My Nightclub Landlady

"Yes!" Qin Feng smiled, "If you don"t have this boldness, how can you become the big boss? How will you run the nightclub scene?"

"You son of a b.i.t.c.h," Zhao Jun became serious, "just before you came, I recalled Kun to my side. The a.s.sistant manager of the Free Man Bar is now you. Satisfied?"

"Well, yes."

Qin Feng seemed to have expected it, "This Kun is a mediocre person. You"d better not give him any heavy responsibility, or he"ll slow you down."

"But he is my confidant," Zhao Jun muttered. "At least he won"t do something unexpected behind my back."

With this statement, he seemed to refer to what Qin Feng had done, which made Zhao Jun very uncomfortable, but he had no choice but to go along with it. At his age, he only hoped to live stably and peacefully for the next half of his life. How could he still have so many ambitions?!!! The chanting of his rivals only added a few false epithets to his already weakening reputation. If he really tried to fight, he would not even be up to the standard of Fengyang"s second-rate thugs.

"Well, whatever." Qin Feng lay back with a pleasant face and let the ma.s.seuse work on his feet as he drifted into a lazy nap.

!!!

After the foot ma.s.sage, Qin Feng went to the hospital.

He hadn"t been there for two days and did not know how Zhou Liang"s injury was doing.

At the entrance to the hospital, Qin Feng bought a few nutritional supplements and fresh fruits and went up to Zhu Fangguo"s ward laden with shopping bags. Zhu Fei was not in the hospital, and the nurse had also gone out. By this time, Zhu Fangguo was already able to take care of himself, only staying in the hospital for the infusions necessary to treat his inflammation. Other than that, he was free to move about.

He was in a hurry to leave the hospital and return to work, for fear that the city sanitation company would dismiss him, but Zhu Fei wouldn"t let him.

"Uncle, are you better? I"m sorry, I"ve been too busy these days to come to see you."

Qin Feng was full of smiles. He threw the bags to the bedside. "You can have a good recovery if you aren"t careless. Do not leave any conditions untreated until your old age, or they"ll come back to bite you."

"Qin Feng, I haven"t seen you these two days, I"ve been wanting to ask..."

Zhu Fangguo was Zhu Fei"s father after all. Before he finished, Qin Feng already knew what he wanted to say and quickly interrupted, "Uncle, I am very good with Zhu Fei, don"t worry. That young man who came from Su City likes Zhu Fei and keeps pursuing her, but Zhu Fei does not seem to have any interest in him. I can see everything clearly. Rest a.s.sured, I will not make a fuss. Feelings like these cannot be forced; everything depends only on Zhu Fei"s decision. If she chooses to stay, I will hold on with both hands. If she chooses to leave, I will say goodbye with my head held high."

Qin Feng did not know why, but upon seeing this old man, he wanted to talk about family.

His own father was about his age, but his disposition was very different. His father never cared about people, and when Qin Feng was just nine years old, he threw him into the mountainous wilderness where he was almost eaten alive by a hungry lone wolf. At the critical moment, fighting with all his strength, he killed the evil wolf and survived.

Hey, they were all fathers, but how come the gap was so big? Qin Feng envied Zhu Fei. Although her stepfather was certainly not very good, her real father"s love was hidden in the corners of her eyes, which could be seen, and could be guessed.

And Qin Feng was willing to continue to help Zhu Fei with this white lie. He just wanted to put Zhu Fangguo"s fragile heart at peace by being her fake boyfriend.

As for the future, Qin Feng had no time to think about it. He felt that, in any case, as long as he was good to Zhu Fei, even if they were more like brother and sister, the old man would be at ease.

A lot of things were like this. It seemed that there was no connection at first, but after a few rounds, things could get entangled together and were not so easy to pull apart.

"Child, in any case, I am sorry for Zhu Fei. I am not able to take care of her in this life. You should understand that, in my situation, I think resuming our relationship would be harmful to her. I have had a long life, but accomplished nothing. I am only proud of giving birth to such a good daughter, but I do not have the right to support her or recognize her. I can see at a glance that you are a good man and that you will definitely be a good husband and a good father. I give Zhu Fei to you. In any case, you have to promise me to take good care of her. Okay?"

Zhu Fangguo looked at Qin Feng sincerely. This was a father"s instinctive plea. He was unable to speak in front of Zhu Fei and could only pin his hopes and concern on Qin Feng. He knew that the boy was kind and Zhu Fei would be happy beside him.

The conversation was becoming a bit heavy for Qin Feng. Suddenly, he was at a loss. He put away his smile and looked at Zhu Fangguo hesitantly. Facing such high expectations, he really didn"t know how to reveal the truth. He could only continue to pretend. Even Qin Feng felt the pressure was becoming too much. "Rest a.s.sured, Uncle, I will certainly take good care of Zhu Fei."

"Ever since childhood, Zhu Fei..." Zhu Fangguo nodded his head in relief and began to chatter away. These past two days, he lay on his bed thinking about scenes from Zhu Fei"s childhood, which was also the best time of his life. Although those days were gone forever, his memories of her would remain in his mind forever. He could relive those memories every day. This gave him the strength to persist in life.

Halfway through the sentence, the sound of footsteps came through the door. Zhu Fangguo was afraid Zhu Fei would come in suddenly, so he quickly changed the subject, "Qin Feng, what are you usually busy with? The commanders must like you very much in your unit."

It was Zhu Fei. When she saw Qin Feng, she was a little surprised. She didn"t think he would come again. Zhou Liang"s appearance would certainly cause Qin Feng problems, but he really had nothing to do with it and was entirely free to not get involved.

In those two days, she had not heard from him either. Although his image would flash in Zhu Fei"s mind from time to time, she still forced herself not to take the initiative to contact him.

As for how she would explain to her father that he wasn"t really her boyfriend, Zhu Fei had not yet decided. She seldom visited her father"s ward in those two days, but she had been kept up to speed on his recovery by the nurse, and everything seemed fine. He was ready to be discharged soon.

"What are you doing here?"

Surprise flashed in Zhu Fei"s eyes, but immediately disappeared. She did not want her father to see something she didn"t want him to. She needed to keep up an appearance of being in love with Qin Feng.

Then she put her hand on Qin Feng"s shoulder and complained, "Did you forget to buy me ice-cream again?"

"Did I?"

Qin Feng"s face was momentarily blank, but he soon reacted, "Are you still under the weather? You should eat fewer cold things. When you recover, I"ll buy you as much ice-cream as you want."

"Humph, yeah right."

Zhu Fei rolled her eyes at Qin Feng and then looked at Zhu Fangguo, "Dad, how do you feel? The doctor says you"re fine. Will you be discharged tomorrow? I rented a house in Wanfangyuan so we can live together. I"ll take care of you."

"There"s no need to rent a house. I have a nice little flat of my own."

"The doors and windows of your rundown flat are rotting, there"s trash everywhere, there"s a strong draft coming in through the cracks in the beams, and there is no light at all. It is not a place for people to live. Don"t be stubborn. Just listen to me."

"We can move there, but only if Qin Feng will live there too so we two can talk. With him around, I won"t feel bored."

In order to ensure Qin Feng, the ideal son-in-law, stuck around, Zhu Fangguo decided to play his hand to sort out the chaos.

Just then, another figure appeared at the door.
