Chapter 1482: Making the Elder Happy (5 Updates)

“I was just wondering why this young man looks so pleasing to the eye—turns out he’s Little Rou’s boyfriend! Tsk tsk… not bad, not bad! The lad looks quite spirited!” Grandma Tang sized Lin Feng up for a couple of seconds, then said with a cheerful smile.

“Heh… thank you for the compliment, Grandma! You’re looking very spirited yourself, you don’t look like someone who just retired at all!” After seeing how Tang Zhendong had behaved in front of Grandma Tang just now, Lin Feng knew he had to switch into interview mode—do everything he could to coax this old lady into a good mood… This Grandma Tang dared to scold Tang Zhendong to his face; there was no reason she’d show any courtesy to him, a junior.

“Oh, Little Lin, what nonsense are you talking… Grandma’s been retired for more than ten years!” Grandma Tang shook her head and said to Lin Feng in a half-scolding tone. Still, she heard the flattery in his words, and her smile grew brilliantly bright.

Tang Zhendong shot Lin Feng a sideways look, feeling even more speechless. This kid not only knows how to make his obedient daughter happy, he can even coax his own mother… it really makes a man jealous!

“Mom, it’s a bit too chilly out here, and you just had another episode. Let’s head back and talk inside!” Supporting his mother, who was chatting away happily, Tang Zhendong reminded her.

“Let’s take my car back…” Lin Feng eagerly opened the car door and said with great enthusiasm.

“No need to trouble you, it’s only a few steps…” Tang Zhendong shook his head, about to turn down Lin Feng’s offer, when he was suddenly hit by another round of his mother’s lecture…

“Zhendong, what’s wrong with you, child! How can you turn down Little Lin’s kind offer at a time like this? If we walk back, how’s he supposed to drive? Are you planning to make him push the car along the road?!” Grandma Tang said to Tang Zhendong without the slightest mercy…

Lin Feng snickered inwardly. In this world, the only person who dares call Tang Zhendong brainless to his face, and have him not dare talk back, is probably this Grandma Tang… she’s sharp as a knife!

Tang Zhendong looked at his mother, all but in tears. He knew that after losing face like this twice in front of Lin Feng today, he’d probably have no shred of authority left in front of the boy from now on…

Still, whatever the case, both Tang Zhendong and Grandma Tang got into Lin Feng’s car… As for Nurse Qiu, she quietly walked back alone, getting ready to pack up and return to her hometown.

Lin Feng parked the car on the lawn of the Tang Family’s detached villa. First, he helped Tang Zhendong support Master Tang out of the car, then took out the gifts he’d bought that morning, following behind Tang Zhendong, lugging big and small bags into the Tang Family home.

After sweeping a glance over the things in Lin Feng’s hands, Grandma Tang felt even more pleased with this future grandson-in-law who knew proper etiquette.

“Just set everything down for now! Tang Rou went to her aunt’s today to pay a family visit; she’ll be back later for dinner…” Seeing how thorough Lin Feng was with his manners, Tang Zhendong felt his dissatisfaction finally ease a little.

Lin Feng did as told. After putting the things down, he took out the Hotan jade seed material jade Buddha he’d bought especially for the old lady, placed it carefully in front of her, and said with a smile, “Grandma, this is a gift I picked out specially for you. See if you like it…”

“This is a gift for me?!” Grandma Tang had just sat down when she looked at Lin Feng in surprise, asking in a mixture of astonishment and delight, “Really? It’s been ages since I’ve received a present… Lin Feng, you’re really more considerate than Zhendong!”

Tang Zhendong rolled his eyes and shot Lin Feng a beard-bristling glare, growing even more displeased with this scheming kid…

Right there, Grandma Tang opened Lin Feng’s gift box, took out the exquisite jade Buddha, and examined it carefully.

With his broad horizons, Tang Zhendong knew a bit about jade. From just one glance he could gauge the value of this jade Buddha, and he was fairly satisfied with Lin Feng’s choice—given his mother’s status, the value of the jade was quite appropriate… If the gift were too cheap, she’d probably feel awkward: keeping it would feel wrong, not keeping it would feel wrong too.

“This is too expensive…” Grandma Tang shook her head, gave Lin Feng a somewhat serious look, and said lightly, “Little Lin, you’re still so young, you should still be in school, right? Isn’t it a bit inappropriate to buy such an expensive gift?”

As soon as Lin Feng heard that, he knew the old lady was hinting that he was spending family money recklessly before he’d even learned how to earn his own…

Hearing his mother’s question, Tang Zhendong looked at Lin Feng with a meaningful expression. He rather wanted to see how Lin Feng would answer…

“Grandma, you’re overthinking it. I may still be in school, but I already have my own business…” Lin Feng said with a smile. “I have quite a few profitable shops under my name now. This gift may not be cheap, but I didn’t have to use my family’s money! And it’s not all that precious either—I just felt it suited you, so I bought it for you. As long as you like it, there’s no need to fuss over the rest.”

Tang Zhendong was a little surprised… Lin Feng’s answer could be called flawless. While speaking in a calm and modest way, the kid had subtly hinted at his own impressive earning ability. The fact that Lin Feng could talk like this genuinely caught Tang Zhendong off guard.

After listening to Lin Feng, Grandma Tang paused for a moment in mild astonishment, then a delighted smile appeared on her face… This Little Lin really was a sensible child.

“Good! Good! Since you’ve put your heart into it, Grandma will accept this gift for now…” Grandma Tang placed the jade Buddha back into the box and handed it to Tang Zhendong, instructing, “Take it up and put it in my room for me!”

So he was the errand boy again? With another aggrieved glance at Lin Feng, Tang Zhendong resentfully took the gift box and trudged upstairs.

After that, Grandma Tang and Lin Feng started chatting about family matters, asking about Lin Feng’s family background… and Lin Feng answered every question, making the old lady burst into laughter again and again.

Not long after, Lin Feng saw a business van pull up outside the Tang Family’s gate. A few people got out of the vehicle, chatting and laughing as they did. Tang Rou was among them, beside a stylish beauty in fur who looked to be around thirty. Behind them came a man in his forties and a girl of about fifteen or sixteen. Judging by the look of it, this was Tang Rou’s aunt’s family of three.

“Lin Feng… you’re here!” While accompanying the beautiful woman in conversation, Tang Rou had been quite distracted. But as soon as she stepped through the door and saw Lin Feng, her eyes lit up instantly. She greeted him in surprise, and if she hadn’t suddenly remembered something and come to her senses, she would almost have thrown herself into his arms.

“Heh… Little Rou, you’re way too excited! Seeing Little Lin, you’re so thrilled you’ve even forgotten Grandma…” Grandma Tang gave Tang Rou a kindly smile and teased, “Girls really do marry out of the family, don’t they!”
