“Xiaotao, I heard from Feng Jing that you’re not feeling well. How are you feeling now?” Feng Ya asked with concern as she walked over to Yin Tao and held her hand.
“It’s alright, Auntie. I’m just a little tired. I’ll be fine after a nap.”
Yin Tao was a little embarrassed by Feng Ya’s concern. After all, she wasn’t actually ill. She just hated the malice Xia Ru and Le Yuan harbored towards her and wanted to go upstairs to hide.
“It’s my fault for not paying attention to you. There were too many people just now.” Feng Ya held Yin Tao’s hand in self-blame and smiled. “Now, the rest are all family members. I have to introduce them to you later.”
When Yin Tao heard Feng Ya’s words, she suddenly felt like fleeing to the room to hide again. After all, she was still a little nervous at the thought of meeting Feng Jing’s family.
“Don’t worry. Our family is very easy going. It’ll just be an ordinary meal later.” Feng Ya saw Yin Tao’s discomfort and comforted her as she pulled her downstairs.
Feng Ya’s words had originally worked, but when Yin Tao saw a few unfamiliar faces at the long table, her anxiety rose.
“Little Sister Xiaotao, come and take a seat here.” When Lin Jia saw Yin Tao being pulled over by Feng Ya, he hurriedly stood up and pulled the chair beside him for Yin Tao.
“Xiao Lin, do you know Xiao Tao?” Feng Ya was a little surprised that Lin Jia seemed to be very familiar with Yin Tao. On second thought, Yin Tao and Lin Jia both worked in City A and were close with Feng Jing. It was normal for them to know each other.
“That’s right, Auntie. Xiaotao’s brother and 1 are very good friends,” Lin Jia explained to Feng Ya naturally, not noticing Feng Ya’s thoughtful expression at all.
Yin Tao looked at the chair Lin Jia pulled out for her and could only silently walk over.
“Hello, babe. My name is Fu Wen. Only the two of us are the same age at this table.”
Yin Tao sat beside Lin Jia. On the other side was a boy who appeared to be less than 20 years old. His facial features were delicate and clean, and he looked cheerful and enthusiastic.
“Hello.” Yin Tao didn’t know what to say. She merely smiled and greeted the boy.
“Kid, who are you implying to be old here?” Lin Jia looked at Fu Wen helplessly and introduced him to Yin Tao. “This kid is Feng Jing’s cousin. He just entered university this year.”
As Lin Jia introduced him to Yin Tao, he reminded Fu Wen, “Xiaotao is also older than you. Call her sister in the future. Don’t horse around.”
“Brother Jia, why are you like my brother now? You’re so boring and mean.” After Fu Wen finished speaking, he felt a chill behind him. Feng Jing’s voice slowly came from behind.
“Boring and mean? Fu Wen, 1 think your life has been too easy since you went to university.”
Feng Jing noticed that the seat beside Yin Tao was occupied by Lin Jia and Fu Wen. He patted Fu Wen’s shoulder and said to him, “Go sit beside Grandpa. He hasn’t seen you for a long time.”
“I just went fishing with Grandpa last month. Brother, you haven’t been home for a long time, right?” Fu Wen had wanted to complain about Feng Jing, but when he noticed his increasingly long face, he tactfully stood up and walked towards the master seat.
Feng Ya watched Feng Jing’s actions from the side and couldn’t help but chuckle. It seemed that her nerdy nephew was not completely ignorant.
“All Jing, quickly introduce Xiao Tao to your parents.” As everyone sat down, Feng Ya quickly instructed Feng Jing.
Yin Tao had long noticed the middle-aged couple sitting beside the master seat, but they hadn’t noticed Feng Jing. Instead, they deliberately avoided looking at him.
In the beginning, Yin Tao still felt that it was a little strange. It had clearly been a long time since they met Feng Jing, but his parents weren’t enthusiastic at all.
“Dad, Mom, this is Yin Tao, a friend of mine who works at the police station.” Feng Jing’s tone was also exceptionally distant. Yin Tao greeted the two people in front of her very politely.
Feng Jing’s parents were very good looking and they are very compatible. Although they were old, Yin Tao could tell that their temperament and appearance were not inferior to Feng Jing when they were young. Feng Jing had inherited their good looks.
“Xiaotao, Ah Jing doesn’t have many friends. You’re welcome to come to our house often.” Feng Jing’s father looked at Yin Tao with a kind gaze and spoke in a friendly tone..
