When her uncle saw Yao Yao come back alone, he hurriedly asked her what was wrong. Yao Yao told him the truth, which made her uncle so angry that he stomped his feet!
Inside the city, at the Monopoly Ballroom, although it had only just gotten dark, the place was already bustling with activity. These past few days had been the busiest time of year, with all sorts of big bosses and young women having some free time.
Today, Brother Gou wasn't playing mahjong on the second floor. He was sitting in a booth talking to a few out-of-town hoodlums next to him, bragging about how awesome he was and how he could freeload off anyone. Han Qiong was among them, and because of his outstanding looks, he was quite popular with the girls who were there to keep him company.
He knew Brother Gou, and they were all familiar faces, regardless of whether they were from the underworld or the gray area.
"In this area, if you need anything, just ask me. I'll take care of everything for you. Ask him, Old Han, the dream lover of countless girls in this city." Dog Brother patted Han Qiong and said, "In our city, if you mention my name, Dog Brother, people will take a detour. If they're too timid, they'll have to kneel down and kowtow to you twice."
"Dog Bro is awesome!"
"A toast to Brother Dog."
While drinking, Dog Brother turned to look at Han Qiong and said, "Didn't you have a woman on your side recently? Why are you suddenly showing up?"
"I don't have much money, and my belly is big. I even got stumped by a question today." Han Qiong paused for a moment and said, "Brother Gou, do you know someone named Lu Feng? I don't think that kid could be unknown and working at Jiaming Foods."
Jiaming Foods? Lu Feng?
A name popped into Dog Brother's mind, startling him. He looked at Han Qiong and asked, "What does he do?"
"He said he was from some workshop. I've traveled all over the country and seen all kinds of people. That guy is definitely not simple. Look at his eyes, his temperament, and the way he speaks!" Han Qiong recalled the scenes from noon.
When Brother Gou heard that it was someone from the workshop, he relaxed and shook his head, saying, "I'm not very familiar with him. I do know someone from Jiaming Foods named Lu Feng, but someone of your status wouldn't be able to get in touch with him."
"He was about 1.78 meters tall, with slightly long hair, and wearing a suit..."
Listening to his rambling, Dog Brother pulled out a photo cut from a newspaper from his pocket, held it up, and said, "Is this it? I don't recognize it if it's not this one!"
"Yes, yes, that's him!"
A few minutes later, Han Qiong scrambled home, but turned back as soon as he got downstairs and said to Brother Gou, "Lend me 1,500 yuan!"
"Why should I?"
"Because I'm his brother-in-law now!" Han Qiong said, panting heavily.
"Holy crap, you've got your hands on President Lu's sister?" Dog Brother's face was filled with shock.
"I'm retiring from this life and going home to take care of my kids. Will you lend me this money?"
Without saying a word, Dog Brother pulled out two thousand yuan and slammed it on the table.
...
Lu Feng and his wife stayed at home all afternoon. Although Lu Wancai and his wife didn't say anything, they still subtly hinted at the child in their conversations.
Jiang Xiaoyan was in a bad mood all afternoon, and after dinner, Lu Feng suggested going back to the hotel to rest.
The bright moonlight shone down from the sky like goose feathers, creating an indescribable beauty. The surroundings were very quiet, with only the occasional bark of a dog coming from afar.
This tranquility is incredibly comforting. It's not far from the hotel; just walk straight and turn two corners, or about a 20-minute walk.
"It's snowing, it's not safe to drive, let's walk home!" Jiang Xiaoyan was wearing a knitted hat with a small pink bun on the back. Her nose was slightly red from the cold, and her little face was incredibly pretty.
Lu Feng stared at her for a moment, then nodded and said, "You're good-looking, so you get to decide."
Jiang Xiaoyan was a little embarrassed by his sudden praise. She raised her fist to punch him and said with a laugh, "You're just good at talking. Hurry up and go back. Keep up the good work tonight."
"Still working hard?" Lu Feng ran ahead, shouting as he stepped on the pristine snow, "Can I ask for a day off?"
"No way! Didn't you see your grandparents' faces? They're making me so angry!" Jiang Xiaoyan got angrier and angrier, grabbing a handful of snow from the ground and throwing it at Lu Feng.
"Are you going to have a snowball fight with me?" Lu Feng grabbed a snowball the size of a sandbag from the side and threw it at Jiang Xiaoyan, hitting her squarely and causing her to scream in surprise.
"You dare hit me!" Jiang Xiaoyan hastily gathered up a pile of snow from the ground and charged towards Lu Feng.
The sounds of laughter pierced the sky and carried far and wide. A dozen minutes later, Jiang Xiaoyan was half-soaked, clutching her hat, her hair disheveled, and snow still visible on her neck. She glared angrily at Lu Feng.
"Why are you still angry?" Lu Feng asked, standing under a tree not far away. "How about I punish myself a little?"
After he finished speaking, he kicked a tree, and the snow on the tree covered him, turning him into a snowman. After patting the snow off himself, Lu Feng realized that she had been standing next to him at some point, holding a large snowball in her hand, with a mischievous smile on her face.
Suddenly, Jiang Xiaoyan pulled open Lu Feng's clothes, stuffed the whole snowball inside, and threw it away laughing. Lu Feng screamed and chased after her, stimulated by the icy sensation.
The moment was especially beautiful under the heavy snowfall, as if everything had been forgotten, leaving only happiness. However, some cracks, once they exist, will always exist, and will only grow larger.
...
On the 29th day of the Lunar New Year, my uncle brought Yao Yao and Han Qiong. This time, Han Qiong was much more low-key, sitting politely on the sofa. The arrogance of this family before seemed to have disappeared overnight.
There were some fruits and other things on the coffee table. Lu Wancai looked at them, somewhat bewildered, and asked, "Brother, what do you mean by this?"
