Meeting The Parents!
“Uncle Feng, you are too kind,” Lin Yi greeted, while not letting go of Tang Yun’s hand.
Lin Yi couldn’t express his feelings to Tang Yun that would cast away all doubts. He didn’t want her to worry! Tang Yun was happy that she could remain by his side.
Feng Tianlong was smiling the whole time as he led Lin Yi and Tang Yun into the room, it was a suite. It has a standalone living room. Feng Tianlong had Lin Yi and Tang Yun sit on the sofa, and took out drinks from the fridge, “I didn’t have the equipment to brew tea, please forgive me!”
“It is no big deal, we don’t like to drink tea,” Lin Yi accepted a bottled drink from Feng Tianlong. It was a rather well-known pomelo tea drink, but Lin Yi wasn’t interested in it so he handed it to Tang Yun.Feng Tianlong got himself a natural spring water bottle and sat across from Lin Yi and Tang Yun on another sofa. Then he started by saying “Lin Yi, Tang Yun, I am grateful that you have agreed to meet with me! I am very happy!”
“Uncle Feng, you and I have known each other for a long time already. No need for the formalities, so what do you need from me?” Lin Yi waved his hand. He knew that this formality was for Tang Yun to hear, but Lin Yi didn’t plan on hiding information from Tang Yun. If it was dangerous, then he might have hidden it from her, but if it is about meeting up with old friends, then there was no need to hide that fact.
Feng Tianlong nodded, “Okay, then I will get straight to the point! This time, I’m here to talk to you about Feng Xiaoxiao…”
“Uncle Feng, you already know that I have a girlfriend, so the things between me and Xiaoxiao are nonexistent. You should know that already,” Lin Yi had to clarify his stance in front of Tang Yun.
“I know, I know!” Feng Tianlong waved his hand. “It is just that Xiaoxiao is a simple-minded person, I can tell that you and her don’t have any special relationship!”
When Tang Yun heard Feng Tianlong confirming it out loud, the tension released. The events that she predicted hadn’t happened yet, Feng Tianlong hasn’t tried to use his money to force her away from him or vice versa.
“Oh? Then, Uncle Feng, you are here to…” Lin Yi suspiciously looked at Feng Tianlong.“It is like this, Xiaoxiao’s illness, you should know by now right?” Feng Tianlong sighed as he jumped right into the topic.
“Xiaoxiao has an illness? She is sick?” Lin Yi was puzzled. “I ate dinner with her, she doesn’t look like she is sick?”
“Oh? You didn’t know? Xiaoxiao didn’t talk to you about it before?” Feng Tianlong shrugged. “Well, it is like this, maybe it is because she likes you so she didn’t want to tell you so that you will pity her…”
Lin Yi was surprised by how strange Feng Tianlong sounded, “Uncle Feng, you mean that Xiaoxiao is sick?”
“She is not sick, it is a family genetic disease, but how come you haven’t detected it yet?” Feng Tianlong was surprised. “From my gathered information, you are a miracle doctor. You were able to cure Elder Liu, Liu Zhenhu, of his sickness. That was you right?”
Lin Yi frowned. It was understandable about how powerful Feng Tianlong’s information gathering network is, if he wanted to know something, it is not difficult for him! Lin Yi nodded, “that is right, I cured him!”
Seeing Lin Yi frown, Feng Tianlong spoke “News about you curing Elder Liu traveled far and wide. It isn’t a secret anymore. Especially in Yanjing upper society, the socialites started spreading the news! It seems that Elder Liu was the source of spreading it! I just caught wind of it!”
Feng Tianlong wasn’t wrong. His close henchmen were responsible for collecting any information on Lin Yi. The moment rumors of Liu Zhenhu getting healed had spread, Feng Tianlong was the first few to know!
Feng Tianlong wanted to wait several more days, but after he found out about the news, Feng Tianlong couldn’t suppress his urges! If Lin Yi could cure Liu Zhenhu’s illness, then maybe even Xiaoxiao’s illness could be curable?
When Feng Xiaoxiao had called him, Feng Tianlong had to get Lin Yi’s hotline! The reason why he had called Tang Yun over as well was so he has both his plan A and B in action!
If Lin Yi was willing to cure Feng Xiaoxiao that would be great, but if he wasn’t?
“So they personally spread the news…” Lin Yi sighed. He understood why House Liu has spread the news, for which they were supposed to keep it a secret. The reason for this timing was so that they don’t need to say it publicly, as it was self-evident!
They exposed the fact as a declaration of their stance to House Yu and Xiao! Since both noble Houses Yu and Xiao have regarded Lin Yi as an enemy, House Liu decided that they would stand by Lin Yi’s side!
Lin Yi understood their intentions, he didn’t intend to blame them. In fact, he thought that House Liu was quite interesting. They dared to do something as bold as this? Weren’t they afraid of getting wiped out by both House Yu and Xiao?
Regardless, Lin Yi started to have positive feelings toward House Liu. At least it removed the feeling of disgust when he associated them with Wu Huiru!
“Let’s continue talking about Feng Xiaoxiao!” Feng Tianlong continued. “If we needed to start talking about it, then we should start with Xiaoxiao’s mother. She carries a family genetic defect that affects only females in the family. The males become carriers for the next generation. Most affected females don’t live past twenty years old!”
“What? Genetic disease?” Lin Yi was surprised.”Then Xiaoxiao she…”
“Yes, Xiaoxiao also has this disease. The disease grows as her age grows. She will become weaker until the day she dies!” When Feng Tianlong got to this point, he was teary. This type of helpless sadness was something he knew was inevitable! Yet he didn’t have any method to help change her fate!
That year when his wife had passed, he was in so much pain. He had hoped that medical treatment would’ve advanced enough for his daughter’s disease to be cured! In a blink of an eye, nineteen years had gone by, he still had to watch his daughter get sick without any way of treating it!
It was because her daughter’s disease was very complicated that many health organizations didn’t want to focus their resources that didn’t benefit the general population!
“What? Dying? Xiaoxiao is only nineteen, then she…” Lin Yi had his eyes wide. He didn’t think that Feng Xiaoxiao had this weird disease that will accelerate her death! Obviously, Lin Yi didn’t think Feng Tianlong was joking around. It was too serious a matter to be joking around with Lin Yi.
Tang Yun was shocked by what she had heard. Her love rival, Feng Xiaoxiao, will soon leave this world!
