Chapter 1170 Parents’ Worry and the Warmth of Home
At this time, uncle Lu Yusong also walked over quickly.
Compared to his wife, he was much more restrained. He just stood in front of Lu Feng, patted his shoulder vigorously, looked him up and down carefully, and moved his lips. In the end, he only said a simple but weighty sentence:
"Just come back! Just come back!"
His voice was steady, trying to maintain the composure of an elder.
However, Lu Feng clearly saw that his uncle's eyes, which had experienced many vicissitudes of life, were slightly red, and especially the big hands that were tightly holding Lu Feng's shoulders were trembling slightly and imperceptibly.
This silent excitement, far better than any words, conveyed his inner restlessness and the great joy and relief of seeing his nephew return safely.
"Come on, kid, let's go inside and talk. We won't leave at noon. Let's eat here. Auntie will make you some delicious food to replenish your body."
As the aunt spoke, she pulled Lu Feng inside.
Lu Feng obediently followed the two elders, walked through the carefully trimmed bush path, and entered the villa's yard.
The yard is very elegantly maintained, with some precious flowers and plants and uniquely shaped landscape trees planted in an orderly manner.
However, Lu Feng's attention was attracted by a corner of the yard.
There, several areas surrounded by neat wooden strips are particularly eye-catching. What is planted inside are not common ornamental flowers, but vegetables.
The various vegetables form a subtle contrast with the carefully arranged Japanese dry landscape garden next to it.
Auntie noticed Lu Feng's gaze, followed his gaze, and immediately a warm yet slightly embarrassed smile appeared on her face:
"Oh, that one? Your uncle and I made it."
"This person can't sit still. He's bored just looking at flowers and grass all day long."
"There's a sunny spot in the yard, so we decided to grow some vegetables ourselves. We don't use pesticides or fertilizers, so we can have something fresh and worry-free."
"Don't people in the city care about 'green and healthy' now?" She said in a cheerful tone, with a sense of self-satisfaction.
Lu Feng nodded, his eyes gently sweeping across the vegetable patch full of life, without saying much.
He knew clearly in his mind that his aunt was not really doing this to keep up with the fashion or pursue health, but simply to save some money.
For their generation, the habit of diligence and thrift has long been ingrained in their bones.
However, looking at the genuine smile on his aunt's face, Lu Feng felt that this was also good.
Since the two elders feel happy and fulfilled, let them take care of this little world. This is also a rare kind of peace.
The three of them walked through the yard and into the villa.
The living room's decoration is low-key yet luxurious, with polished marble floors and huge floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking the carefully maintained garden.
The whole space is spacious and bright, and very grand.
But before Lu Feng could take a closer look, his aunt pressed him onto the soft and spacious leather sofa:
"Hurry up and sit down and take a rest! You must have been through a lot lately, your face has become thinner!"
Before she finished speaking, she had already deftly picked up a big red apple from the fruit bowl and began to peel it.
On the coffee table next to it, crystal clear grapes, yellow mangoes, plump strawberries...all kinds of seasonal fruits quickly filled up a corner of the small table.
"Eat some fruit first!"
At this time, the always calm uncle Lu Yusong also spoke up: "Yuxiu, go check the kitchen first to see if there are any vegetables missing. We will go buy some later."
"Xiaofeng must not have eaten well these days. I must make something delicious for lunch to nourish him!"
"Right, right, right! Look at my brain, I'm just too happy!"
My aunt clapped her hands, immediately put down the half-peeled apple, and hurried towards the kitchen.
As my aunt's figure disappeared in the corridor leading to the kitchen, the huge living room suddenly became quiet, leaving only Lu Feng and his uncle Lu Yusong.
The lively and warm atmosphere just now seemed to have calmed down a bit.
The smile on Lu Yusong's face disappeared, and his brows were filled with deep concern and solemnity.
He sat on the single sofa next to Lu Feng, leaning forward slightly, his weathered eyes, now filled with worry, fixed on Lu Feng:
"Xiaofeng, tell me the truth. What on earth is going on? Why was he...captured by those people?"
His voice lowered, with a hint of barely perceptible fear and anger, "Did I offend someone?"
Lu Feng picked up a strawberry and slowly put it into his mouth. The sweet and sour juice spread in his mouth.
He swallowed the fruit pulp, met his uncle's worried gaze, and said calmly, "Uncle, don't worry too much. It's just a trap set up by someone."
"But now it's been investigated and everything has been resolved, and I'm fine now."
"Framed?" Lu Yusong's brows furrowed even tighter, and his rough fingers unconsciously rubbed his knees.
"This...this world! Xiaofeng, listen to your uncle's advice. If this doesn't work...let's just stop doing this, okay?"
"Your current position may seem glorious, but a tall tree attracts the wind! Those people outside are all very malicious!"
"You are my only nephew. If anything were to happen to you..."
His voice was a little choked, and he didn't say the rest of the words, but Lu Feng could clearly feel the heavy worry and fear.
"Uncle, don't worry. This was just an accident. I will be more careful in the future and it won't happen again. Really, I promise you."
Hearing this, Lu Yusong opened his mouth, obviously wanting to persuade him again.
Seeing this, Lu Feng immediately changed the subject calmly: "By the way, uncle, how is Yanran doing recently? Is she doing well in school?"
He had followed the two of them for so many years, so he naturally knew how to easily change the subject.
Sure enough, as soon as Lu Yanran was mentioned, the solemnity on Lu Yusong's face was instantly replaced by an irrepressible sense of relief and joy. His eyes brightened a little, and even his back straightened a little:
"Good! Very good!" He said the word "good" twice in a row, his tone unprecedentedly cheerful. "Thanks to Miss Liu! Miss Liu is really a great benefactor to our Lu family!"
"She arranged it. Yanran is now studying at Fuyuan University in the Magic City! It's one of the top universities in the country!"
"Before... before, I really couldn't even imagine that our Yanran would be so lucky to be able to study in such a good school!"
Looking at the genuine, almost childish smile of pride on his uncle's face, Lu Feng also smiled sincerely.
It was he who, as Liu Ruyan, stepped in to help Lu Yanran get into Fuyuan University.
As the president of Fengyuan Group, it was too easy for Liu Ruyan to just add one more person to Fuyuan University.
Then, he suddenly said, "How about this, Uncle, I have nothing to do this afternoon. I will go to Fuyuan University to pick up Yanran after school and give her a surprise?"
"Great! That's great!" Lu Yusong was even happier when he heard this, nodding his head repeatedly. "After you got into trouble, that girl was so worried that she was distracted the whole day and even cried several times."
"If she saw you standing in front of her safe and sound, I don't know how happy she would be! She would be so happy if you went to pick her up!"
