Chapter 174: Chapter 124 Home_2

Zhao Qigao finally breathed a heavy sigh of relief after hearing this and his expression returned to normal. He stepped forward to shake hands with Chen Feng, smiling, "I was really startled just now. You should know, Mengting is considered the goddess by all the boys in our class. If she really had a boyfriend, all of us guys would be crying."

"Haha, that’s true. Take a seat, don’t just stand there."

"Alright." Zhao Qigao was about to sit next to Wu Mengting.

However, Wu Mengting gave him a displeased look and said, "Go sit on the opposite side. It’s too crowded here."

Zhao Qigao smiled awkwardly and obediently took a seat next to Chen Feng.

"Brother Chen, how did you get to know Mengting?" Zhao Qigao curiously sized up Chen Feng.

Chen Feng was quite handsome, and he had lost five to six pounds because of a month-long trip which made him look even more dashing than before.

But given his age, Zhao Qigao was initially perplexed but did not suspect him to be Wu Mengting’s boyfriend.

"Why are you asking so many questions?"

Chen Feng hadn’t spoken yet, but Wu Mengting was already somewhat annoyed.

"I’m just simply curious. You guys aren’t colleagues or fellow villagers, are you?"

Chen Feng replied, "We are from the same hometown. I’m from Lin Nan County. We met by chance when her car broke down, and I happened to be driving by and helped her out."

"Oh, that’s how it is. Brother Chen, by your looks, you seem to be a businessman, right?"

"I’m not a businessman. I’m a stock trader."

"Stock trading, eh? I know quite a few stock traders. Back in 2014, some of my relatives made a lot of money from it and bought houses in Beijing."

Zhao Qigao was quite talkative, and it didn’t take long before he seemed to be getting along famously with Chen Feng.

Actually, with this kid’s eloquence and emotional intelligence, it’d be a shame if he didn’t go into business.

The two chatted for a few minutes before Wu Mengting, who was almost done eating, took out a tissue to wipe her mouth and said, "Alright, that’s about enough. Let’s get going."

"Okay, okay. Let’s head home early; it’ll be dark by the time we get to Lu City."

Zhao Qigao quickly agreed, and naturally, Chen Feng had no objections.

Thus, the three of them each started their cars and set off.

Zhao Qigao suavely pressed his BMW car key, the unlock light flashed, revealing a BMW X5. It wasn’t very expensive, but to most people, it was considered a luxury car.

No wonder he looked somewhat proud and smug when he opened his car door and glanced over at Chen Feng.

Chen Feng’s Buick Envision definitely couldn’t compare.

Zhao Qigao was the first to start his car, paused beside the other two cars, rolled down his window, gestured to them, and then loudly said, "I’ll lead the way."

After saying this, he drove off, his car was full of energy and seemed very steady.

Chen Feng initially had a good impression of this kid, but the deliberate show-off and smugness just wiped it clean.

Chen Feng then followed, with Wu Mengting trailing last.

After about another three hours, they finally arrived in the downtown area of Lu City, where it was already past 7 PM, and it had gotten dark.

Chen Feng messaged Wu Mengting on WeChat and then sped off on the highway.

Another hour past, and Chen Feng finally arrived at Qingpu Town in Lin Nan County.

The familiar streets, the familiar convenience store, the familiar home.

"Uncle! Uncle is back!"

"Uncle! Uncle!"

Chen Feng parked his car in front of his house and rolled down the window. Two of his nieces spotted him and quickly ran over.

Chen Feng was also happy as he got out of the car and crouched to hug them.

But before he could enjoy the moment for too long, the two nieces began asking for gifts.

"Uncle, where’s my gift?"

"Uncle, did you buy me a Barbie doll?"

At this point, their grandma Zhao Xiaolan came out from the store, chiding the two little granddaughters with a smile, "All you think about are gifts. Come inside! Inside!"

Chen Feng patted the two little nieces on the head, smiling, "There are gifts, in the trunk. Let’s go get them together."

The two little girls immediately squealed in excitement and ran to the trunk to get their gifts.

Chen Feng opened the trunk and began carrying bags big and small into the house.

While his mother Zhao Xiaolan complained about Chen Feng spending recklessly, she also happily helped carry things.

Then, his sister-in-law Li Guihong came out too.

Chen Feng casually asked about his dad and brother, who he was told hadn’t come back yet from the car detailing shop.

Chen Feng was a bit upset, "What are they still doing there at this time? There shouldn’t be much business now, right?"

"Their mother Zhao Xiaolan responded, "There’s still business to be had. That place is right by the highway, there are quite a few cars even in the middle of the night, let alone now."

"They don’t both need to be there, do they?"

"The workers have all gone home, letting them work overtime would require paying extra. Your brother and your dad just decided to cover the shift themselves. It’s fine if they make more money and come home later."

Chen Feng became even more displeased when he heard this, "Making money is important, but they shouldn’t keep working overtime like this; what if it ruins their health?"

"Alright, alright, they know what they’re doing. They should be back soon."

Zhao Xiaolan’s nonchalant attitude left Chen Feng speechless.

He was now suffering from a terminal illness and understood even more the importance of health; especially it concerned his dad.

Chen Feng had financed the shop not with the intention for his dad to work late every night and wear himself out. He definitely needed to talk about this.

After putting away the items, his dad and brother indeed came back together. Looking at the time, it was now 8:20 PM.
