Chapter 722  : Mingyue Enters the Lord’s Heart (55)

Feng Ci turned off the faucet and instantly turned to look at Madam Feng.

Madam Feng quickly realized what she had just said and involuntarily took a step back, her face turning pale.

Feng Ci closed his eyes.

With his hands hanging on both sides and his nails digging into his palms, he opened his eyes again and asked, “Mom, what are you talking about?”

Back then when he had a conflict with Pan Mingyue, he had almost gone crazy.

He had gone to the dormitory to find her, waited downstairs for her, and stayed at the school gates for several days.

He couldn’t understand why Pan Mingyue was so cruel and refused to meet him, refusing to give him a chance to explain himself.

But today, Madam Feng’s unconscious words pierced into his heart, word by word.

He almost found it difficult to breathe.

“You forced her to leave?” Feng Ci put his hand on the sink and stared at Madam Feng. His whole body shook as he asked again, “Just because-because she had been in a mental hospital?”

In the end, he didn’t even know if he was talking to Madam Feng or himself.

A thousand needles seemed to pierce his heart, making it difficult to speak.

He remembered that he had even thought Pan Mingyue was throwing a tantrum.

But she was Pan Mingyue, a self-reliant, self-respecting, and extremely stubborn person. Once she liked someone, she was almost willing to give him her life.

This was the reason why he had completely collapsed upon hearing that she was in love with someone else.

But these were far less important compared to what Madam Feng just said.

Been to a mental hospital?

Yes, she had always been insecure.

So, when she was in conflict with his friends, he had unconditionally stood by her side but had still told her to stop throwing a tantrum afterward.

He couldn’t think of these things.

Looking faintly at Madam Feng, he said, “You knew everything, yet you didn’t tell me a single thing. I watched her go further and further away from me like a fool. Mom, just continue this way in the future. I don’t want anyone else.”

He passed by her, staggered out, and ordered his chauffeur to drive away.

“Xiao Ci!!”

Seeing him leave, Madam Feng sat on the ground with a broken heart. She regretted it, she really regretted it. If she had known earlier, she would never have separated the two of them, nor would she have done those silly things for Li Shuangning...

Once Lu Zhaoying’s relationship with Pan Mingyue was confirmed, he couldn’t resist showing off.

Although he wanted to marry her right away, he still remained a little reserved, for fear of scaring her away.

With Pan Mingyue’s birthday approaching, he decided to have a good celebration. Mainly, he wanted to introduce Pan Mingyue to the people in the circle, so that others wouldn’t hit on her.

Seeing how serious he was, Pan Mingyue didn’t reject his enthusiasm.

Neither she nor Qin Ran really liked celebrating birthdays and hadn’t officially celebrated them in many years.

But this time, many people joined in the fun.

Mother Lu made a final decision and set the venue at the Lu family’s house, then prepared for the lively celebration.

It hadn’t been so lively in the Lu family for years.

“Can I invite Gu Mingsheng and the rest, some of my childhood friends, and those I was close to in school?” Lu Zhaoying bit his pen and hugged her from behind.

Still dealing with business, Pan Mingyue replied helplessly, “Okay, go ahead.”

“Okay.” Lu Zhaoying’s eyes rolled excitedly.

Remembering that the commando captain in the neighboring city was still in Beijing, he casually made a call.

After that, he thought of Pan Mingyue’s side. “What about your roommates in college? Jiang Yifan, right?”

The three roommates had taken great care of her in university, so she would have invited them no matter what.

“I’ll tell them after I’m done here,” Pan Mingyue said after thinking for a while.

She had never celebrated her birthday in university, but the three roommates knew of her special circumstances and hadn’t dared to mention it.

“Okay, I’ll go find mom first.” Lu Zhaoying snapped his fingers.

At the same time.

At Beijing University’s dormitory.

Local rent was expensive, and since two of the roommates weren’t locals, they basically lived in the dormitory. As for Jiang Yifan, she didn’t bother going home to listen to her parents’ nagging and also lived there.

She looked up from the web drama she was looking at and answered Pan Mingyue’s call with a shocked expression. “Mingyue’s birthday is the day after tomorrow. She said she’ll introduce her boyfriend?”

The short-haired girl was drying her hair when she heard this. “You actually have another dog outside?” She turned her head and took the phone.

On the other end, Pan Mingyue’s heart warmed, and she leaned back on the table. “A lot of people might come. If you guys don’t come, I’ll treat you to dinner tonight.”

“No, we’ll definitely come,” Jiang Yifan leaned over and immediately said.

Pan Mingyue smiled. “Okay, call me before you arrive. I’ll go out to pick you up.”

“No, there’s no need. We’ll go ourselves.” Jiang Yifan waved her hand casually.

After hanging up, she asked the other two, “What should we give her?”

The three of them chatted for a while and discussed what to give. Gifting someone was a technical job, and Jiang Yifan was very entangled. She knew that Pan Mingyue was an orphan and lived on bonuses.

Although she wanted to give her something useful, she really didn’t know what to buy.

Thinking about it, she called her father, wanting to ask her if Pan Mingyue needed anything at work.

On the other end, Section Chief Jiang paused for a while. “What did you say?”

“I’m asking about Mingyue’s gift. Do you know how she is and what she needs?” Jiang Yifan sat in front of the computer and browsed through gift suggestions on the forum.

Section Chief Jiang asked about the situation and found out that it was Pan Mingyue’s birthday. He paused for a while and said honestly, “She doesn’t lack anything.”

“Ridiculous. Father, what’s the point of asking you?” Jiang Yifan leaned back. “Forget it, I’ll think about it again.”

“Wait, I have a suggestion. Just give her something from the heart. I heard that she wants to learn photography.” Section Chief Jiang quickly instructed before hanging up.

Jiang Yifan hung up and complained to the others. “My father actually said that she doesn’t lack anything.”

However, Section Chief Jiang had given her useful information. The three of them prepared a set of photography equipment for Pan Mingyue.

The next day, they took a taxi to Pan Mingyue’s birthday celebration.

When Jiang Yifan reported the address, the short-haired girl raised her head from her phone screen. “Don’t you think... this address is weird?”

Half an hour later.

The taxi stopped in front of a guard post.

An armed officer stopped the taxi.

The driver was shaking. “Erm, girls...”

Jiang Yifan stiffly took out her mobile phone and made a call. “Student Pan Mingyue, you might have to pick us up.”
