Chapter 90 - People from Beijing

For the entire night, Ji Feng didn't sleep well. He had been thinking about what kind of person that uncle who suddenly popped up was, why would he suddenly come looking for him?

He had lived here with his mother for more than ten years, but he had never seen anyone come to look for him!

Ji Feng didn't quite understand what was going on. Looking at the time, it was already early in the morning. He stopped thinking about it, closed his eyes, and entered a state of deep slumber. Right now, he didn't dare to actually sleep, because in the room inside, there was still his mother. If there really were people with ill intentions, then it would be too late for Ji Feng to regret.

Fortunately, the whole night went by without incident. Under the stimulation of the bioelectric currents, Ji Feng did not appear exhausted even if he did not sleep for a whole night. Rather, he appeared to be in high spirits.

At dawn, he quickly got out of bed, closed the sofa, and went downstairs to wash up.

When he was done, he sat on the sofa in the living room and waited for his mother to get up. He knew that since his uncle, Ji Zhenping, was here, his mother would not go out to sell vegetables.

Sure enough, in a moment, Xiao Sumei opened the door and walked out. When she saw Ji Feng sitting on the sofa, she was momentarily stunned. She immediately thought of something and felt relieved.

In fact, Xiao Sumei was very clear that Ji Feng really wanted to know about her father's situation. There was no child who didn't long to be loved by their parents. Although Ji Feng appeared strong, he was no exception.

However, when she thought of that man, she couldn't help but feel sad. If it wasn't for that, she wouldn't have left without saying goodbye at that time.

But now, Xiao Sumei knew that she wouldn't be able to avoid it.

”Feng'er, why are you up so early?” Xiao Sumei asked softly.

”It's nothing. I can't sleep.” ”Mom, I've made breakfast.”

Xiao Sumei couldn't help but smile with relief. During this year, her son had indeed changed a lot. Not only had he become more confident and open-minded, he even knew how to help her. This made her very happy.

”Dong, dong, dong!” Knock! Knock! Knock!

Ji Feng froze for a moment. He glanced at his mother, then stood up and opened the door.

The person standing outside the door was indeed Ji Zhenping. When he saw Ji Feng, he gave a slight smile. ”Kid, you don't know how to call for help?”

Ji Feng ignored him and returned to the living room. Only the heavens knew where this uncle of his came from. After living together with his mother for so many years, for Ji Feng to suddenly call a stranger uncle, he really couldn't call him that.

Even though Ji Feng knew that Ji Zhenping might really be his own uncle.

”This kid...” Ji Zhenping was surprised to see Ji Feng completely ignoring him. He shook his head and smiled wryly. He thought to himself, ”This kid's personality is really like that of a big brother, yet he's so stubborn.”

”Good morning, sister-in-law!” As soon as Ji Zhenping entered the living room, he said with a smile on his face.

Xiao Sumei glared at him but did not correct him. She knew Ji Zhenping's character. He was a cunning fellow. He had always been a man of his word. However, he had always treated her with respect.

”Yi?” Eating breakfast? ” Ji Zhenping looked at the breakfast on the table and laughed. ”I haven't eaten either. What a coincidence.”

Ji Zhenping sat down and started to eat without waiting for any greetings.

Ji Feng knitted his brows as he glanced at Qin Wentian. However, he could feel the closeness between them, so he didn't say anything. He merely ate a few bites and it would be over.

”Eldest sister-in-law, come back with me today.” As soon as he finished his meal, Ji Zhenping said impatiently, ”You know what, sister-in-law. Be it eldest brother or the family's old man, they both wish for you to go back. Even though eldest brother was at fault, it's still over, isn't it?” Moreover, that matter … Sigh, how could I say it? As your little brother, I'm not too sure either. ”

”Sans, don't say anymore, I won't go back with you.” Xiao Sumei shook her head.

Ji Zhenping's face immediately fell. With a bitter face, he said, ”Sister-in-law, take pity on San-zi. If you don't come back with me, Big Bro will send me to Mang s.h.i.+ County to protect Sister-in-law.”

Xiao Sumei was also amused by his grimace and could not help but rebuke him, ”What? You're not willing to protect me?”

”How could that be possible, sister-in-law? As long as you say it, I will go through fire and tread through water without any hesitation!” Ji Zhenping patted his chest before shaking his head. ”But sister-in-law, Mang s.h.i.+ County's highest ranked minister is only at the Regiment rank. Pity me, a vice general, as your commander. If you want to come here, just become your captain. Sister-in-law, please be lenient!”

”You're still the same as before, a fan of government officials!” Xiao Sumei glared at him, a smile appearing on her face. From the looks of it, her relations.h.i.+p with this Ji Zhenping was not bad, and he was also very respectful towards Xiao Susu. Otherwise, how could the teacher in charge of the mansion be so respectful to an ordinary lady who sold vegetables?

”Sister-in-law, I'll tell you the truth. I knew you wouldn't come with me last night, especially after that stinking brat Ji Feng showed off his skills. You're even more unwilling to come with me.”

Ji Zhenping shook his head with a wry smile. ”That's why I called boss last night.”

”Why did you call him?!” Xiao Sumei glared at him and her expression darkened.

Ji Zhenping said bitterly, ”Sister-in-law, you can't just hide like that. I came here because Big Bro told me to. Can't I call him? ”

Xiao Sumei glared at him but did not speak.

”Sister-in-law, big brother should be on his way by now. No, if I'm not wrong, he should be in Mang s.h.i.+ County by now.” Ji Zhenping said.

”You-!” Xiao Sumei glared at Ji Zhenping angrily. ”You little brat, how did you manage that? Who told you to tell him? ”

Ji Zhenping was so scolded that he had to hide his face and smile apologetically.

”Never mind, since that's the case, I'll go with you.” Xiao Sumei shook her head and angrily said, ”I won't let him find me. We'll leave Mang s.h.i.+ County from another direction.”

Ji Zhenping was overjoyed. As long as his sister-in-law agreed to leave with him, anything would be fine with him.

”Remember, you are not allowed to call him. Otherwise, I will never forgive you!” Xiao Sumei said coldly.

Ji Zhenping was scared and hurriedly said, ”Sister-in-law, I promise you, I won't. Don't be angry!”

Ji Feng looked deeply at Ji Zhenping, a pensive look appearing in his eyes.

”Beep! Beep! Beep!”
