Chapter 441 - Jiang Fei’s Baseline (2/2)
When Jiang Fei's mother was out of sight, Jiang Fei immediately gestured the twins to leave his house. Even though he had agreed with Han Tianyu to try and get the girls, he could not allow his family to be involved in this hostile society.
Yang Qing clearly saw and understood Jiang Fei's gesture. She stood up and smiled but rushed straight into the kitchen.
"Yay! Thanks auntie! I want to help out too!" cried Yang Qing as she disappeared into the kitchen. (1)
Jiang Fei turned to Yang Po, who was smiling calmly and sweetly, and said, "Come with me."
Once Jiang Fei led Yang Po into his room, he sat down on his bed, crossed his legs and asked, "What is your goal here? What are the two of you doing in my house?"
Jiang Fei was desperate. There were many things that he could solve on his own and sometimes with the help of Han Tianyu. However, when it came to the safety of his parents, Jiang Fei would not compromise anything to ensure his parent's wellbeing.
"Hmm," Yang Po hummed.
She sat down on Jiang Fei's desk and smiled. It was an innocent smile. The same kind of smile that Yang Qing had always had on her face. The difference was huge. Unlike Yang Qing who was always smiling, seeing Yang Po who never smiled was a refreshing feeling. She… looked beautiful when she smiled. Jiang Fei could not help but stare at her and his heart skipped a beat.
"Cough!"
Jiang Fei realized that he was losing his ground when he stared at her and decided to just… brush it off.
"Jiang Fei, rest assured that we had no intention to cause any harm to your parents. They were merely there when we came to the house to talk to you. In front of your parents, we would be normal girls. We are nothing but classmates. That is all your mother would know," said Yang Po calmly.
Contrary to her explanation, their plan was to get through his parents in order to secure Jiang Fei. However, when Yang Po saw just how desperate Jiang Fei was when his parents were only slightly involved, Yang Po changed her mind.
The original plan was to slowly make contact and establish a close relationship with Jiang Fei's parents. Once they were close enough, the twins would introduce them to the world of Metahumans. Through the protection and assistance of the Aquamoon Heavenly Palace, they wanted to provide Jiang Fei's parents with benefits that even they could not reject. Alas, once it all worked out smoothly, Jiang Fei would be directly involved with them.
"Listen to me very closely. My parents are not going to know about anything related to the alliance, martial arts, fights, mutant, and all the crap that are in this f*cked up society. Whatever you want to do, do not involve my parents. Do you understand?" said Jiang Fei slowly and clearly.
"I understand. Like I said, we are nothing but classmates and a good neighbor. That is all we will ever be," said Yang Po as she smiled once more.
"Big brother Jiang Fei! Sister! Where are you guys?!" cried Yang Qing from the living room.
"I don't need to say this twice now. Control your sister, or else," said Jiang Fei threateningly.
"Or what?" Yang Po interrupted immediately.
At this moment, the door opened and Yang Qing came in.
"Brother Jiang Fei, you shouldn't be threatening a girl! That's not very gentleman-like, is it?"

In most Asian countries such as Singapore, Malaysia, Philippine, Indonesia, Japan, China, and many others, people do not directly address an acquaintance's mother via their names. Instead, they would address someone's mother as "auntie" and father as "uncle".
