Chapter 373: 367. The highly emotionally intelligent Huo Feng! (14)

After April Fool’s Day passed, Zhu Dandan fell into several days of silence.

The usually talkative and cheerful Zhu Dandan suddenly stopped talking and laughing, a contrast that led Pu Sangzhi and Wen Miao to guess something... She might have broken up with Wang Chao!

Pu Sangzhi and Wen Miao didn’t dare to bring up this topic with Zhu Dandan either.

Because Zhu Dandan was normally talkative, if she didn’t initiate the conversation about this topic herself, it only meant she didn’t want to talk about it.

Pu Sangzhi and Wen Miao weren’t the type to force anyone into something uncomfortable.

Thus, regarding Zhu Dandan’s sudden silence, Pu Sangzhi and Wen Miao just observed and took note of it, but didn’t openly point it out.

Normally, Zhu Dandan and Wen Miao would split the Saturday into morning and afternoon sessions to tutor ten brothers.

However, as Friday approached, Zhu Dandan asked Pu Sangzhi for a leave of absence.

She said she wasn’t feeling well and didn’t really want to tutor the brothers that week, preferring to rest at home.

Pu Sangzhi could probably guess the real reason Zhu Dandan didn’t want to go, and didn’t feel it was right to insist, so she could only agree to her request.

Thus, for the half-day Zhu Dandan would be absent, Pu Sangzhi had to take her place to tutor the ten brothers.

Because this term, the ten brothers had all paid them for tutoring sessions.

In order to be responsible for them, Pu Sangzhi had to fulfill the obligations that she was supposed to undertake.

So on Saturday, Huo Feng took Pu Sangzhi to the secret base in the morning to tutor the ten brothers, and then brought her back in the afternoon to continue tutoring Lin Qianqian and himself.

It was another day of back-and-forth running.

Seeing Pu Sangzhi teach all day and constantly travel on the road, Huo Feng truly felt very distressed for her.

And that week, it wasn’t just Sunday, but Saturday too, that she had to run around like this.

And moreover...

Huo Feng also worried that Zhu Dandan might stop coming to teach the brothers due to relationship problems in the future?

If that were the case, wouldn’t all Zhu Dandan’s classes need to be taught by Pu Sangzhi from then on?

Huo Feng gradually realized that this was not a solution.

Pu Sangzhi was only one person; she couldn’t tutor so many people at the same time.

Therefore, he still needed to find another person with good grades to replace Pu Sangzhi.

On Saturday afternoon, Pu Sangzhi finished tutoring Lin Qianqian until four o’clock, and then let Lin Qianqian go home.

Firstly, because Pu Sangzhi indeed felt tired after teaching for the whole day.

Secondly, because Pu Sangzhi had promised to accompany Huo Feng to visit Chen Ruixiang’s mother.

...

At 4 o’clock, after Lin Qianqian went home, Pu Sangzhi sat on Huo Feng’s electric scooter, ready to visit Chen Ruixiang’s mother together with Huo Feng.

Because the last time Huo Feng visited his home, he was too unreasonable, causing trouble for Chen Ruixiang’s mother.

Therefore, a proper apology was needed.

Huo Feng rode the electric scooter, taking Pu Sangzhi for a ride around Tangxia Town, and bought two boxes of drinks and a bag of fruit as gifts for their visit, rushing towards Chen Ruixiang’s home energetically.

On the way, the two of them chatted briefly, discussing what to say and do after entering the home.

The very sociable Huo Feng imparted some knowledge about interpersonal communication to Pu Sangzhi, who listened quietly and learned a trick from him.

Shortly after, they arrived at Chen Mansion District in Tangxia, and found Chen Ruixiang’s home with ease.

Huo Feng parked the electric scooter at the entrance to Chen Ruixiang’s home, and both he and Pu Sangzhi got off the vehicle, he carrying two boxes of drinks and Pu Sangzhi carrying a bag of fruit.

The two of them made themselves at home, entering Chen Ruixiang’s house uninvited.

Although the cheating incident during the last exam was indeed Chen Ruixiang’s fault...

It was just Chen Ruixiang’s individual wrongdoing.

To punish Chen Ruixiang, Huo Feng also harassed his mother in the process, which was his lack of courtesy.

Huo Feng always aimed to ’be a civilized person,’ a principle he imposed upon himself.

Therefore, an apology was necessary, not for the sake of Chen Ruixiang, but for his mother.

The door to Chen Ruixiang’s home was always left open, for reasons unknown.

But this conveniently served Pu Sangzhi and Huo Feng, who didn’t wait for an invitation.

As soon as they entered the home, Pu Sangzhi greeted warmly with her sweet voice, "Auntie, we have come again."

Meanwhile, Chen Ruixiang’s mother, Wu Aidi, was the same as last time, sitting on a small stool, busy with automotive parts with a pair of gloves on her hands.

Wu Aidi looked up and suddenly saw Pu Sangzhi and Huo Feng appear before her; her expression changed to one of surprise, her first reaction being unwelcoming!

However, upon seeing the items Pu Sangzhi and Huo Feng were carrying, disdain appeared on her face... not understanding what their visit this time was for.

"Auntie, we’ve come today to apologize to you."

Since it was Huo Feng who had played the ’bad cop’ last time, it was still up to Pu Sangzhi to play the ’good cop’ this time.

Pu Sangzhi took the initiative to speak to Chen Ruixiang’s mother with a warm smile on her face, leading Huo Feng straight into the house, directly up to Wu Aidi.

"Auntie, you remember us, don’t you?"

Pu Sangzhi squatted down in front of Wu Aidi, and Huo Feng also squatted down behind her.

Since Wu Aidi was sitting on a low stool, facing the elders at eye level was also a matter of respect.

Wu Aidi certainly couldn’t forget the two of them, but indeed, their visit had left her somewhat confounded!

Wu Aidi couldn’t help but ask them, "What brings you here today..."

Pu Sangzhi spoke in as gentle a tone as possible, "Auntie, we were disrespectful on our last visit, causing you a lot of trouble, so today we have come to apologize."

"Oh..."

Wu Aidi was still somewhat slow to react.

Her gaze shifted from Pu Sangzhi to Huo Feng, and she couldn’t help but give Huo Feng an extra glance...

The one who had caused the most trouble during the last visit was Huo Feng.

Therefore, Wu Aidi actually wanted to gauge Huo Feng’s attitude.

This time, Huo Feng had shed his previously aggressive demeanor, revealing a very sunny smile as he said to Wu Aidi, "Auntie, I’m sorry for frightening you last time, I feel very guilty. I’m really sorry about the special circumstances last time... We’ve specially come today to offer our apologies, I never act like that towards my elders, it was definitely an accident!"

When Huo Feng spoke nicely, his whole being exuded a likable charisma.

So seeing him suddenly so easy to talk to, Wu Aidi naturally couldn’t keep a grim face and quickly nodded to Huo Feng, "Well, you don’t need to be so formal. I don’t really know what to do with you here... Our family doesn’t have much to offer guests..."

"There’s no need to host us."

Huo Feng continued with a smile, "We’ve come to offer our apologies, not to be hosted by you. You mustn’t be polite with me, I feel so guilty for how I behaved last time!"

"Child, you shouldn’t talk like that..."

Wu Aidi was flattered by Huo Feng’s sweet words, feeling quite embarrassed, "About last time, I also asked our Ruixiang, and he has told me everything. So it was our Ruixiang who was in the wrong first, Auntie can’t blame you. Let’s just let bygones be bygones, don’t take it to heart, take all those things back with you, I really don’t blame you."

Wu Aidi waved her hand politely, urging them to take their gifts away.

After all, accepting these gifts made her feel embarrassed, especially since it was her own son, Chen Ruixiang, who was at fault first.

"Auntie, you must accept the gifts. I damaged so much of your property last time and made you go through so much effort to fix things; I really can’t rest easy if you don’t accept these gifts."

Huo Feng touched his chest, a picture of sincerity, "I was actually planning to come over and work for you for half a day to express my guilt. But I’m so busy, with tutoring sessions on the weekends, so I don’t have the time to come help you. You definitely need to accept these gifts, it’ll show that you’ve forgiven me."

"Ah..."

Wu Aidi was somewhat flustered by Huo Feng’s speech, unsure of how to refuse.

Huo Feng really had a way with words...

Especially when he spoke like this, his whole persona had an air of someone who’d been around the block.

Pu Sangzhi listened quietly to Huo Feng’s words, observing his expression as he spoke...

As she watched, the corners of her lips would unconsciously curve upwards.

She felt that Huo Feng really could give people a sense of security.

From the emotional intelligence he displayed when managing human relationships, she felt reassured enough to feel safe!

Pu Sangzhi thought that with Huo Feng around in the future, perhaps she would never offend anyone again.

"Mom..."

Just then, Chen Ruixiang suddenly came down from upstairs, unexpectedly running into Pu Sangzhi and Huo Feng.

His face showed surprise, as he initially felt alarmed...

But after recalling that he hadn’t wronged Huo Feng recently, he adjusted his attitude and still stepped forward.

"Hello..."

Chen Ruixiang greeted them both timidly, needing a lot of Courage to speak up and ask, "What brings you here?"

Huo Feng replied bluntly, "We’ve come to see your mom."
