"Who's here?" Li Yuan asked upon hearing the voices.
"Ji Yun."
"Xiao Yun is here?"
"Auntie, sorry to disturb. Do you have guests?"
Ji Yun had just walked in and saw three beautiful women on the sofa, all of whom she recognized. Miss Chu and Teacher Su, and the blonde Miss Chu.
She slowly walked over and greeted everyone. Miss Chu greeted her and gestured for her to sit next to her. Ji Yun felt a bit awkward sitting between Miss Chu and Su Qingwan.
One was a celebrity, the other a teacher, which made her feel a bit overwhelmed.
She glanced at Xu Lin for help, but he just squinted and smiled, seeming very happy.
"This guy..."
"What did you say?"
"Nothing, Teacher Su. How come you're at Xu Lin's house? Home visit?"
"I happened to be nearby and heard Xu Lin was coming back, so I asked him and gave everyone a ride. But they insisted me to stay for dinner."
"I see. Teacher Su, I happen to have a question for you."
"Oh? Sure."
"We can use Xu Lin's books and exercise sheets, since he doesn't use them anyway."
"What?"
Ji Yun casually said, but it caught the attention of Xu Feng, who was assisting in the kitchen.
"You lad, don't you do your homework?"
"No, Uncle Xu. It's not that he doesn't do it, it's a reward from the school. We deliberately gave him time for extracurricular study, which can also be seen as our affirmation of his performance."
Suddenly, Su Qingwan also hurriedly said, leaving Xu Feng a bit bewildered. "You can do this too? With good grades, you can actually be exempt from homework."
"'Dad, just look at my exam rankings. I have my own study methods.'
"Since the teacher agrees, I won't say anything more. But you still need to study hard. Don't slack off just because you did well once."
"Of course, of course."
Xu Feng went back to help, and Ji Yun also felt embarrassed and said to Xu Lin, "Sorry, I spoke too quickly earlier, without thinking."
"It's okay, this was approved from the above. What do I have to fear?"
"Xu Lin, do you think I can't give you extra homework?" Su Qingwan heard Xu Lin's fierce words and responded directly.
"Teacher Su, while you eat your banana, let me peel it for you.'
Not far away, Chu Fengyi looked at the latest chapters updated by Xu Lin today, and glanced at Su Qingwan and Ji Yun.
'There must be something going on between this teacher and Xu Lin, although there's no evidence at all. They talk as if they're familiar with each other, but there's no intimate gesture.'
But she always felt something was off, a sixth sense, she couldn't explain it. This guy, Xu Lin, was pursued by many women in his past life. In this modern society, let's see how he plays it!
Thinking of this, Chu Fengyi suddenly felt much lighter, and the tense plot in the novel's last few chapters also became a bit lighter.
"By the way, Student Ji, do you know Miss Chu?"
"I met her once."
"Then why didn't you tell me? Last time you came to my office, I told you I liked Miss Chu."
"Sorry, Teacher Su, I forgot." Ji Yun recalled and realized it might have happened. But at the time, she just thought Teacher Su was casually discussing topics with the students' leaders and representatives.
"It's okay, today's encounter is also a pleasant surprise. Miss Chu, could you give me an autograph?"
"Sure."
"I'll get some paper."
Ji Yun got up and walked towards Xu Lin's room, but after two steps, she suddenly felt the gaze of a woman. What's wrong?
Chu Fengyi leaned against her sister and whispered, "See, there are many enemies."
"Do you think you can't compete with a young girl?" Chu Qingchan's tone carried a hint of ridicule.
"Chu Qingchan, you're in the entertainment industry, don't you know? Nowadays, they all like older sisters. But when they get older, they like younger ones."
"The so-called 18-year-old boys like 18-year-old girls, 28-year-olds like 18-year-old girls. It's still the same when they're 48, 58, or 68, right?"
"Well... you make sense, but aren't you also a young girl, even younger than the other party."
Chu Qingchan glanced at her sister. It seemed that she had been the same since she was 14, as if she had taken some elixir of eternal youth.
"Chu Qingchan, are you that confident?"
"I am confident. This is called confidence of the main wife. Haven't you read so many novels?"
"Humph, main wife? Wait until you see how Xu Lin treats you, then you'll cry without tears."
"I'll wait and see. Anyway, I'm confident."
Chu Qingchan leaned back on the sofa, and Chu Fengyi stopped talking when she saw her like this.
"You can be confident. But when you see that Xu Lin is running after other butterflies, don't come crying to me."
In the kitchen, Li Yuan and her husband chatted while cooking.
"Hey, which girl do you think is good?"
"What girl?" Xu Feng was a little confused about his wife's meaning.
"I mean, which one would be a good daughter-in-law?"
"Hey, hey, neither of them are your daughter-in-law, one is a celebrity, one is a teacher, and one is a foreign princess. Don't cause trouble for our son."
"Do you like that girl from the Ji family then?"
Li Yuan stirred the pot and glanced at her husband, Xu Feng surprisingly nodded.
"They are close in age. She is academically good, and has a good temperament. If they both get into university and fate brings them together, I think it's possible."
"You're not wrong in saying that, but I think they're all so beautiful..."
"Let's not talk about the girls from the Chu family yet. What's the point of matching up a teacher? You're just making wild guesses," Xu Feng laughed, thinking his wife always had wild thoughts.
"Anyway, I think they're all beautiful... even having children would be beautiful."
"Back then, you chose an average-looking person like me," Xu Feng laughed too.
"That's why I want our son to have even better options."
"Don't tell him that, or he'll turn into a playboy."
"Seems like it's already happening. Surrounded by a group of beauties, this kid's luck with women is quite good. But I don't want him to be a philanderer... after all, we live in a society governed by law."
Hearing his wife's words, Xu Feng also felt his wife was a bit too carefree, implying she wanted all her daughters-in-law. Ah~
A few minutes later, Li Yuan called out that dinner was ready. Instantly, the girls' eyes lit up as they headed towards the kitchen to help.
Li Yuan also showed a happy smile and then made sure everyone had something to carry, even Xu Lin secretly gave Li Yuan a thumbs up.
Truly my mother! She's excellent in every aspect!
Looking at four beautiful ladies helping to tidy up the table, serving dishes, and fetching bowls, his mood became very pleasant. It feels like his dream has taken a step forward, even if it's just a small step.
"Xu Lin! What are you standing there for? Come over and serve the rice!"
Li Yuan saw Xu Lin standing aside watching the show, and she felt annoyed!
"Coming, coming, I was thinking about what I need to prepare for school tomorrow~"
"Old Xu, your son is just like you, lazy but love to eat."
"What do you mean like me? I'm very diligent." Xu Feng scratched his head.
"Yes, when you were healthy, you were lazy and didn't join your classmates in starting a business. Now we're all working, and they've become bosses."
"Yes, yes, there are so many people here..."
Xu Feng pulled his wife's hand, but as soon as she brought up the past, Li Yuan was filled with anger and wanted to continue talking.
But a warm and delicate hand rested on her palm. "Auntie, don't be angry, let's eat first, we rarely get together like this."
"My parents used to argue often, but arguing is useless. Sitting down and talking calmly is the way to go."
Ji Yun sincerely looked at Li Yuan, who looked into the beautiful eyes of the girl, and her anger dissipated, gently patting her hand.
"Okay, we often have a little quarrel, it's okay, let's eat."
Seeing Ji Yun's performance, Chu Qingchan suddenly frowned. She thought she was just a little girl, but she didn't expect her to make such a move, starting to strategize to win over the mother-in-law.
On the side, Chu Fengyi glanced at Chu Qingchan, chuckling inwardly. See, even little girls aren't easy to deal with.
But Su Qingwan didn't feel the intertwining gazes around her. Sitting in her seat, looking at the table full of dishes, she felt so hungry.
Because she had substituted for two classes today, in addition to her regular classes, she had taught a total of six classes, which had exhausted her. Now she just wanted to taste these Coca-Cola chicken wings.
