Chapter 798: The Story of Ling and Heng (61)
Li Nanheng said, “Since Mrs. Feng is so kind, if I still refuse, it will be rude of me, but we can’t go back to the base too late and can’t stay for too long. So it may be a bit haste if we have dinner together today.”
“It’s okay. It won’t take you much time. Let’s just eat something nearby. My mother is tired and also wants to thank the little brother who helped her take the bag back. Qin Qiu smiled and then looked at Feng Ling who remained deadpan. “Little brother, let’s have dinner together.”
Since Boss Li had already agreed, Feng Ling certainly had no reason to refuse.
She nodded silently without saying anything.
The old woman had been looking at Feng Ling’s face and seemed to have something to say. This boy really looked like Qin Qiu when she was young.
When Qin Qiu’s second daughter was born, everyone said that her eldest daughter, Feng Mingzhu, was like her father, while the second daughter was like her mother.
How could there be two people in the world who look so alike?
But the child’s age was not right, nor was his s.e.x… he couldn’t be her granddaughter.
The old woman didn’t dare to say much, but she couldn’t hide her excitement when she saw the child in front of her.
They briefly explained to the police about what happened and left the police station.
Since the old woman was old and couldn’t walk too far and there were a few good restaurants nearby, they simply went to a Michelin restaurant nearby.
After sitting down, Mrs. Feng answered a call and her eyes fell on Feng Ling’s face again. She looked at her with a smile. “Little brother, just order whatever you want to eat. Don’t be too polite.”
Feng Ling didn’t smile. She hadn’t experienced such an occasion of sitting with strangers for dinner. She just nodded to Mrs. Feng and said lightly, “Thank you. I don’t need to eat much.”
“Lad, you don’t have to be so polite to me. You helped us get the bag back that contains something as important as my life to me. Such a meal is not enough to express my grat.i.tude to you. Do not be polite to us.” The old woman also smiled and talked, looking at Feng Ling tenderly and lovingly, and then she sighed and said, “Alas, I find you’re quite congenial to me. I was very fond of you at the first sight of you. But how old are you? Why did you enter XI Base such a young age? Although I know that many people tried to be admitted but failed, I guess it must be very hard.”
“Is it hard?” Nanheng suddenly asked Feng Ling meaningfully at this moment and his voice was very light.
Feng Ling. “It’s not hard. Life at the base is very suitable for me. Everyone has a life they like. At least I am very satisfied with my life now.”
Hearing such an answer, Nanheng remained deadpan but slightly curved the corners of his lips.
A waiter of the restaurant came over to take their order, but Nanheng was not interested in ordering food. Mrs. Feng and the old lady also insisted on Feng Ling ordering first. Feng Ling chose two light vegetarian dishes on the menu and then placed the menu in front of Mrs. Feng and the old lady.
Seeing the two dishes ordered by Feng Ling, the old lady smiled and said, “Qin Qiu, just like you, this kid also likes to eat light vegetarian food.”
“Yes.” Qin Qiu knew what her mother meant.
This boy was really congenial to them, he not only looked like her, but he also had a similar taste.
He inevitably reminded her of the poor child who had fallen into the sea.
Qin Qiu didn’t want to talk about these sad things in front of outsiders, so her face had shown no emotion and she just said with a smile, “Mr. Li, we’ve never seen each other before, but I can recognize you. I think you know why.”
Li Nanheng certainly didn’t know that Feng Mingzhu had secretly taken a photo of him with her cell phone, but he could guess that it was all because of Feng Mingzhu.
He didn’t reply but just smiled politely to Mrs. Feng. When the old lady pushed the menu to him again, he looked down, picked two dishes, and ordered some soup and plain food suitable for women.
Feng Ling wasn’t very talkative. She was usually very quiet, and now she was even quieter than usual.
Firstly, Mrs. Feng wanted to express her grat.i.tude, and secondly, she wanted to know what kind of person Li Nanheng was.
Through a day of contact with him, the negative thoughts about this Young Master Li in her heart gradually disappeared.
Although she never planned to marry her younger daughter who had been dead for many years to Li Nanheng, not to mention in a ridiculous way like marrying her daughter’s clothes to him, she couldn’t help appreciating a young man like Li Nanheng.
If the Li family and the Feng family still had this idea, and if Li Nanheng was really willing to recognize her young daughter who was dead for many years as his wife, at least in this sense, it was like her daughter had always existed in the hearts of many people and hadn’t disappeared.
If she couldn’t make them give up on this idea, Qin Qiu thought, maybe she would not hysterically refuse again.
If her second daughter was still alive, she would surely like such a man when she saw him.
Qin Qiu answered a phone again, then stood up and looked outside. She then smiled in a certain direction outside and said, “Yes, here, come in.”
“Who is it? Is Shu Ke here?” The old woman turned to Qin Qiu.
Qin Qiu nodded with a smile and then explained to Nanheng and Feng Ling, “Today I accompanied my mother to walk around. It happened that my little niece had just returned from studying in the UK the other day and came back to Los Angeles today. We made an appointment to meet here, but no one expected the robbery, so I asked my niece to come over and eat something with us together.”
The old woman said aside, “Oh, Shu Ke talks too much and is very noisy. Just let her wait at home. Why did you ask her to come here?”
Mrs. Feng smiled. “She has been studying in the UK for so long and you haven’t seen her in two or three years. Now she finally took the time to come back and see you. Aren’t you glad that Shu Ke is filial to you? How can you complain about that?”
At this time, the door of the restaurant opened, and a young girl who looked pretty and fas.h.i.+onable walked in quickly. She was wearing a baseball cap, a light-colored baseball uniform, and a pair of white sneakers. Putting a backpack on one shoulder, she looked so energetic.
“Grandma, Aunt, why are you here for dinner?” Qin Shuke said while sitting next to Qin Qiu and glancing at Feng Ling and Nanheng across the table.
