Chapter 1416: Chapter 1409: Father and Daughter (7)
Her parents had an arranged marriage, but actually, it was Xue’s mother who first took a liking to her father. Moreover, although Xue’s father was a college student and classmate of Lu Weixi’s parents, his family was poor. He was able to complete his university studies and establish himself in Yan City only with the financial support of his father-in-law. One could say that in this relationship, Xue’s mother contributed more. Thus, when Xue’s father left, the impact on her mother was much greater.
The incident Xue Jizong stirred up on Weibo was quickly suppressed, and it vanished without causing even a ripple. Over the years, she and her mother had been treating it as if her father had died. Her mother had just barely managed to find peace and returned to her hotown to enjoy her later years. If Xue Jizong’s demands were not too excessive, couldn’t she handle them by herself? Why trouble her mother?
Moreover, her father disappeared six years ago. The person online now, is that really her father? Or is soone using his identity to swindle money?
What’s deadly is, since Xue’s father disappeared, it has been six years now. Xue’s mother always felt he would return, so she never reported him as a missing person to the police. In other words, they are still legally husband and wife.
Xue Feifei previously knew soone at the police station and had tried checking Xue Jizong’s travel records. Perhaps for fear of loan sharks reviewing accounts, he hadn’t used his identification docunts once in these six years since he ran away; it’s unknown whether he’s dead or alive.
After thinking it over, she still ended up dialing the phone. Mother and daughter exchanged a few pleasantries first; her mother asked about her work, and Xue Feifei smiled saying she just started a new drama.
Once the work topic was finished, Xue Feifei tentatively asked, “Mom, how about you? How have you been recently?”
Actually, before she asked this, she roughly knew her mother was probably unaware of the situation regarding Xue Jizong. If she had known, the tone of their conversation wouldn’t be so light and cheerful, and she wouldn’t have spent so long without ntioning her dad.
“I’m quite fine. I walk the dog during the day, and dance at night. Next month, I even plan to go overseas with so girlfriends.”
“Mom, why don’t you go now?”
Xue’s mother was a bit puzzled: “It’s booked for next month. The prices are better then. Why go now? I haven’t even gotten the visa sorted out yet.”
“Oh, I was just thinking the weather has been nice recently. Or how about you travel within the country this month? I can pay for it. How much will you need?”
Xue’s mother beca more puzzled: “Feifei, what’s wrong? Did sothing happen on your side?”
“Nothing, what can happen to ? It’s just… I’ve always been away from your side, unable to fulfill my filial duties, and want to compensate a bit more.”
Xue’s mother relaxed: “You child. My life is very good now. I have food to eat, a place to sleep, and I can even travel abroad occasionally. The friends around , those with sons are preparing to buy houses and take care of grandchildren for them. Those with daughters are preparing dowries and even helping out in the postpartum period. Many people know you are capable. Every year, you send back quite a bit of money, and they are very envious indeed.”
“That’s right, I look like my mom, beautiful, so I can now be an actress.”
Xue’s mother still shook her head: “Actually, you resemble your dad more.”
As soon as Xue’s father was ntioned, Xue Feifei’s mood suddenly sank. Then she deliberately raised her voice, putting on a teasing expression and laughed: “Well then, I’m still not at ease since I’m not with you. Why don’t you find soone to keep you company?”
