.
’My God... I didn’t realize I had this much strength.’
The next moment, Ni Mengxue’s cocky voice rang out.
"Did you ask the dog’s master before trying to beat the dog?"
Fu Sinan froze. He slowly turned his head toward her.
Ni Mengxue looked completely innocent. Ren Qin lowered his face.
His shoulders trembled. He almost burst out laughing.
’Did she really just call Fu Sinan a dog... directly to his face?’
Rong Qing finally recovered from the shock and pointed angrily at Ni Mengxue.
"Who the hell are you? Why are you interfering in our family matters?"
Ni Mengxue’s voice, however, had already attracted Feng Lian’s attention. Feng Lian walked out, and the moment she saw Ni Mengxue, her expression immediately became ugly.
"Why the fuck are you here?"
Ni Mengxue shrugged. "Well, your husband invited me. He wanted me to be his mistress."
The moment those words left her mouth, Rong Qing’s expression darkened. "You are lying!"
However, Feng Lian believed Ni Mengxue without the slightest hesitation. She immediately turned around and started beating Rong Qing.
"You bastard! How dare you?!"
Rong Qing hurriedly raised his arms to protect his face. "Feng Lian! Listen to me! She’s lying!"
Fu Sinan quietly tugged at Ni Mengxue’s clothes. "Let’s leave."
Ni Mengxue nodded. "Good idea."
She had truly run out of patience.
Rong Qing was the same man who had constantly encouraged Feng Lian to abandon Fu Sinan and Fu Jing. He was also the one who had forced the orphanage director to leave and had spread all sorts of vicious rumors about him.
He had claimed that the orphanage director was having an affair.
He had even spread rumors that the two sons Feng Lian had given birth to had been switched at birth and weren’t even her biological children.
Instead of conducting a DNA test and figuring out the truth, the brainless Feng Lian had simply believed him.
She had kicked Fu Sinan and Fu Jing out without a second thought.
And rather than taking their side, the orphanage director went to fight zombies to prove he didn’t have any affair. Like seriously? Killing zombies could only prove you don’t have an affair with them.
Honestly, Ni Mengxue couldn’t decide whether the situation was tragic or ridiculous.
It was truly tragic for two children to be born to such foolish parents. As she walked away, Fu Sinan suddenly looked up at her.
"Why are you helping us so much?"
Ni Mengxue chuckled. "Because my husband is related to your father."
Fu Sinan’s eyes flashed. He had long sensed that Ni Mengxue wouldn’t help him for no reason.
Now that he knew there was a social connection he could rely on, a faint sense of relief filled his heart.
At least, when he returned tonight, he and Fu Jing wouldn’t have to worry about surviving on their own.
When Ni Mengxue returned to the apartment with Fu Sinan and Fu Jing, she found Lu Yucai sitting in his wheelchair while listening to a report from one of his subordinates.
The moment he saw Ni Mengxue enter with two unfamiliar children, he frowned.
Fu Jing was noticeably cautious. Fu Sinan, however, was much more straightforward.
He walked up to Lu Yucai and bowed politely.
"Hello, Uncle."
