Chapter 36: Feng Family’s Guest
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Both Feng Chen and his wife, who were also Feng Yuan’s parents, knew that Feng Yuan had a girlfriend. However, they knew Feng Yuan well and knew that he didn’t care much about that girl, so they didn’t ask too much about her. However, this didn’t mean that he could bring the girl home as he pleased.
For a big family like theirs, unless they had already decided on someone, they would not easily bring her home. Hence, when Yan Jinyu heard the voice and turned back to look, the woman who was looking at her did not look very pleasant.
There was a middle-aged man standing beside the woman. He looked a little similar to Feng Yuan so Yan Jinyu quickly guessed their identities.
The current head of the Feng Family, Feng Chen and his wife, Luo Linlin.
After the Yan Family of North City was the Luo Family. The Luo family was considered the second largest family in North City’s high society and was slightly above the Feng Family.
Luo Linlin was the eldest daughter of the Luo Family.
Yan Jinyu had already done some research on the various families in North City when she was preparing to return to North City.
Feng Yuan was an insensitive person. He didn’t notice his mother’s displeasure and was happy to have invited Yan Jinyu over. He wanted to keep her in suspense. “Yes, Mom didn’t expect this, right? I also have a day when I bring a guest home. Mom, guess who she is?”
Her son clearly liked this girl very much. Luo Linlin’s frown deepened. She didn’t answer him immediately, and her judging gaze landed on Yan Jinyu again.
Although Feng Chen’s expression wasn’t as obvious as Luo Linlin’s, Yan Jinyu could feel that he didn’t really like her either.
Although they did not ask much about their son’s relationship, they had heard about the other party and her personality.
Xu Xiaoxiao was not suitable to be the daughter-in-law of the Feng Family.
However, the more they looked at the girl before them, the more they felt that she was different from what they had heard. The Xu Xiaoxiao in their imagination was not as pure as she looked.
Yes, there were no impurities in her eyes. fr eewebn ovel.com
The eyes of the girl in front of them were very clear. In a big family like theirs where there were constant open and hidden struggles, it would be hard to even see such eyes in a child.
Unconsciously, the unhappiness in their heart lessened.
They were sizing up Yan Jinyu, and Yan Jinyu was sizing them up as well. She just want to see her two relatives who had insisted on searching for her all these years.
Yan Jinyu had been on the brink of death countless times so she was extremely sharp. She could sense their dislike for her immediately. However, she also understood that they must have mistaken her for someone else.
As for whom she was mistaken for, the first person she thought of was the girl she saw in the cold drink shop with Feng Yuan.
After all the sizing up done and everyone had different thoughts. But, only a minute had passed.
Yan Jinyu smiled and said respectfully, “I apologize for visiting you without telling you in advance. It’s been many years since we last met. Uncle, Aunt, how do you do?”
Uncle? Aunt?
The two of them were surprised. They looked at each other, and when their gazes landed on Yan Jinyu again, they realized that the girl looked a little familiar.
“You, you’re Jinyu?!” Luo Linlin exclaimed with surprise, and her displeasure from before had completely vanished.
“Hehe. Mom, you didn’t expect this, right? It’s Jinyu. How is it? Is your son awesome? I knew that you and Dad wanted to meet Jinyu, so I brought her home.”
Luo Linlin glared at him. “Rascal! Why didn’t you tell us beforehand that Jinyu was coming over?!” She had mistaken her for someone else and didn’t treat her nicely. She wondered if she had scared Jinyu just now.
She stepped forward. “I was standing too far away just now so I didn’t see you properly. From what I saw, Jinyu really looks like my aunt when she was young. Knowing that you’re back, I wanted to find a time to visit you at the Yan Family, but these few years, the Feng Family and the Yan Family… Forget it, let’s not talk about this. It’s good to see you again. The sun is glaring out here, let’s go in first.”
As she spoke, she wanted to pull Yan Jinyu closer to her, but Yan Jinyu avoided her subtly, “Alright, sorry to disturb you.”
Luo Linlin was a little surprised by her actions. On second thought, perhaps the little girl wasn’t familiar with her yet, so she didn’t take it to heart, “What’s there to disturb us for? I don’t know how happy I am to see you. After so many years, Feng Yuan has done one thing right.”
Feng Chen did not speak, but the hidden emotions in his eyes betrayed him.
When he found out that it was Yan Jinyu, he was obviously surprised and excited.
Feng Yuan was in a good mood. He didn’t even take Luo Linlin’ s usual ridicules to heart and happily followed her in.
In the Feng Family’s living room.
A servant brought a few cups of tea and some snacks.
Luo Linlin sat beside Yan Jinyu and kept placing the snacks on the coffee table in front of her, “Come and have some snacks. Have you had lunch? If you haven’t, I’ll get the kitchen to prepare it for you.”
Ever since she stepped into the Feng family, Yan Jinyu had been maintaining a faint smile on her face. Although they were distant relatives, their passion and concern for her were not lacking at all.
Compared to the Yan Family, Yan Jinyu felt that she was more comfortable in the Feng Family. In other words, facing the Feng family made her feel better.
In the Feng family, she wouldn’t always feel so frustrated.
“Yes, I had it.” After a pause, she added, “I ate with Cousin.”
Feng Yuan was pleased with himself. “Yes, we ate together. We only came over after eating. Mom, you don’t have to get busy.” But he had forgotten that it was Yan Jinyun who had given him a treat.
Luo Linlin glared at Feng Yuan again. However, when she turned her gaze towards Yan Jinyu, she looked amiable again, “It’s good that you’ve had lunch.” She said as she looked at Yan Jinyu, “It’s good that you’re back. It’s been hard on you all these years.” There were still tears in her eyes.
Yan Jinyu’s eyes flickered slightly, and then she laughed lightly. “Thank you for worrying, Aunt. Actually, I’ve been living quite well all these years.”
“Child, you don’t have to say these words to ease my heart. I know very well how you got here. Your parents are heartless…”
Before she could finish speaking, she was interrupted by Feng Chen, who was holding a cup of tea at the side, “What are you talking about?” He put down the teacup and looked at Yan Jinyu, “It’s good that you’re back. Seeing that you’re fine now, we can rest assured too. If you have time in the future, come over to the Feng Family more often.”
Yan Jinyu smiled and nodded.
“Yes, that’s right. Let’s not talk about these unhappy things. Tell your aunt how you met your cousin Feng Yuan?”
“How else could I have met her? It was all because of that black-hearted Yan Jinyun who brought her out. If I hadn’t met her halfway and intercepted her, she would probably have been brought to Zhao Yue’s birthday party by that black-hearted person later. Birthday parties are the best to set people up. At that time, I’m afraid Jinyu wouldn’t even know how she would suffer.” After saying that, Feng Yuan even snorted coldly.
“Rascal, what are you saying? That lass Jin Yun isn’t as bad as you say. However, she has been influenced by Fu Ya all these years, so her behavior is indeed not very likable. Even so, that lass isn’t ruthless enough to scheme against her own sister.”
Yan Jinyu remained silent.
Today, Yan Jinyun had indeed schemed against her. However, just as Luo Linlin said, Yan Jinyun had been influenced by Fu Ya all these years.
“On the other hand, it’s true that the Zhao Family’s daughter’s birthday party isn’t going to be peaceful. The Zhao Family’s daughter isn’t a good person.” She didn’t forget to warn Feng Yuan. “Of course, the Xu Family’s daughter isn’t a good person either.”
Feng Yuan rubbed his nose resentfully, “Mom, if you want to talk to her, just talk to her. Why are you talking about me again?”
“Hmph! I wonder who did he take after. His taste is so bad!”
Feng Yuan decided to remain silent. Otherwise, his mother’s anger would never end.
“Forget it. Let’s not talk about this anymore. You’ve just returned to North City, so you’re still not familiar with some people and matters in North City. I’ll tell you in detail.”
Luo Linlin was very meticulous. She chatted with Yan Jinyu and deliberately avoided Yan Jinyu’s past experiences and the Yan Family. She only told her about the families and people she might come into contact with in North City in the future, as well as what she needed to pay attention to when she interacted with these people in the future.
These things should have been done by Fu Ya.
It was mostly Luo Linlin who spoke. Occasionally, Feng Chen and Feng Yuan would add a sentence or two. Yan Jinyu listened quietly, nodding occasionally.
About half an hour later.
“I don’t have a daughter, so I couldn’t help but tell you so much. Don’t be annoyed by me.” freeweb(n)ovel.com
“No, I’m the one who should be thanking you, Aunt.” Despite all their suggestions, she knew more than they did.
“There’s no need to thank me. In the future, when you’re free, come and chat with your aunt. Your cousin Feng Yuan is my only child, and he’s someone who often stirs up trouble. Whenever I see him, I get annoyed.”
Yan Jinyu smiled without saying a word.
“Alright. Let’s talk more in detail when we have time. Your uncle has something to say to you alone. You guys talk, I’ll go to the kitchen and get someone to cut some fruits.” She got up and called Feng Yuan. “Come and help!”
Her attitude towards him and Yan Jinyu were simply two extremes. This made Feng Yuan suspect that he was not her biological son.
Feng Yuan was not stupid either. He knew that his mother wanted to send him away. “Yes, Mom. Can you be kinder to me? Those who don’t know might think that I’m your enemy.”
“Hmph, aren’t you my enemy? You’re here to make my life miserable! Look at my hair, it’s mostly white from anger!”
Looking at her slightly yellowish hair, Feng Yuan, “…”
