Chapter 138: Chapter 138: The In-Laws Are Very Satisfied
"Ah, old man, how should I bring this up?" Aunt Yun looked at the busy figure in the kitchen and couldnāt help but feel a bit worried.
Yun Yang laughed, "Whatās the matter? Canāt bring yourself to say it in person?"
Aunt Yun whispered, "Yes, I was hoping to find some fault in Ting Yu to persuade Ling Feng, but now..."
The moment Ling Feng walked in with Liu Tingyu, Aunt Yun was initially stunned by her. Such a pure, endearing, sunny, and adorable girl ā could she really be Xiao Fengās girlfriend?
Although somewhat reluctant to admit it, Aunt Yun had to acknowledge that Liu Tingyuās appearance was no less charming than Xiao Ruiās.
To her greater surprise, Liu Tingyuās behavior was even more astonishing. After she entered, she politely greeted Yun Yang and Aunt Yun, then immediately took off her coat, put on an apron, and took over the work Aunt Yun was doing.
"Auntie, we, the younger generation, are already embarrassed to come over for a meal. Let Ling Feng and I handle these kitchen chores!" Liu Tingyu said with a soft smile, displaying an irresistible charm on her face.
Aunt Yun had assumed Liu Tingyu was the delicate type, but she was surprised to find Liuās movements were hardly inferior to her own; she was obviously a self-sufficient girl!
Recalling her own daughter, Yun Hanrui, who treated the kitchen like Hell, Aunt Yun couldnāt help but feel a twinge of disappointment ā in terms of culinary skills, her own girl was utterly outmatched!
Furthermore, as Liu Tingyu was preparing the ingredients, she was also chatting with Aunt Yun, which unknowingly created a strong affinity for her in Aunt Yunās heart, causing her much dilemma.
Thatās why she took a moment to complain to her husband.
Yun Yang said with a smile, "Ting Yu is a very nice girl, not only beautiful but also down-to-earth, outgoing, and unafraid of public attention. Whatās even more precious is that her eyes are filled with affection for Xiao Feng. I have no idea what kind of good deeds he did in his past life to win the favor of such a wonderful girl."
"Hey, hey, you old fool, itās Xiao Rui Iām worried about now," Aunt Yun said in a low voice. "Ting Yu is a good girl, but what about Xiao Rui?"
"Children and grandchildren have their own luck," Yun Yang said quietly, putting down his book. "I believe that if Xiao Rui is truly meant for Xiao Feng, they will surely end up together in the end. If not, thereās nothing we can do. In the world of love, some things must be experienced by oneself. Even if there might be hurt, I believe that eventually, after the bitterness, sweetness will follow."
"Auntie, Iāve finished preparing the vegetables in the kitchen. What do we do now?" At this moment, Liu Tingyuās crisp voice reached them.
"That was quick. Take a break for now!" Aunt Yun said with some tender concern as she went over to untie Liu Tingyuās apron. "Weāll get started on dinner later. Come and have a chat with auntie now."
Looking at the spotless kitchen and the neatly prepared ingredients, a look of satisfaction flashed in Aunt Yunās eyes. Liu Tingyuās excellence had truly exceeded her expectations!
How could Aunt Yun have the heart to "beat the mandarin ducks" when faced with such a well-behaved, cute, and pretty girl?
"Forget it, Xiao Rui, itās not that I donāt want to help you, but... I really canāt bear to hurt Ting Yu!" Aunt Yun sighed inwardly.
After all, Aunt Yun regarded Ling Feng as her own son. Seeing him find such a good girl, she was genuinely happy and delighted from the bottom of her heart.
In the living room, the two women whispered and occasionally burst into laughter, while Yun Yang and Ling Feng walked into the study.
"How is the case going?" Yun Yang asked.
"Everythingās going smoothly. Liu Xin faces multiple charges, and even though the number of death penalty verdicts has been reduced, given the extremely negative social impact of his actions, heās very likely to be sentenced to death!" Ling Feng replied.
"Ah, originally, I and the old principal had planned to quietly clear up Deng Yuanqingās matter, but then Liu Xinās case came up and got tangled with Dengās. Although everything has been resolved now, it has dealt a big blow to Yan Universityās reputation," lamented Yun Yang with a sigh.
Ling Feng fell silent. After all, a scandal emerging from a nationally renowned institution was a matter that brought disgrace.
Although itās said that a big forest will have all kinds of birds, it also revealed some shortcomings within the school.
"Uncle Yun, you canāt blame me for this!" Ling Feng said with a wry smile.
šš«šš²šššÆššØš§šš.šš š¦
Yun Yang smiled and said, "Of course I know I canāt blame you. Iām just feeling a bit sentimental. The former principal also spoke to me yesterday, hoping I would agree to something."
Ling Fengās mouth twitched, "This matter wouldnāt have anything to do with me, would it?"
"Itās not directly related to you!"
"Thatās a relief..."
"Itās related to Ting Yu..."
Ling Feng felt as if he was choking on his food, "What about her?"
Yun Yang said gently, "Iāve seen Liu Tingyuās grades, too. For four years, sheās been in the top three of her department. Her performance is excellent; sheās a good child. So, the old principal wanted to persuade her to continue applying for graduate studies at Yan University. With her grades, a recommendation shouldnāt be a problem."
Ling Fengās brows furrowed slightly; he began to understand. Liu Tingyuās grades were one thing, but was this an attempt to mitigate Yan Universityās impact due to the scandal?
"Iām not the one to decide on this matter," Ling Feng said softly. "Although I understand the schoolās position, Ting Yu is my girlfriend, so I still hold some grudges against the school. This matter requires Ting Yu to make her own decision."
Yun Yang sighed, "Actually, Iād rather not get involved in this matter either. Xiao Feng, Yan University is a place where Guo Liang and I have dedicated our lives..."
"I understand, Uncle Yun. Iāll talk to Ting Yu about this, but whether she agrees or not is beyond my control," Ling Feng said with a bitter smile.
Yun Yang breathed a sigh of relief, "That would be for the best!"
As time passed, dinner time arrived quickly. Aunt Yun also entered the kitchen to start working. This time she refused Liu Tingyuās offer to help, saying she wanted to show her some of her signature dishes.
In the office of Chaoyang Biotechnology, Yun Hanrui was organizing the last of her work.
"Han Rui, are you not finished yet?" Lin Zhijie, dressed in an Animar suit, combined with his tall stature and confident smile, was a handsome man in his own right.
"Just about done. You should go to the garage first, brother. Iāll be done soon," Yun Hanrui said with a slight smile.
After tidying up the last of the documents, Yun Hanrui stretched and stood up, when suddenly a sharp pain surged from her stomach throughout her body.
"Not good, my stomach issue is acting up again!" Yun Hanrui hadnāt eaten much throughout the day, and now her stomach was protesting once more.
Enduring the intense pain, Yun Hanrui took out a box of medicine from the drawer. After taking two pills, she felt some relief.
"Ah!" Yun Hanruiās heart inexplicably soured, "Damn Ling Feng, stinky Ling Feng, I hate you the most!!"
