Luo Chen made several phone calls downstairs, instructing Yu Chao to handle the public relations aspect well and absolutely not allow what happened tonight to make headlines tomorrow.

Half an hour later, Mo Xiaotuo brought the mother and daughter downstairs. Seeing that they were carrying luggage, he gentlemanly got out of the car to help them.

"Thank you for your trouble, Mr. Luo, thank you, Xiao Tuo!" Lin Yanran bowed gratefully to Mr. Luo.

"Aunt Lin, you don't need to be so polite. Tingting is Xiao Tuo's best friend, it's only right." Luo Chen was very approachable and carried the two suitcases to the trunk.

After the mother and daughter got into the back seats, Mo Xiaotuo sat down in the front passenger seat.

Luo Chen drove to the private restaurant, planning to take the two to their accommodation after the meal.

"Auntie, let's go eat first. After we've eaten, I'll take you there. Don't worry, the place I found is very safe. Tingting, don't go to work for the next couple of days. Auntie, you should too. Let's see how things go in a few days." Luo Chen said as he found a place to park the car.

Mo Xiaotuo got out of the car and took the two men's hands. She had been there once before and knew the way.

Luo Chen closed the car door and walked ahead, bypassing the familiar path, they arrived at a casual chat.

Zhu Yifeng had originally planned to host a dinner party for some friends tonight, but his flight was delayed, and he was now looking at the table full of food with a headache.

"Boss, Mr. Luo and Xiao Tuo have arrived, along with two friends." Peng Si knew that the boss was troubled by the dishes on the table, but now that guests had come, the boss should be happier.

Upon hearing that Luo Chen was coming, Zhu Yifeng quickly came out to greet him. He then saw an old friend and stood there, staring blankly.

“Zhu…Zhu Yifeng!” Lin Yanran was also a little surprised to see Zhu Yifeng, as they hadn’t seen each other for at least twenty years.

Zhu Yifeng's face flushed red when he heard the other person call his name.

Then look at the little girl walking with Mo Xiaotuo, she's practically a carbon copy of Lin Yanran.

"You, this is your daughter?" he stammered.

"Yes, I didn't expect to see you here." Lin Yanran still looked a little dazed.

Luo Chen could tell from their demeanor that they had a past. Could it be that Feng Ge hasn't married because he's thinking about Zhou Tingting's mother?

"Brother Feng, can we eat first? We're all starving," Mo Xiaotuo said weakly from the side. She could tell there was definitely something wrong here.

Zhou Tingting carefully examined the burly man in front of her. How could he look so much like the neighbor's little brother that her mother had described?

"There's a story behind it, isn't there?" Mo Xiaotuo asked in a low voice.

"It seems so, but I'm hungry too." Zhou Tingting rubbed her stomach; she hadn't eaten much at noon.

Mmm!

Mo Xiaotuo nodded; she was already very hungry.

Seeing that everyone was hungry, Zhu Yifeng led them into a large private room and then went to the kitchen to bring out the dishes.

Peng Si noticed the boss's sudden surge of enthusiasm and was very curious about what had happened in such a short time.

After serving the food, Zhu Yifeng closed the gate to the courtyard. He touched his beard and tugged at his apron.

After not seeing her for many years, he was surprised to see her looking so disheveled. He wanted to shave, but he was worried that everyone would be hungry while waiting for him, so he had to return to the private room looking like this.

"Eat up, don't be shy. Tonight's on me. It's been so many years since I've seen Yanran. It's nice to see old friends together. Hehe, let's have a few drinks." He said, glancing at Peng Si beside him.

Peng Si saw that his boss was acting like he was on steroids; if he couldn't see through the tricks of the trade, he'd be blind.

"I'm not drinking. Something happened today, and I need to arrange a place for Aunt Lin to stay later." Luo Chen glanced at Brother Feng, and he was pretty sure that what could make Brother Feng so flustered was what he was talking about.

"What arrangements? Stay here! If anyone dares to cause trouble, I'll kill them!" As soon as Zhu Yifeng heard that the mother and daughter wanted to find a place to stay, he immediately introduced his courtyard: "My courtyard is big, and there's a second floor. Usually, it's just me and Peng Si living here. It's spacious and comfortable no matter how you stay."

Mo Xiaotuo thought this courtyard was really nice, and living there would make her feel better.

Aunt Lin is the kind of person who can't take a break; it wouldn't be right for her not to go to work every day, otherwise...

She asked, "Brother Feng, your place is so big, are you hiring anyone?"

Hiring someone?

Zhu Yifeng didn't understand what Xiao Tuo meant for a moment.

Peng Si reacted quickly and immediately agreed on behalf of his boss: "Please go ahead. You don't know how picky my boss is. The previous few guys who weren't good at their jobs were fired after a few days. If no one comes to help, I'll be exhausted."

"Yes, yes, I need someone to help me here. Yanran, you can stay here and help me out, okay?" Zhu Yifeng looked at Yanran with anticipation.

Lin Yanran didn't want to trouble Zhu Yifeng, but remembering what Tingting had said about the relationship between Xiao Tuo and his wife, she thought about it and nodded.

Seeing this, Mo Xiaotuo didn't know if it was a good thing or not.

She looked at Zhou Tingting, who shook her head, indicating that she didn't understand her mother's intention either.

"Xiao Tuo, Tingting and the others need protection. They'll be safer here than with me. Trust Brother Feng; he won't let everyone down." Luo Chen did a favor, and it was a significant one.

"Eat your meal, and I'll tidy up for you. There are two rooms upstairs with good lighting; you can stay there. If you're still worried about safety, I'll bring back two more dogs tomorrow." Zhu Yifeng remembered that Yanran really liked cats and dogs.

"Thank you, Zhu Yifeng!" Lin Yanran said gratefully.

"Thank you, Uncle Feng!" Zhou Tingting also expressed her gratitude.

"Don't call me Uncle Feng, just call me Brother Feng like Xiao Tuo does!" Zhu Yifeng chuckled and got up to serve soup to the mother and daughter.

Zhou Tingting looked at her mother, and seeing her mother nod, she shyly called out, "Brother Feng!"

"Eat, eat, let's talk after we eat, it's still early!" Zhu Yifeng grinned from ear to ear.

Everyone enjoyed the meal and temporarily forgot about their unhappiness.

After dinner, Mo Xiaotuo also helped tidy up the room for Aunt Lin and Zhou Tingting.

The two rooms upstairs were bright and spacious, with a classic style of decoration that perfectly suited Lin Yanran's taste.

It was almost 10 p.m., so Luo Chen pulled Mo Xiaotuo to go home.

Zhou Tingting knew that so many things had happened today, and that Mo Xiaotuo was also in a bad mood. She reluctantly saw her off to the parking lot.

After getting into the car, Luo Chen fastened Mo Xiaotuo's seatbelt. While driving, he said, "Brother Feng has never gotten married. I heard from Peng Si that he has been waiting for someone. Now it seems that he is waiting for Aunt Lin."

"Really?" Mo Xiaotuo asked.

"It's pretty close." Luo Chen nodded.

"Isn't it dangerous for Aunt Lin to live here?" Mo Xiaotuo asked anxiously.
