Chapter 702: Scars
At this moment, Qi Yingxuan didn't care about lobsters at all; he just wanted to teleport to Feng Tianyu's side and have a duel between men.
This bastard senior brother, as expected, had planned this all along. First, they lived together, then met each other's parents, and next they were preparing to get married and have children. His wolfish ambitions are obvious!
Ye Wanxi had no idea that her fifth senior brother was eager to try something, so she ran up to her eldest senior brother and asked for a beating.
When she arrived at the Nightfall store, she first called Feng's mother, intending to ask her for the exact location of the store. Unexpectedly, Feng's mother rushed down from upstairs immediately.
After not seeing her for several months, Feng's mother looked even younger than the last time they met. Her skin was better and fairer, and most importantly, she had a healthy complexion.
She walked out of the elevator wearing a beautiful blue dress and looked like she was in her early thirties.
Upon seeing her like this, Ye Wanxi knew that she had used quite a bit of the medicinal mud she had given her before.
"Auntie, you look so beautiful today! Let's go shopping hand in hand, and people will believe you're my sister."
"You're such a sweet talker. After we finish eating, you're not allowed to leave. You have to come shopping with me."
Madam Feng's request was not unreasonable, so Ye Wanxi readily agreed.
"But now that you mention it, I do feel that my complexion has improved a lot recently. Even my girlfriends say I look younger and keep asking me what cosmetics I use. It's all thanks to the box of herbal mud you gave me."
"I'm glad you like it. I made it myself. If you like it, I'll send you some regularly in the future."
Feng's mother's eyes lit up, she was overjoyed, but she quickly declined, saying, "How could I accept this? You're already so busy with work."
"It's okay, it's very simple to do and won't take long."
Today, Feng's mother only wore light makeup, which made her look younger than if she had worn heavy makeup. It also matched her clothes and jewelry better. Coupled with the temperament she had cultivated since childhood, she would definitely turn heads, if not 100%.
Madam Feng had obviously noticed this as well. She wasn't afraid of people looking, but she was afraid that someone with sharp eyes would recognize Ye Wanxi and ruin their meeting today.
Not daring to linger downstairs for too long, he pulled Ye Wanxi upstairs.
After entering the elevator, Mrs. Feng said somewhat apologetically, "I'm so sorry, Wanxi. My friend's family situation is a bit special, so she wanted to meet you in person. Just treat her like an aunt who's coming to join us for dinner. If she asks you something, answer if it's convenient, or don't answer if it's not. Don't worry about her. Of course, don't be nervous. Your Aunt Qiu is very gentle and won't make things difficult for anyone. She's just a little curious about you."
"I understand, Auntie. I'll be able to improvise later."
Besides Feng's mother, there were other people having dinner together today. Feng's mother had already discussed this with Ye Wanxi two days ago.
Ye Wanxi didn't care much about this. She trusted Feng's mother's character and knew that she knew what she was doing.
Those who can be brought to her and eat with her shouldn't be some annoying or eccentric person who ruins people's appetites.
In addition, given what Madam Feng had just said about her family's special circumstances, Ye Wanxi subconsciously assumed that Madam Qiu had come along because she wanted something.
"Alright, alright, we'll see how it goes." Mrs. Feng paused, then said somewhat nervously, "Besides your Aunt Qiu, she brought someone else with her this time, her niece. This niece... I can't say for sure right now, you'll see when you get to know her. Just treat her like an ordinary person, don't look at her strangely."
A strange look? Ye Wanxi was a little confused and didn't quite understand what Feng's mother meant, but she didn't think much of it.
Until she saw Miss Qiu, whom her mother had mentioned, with her own eyes.
She was a girl dressed in a long black coat and trousers, covering herself completely, including her face.
When Ye Wanxi entered the room, all you could see at first glance was her eyes.
This unexpected eye contact clearly startled the sensitive young woman, causing her to tense up and tremble involuntarily.
Upon seeing this, Madam Qiu, who was sitting next to the woman, quickly stood up to block Ye Wanxi's view, pressed Miss Qiu's face into her arms, gently patted her back, and whispered comforting words.
Ye Wanxi watched this scene, her eyes flickering slightly, but she said nothing.
As if she had anticipated this situation, Madam Feng pulled Ye Wanxi to stand still for a while, and only after Miss Qiu's condition improved did she ask in a low voice, "How is Linshan? Is she alright?"
Lin Shan? Ye Wanxi frowned, feeling that the name sounded familiar, as if she had heard it somewhere before.
When Mrs. Qiu heard Madam Feng's question, she did not immediately release Qiu Linshan, but instead turned to look at Ye Wanxi apologetically.
"I'm sorry, Linshan is a bit shy and hasn't been out for several years. This is her first time out, so she's a little unaccustomed to it. It wasn't meant to be rude, and I hope Miss Ye won't mind."
Even though the other party tried their best to hide it, Ye Wanxi still saw the scar hidden at the edge of the black veil in that one glance.
Having roughly guessed why Miss Qiu was reacting so strongly, she sat down opposite the two women with Madam Feng and said with a smile, "It's nothing. It's just that you haven't seen people for so long, so it's normal to feel a little out of place when you suddenly come out."
Ye Wanxi picked up the menu on the table and took the initiative, saying, "I'm sorry, the crew was filming late today, so I'm sorry to have kept you waiting. Did you order anything? If not, order now. I see this restaurant is quite busy, and there are a lot of customers. If we order now, it might take a while for our food to arrive."
Madam Feng could easily see that Ye Wanxi was deliberately changing the subject and trying to lighten the mood, so she quickly chimed in, "Wanxi is right. In the short time we've been here, the outside is already packed. If we don't hurry up and order, we might end up having a late-night snack instead of dinner."
Qiu Linshan heard that the outside was now full of people, and instinctively froze for a moment.
But she quickly realized that they were in a private room, and only these few people could see her.
This realization eased her tense nerves a little.
Although Ye Wanxi didn't stare directly at her, her attention was always on her. After ordering, she handed the menu to her and said, "Miss Qiu, is there anything you'd like to eat? Please order a few things."
Mrs. Qiu was startled, her heart leaping into her throat. She stared at Qiu Linshan with a tense expression, afraid that she might have another extreme reaction.
Surprisingly, this time she neither trembled nor flinched. She remained silent for about ten seconds before finally saying in a hoarse voice, "Anything is fine."
