Chapter 379: Jinyu Acting Shy
"No, her surname is Xi, but the word "Feng" in her name." Feng Qin was not excited. After all, their father"s surname was indeed Xi, so she would not instinctively refute Feng Lun"s words.
"I haven"t introduced her to Third Uncle yet. This is Sister Fengling, her full name is Xi Fengling. This is Yan Jinyu."
She introduced them, "This is my third uncle."
Yan Jinyu smiled and nodded.
Xi Fengling smiled and nodded. "Third Mr. Feng."
This form of address was a little strange at first, but when he a.n.a.lyzed it again, there seemed to be nothing wrong with it.
He was an elder, so she couldn"t call him Third Young Master Feng.
Calling him Third Master along with the servants of the Feng Family?
Feng Lun wasn"t worthy to make them call her Third Master.
However, Feng Lun was observing their att.i.tude towards him, especially Yan Jinyu"s att.i.tude.
However, regardless of Xi Fengling or Yan Jinyu, their expressions hadn"t changed much since he appeared. They didn"t have much of a reaction either when Feng Qin introduced him to them.
Did they really not show their emotions, or did they really not know his background?
With doubts in his heart, Feng Lun looked at Yan Jinyu, "Yan Jinyu? The eldest daughter of the Yan Family in North City?"
Yan Jinyu blinked and asked curiously, "Third Mr. Feng knows me?"
She smiled innocently.
She even had the cheekiness of an 18-year-old girl.
"Last year, the news that Master Nine personally found his fiancée, who had been missing for 16 years, spread like wildfire. I also heard a lot of rumors in Cloud City. Eldest Miss Yan"s name is well-known."
"I see."
"Brother Nine is famous, and my reputation has indeed become much more resounding because of him. However, there are really not many people like Third Mr. Feng who can recognize me when he hears my name."
"I"m just guessing. I"m not sure," Feng Lun said.
"I didn"t know that Qin"er"s friend is Eldest Miss Yan and I"ve been lacking in hospitality these few days. I hope Eldest Miss Yan doesn"t take it to heart."
"Third Mr. Feng, you"re being too polite. Feng Qin and I are friends. I"m also staying in the Feng Family as her friend this time. I"m not using the ident.i.ty of the eldest daughter of the Yan Family."
"Besides, the news that I"ve broken ties with the Yan Family has been on the Internet for a while. I"m sure Third Mr. Feng has already heard about it. I"m no longer the eldest daughter of the Yan Family. I"m just an ordinary high school graduate who has cut ties with her family. Third Mr. Feng, you don"t have to be so polite."
"…" Everyone, including Xi Fengling.
"Eldest Miss Yan, you must be joking. Who doesn"t know that Master Nine protects you, his fiancée, like a priceless treasure? With Master Nine as your backer, who dares to look down on you at all?" Feng Lun said expressionlessly.
Yan Jinyu held her face and said shyly, "Huh? Is that what the rumors say? I thought that only I knew how well Brother Nine treated me. How embarra.s.sing."
"…" Xi Fengling
"…" The others.
"However, Third Mr. Feng is right. With Brother Nine as my backer, no one dares to look down on me."
She smiled shyly again. "But since you"re Feng Qin"s third uncle, you don"t have to flatter me like others."
"However, your Feng Family"s hospitality was indeed a little lacking. There was nothing in the room other than a bed when you arranged a guest room. There wasn"t even a television in the living room, and there was pitifully little furniture. If not for this old sofa, I"m afraid I would have sat on the ground."
"However, for the sake of Feng Qin, I won"t hold it against you. I won"t tell Brother Nine that I was neglected while I was a guest in the Feng Family. Third Mr. Feng, you can rest a.s.sured. You don"t have to worry that Brother Nine will help me teach the Feng Family a lesson."
She looked like a spoiled young lady. She was even the kind of young lady who was arrogant, shy, and kind at the same time.
Feng Lun almost couldn"t maintain his expression for a moment.
Xi Fengling almost burst out laughing.
Feng Qin and Feng Xu no longer knew how to describe their current feelings.
Not to mention Feng Qin, even Feng Xu"s lips twitched for a moment.
This action was completely inconsistent with his temperament. He had never lost his composure like this.
"…Thank you, Eldest Miss Yan." Feng Lun almost gritted his teeth.
"The Feng Family has indeed neglected you. I"ll tell the butler tomorrow and get him to buy something for Qin"er"s courtyard. Speaking of which, Qin"er rarely comes back. Even if she comes back occasionally, she rarely stays here. That"s why the decorations are so simple."
"Is that so?" Yan Jinyu smiled at him. "But why did I hear that Feng Qin lived in this courtyard since she was young?"
Feng Lun"s eyes darkened.
However, Yan Jinyu didn"t give him a chance to speak. She continued, "Oh, right. We"ve been going to Auntie"s courtyard to eat breakfast these few days."
"The first day we went over, one of the two servants in Auntie"s courtyard was sitting on a stool in the courtyard eating melon seeds and sunbathing. The other servant wasn"t up yet. Auntie was making breakfast alone in the kitchen."
"I used to live in an orphanage and don"t know how the servants of big families do things. However, I"ve never seen the servants do things like this since I lived with Brother Nine."
"That"s not all. The servant who was munching on melon seeds even said that Fengqin and I relied on our bodies to make a living because Meimei and I are beautiful. Not to mention that we"re not, even if we are, which servant who knows the rules speaks to a guest like this?"
"Of course, Feng Qin taught them a lesson on the spot because they didn"t know the rules. However, according to Feng Qin, such things have often happened in the past. Feng Qin didn"t say it because Old Madam Feng personally arranged for the two servants to Auntie, so she kept it to herself."
"Unexpectedly, those two servants didn"t learn their lesson. They still haven"t repented after scolding them so many times."
"It was only secondary that she spoke rudely to us back then. Meimei prepared a ginseng for Auntie as a greeting gift. As soon as the gift was handed to Auntie, the servant rushed over and s.n.a.t.c.hed the gift away. She said that since Meimei shouldn"t give such a valuable thing to Auntie, she should give it to Old Madam Feng for safekeeping."
"She s.n.a.t.c.hed something from her mistress"s hands in front of us. I wondered how she bullies Auntie in private."
"I couldn"t stand it at that time, so I taught that servant a lesson. They became much more obedient when I went to Auntie"s courtyard to have breakfast later."
"But the servants of the Feng Family are too unruly."
"Or did the Feng Family deliberately send two such unruly servants to take care of Auntie so that they could bully Auntie when Feng Qin wasn"t home?"
"There"s actually such a thing!" Feng Xu was furious.
Not to mention others, this was the first time Feng Qin had seen Feng Xu angry.
Feng Lun first glanced at Feng Qin coldly before saying to Yan Jinyu, "This is indeed the Feng Family"s negligence. I didn"t expect the Feng Family to have such unruly servants."
"Qin"er, why didn"t you tell us that the servants are insensible?"
Feng Qin didn"t know what Yan Jinyu planned to do by saying all this now, but she wouldn"t be a burden at this time.
Following Yan Jinyu"s words, she lowered her head and said aggrievedly, "They were sent by Grandmother to take care of Mom. Mom and I were brought back to the Feng Family midway. Although we treat everyone as family on the surface, Mom and I actually still feel that we"re outsiders. We don"t want to trouble the Feng Family too much and don"t want to let down Grandmother"s good intentions, so we never said anything."
"Anyway, other than being a little lazy, they let Mom do everything herself. Their mouths are also rather stinky. Other than always saying nasty words to Mom and me, they didn"t make too much of a mistake. At least, they didn"t dare to slap us directly in the face. Although they wanted to do it a few times, they only retracted their hands because Mom and I used Grandmother to scare them."
These words were undoubtedly adding fuel to the fire.
