Chapter 14: The Storm of Wu Zhe (1) Flying Library Web

  Cheng Xue Mei looked her son up and down carefully, smiling and saying: "You little rascal, no need to say, that boy is you, right?! You honestly tell your mother, who is that girl?!"

  Lin Ao Feng saw through it and decided to come clean with a "broken pot broken throw". He pursed his lips and said, "It's Hu Yu Yan!"

  Cheng Xue Mei laughed and said: "So it's Yu Yan this little girl. No wonder she always finds trouble with Feng Er, the problem is here!?" Then Cheng Xue Mei changed her tone and said: "However, I quite like this little girl! Letting her be my daughter-in-law, I have no objection!"

  "It's all over! It's all over!" Lin Ao Feng felt a wave of annoyance in his heart: "My mother agreed to this marriage, my father guaranteed that he wouldn't oppose it! I have to think of a way to ruin this thing!"

  "Beep beep" Lin Ao Feng had not yet thought of a plan when two clear car horn sounds came from outside the mansion.

  Cheng Xue Mei smiled and said to Lin Ao Feng: "It must be your father and the others who have returned, you go out and take a look first!"

  "Oh!" Lin Ao Feng responded with a single word and walked out of the house. At the same time, Su Ying Xue who was resting in the bedroom heard the car horn and came out to ask: "Xue Mei, are your parents back?!"

  "It's probably okay! I've already let Feng'er go out and take a look." As soon as Cheng Xue Mei's voice fell, Lin Ao Feng walked in from outside with his head hung low, looking listless. Cheng Xue Mei asked in puzzlement: "Feng'er, what's wrong?!"

  Before Lin Ao Feng could speak, a bright and cheerful laughter came in, saying: "Xue Mei, look who's here?!"

  Cheng Xue Mei was taken aback, looking towards the direction of the gate, and saw a middle-aged man following her husband walking in. Taking a closer look, Cheng Xue Mei burst out laughing and asked: "Brother Hu, what wind blew you here today?!"

  Hu Junqiu looked at Lin Aofeng standing beside Cheng Xue Mei and said: "Isn't it because of the matter between your son and my daughter? Ziliang, how do you think it would be if my daughter were to become your daughter-in-law?"

  Cheng Xue Mei glanced at her own son, smiled and spoke first: "Let Yu Yan be my daughter-in-law, I am a hundred willing. However, Brother Hu, now is the new society, no matter what, let's listen to the opinions of these two young people first!"

  Hu Junqiu nodded slightly and looked back at her own back: "Girl, you say it yourself!"

  Hu Yuyan blushed and lowered her head, saying softly: "It's all up to Father!"

  "Haha! Good!" Hu Yunqiu burst out laughing and said: "Lin Xian, what's your opinion?!" Then Hu Yunqiu put on a look as if he had suddenly realized something, and without waiting for Lin Ao Feng to speak, continued: "I've long heard that Lin Xian is a filial son, so I suppose you'll also listen to your parents' arrangements in this matter?!"

  Lin Ao Feng shook his head and said, "Uncle Hu, I'm afraid you'll be disappointed! I've always regarded Yu Yan as my sister. I never thought of marrying her."

  Hu Jun's eyebrows furrowed as he looked at Lin Guodong and asked, "Brother Zi Liang, does your son's decision represent the opinion of your family?!"

  Lin Guodong replied, "Although our family emphasizes democracy, when it comes to the children's marriage, we still follow the parents' arrangement and matchmaker's words! Since my wife has set her eyes on your daughter as a daughter-in-law, I trust my wife's judgment. However, since the kids are all in school now, in order not to affect their studies, I think it's better to first find a time to settle their marriage, and then hold the wedding after they graduate from university. What do you think, Brother Yunqiu?"

  Hu Junqiu nodded slightly and said with satisfaction: "Let's do it as Brother Ziliang said, choose a good day to settle the matter of the two children."

  For his own future, Lin Aofeng chose to fight back instead of compromising. Just as Hu Junqiu's words fell, Lin Aofeng was about to open his mouth again to disagree with the marriage when Cheng Jincheng spoke up: "Ziliang, do not impose on others what you yourself do not desire. Don't forget your own past! The children will have their own blessings, can you really make decisions for him completely?!"

  When Lin Guodong heard his father-in-law mention his past, the matter that had almost been forgotten re-emerged. Hu Junqiu saw Lin Guodong suddenly daze off, his eyebrows furrowed instantly, and asked: "Ziliang brother, are you going to change your mind?!"

  Lin Guodong came back to his senses, took a look at Hu Junqiu standing in front of him, and then looked at his own son. He said: "Brother Junqiu, I know that your daughter has deep feelings for my son, and you also heard what my son just said. Why don't we compromise? We'll first arrange their marriage, but not make it public, giving them some buffer time. After they graduate from university, if they feel suitable for each other, we can announce their engagement to the public and then help them hold a wedding ceremony. What do you think?"

  Hu Junqiu's face showed a difficult expression and hesitated. However, when Hu Junqiu inadvertently saw her daughter's expectant eyes, Hu Junqiu's heart loosened, and she helplessly sighed and said: "Okay! Let's do it as you said." Then she also said to Lin Aofeng: "You little scoundrel, I only have this one daughter Yu Yan. If I find out that you've wronged her, I definitely won't let you off!"

  Before long, the New Year's Day of 1925 had passed, and the Spring Festival was approaching. The engagement between Lin Ao-feng and Hu Yu-yen was settled in a compromise between their parents. With the engagement, Hu Yu-yen began to entwine herself with Lin Ao-feng every day under the guise of propriety.

  "Madman, what are you doing here alone?!" Just after finishing the exam, Xi Junmai was preparing to find a place to review tomorrow's exam subjects and walked out of the classroom with his book. Not long after, he saw Lin Aofeng sitting under a tree, staring blankly, so he walked over.

  Lin Ao Feng sighed and said: "What else can we do?! Of course, we have to hide! By the way, has there been any news about Arland recently?!"

  Xijun Mai sat down beside Lin Ao Feng and said: "That little brat Arlang is doing quite well now, he's even managed to snag a small official position."

  Lin Ao Feng let out a sigh, took over the topic and said: "To be honest, I'm really envious of Arlang right now, he can do what he likes. And me? I can only become a sacrifice!"

  "Alright! Don't be so self-pitying. Yu Yan is actually a good girl." Xi Jun Mai's words were cut off by Lin Ao Feng, who said: "I know she's not bad, but I just don't have any feelings for her."

  "So who do you have feelings for?!" Xijun suddenly reacted and asked, "Do you have feelings for Ge Siqi?!"

  Lin Aofeng sighed and smiled bitterly, "Where do you think you're going? Ge Siqi is Hu Guofu's dream lover." Suddenly, Lin Aofeng was attracted to a girl with a unique temperament not far away. Xi Junmai, who was sitting on the side, seemed to have noticed something and followed Lin Aofeng's gaze, saying: "Her name is Qin Keqing, she is the daughter of our law school professor Qin Guozhong, and also the campus belle of our medical school. You're not interested in her, are you?"

  Lin Ao Feng nodded and muttered to himself: "If Hu Yu Yan is a chili pepper, then Qin Ke Qing is a blooming orchid."

  Qin Keqing, who was chatting with friends, seemed to have felt Lin Aofeng's scorching gaze, turned her head and looked at Lin Aofeng, their eyes intersected for a moment, and they were both electrified. Lin Aofeng, who had made up his mind, stood up, adjusted his clothes, walked quickly to Qin Keqing's front, smiled and stretched out his hand: "Hello, Qin Keqing! I'm Lin Aofeng from the School of Architecture."

  Qin Keqing politely shook hands with Lin Aofeng and said: "I've long heard of you. The prodigy of our school."

  "Genius? I don't dare say that. I just read more books and know a bit more than others, that's all!" Lin Aofeng said with a smile.

  "It's not that simple!" Qin Keqing hadn't finished speaking when the girl beside her complained, "Keqing, you're not going to forget about me just because you saw a handsome guy, are you?!"

  Qin Keqing smiled slightly and said: "Lin Aofeng, let me introduce her to you. She is Tian Lina from the Journalism Department."

  "Hello, Tian Lina!" Lin Aofeng smiled and extended his hand.

  Tian Lina politely shook hands with Lin Ao Feng and said, "Sorry, I promised Qin Ke to go see a movie! You and Qin Ke can talk another day!" After that, Tian Lina didn't give Lin Ao Feng and Qin Ke the chance to speak again, and pulled Qin Ke to run out of school.

  Qin Keqing ran alongside Tian Lina while turning her head to look at Lin Ao Feng, as if using her eyes to apologize to him. Lin Ao Feng seemed to understand Qin Keqing's gaze and nodded slightly.

  At this time, Xi Junmai walked to Lin Ao's side and said: "Madman! Come back to your senses! The people have already gone far away!"

  Lin Ao Feng said: "Old Xue, this is probably love at first sight! I have already fallen in love with Qin Keqing."

  "Cough!" Xi Jun Mai let out a sigh, patted Lin Ao Feng's shoulder and said meaningfully: "Madman, since you have someone you like, find an opportunity to clarify things with Yu Xuan. Don't drag it on like this, it's not good for either of you!"

  Lin Ao Feng nodded and watched as Xi Jun Mai walked away, muttering to himself: "I too want to resolve this matter as soon as possible!"

  Back home, Lin Ao Feng casually threw his school bag onto the sofa and sat down with a sigh. Just then, footsteps were heard from upstairs, and Lin Ao Feng turned his head towards the stairs and called out: "Grandma!"

  Su Yingxue nodded and walked over to Lin Ao's side, asking: "Feng'er, what's wrong?!"

  "What else can I do?! It's all because of the engagement my father arranged for me! I don't even like Hu Yuyan, but my father insisted on pairing us up. He forced us together."

  Su Yingxue's eyes lit up and she said: "Feng'er, tell Grandma. Have you fallen in love with someone?!"

  Lin Aofeng gritted his teeth and nodded, "Yes! But the last layer of paper has not been pierced yet." Then Lin Aofeng asked again, "Grandma, I've been back for so long, why haven't I seen Grandpa?!"

  Su Yingxue replied: "Song Ziwen returned to Shanghai yesterday and knew that your grandfather was also there, so he sent someone to invite your grandfather today."

  "Oh!" Lin Ao Feng responded with a sound, saying: "Grandma, my parents all like Hu Yu Yan, and I just treat Hu Yu Yan as a sister......"

  "Cough!" Su Yingxue sighed and interrupted, "Your grandma knows what you're thinking! After a while, I'll let your grandpa have a good talk with your dad to cancel this engagement. Now you should be at ease, right?"

  "Long live Grandma!" Lin Ao Feng excitedly jumped up and nodded repeatedly: "Don't worry! Don't worry!"...
