Chapter 429 - Why Are You Always Spying?

“You can have anything you want. Just give that photo back to me.”

It was Feng Shanshan’s most precious belonging. Even if the scumbag did tear it apart, she would want the remains.

“Then come here and get down on your knees like a good girl.”

The scumbag hooked a finger at her.

“Can’t you spare me for my miscarriage’s sake?”

“I told you to leave, but you screwed around so now I’ve changed my mind.” The scumbag raised his brow and put the photo on the table in front of him. “Get over here, kneel, and apologize—then I’ll let you take your photo.”

Holding back her temper and with no options left, Feng Shanshan walked up to the scumbag and dropped down on her knees over the green grass, with the scumbag then kicking her into the dirt.

“Stinking bitch. Embarrassing me in public… I’ll give you that.”

Sprawled over the ground, Feng Shanshan clenched her fists but could not retaliate.

But that was when the scumbag’s parents suddenly arrived at their son’s mansion in their car.

When he saw his parents’ car outside the gates, he quickly helped Feng Shanshan up and asked pretentiously, “Why did you fall over, Shanshan?”

Even so, the scumbag’s father was not fooled. He got off his car and stormed towards the scumbag, picked up a nearby stool and smashed it over his son’s bag.

The scumbag promptly dropped to the ground and rolled around in agony.

“Come inside!”

The man’s burly form was exuding an air of absolute superiority even as he dragged the scumbag inside the living room, with the scumbag screaming all the way.

The truth was that the parents had arrived before Feng Shanshan scrounge through the rubbish bin.

The reason for that was because Zhongteng’s people had approached them and was talking about an acquisition, leaving them very confused.

Today, they gave them a phone call telling them to go home to take care of their son.

If the scumbag’s father had not seen how that beast was humiliating the girl, he would really have thought that he was innocent.

But having seen what he did, the father really couldn’t say a thing.

He did not know how he managed to raise such a beast.

At the same time, the scumbag’s mother helped up Feng Shanshan and brought her into the living room too. Both she and her husband were aware of Feng Shanshan’s relationship with their son, although with her coming from an average family, they had never met her.

They certainly did not expect that their first meeting was under such circumstances.

***

Feng Shanshan had no idea what had happened, and simply followed everyone into the living room, where the scumbag’s father found a golf club and swung it heavily on his own son.

He only stopped when the scumbag started puking blood.

“Dad, you are killing me.”

“That would be letting you off easily. I would have cut you apart if it wasn’t breaking the law.” The scumbag’s father told him. “Even if you had always fooled around, don’t you even know that you should never insult people you shouldn’t cross? If my company goes bankrupt, you would be begging out in the streets, let alone a rich kid. And you would still make the girl kneel?”

“Let me tell you this: I’m not giving you a single cent from today onwards. I’ll see how you would fool around now.”

The scumbag was groaning on the floor—he would probably be hospitalized over half a month after that beating.

“Dad, our family is so rich. Who else could you give it to other than me?”

“I would donate it off than give it to you.”

With that, the scumbag’s father rose from the sofa and came to Feng Shanshan. “I didn’t know that beast was like this,” he told her. “I’ve even heard that your body suffered because of him two days ago, but I don’t have anything to give in recompense. All I can do is offer you some kind words, and hope that you would find happiness in the future.”

Feng Shanshan looked at him and the cheque he was offering, but did not accept it. “I’ve never used his money in the years I’ve been with him, which is why I don’t want it now either. I drove enough of his sports car and whatnot, and threw away the bank card he gave me before. All I want is my parent’s photo.”

With that, Feng Shanshan turned, intent on leaving the scumbag’s house.

At her words, the scumbag’s father kicked the scumbag a few more times.

“Miss Feng, I hope that you could say some nice words to Zhongteng’s boss when you return. I’ll definitely keep a close eye on my son.”

Feng Shanshan had no idea what the man was talking about. She simply collected her parent’s photo from the garden and left the scumbag’s house.

At least she got to see the scumbag getting a beating with her own eyes, which more or less allowed her some solace.

Still, she did not believe that arrival of the scumbag’s parents was such a coincidence, and there was what the father mentioned about saying some nice words to Zhongteng’s boss.

But she did not have the faintest idea who was the boss of Zhongteng.

Moreover, the only one who could poke her nose in her business was only Mu Qiqi.

Wait.

Mu Qiqi… and Zhongteng?

Though Feng Shanshan herself was kicked, it did not hurt her much, and trivial in comparison to what the scumbag suffered.

Soon, when she returned to the forensics lab, she looked out some transparent tape, pieced together the photo and put it in her pocket.

Mu Qiqi, who came out after an experiment saw it. “I really didn’t take you for a good daughter.”

“Why are you always spying on others?”

“Take a look around. You’re inside a forensics lab, and everything is out in the open for everyone else to see. You could have waited to paste it at home instead.”

Feng Shanshan had nothing to say against that, but spoke again after a brief pause, “Did you help me just now?”

“What does that have to do with me?”

“Nobody in this world cares about me.” Feng Shanshan said. “The photo you see is the last my parents took together when I was fifteen, before their divorce. They started different families afterward, and doesn’t ask after me aside from transferring the same amount of money every month.”

“But why am I telling you this? It’s not like you were better off back when you were with the Mu family, and everyone was always talking about it.”n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

Mu Qiqi said nothing, and merely quietly washed her containers.

“Your family founded Zhongteng, didn’t they? Or was it the Crown Prince?

“How could you tell?”

“I can’t think of any reason otherwise that the people from Zhongteng would help a hateful person like me whom they didn’t know.”

Mu Qiqi turned around to look at Feng Shanshan at those words. “So, are you going to tell the Sheng family?”

Feng Shanshan smiled but said nothing.

Nevertheless, Mu Qiqi was sure that she wouldn’t—Feng Shanshan might be prideful, but she was no ingrate.
