Chapter 520 - Redwood Gate [6]
[This chapter is dedicated to my wife. I thank her for her support. I believe that if it weren"t for her encouragement and support, I wouldn"t be working so hard, both at work and in writing.] Thank her, you"ve worked hard!]… ….
"Hu!"
Ji Feng slowly retracted his hand and could not help but let out a long breath. He slightly shook his head and snorted, "So troublesome …" I"m just afraid that in the end, you"ll end up trying to curry favor with me! "Ji Feng shook his head and walked out. He was startled as he discovered that the kid called Xiao Yuan Hui was still standing outside the door. He immediately raised his hand to check his watch and found that nearly forty minutes had pa.s.sed. This brat was still standing outside the door?
"Xiao Yuan Hui, why are you still standing here?" Ji Feng asked. The moment he finished speaking, he laughed, "My apologies, this is your home. My question has the intention of s.n.a.t.c.hing the owner away!"
"Big Brother Feng, dad and sister-in-law told me just now that you"re my cousin, and this is also your home …" Xiao Yuanhui immediately said. He scratched his head and shyly said, "Cousin, I didn"t know it was you just now. You"re really amazing!"
Although Ji Feng could treat the people from the Xiao family coldly, he could not treat this young man coldly. With grievances and debts being his responsibility, he would not drag the grudges of the previous generation onto the children below.
However, he did not realize that he had also placed himself in a high position, viewing his cousin as a child. In fact, this was a sign of maturity. More importantly, this proved that Ji Feng had high expectations of him.
Ji Feng finally revealed a smile for the first time after stepping into the Xiao family"s manor. He nodded slightly and said, "You"re not bad too."
Xiao Yuanhui shyly said, "Cousin, my father and aunt are in the west room. They said that when you came out, they would let you rest in the east room."
Ji Feng declined to comment and shook his head. "Forget it, I"ll go straight to the west room. You can go and busy yourself with your own matters!"
Xiao Yuanhui was not familiar with his cousin, so he didn"t dare to say much. He could only follow his cousin towards the west room.Ji Feng arrived at the west door, knocked on it, and walked in.
"Little Feng, how is it?!" When she saw Ji Feng enter, Xiao Sumei asked anxiously.
Ji Feng considered for a moment before replying, "The situation is not bad! However, because his condition is very different from his grandfather"s, because he is suffering from cancer, even if he is cured, his body will not be in a very good condition. However, there shouldn"t be any major problems.Swis.h.!.+
Xiao Sumei and Xiao Guoqing"s eyes lit up at the same time. Although Ji Feng spoke in a nonchalant manner, the content of his words made the two of them extremely happy. They didn"t need this old man to live to be a hundred years old. As long as he was safe and sound, they would be satisfied.
Ji Feng said, "Mom, it"s like this today. Let"s go back first. We"ll come back tomorrow!"
Xiao Sumei"s expression immediately changed, while Xiao Guoqing and the old woman also became nervous, especially the old woman. They hadn"t seen their daughter for more than ten years, and now that they had just met, their daughter actually wanted to leave?
"Su-mei, can"t you stay here?" The old lady couldn"t help but ask, "We"ll stay here today. Let Little Feng stay here too, okay?"
Seeing the hopeful look in her mother"s eyes, Xiao Sumei wanted to agree, but Ji Feng knew something was wrong. He immediately said: "Mom, the hotels in the city are still open. If we don"t stay, then we"ll have to pay for the room!"
Xiao Sumei hesitated. She didn"t know whether to leave or not.
Ji Feng frowned and said, "Mom, we made a deal earlier!"In his opinion, he would never stay here. No one wanted him to stay back then!
Furthermore, Ji Feng also knew that if he were to stay here tonight, his mother would definitely allow him to stay for the meal. As he continued to eat, he might end up eating something. Living in someone else"s house was indeed a form of friends.h.i.+p, right?
Would they really become a family after a while?Don"t even think about it!
Ji Feng could not help but snort in his heart. He wanted to use every single detail of his life to gradually improve his relations.h.i.+p with the Xiao family. He could agree to anything else, but he would never agree to anything.
It would have no effect on Old Xiao"s family, nor on his mother. According to the traditions of the countryside, if he was a member of the Ji Clan, then to the Old Xiao family, he was their grandson. Since he had the word "outsider" written on him, it meant that he was an outsider!It didn"t matter if he was an outsider, it didn"t matter if he was a outsider or an outsider. It was better if he didn"t create any problems for the Xiao family!
Ji Feng could not help but smile wryly in his heart. His mother had also started to play a gentle and loving game with him …
As for his mother, he could do anything he wanted! Regardless of how indulging or how wronged he was, Ji Feng was more than willing to do so. However, to these people of the Old Xiao family, Ji Feng would never suffer even the slightest grievance!
"Little Feng …" She felt her heart skip a beat, it seemed that it was impossible for her son to stay for the night. She understood her son"s personality very well, once her son"s expression became firm, it would not be easy to change him, not to mention the time and place they were in right now!"Mom, let"s go!" Ji Feng"s voice was not loud, but it also sounded very calm. However, no one could refute him.
The old woman immediately broke into tears, and held onto her daughter"s hand tightly. "Susu, look at this … Are you really going? "
Ji Feng felt a bit impatient in his heart. He took a deep breath and tried his best to calm himself down. In a deep voice, he said, "It"s not like you won"t come back even if you leave. Leave today, you will come back tomorrow!"The old woman was still crying as she choked with sobs, "Susu, it was your father who was too stubborn. I couldn"t stop him, and now you"ve been gone for more than ten years. You can"t leave now, otherwise, I"m afraid I"ll never see you again even if I die."
Ji Feng"s eyebrows creased deeper and deeper. He was getting more and more impatient, yet he had already said so. What had he done for himself long ago?!
However, it was now inconvenient for him to speak, so he could only silently look at his mother.Xiao Sumei hesitated for a moment, then said: "Little Feng, how about this, we"ll go back later. As long as we can get to the city before nightfall, how about this?"
Ji Feng saw that his mother really did not want to leave, so he could only helplessly nod his head and said, "Mom, if that"s the case, we must go back before 6 o"clock. Otherwise, we won"t be able to leave until it gets dark.""Good!" "Alright!" Xiao Sumei immediately nodded in agreement. It was already not easy to make her son yield to her.
Ji Feng lightly shook his head. With a sigh, he pushed open the door and walked out."Mother, Little Feng is a bit stubborn, please don"t take it to heart!" Seeing her son leave, Xiao Sumei couldn"t help but hold her mother"s hand as she spoke.
"How can you blame Little Feng, it"s all because of that dead old man. If he didn"t care so much about face back then, then he wouldn"t have been so selfish and caused today"s situation!" The old lady could not help but curse.
However, he knew that this matter was not all his father"s fault. His eldest brother, third brother and the rest were all responsible as well. They were more active than anyone else in mocking and ridiculing him in the past!
"Sumei, it"s not Little Feng"s fault. Even if it was me, I would still resent him …" Xiao Guoqing sighed softly. "Boss, what they did was indeed very excessive."
Xiao Sumei shook her head slightly and said, "Don"t talk about the past anymore. The reason why I"m here this time is to see mother and to see what father"s illness will do. As for other matters, there"s no need to mention them!"
Xiao Guoqing could not help but smile wryly. It was clear that the one who had the grudge was not only Little Feng, but his little sister, Susu Mei, also had a grudge in her heart. It was only because her parents were old that she kept that grudge in her heart and did not say it out loud.
"Cousin!" The moment Ji Feng stepped out of the door, he saw Xiao Yuanhui standing at the door waiting for him. "Cousin, there"s no meaning in staying here. Why don"t you come with me to my house to play?"
Ji Feng"s brows twitched as he asked, "What do you have to play with in your house?"
"It"s... it"s nothing..." Xiao Yuanhui couldn"t help but blush. In rural families, children often played with mud and slingshot, but in this winter, there wasn"t much fun.Ji Feng looked around and suddenly asked, "Does your house have a red painted wooden door?!"
"Hmm?!" Xiao Yuanhui was a little surprised, "Cousin, have you been to our house before?"
"Really?!" Ji Feng frowned as he asked."Yes, there is a red wooden door. However, most of the paint has fallen off, so I can"t tell what color it is anymore …" Xiao Yuanhui said with a strange expression, "Cousin, you can still tell that it"s a red wooden door. It"s really amazing!"
Ji Feng hesitated for a moment before saying, "Let"s go to your house to have a look!"
Xiao Yuan Hui was startled, but immediately nodded his head and said: "Then cousin, follow me!"
Ji Feng turned his head and shouted, "Xiao Ying, protect my mother well here. No matter who it is, if anyone wants to hurt my mother, kill them!"Xiao Yuanhui, who was walking in front, was so scared that his legs went weak and he almost fell to the ground.
However, Ji Feng didn"t notice his lack of manners, and recalled something else.
If he remembered correctly, within Ji Feng"s memory, there seemed to be some vague fragments that would occasionally appear in his mind. It seemed that he had lived in a place with a mahogany door for a while when he was young.
During that time, he seemed to be the only memory that hadn"t been bullied, but because he was still too young at the time and seemed to be before he could remember, this memory was always hazy, and he didn"t know where the memory came from.
However, now that he was here, he suddenly felt a familiar feeling. It was as if that scene … It was at Xiao Yuanhui"s home!If that was really the case, then this meant that the only person who didn"t humiliate him back then was perhaps Xiao Yuanhui"s father!
Looking at the situation today, Ji Feng"s thoughts were complicated!
The sixth message arrived.
