Luosang was disappointed. Was her father really a sexual predator? Was she suffering from karma in place of her dad? “Maybe I should go down to An City’s prison and talk to my dad.”
“Don’t go now,” Chi Shengxu said hurriedly. “Yi Jingxi has his eyes on you. Don’t give him an opportunity to create more news.”
“Yeah,” Aunty Feng agreed. “Do you want to come over and stay with us for a while? It’s not safe for you to be out there alone. I saw some extremist comments online.”
“Don’t worry, I won’t be staying at home,” Chi Shengxu joked. “My family’s villa is huge. You won’t find yourself bored there. It’s affinity that you bumped into my mom as well, your own mother’s old classmate.”
“It’s alright, I’ll go back to my own apartment.” Luosang refused. “If the media catches me at your place, your family will be implicated as well.”
Feng Ge shrugged, and the two of them decided to take her home instead. On the way back, Lu Kang called. “Don’t go back to the apartment. The bodyguards there told me that there were people splashing paint at your door.”
Luosang was shocked. “What about Susu?”
“I asked her to move to the company suites temporarily.” Lu Kang sounded agitated. “You should move to Tianhu Villa for the time being.”
“It’s ok. It’ll be awkward if Nian Junting’s grandma visits.” Luosang shook her head. “I’ll find someplace else.”
“Miss Xu, you don’t have anywhere to go, am I right? How about you move into one of my apartments…”
Before Lu Kang could finish, Feng Ge snatched the phone and said, “Don’t worry about Luosang, I’ve got it settled.”
Lu Kang was stunned. “Who are you?”
“I am Chi Shengxu’s mother.” She hung up immediately after that and instructed the chauffeur to change their course of travel. “Let’s go home.”
“Aunty…” Luosang was at a loss of words. Aunty Feng was a bossy woman.
“Don’t read too much into it. Our address is highly confidential, and we have security on the premises. The reporters won’t be able to find you there.” Feng Ge raised her brows at her. “Since I’ve already stepped forward, I will help you ’til the end. After all, it is rare to meet my ex-classmate’s daughter. I’m old now. I like to reminisce about the past. Don’t worry about Shengxu, either. His father and I have our own connections.”
“Yeah.” Chi Shengxu wiggled his eyebrows at her. “Just stay with us.”
Luosang opened her mouth, but she was at a loss of words. I guess I can learn more about my mother, too, Luosang thought.
…
Feng Ge’s villa was located in the most high-end estate in Xia City. It was in a discreet location and was surrounded by security personnel. Chi Shengxu was hardly at home while Feng Ge stayed at the villa with his father. Uncle Chi was a gentle and kind man.
After Luosang settled down, Nian Xi called and said angrily, “What’s going on Luosang? Where is my brother? Where on earth did he go when you needed him the most?”
“Your brother is on a business trip with Xiao Si.”
Nian Xi grunted. “What a useless man. He talks big all the time, but he doesn’t show up at crucial moments. My mother and grandpa are out in Finland. What are the two elderlies doing at a place so cold? Nothing is more important than my sister-in-law.”
Luosang was baffled. Nian Xi didn’t seem to know that his grandparents didn’t like her very much.
