Regarding what the driver said, of course, it was Xiao Feng's deliberate instruction.
And it's not like he said it for nothing. Xiao Feng even added an extra twenty bucks to get the driver to say it...
As for the value of this carload of stuff, although Xiao Feng claid it cost a fortune, it's actually about the total of his travel expenses reimbursed by Song Keren these past few days.
Who knows how Du Qingyue would feel if she knew the truth, but Xiao Feng definitely wouldn't confess voluntarily.
After the container left, Xiao Feng's eting gifts were revealed, all sorts of things were inside, and it looked like he was moving house, with not a few odds and ends.
This left the Du Family a bit taken aback, could it be this guy really moved his whole house over?
Do big shots give gifts so sincerely?
As they pondered, they saw Xiao Feng pulling over a rather old-looking master's chair, stopping in front of Du Qingyun: "I heard from Qingyue that you, sir, like antiques. This chair has been passed down since the Xuantong Period. Do you like it?"
Du Qingyun bead and said, "Good, it's a great thing. Just by the look, it has age. I must put it away well."
Saying so, he ordered soone to carry it away. Although Du Qingyun praised it highly, he actually didn't look at it carefully at all.
This is normal. After all, in everyone's eyes, Xiao Feng could now beco a VIP guest for capital officials!
Such a big shot, how could the gifts he sends be fake?
But if Du Qingyun had looked closely, he would have known, this thing wasn't handed down from the Qing Dynasty at all, and the wood was of one of the common lesser kinds.
However, even if he found sothing amiss, Du Qingyun probably wouldn't say it outright.
Du Qingyue looked at Xiao Feng, feeling sowhat touched. She knew what the driver said was probably false, but giving such a big gift certainly earned her face, how could she not be moved?
But the next mont, that feeling of being touched in Du Qingyue's heart was gone. Everyone else's expressions also beca quite remarkable…
All of this was of course due to Xiao Feng. They saw him pick up a plastic bag from the ground, take out a takeout box and chopsticks, and cheerfully ask, "Who is Aunt Three?"
A woman dressed to the nines in a cheongsam stepped out: "I am Qingyue's Aunt Three."
"Hello, Aunt Three. I heard from Qingyue that you especially love fried sauce noodles, so I had a friend make a portion just for you." Xiao Feng said enthusiastically: "That friend of mine, their ancestors were imperial chefs in the palace. This fried sauce noodle recipe is a family heirloom, a century-old palace secret. Hurry up and eat it, it's still warm."
What the heck!
For a mont, the hearts of the Du Family were surging.
Just now, there was the high-end and tasteful Qing Dynasty master's chair, but now you bring out fried sauce noodles, isn't this gap a bit too much?
Also, using fried sauce noodles as a eting gift, is that appropriate?
However, no matter how many thoughts there were in their hearts, after all, no one dared to say anything, they even had to put on a smiling face.
Aunt Three was stunned for a mont, then quickly smiled, took the chopsticks and takeout box, and actually started eating the noodles in front of everyone.
As soon as she took a bite, her facial features instantly wrinkled together, one would think she had just eaten a big mouthful of lemon.
"How is it, Aunt Three, is it delicious?" Xiao Feng still asked warmly.
Aunt Three was almost in tears, but still forced a smile: "Good, delicious, no wonder it's a palace secret recipe, the taste is simply outstanding! I have never eaten, such... such delicious fried sauce noodles in my life."
"If it's delicious, then eat more. If it's not enough, I'll call my friend to make more for you." Xiao Feng said with a smile.
"No no no, it's enough, enough!" Aunt Three hastily stopped him, but in her heart, she was cursing, thinking did your buddy rob a salt repository or what?
Aunt Three even suspected that there was half a bowl of salt in those noodles, otherwise, it wouldn't be this overwhelmingly salty!
One by one, the gifts were handed out, so faced similar treatnt to Aunt Three, but the rest were more normal.
The won got "Nephrite Jade Bracelets," the n got a watch or a smoking pipe set, the variety of gifts, coupled with Xiao Feng's comntary, left everyone bewildered.
From this perspective, it's a real waste that Xiao Feng isn't in marketing.
Obviously worthless things, after his words, instantly seed different, as if they had received so limited edition priceless treasure.
Du Qingyue took all this in. If she was sowhat displeased when Aunt Three was being fooled, now all displeasure disappeared, leaving only full feelings of affection and warmth.
Last night, Du Qingyue briefly introduced her family's social relationships to Xiao Feng, ntioning so relatives who often mocked or hindered her.
As a result, all those ntioned had the sa fate as Aunt Three today, were fooled by Xiao Feng, and had to swallow their grievances, unable to speak.
They even had to put on a smiling face, not daring to say a bad word.
Although Du Qingyue didn't agree with using this thod for revenge, seeing Xiao Feng vent her anger for her was very pleasing.
At this mont, on the ground next to Xiao Feng, there was only one flowerpot left. The flowerpot had soil, but no plant, and the only one without a gift left was Du Linlang.
Xiao Feng held the flowerpot with both hands, approached Du Linlang: "This flower is called Confession Flower. It doesn't need watering or fertilizing, nor needs sunlight. The only way to make it grow is to confide in it in the still of the night."
These words made everyone cannot help but ridicule in their hearts, really, believe your nonsense. Can you boast any more?
As they pondered, Xiao Feng added: "Rember, you must be sincere. When it blooms, I believe it will surprise you."
Everyone turned in unison to look at Du Linlang, wanting to see how this young star in the family would react to such an obvious insult to intelligence.
Yet, contrary to everyone's expectation, Du Linlang showed no displeasure. Instead, she smiled and took the flowerpot with both hands: "Thank you for the flower. I will confide in it."
This left everyone taken aback while also causing them to start reflecting, thinking, if it were them, what would be the suitable response?
After thinking it over, the conclusion was, in the current situation, there seems to be no better response than Du Linlang's.
"Don't just stand there, let's go inside, have a drink, and talk." Du Feixiang waved his hands, leading everyone towards the manor.
Xiao Feng walked alongside him with a smile, while the people at the back began to whisper: "This guy, why do I get the feeling he doesn't have an impressive background?"
"I have the sa feeling, he doesn't look like a decent person at all."
"Let's hold on until the situation is clearer. While I share your thoughts, it's best not to offend him for now."
Everyone talked one after another, looking at the gifts they received, feeling sowhat uncomfortable, not really happy at all.
In summary, Xiao Feng's first impression on the Du Family could really be described as complicated.
