Bai Jiaojiao heard Yang Fenglin's voice and turned her head to see Yang Fenglin and Qi Yunxin, one tall and the other short, with a round little thing in the middle holding a... rib in its mouth?
Bai Doudou is very perceptive of Bai Jiaojiao's emotions. It knows who Bai Jiaojiao likes and dislikes, so it trusts Yang Fenglin. It barks loudly at Ding's parents, and the rib in its mouth falls out when it barks, which makes Bai Doudou even angrier.
Mr. and Mrs. Ding turned their heads to look at the newcomers, and of course they did not miss the pickup truck behind Yang Fenglin: "Who are you? Please do not interfere in our family affairs."
He knew these two people must have powerful connections, so he spoke to them politely.
Yang Fenglin said, "She and I are family. What family matters are you talking about? Sister, who is this?"
Yang Fenglin initially thought that the woman who called herself his mother was Bai Jiaojiao's mother-in-law, but after hearing her talk about raising Bai Jiaojiao for so many years, he was completely confused.
"...I don't know him."
It was a complicated matter, and Bai Jiaojiao was in a bad mood, so she didn't want to explain in front of Ding's parents.
"Are you her family member?" Mr. and Mrs. Ding understood the implication in Yang Fenglin's words. "Are you her...her lover?"
Seeing Yang Fenglin dressed in a uniform and driving a four-wheeled pickup truck, Ding's father had to think twice before speaking.
"I am her brother!"
Yang Fenglin led Bai Doudou to Bai Jiaojiao's side and said, "Her mother is my aunt. How come I didn't know that there was someone like you in our Yang family?" Yang Fenglin stood on the stone steps and looked down at Ding's mother.
Ding's mother felt embarrassed by Yang Fenglin's stare, but she was still pondering his words.
"The Yang family?"
"Where are you from? Haven't you heard of the Yang family in Yancheng?" Yang Fenglin introduced himself, "Yang Fu, my grandfather, her maternal grandfather! Do you understand? If you dare to come here again, we'll unleash our dogs and kill you, you know that?"
"Yang Fu?! Which Yang Fu?"
"Is there another Yang Fu?"
If you mention Yang Changping's name, probably not many people would know it. But if you mention Yang Fu, that's the name on school textbooks and propaganda team slogans. Who wouldn't know it?
As a second-generation official who relied on his father's power, Yang Fenglin knew exactly how to use his father's name to intimidate others. Although his father was now in charge, using his father's name was useless; his grandfather's name still carried more weight.
However, he was also good at stopping short of making a point. He said he would just let the dogs bite, which both deterred the other party and prevented his grandfather from really getting into trouble and ruining his reputation in his later years.
Mr. Ding and Mrs. Ding exchanged a glance.
"Jiaojiao, what's going on? Why didn't you tell us? Your biological mother is..."
"This is none of your business anymore. Now that you know about this, you should stay away from me even more. You know my temper, so don't mess with me!"
Bai Jiaojiao called out, "Qi Yunxin, come in!"
He led the two into the courtyard.
She peeked through the crack in the door at the commotion outside. The two people who had been arguing and causing trouble at her door for a long time actually left after Yang Fenglin interrupted them by saying a few words in hushed tones.
Bai Jiaojiao sighed before explaining the identities of Ding's parents to the two of them. Finally, she added, "Feng Lin, if you mention the Yang family and let them know that I've become successful, they will be even less likely to let me off the hook."
There will be more troubles to come, but it will be fine once Shen Heng comes back. Just grab them one in each hand and throw them outside the door. After a couple more times, these two will know their limits.
"How could I forget about that!" Yang Fenglin had heard Yang Changping mention that the last time the spy Ding Shifang was caught, it was because a girl who had been switched at birth with her reported him.
When they first met, Bai Jiaojiao told him that she was the one who reported the incident. Yang Fenglin slapped his forehead, realizing that he hadn't made any connection at all.
One shocking thing after another happened, so it's no wonder Yang Fenglin had a mental breakdown.
"Hey, I don't remember at all. Old Qi, you didn't think of it either?"
"Um."
They really are half-brothers, they look very alike.
"Sister, don't worry. If your husband isn't around, I'll come over whenever I can. If I let them into your yard, it'll be my fault as their younger brother. Here's what I'll do: I'll have someone come and install a phone for your house tomorrow, so it'll be easier for us to stay in touch."
"Phone? That's too much trouble, let's not use it." Bai Jiaojiao couldn't do anything about Bai Doudou's leg-curling, so she squatted down to pick it up, only to see that it still had that rib in its mouth, but it was covered in dirt.
Yang Fenglin chuckled upon seeing this: "Sis, Dou Dou didn't want to eat any all day, she was waiting to get it for you when she got back!"
"Awoo." When Bai Jiaojiao squatted down, Bai Doudou actually spat out the ribs in front of her.
Yang Fenglin laughed heartily: "This dog really understands human nature! Sister, it knows you're good to it and is repaying you."
Bai Jiaojiao: "..."
Bai Doudou's little eyes were full of expectation, and Bai Jiaojiao didn't want to disappoint it. She picked up the ribs with two fingers, carried them to the kitchen, and threw them away where Bai Doudou couldn't see them.
When Bai Doudou saw that Bai Jiaojiao was going to hide the ribs it had given her, she was overjoyed and almost dislocated her tail from wagging it.
"Sis, shall we go back now?"
"Why don't you have dinner at my place? Those two probably haven't gone far yet."
Bai Jiaojiao said.
At first, Ding's father was only demoted, but after Ding Shifang's fuss, his family property was confiscated. Fortunately, it was a socialist country, otherwise they would have ended up sleeping on the streets.
As for transportation, forget about it. The couple walked all the way here. If they see Yang Fenglin's car leaving on the road, they'll probably have to turn back.
Yang Fenglin is right. Bai Jiaojiao is home alone now and does need her younger brother to support her.
Of course, Bai Jiaojiao couldn't let him bear the burden for nothing, so she planned to cook a meal to reward her adorable cousin and his friends.
"Okay, sis, how's your cooking? When we first met, you said that if we were destined to meet again, you would treat us to dinner at your home."
Yang Fenglin grinned broadly, now he would have something to brag about to his father and grandfather, and they would be green with envy.
Qi Yunxin's heart was stirred.
Yang Fenglin said it so well, this is fate, the fate between them.
"Then you can come inside and sit for a while. DouDou, you're not allowed in the kitchen."
"Sis, Lao Qi and I are completely clueless about cooking, but I'll help you wash the dishes after we eat!"
Without waiting for Bai Jiaojiao's reply, Yang Fenglin led Yang Fenglin and Bai Doudou to the living room, where the two sat on opposite sides of the sofa.
He instructed, "Old Qi, you must stick to your principles. Don't let my sister's delicious cooking rekindle your evil thoughts, understand?"
"Hmm," Qi Yunxin uttered a nasal sound.
Yang Fenglin didn't delve into it further, picked up Bai Doudou and stroked its little belly: "Our Doudou is still a little girl, chubby and soft, how can she be so cute. Let me give her a kiss."
Qi Yunxin: "..."
He didn't really understand why Yang Fenglin liked dogs so much.
Yang Fenglin wanted to train dogs, but he was rejected because he was not qualified enough. Yang Changping was ashamed and refused to help him get transferred to the same unit as him.
