“Thank you, Uncle. I will.” Yin Tao looked at the gentle and kind middle-aged man in front of her and felt that he was easier to get along with than Feng Jing. However, Feng Jing’s mother didn’t say a word and her eyes were cold.
In Yin Tao’s opinion, Feng Jing’s appearance was more similar to his father’s, but his cold and serious personality was inherited from his mother.
The dinner officially began after Grandpa Feng took his seat.
Fu Wen’s personality was very lively and amused Grandpa Feng several times during the meal. Feng Jing introduced others to Yin Tao. Other than Secretary Yan, whom she had met before, there were also a few senior people who worked in the Feng family.
Feng Jing did not have many relatives. Other than his parents, he only had his grandfather and auntie.
Yin Tao heard the conversation between Fu Wen and Grandpa Feng and roughly knew that Fu Wen had grown up in the Feng family.
Fu Wen’s parents were overseas all year round. Fu Wen had been relatively close to Feng Jing’s mother when he was young, so he had stayed in the Feng family for a longer time. Coincidentally, Old Master Feng liked children, so Fu Wen had grown up beside him.
However, what puzzled Yin Tao was that Feng Jing’s mother’s attitude towards Fu Wen was more like that of a mother and son.
For some reason, Feng Jing’s mother did not talk to Feng Jing during the meal. Instead, she piled Fu Wen’s plate with food a few times and asked a lot of questions about Fu Wen’s school.
Even if Fu Wen was younger than Feng Jing, Yin Tao still felt that Feng Jing’s mother’s actions were a little inappropriate. She was obviously cold to Feng Jing, and even an outsider like Yin Tao could clearly feel it.
However, Yin Tao didn’t dare comment on this. She only silently ate the food that Feng Jing and Lin Jia had served her.
Yin Tao didn’t know what had gotten into the two of them, but they kept piling food onto her plate. Even Grandpa Feng had noticed Lin Jia and Feng Jing’s overly enthusiastic actions.
“Xiaolin, I heard from your grandfather that he’s shortlisted several girls for you. He seems to be planning for you to marry the girl from the Xia family? I remember that girl. Her temper is a little hot, but she’s quite pretty.” Grandpa Feng couldn’t help but ask when he saw that Lin Jia had obviously been solicitous to Yin Tao.
“It’s hard to say. Just like you, my grandfather is always worried about the marriage of us juniors.”
Lin Jia smiled awkwardly and inadvertently glanced at Yin Tao. He said to Old Master Feng, “Grandpa, Feng Jing’s marriage is much harder than mine. You probably can’t help but worry.”
Seeing Lin Jia’s self-assured response, Old Master Feng felt that his grandson was a little slow compared to him. He shook his head and said, “It still depends on you young people. I’ve been anxious for so many years. He would have been married long ago if it helped that I was anxious.”
“Grandfather, if you leave it to Feng Jing, I’m afraid he will die alone…”
Before Lin Jia could finish speaking, Feng Jing stuffed a slice of bony beef into his mouth.
Feng Jing said with a long face, “Can you just shut up and eat?”
Yin Tao was amused by Feng Jing’s actions. She was used to seeing Lin Jia and Feng Jing bickering, but she didn’t expect the hostility between the two of them to be even stronger today.
“Brother Jia, I’m really envious of your relationship with my brother. I think the two of you should live together. Anyway, it’s been so many years. The pot shouldn’t be calling the kettle black.” Fu Wen chuckled at the side, but he was shocked when Feng Jing and Lin Jia both said “shut up” at the same time.
“I told you that the two of you have a tacit understanding…” Fu Wen muttered softly. Lin Jia and Feng Jing were visibly upset, but the others were amused.
This was the first time Yin Tao had eaten so much. She had no choice but to finish the pile of food on her plate as she was embarrassed to waste food.
Feng Jing’s parents went back to rest after the dinner. Grandpa Feng asked Feng Jing and Lin Jia to play chess while Feng Ya and Secretary Yan showed Xiao Tao around the garden.
Yin Tao was already full, so she didn’t refuse. She followed behind Feng Ya and Secretary Yan and strolled around the Feng family’s garden.
“Sister Xiaotao!”
Yin Tao stopped and turned around. It was Fu Wen, whom she had just seen at the dinner table.
“Why aren’t you playing chess with Grandpa Feng and the others?”
Fu Wen shrugged his shoulders awkwardly and complained to Yin Tao, “You’ve never seen them play chess before. They can make you cry. My IQis not on the same level as theirs. I can’t be bothered to embarrass myself.”
Yin Tao was amused by Fu Wen. Compared to Feng Jing, his cousin was a chatterbox..
