Chapter 1476: Chapter 862
"Third Sister, Hong Ye is already a grandmother, and you are taking your anger out on her in front of the younger generation. Where does that leave her dignity?
And the things you said, are they really something an elder should say? Anyway, all you care about is money, and since our family doesn’t have any, you might as well go wherever you want." Granny thought about how her eldest and her daughter’s family were mistreated by Third Sister and issued a direct order to leave.
Moreover, knowing Third Sister, if she wasn’t trying to ask something from her and the eldest, she wouldn’t even bother bringing a bag of dates.
"Second Sister, I realize my mistake..." The top-grade Third Sister smiled and sidled up, "I came here specifically to apologize, Second Sister, please don’t be angry."
"We can’t afford your apology, just go." Granny waved her hand dismissively, "Our kinship ends here; trust me, we won’t rely on you anymore in the future."
"Second Sister..." Third Sister’s expression became unnatural, "Everyone has moments of foolishness. We’re siblings, don’t hold a grudge, Second Sister."
"I’m not holding a grudge against you. That’s enough, stop here. Our poor family can’t bear such a great person like you." Granny turned to her daughter and son-in-law, "Close the door."
"Second Sister..."
Granny’s daughter and son-in-law blocked the top-grade Third Sister from following, "Third Aunt, you know Mom’s temperament. Just stop here."
After supporting the old lady inside, Luo Feng and Li Zejun exchanged a few words before standing up to leave, and Granny smiled awkwardly: "Xiao Feng, Xiao Kun, having you two help me, really... hehe..."
"We understand." Luo Feng patted her with a smile and turned to leave. Clearly, the lady wanted to show off in front of the belittling Third Sister, how could he not understand?
"Mayor Luo, Vice Mayor Li..." Granny’s daughter and son-in-law jumped up quickly when they saw them come out, nervously twisting their clothes, clearly wanting to speak but hesitating.
"What’s the matter?" Luo Feng asked, then realized, "You want to take Granny home now, right?"
Granny’s daughter looked uncomfortable: "My daughter-in-law is still sick, and we’re thinking of bringing Mom over; otherwise, going back and forth is a bit far."
Luo Feng thought it over: "How about this, if Granny’s willing to go today, we’ll take her over after we get off work this afternoon. You guys can prepare in advance."
"Alright!" Granny’s daughter and son-in-law immediately lit up with joy.
Luo Feng teased with a smile: "Looking at you two, you were afraid I wouldn’t let Granny leave?"
"No, no!" Granny’s daughter waved her hands quickly, embarrassed, "It’s just that Mom said, if you let her go, she would go, but if you didn’t agree, she would stay here."
"That old lady..." Luo Feng turned back inside, "Granny, take everything you need, I promise to visit you every week from now on."
"Hehe..." Granny immediately beamed, "Xiao Feng, you’re really smart, you guessed what I was thinking right away."
Luo Feng smiled and shook his head, turning to leave.
The top-grade Third Sister was squatting pitifully outside the main gate. Seeing Luo Feng and Li Zejun coming out, she quickly stood up: "Hello, Lord Officials." She had heard that one was the mayor and the other was the vice mayor, but she couldn’t tell them apart, so she addressed them both with a title she picked up probably from watching too many historical dramas.
Luo Feng glanced at her indifferently and continued on without responding. Since he ignored her, naturally Li Zejun wouldn’t speak either. The top-grade Third Sister panicked and quickly stepped forward to block their way: "Which one of you is Mayor Luo?"
"Do you need me for something?" Luo Feng stopped and looked at her expressionlessly, "And if it’s about going through the back door, forget about it."
"No..." The top-grade Third Sister smiled, her face like a bun, "It’s not about using connections; I have something good to talk about with the mayor, really."
Li Zejun couldn’t help but speculate based on her expression: "Are you trying to introduce a marriage match to the mayor?"
"Yes! Yes! Yes!" The top-grade Third Sister nodded vigorously, "Mayor, let me tell you, my brother-in-law’s niece, Miao Lihua, you can ask around: within a hundred miles, there’s no girl as beautiful as her.
She just returned from Shanghai a few days ago, visited our house yesterday, and oh my, after spending half a year in Beijing, she’s even more radiant!
I thought, since the mayor is renting a room in my Second Sister’s place, why not keep it in the family? So I tidied up and came over early this morning. Here, take a look at my niece’s photo. I’m not bluffing one bit."
Luo Feng didn’t accept the photo she handed over: "You’re worrying too much. I’m about to get married, so what’s the idea of introducing a match now?"
"The mayor already has a fiancée?" The top-grade Third Sister redirected the photo to Li Zejun quickly, "Vice Mayor Li, take a look."
"There’s no need for me to look either." Li Zejun shook his head, "I also have a partner already."
"Vice Mayor Li, I’ve heard about your partner; it’s a recent match, right?" The top-grade Third Sister forcibly stuffed the photo into Li Zejun’s hand, "Take a look at my family’s Li Hua, she’s definitely prettier than the girl you’re seeing."
Li Zejun tried to give the photo back, but since the top-grade Third Sister was a woman, albeit middle-aged, he had to be cautious. Holding onto it could lead to misunderstandings with Luo Feiyin, which began to annoy him: "Why are you like this?"
As he spoke, his eye caught a glimpse of the girl in the photo, and he faltered slightly. The instant change in Li Zejun’s expression was completely caught by the top-grade Third Sister, who smiled ingratiatingly, "Marriage is a lifelong affair, it’s good to take a look around. If not for my Second Sister being here, I wouldn’t have bothered."
Luo Feng took the photo from Li Zejun and tucked it into the wall, turning back to pat him, "Let’s go."
"Hey, why are you so rude?" A delicate shout accompanied the entrance of a pretty girl in her twenties from around the corner.
Li Zejun’s body trembled slightly, moving to hide behind Luo Feng.
Luo Feng glanced at the girl’s picture, noticing the crescent-shaped eyebrows, peach blossom eyes, high nose, and cherry-like small mouth. Indeed, it was the same person as the girl who had just arrived. As it turned out, the top-grade Third Sister was not alone.
Miao Lihua glared at the top-grade Third Sister, then looked at Luo Feng: "I didn’t ask her to propose to you," she said while pointing to Li Zejun, who was hiding behind Luo Feng, "It’s him I’m interested in."
Li Zejun hesitated and stepped forward: "Miao Lihua, I have a partner."
"You promised to wait for me." Miao Lihua furrowed her delicate brows, "How can you go back on your word?"
Seeing their interaction, it was clear that Li Zejun and Miao Lihua knew each other, so Luo Feng decided not to get involved. He pointed to a car parked in the distance: "I’ll wait for you in the car."
"Mayor, no need." Li Zejun grabbed him as if afraid to be left alone, "I’ll go with you."
"Li Zejun, answer my question: why did you go back on your word?" Miao Lihua stepped forward, blocking Li Zejun, "If no one had informed me, by the time I found out, you might already be holding a child, right?"
