Chapter 573: Chapter 571: The Final Gift
Jiang Feng only managed to mooch a meal when Professor Li and the others had just started eating, and everyone welcomed his freeloading.
Through the entire meal, Jiang Feng was the busiest of all; he had to occasionally echo Zheng Da’s remarks, help Chen Suhua join the conversation, talk about thesis matters with Professor Li, show concern for Master Huang’s health, and spend the rest of the time listening to Zheng Siyuan analyze the pastries he bought from the Court pastry shop the day before.
Jiang Feng was busy with his mouth and ears the entire time, gaining firsthand experience of how tough it was to be a social expert like his great-aunt.
As the meal neared its end, Jiang Feng finally seized the opportunity to ask Professor Li about Fang Yaqing.
“Grandpa-in-law, the sister we met just now doesn’t seem to be a local from Beiping, does she? Her accent sounds southern to me,” Jiang Feng said.
“Your Sister Fang indeed isn’t from Beiping; she’s from Gusu,” Professor Li replied.
“Gusu?” Chen Suhua, who had been focused on her soup, suddenly looked up, realizing something, “Isn’t that girl Fang’s daughter then?”
Professor Li nodded, “That’s right.”
“Does she know about what happened back then?” Chen Suhua asked softly.
“Xie mentioned it when he came over before the New Year; he also feels that she probably doesn’t know. It’s been over ten years, there’s no need to bring it up again,” Professor Li, who clearly didn’t want to talk about this at the dining table, said in a low voice to Jiang Feng, “I’ll tell you more about it on the way home.”
Jiang Feng nodded, not asking further.
The meal ended quickly; the main reason everyone gathered for this meal was just to see each other and become familiar faces. After all, they weren’t very close relatives, and they probably wouldn’t have much to do with each other in the future.
When leaving, Zheng Da subtly tugged at Jiang Feng’s coat to signal he had something to say and cast a special glance at Zheng Siyuan.
“Jiang, during the meal, Siyuan’s boss sent me a message saying they found a suitable girl and could arrange a blind date for Siyuan in the next few days. I’ll be relying on you then, and I’ll notify you once the specific time is confirmed,” Zheng Da whispered.
