When I Saw The Returns, I Invested In My Future Wife First

Chapter 88 - 88 Luo Feng, You Are The Pride of Our Entire Extended Family!

88 Luo Feng, You Are The Pride of Our Entire Extended Family!

The news of Luo Feng becoming the top scholar spread like a typhoon to all the relatives on both sides of his parents. The calls at home never stopped. Often, another relative called again just as he said goodbye to one relative.

It was seamless, as if they had discussed it with the stopwatch.

Father and Mother Luo did not want to hold a school promotion banquet because it was too troublesome.

The two of them had followed the relocated factory from their hometown to Crown City. Their relatives and friends were basically all still in their hometown. It was really unnecessary to let them come for a meal. Moreover, the summer holidays were the hottest time of the year.

Originally, they wanted to invite their relatives to gather when they returned to their hometown for the new year. However, their relatives felt that this was a rare joyous occasion. They had to hold it! They had to!

Luo Feng’s Eldest Uncle even said that if Father and Mother Luo didn’t do it, he would do it himself.

Eldest Uncle was the eldest brother in the family. Father Luo did not dare to disobey, so he sent invitations to his relatives to come to Crown City.

At the entrance of the station, Father Luo leaned against the car and said, “Son, do you think my posture is handsome?”

“Be careful of your waist at your age.” Luo Feng saw that his father was wringing like a fried dough twist and didn’t know what to say.

“I haven’t seen your Eldest Uncle in many years. Of course I have to show him my best.” Father Luo chuckled and changed his posture again. He supported his head with one hand and his waist with the other, looking like a big bear that had just eaten its fill.

His Eldest Uncle was more than 10 years older than Father Luo. In the past, Luo Feng’s grandparents were busy farming and spent most of their time in the fields. The children at home relied on his Eldest Uncle to feed them. It wouldn’t be an exaggeration to say that he was half a father.

Even though Father Luo was middle-aged, his Eldest Uncle would habitually nag when the two brothers met. Therefore, Father Luo especially wanted to show his eldest brother that he was doing very well!

“Dad, Eldest Uncle and the others are over there!” Luo Feng pointed at the exit. A man who looked a little like Father Luo walked out of the station with a bouncing girl beside him.

“Cousin! Third Uncle!”

The girl also saw them. She bounced over like an agile lark.She suddenly stopped when she rushed in front of Luo Feng.

Then, she immediately retracted her outstretched arms and said warily, “Who are you?”

“I’m your Elder Brother!” Luo Feng smiled. “It’s been a while since we last met, and Xiaorui has grown so tall that I almost can’t recognize her.”

Luo Xiaorui roared in her heart. I didn’t recognize you! It was Luo Feng from afar just now. Why did he become a handsome man up close? The kind that could cause a girl to blush when their eyes meet!

Luo Feng’s facial features didn’t change much, but his entire temperament was confident and calm. He didn’t seem like a student.

Eldest Uncle walked up and patted his daughter’s head. “Didn’t you say you wanted to give Cousin a big hug in the car just now? Why aren’t you hugging him anymore?”

Luo Xiaorui hid behind her father with mixed feelings. She wanted to hug her cousin, who had been mischievous with her since she was young. She really did not dare to reach out to this steady handsome man!

“Hahaha, you finally know how to be shy.” Luo Feng laughed.

“This girl is really…” Uncle looked at his daughter dotingly, then looked at Luo Feng.

He took a deep breath and sighed at Luo Feng’s change. It was as if he had become a different person from the inside out!

Eldest Uncle patted Luo Feng’s arm and realized that the young man was very strong: “Good! Good! Eldest Uncle is really happy for you!”

He took out two red packets from his pocket as he spoke. The thickness was so obvious that the edges almost burst. “Here! This is a token of appreciation from Eldest Uncle and your Elder Brother Yan. Your sister-in-law is pregnant and it’s not convenient for her to move around, so she asked me to give this to you.”

His Eldest Uncle had two children. His eldest son was already an adult and had a family. His youngest daughter, Luo Xiaorui, was still in her second year of high school.

“No, no!” Luo Feng pushed the red packet back, “This is too much, I can’t accept it!”

“What’s there to be afraid of!” Eldest Uncle stuffed the red packet into Luo Feng’s arms and said firmly, “Your outstanding results are the pride of our family. I’ll be angry if you don’t take it!”

Luo Xiaorui chimed in, “That’s right, Big Brother. Take it!”

If it was in the past, she would definitely smile and ask Luo Feng to give her half. However, Luo Feng had become someone she didn’t dare to approach. Instead, he felt a little distant.

Luo Feng helplessly accepted: “Alright, thank you Eldest Uncle.”

The three of them chatted and laughed, not seeing Father Luo at all. Finally, his eldest brother noticed him before his arm went numb.

“Big Brother, get in the car first. It’s almost time to eat,” Father Luo greeted.

The few of them got into the car. Halfway through, Eldest Uncle finally noticed the interior of the car. He touched it and said, “This car looks new. Why didn’t I hear you mention it?”

“Little Feng bought it and received it a few days ago so I didn’t have the time to tell you.” Father Luo couldn’t help but smile.

Eldest Uncle had heard about the milk tea shop and praised Luo Feng even more, “Little Feng will definitely be the most promising child in our family in the future. Third brother, you taught him well!”

Father Luo kept nodding and smiling, but he felt that he did not contribute much to this matter. It seemed that Ai Tingya’s contribution was greater.

Luo Xiaorui drooled as she listened. A girl her age was milk tea’s target customer. She was too embarrassed to tell Luo Feng, so she had mixed feelings.

After a while, the car stopped at the entrance of the hotel.

Father Luo still had to pick up the others, so Luo Feng led the two of them upstairs.

A huge banner hung at the top of the 3rd floor hall: “Luo Feng and Ai Tingya’s school promotion banquet”.

Luo Xiaorui stared at the banner and felt that it was a little strange. Why didn’t it look like a school promotion banquet? It looked more like an engagement party? Who was this Ai Tingya?

She pushed the door open and entered. All 30 tables had been reserved. Luo Xiaorui’s mouth fell open. She had never eaten such a lively meal.

Luo Feng’s classmates and teachers alone took up five tables. His relatives and friends chatted happily, and it was even more lively than the New Year!

Luo Feng arranged for his uncle and cousin to sit down before rushing to greet the others.

Mother Luo called out to her colleagues and smiled from ear to ear. The moment she saw Luo Feng, she pulled him and said, “Have you seen Tingya? Why haven’t I seen her?”

“She should be greeting the students.” Luo Feng said.

Mother Luo had long treated Ai Tingya as family. She thought that no one would hold a banquet for her in the orphanage, so she simply held it for both of them together.

The four of them had discussed that Father Luo would be in charge of picking them up, Mother Luo would be in charge of greeting her relatives and friends, and Ai Tingya would be in charge of greeting her classmates and teachers before the meeting. Luo Feng, on the other hand, was flexible and would go wherever there was a need for someone to be there.

Luo Feng thought that his mother had something to say to her, so he said, “Go greet them first, I’ll go find her.”

He walked through the crowd to the innermost table and saw Ai Tingya talking to a girl in her class. She was wearing a light green dress today and looked very delicate and beautiful. The male students who were already sitting down were stunned.

Luo Feng walked over and pulled her back. “Tingya, my mom is looking for you. Come over.”
