Kang Li left the train station and went straight back to Shuimu University. Naturally, she had no idea that Xu Chunxia had gone to the compound to look for her, and even less that Xu Chunxia was bold enough to go to the Feng family to look for Fang Su.
"You are..."
Seeing Xu Chunxia, Old Master Feng didn’t recognize her right away. It wasn’t that his eyesight had grown muddled with age; it was that the changes in Xu Chunxia compared to before she left the Feng family were truly huge. So now, watching her drag two large suitcases into the living room, Old Master Feng’s expression froze for a moment.
"Uncle, you don’t recognize me anymore?" Xu Chunxia smiled, spoke like she was familiar: "I’m Leilei. Uncle Feng, do you know who I am now?" Without waiting for Old Master Feng to speak, she added, "Where’s my mom? Is she not at home or did she go out on some errand?"
Back when she was in the Feng family, following Fang Su’s instructions, Xu Chunxia had addressed Old Master Feng as "Uncle." Now seeing him again, with the thick skin she’d honed outside, her tongue was slick, and she acted as if she weren’t an outsider at all. Swaying her hips, she sat down on the sofa opposite Old Master Feng.
Only then did Old Master Feng fully come back to himself. His expression grew heavy; he frowned and said, "How did you get in?"
"Listen to what you’re saying, Uncle Feng. Of course I walked in on my own two legs." Xu Chunxia sized up the living room, then lifted her eyes to glance upstairs. "It’s been a few years, but the house is still the same as before."
Old Master Feng was an old hand, refined by years of experience. It wasn’t hard for him to see the air of the streets on her from her words and behavior. Sure enough, his face obviously darkened. He said in a deep voice, "You’ve come to the wrong place. I’m asking you to leave at once."
"Uncle, are you driving me away? But other than coming back to the Feng family, I’ve got nowhere to go! Besides, my mom is the mistress of this house. You’re my mom’s husband, my stepfather—how can you just open your mouth and tell me to get out?"
As she spoke, tears glimmered in Xu Chunxia’s eyes. "Life’s been so hard for me these past few years out there. Now I finally managed to come back, and before I’ve even seen my mom’s face, you’re throwing me out. Are you planning to have me sleep on the street?"
