Chapter 1560: Chapter 1561: Times Spent with a Close Friend
"Not coming back?"
"Mm, I’ve made plans with a friend to eat together."
Zhuang Yanyan paused, remembering she rarely ate out with friends.
"A guy?" Zhuang Yanyan asked instinctively, thinking the future granddaughter-in-law shouldn’t be taken away by someone else!
Feng Jinglei smiled slightly, "No, it’s a girl, Luo Xiaoqian, I’ve mentioned her to you before."
Luo Xiaoqian? Zhuang Yanyan frowned, recalling she had mentioned a friend like that before, but hadn’t she gone abroad?
She didn’t want to interfere in her private matters, as long as it wasn’t a male friend, she was relieved.
"Alright then, have fun!"
"Okay."
Hanging up the phone, Feng Jinglei faced her friend she hadn’t seen in half a year.
Compared to Xiang Jinnan, Luo Xiaoqian was a genuine confidant.
"Here, this is for you!"
Luo Xiaoqian took out a gift from behind her, something she had specially brought back from abroad for Feng Jinglei!
Glancing at the gift, Feng Jinglei smiled as she reached out, "Why did you bring me a gift?"
"Oh, I finally got a promotion and a raise, becoming a real wedding dress designer, naturally I had to bring a gift for my best friend!"
Feng Jinglei smiled and didn’t rush to open the gift, but set it aside planning to have a long chat with her friend after their long separation.
"By the way, how have you been at the Qin Family? I’ve really been too busy these past six months and haven’t kept in touch with you."
Luo Xiaoqian knew that after her parents passed away, even the house had been taken over by her uncle, and she had been staying at the Qin Family.
"I’m good, don’t say that, it was your only chance to become a designer, you had to go!"
Luo Xiaoqian smiled, then as if remembering something, she looked at her with a bit of mischief in her eyes, "So, did you and your knight in shining armor end up together?"
She was the only friend to whom Feng Jinglei confided her secrets, so Luo Xiaoqian knew everything about her.
The ’knight in shining armor’ she spoke of was none other than Qin Feimo. Hearing this, Feng Jinglei’s expression darkened a bit.
Luo Xiaoqian immediately realized she might have said something wrong and looked apologetic.
"Oh, it’s no big deal, we don’t have to hang ourselves on one tree, there’s a whole forest waiting for us!" She squeezed Feng Jinglei’s hand, trying to offer some comfort.
Regarding these kinds of things, Feng Jinglei was long used to them, she looked up and smiled, "It’s okay, I’m fine."
"Actually, the one to blame is that Ma Qianqian. If she hadn’t come out of nowhere, you might have already been with Qin Feimo!"
Luo Xiaoqian was blunt, freely speaking her mind, unable to keep any secrets, complementing Feng Jinglei’s personality perfectly, which was why they were such close friends.
Suddenly mentioning Ma Qianqian, Feng Jinglei’s expression changed slightly, she looked up at her still unaware friend.
Ma Qianqian died in a car accident when Xiaoqi was already abroad, and Feng Jinglei hadn’t told her about it.
"Ma Qianqian died in a car accident."
Luo Xiaoqian was stunned, nearly speechless, "Ah? D-died?"
"Mm."
...
Afterward, Feng Jinglei recounted the general events, and upon learning the truth, Luo Xiaoqian couldn’t help but feel aggrieved for her.
"What? Qin Feimo blamed her death on you!? What for? It wasn’t even you who was supposed to go, it was his grandfather who asked you to go. And besides, if she didn’t pay attention and walked into the road and got hit by a car, who could she blame? Obviously, it was her own fault!"
