Chapter 386: Chapter 386 Such Parents

Chen Feng was just about to stand up and help Jiang Shiqi, but instead, she suddenly threw herself into his arms, clinging to him like an octopus.

Her soft, delicate body emitted a young girl’s fragrance that made Chen Feng—a man in his prime—breathe a little faster.

Chen Feng closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and calmed himself, thinking, "No, this can’t go on, something is going to happen!"

"Shiqi, you’re drunk. Let me take you home," he said, lowering his head and gently patting her fragrant shoulder.

"No!"

Jiang Shiqi shook her head, her face flushed as she spoke.

"It’s getting late. If you don’t go home, your parents will start worrying!" Chen Feng said with a helpless smile.

"I’m not going home. They won’t worry about me!"

Jiang Shiqi pouted her lips and spoke with a glimmer of resentment.

"Oh?"

Chen Feng frowned, seeing the look of grievance on her face, realizing there was definitely a story there.

"Senior, you’re the kindest to me, always helping me out. My parents—they don’t care about me at all. In their eyes, there’s only business and the company! At home, I’m just superfluous. Even if I disappeared one day, my parents wouldn’t care!" Jiang Shiqi said sadly.

"How can that be? What parents wouldn’t love their daughter, especially one as beautiful as you? They must just be too busy and not able to focus on you. Don’t think too much about it!" Chen Feng comforted her, gently patting her shoulder.

"What’s busy? They don’t see me as their daughter at all. Even if I died, they wouldn’t care. All they care about is money!

"Do you know? From childhood till now, all they’ve given me is money! Not a trace of care or affection!"

"I remember once, I had a fever of 39 degrees, and they still left me alone at home to attend business meetings. If it weren’t for a friend who came to visit and found me passed out, who then called an ambulance, I would have ended up brain-damaged!"

Tears sparkled in Jiang Shiqi’s beautiful big eyes as she spoke sorrowfully.

"That can’t be!"

Chen Feng frowned, still finding it hard to imagine that parents could neglect a sick child to deal with business—it was simply incomprehensible.

"Forget it, even if I tell you, you won’t believe it until I prove it."

Jiang Shiqi gave a bitter smile, then took out her phone and handed it to Chen Feng, saying, "Call my parents. Tell them I’m drunk outside and ask them to come get me. See what they will say!"

"Uh!"

Chen Feng shrugged his shoulders; he found Jiang Shiqi’s father’s number in the contacts list and dialed it.

The first time, nobody answered.

The second time, they hung up directly.

The third time, after ringing for a long time, they finally answered.

"Hello, I’m busy, why do you keep calling?"

The voice of an extremely irritated man came through, likely Jiang Shiqi’s father.

Chen Feng frowned.

It was almost ten o’clock now, and Jiang Shiqi—a gentle young girl—hadn’t returned home yet. Shouldn’t a father be concerned, calling to find out where his daughter was and urging her to come home?

How could Jiang Shiqi’s father be like this, only answering the phone after three calls and with great impatience? Didn’t he worry his daughter might be in danger?

Chen Feng was starting to believe what Jiang Shiqi had told him!

"Hello, is this Jiang Shiqi’s father? She’s drunk outside and can’t get home by herself. Could you come pick her up?"

"Drunk? Let her figure it out herself, I’m really busy right now, okay, I’m hanging up!"

After that, Jiang Shiqi’s father hung up the phone.

Listening to the beeping sound coming from the phone, Chen Feng was completely stunned.

Is this how a father behaves? Knowing that his daughter was drunk and couldn’t get home by herself, he still wouldn’t come to pick her up. Was he not worried about her being in danger?

Chen Feng shook his head slightly in irritation and then dialed Jiang Shiqi’s mother’s number.

"Hello, is there something?"

This time, the call connected on the first try.

"Is this Auntie? I am Jiang Shiqi’s friend. She’s drunk and can’t get home by herself. Can you come pick her up?"

Chen Feng ventured.

"Drunk? Such a young girl, why is she drinking at all? I’m not free right now, just let her stay with you for now, okay, I’m hanging up!"

With that, Jiang Shiqi’s mother hung up the phone.

At this moment, Chen Feng’s eyebrows were tightly knitted together.

Jiang Shiqi’s mother was quite a character too! Knowing her daughter was drunk, and even though I am a man, she still felt secure leaving her daughter with me without even asking who I am.

How could she care so little about her daughter?

No wonder Jiang Shiqi becomes so sad whenever she talks about her parents.

With such parents, anyone would feel disheartened!

At this moment, Chen Feng truly felt sorry for Jiang Shiqi and was also very angry. How could there be such outrageous parents in the world?

To give birth and not to nurture, they really do not deserve to be parents.

"See, wasn’t I right?"

Jiang Shiqi looked at Chen Feng with his brows furrowed and gave a bitter smile, her smile filled with bitterness.

"How could they do this?"

Chen Feng asked, puzzled.

"I don’t know. Since that quarrel they had when I was five, it has been like this. Rather than saying I have a home, it’s more like I just have a place to sleep. That place is so cold, devoid of human warmth!"

Jiang Shiqi said with a sad face.

"Let’s go, I’ll take you home!"

Chen Feng took a deep breath and said.

"Go back for what? A pitch-dark house, alone, is that even a home?"

Jiang Shiqi wiped away a tear from the corner of her eye and said.

"It won’t be like this anymore!"

A glint of determination flashed through Chen Feng’s eyes as he spoke.

Tonight, he really wanted to see what kind of people Jiang Shiqi’s parents were and just how busy they really were!

They say domestic issues are hard for even fair officials to resolve, but today, he couldn’t just stand by!

Fortunately, it was him tonight, and Jiang Shiqi was with him.

But what if someday Jiang Shiqi really got drunk and was targeted by some malicious people? How dangerous would that be?

Chen Feng didn’t dare to think further.

With both arms, Chen Feng lifted Jiang Shiqi horizontally and held her in his embrace as they walked outside the KTV.

Jiang Shiqi did not struggle, pressing her small head tightly against Chen Feng’s chest, her arms wrapped around Chen Feng’s neck.

In this moment, she felt so secure, warm, and for the first time, she felt a sense of dependency.

This feeling, it was truly wonderful!
