Chapter 978: The Story of Ling and Heng (241)

Qiao Fei did not force Feng Ling to change clothes. Although there were a few hours before the dinner party, he did not offer to take her to a room to rest.

Instead, he ordered the VIP lounge beside the banquet hall on the ground floor for her to rest in.

Feng Ling sat on the sofa and played with her cell phone. Qiao Fei answered the calls from his family and his subordinates from time to time. There was not much communication between the two.

Or to be exact, Qiao Fei wanted to speak to her, but Feng Ling kept looking down at the phone and didn't speak to him.

She just wanted to do him a favor in return and didn't want to talk about anything else.

Although Feng Ling seemed easy-going, she was very stubborn. No one could easily make her change her mind. If she didn't want to do something, no one could make her do it.

She didn't like to explain or be polite.

An hour before the dinner party, Feng Ling was so bored that she was even a bit sleepy. She closed her eyes and rested for a while. Hearing the footsteps approaching, she opened her eyes, only to see that Qiao Fei brought her a cup of coffee.

"Drink a cup of coffee?" Qiao Fei put the coffee cup on the table next to her. Seeing that she finally stopped looking at her phone, he sat on the chair next to her. "I barely contact the people in the base after leaving the base. I just received a call from the base and asked about you. They said you suffered a serious injury in Cambodia. No wonder you don't look well. Have the snake venoms in your body been cleared? How about your shoulders and arms? Are there any sequelae?"

"I'm fine. I feel much better than when I just came back. At first, one of my arms was numb, but now, it's no longer numb. I think I should be fine if I do some rehabilitation," Feng Ling said while looking at him: "Does your family also do business? So you won't have any connections with the base in the future?"

"Probably, I was sent to the base just because I was too weak when I was a child. My parents wanted me to have a place to build up my body," Qiao Fei said with a smile."They didn't expect that I didn't want to leave the base in the end. If it weren't for the fact that my parents are not in good health, maybe I would have continued to stay in the base and compete fairly with Li Nanheng for a year or two."

He never mentioned when Li Nanheng had learned her secret. It seemed to be a tacit understanding between men. Needless to say, they could understand each other.

Compete fairly?

Feng Ling looked away from his face and continued to look at the screen of her phone.

Qiao Fei knew that she was rejecting him but he was used to it, so he just smiled and said, "Stand beside me during the dinner party. When I introduce you to others, you just need to smile and nod. You don't even need to speak."

"OK."

"Many famous Chinese families in Los Angeles will come here today. Have you ever seen the Feng family people? It's a coincidence that your surname is also Feng?" Qiao Fei said while looking at Feng Ling's face. "They will also come today. Perhaps you were relatives a hundred years ago. Are you glad to see your relatives?"

Feng Ling thought he was joking. "Are they my relatives? If the word engraved on my jade pendant is Qiao, I must be your sister!"

Qiao Fei raised his eyebrows. "What jade pendant?"

"Nothing. It's the jade pendant that I have been wearing since I was a kid. There is a word on it and I took that word as my surname." Feng Ling smiled. "Maybe this is not my surname at all. Maybe I'm an orphan or my parents hated me so they abandoned me? There are too many explanations for this word. It is not necessarily my real last name, so I don't think the Feng family people are my relatives, and... if a famous family like the Feng family lost a daughter, how could people not know it?"
