Chapter 84 Wives, You Are Good

Xinye; ideally, someone should whisk this little rascal away so she wouldn't continue playing pranks every day."And how shall I address you" Han Xinye asked softly.“I’m Chen Maidong. I'm from Nanjian...Main Text Chapter 84: Nice to Meet You, Sister-in-law

As he looked at Sheng Fei and her mother who came out to greet him, Wang Zheng's vision blurred instantly. Of course, with his adjustment capabilities, his eyes cleared up after just a few seconds. The complicated expression vanished right away, replaced by an enthusiastic and friendly demeanor

Of course, this friendly demeanor was genuinely coming from the depths of his heart. Apart from those comrades-in-arms, Wang Zheng didn’t have many true relatives in this world; all the family members of Dragon Scale Special Forces were like his own family. Naturally, towards Sheng Fei and her mother, who was also the widow of an old comrade, Wang Zheng felt a mixture of emotions he couldn't quite put into words, along with a heavy sense of responsibility.

Very friendly, they're all part of Wang Zheng's family.

Sheng Fei held her mother’s hand and introduced them with a smile: "Mom, this is Shi Shi, my best friend. This gentleman here is Wang Zheng; he's also my good friend."

Upper Official Po Po was very sweet-tongued; before Sheng Fei’s mother could speak, she had already said in a sweet voice: "Hello, Auntie, I often hear my sister talk about you. I’ve been wanting to come and visit for a long time."

Sheng Fei's mother was delighted when she saw how well-behaved Upper Official Po Po was and how pretty she looked, saying happily: "I also frequently hear Sheng Fei mention you. If it weren’t for your help, my daughter would have had a much harder time in the capital city. I should thank you."

Sheng Fei’s mother turned to Wang Zheng: "This handsome young man is called Wang Zheng She didn't mention him before."

A flicker of alertness flashed across Feylin's eyes as Sheng Fei introduced Wang Zheng as her friend and a male friend. This couldn’t help but pique Feylin’s interest.

Wang Zheng smiled and answered: "Nice to meet you, sister-in-law. I've been wanting to visit for a long time but never managed to find the time."

In fact, nobody knew that in the past four years, Wang Zheng had actually come here many times, only to leave silently each time.

Sister-in-law Sister-in-law!

The moment Wang Zheng spoke these words, both Sheng Fei and Upper Official Po Po froze, along with Sheng Fei’s mother's smile.

"Wang Zheng, what do you think you're doing" Shangguan Shishi pinched Wang Zheng and whispered, "Are your brains on fire Are you speaking nonsense"

Sheng Fei smiled and said, "Wang Zheng, you can't behave like this. How could you come to our hometown and take advantage of me If you call my mom 'sister-in-law,' wouldn’t I have to call you uncle then"

The previous time Wang Zheng called her mother "sister-in-law," he did so naturally, but seeing their shocked expressions made him realize that he shouldn't be doing it at this moment.

Wang Zheng always directly addressed Sheng Zaichao as 'Old Sheng,' so there was nothing inappropriate about calling his wife "sister-in-law." However, to people like Sheng Fei, Wang Zheng sounded a bit foolish.

"Uh, mainly because you look so young that I just blurted it out," Wang Zheng scratched the back of his head awkwardly and said, "Hello auntie, sorry about earlier."

The mother of Sheng Fei was delighted by Wang Zheng's seemingly sincere words.

"Sure, sure. You really are a charming guy; Sheng Fei is not having an easy time in the capital, so you need to take care of her more," said Sheng Fei’s mom.

"Certainly, certainly." Wang Zheng felt somewhat embarrassed due to his earlier mistake, while Sheng Fei was laughing heartily next to him and even made a mouth gesture to Shangguan Shishi that read "flatterer."

Upon hearing the mother of Sheng Fei instructing Wang Zheng like this, Feilin felt slightly uncomfortable. Stepping forward, he extended his hand towards Wang Zheng: "Hello, my name is Feilin; I was in the same class as Sheng Fei during elementary school and work in Beijing as well. Currently residing at Chengzhi Home in the Third Ring Road."

Wang Zheng shook hands with Feilin and also introduced himself: "My name is Wang Zheng. This year, I started working in Beijing and haven’t found a place to live yet, so I’m currently staying elsewhere; besides, I haven't heard of this Chengzhi Home complex."

As soon as he finished speaking, Wang Zheng felt his ribs being tightly pinched for two rounds, which hurt him nearly causing him to suck in air.

Wang Zheng could instantly see through Feilin's intentions. No one introduces themselves with where they live right off the bat; obviously, this address within the Second Ring Road gave this person named Feilin a certain sense of accomplishment.

Feilin seemed to laugh heartily and said, "Alright then, when you have free time, come over more often. We outsiders don't have it easy in Beijing, so when we can help each other out, let's lend a hand—after all, unity is strength."

"Sure, definitely," Wang Zheng replied.

"Oh, by the way, what do you do in the capital" Fering asked.

Wang Zheng glanced at Shangguan Shishi and appeared embarrassed: "I work as a security guard at a company, and I also moonlight as a driver."

After saying that, Wang Zheng felt his waist being squeezed again.

"Oh, is that so" A hint of satisfaction flashed in Fering's eyes. It seemed that this guy’s job really couldn’t compete with him.

"Security guards must have a lot of free time, right I’m usually quite busy. My meetings generally go on until nine or ten at night. When I have some free time, we can get together for dinner," Sheng Lin said with a smile and patted Wang Zheng’s shoulder.

"What the hell does he think he is to pat my shoulder" Wang Zheng thought in his heart.

Shangguan Shishi saw through Wang Zheng's intentions. She loosened her grip on his waist and said with a smile: "President Wang, there’s no need for you to be modest; your Mercedes-Benz worth ten million is parked right outside the door. Do you still want to pretend to be just another security guard"

"Welcome! Don’t stand at the door anymore. Come in and chat with everyone," Sheng Lin's mother warmly invited them. She didn't really understand what the youngsters were saying about "Hers" or "President." Feng Ling was momentarily confused, unsure whether their words were true or not. He had to pretend to be very composed and escorted Shangguan Shishi and Wang Zheng into the living room.

The house was well decorated and clean, making Wang Zheng feel a natural sense of warmth. After pouring tea for Wang Zheng and Shangguan Shishi, Sheng Lin's mother quickly brought out two plates of five-spice peanuts from the inner room.

"These are our homegrown peanuts. They grew really well this year; look how big they are! I pulled them up in the morning, washed them thoroughly and seasoned them before cooking them. Please give it a try," Sheng Lin's mother said enthusiastically. Her words touched both Wang Zheng and Shangguan Shishi deeply. Shangguan Shishi hurriedly picked a peanut, peeled it, popped it into her mouth, and exclaimed how delicious it was; this made Sheng Lin’s mother even happier. Holding his cup of tea, Wang Zheng observed the scene with a smile on his face. After taking a sip of tea, he seemed to recall something and examined the faint green color in the glass cup.

It smelled so familiar!

This was made from dried flower buds of locust trees steeped in hot water. People said this tea could clear heat and improve eyesight; locals were used to drinking it, even if it didn’t have a name. Wang Zheng was familiar with the taste because of Old Sheng. Old Sheng had a portable teapot that contained these dried locust flowers. Whenever he missed home or his daughter, he would prepare this tea for himself and say that it carried the scent of home. However, Sheng Fei wasn’t used to drinking such tea; she had been studying outside since young, making coffee her preferred choice.

Whenever Old Sheng drank this tea while talking about how much he missed his family and daughter, Wang Zheng would always console him with a smile: "You’re already at the rank of Senior Sergeant Major. Once you train out another team of Dragon Scale members, the old man will finally let you retire."

Laosheng would shake his head and smile bitterly, saying, "I have worn this military uniform for my whole life; I can't bear to take it off. I'm reluctant to leave here just as much."

Thinking about all this, Wang Zheng sighed slightly, a shadow passing over his face. He said in a low voice, "Good tea."

"Wang Zheng, what's wrong Why are you sighing" Shangguan Shishi asked with concern and surprise before she had even swallowed the peanuts in her mouth.

What was originally a warm and harmonious atmosphere started to become somber. This obviously didn't match Wang Dabaobiao’s cynical style.

"Nothing's wrong, I haven't felt such a family atmosphere for a long time; it feels really good, hehe." Wang Zheng quickly adjusted his expression and forced out a smile.

Usually the rascal Wang Zheng suddenly became so sentimental; Sheng Fei had even more questions in her heart.

"You two look like honest kids. Xiao Fei having you two as friends really makes me feel at ease," Grandma Sheng said. "This young man looks very likable, and this girl does too."

"Grandma, we're all in Beijing; there's plenty of time to visit. You and Auntie could come to Beijing for a trip. I'll show you around the city and make sure you have fun," Fei Lin said with some concern, fearing that Grandma Sheng would overlook him as the top candidate for her granddaughter’s husband.

"Good idea, good idea! After the busy season at home is over, I really want to go see Beijing. Xiao Fei, you don't have a family in Beijing; if you settle down here and get married, Grandma will be happy to stay with you. You two have known each other since childhood; it seems more and more like you should marry each other," Grandma Sheng said as she pursued the matter of her granddaughter’s marriage tenaciously. This old lady had really thrown caution to the wind. Seeing how Fei Lin was daydreaming, Sheng Fei really didn't want this elderly lady to continue talking in front of everyone.

"Grandma, I won’t hide it from you; your granddaughter actually has a boyfriend."

Sheng Fei clenched her teeth and glanced at Wang Zheng. She thought to herself: Looks like I'll have to make him pretend again.
