310 Jealousy
Inspector Fin grabbed tightly onto the steering until his knuckles turned white. That cursed guy was holding his woman on her waist as they smiled into the restaurant!
“How dare you two!?” He roared.
Just then, his phone rang again. Without looking, he pressed the button on his airpod and yelled into. it. “What the f*ck do you want?!!”
“Ouch man, my ear.”
Startled, Inspector Fin immediately apologized, “Sorry, dude, I was-”
“No apologies between brothers. Where are you? Still at work?”
“No, where are you?” Inspector Fin asked.
“I’m at a bar, mind keeping me company?”
“Your location…”
Inspector Fin and Rex were seen at a bar drinking and talking.
“Bro, it’s hard man, the look in her eyes almost melted my heart.” Rex drank from his cup again.
Inspector Fin sighed, “I think it’s time,” he said.
“I also want to give her a chance but not with that woman in the picture,” he frowned.
“Piper is different,” Inspector Fin patted Rex’s shoulder.
Rex shook his head, “not much difference between her and that woman. There’s that Xu idiot too, I’m sure he’d cause trouble once we accept Piper.”
Inspector Fin smiled, “You can cause him some trouble, what do you say?”
“Ah, right. It would be fun but… I don’t want to be disappointed.”
“You’ll be fine bro,” Inspector Fin assured while slowly drinking himself to stupor.
Feng Long arrived at the hospital to see Piper with flowers but when he got there, he met Piper trying to leave her room.
“Hey,” he greeted.
However, Piper ignored him. With the help of Manager Sarafina, she left Feng Long in the room.
Feng Long expected this to be the outcome but the cold treatment still hurts his heart.
He followed them out of the room and saw them heading to Brian’s room. Feng Long felt a sharp pain in his heart. He didn’t want to feel angry, but why was he suddenly angry?
He left the fresh flowers on the hospital bed and left the hospital in sorrow.
Inside the car, Feng Long started his car and was about to start driving when he received a call from
home.
“Young Master, please, return home… your mother-”
Feng Long didn’t wait to hear the whole story before ending the call and speeding out of the hospital’s car park.
At the Feng mansion…
The family looked gloomy as most of them sat in the living room, waiting for whoever and whatever it
was.
Feng Long barged into the room and abruptly came to a stop by the sitting room’s door.
He was breathing heavily, evidence that he had been running.
“Longer,” an old woman called him from her seat.
Feng Long looked at everyone one after the other before running towards the stairs.
“I told you he’d be angry,” a middle–aged woman said.
“Even so, he shouldn’t have ignored everyone, including grandmother like that!” A young lady disapproved with displeasure, lacing her tone.
“Your brother just lost his mother, you should be considerate,” the middle–aged woman softly reprimanded her daughter.
“Mom, please! He should be happy that the embarrassing thing finally died-”
“Impudence!” The old grandmother yelled. “What is wrong with your daughter? Is this how you raise your children?!”
“Mother, please don’t be angry, Sarah is just a child, she’ll learn proper manners as she grows,” the middle–aged, woman pleaded.
“Hmph,” the old grandmother harrumphed and rolled her eyes.
“Why is grandmother angry? Isn’t it a blessing that the money–wasting woman finally died? Is there anyone here who isn’t happy that she died? You all are just simply hypocrites!” The young lady, as old as Piper, yelled.
“Sarah!” Her mother gently ‘slapped‘ her back, “don’t talk nonsense-”
“The ‘nonsense‘ indeed made sense. It was my mistake for not doing the needful when it was obvious how my mother was perceived in this family. I’m sorry for inconveniencing everyone,” Feng Long bowed from the top of the stairs as he stared down at almost all his family members.
“Longer, what do you want to do? Please, child, come to grandmother; let grandmother console you” The old woman got up, waiting for her grandson like she always used to.
However, this time, Feng Long smiled faintly. He turned and started heading back
“See what you’ve caused?!” The old woman yelled at Sarah.
“Grandma, I didn’t do anything, I was only stating the truth. Was I the one who killed–her? You should be mad at oldest brother, not me!” Sarah snorted and stormed out.
