Now that he couldn’t find a way to break through to the fourth stage, Ji Feng had some free time, not to mention that he hadn’t seen Xiao Yu for a long time and missed her, so Ji Feng decided to leave for Jiangzhou right away.
Jiangzhou was not a short distance from Island No. 1, but it didn’t take long by plane, and at noon, Ji Feng arrived in Jiangzhou.
“Third Brother! I’m here!”
As soon as he exited the airport pa*sageway, Ji Feng saw Ji Xiaoyu waving his hand and waiting for him.
Quickly walking up to Ji Xiaoyu, Ji Feng smiled and said, “Haven’t seen you for a while, Xiaoyu has grown into a big girl too!”
At this time, Ji Xiaoyu was wearing a pair of rust-red seven-part trousers with a little harlequin style looking very casual, and her original youthful student dress had turned into a fashionable city girl dress at this time, which matched her beautiful appearance, and had a unique charm.
Ji Xiaoyu, however, blushed and pouted, “Third brother, you’ve also learned badly from second brother, you just know how to flirt with me!”
Ji Feng laughed, “I’m telling the truth, don’t believe me, look, everyone around is staring at you!”
Indeed, as Ji Xiaoyu stood here, many of the men around her were staring at her, full of youthful vitality and with a fashionable urban flavor, she was like a beautiful scenery here, which was indeed very eye-catching.
Ji Xiaoyu wrinkled her nose: “Third brother, if you keep saying that I’ll ignore you!”
Ji Feng laughed out loud, “Good! Good! No more talking. Xiao Yu, you asked me to come to Jiangzhou, what’s the matter?”
“Let’s talk about it in the car.” Ji Xiaoyu said.
“Fine!”
Ji Feng nodded, this was indeed not the place to talk, there were quite a few people around looking this way, no matter what the matter was, it was always bad to discuss it here.
When he came to the car park, Ji Feng couldn’t help but smile again, Xiao Yu the girl’s car was actually a sedan produced by the Tengfei Group, and it was a rare pink colour that looked very feminine.
“Xiao Yu, you have this car ……”
“Pretty, isn’t it? It was given to me by my sister-in-law!” Ji Xiaoyu said smugly.
“Sister-in-law? Which sister-in-law?!” Ji Feng asked.
“It’s sister-in-law Lei Lei!”
Ji Xiaoyu couldn’t help but complain, “Third brother, you’re really bad, I used to have to squeeze the bus or take the underground every day to go to work, and you didn’t know to send me a car, or sister-in-law Lei Lei thought of it and had someone send me one on purpose!”
Ji Feng froze, he didn’t expect that Tong Lei would actually make such an arrangement, but this was obviously the right thing to do, just by looking at the smile on Xiao Yu’s girl’s face, he could tell how much she liked this car.
This made Ji Feng also had to sigh, the fact that the Ji family had been able to stand for decades without falling could not just be because of the presence of the old man, the education of the elders of the family to the juniors below was also one of the reasons.
With a status like Ji Xiaoyu’s, if she wanted a car, what kind of car couldn’t she get? I’m afraid that even if she wanted the most expensive limited edition in the world, there would definitely be someone who would bashfully deliver it to her, even if it was the most expensive customized version, it was not something out of reach, and moreover, all the formalities would definitely not need to be bothered by Xiao Yu.
But this girl still squeezed the bus to work!
“This is an oversight on my part, how come you don’t know to buy a car for yourself?” Ji Feng asked with a smile.
“I don’t have so much money!”
Ji Xiaoyu hummed, “The company I originally worked for was too stingy, seeing as I only graduated with a bachelor’s degree, they only gave me a little over four thousand a month, luckily second brother helped me find a house, otherwise I wouldn’t have much left in my monthly salary just from rent plus living expenses, and I would still have money to buy a car?”
Ji Feng was dumbfounded, “So how can you afford to support yourself now?”
Ji Xiaoyu said, “I changed jobs! Someone is paying me well and doubling my salary!”
Seeing Ji Xiaoyu’s smiling face, the smile on Ji Feng’s face couldn’t help but brighten up a bit, “Xiao Yu, I remember that you studied management, right? I’ll help you find a job, how about that?”
“You?”
Ji Xiaoyu took a look at him and immediately shook her head, “No! I’m not going to work in your company, there’s no point!”
Ji Feng was immediately amused: “Little girl, an easy and well-paying job is not interesting? Then what kind of job is interesting?”
“The job I have now is quite good!” Ji Xiaoyu said, “Third brother, I’m already a supervisor now, I’m in charge of more than twenty people below me, and our group’s performance is very good, as long as I keep it up, I’ll be able to sit in the position of department manager next year.”
Only then did Ji Feng realise that Ji Xiaoyu was actually doing quite well. Originally, he only knew that Ji Xiaoyu was working in a cosmetics company, but he didn’t expect that after only a short time, this girl was already a supervisor.
Ji Feng suddenly realised that he had cared too little about the people around him over this period of time, and his energy had all been distracted by the construction of Island No. 1 and the dynasty’s affairs.
“Third brother, why are you dazed?!” While Ji Feng was secretly lamenting, Ji Xiaoyu had already gotten into the car and lowered the window gla*s.
Ji Feng smiled as he sat in the pa*senger seat, seeing Ji Xiaoyu skillfully start the car, then put it in gear and drive it away from the parking space, he then realised that in the year or so he had stayed on No. 1 Island, this girl Xiaoyu had really grown up.
“Third Brother, it’s time for dinner, I’ll treat you to dinner.” Ji Xiaoyu said.
“Sure!”
Ji Feng nodded and smiled, “I’ll listen to your arrangements today.”
He could tell that this girl definitely had something going on, but she was just a bit squirmy and didn’t seem to have thought about what to tell him yet. He couldn’t help but feel a twitch in his heart, this girl couldn’t be in love, could she?
Ji Xiaoyu led him to a cafe and found a card table. After they sat down, Ji Feng took the menu and ordered a few dishes.
Soon, the dishes came up and Ji Feng smiled, “Hurry up and eat, this yellow fish should be eaten while it’s hot, the taste will change if it gets cold.”
He then ate on his own.
Until he was almost done eating, Ji Xiaoyu finally couldn’t help but say, “Third brother, why didn’t you ask?”
Ji Feng laughed, “Ask what?”
Ji Xiaoyu angrily said, “Before, you were asking me all the time what I was asking you to come to Jiangzhou for, how come now you’re just eating and not even asking a single question!”
Ji Feng was instantly amused, “Just now I asked you and you didn’t say anything!”
Ji Xiaoyu squirmed for a moment, wanting to say something but then stopped.
“Did you encounter something difficult? What, you can’t say anything to Third Brother too?” Ji Feng asked.
“Third Brother, Second Uncle asked me to come to the house for dinner!” Ji Xiaoyu suddenly said.
Ji Feng said, “What’s wrong?”
He knew that Second Uncle Ji Zhenguo was also extremely fond of Xiao Yu, especially Second Aunt, who was simply closer to Xiao Yu than her own daughter because she didn’t have a daughter, and would go to school every now and then to see Xiao Yu when she was in college. So at this time, hearing Xiao Yu say this, Ji Feng did not feel surprised at all.
“He …… told me to go with someone else!” Ji Xiaoyu said.
“With someone else? With who?” Ji Feng was stunned.
But soon, Ji Feng reacted, “Xiao Yu, are you in love?”
Ji Xiaoyu blushed slightly but nodded, “Yesterday …… I met Erniang, then Second Uncle called me and asked me to go to the house ……”
Hearing Ji Xiaoyu’s somewhat embarra*sed words, Ji Feng understood what was going on.
It turns out that yesterday, when Ji Xiaoyu was out with her boyfriend, it just so happened that when Second Aunt came over to visit Xiaoyu, she met Xiaoyu’s boyfriend, and after she came home, she must have told Second Uncle about Xiaoyu’s relationship, so Second Uncle called and asked Xiaoyu to bring her boyfriend to the house for dinner together.
Ji Feng knew that actually the dinner was only incidental, it was only true that Uncle Er wanted to see Xiao Yu’s boyfriend!
“Xiao Yu, are you …… living with your boyfriend?” Ji Feng suddenly asked.
“Which is not!”
Ji Xiaoyu hurriedly shook her head and said with a red face, “It’s just that he happened to come looking for me yesterday, and then he was met by Erniang, so she might have misunderstood ……”
That’s no wonder!
Ji Feng instantly laughed, he originally thought it was strange, it was normal for young people to fall in love, usually this kind of thing, the second uncle would definitely not venture to ask too much, obviously, the second aunt had met her boyfriend at Ji Xiaoyu’s place, so she a*sumed that the two of them were already living together.
In the eyes of the older generation, this is a big deal. If it was other young people living together, it might not matter, but when it comes to their own niece, Second Uncle and Second Aunt immediately take it seriously.
That’s why there was that phone call from Second Uncle, asking Xiao Yu to bring her boyfriend along.
“So you asked me to come, is it to escort you? Or is it to give you courage?” Ji Feng asked with a smile.
“No, it’s just that my boyfriend he’s a bit …… too honest, and I’m afraid that second uncle won’t be satisfied when he sees it.” Ji Xiaoyu was a little worried.
Ji Feng was stunned, “Too honest? Xiao Yu, give me an introduction to this boyfriend of yours. This girl of yours is really something, she’s in love and still hides it, even I don’t tell her, if Second Aunt didn’t happen to come across it, how long do you plan to hide it?”
Ji Xiaoyu was a bit embarra*sed, “I haven’t thought of what to tell you guys yet.”
“Alright, tell us about that boyfriend of yours.” Ji Feng didn’t say anything else, this girl was already thin-skinned, and although she was lively and active, she was not someone who could wipe her face, so she would be embarra*sed if she said too much.
“His name is Wu Peng, he is from East China, his family is from the countryside, his family is not very rich.” Ji Xiaoyu said, and as she spoke, her gaze was fixed on Ji Feng’s face, as if she wanted to see Ji Feng’s reaction clearly.
“Mm.”
Ji Feng nodded, “Then what?”
Ji Xiaoyu froze for a moment, seemingly not expecting this kind of reaction from Ji Feng, and after a moment of hesitation, asked, “Third brother, would the rural ones not be good?”
Ji Feng laughed, “What’s so bad about it? Don’t you forget, I also came from the countryside, your eldest mother also came from the countryside, and grandfather, isn’t he also from the mud leg? I never felt there was anything wrong with being from a rural background, so how come you have baggage in this regard?”
Ji Xiaoyu smiled at her words, and a smile suddenly appeared on her delicate features.
