Chapter 491: Have You Forgotten About Me?
"So that’s what it meant!"
Lu Zixuan, with a face full of surprise, immediately continued, "Since Mr. Ling has this intention, I will definitely convey it to the Family Head as soon as possible. How about we set another time later?"
"Sure!"
Ling Feng nodded his head.
With the matter handled, the people from the Lu Family got into their cars and left. Ling Feng didn’t see the faces of Lu Liang and Sun Lei.
But it didn’t matter anymore. A load was off his chest, and he was in a good mood. Once there was no one else at the entrance, Ling Feng, with his arm around Xun Qianqian’s shoulder, asked, "So, how was that? Was your brother awesome or what?"
Xun Qianqian beamed with joy, holding up two thumbs, "Extremely awesome!"
"Haha, it’s also thanks to the Lu Family’s cooperation; otherwise, we would have had to battle it out with them!" laughed Ling Feng.
"Luckily, that didn’t happen, or it would have shocked everyone, right? The people from our village would have been scared out of their minds," Xun Qianqian said with a laugh.
The two of them were chatting merrily at the entrance while the onlookers gradually walked out of their homes and came over cautiously.
They didn’t recognize Ling Feng, but Xun Qianqian was well known to everyone, so someone couldn’t resist asking, "Qian Qian, what just happened?"
"It was all because of me..."
Xun Qianqian, always straightforward, was just about to complain about her parents when Ling Feng quickly pulled her back and took over the conversation, "That little ruffian took a fancy to my Qian Qian and wanted to bully her, but I chased him off!"
"And you are?"
"Me? I’m Qian Qian’s boyfriend!" Ling Feng said with a smile.
People went "Oh," showing an expression of sudden realization.
At this moment, Xun Daqiang and his wife also came out of the house, looking somewhat awkward. They had seen everything that had happened outside and only now realized that they had underestimated Ling Feng’s influence.
Fortunately, Ling Feng was not one to hold grudges, and once the matter was over, it was over. Seeing the couple’s strange expression, he said with a smile to the people around, "All right, it’s getting cold, so let’s not stand around any longer. We’ll be heading back home soon."
After speaking, he took Xun Qianqian’s hand and entered the yard.
Once back in the house, Xun Daqiang said with a sheepish smile, "That...umm..."
"Uncle Xun, you don’t have to say it. I understand your good intentions, and I’m not angry with you!" Ling Feng interjected first.
"That’s good, that’s really good!" Xun Daqiang hurriedly responded.
"But I still have to say this, we are all ordinary folks, and there are some people we can’t aspire to be with, and they look down on us."
"Yes, you’re right. I definitely understand that now," said Xun Daqiang with a sheepish smile.
Ling Feng did not dwell further on the topic and, turning to Xun Qianqian, said, "Then I’ll be heading back first!"
"I’m coming with you!"
Xun Qianqian quickly grabbed his sleeve.
"You should stay and spend some time with Uncle and Auntie. Going back the day after tomorrow is fine too!" Ling Feng said, winking.
"Why are you winking? What does that mean?" asked Xun Qianqian.
Ling Feng, at a loss for words, had to explain directly, "You haven’t seen your parents for almost half a year. Stay and spend some time with them."
"All right then."
Although she was reluctant, seeing her mother’s pitiful eyes, Xun Qianqian’s heart softened, and she agreed.
"Alright, be a good girl, don’t make Uncle and Auntie angry, got it?" Ling Feng patted her head.
"I got it, I got it, stop nagging!"
Xun Qianqian rolled her eyes and pushed Ling Feng towards the door, "Weren’t you leaving? Go on, go ahead!"
"This girl, coming from so far away, how could you leave without having a meal?" Xun Daqiang quickly spoke up, trying to keep him.
"We’re all family here, no need for formalities. I have things to take care of at home, but I’ll definitely come over for a meal another time!" Ling Feng said with a smile, heading towards the gate.
Seeing that they couldn’t persuade him to stay, Xun Daqiang and his wife quickly escorted him to the door. They watched as Ling Feng got into his car and drove off, only returning to their room after he was out of sight.
As soon as they entered, the old couple pulled Xun Qianqian down to sit with them and said in unison, "Hurry up and tell us about you and Ling Feng!"
...
...
Driving the military vehicle on the highway, Ling Feng’s gaze was fixed on the road ahead, but his mind was preoccupied with the events that had just unfolded.
Even though Sun Lei had received his deserved punishment, Ling Feng felt that the matter might not be over yet!
Remembering the look in Lu Liang’s eyes when he looked at him, Ling Feng sensed that he was actually not willing to give up!
People say that a master and disciple’s relationship is like that of father and son. After all, Sun Lei’s "Cultivation" was outstanding among the young generation, even one of the top-notch.
Now that he was ruined, could Lu Liang really accept it?
The reason for the compromise was merely because the Lu Family Head had spoken, so he had no choice but to acquiesce.
Therefore, one day in the future, Lu Liang might just take the opportunity to seek revenge against him!
However, although Ling Feng thought this, he laughed the next moment.
Let him seek revenge, who’s afraid of whom?
With that thought, he felt cheery again and started whistling happily as he drove towards Shiliu Village.
Just as he was passing through the county town, his phone rang. Glancing at the caller ID, Ling Feng slowly stopped the car and answered with a chuckle, "What’s up, missed me, huh?"
"Pfft, why would I miss you?" Miao Lanlan retorted on the other end.
Ling Feng grinned, "If you didn’t miss me, why did you call?"
"If I didn’t call you, you wouldn’t call me either. Did you forget about me?" asked Miao Lanlan.
"How could I!"
Noticing a hint of grievance in her tone, he quickly explained, "You know, since that incident at Yuhe’s, I’ve hardly had a moment’s rest, running around with things to do!"
"I know you’re busy, but that’s no excuse for ignoring me, right?" Miao Lanlan asked.
Ling Feng showed a rueful smile and promptly admitted his fault, "Sorry, it’s my fault. Well, I’ll come visit you when I’m free one of these days."
"No need, I’m already on my way!" said Miao Lanlan.
Ling Feng was taken aback, "Where to?"
"To Mars!"
Miao Lanlan suddenly got irritated, blurted out a sentence, and hung up the phone.
Ling Feng stared dumbfounded at the blank screen, utterly confused!
But he understood in an instant, so he shook his head with a wry smile and said, "That girl, it seems she is really mad at me!"
She had made it quite clear that she had set off on the road. Where else could she be going? Naturally, to Shiliu Village!
And there he was, like an idiot, asking her where she was going, as if he was asking for a scolding?
...
...
When he got back to Shiliu Village, the house was eerily quiet with nobody in sight. Seeing that it was already one in the afternoon, Ling Feng didn’t feel like cooking and decided to make do with a couple of instant noodles prepared with hot water.
Before the noodles were ready, the sound of a car engine came from outside. Soon after, a svelte figure appeared at the door.
Miao Lanlan’s face was tight, and she stood there glaring at Ling Feng, clearly still not over her anger.
Ling Feng, seeing her in denim jeans highlighting her long legs, asked with a grin, "Aren’t you cold, dressed so lightly?"
