Super Soldier in Campus

Chapter 1297 - 1301: Money for a House

Wu Mei heard Jiang Xiuyun’s words and naturally knew there was a misunderstanding. The elder evidently thought Lin Feng went for a shower intending to do something with her, even specially warned her once with a word.

"Auntie, you’re overthinking it, we didn’t..." Wu Mei really didn’t know how to explain it well, her face flushed red, speaking awkwardly, stopping halfway, turning to look toward the bathroom... She felt it was better to let Lin Feng come out and explain to Jiang Xiuyun.

"Hmm?" Jiang Xiuyun listened to Wu Mei’s unfinished explanation, slightly widening her eyes at her.

Wu Mei turned red with embarrassment, remaining silent, feeling explaining would be useless; better to wait for Lin Feng.

However, at this moment, Lin Feng, either suddenly found interest or felt he had too much old grime, scrubbed in the bathroom thoroughly for quite a while and still hesitated to come out.

Wu Mei and Jiang Xiuyun awkwardly coexisted in the living room for more than half an hour before Lin Feng emerged, wrapped in a towel, wearing only boxers.

Coming out, Lin Feng continued using the towel to wipe drops from his body while jokingly saying, "Little beauty, don’t eat everything alone, save me some..."

Then, Lin Feng heard his mother Jiang Xiuyun’s somewhat sour voice.

"Lin Feng, how come I never realized you knew how to cook?"

Lin Feng was startled, instinctively brought the towel he was about to discard up to cover in front of him, looking quizzically at his mother Jiang Xiuyun, "Mom, why are you here?!"

Jiang Xiuyun was furious at Lin Feng’s instinctive covering move, thinking this brat just got a girlfriend and is already pretending to be innocent in front of her. It was infuriating. Doesn’t he know, she remembers even the birthmarks in his pants clearly?

If she were not here, surely he wouldn’t be hiding in front of Wu Mei, would he? At the thought of raising her son only to become an outsider, Jiang Xiuyun felt a pang of jealousy inside.

"Turns out the house I bought, I can’t even stay here..." Jiang Xiuyun glanced at Lin Feng with a tinge of resentment, lightly saying, "Alright then, go accompany your woman, I’ll be on my way!"

Saying so, Jiang Xiuyun pretended to pack up and leave.

Lin Feng was bewildered, what was this? He had just casually asked a question.

Luckily, Wu Mei was a smart woman; she understood Jiang Xiuyun’s thoughts and just as Jiang Xiuyun was about to grab her bag, Wu Mei reached out to hold Jiang Xiuyun’s arm, smiling apologetically, "Auntie, Lin Feng didn’t mean that, he was just surprised! Since Lin Feng is done with his shower, let’s eat together!"

"Is that so?" Jiang Xiuyun cast a glance at Lin Feng, asking with a half-smile.

Lin Feng was not surprised, he was genuinely frightened. He never told Jiang Xiuyun Wu Mei was living in this house nor mentioned visiting Wu Mei today, never expected this encounter...

But now, Lin Feng could only follow Wu Mei’s lead, apologizing to Jiang Xiuyun, "Yes, Mom, don’t overthink, let’s eat first, I’ll go get dressed..."

Then, Lin Feng quickly slipped into the bathroom, got dressed, and came out again.

Lin Feng thought that when he came out, he’d see Wu Mei smiling apologetically serving Jiang Xiuyun, while Jiang Xiuyun would be stern-faced and unsmiling, but unexpectedly, Jiang Xiuyun didn’t let Wu Mei serve, instead, she herself was serving soup and rice for Wu Mei.

Wu Mei looked at Lin Feng with embarrassment, repeatedly hinting with eyes this was Jiang Xiuyun’s forced act.

Lin Feng naturally understood Jiang Xiuyun, knowing she valued face, and was very kind-hearted, knowing Wu Mei was pregnant, certainly wouldn’t let Wu Mei serve her but instead did it herself, also serving Wu Mei by the way.

"Lin Feng, I didn’t expect your cooking to taste quite good. Although the lamb soup is a bit strong, other dishes are pretty decent..." Jiang Xiuyun said with a smile, showing satisfaction towards Lin Feng.

Every mother hopes their child does well, it’s a basic expectation, no matter what the son does, as long as she’s satisfied, she feels very consoled and happy.

For Jiang Xiuyun, who had never seen Lin Feng cook, it was quite the comfort to taste his cooking once.

"Mom, as long as you like it..." Lin Feng smiled bashfully, speaking lightly to Jiang Xiuyun.

"Silly child, am I that old? Why call me Mom? Are you starting to find me annoying because I’m old?" Jiang Xiuyun pretended to be angry, glaring at Lin Feng unsatisfactorily.

Lin Feng’s face froze, smiling wryly at Jiang Xiuyun, "No, really don’t overthink..."

Jiang Xiuyun was just joking with Lin Feng, naturally not overthinking, eating while observing Wu Mei. Last time Lin Feng came home and left again in a hurry, she hadn’t seen Wu Mei clearly, this time, she wanted a good look.

Wu Mei was naturally outstanding in appearance and had a nice figure, even better fitting Jiang Xiuyun’s aesthetics than Tang Rou, but that faintly garish maturity between her brows made Jiang Xiuyun a bit hesitant... In comparison, Tang Rou appeared more pure and virtuous, without the slightest hint of garishness.

If it were purely about choosing a daughter-in-law, Jiang Xiuyun would certainly choose Tang Rou, but she doesn’t mind Wu Mei giving Lin Feng a son... In this era, although such things sound a little unethical, Jiang Xiuyun wouldn’t be too harsh on her son, she doesn’t mind Lin Feng expanding the Lin Family.

Although this thought sounds a bit selfish, it’s just the reality in China now; almost any slightly wealthy man isn’t usually the most virtuous.

"Lin Feng, this apartment complex is a bit old, without many children’s facilities. If Wu Mei gives birth later, it might be inconvenient. How about buying a new house, I still have about eight hundred thousand in savings..."

Just refusing to be called Mom, Jiang Xiuyun now claimed to be Mom, astonishing Lin Feng. What surprised him more was that Jiang Xiuyun took the initiative to offer money to buy a new house for Wu Mei... Lin Feng realized Jiang Xiuyun wasn’t blaming him for the Wu Mei matter but encouraging him to take responsibility and give Wu Mei a better life! Truly a mother!

Lin Feng glanced at Wu Mei, her eyes filled with excitement. For Wu Mei, hearing Jiang Xiuyun mention giving money to Lin Feng to buy a house for her made her realize this prospective mother-in-law didn’t dislike her, and for the humble Wu Mei, this was undoubtedly the best news.
