221 SHE WAS WRONG (2/2)

”We will talk about it later. Just be careful.”

Hu Lei did not want to leave things like that, but she did not insist. ”I am always careful. Don't worry.”

After hanging up, she looked at herself in the mirror again. She twirled in front of the mirror and touched up her makeup before feeling like she was perfectly presentable. She really wanted to make a great impression as an elder for Fai.

Even if she was inadequate, she needed to keep up appearances.

Less than thirty minutes later, the driver dropped her off at the Area 99 house. She thanked him before walking to the entrance. She noticed an unusual vehicle parked outside, but she could not be sure that it did not belong to Ah-Feng. Still, she felt that it was strange that it was not in the garage.

When she entered the house, her entire body became stiff as she realised that she had been wrong.

”Hello Auntie, hello uncle.” She recovered as quickly as she could.

If she had known that she would meet with this kind of situation, she would have taken the scenic route.

Chu Ling and Zhong Tian looked at the young woman with surprise. They had not been expecting that she would show up alone. Actually, they had been waiting for the couple to come home because they had received word that they would be staying in Area 99 for the night.

Chu Ling stood up and moved towards Hu Lei and greeted her warmly. ”We are sorry for intruding. How have you been?”

Hu Lei felt like she had turned into stone as Zhong Feng's mother reached for her hands. Had she crossed to a parallel universe? Had her tether to reality finally broken and she was having a hallucination? Aaaaah!!!! Where was Ah-Feng when she needed him?

”You are scaring the girl. Let her at least sit down.” Zhong Tian spoke up in his usual energetic manner.

Chu Ling laughed in a slightly embarrassed manner before returning to her seat. Hu Lei also found her way to one of the chairs. There was a long moment of silence before Hu Lei felt like she could not bear the situation anymore.

”Ah-Feng will not be back until a little later.” She said. ”Should I call him and let him know that you are here?”

Chu Ling and Zhong Tian looked at each other before the woman spoke. ”We were actually hoping to talk you. Of course, we want to see Ah-Feng too, but our primary goal was to speak with you.”

Hu Lei's body became stiff again. Since she had come back to Supreme City, she had not had good experiences with people who wanted to 'speak with her'. Still, she was not easily fazed.

”What can I do for you?” She asked the in-laws with a disarming smile.
