Chapter 630 - Moyu, You Love Me, Right? (2)
Inviting Zhang Jiren to their wedding out of the blue? Well, even agreeing to invite the man for dinner tonight so easily had made Tang Moyu suspicious. She felt that her husband knew something about the man that she wasn't aware of.
Feng Tianyi was tolerating Zhang Jiren, allowing the man to get close with their family, but why? While it's true that she was related to the man, Zhang Jiren wasn't truly her cousin. Was Feng Tianyi forgetting that Zhang Jiren was still a Zhang no matter whether he was an illegitimate child of the Zhangs or not? Who knew what he was plotting behind their backs?
"Don't be upset, Moyu. I do have a reason to tolerate and invite Zhang Jiren. Your suspicions aren't unfounded. We have to be careful of who we'll allow getting close to Baobao and Little Star," Feng Tianyi reassured her.
As much as he wanted to inform her of Zhang Jiren's identity, it wasn't his place to tell the secret of another person. Zhang Jiren would need to make peace with whatever was troubling him before he could face Tang Moyu.
Tang Moyu didn't seem pleased with his explanation, but what else could she do but place her trust in him? Whatever reason Feng Tianyi had, she knew he would never allow their children to be hurt by others.
"Then, what did the two of you talk about earlier? You can't tell me it's nothing. I know you, Feng Tianyi. You wouldn't call Zhang Jiren for a talk in private if you didn't have something to discuss with him." She demanded her husband to speak. She could not persuade him to spill everything out, but she also didn't like being kept in the dark for too long.
"Okay. Okay. You got me." Feng Tianyi sighed. He had no choice but to pick out a few parts of their conversation. "I warned him, of course. It's better to make it clear to him that I will not watch idly if the Zhang family tries to harm you again." His fingers lightly traced the side of her face. "I'll allow no one to hurt you again, Moyu."
She was so unlike the women he met in the past. He'd been careful with women he was acquainted with before. He knew that a cunning woman could easily manipulate a man with the right words if she wants to… but not Tang Moyu. She was called an empress for a reason.
She worked hard for what she wanted, not relying on a man to provide for her. The empress was too prideful for that. She was the perfect contrast to his sister-in-law who managed to trick his little brother into marriage.
If it was a peaceful and content life that Xing Yiyue was aiming for, she would have been content with her modeling career before meeting Feng Tianhua. Alas, it would never be enough for an ambitious woman like Xing Yiyue. For someone who had lived in poverty for a long time and had spent a lot of effort to make a break in the entertainment industry, Xing Yiyue would need a man to back her up.
To be considered as one of the best actresses of her generation and mingling with the other A-list actors was the dream she wanted for a long time. What better and faster way to achieve that—but to have a rich and influential man like Feng Tianhua by her side.
Not only would she have financial stability for being married to a wealthy man, but it would also give her a ticket to make it in the entertainment industry, something Xing Yiyue wouldn't be able to achieve on her own.
Wasn't it why, after she married Feng Tianhua, Xing Yiyue's career suddenly shot up drastically? That she successfully secured her admission to the social circle she always wanted to become part of?
Yet, being the madam of the Feng family had proved that it wouldn't be enough to keep everything together. It would be difficult for her now to save her reputation in public and maintain the profile she wanted.
Now that she was pregnant, Xing Yiyue should be content with absentmindedly stroking her growing bump, hoping her husband wouldn't abandon her once the truth came to light. A relationship that started and built over one lie after another wouldn't be destined to last long.
"You aren't lying to me, are you?" Tang Moyu narrowed her eyes at him, which brought Feng Tianyi back to reality.
"Of course not. Why would I lie to you?" he said awkwardly. Was not telling her about Zhang Jiren's real identity could be considered lying? Ah, he was really torn between his?wife and her twin brother. He could only hope that Tang Moyu wouldn't blame him later for this.
"Then, what did he say? Did he say something about me or Little Star?" She rubbed her arm unconsciously, a habit Feng Tianyi was familiar with—that she did whenever she was uncertain of something. She must be worried that Zhang Jiren was using their daughter to be able to get involved with them.
"No. He said he has no reason to plot against you. Whatever beef you have with Zhang Wuying… has nothing to do with him as he isn't even familiar with his aunt," he said in reply.
"And you believe him?" Tang Moyu questioned.
Did Feng Tianyi believe Zhang Jiren? That, he wasn't sure. The man might be his wife's twin brother, but he couldn't predict what Zhang Jiren would do in the future. He could only keep an eye on the man to make sure Zhang Jiren wouldn't dare anything that could bring harm to his family.
It was already kind enough on his part to allow Zhang Jiren to meet Baobao and Little Star and to attend the wedding of his sister. After these, Feng Tianyi would leave Zhang Jiren to his own devices. Whether fate allows him to be reunited with his twin sister or not, Feng Tianyi could only wait.
