Twenty minutes later, the black Maybach stopped in front of a manor. It was Lishang Manor, Feng Hao’s godmother’s house.
As the butler opened the gates, Feng Hao looked at Su Yan and said, “Are you afraid? If you regret this, it’s not too late to turn around now.”
Su Yan smiled lightly and unbuckled her seatbelt, “Would it seem like I’m not taking this seriously if I say I’m not afraid?”
Feng Hao was taken aback, but he smiled and said, “This is just a collaboration between us. It’s fine if you don’t take it seriously, but I am curious about your current mood.”
As he spoke, the two of them emerged from the car together and smoothed their clothes. Feng Hao brought Su Yan to the manor’s main door. A middle-aged man in his forties or fifties was standing there.
“Hello, Uncle Fu. Thank you so much!” Feng Hao greeted.
“That’s too kind of you, Second Young Master. It’s all within a day’s work for me. I didn’t expect you to get yourself such a pretty girlfriend. Well done!” Uncle Fu smiled.
Feng Hao introduced Su Yan and said, “This is Uncle Fu, the butler at my godmother’s manor. He’s been the butler here even before I was born! If there’s anything you need, just look for him.”
“Hello, Uncle Fu. My name is Su Yan,” Su Yan said politely.
Uncle Fu said happily, “Hello, hello, hello. You’re such a pretty girl. The two of you better hurry up and go in. Madam has been waiting the entire day for you both.”
Feng Hao and Su Yan looked at each other and walked into the manor together. Su Yan admired the scenery on her way in. There were annexes, pavilions, ornate carved railings, and paintings. The moonlight from the lotus pond filtered in too, giving the place an otherworldly aura.
Su Yan was inwardly approving. She knew that an average Joe could not own a manor like this. Feng Hao’s godmother was probably someone with a very high status.
..
In a villa within Lishang Manor.
The two of them had just entered through the doors when Su Yan saw a screen that was worth at least a million yuan. However, she did not say anything and followed Feng Hao to the second floor.
However, Su Yan frowned almost immediately when she walked into the dining room with Feng Hao. There was someone familiar sitting at the eight immortals table. It was Wei Zhou’s best friend, Lan Jian.
Lan Jian naturally saw Su Yan too. His heart suddenly started thudding, as though there were horses galloping past. Lan Jian never expected this to happen. He didn’t have much education to be able to say anything eloquent about his feelings, and so he could only curse.
At the same time, a middle-aged woman walked in from the other end. When she saw Feng Hao and Su Yan standing together, her expression froze immediately.
“Is this your girlfriend, Feng Hao?” Fan Yumei asked.
Feng Hao nodded. “Yes, Godmother.”
Fan Yumei looked at Su Yan and immediately hid the suspicion in her eyes. She had learned to hide her true emotions, especially after being a wealthy lady for so many years. She clearly knew Su Yan, but she acted as if it was the first time she saw her. Fan Yumei’s acting skills were quite professional.
“Hehe, your girlfriend is really good-looking. Aren’t you going to introduce her to us?” Fan Yumei said with a smile.
Su Yan smiled and waited for Feng Hao to speak. She knew that tonight’s dinner was going to be interesting. Perhaps of all the people at this dinner, Feng Hao could be the innocent one who did not know anything.
“Godmother, her name is Su Yan. She’s my girlfriend.” Feng Hao looked at Su Yan as he spoke. “Su Yan, this is my godmother.”
Su Yan’s smiled as she nodded politely. “Hello, Auntie.”
Fan Yumei also smiled and nodded. “Hello, hello. I thought that Feng Hao was lying about having a girlfriend. I didn’t expect that he would really find a girlfriend as beautiful as you.”
Before Fan Yumei could finish her sentence, she looked at Feng Hao but was pleased when she scolded him, “You little brat. You’re all grown up and capable now. You didn’t even take the initiative to tell me that you have a girlfriend. It’s fine if you didn’t tell me, but you didn’t even say anything to your mother. No, I must tell your mother this news at once. It’ll definitely make her happy! I know that when she sees Su Yan, she will definitely keep a close eye on her. If Su Yan runs away with someone else, where will your mother find such a beautiful daughter-in-law?”
Hearing this, Su Yan thought that she would have been moved to tears if she didn’t already know what Fan Yumei was like.
At this moment, another set of footsteps sounded. Before that person entered the dining room, a voice called out. “Mom, is Brother Hao still not here yet?”
The next moment, a slim, sweet-looking girl appeared at the dining room, but her eyes seemed to look rather spiteful. Su Yan raised her eyebrows at this sight. This was yet another familiar face..
