Chapter 215 Reencounter with Huang Chengcheng

The way the brothers interacted was shameful. Yunxia pried Jiang Chao's hands off, "You know he has thin skin. If there are red marks on his shoulders and scalp later, you'll be the one who feels sorry for him. An'an, you too, be careful in the car. What if the wheels hit a stone and you hurt your back?"

Each gave a reprimand, maintaining a level playing field. Hearing this, An'an stopped moving around, and Jiang Chao naturally stopped trying to control him.

At the foot of the mountain, Feng Jingling, dressed in a white coat, sat on a large rock, munching on... a chilly creamy ice cream. Jiang Chao strode forward, snatched it away, and threw it into the trash can. "Heh, I wonder who it is that has had a runny nose for three days straight."

"I have a sore throat, and the doctor said I shouldn't eat spicy or hot food."

"So, you imagined it was something you were supposed to eat cold?"

They're all so disobedient, it's really infuriating.

"Hey, stop standing there, hurry up and climb up. After you finish offering incense, we can go play in the wintersweet grove."

The young girl's words carried weight. Hearing this, the one who was scolding stopped scolding, and the one who was being scolded stopped arguing. The group climbed to the halfway point of the mountain, offered incense and prayed for blessings, and then headed towards the winter plum grove.

"Brother Ling, Brother Ling, it really is you! Waaah, I thought I had mistaken you for someone else!"

The newcomer had a brightly colored rooster-tail hairstyle, heavy smoky makeup, a cropped sweater, a leather jacket, a metal ring through her navel, and a protruding belly, making her look like she was three or four months pregnant.

Feng Jingling pondered for a moment, but still couldn't recognize the person in front of him as any kind of relative.

"Sorry, you've mistaken me for someone else!"

Upon hearing this, the punk girl's eyes immediately filled with tears. She dragged her limping foot forward, but unexpectedly, she slipped on a pebble and was about to fall when a dark-skinned young man with a buzz cut caught her.

"Cheng, walk more carefully, what if you hurt the child?"

Ah Cheng, she's lame, she's Huang Chengcheng!

After not seeing her for several years, she has joined the ranks of the "Shamate" (a subculture characterized by flamboyant and often outlandish fashion) and is now heavily pregnant. This dark-skinned young man must be her cousin!

At this moment, Feng Jingling, who was frowning, obviously recognized who she was. "Hurry up and take her away. Don't let her stick to you like a leech and refuse to leave."

"Brother Ling, Brother Ling, it was all Cheng'er's fault in the past. The Huang family went bankrupt, and Aunt took the rest. I have already been punished. Can't you forgive me?"

"I've never cared about you, so how can you talk about forgiving me?"

The most tragic thing in the world is when you think others remember you, but in reality, they are nothing to you.

"I...I...I'm pregnant!"

The startled husky hid behind Jiang Chao and angrily said, "Hey, I've been staying in Jincheng the whole time. The thing in your belly has nothing to do with me!"

Huang Chengcheng touched her pregnant belly, but her expression showed no trace of maternal warmth. "Brother Ling, don't worry, Cheng'er has grown up and won't follow you around like she did when she was little. This child... is a blessing from heaven. How about... letting her recognize you as her godfather? Then you can arrange a marriage between your children in the future."

This is like her trying to become in-laws with someone she couldn't win over—her thought process is truly astonishing.

"Take this madwoman away right now, or send her to a mental hospital!" Feng Jingling said through gritted teeth.

Upon hearing this, the dark-skinned young man forcibly dragged him away. When they reached a secluded corner, he gently advised, "Acheng, he's the richest man in Jiangcheng, while you and I are just singers in a bar in Nancheng. The difference is huge. Stop with your unrealistic fantasies."

"How dare you say that? If you hadn't gotten me drunk, would I have gotten pregnant? I despise your pathetic self from the bottom of my heart. Even if I had given birth to this child, I wouldn't have raised it, much less married you."

She had considered abortion countless times, but he always managed to dissuade her. The feeling of having someone else control the finances was anything but pleasant. The punk-style girl chewed gum, smoothed her frizzy hair, and her eyes were full of calculation. Since she couldn't get close to Ling-gege, then... she would find the father of the child!

That night, the young man was drunk and confused, but she was not. After being harassed by a beer-bellied rich man, she hid at the foot of the bed and cried bitterly. The young man, who only woke up when the sun shone on his buttocks, saw the mess in the room and smelled the familiar fishy smell. He mistakenly thought that he had been promiscuous while drunk and vowed to take full responsibility.

After finding out she was pregnant, he happily hugged her and spun her around. During his annual leave, he packed his things and went back to his hometown of Jiangcheng to prepare for a grand wedding and to bring her home in style. Unfortunately, Huang Chengcheng always disagreed, and her family was even more opposed, kicking them both out. They could only rent a place in the city to stay temporarily.

Seeing that she was about to leave, the dark-skinned young man hurriedly caught up with her, putting his coat on her and asking if she was cold. He didn't get angry when she was scolded, but kept smiling and continued to fawn over her.

On the other side, Feng Jingling, holding a camera, snapped photos with top-notch skill.

"Wow, great photos! Beautiful flowers, handsome man, and great lighting!"

The aloof man turned his head against the light, the warm sun dispelling his coldness and casting a halo around him. The more Yun Xia looked at the photo, the more she liked it.

"Develop it, enlarge it, frame it, and hang it on the wall to look at every day."

"Hehe, did you get the consent of the person in question?"

"It didn't say it would be hung in my room, hehe, it'll be hung in your room."

"I'm not that narcissistic!"

"Sister Yunxia, ​​come and see! There are white winter plum blossoms!"

Red and yellow plum blossoms are the most common in the mountains, while white ones are rare. Moreover, this particular tree was blooming exceptionally well. Several of us surrounded the tree and took many photos. It wasn't until our stomachs started growling that we realized it was already afternoon.

"If I miss lunch, Aunt Wu will definitely scold me."

"Yunxia, ​​don't worry. I told Grandpa before I left that I wouldn't be having lunch at home. Let's go down the mountain!"

"Bai Ye, you're the most reliable one!"

The Bai family has few direct relatives, but many distant cousins. Every year on the first day of the lunar new year, they would come to the Bai family to make an appearance and ask the old man for help in his business.

In the midst of the bustling crowd, Bai Ye's ability to calmly consider the possibility of not being able to return by noon is truly admirable.

After descending the mountain, the group took a car straight to a restaurant. After eating, they went home separately. In the evening, they gathered together again to watch the fireworks.

Umbrella-shaped, letter-shaped, flower-shaped...

Standing on high ground, the view is crystal clear. As night falls, the entire city echoes with the crackling of countless firecrackers, and the air is thick with the smell of gunpowder, making people's eyes water. The fireworks filter completely disappears, and people exchange glances and hurriedly go home.

The fourth day of the Lunar New Year is a good day to visit relatives and friends. After thinking it over again, Yunxia decided to visit Director Liu's house to wish him a Happy New Year. Carrying fruit, juice and biscuits, she walked for more than ten minutes before ringing his doorbell.

Aunt Xu opened the door. When she saw the visitor, she was stunned for a moment, then said with delight, "Xiaxia, you don't need to say anything. It's good that you're here. I feel relieved now that you're here."

She didn't want to return the favors Yun Jianfeng had given her, nor could she. She felt very guilty towards the girl. She thought that after that incident, their relationship was over, but she never expected that the girl would come to visit and wish her a Happy New Year.
