And the only downside was that, to cover up the mechanical prostheses, she might never be able to wear short skirts or shorts for the rest of her life, only long pants to hide what was so ugly for a woman.
Upon seeing Nangong He, Nangong Feifei rushed over!
"Grandfather, you’re back!?" The moment she saw Nangong He, a glimmer of hope sparked in Nangong Feifei’s eyes.
She did not want to live this ugly, loving beauty was every woman’s nature, but now she was a cripple, unable even to dance the simplest dance!
"Have you found a cure for my legs?" she asked urgently, not wanting to be a cripple!
Facing his granddaughter, Nangong He’s expression darkened, and he shook his head.
Nangong Feifei’s face fell, and her heart felt as if it had been hollowed out.
Seeing her disappointment, Nangong He quickly spoke again, "But rest assured! Although I have not found a cure yet, I have found another way, so that you won’t look like a cripple."
At these words, Nangong Feifei’s eyes lifted again, "What do you mean by ’not looking like a cripple’?"
Nangong He was silent for a few seconds.
At this moment, Nangong Mingchuan and Tang Yuyan came downstairs.
"Dad, what method are you talking about?" Nangong Mingchuan asked, looking at Nangong He.
Scanning everyone’s faces, Nangong He frowned and began, "It’s about fitting Feifei with mechanical prostheses so she can walk like a normal person. The only downside is..." He paused, his face showing difficulty as he looked at his granddaughter, Nangong Feifei, "it’s not aesthetically pleasing, and you might not be able to wear beautiful dresses."
At these words, Nangong Feifei felt no joy at all.
She did not want to be a cripple simply because it would affect her appearance. If she were doomed to never wear dresses, how could she attend balls or enjoy her summers!
"It’s all Gu Qiangwei’s fault! I want to kill her!"
In her agitation, she began to lose control of her emotions!
"Feifei, calm down first! Grandpa promises, I will definitely cure your legs, ah." Nangong He tried to soothe her as best he could.
"You don’t have to lie to me, my legs are beyond cure... Grandfather, if you really care about me, then..." she suddenly halted her tears and gripped Nangong He’s arm excitedly, "then help me kill Gu Qiangwei, please? I want her dead, I want her dead!"
As she repeatedly demanded Gu Qiangwei’s death, it provoked Nangong Mingchuan to shout angrily, his face also contorted in rage!
At his shout, Nangong Feifei seemed to be frightened, and her voice instantly stopped.
"You keep demanding someone’s murder; do you even know who you are!?"
Confronted by Nangong Mingchuan’s scolding, Nangong Feifei grew even more resentful! She felt that the whole world was siding with Gu Qiangwei and bullying her!
"Daddy! Why do I always feel like you are speaking for that Gu Qiangwei!? Who really is your daughter!? If you truly love me, if you really acknowledge your own flesh and blood, then kill Gu—"
Before she could finish, a loud slap landed on her left cheek.
Nangong He and Tang Yuyan were both stunned.
Though Nangong Mingchuan was often abroad, he was quite fond of this daughter and had never hit her before.
"Dad, did you hit me?" Nangong Feifei was shocked, staring incredulously at her father in front of her.
And on Nangong Mingchuan’s face, there was no trace of compassion, only heartache!
