Chapter 106 Another Scheme Begins
Feifei pushed Zhou Mu a step too late and only saw Jiang Zhenzhu pinning a man in a black suit down. Feifei was shocked. The man and the clothes looked so familiar!
Just as Feifei was about to step forward, she saw Feng Yu waving to her from behind the crowd. Feifei breathed a sigh of relief. Thank goodness, it wasn't Uncle Feng, otherwise she would have told her mother.
Can even metal and stone be moved?
It seems to be open, but not fully open.
After standing up, Jiang Zhenzhu glanced at Feng Yu behind the crowd with shame and indignation, then ran away.
Kong Ying gesticulated wildly as she recounted what had happened to the two of them, “When I came out, I saw a man rush past quickly and overturn the nurse’s medicine cart. Then Sister Pearl saw Uncle Feng and happily went up to greet him, but she didn’t notice the man behind her and was knocked down.”
"It went straight for Uncle Feng's arms, but Uncle Feng quickly took a few steps back and pushed the bodyguard next to him forward."
"The bodyguard was probably pushed and lost his balance, and then it escalated to this point."
Kong Ying said with a hint of regret, "That's not how it's portrayed in the idol dramas that Grandma watches... Uncle Feng doesn't even have a shred of chivalry for women, he's really heartless!"
Zhou Mu asked curiously, "How should it be acted in an idol drama?"
The Zhou family didn't have a television, so she had never watched TV dramas, only occasionally glancing at them at the small shop at the alley entrance.
“Idol dramas, huh? Well, I have something to say about that. My grandma loves them.” Kong Ying leaned closer to Zhou Mu and made a "two" gesture. “In idol dramas, when the female lead falls like this, there are two possibilities.”
"First, the male lead catches her, and he might even spin her around 360 degrees. Finally, he embraces her in a backbend position, and the two gaze deeply into each other's eyes."
Feifei barely managed to suppress her eye-rolling, finding it hard to believe that Kong Ying wasn't watching cartoons about saving the world at home, but rather mind-numbing idol dramas with her grandmother.
Zhou Mu, however, was very supportive, asking, "What about number two?"
"The second option is for the male lead to cushion the fall, with his arm around the female lead's waist, so that the female lead can kiss the male lead on the lips."
Kong Ying was speaking enthusiastically when suddenly a large hand descended from the sky and grabbed the back of his neck.
"What are you saying?" Feng Yu's voice rang out behind him.
Kong Ying quickly shook his head, "I said it's been so long since I've seen Uncle Feng, you've gotten even more handsome."
Feng Yu often picked up Feifei, and over time, Kong Ying and Feng Yu also became acquainted.
Although he didn't understand why Feifei's father didn't come to pick her up, but Uncle Feng often did, leading many classmates who weren't familiar with Feifei to think that Feng Yu was Feifei's father, he asked his mother at home once and was severely reprimanded, who said that if he still wanted to be friends with Feifei, he shouldn't be so curious.
“If you keep making fun of me, I’m going to tell my parents,” Feng Yu threatened him with a smile.
Kong Ying immediately admitted his mistake, "I was wrong, Uncle Feng, I will never dare to do it again, please don't tell my mother."
Feng Yu pinched his chubby little face, which had shrunk considerably, before looking at Feifei and Zhou Mu. "Feifei and Mumu, how are you feeling today? Songyu is away on a business trip and can't make it back today, so I came to see you on her behalf."
"I'm fine, I've been better for a while."
Feifei's abrasions healed quickly thanks to good medicine, and most of the scabs have already fallen off.
Zhou Mu also said, "I'm fine too."
Feng Yu stayed with them for a while longer before leaving with Kong Ying.
Feifei thought for a moment, then chased after Feng Yu outside and whispered, "Uncle Feng, you should stay away from my cousin. She likes you."
Feng Yu gently pinched her nose. "You little devil, Uncle knows."
If you keep your word, I won't tell Mom.
Feng Yu chuckled, "It's okay if you tell your mother, Uncle isn't afraid of being investigated."
To Feifei's surprise, she thought she would have to deal with Jiang Chengli, but when she finished talking to her mother on the phone and lay down to sleep, she didn't see him at all.
Jiang Chengli had already caught up with Jiang Zhenzhu when she ran away. It wasn't because he cared much; a man like him wouldn't even have genuine feelings for his own daughter, let alone a niece.
However... Jiang Zhenzhu was merely a pawn in his game.
"Pearl, why are you running?" Jiang Chengli grabbed Jiang Zhenzhu.
"Second, second uncle, I, I... Waaah..."
Jiang Zhenzhu felt extremely embarrassed. Feng Yu took a few steps back as if she were some kind of filthy thing to be avoided, but she hadn't shown her feelings at all. She was just greeting him normally. Why was he acting like this?
"Alright, your second uncle saw everything." Jiang Chengli patted Jiang Zhenzhu's shoulder and handed her a handkerchief.
"Your second uncle knows what you're thinking, but Feng Yu is known in the industry for not being interested in women. He's also a highly sought-after bachelor among socialites. It's just a habit for him to send out bodyguards. He's seen plenty of women throwing themselves at him, which is why he misunderstood you. This doesn't mean he dislikes you; it just shows that he's a man of integrity," Jiang Chengli hinted, raising an eyebrow.
Jiang Zhenzhu stopped crying. "Really?"
Jiang Chengli nodded. "You are my niece and also your second aunt's niece. He might be embarrassed because of the seniority. I heard that you had a very pleasant conversation with him before. He has never been like this with other women. He is notorious for being cold and aloof, even when discussing cooperation."
Jiang Zhenzhu was immediately immersed in the fantasy that Jiang Chengli had created for her. "Second, Second Uncle, aren't you going to scold me?"
"Why would I scold you? You're almost twenty, it's perfectly normal to have someone you like, especially since Feng Yu is so outstanding, what reason do I have to stop you?"
“But, but he’s 18 years older than me…” Jiang Zhenzhu’s voice was very soft.
Although she had the mind of a little girl, she wasn't completely ignorant. Although Feng Yu looked to be only about thirty years old, he was actually only one year younger than her father.
"So what if you're 18? Age is never a problem. As long as Pearl is happy, I'll help you convince your parents. Besides, maybe your parents would be happy to have such an excellent son-in-law. Being older has its advantages; they'll be more caring."
Jiang Chengli's words reaffirmed Jiang Zhenzhu's wavering resolve.
“However…” he suddenly drawled as he looked at the rustic-looking Jiang Zhenzhu.
"But what?"
“Although our Pearl is beautiful, your outfit is not Feng Yu’s type. He is young and promising, owning a listed company. If you want to pursue him, you can at least not embarrass him.”
Jiang Zhenzhu's face turned pale. She... had lost face?
"Don't worry, your second uncle is here! Come with me." Jiang Chengli pulled Jiang Zhenzhu into his car.
"Where are we going? Second Uncle, Grandma can't stay in the hospital alone."
"I've hired a caregiver, don't worry."
He had planned it all along.
