Chapter 29 Recognizing Godparents
That evening, someone insisted on staying, claiming his hands were sore. He even managed to make Wu Lifang laugh heartily with his silver tongue. The two chatted happily and almost wished they could become godparents on the spot.
"Oh, that's great! Xiaxia is well-behaved and sensible, and with a cheerful and sweet-talking godson, you'll have a perfect family. Life will be complete!"
"Mom, where did you put me and An'an?"
"Kindness and kinship don't conflict. Here, Lingling, take this 5 yuan. It's a belated New Year's gift, you can't refuse it!"
Under someone's sinister gaze, the boy in the white coat stuffed the 5 yuan into his pocket, hugged Wu Lifang, and his bright smile was exceptionally... dazzling.
"Godmother!"
"well!"
"Godmother!"
"well!"
"Godmother! Godmother! Godmother!"
"Sigh! Sigh! Sigh!"
The two played a game of question and answer, thoroughly enjoying themselves. Little Jiang An wriggled to squeeze into the center, his bright, grape-like eyes filled with excitement, and he quickly joined in the game of repeatedly calling out names.
"Feng Jingling, what are you up to? You tried to steal Yunxia first, now you're acknowledging her as your godmother, and you've even won over An'an. Are you trying to squeeze me out of the Jiang family?"
"Ah Chao, I'm not here to destroy this family, I'm here to join you!"
Even though she knew it was his true feeling, Yunxia still felt a chill run down her spine from disgust.
She placed half a bowl of braised pork on the gloomy boy's plate and whispered to comfort him, "Jiang Chao, don't worry, in my heart, you're number one, and no one can take your place."
"Heh, Yunxia, don't speak too confidently!"
He glanced at the three of them, mother and children, and snorted coldly. He picked up his rice bowl and began to eat meat heartily. Seeing this, Yunxia breathed a sigh of relief, thinking to herself that her young heart had sacrificed too much for the harmony of the family.
After dinner, the man still refused to leave. Jiang Chao, with a gloomy face, ignored Wu Lifang's attempts to stop him, covered his mouth, and dragged him away. When he returned, he rubbed his hands several times before finally going back to his room to sleep.
...
The next day, outside the classroom corridor, the students lined up in two rows according to their grades. Since the original owner had excellent grades, Yunxia was the third to enter the classroom.
The first three rows are too far forward; they hurt my neck and eyes, and I'm constantly inhaling chalk dust. Pass!
The last three rows are too far back, the place is a mixed bag, the learning environment is not good, and you are likely to get your hair pulled. Pass!
Maintaining one posture for a long time, whether to the left or right, can easily lead to strabismus, so pass!
Once you remove the incorrect options, the rest will be easy!
Yunxia smiled and walked straight to the right side of the fourth row in the center.
Soon, the students chose their seats one after another, and the teacher walked in with his lesson plan, opened his textbook, and began to explain the knowledge points.
...
Ring ring! Ring ring!
Upon hearing the school bell ring, Yunxia quickly tidied up her desk, slung her schoolbag over her shoulder, and ran to the agreed-upon location—Grandma's Dumpling Restaurant.
The sweet-talking young girl flattered the proprietress until she couldn't stop smiling, and then cautiously brought up the matter of acting as a middleman in the conversation. The plump aunt immediately slapped the table and happily agreed.
"What are you talking about so happily?" Jiang Chao asked, lifting the curtain.
"Oh, Xiaxia..."
"Aunt Huang, it's a secret!"
"Oh, it's a woman's secret, boys shouldn't pry!"
Oops, luckily I was quick-witted and managed to stop the fat auntie in time!
"Alright, fine, let's go. We still have to cook dinner when we get home!"
After thanking the proprietress, Yunxia slung her small backpack over her shoulder and followed Jiang Chao out of the restaurant. Just as they reached the alley entrance, a trendy, deep red Citroën sedan slowly pulled up beside them.
The car window rolled down, revealing the handsome and impeccably dressed Feng Jingling, who smiled brightly. "What do you think of the new car?"
A Citroën costs at least tens of thousands of yuan. Goodness, that's equivalent to how many tons of agricultural products!
"No matter how good the car is, you can't drive it. Hurry up and move, you're blocking the road."
The 'bold' boy ignored his words and instead opened the car door, inviting the two of them inside.
"No, we can't afford to pay for it if you get it dirty."
Upon hearing this, Yunxia lowered her head slightly. Her knitted cotton shoes had a layer of mud on the soles, while the fashionable car even had wool car mats.
"Hey, don't forget, since last night, the three of us have been family."
After saying that, he picked up the little girl around the waist, placed her on the car seat, and then quickly got in. "Hey, Ah Chao, your sister has been 'kidnapped' by me. Aren't you going to come up and rescue her?"
With a stern face, Jiang Chao lowered his eyes and pondered for a moment. Finally, he snorted coldly and sat down!
After closing the car door, the driver received instructions, started the car, and slowly drove away from the alley entrance.
"This morning, Wang Tianhao and his friends came to school with swollen faces. They were scratching and clawing all over the place during class, never letting up. Yunxia, have you heard about this?"
The cold, impersonal question shattered the silence in the carriage.
The drama queen Yun Xia blinked and exclaimed in surprise, "Oh, is that so? Serves them right, they're always bullying this and that, heaven has really opened its eyes."
"Heh, I heard that before they were stung by the bees, the four of them got several bottles of perfume for free. Some people suspect that the fragrance irritated the bees. Feng Jingling, I remember your family owns a department store. Do you know this perfume?"
Feng Jingling's heart skipped a beat, and her forehead instantly became covered in a thin layer of sweat. She forced a stiff smile and said:
“Uh, Ah Chao, you know... I don’t go to department stores, and I’ve never seen the ‘attracting bees and butterflies’ perfume you mentioned.”
"Huh, I don't know!"
After saying that, he smiled mysteriously, then turned his head to the car window, his deep eyes fixed on the rapidly receding scenery!
The person who started the 'bee sting' incident was making eye contact with him with his back to him!
Yunxia managed to calm the young man down with a series of winks and gestures.
Beep beep beep! Beep beep beep!
The car stopped in front of the Jiang family's house, attracting a crowd of onlookers. When the three children got out, some busybodies boldly stepped forward to ask them questions.
"Jiang Chao, which relative are you? You're so impressive. Introduce me to your aunt."
The boy, with a stern face, pushed her away, took Yunxia's hand, and strode into the courtyard.
"Auntie, I'm the Jiang family's godson, my surname is Feng, and my given name is Jingling. I'll come to your house to play sometime tomorrow!"
The handsome young man took the gifts from the trunk and said with a smile.
Feng Jingling refused help from others and made three trips back and forth before she could finish moving all the gifts. Bang! The gate closed, and the neighbors on both sides surrounded the car, full of curiosity. Some even reached out to touch it!
"Wow, big brother, are you... buying New Year's goods?"
"Little Butterfly, now that you've recognized a godmother, you have to give her a gift, right? I received 5 yuan in lucky money yesterday, hehe. When is godmother coming back?"
"The factory has just started operations, and there are quite a few backlogged orders from the middle of the year. Aunt Wu was temporarily transferred to the textile post, and she has to work overtime every day, not getting home until almost 8 o'clock."
"Phew, Zhou Bapi, exploiting the workers' time. How about... I buy the factory and arrange a leisure position at the director level for my godmother? Hehe, the plan is perfect."
Yunxia: ...Ugh, this annoying money power!
"Put away your 'filthy' thoughts. Every factory has its own rules. Trying to forcefully change them will only hasten their demise."
