Chapter 268 - Sudden Incidents
Before she decided to go to the Xiao family, Xiao Yu Xuan gave them a call and informed them in advance.
It was Mother Xiao who answered the phone. When she heard that Ji Feng was coming as well, Mother Xiao was immediately overjoyed.
Xiao Zhanghe and his wife were extremely satisfied with their future son-in-law. Although they were born in a n.o.ble family, they did not have the arrogance of a descendant of a n.o.ble family. Afterwards, the two elders heard Xiao Yu Xuan's introduction to Ji Feng's growth and were immediately filled with emotion.
It was said that the poor would start their career early. Ji Feng's example could be considered to be one of the most typical examples.
The two elders naturally couldn't be more satisfied with such an outstanding future son-in-law. Thus, in the early morning, Xiao Luo's mother went to the market to prepare a sumptuous lunch for Ji Feng and her daughter.
Xiao Zhanghe could only smile at his wife's enthusiasm. If he saw that his wife was busy, he would stand beside her and help.
”Old Xiao, help me clean out this fish.” Mother Xiao pa.s.sed the fish that she had just bought back to her husband, ”Remember to be careful, don't let the courage burst, otherwise the entire fish will suffer greatly. This is the first time Xuanxuan and Little Feng have officially come to our house, we can't let them suffer bitterly!”
”Alright, don't worry. It's not like you don't know my cooking skills, hehe …” Xiao Zhanghe could not help but smile as he shook his head, accepting the fish from his wife.
When Xiao Zhanghe was young, he had worked in restaurants and worked under a master. Thus, he could be considered to have some attainments in the culinary arts. Usually, his mother would leave food that was difficult to handle to him.
”It's rare to see a chance to show off your culinary skills. How about you cook dinner for me and I'll be your a.s.sistant?” Mother Xiao said with a smile.
Xiao Zhanghe nodded with a smile. ”That's fine too. I'll do it.”
The old couple talked while they processed the various food.
Looking at Madam's busy figure and her slightly white temples, Xiao Zhanghe chuckled. His daughter had already grown up and was about to get married …
Furthermore, his future son-in-law was a pretty good young man. Xiao Zhanghe was very satisfied, but felt that he and his wife had really aged.
The charming figure from back then could still be seen between Madam's brows.
”The pa.s.sing of time will not spare us!” Xiao Zhanghe could not help but sigh with emotion, ”In the blink of an eye, my daughter already has a boyfriend …”
”What, do you feel old?” Mother Xiao asked with a smile.
”Hur hur, so what if I'm old? In any case, if I have a daughter's filial piety in the future, my son-in-law is not bad, so I don't have anything to worry about.” Xiao Zhanghe laughed in a deep and mellow manner, ”If you really want to worry, you only need to work for the company. After working for so many years, it's about time that you hand it over to your daughter.”
In order to live, he had unintentionally become a drug promotional staff. From the difficult task of starting a new business, to his current prosperity, he had been working hard for decades. When he thought of how he was gradually getting old and would hand over the company to his daughter one day, he could not help but feel empty in his heart.
”You just can't stay idle.” Mother Xiao complained, ”You've worked hard for this family for all these years. It's time to rest.”
Xiao Zhanghe just smiled, but didn't reply.
Mother Xiao still wanted to say something, but the doorbell suddenly rang. Her eyes immediately lit up: ”It must be Xuan Xuan Xuan and Little Feng. I'll go open the door. Old man, you should hurry and take care of it!”
Ji Feng should have come to the Xiao family a long time ago, but since it was his first time here, he naturally wouldn't come empty-handed. Thus, he drove to a nearby supermarket and bought some gifts.
”h.e.l.lo Auntie, Yanxuan and I are here to visit you!” Ji Feng said to his mother with a smile.
”Good!” ”Alright!” Xiao Mu's mother was grinning from ear to ear. She wiped her hands on her ap.r.o.n and was about to take the item from Ji Feng. ”Child, you've come so quickly. Why are you taking anything? Come on in.”
”Auntie, let me do it.” Of course, Ji Feng couldn't let his mother carry the things. He smilingly carried the gifts into the Xiao family's villa, only to discover that Xiao Changhe was busy in the kitchen.
”Dad, are you going to cook today?” Xiao Yu Xuan giggled as she ran into the kitchen. She held Xiao Zhanghe's neck and said coquettishly, ”I love to eat father's pickled fish the most. I'm so lucky today!”
”Little girl, Little Feng is still here. You still haven't changed your appearance, go and accompany Little Feng in the living room. Daddy's so busy now!” Xiao Zhanghe doted on his daughter very much. Otherwise, he wouldn't have agreed to the matter between his daughter and He Dong just because of his daughter's insistence.
Fortunately, his daughter had woken up from her stupor. Otherwise, Xiao Zhanghe would never have been able to rest in peace.
Xiao Yuxuan naturally knew how much her father doted on her. She giggled and said, ”It's alright, he doesn't talk much and doesn't need anyone to accompany him. I'm still accompanying my father. I haven't seen him for many days!”
At this time, Xiao Ma walked in and scolded him, ”Girl, hurry up and go out to talk to Xiao Feng. Let him sit there by himself. How uncomfortable!”
Xiao Yu Xuan spat and quickly ran out.
Ji Feng didn't feel uncomfortable at all. With his personality, he would be able to stay as steady as Mt. Tai no matter where he went, even if he had to visit his future father-in-law and mother-in-law's home.
At this moment, he was looking at the paintings on the walls of the Xiao family's villa. Although there were only eight horses, they had the aura of ten thousand horses galloping.
On the other hand, there was a picture of a fierce tiger descending from the mountains. The tiger was vivid and lifelike, and the aura of a king made people secretly sigh in admiration.
”It seems that when Yu Xuan's father was young, he definitely had great ambitions!” Ji Feng thought to himself, 'From these two paintings, one can see that Xiao Zhanghe built this company bare-handed because he was fighting with great ambition in his heart.
