Upon hearing this, a hint of sadness flashed in Lei Xiaofang's beautiful eyes, and she forced a smile, saying, "Is that so? It's my fault. I shouldn't have been so unreasonable back then. I should have apologized to him a few more times, and maybe he would have forgiven me."
She was indeed impulsive before, after all, she had hidden that magical self-soothing thing in her own room, which is why she was in such a hurry to kick them out.
Who knows...
Night fell quickly, and Lei Xiaofeng's family had already prepared dinner. Lei Dashan's injuries had long since healed. After all, he had drunk the Dragon Liquid potion, so the beating from a few strong men couldn't cause him much harm.
"Hey? Why hasn't our benefactor come out yet? Xiaofeng, go check and ask him to come out and have dinner with us."
Lei Dashan tidied up the bowls and chopsticks on the table, arranged three vegetarian dishes, and noticed that Yang Feng hadn't come over, so he spoke to Luo Xiaofeng, who was secretly eating vegetables.
"Okay, Grandpa." Luo Xiaofeng ate the bland vegetables in one bite, turned around and walked towards Yang Feng's room. When he opened the door, he found the room empty and there was no one there.
He went in and glanced around, then saw the white note on the table, and something immediately came to mind.
Is this what they often see in TV dramas—leaving without saying goodbye?!
Lei Xiaofeng picked up the note, looked at it, and found that there were many unfamiliar characters. After all, he was only a fourth-grade elementary school student and couldn't recognize so many characters.
He immediately turned and strode quickly toward the living room.
"Grandpa, Grandpa, my older brother isn't in the room. It seems he's left. Look at this note; it must have been left by him." Luo Xiaofeng quickly handed the note to Lei Dashan, who was serving rice.
"What?! Gone!" Lei Xiaofang reacted the most. She rushed to her grandfather's side and looked at the note together.
It reads above—
I'm leaving now. Thank you for your help. You made me feel a kind of warmth in the world besides family. I will come back with the bronze fish within three months.
Upon seeing this, Lei Xiaofang's mind went blank. She didn't know how she felt about him. Anyway, he left, and she felt empty and uncomfortable inside.
Perhaps it was his powerful martial arts that helped their family, or perhaps it was his aloofness that repeatedly drew Fei'er into the fire.
"Alas, I never expected that our benefactor would leave without saying goodbye. Our family's debt to him is growing ever greater." Lei Dashan sighed and took out an IOU from his pocket. It was an IOU for a loan with high interest rates, amounting to two million.
Two million was already the wealthiest amount in their small town.
They couldn't repay the debt no matter what they tried, but Yang Feng easily resolved the issue.
"Alright, let's eat first. People need to eat, and our benefactor said he'll be back within three months anyway." Lei Dashan put the note away and said softly.

Chapter 257 My sister didn't come home.
"Mm." Lei Xiaofang nodded and sat down at the dining table. The thought that the man would come back in three months made her feel much better.
She was a little girl studying in a small town, completely unlike those wild sixteen-year-old girls in the city, who probably already had children...
Lei Xiaofang thought of the cold, hard face of that playing card. She wondered how funny it would be if he could surprise her when he came to their house again.
So she decided to go to the city to participate in a program for intern celebrities developed and produced by Mango TV.
It's a show specifically designed to create stars, and this is the second season which is about to start. She has already applied and been accepted.
"Sister, what are you grinning about? Are you happy because big brother left?" Lei Xiaofeng pouted and asked when he saw his sister still smiling.
"no......"

Yang Feng walked briskly and quickly returned to the ordinary residential area, just in the middle of the night.
Yang Feng figured Lian Qing should be fast asleep by now, but he still decided to go back and see her. Tomorrow was the start of his university life, and he would be able to come back less and less often in the future.
As soon as he entered the community gate, the security guard stuck his head out and looked at Yang Feng. After all, it was already the middle of the night, so why would anyone still be entering and leaving their community?
Upon recognizing Yang Feng, the security guard sighed softly and asked, "Young man, why are you back so late? Why isn't your sister with you?"
Upon hearing this, Yang Feng glanced at him calmly, slowed his pace slightly, and then replied:
"I went out to take care of some things."
"Oh, I see. Where's your sister? Why didn't she come with you? I haven't seen her come back to the neighborhood for several days. I thought you guys went on a trip."
The security guard casually asked a question out of concern, and then took a small sip of his Red Bull drink.
"Hmm? Lianqing hasn't come back?" Yang Feng frowned and looked towards the window facing his home, only to find that the lights were off.
He then hurried home.
The security guard shook his head slightly, went back into the security room, and continued watching the football match.
Back home, Yang Feng found it pitch black. He immediately had a bad feeling. He tried to locate the pendant with his spiritual power, but couldn't find it!
Judging from these signs, no one has come to our house for the past few days.
This means that Lianqing hasn't been home for several days.
Perhaps she went to stay at her best friend's house. Yang Feng tried to take things easy and took out his phone to call Lian Qing.
"Beep beep beep..."
After a long while, the call was finally connected, and Yang Feng finally felt relieved.
