She Lives without Regret in This Life

The two of them exchanged a glance, both calculating how to use each other, how to kill each other. But first, they needed to cooperate, to use each other to deal with a more powerful enemy. Both were waiting for the other to initiate the cooperation.

”Fourth Brother.” Feng Xintong smiled seductively, a stark contrast to her usual timid and pitiful demeanor, now confident and assertive, as if she had everything under control.

”Why don’t we go for a walk outside?” she suggested.

Feng Jianxi nodded, ”It’s been ages since I’ve had time to stroll in the garden.”

The Feng Manor, deserving of the title ”Manor,” covers a vast area, with all the necessary facilities complete. At this hour, the garden was quiet, with only the gardener diligently trimming the branches.

Both had a tacit understanding; discussing important matters required a spacious place to avoid being overheard, so they walked and talked.

”Go ahead and speak!” Feng Jianxi said directly.

Xintong gave him a meaningful look, a deep-seated mockery hidden in her eyes. ”Fourth Brother, I know what your goal is.”

”I also know what your goal is,” Feng Jianxi said defiantly.

”Fourth Brother, you have no idea what my goal is,” Xintong sighed, ”Being of pure Asian descent, you can’t possibly understand the situation of someone like me, who is of mixed blood, in the Feng Family. I just want to live a little better, not to be looked down upon, to find a backer.”

”Really?” Hearing that she didn’t want to compete for the position of Family Head, Feng Jianxi relaxed his guard a bit.

”Of course it’s true. You know mixed-bloods have no inheritance rights. Even if I had unimaginable skills, it wouldn’t change anything.” She spread her hands helplessly, ”I used to cling to Sister Zhenzhen’s strong support. I didn’t expect her to be harmed by Qin Cuifen.”

”Wasn’t it you who orchestrated it from behind the scenes?”

Feng Xintong stared at him incredulously, as if she had been gravely wronged. ”How could you say that? What ability do I have? Besides, Sister Zhenzhen has always been good to me; I would never harm her!”

Feng Jianxi gave her a profound look, but didn’t show whether he believed her or not.

”Fourth Brother, let me help you! Just don’t forget me when you become the Family Head. After all, I have no chance, and only by working together can we defeat Sheng Ning.”

”Isn’t Sheng Ning the best choice, the only one who can make things easier for you once and for all?”

”She’s just an outsider, not even part of our Feng Family. Why would I help her?” Xintong said righteously, which dispelled many of Feng Jianxi’s doubts.

”However, my help comes with conditions.”

”Name them!”

”Kill Sheng Ning.” Feng Xintong displayed a humiliated look, ”When she was in the hospital giving birth, I went to see her, but she insulted me and threatened that once she became the Family Head, she would kill me. I know she’s jealous of my beauty, but that’s how it is; what can I do?”

Feng Jianxi’s gaze swept over Xintong’s exquisite and well-defined face. Upon closer inspection, her mixed-race looks indeed had an advantage. If Xintong dressed up, she wouldn’t be any less attractive than Sheng Ning, and far more beautiful than Zhenzhen.

”Sheng Ning’s already so arrogant without becoming the Family Head yet. If she does, all the young masters and misses of the Feng Family will have to die. Rather than that, we might as well act sooner.” In Xintong’s eyes, a venomous, murderous intent flashed quickly.
