Chapter 599: Chapter 599

Pu Sangzhi was thinking that it wouldn’t work, her mind was figuring out how to gently refuse the elder...

For quite some time, unable to find a reason, she showed no reaction, and Zhao Xiuqin, not receiving a reply, understood.

Zhao Xiuqin was an understanding elder too, and seeing that Sangzhi was not one to easily soften, she probably understood that she couldn’t be the good person in the middle...

So, to relieve the awkwardness, Zhao Xiuqin said, "Child, I won’t force you. You see, you are not a saint, it’s not obligatory to forgive others."

Hearing Zhao Xiuqin say this, a weight seemed to lift from Sangzhi’s heart, and she quickly nodded to Zhao Xiuqin, "Thank you for understanding, Auntie."

Zhao Xiuqin’s face still bore a friendly smile as she continued, "Child, but I believe in you, you’re a good kid. Even if you don’t forgive Feiyi, surely you won’t kick her while she’s down, right?"

Sangzhi was startled for a moment, it took her a few seconds to grasp what Zhao Xiuqin had said, and she quickly replied: "Don’t worry, Auntie, I won’t kick anyone when they’re down. I am already grateful to be able to attend school; just let me complete high school in peace."

"I knew you were a good child!"

Zhao Xiuqin’s joy was evident as she patted the back of Sangzhi’s hand, "You’re different from our Feiyi. She’s stubborn, and no matter what I say, I can’t get through to her. Fortunately, our Xiaolei is very concerned about you. He never allows her to speak ill of you at home. Sometimes, she’s even afraid of Xiaolei; you may not have seen Xiaolei lose his temper, but when he does, Feiyi gets so scared she backs down!"

Sangzhi was not sure how to respond and could only make a perfunctory reply .

Zhao Xiuqin was both asking her to forgive Han Feiyi and praising Han Lei in front of her. Sangzhi seemed to understand some of the double meaning in her words...

She felt Zhao Xiuqin was being overly enthusiastic...

It gave Sangzhi a sense of unease similar to facing Huo Feng’s mother’s strangeness!

"Yes, Xiaolei genuinely likes you. Ever since the summer vacation, I’ve heard about you from him every day. I’m also aware of the recent issues with your family. It almost drove Xiaolei crazy; he was constantly with his dad at home, discussing ways to help."

Zhao Xiuqin said this while gently patting the back of Sangzhi’s hand, "When you have time, ask Xiaolei to hang out more. He’s an odd kid and doesn’t have many friends. He really treasures your friendship since he met you during the vacation. Auntie hopes that you won’t let the disgraceful acts of our Feiyi affect your view of Xiaolei. His heart is with you, Auntie can vouch for that!"

Upon hearing this, Sangzhi nodded, "Hmm, don’t worry, Auntie. Han Lei and I are still friends. Thanks for everything he has done for me."

Zhao Xiuqin was delighted upon hearing this, "Then how about this, I’ll treat you to a meal later as an apology on behalf of Feiyi, and I’ll also call Xiaolei over. He’s been constantly worried about you; you can chat with him, cheer him up a bit, how does that sound?"

Sangzhi thought to herself: Not good at all!

Just as Zhao Xiuqin was urging Sangzhi to have a meal with the Han siblings in the teaware shop, outside the teaware shop, Huo Feng, having finished a phone call and preparing to return, was now facing Han Feiyi who had chased after him.

Sometimes, circumstances can be so chaotic, sometimes, fate seems to enjoy orchestrating such strange scenarios.

Huo Feng had just taken a non-urgent call from Pan Bo, and when he turned around, there was Han Feiyi...

To encounter Han Feiyi right after such an incident made Huo Feng wonder: Could the chubby one be a spy?

Of course, Han Feiyi would not miss such a rare opportunity.

She had stood behind Huo Feng for the duration of a phone call, hesitating over how to swallow her pride and start a conversation with him.

But before she could prepare herself, Huo Feng unexpectedly turned around and they stood face to face, eyes meeting...

However, when their gazes collided in the air, there was no unexpected spark; there was only Huo Feng’s disgust and disdain.

Han Feiyi had finally swallowed her pride, forgoing her self-esteem to seek out Huo Feng.

God knew, facing Huo Feng’s expression of distaste, it took courage just to speak...

At that moment, Feiyi had mustered all her courage to speak to him, "I, I have something I want to say to you."

However, her timing was indeed spot on.

Huo Feng really did have something he intended to discuss with her.

Because Sangzhi had told him last time to take care of the matter with Han Feiyi himself, so as not to cause her further trouble. He felt that was the right thing to do...

He shouldn’t let Han Feiyi continue to bring problems to Sangzhi.

After all, men typically have to handle women who turned their love into hate, right?

Thinking this, Huo Feng casually slipped his hands into his pockets and leaned slightly to one side, adopting a comfortable and natural stance as if willing to give her a chance to talk.

Such a response was a pleasant surprise for Han Feiyi.

Gaining courage, Han Feiyi boldly took several steps forward, reducing the distance between her and Huo Feng to one meter before stopping...

"I, I want to explain about last time, the incident with Pu Sangzhi."

Han Feiyi clasped her hands in front of her, bowed her head slightly, and said softly and cautiously, "Actually, the reason I said those things to those people that day was because I was threatened, too."

Huo Feng’s eyebrow raised in response!

He thought: The nerve of this person, to come in front of Huo Feng and put on an act? Is she underestimating Huo Feng’s intelligence?!

"In fact, that day, I wasn’t in a good mood. I had just had a fight with my brother and was walking alone toward the Beimen, and then, unexpectedly, I ran into three people who were climbing over the wall from the Beimen side. I was really scared at that moment, and I wanted to run away, but after only a few steps, those people grabbed me and dragged me back..."

Han Feiyi paused here, gently biting her lower lip, looking pitiful with a wretched expression.

Watching her contrived expressions, Huo Feng’s brow twitched, and he couldn’t help but curl his lips in disdain!

He thought: Can she fabricate stories so well? No wonder the school administrators were completely fooled! Did she think there were no surveillance cameras at Beimen?

However, speaking of which... Tʜe source of this ᴄontent ɪs 𝘯𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭·𝓯𝓲𝓻𝓮·𝙣𝙚𝙩

The surveillance cameras at Beimen had been smashed by Huo Feng and a few friends when they were skipping class using stones.

Beimen seemed to be an unimportant spot, so when the security guards found out, they said they would replace it, but they kept postponing it...

Things should not be delayed, just surveillance camera; delay after delay, and now it’s gone...

At this moment, Huo Feng actually felt a bit of regret for impulsively smashing the Beimen’s cameras back in the day. Now it had become the amulet for this little white lotus!

"You, you might not believe what I’m saying. But everything I’m telling you is true, I can swear on it."

Seeing that Huo Feng remained silent, Han Feiyi guessed that he must not believe her story, so she gritted her teeth and made a bold statement to add persuasiveness to her words.

"That day, I was indeed caught by those three men. There weren’t many students passing by the Beimen then, only me, alone. I was a girl facing such big and strong men, and I was truly scared. I, I was even subjected to indecency by one of the men..."

As she spoke, Han Feiyi’s head bowed even lower, "That man said I was pretty good-looking, then... then touched my face. I was so scared at that moment, and in desperation, I blurted out the thing about Pu Sangzhi..."

Huo Feng seemed to have listened to her entire story. He nodded and said at a measured pace, "According to what you’re saying, you traded Sangzhi’s information for your own chastity?"

Han Feiyi didn’t expect Huo Feng to ask her that. His question stumped her momentarily, and it took her several minutes to find her reasoning and respond, "I’m sorry to her, sorry to you... I’m also sorry to the school and the teachers... But the truth really isn’t what was written in that post, nor is it what those three men said. I am wrong, but the situation isn’t like that. I just want to... I can avoid explaining to the whole school, but I don’t want you to misunderstand."

With that last sentence, coupled with Han Feiyi’s pitiful gaze, it was undoubtedly a killer move against straight men!

Huo Feng thought: At this moment, if it were any other man in the world facing her, they might be swayed by her words, right?

But unfortunately, the one facing her now was Huo Feng!

It was the man who only had eyes and heart for Pu Sangzhi, who saw all other women as nothing but rubbish, the master at discerning false women, Huo Feng!

So, Huo Feng just curled the corner of his mouth and chuckled ’hmm hmm’, saying, "Hmm..."

Han Feiyi, once again unable to read Huo Feng’s reaction, could only guess and continue her performance, saying, "I just hope you don’t get the wrong idea about me. Even if you don’t like me, I still hope to leave a good impression in your heart."

Huo Feng asked, "Have you finished?"

Han Feiyi pressed her lips together and said, "I still, like you a lot..."

Huo Feng thought: But what to do!

He still found her ugly!
