Chapter 287 - Getting In Touch

“Sister Ling, I can’t get in touch with Fu Le anymore.” Feng Man was filled with grievances.

Ding Ling’s expressions turned solemn upon hearing these words. She asked, “Have you tried calling his family or the company? Did you try calling his father?”

Feng Man nodded.

Ding Ling reached out and held Feng Man’s hand before she said with a sigh, “They’re bullying you. Didn’t Fu Le’s aunt say that she’ll let you marry into the family if you’re willing to confirm your relationship with Chairman Mu? Have you thought about what she said?”

Feng Man’s gaze fell on the cot. She did not say anything for a long time.

Ding Ling looked at Feng Man worriedly.

Feng Man finally asked, “How’s Song Ning?”

Ding Ling looked confused by the question but replied, “She’s okay. The fetus was disturbed so it was a little dangerous in the beginning. However, the director of the Obstetrics and Gynecology Department stepped in, and her professor, Professor Li Sen, administered the acupuncture needles for her. In the end, everything went well…”

“Was Chairman Mu with her?” Feng Man asked again.

Ding Ling nodded. “Yes, he never left her side.”

Feng Man smiled bitterly. “Tell me, why is her life so good? I used to envy her. I used to wonder how someone so cold and aloof like her could have an outstanding boyfriend like Fu Le.” After a beat, she continued to say, “After I seduced Fu Le, he fell in love with me. At that time, I felt really proud. In fact, I felt especially proud that I managed to snatch Song Ning’s man. Moreover, not only does Fu Le come from a wealthy family, but he has very good qualifications as well. Sister Ling, I’m not ashamed to tell you that it was the best time of life. I look forward to our future every day, and I especially looked forward to seeing Song Ning sad and disappointed.”

Feng Man sniffed. After a moment, she said, “Sister Ling, can you help me make an appointment with Chairman Mu? I want to see him.”

Ding Ling was taken aback. “Make an appointment with Chairman Mu? You want to see him?”

Feng Man remained silent. After a moment, she raised her head in a daze and muttered, “That’s right. Even if I make an appointment, he likely won’t meet me? Who am I? Why would he meet me?”

Ding Ling kept quiet; she did not know what to say.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

Feng Man smiled bitterly. “Forget it. Let’s talk about it later. Sister Ling, can you use your phone to call Fu Le? Tell him that if he doesn’t come and see me, he’ll regret it for the rest of his life.”

Ding Ling took out her phone hesitantly before she called Fu Le in front of Feng Man.

The phone rang a few times before it connected.

“Hello?”

Feng Man hurriedly snatched the phone out of Ding Ling’s hand. “Fu Le, it’s me!”

That was all Feng Man said before she burst into tears.

“Man… Manman…” Fu Le called out hesitantly.

“Fu Le, I gave birth to our daughter. Aren’t you coming to visit us?” Feng Man said through her tears.

There was no sound on the other end of the line.

Feng Man sobbed. She said pleadingly, “Fu Le, have you forgotten your promise to me? Why are you avoiding me? I gave birth to our daughter! Why aren’t you here to see me and our daughter?”

Alas, only the sound of the call being disconnected rang in Feng Man’s ears.

Feng man looked at the screen of the phone that had turned black in disbelief. Fu Le did not say a word and hung up on her.

Ding Ling could not hold back anymore and said, “Feng Man, don’t call him anymore. You’re only hurting yourself.”

Feng Man returned the phone to Ding Ling and smiled sadly. “Alright. I won’t disturb him anymore, and I won’t hurt myself anymore. I’ve been so stupid…”

Feng Man reached out and gestured to Ding Ling to bring her daughter to her. Her daughter was sleeping so soundly. She pressed her cheek against her daughter’s cheek as tears rolled down her face. “Some people are just born with a hard life…”

Ding Ling comforted her. “Don’t think like that. There are thousands of paths in this world! You can rely on yourself; you don’t need to rely on a man! Look at how cute your daughter is! You have to be strong for her!”

Feng Man nodded with tears in her eyes.
