Chapter 260 – It’s not easy to be a stepmother; being a stepfather is no better. (3)

Once Feng Zeyu had returned to his own office, he asked Mao Weiping, “When we looked into that Yin Xueqin, I seem to recall that she attended university at City Ning and also works there?”

“That’s right. She holds a position with the Yang Province.” Mao Weiping nodded.

“I just ran into her, looking for a job. Have someone look into what is going on with her.” If she had a government job, why would she return to City Nan to look for a job? His plan was already in its final stage and he did not wish it disrupted by any last-minute changes.

“Sure. I will put someone on it right away.”

It wasn’t difficult to look into Yin Xueqin. They quickly got news on her.

“This woman…” The man who returned with the news thought about it for a long while and finally spit out, “All pretty women are so unfortunate.”

Mao Weiping gave him a swift kick from behind him. “You can only use that if she’s dead. All she is is bad news right now.”

“Oh, hahaha… potato, po-TAH-to. You know that I never did well in school. You should be impressed that I even remember that one.”

“Alright, back to what we were talking about,” said Feng Zeyu as he drummed on the table.

“Ah, right.” The man stood straight up. “She went with her parents to City Ning and settled down there. Their days had been quiet and she was courted by many when she was studying at the university. One of them was a second-gen and spent a lot of time and effort on her. The two stated dating and her government job was arranged by this boyfriend of hers.”

“Ah, I was wondering. She didn’t exactly attend a great school, so how was she able to get a government job. And started out as the secretary of a politician at that.”

“Don’t interrupt. Let him finish,” said Feng Zeyu as he gave Mao Weiping a stare.

“Not long after she started working there, the second-gen married a woman of his own status under his family’s arrangement. Six months later, Yin Xueqin, too, married the son of a cop through the introduction of county head. Then something happened to the second-gen’s family. The county head, also belonging to their faction, was also taken for investigation and, Yin Xueqin, as his secretary, was also taken away. Long story short, everybody in their factor was in trouble. Now the county head, Yin Xueqin’s father-in-law, and her husband are all in jail. She, too, was fired from her position. Life was rough with a child so she returned to City Nan with her parents.”

“See? I was right, she is nothing but trouble.” Mao Weiping added his commentary again.

“Oh, stop with that already.”

“Why would I? Just look, it didn’t happen to anyone else. Why her? And why would she be fired if she was innocent? Her behavior in City Nan previously could be explained away as her being threatened. Why couldn’t she have gone to work elsewhere after she had graduated college?”

“Alright. Let’s have a couple of people tail her. It’s fine if she doesn’t get into contact with that bunch. If she does, let me know right away. I am at the home stretch of our plan and I shall not tolerate any errors,” said Feng Zeyu gloomily.

“Don’t worry. You have been planning for this for so long. We won’t let anything get in its way.”

Feng Zeyu nodded. He then stood up and grabbed the car key. “I have something to take care of.”

“Going over to that boss lady of the cloth shop again? Look, this is not gonna work. You will never get the girl at this rate.” Mao Weiping couldn’t hold himself back anymore. “If you truly like her and want to marry her, just tell her the whole truth. How is she suppose to take the first step if you are so timid?”

“We have our own hesitations,” said Feng Zeyu after a slight hesitation.

“Your worry is mainly that your reputation will be bad for her. But we are very close to revealing the truth already. Her worry is her two children. That’s why you need to be more decisive and more courageous. You can also try to bring her kids to your side. Once you have the kids on your side, you are half way there already.”

“And you know that how?” Feng Zeyu gave him a cross eye.

“Well, I at least know more than you. I have kids too. I know what it is like to be parents. Women, especially those with kids, would not have a divorce at least there was no other options. If she had a divorce, that means she had been hurt badly before. If you really want to go after her, you should be prepared for a long and hard uphill battle,” said Mao Weiping as he gave him a good-luck look.

Everybody said that it was difficult to be a stepmother. Being a stepfather was no easier.

Naturally, Feng Zeyu knew that before he had planned to pursue Shu Yan. He did not expect her to accept him right away. He would be happy as long as she didn’t resent the idea.
