Chapter 23

Xia Lu and Auntie Pei Yin were also walking toward Orchid Alley,

Having just finished their meal and drunk some clear wine, they chose to walk.

Looking at the scenery around them,

Auntie Pei Yin couldn't help but sigh, "Xia Lu, the speed of our Great Xia's development is truly fast; these changes are really too great."

"Yes."

Xia Lu nodded: "Senior Sister, in the years you were away, our Great Xia has truly changed a lot. By the way, Senior Sister, Sanyi must be in Gao San soon, right?"

"Mm."

Auntie Pei Yin responded: "I returned to the country because of Sanyi; after all, he is in Gao San now, so we must pay attention."

"By the way, Xia Lu, is Teacher still supervising doctoral students?"

"Mm, my dad can't stay idle; besides, lithography machines and chips have always been his heartache; he still can't let go."

Hearing this, Auntie Pei Yin shook her head helplessly and smiled: "Sigh... Teacher is still that Teacher, but I, this student, am no longer that student."

"Xia Lu, I have disappointed Teacher too much."

"Hey, everyone has their own choices."

Xia Lu smiled: "My dad has also opened up his mind these years; those past matters are all in the past. By the way, Senior Sister, what are your plans after returning?"

"Not yet."

Auntie Pei Yin shook her head: "But I rented a house in Shuxiang Yayuan to supervise Sanyi's studies first..."

As the two were chatting,

they saw a black Kulinan stop at the entrance of the alley,

then,

an old man opened the door, got out, and waved goodbye with a smile.

"My dad?"

Xia Lu was stunned for a moment,

then looked closely at the Kulinan's license plate again: "Isn't this the car of a classmate of mine?"

"Hmm?"

Auntie Pei Yin was somewhat surprised and glanced at the Kulinan,

then smiled: "College students these days are amazing; just started university and already driving a Kulinan. Does he know Teacher?"

"No."

Xia Lu shook her head: "I've only been with him for two days. His name is Qin Feng; he's a sunny handsome guy, just a bit too showy in personality."

"Is that so? Young people these days, who isn't showy? Hehe."

Auntie Pei Yin chuckled and stopped walking: "Xia Lu, let's stop here; I'm afraid Teacher will get angry again if he sees me..."

"That works."

Xia Lu nodded: "Then Senior Sister, you go back; we'll meet up later when you have time."

"Okay, contact via WeChat."

Auntie Pei Yin waved, got into a taxi,

while Xia Lu quickened her steps, then took the old man's arm: "Dad, where did you go again? And you came back in a luxury car?!"

"Hey, it was a warm-hearted young man; he looks especially good and is especially fun."

The old man grinned: "To take me to sell scrap, he actually called the Rolls-Royce a Haval, hahaha; he really thinks I, an old man, don't know English!"

Then,

the old man said somewhat regretfully: "It's just a pity he's only a freshman; otherwise, I'd want him to be my son-in-law."

"Dad~~~"

Xia Lu called out coquettishly, then said helplessly: "Why did you go sell scrap again? And you put the scrap in someone else's car; is the money you got from selling scrap enough to pay for washing their car?"

"Hey, don't mention it; I offered him fifty, but he wouldn't take it; after pushing and shoving for a while, he finally accepted twenty, and even delivered me directly to my doorstep, haha."

"Such a great young man; I wonder which Miss he'll end up benefiting in the future! Daughter, if you don't mind, Dad can help arrange a match? Being a bit older really isn't a problem..."

"Oh my, Dad~~~~!"

Xia Lu stamped her foot, pulled the old man, and walked quickly toward home: "Smell the odor on you; hurry home and take a bath!"

After returning home and showering,

Qin Feng opened WeChat, somewhat puzzled: "It's been a whole day; Auntie Song Qian hasn't even contacted me... Is it because I was too tired last night?"

So,

Qin Feng took the initiative to send a message to Song Qian: "Auntie Song, are you okay?"

At this moment,

Qiao Yingzi was lying on Song Qian's bed,

vividly telling Song Qian about various experiences from the trip,

and although Song Qian was somewhat distracted, she could only listen cooperatively.

"Ding!"

The phone notification sound suddenly rang,

Song Qian opened it and saw the message; her expression changed slightly,

seeing that Yingzi wasn't paying attention to her,

she quickly replied: "I'm doing fine; my daughter suddenly came back early and is chatting with me; I'll talk to you later."

Yingzi is back?

Seeing the message,

Qin Feng thought of Qiao Yingzi from the original drama, thin and weak, nearly driven mad by Song Qian,

so,

Qin Feng replied: "Mm, okay, you two talk first."

Putting down the phone,

he glanced at the empty one-meter-eight large bed,

Qin Feng smiled and shook his head,

it seemed tonight, he would truly have to sleep alone...

Shuxiang Yayuan,

underground garage,

Tong Wenjie, returning late, reversed into a parking spot,

while talking on the phone,

"Fang Yuan, why haven't you come home yet? Can't you pay more attention to your son's matters? He's about to enter Gao San!"

"What do you mean by 'busy'? That broken company of yours, how busy can it possibly be?! No money, no power, working hard for a whole month, and you can't even support your wife and child!"

"Not Fang Yuan, how can you have the nerve to say that to me? Don't you know in your heart why I came back late?"

"If you were like Qiao Weidong, with assets over ten million and no worries about food or drink, I'd stay home every day to wash clothes, cook, and take care of the child for you, would that be okay?!"

"You haven't earned much money, but your mouth is as hard as a duck's; Fang Yifan is so talkative every day, that's inherited from you!"

"Beep beep beep beep..."

Inside the car, the reversing radar alarm suddenly sounded,

but at this moment, Tong Wenjie was fully focused on arguing with Fang Yuan, paying no attention to the alarm prompt sound at all,

"Fang Yuan, let me tell you, I'm tired, I'm really tired, I've had enough of this life of struggling desperately every day!"

"Fang Yuan, I want to divorce you—"

"Bang—!"

A loud crash,

startled Tong Wenjie into immediately turning around,

seeing that she had hit the car behind, Tong Wenjie immediately pulled the handbrake, got out to check,

upon looking,

Tong Wenjie was dumbfounded,

the black car she had hit was actually a Rolls-Royce Kulinan, and the license plate was Jing A66666?!

Carefully examining the crumpled front end she had hit,
