"So what if I'm shameless?" Zhang Fengxia couldn't take it anymore. Her eyes turned red as she roared, "How old am I? I can be with whoever I want. You've been forcing me to get married these past two years just to complete your mission. You keep telling me about matching social status, are you trying to breed me?"
"You fucking..."
"Alright! Say no more!" Fengxia's mother hurriedly advised.
"Uncle, calm down. Getting angry isn't good. We're just celebrating the Mid-Autumn Festival together, having a meal. Fengxia just hasn't figured things out yet," her cousin quickly advised.
“Yes, Uncle, I believe Fengxia will gradually come to her senses,” Awei chimed in.
For a moment, Awei seemed more like the son of the family, while Zhang Fengxia seemed like an outsider. Lu Feng sat there, not knowing what to say, and could only say that every family has its own troubles.
The atmosphere at the dinner table was tense. The old man kept sighing, probably unable to understand why young people nowadays were so stubborn about marriage. He believed that settling down and starting a family was the most natural thing to do. Back in his day, if his family arranged a marriage for him, it would be settled immediately.
"You're coming to Huijing with me tomorrow!" Fengxia's mother declared.
“I can go, and he has to go too. After visiting my second uncle’s family, I have to come back to work!” Zhang Fengxia said in a deep voice.
“I can’t control your daughter, don’t talk to me,” Fengxia’s father said in a deep voice.
"Go ahead, everyone go. It won't make a difference if one more person comes. Wei should go too," Grandma said. Seeing how long they had been making a fuss, she figured they were just visiting relatives and would only be staying for two days.
That's how it's settled.
After dinner, as the city lights began to twinkle, the family drove home in silence. Once inside the villa area, Lu Feng whispered to Zhang Fengxia beside him, "My villa is all cleaned up. Sleep there tonight. Besides, could you please not let me go to Huijing? You go see your second uncle, but I don't know him."
"If you don't go, he'll stick to me the whole way. I can't just cut ties with my family, can I? You're not allowed to go back to sleep. You're sleeping in my room tonight. I'll disgust him to death!" Zhang Fengxia said through gritted teeth. "He still wants to eat swan meat? I'll give birth to a child and scare him to death!"
"We two... this... isn't appropriate, is it?" Lu Feng said awkwardly.
"If you don't tell, and I don't tell, Xiaoyan won't know. Besides, we're just in the same room," Zhang Fengxia said indifferently.
As he passed by the villa, he saw that the lights were on in Villa No. 1. Lu Feng pushed open the door and went inside, where he saw Jin Tingting lying on the sofa watching TV.
"Mr. Lu is here? Please come in!" Jin Tingting said politely.
"I won't go in. You're going to Huijing tomorrow, right? I'll go there too. Is your dad there?" Lu Feng hadn't been in contact with him for a while and didn't know much about Uncle Jin's situation.
"My dad is coming to inspect the area. Uncle Huang is the vice governor now, so it seems he'll be hosting him. I think we can have a meal together." Jin Tingting said politely, "Come in, I'm bored by myself."
"Vice-provincial level?" Lu Feng was stunned and asked, "Wasn't he going to be the mayor of Anhui? How did he become a vice-provincial level official? That's too high. Isn't your father in the province? How come when he went to inspect, was General Manager Huang receiving him?"
“My dad was transferred two years ago and went to work at the Ministry of Commerce. I’ve been transferred too, and I’m now the second secretary in the provincial government office!” Jin Tingting said with a smile, “What you’re talking about is all from the past.”
"Really? Oh, that's great!" Lu Feng couldn't stop smiling as he hurried inside and said politely, "If you need anything while you're staying here, just let me know. I'll give you my business card. Sometimes when I'm not in the country, you can call Wei Yandan."
Seeing Lu Feng's eagerness, Jin Tingting smiled and said, "I thought you knew. These things are all announced. How could you not know?"
"Sorry, your brother here is only focused on the electronics industry, my perspective is too narrow." Lu Feng patted Jin Tingting on the shoulder and said, "We're all family, just say the word, I'll do what I can for you, and I'll find a way to do what I can't."
"Tsk tsk tsk, look at you. Okay, fine, you go ahead and do your thing. We've known each other for a while." Jin Tingting said, watching TV, "Why don't you sit down and watch for a bit?"
"No, I have something to do over there."
Lu Feng walked out, sighing inwardly. In the past two years, not only had he undergone earth-shattering changes, but the people around him had also risen step by step!
