Chapter 1667: Chapter 1299

"Eldest, a person must have a conscience. Although I married your aunt back then, my original intention was to take care of you and your three siblings..." Old Master Feng, wise with age, could easily detect Feng Wei’s reluctance. He said with a stern face, "And since your aunt became part of our family, regardless of her reasons for treating you siblings well, ultimately, you all benefited."

"I know."

Feng Wei replied.

"You’d better genuinely understand it." Old Master Feng’s voice was emotionless: "To be honest, ever since I married your aunt, knowing that you lost your birth mother, I was concerned that having her own children might make her neglect you, so I asked her not to have children in the short term, to which she agreed.

Later, when Xiao Yi was born, I was still worried that you might feel neglected, so I basically ignored Xiao Yi’s matters, treating the family as if it were still just the four of you. Perhaps this created an illusion for your aunt that I disliked Xiao Yi, leading her to also overlook his presence."

At this, Old Master Feng let out a long sigh: "In such a situation, you siblings likely followed my lead, not treating Xiao Yi as a brother. Reflecting on it now, the way you bullied Xiao Yi in your youth really went too far."

"Dad, is there any point in saying this now?"

Feng Wei’s face didn’t look good: "We siblings were wrong, but what’s done is done, we can’t reverse time, can we?"

"I want you to understand that in our family, you siblings and I as your father truly wronged Xiao Yi and his mother. Now, that Xiao Yi doesn’t want to return to the Feng family or acknowledge us is because we went too far back then. It’s not Xiao Yi’s fault that he wants to distance himself from us.

But when it comes to the matter concerning your aunt, neither I nor you siblings can shirk responsibility. We must care about her survival, understood?"

"..." Feng Yi was silent for a while before he said: "It’s about raising funds for the surgery, right? Since you mentioned it, neither I nor the Second Brother or Fourth Brother would ignore it."

Thinking about the success Feng Yi had achieved in recent years, and Kang Li’s background, Feng Wei’s thoughts involuntarily changed.

——Helping the stepmother Fang Su with the surgery costs might bring Feng Yi and Comrade Kang closer.

In such a rapidly changing world, having more connections can always be handy in the future.

Moreover, as he saw it, although Feng Yi had distanced himself from the family and didn’t want to return, the blood ties were undeniable; besides, Comrade Kang was the only daughter of Mr. Jiang Boya, and even though she didn’t acknowledge her biological mother, she couldn’t deny that she was born from her stepmother.

And whether it’s Feng Yi or Comrade Kang, they could certainly easily cover the surgery costs for his stepmother Fang Su. So, instead of being stingy about the stepmother’s surgery costs, he and the Second Brother and Fourth Brother might as well be straightforward and each bear a share and pay for the stepmother’s surgery. It might just leave a good impression on Feng Yi and Comrade Kang.

It would make talking easier when they meet in the future.

After weighing the pros and cons, Feng Wei felt much more at ease and no longer resisted Old Master Feng’s request that the brothers contribute to Fang Su’s surgery costs.

After taking Old Master Feng home, Feng Wei called Feng Kai and Feng Xiao separately from Old Master Feng’s study, said goodbye to Old Master Feng and Fang Su, and drove back to his own home.

"Big brother, is there something urgent you couldn’t say over the phone, that you had to call me and Second Brother here?" As soon as he entered the door, Feng Wei heard Feng Xiao’s voice. He looked up at Feng Xiao, then glanced at Feng Kai, and said, "Let’s go to my study." He handed his briefcase to his wife and motioned for Feng Kai and Feng Xiao to follow. The three of them walked into the study one after the other.

Feng Wei’s wife felt puzzled but didn’t think much of it. She glanced at the closed study door and put Feng Wei’s briefcase away in the bedroom.

In the study.

"What? Dad wants us to pay for that woman’s surgery? I disagree!" Upon hearing Feng Wei mention that the stepmother Fang Su had stomach cancer and needed surgery, and that their father wanted them to pool money, Feng Xiao immediately exploded with anger and said furiously, "That woman isn’t our real mother. Why should we pay for her surgery?"

Three years ago, Feng Xiao returned to work in North City, undoubtedly because Old Master Feng used his connections to arrange the transfer. Nowadays, Feng Xiao’s demeanor is more composed compared to when he had to leave North City with He Xue sticking to him, but as the saying goes, ’A leopard can’t change its spots.’ Therefore, when faced with matters affecting his own interests, this Fourth Brother of the Feng family still couldn’t avoid getting agitated.
