The Atypical Young Lady Has Returned - Chapter 372

Chapter 372: Meeting Feng Xiangxiang

Seeing that they were playing the game enthusiastically, she realized that they were not lying.

However, Feng Qin still felt very embarrassed.

“Are you guys done with this round? If you’re done, let’s go to my mother’s courtyard for breakfast. My mother knows that I have friends coming over, so she asked me to bring you two over for breakfast. She made it herself.”

After saying that, her gaze landed on Xi Fengling’s face.

Feng Qin looked a little nervous.

Xi Fengling’s expression didn’t change. Only Yan Jinyu saw that her hand that was playing games paused.

She had made a mistake in the game.

At their level, they rarely made mistakes in games.

“Soon. It’ll end in about two minutes,” Yan Jinyu said with a smile. “On the other hand, will we disturb Auntie’s rest if we go over early in the morning?”

Feng Qin said that she woke up late, but it was actually only eight o’clock.

Yan Jinyu and Xi Fengling woke up at six. The two of them had been playing games for a long time. Feng Qin only felt that she had woken up late when she saw the two of them waiting for her downstairs.

“No, no. My mother doesn’t sleep much. She usually wakes up around six. There’s no one else in her courtyard other than two servants who take care of her meals and daily needs. She can’t be happier if we go over. Why would we disturb her?”

There were two servants taking care of her?

Yan Jinyu’s eyes twitched.

Looking at Feng Qin’s treatment in the Feng Family and how Feng Qin had said more than once that the mother and daughter were in a difficult situation in the Feng Family, how could the servants who were in charge of Feng Xiangxiang’s meals and living really take care of her?

They said they were taking care of her, but they were, in fact, monitoring her.

“That’s good. Why don’t we prepare to go out and play before visiting Auntie?”

“By the way, Meimei, didn’t you bring a gift for Auntie? Go upstairs and get it. Give me your phone.”

Xi Fengling looked at her in surprise. She was about to ask her how she knew, but she quickly understood.

With Beauty Yu’s intelligence and understanding of her, it didn’t seem strange that she would guess it.

Before she could reply, the phone was in Beauty Yu’s hand. She operated both phones at the same time. She operated both phones one-handedly and was still playing very well.

Xi Fengling didn’t have much of a reaction to that, but Feng Qin, who had walked over, was already stunned.

“I’ll go upstairs then. Wait for me for a while.”

“Yes, yes, yes.” Feng Qin didn’t even hear what she said. Her eyes were staring at Yan Jinyu’s fingers that were controlling the two phones.

It was obvious how shocked she was.

After the game ended, Yan Jinyu pressed exit at the same time and blacked out the two phones. She then looked up and saw Feng Qin standing there staring at her.

“Jinyu, y-you’re a gaming expert? You’re playing so well that you can even catch up to those professional eSports players.” No, it should be said that even eSports players might not be able to compare to her.

Not everyone could operate two accounts at the same time and play so well.

Yan Jinyu smiled. “You’re flattering me.”

“I’m not good at anything else except games.”

Hearing that, Feng Qin’s lips twitched.

Her answer wasn’t true. Feng Qin had heard her form teacher say with her own ears that it was not a problem for her to be the top science student in North City.

How could she call that not good at anything else?

She was simply a genius!

“You’re being humble.”

“Did you sleep well last night?”

Yan Jinyu placed her phone in her small sling bag and stood up.

She was wearing a light green dress that went past her knees today. It was also a very demure style. She had a pair of white canvas shoes on her feet. Her long hair was down, and she looked very fresh.

“Very good. I don’t have a habit of recognizing beds.”

“That’s good.”

“Meimei and I are going out for a walk later. Do you have anything else to do?” Since she came with the excuse of a graduation trip, she naturally couldn’t keep staying here forever.

Besides, they couldn’t find anything even if they stayed here.

“No, no. I’ll go out with you guys. Speaking of which, I haven’t shopped for a long time…”

Feng Qin suddenly paused. How could she have forgotten that she was a slightly famous celebrity? It shouldn’t be a problem for her to go shopping, right?

Yan Jinyu saw her concerns and chuckled, “It’s fine. If it’s not convenient for you, Meimei and I can go out by ourselves.”

“Of course, you don’t have to worry if you want to join us. If you’re really recognized, Meimei and I can run very fast. We can bring you along when we run and not let you be surrounded by fans.”

She looked up at Xi Fengling, who was coming down the stairs, and said in a half-joking tone, “Even if Meimei is wearing 10-centimeter high heels, she can still run very fast.”

Probably because she wanted to see Feng Xiangxiang, Xi Fengling wasn’t dressed too ostentatiously today.

It was not the bright colors that she usually liked. It was a white lady’s cotton sleeveless blouse with a checkered skirt. The skirt went past her knees and she had a pair of light-colored high heels on her feet.

She was dressed very demurely, but Xi Fengling’s aura was too outstanding. Her pure attire also exuded a charming and seductive aura.

“Beauty Yu, is my attire okay? Do I look rude?”

That was how she was dressed earlier, but she only asked now.

Yan Jinyu knew that she was nervous.

“Very good. You aren’t rude either. Don’t worry.”

“Sister Fengling is beautiful. You look good no matter what. My mother doesn’t have so many rules. You won’t be rude. Don’t be too nervous…”

Yes, nervous…

Why did she feel that Sister Fengling seemed a little nervous?

A 24-year-old woman who had made a name for herself in the capital alone was not nervous when facing those wealthy young masters and descendants of influential families. However, she was nervous when she wanted to see her mother.

Why?

Looking again, Xi Fengling seemed no different from usual.

Hence, Feng Qin felt that perhaps she was thinking too much. Why would Sister Fengling be nervous about this?

Her gaze landed on the gift box Xi Fengling was hugging.

The gift box was about 10 centimeters wide and 30 centimeters long. The packaging was very exquisite. It was obvious that it was not a simple gift.

“Sister Fengling, you’re too polite. You even specially brought a gift for my mother. I’m actually a little embarrassed now.”

“It’s not anything expensive. Just treat it as a greeting gift for Auntie.” As she spoke, she added, “Beauty Yu and I have already disturbed you by coming to the Feng Family to stay. How can we come empty-handed?”

Feng Qin wanted to say something more, but Yan Jinyu interrupted, “Didn’t you say you wanted to go for breakfast? Let’s go. I’m a little hungry.”

***

Feng Xiangxiang’s courtyard was behind Feng Qin’s courtyard. It was not far, but it was not close either. They would have to walk for about 20 minutes.

It was a very quiet courtyard.

Rather than calling it secluded, it was more appropriate to call it desolate.

The door was not closed, so Feng Qin led the two of them in.

There were many flowers and plants in the courtyard, as well as some vegetables. There were a few shelves in the courtyard, and there were some medicinal herbs on them. They should have been picked in the courtyard.

A servant brought a chair to the courtyard and sat in the sun while munching on melon seeds.

The other servant was nowhere to be seen. It was unknown if she had gone out or not.

Of course, Feng Qin knew very well that the servant would not be helping in the kitchen.

Hearing the commotion, the servant who was sitting and munching on melon seeds looked up at them. She was a woman in her thirties, but her words were very sharp. “No wonder I heard the magpies calling early in the morning[ 1. Magpie calling is a good omen in Chinese culture]. So it’s Missy!”

Her gaze moved to Yan Jinyu and Xi Fengling, who were half a step behind Fengqin. Perhaps it was because she saw their looks, a hint of jealousy flashed past her eyes. “Yo, there are still guests! How rare. This should be your first time bringing friends back, right?”

“They’re really two beautiful girls. They’re not inferior to Missy at all. Could it be that they also rely on their faces and… like Missy?”

Even if she didn’t say it out loud, they knew what she was about to say.

Didn’t she just want to say that they relied on their bodies for a living?

Feng Qin’s expression was ugly. She was angry. “Do you know what you’re talking about!”

“Of…”

Before the servant could finish speaking, Feng Qin quickly walked over and slapped her.

The plate of melon seeds in her hand fell to the ground too. They were all scattered.

She glared at Feng Qin angrily. “How dare you hit me!”

“So what if I hit you? No matter how much my mother and I don’t get favored in the Feng Family, we are still your mistresses. You better remember this! Why? Do you still want to fight me?”

“Hit me if you have the guts. Hit me in the face. Don’t stand on ceremony!”

The servant was shocked when Feng Qin shoved her face over and quickly retracted her hand.

The Feng Family raised Feng Qin in exchange for benefits.

If she slapped Feng Qin in the face now, her good days would be over!

However, Feng Qin took the opportunity to slap her again. “You’re so unruly! Who taught you to talk to your mistress like this? Who taught you to talk to your guests like this?”

“I brought these two friends back after exchanging greetings with my grandparents. They even had a meal with my grandparents last night. Even my grandparents were polite to my friend. You’re really bold!”

“What’s wrong? Why are you making such a din early in the morning? Are you trying to disturb my sleep?” A woman came out of the building. She was still wearing pajamas.

It was the other servant.

Seeing her, Feng Qin sneered, “The servants of the Feng Family are really lucky. They woke up later than their mistress. Which family’s servant has such good treatment! I should ask Grandmother if this is how the Feng Family treat their servants?”

The servant was shocked and quickly tried to curry favor, “Missy, no, no. Don’t tell Old Madam. I’m not usually like this. I woke up a little late today because I wasn’t feeling well.”

It was true that she was sent by the Old Madam to look after Feng Xiangxiang, but she was only a servant of the Feng Family after all. If the Old Madam found out that she was so lazy, she would definitely not let her off.

“You should keep these words to my grandmother!”

“I’ve brought guests today. If Grandmother finds out that the servants of the Feng Family are so rude in front of the guests, guess what she will do?”

The servant then saw Yan Jinyu and Xi Fengling standing in the courtyard with smiles on their faces.

Yes, they were smiling. One was a faint smile, and the other was a charming smile.

They were clearly smiling, but it gave people an indescribable sense of oppression.

With such temperament and looks, they were obviously not ordinary people!

They might even be important guests!

She initially thought that Feng Qin’s friends could only be unpresentable…

She quickly apologized, “I’m sorry, Missy. It’s my fault. Although I woke up late because I wasn’t feeling well, I was indeed rude in front of the guests. You can punish me however you want. Please don’t tell Old Madam. I don’t want to lose this job.”
