After leaving the Tang Corporation, Lin Feng signaled Mu Bei to drive him to Su Qingya's place.
On the way back, Mu Bei couldn't help but ask curiously, "Boss, the Tang family is nothing. If you just say the word, I could wipe them out by myself. Why would you give them a chance to live?"
"Mu Bei, you've never been in love, so you wouldn't understand some things if I told you!"
"Tang Wan is a strong woman with self-respect. If I did everything for her, she wouldn't be happy, but rather feel indebted to me."
"When it comes to feelings, if there's indebtedness, it's hard to get along harmoniously."
"So, I want Tang Wan to win over the Tang family herself."
Lin Feng smiled as he explained some of his thoughts.
As expected, Mu Bei was completely lost, unable to comprehend.
At dusk, Lin Feng returned to Su Qingya's place.
Liu Mengyao and the others had already returned to the villa. Only Su Qingya remained in the two-story building, tidying up the house.
"You can go too. I'll contact you if anything comes up."
Lin Feng signaled Mu Bei to leave first.
He needed to strike while the iron was hot with Su Qingya, perhaps playing some cards together.
Mu Bei shouldn't disturb such matters.
"Qingya, don't rush with the chores. Take a break."
Lin Feng came up behind Su Qingya and hugged her from behind.
"It's fine, I'm not tired. My mom might be back soon, and I thought I'd clean up the house nicely to give her a big surprise."
Su Qingya smiled slightly, turned around, and gave Lin Feng a fleeting kiss.
"Qingya, then finish tidying up later. Come upstairs and lie down with me for a bit."
Lin Feng led Su Qingya upstairs.
The upper floor had a pitched roof, and Lin Feng had specially added a skylight.
Lying on the custom-made wooden bed, they could look up at the spotless sky.
"How is it? My designed house is nice, isn't it?"
Lin Feng raised his eyebrows, quite satisfied with his handiwork.
"It's really wonderful, just like the little cottage I dreamed of."
"You can see the starry sky from here, and there's a picturesque courtyard right outside."
Su Qingya leaned into Lin Feng's embrace with a sense of enjoyment and contentment, feeling that time was peaceful.
"Qingya, since you're in such a good mood, can we do something even more wonderful!"
Lin Feng smiled slightly, flipped over, and pinned Su Qingya beneath him.
At this moment, outside the courtyard, Zhang Cuihua appeared at the entrance with an elderly overseas Chinese.
The elderly overseas Chinese, around fifty years old, was dressed elegantly.
He wore a white baseball cap, a grey waistcoat, and an old Shanghai watch on his wrist.
He had a friendly appearance, giving the impression of a cultured person.
"Cuihua, is this two-story building yours? Didn't you say your family lived in a bungalow?"
The elderly overseas Chinese looked at the unique two-story building before him, somewhat bewildered.
Zhang Cuihua was also confused. She looked around, "Yes, this is my home. But when did my home become a building?"
"The courtyard has also been renovated, and even the courtyard wall is newly built."
Zhang Cuihua scratched her head. After being away for a few days, her home had undergone a drastic change.
If it weren't for her familiarity with the surroundings, Zhang Cuihua would have doubted she had found the right place.
"Qingya! Qingya!"
Zhang Cuihua stood at the courtyard entrance and shouted loudly.
Lin Feng and Su Qingya were in the midst of intimacy. Su Qingya's underwear had just been pulled down by Lin Feng, and they were about to proceed to the next step when they heard Zhang Cuihua's call.
"I, my mom's back!"
Su Qingya froze, like someone with a guilty conscience. She quickly pushed Lin Feng away and began to get dressed.
"Not returning early, not returning late, what impeccable timing!"
Lin Feng chuckled helplessly, forcing himself to tidy up his clothes.
Three to five minutes later, Lin Feng and Su Qingya went downstairs as if nothing had happened.
As they descended, they found Zhang Cuihua and the elderly overseas Chinese admiring the scenery in the courtyard.
"Mom, you're back!"
Su Qingya greeted her.
Zhang Cuihua nodded, "Daughter, why has our home changed so much? What's going on?"
"Mom, Lin Feng did this. He tore down our house and rebuilt it."
Su Qingya answered truthfully.
"Tore it down and rebuilt it? And finished so quickly?"
Zhang Cuihua found it incredible, but there was no other explanation for all of this.
"Cuihua, you haven't introduced these two young people to me yet!"
The elderly overseas Chinese reminded her awkwardly.
Zhang Cuihua slapped her forehead, "This is my daughter Su Qingya, and this is my son-in-law Lin Feng."
"This is your Uncle Xu. Mom, Mom..."
As Zhang Cuihua introduced the elderly overseas Chinese, her face flushed, and she stammered slightly.
The elderly overseas Chinese saw this and smiled, "Cuihua, there's no need to be embarrassed. We'll have to make things clear to the children sooner or later."
"My name is Xu Ruhui. I was a sent-down youth in the countryside with your mother when we were young, and then I went abroad to study. Twenty years have passed in a blink of an eye, and I've reunited with your mother after a long separation."
Xu Ruhui narrated briefly.
Su Qingya was a bit confused and didn't quite understand.
"Uncle Xu, so, are you and Mom together now?"
"Qingya, don't you understand? Uncle Xu and your mom were childhood sweethearts, but fate kept us apart. After twenty years, we're ready to rekindle our romance!"
Lin Feng directly revealed it.
Su Qingya blinked, finding it hard to believe.
When her mother left, she said she was going to a relative's place for some matters. Now that she was back, she had brought an old flame.
This...
"Brother Xu, look at this child, she doesn't watch her words. It makes me so embarrassed."
Zhang Cuihua lowered her head in shame, feeling mortified at being exposed by Lin Feng.
"Cuihua, I think what the child said is quite right. We were indeed meant to be but separated by fate, and now after twenty years, we're rekindling our romance!"
Xu Ruhui laughed heartily and looked at Lin Feng with admiration.
"Uncle Xu, let's go inside and talk."
Lin Feng invited them in and signaled Su Qingya to make Xu Ruhui a pot of tea.
Xu Ruhui seemed to really like the house Lin Feng designed and couldn't help but look around.
Zhang Cuihua was also filled with surprise and curiosity about the new home.
"Little Lin, how did you manage this? This house is amazing!"
Zhang Cuihua exclaimed repeatedly.
"Yes, Little Lin's design is truly excellent. This house is fantastic, it has great artistic conception."
Xu Ruhui couldn't help but praise Lin Feng.
"Mom, what exactly is going on between you and Uncle Xu?"
Su Qingya pulled Zhang Cuihua aside, eager to understand.
"What's going on? Your Uncle Xu and I are truly in love. Just because you young people are dating, doesn't mean we can't?"
Zhang Cuihua shot Su Qingya a glare.
"Mom, I don't object to you dating, but do you really know this Uncle Xu? I'm just worried for you..."
"Worried about what? I'm this old, what is there to be afraid of!"
"In short, I won't interfere with your matters, and you shouldn't interfere with mine!"
"It wasn't easy for your Uncle Xu and me to be where we are today. I don't want to miss this opportunity again."
Zhang Cuihua's attitude was firm, her eyes full of affection when speaking of Xu Ruhui.
"Oh, by the way, you should book a restaurant. Uncle Xu's son and daughter-in-law are coming to Qingcheng, so we can all have a meal together."
Zhang Cuihua instructed.
"I understand."
Unable to persuade Zhang Cuihua, Su Qingya relayed the matter of booking a restaurant to Lin Feng.
"No problem, I'll have someone arrange a restaurant right away."
Lin Feng could see the affection Zhang Cuihua had for Xu Ruhui. It was not easy to find someone to love at such an advanced age.
Lin Feng also wanted to help facilitate their relationship.
