Chen Feng didn’t speak, but Chen Xiaoxia responded, "This was a chance encounter, of course we should help if we can."
Chen Feng reminded, "Don’t stand here blocking traffic, go ahead and drive."
Hong Xiaodan’s car wasn’t just by the roadside, it was occupying a lane.
Hong Xiaodan snapped back to reality and quickly said, "Alright, I’ll go drive first. I’m really thankful to you guys this ti. Let treat you to dinner."
"No need. We were just passing by, it’s nothing. You should go drive."
After saying this, Chen Feng turned and walked towards his car by the roadside, still so distance away from her.
Seeing this, Hong Xiaodan could only smile wryly. Chen Xiaoxia, knowing her nephew’s thoughts, gave her an apologetic smile and also turned to walk with her nephew.
However, Hong Xiaodan quickly started her car and drove towards where Chen Feng had parked.
At this mont, just as Chen Feng and Chen Xiaoxia reached the car, Hong Xiaodan pulled up beside them, rolled down the window, leaned over, and said to Chen Xiaoxia, "Aunt Chen, my mom won’t be ho for dinner tonight. Can I co to your house for a al?"
Chen Xiaoxia was a bit speechless upon hearing this but still smiled politely and said, "Of course, you’re welco to co to my house as a guest."
"Haha, that’s great. I’ll invite you to my place for dinner tomorrow to return the favor."
She really said it naturally, directly including Chen Feng.
"No need to be so polite, it’s just a al. I’ve lost count of how many als I’ve had at your house while playing mahjong with your mom."
"It’s necessary. My mom is my mom, I’m , it’s different. Besides, you guys helped out this ti. Especially Brother Chen, if he hadn’t stepped in, I might have gotten slapped just now."
What else could Chen Xiaoxia say? She could only smile in response.
Chen Feng firmly refused, saying, "I have things to do tomorrow, but I appreciate your kind offer."
Hong Xiaodan asked with a smile, "What do you have to do?"
Sitting in the driver’s seat, Chen Feng gave her a look but eventually said, "I have to take my cousins to the wetland park."
"Wetland park, huh? What a coincidence, I was planning to go there tomorrow too. Let’s go together then. Aunt Chen, you don’t mind, do you?"
Chen Xiaoxia was sowhat amazed at Hong Xiaodan’s persistence. As an elder and her mom’s card friend, could she really refuse?
"Well, you young people can decide for yourselves. I won’t be going tomorrow."
Originally, Chen Xiaoxia intended to go since it was a family outing, but with Hong Xiaodan barging in, it wasn’t appropriate for her as an elder to join in, to avoid making things awkward for her nephew and herself.
"It’s settled then. We’ll set off together tomorrow morning."
Hong Xiaodan assud Chen Xiaoxia and Chen Feng had agreed and cheerfully said, "Brother Chen, you lead the way. I haven’t been to Aunt Chen’s house yet."
Chen Feng looked at her speechlessly. Once Chen Xiaoxia got into the car, he imdiately started the car and drove away.
Chen Feng initially planned to leave her behind, but considering she would definitely call her mom and Chen Xiaoxia to inquire, he could only give up the idea.
"Mom, isn’t she the one Brother went on a blind date with yesterday?"
In the car, Fang Zechao asked sowhat surprised. He and Fang Min had stayed in the car, sitting there the whole ti.
"That’s her." Chen Xiaoxia said, a bit proud but also helpless, "Looks like your brother’s heroic act has made her even more smitten."
Fang Zechao, looking envious, said, "This young lady is really pretty, and her family is so wealthy. Brother, aren’t you considering it?"
Chen Feng casually said, "I already have a girlfriend. What does it matter how pretty she is to ?"
"Brother, could your girlfriend possibly be prettier than her?" Fang Zechao asked with envy.
Chen Feng nodded with a bit of a show-off attitude, "Of course."
In terms of appearance, deanor, and charm, Chen Feng felt that both Sun Xiaorui and Wu ngting were slightly superior to Hong Xiaodan, though when it ca to Lin Yujiao, it was probably a close match.
"Wow! Even prettier than her, then she must be a celestial beauty!" Fang Zechao exclaid with admiration.
Chen Xiaoxia frowned and scolded, "Speak properly."
Fang Zechao chuckled sheepishly, "I’m just surprised. Brother is really amazing; his girlfriend is actually prettier than this young lady."
"Your brother was handso from a young age, always attracted girls. Unlike you, the older you get, the more you resemble your dad, the more plain-looking you beco." Chen Xiaoxia bluntly hit her son’s self-confidence, leaving Fang Zechao feeling quite down.
"Auntie, don’t be so hard on Zechao. He’s in his adolescence now. Once his acne clears up and he tidies himself up, he’ll look quite nice. After all, he has half your genes."
Chen Xiaoxia imdiately bead and said, "That’s true. Luckily, your brother inherited so of my genes; otherwise, he’d be hard to look at."
"Mom, is this how you talk about your own son?" Fang Zechao protested.
"We’re all family here, what’s wrong with saying it? You indeed aren’t that handso."
Fang Zechao sunk into a sulk.
Chen Feng sympathetically said, "Auntie, why hit Zechao’s confidence like that? If you continue, he won’t have any self-esteem left, how will he find a girlfriend in the future?"
"That’s true, back in high school he had a girlfriend, though it lasted only about ten days. But now he’s in his second year of university, still single. All he thinks about is playing gas, not even bothering to find a girlfriend. As his brother, you should teach him more. Chao, did you hear that, learn from your brother in the future. As for studies, we don’t expect you to match him, but when it cos to getting a girlfriend, seek advice from him."
Chen Feng was a bit speechless, but Fang Zechao was quite intrigued. Being a hormone-driven young man, how could he not be interested in the opposite sex? It was just that he previously lacked opportunity and skills.
"I heard, I will definitely learn more from Brother. Brother, in the future, if there’s anything I don’t understand, I’ll consult you."
"Sure. Just reach out to then." Chen Feng readily agreed, since he only had one cousin.
"You cheeky kid, now you’re all eager." Chen Xiaoxia laughed and scolded.
"Hehe..." Fang Zechao scratched his head.
Fang Min was quietly engrossed in her phone the entire ti, appearing completely disinterested in their conversation.
Everyone seed used to her behavior.
The two cars one ahead, one behind, returned to Chen Xiaoxia’s house.
Hong Xiaodan really followed closely and didn’t lose track the whole way.
Out of courtesy, Chen Xiaoxia brought her inside the house.
Inside, Grandma was already preparing dinner. Seeing Hong Xiaodan, the "esteed guest," arrive, she warmly welcod her imdiately.
Upon hearing that she was Chen Xiaoxia’s birth mother, Chen Feng’s grandmother, naturally, Hong Xiaodan assud she was close family. She didn’t stand on ceremony, calling her "Grandma" as well, then enthusiastically helped her sit down and began chatting warmly with her. They seed to hit it off quite well indeed.
