"You, as her older sister, just indulge her. She can come here to play, but she can’t stay too long. At most, ten days or so, she has to go back home."
"Alright, let’s talk about it later. For now, let’s go in and eat."
The four of them walked into the villa’s living room and saw Sun Xiaorui setting the table in the dining area. She had already served everyone’s food.
Little Aunt and Hong Siyu were both taken aback when they saw her. Little Aunt whispered to Wu Mengting in Lu City dialect, "Little Ting, who is this woman?"
Wu Mengting had to introduce her according to what Chen Feng had said before.
Only then did Little Aunt understand, but the quirky Hong Siyu was somewhat doubtful, studying Sun Xiaorui with a suspicious look. Of course, suspicion aside, she wasn’t foolish enough to ask more questions on the spot.
They sat down together, chatting and laughing as they finished their meal.
Chen Feng stayed with them in the living room for a few minutes before going straight upstairs.
He first tidied up the training room and set up the bedding; he would have to sleep there tonight.
Until bedtime, Chen Feng didn’t come back down.
Around ten o’clock, the women finally went upstairs together, with Wu Mengting and Sun Xiaorui helping them prepare a room.
Wu Mengting’s Little Aunt had a room to herself, and Hong Siyu shared with Wu Mengting.
After washing up, the cousins got into bed, turned off the lights, and lay side by side.
Hong Siyu directly asked, "Sis, you’re not telling me you still haven’t slept with brother-in-law, are you?"
"What do you, little brat, care about this stuff?" Wu Mengting scolded her irritably.
"I just care about you! It’s modern times now; since you’re living with brother-in-law, sleeping separately either means you’re not attracted to him or he lacks... you know... manly capabilities. Ouch!" Thɪs chapter is updatᴇd by NoveIＦire.net
Wu Mengting gave her a flick and scolded, "Grown-up matters are none of your business, you little brat."
"Tch! I’m already nineteen, okay? Don’t treat me like a kid. I already understand what I should. Several of my classmates have changed boyfriends multiple times. They often don’t even come home on weekends."
"You better not follow their example. If girls don’t respect themselves when they’re young, they’ll surely regret it as they get older."
"You are such an old-fashioned person," Hong Siyu carelessly said. "What self-respect are you talking about? Do you think only men think about such things? Don’t women think about it too? Now it’s gender equality; if both sides are in love, doing it isn’t normal? Just take protective measures."
Wu Mengting said angrily, "You little minx, you’ve really learnt some bad ideas. Tell me honestly, have you got a boyfriend in school?"
"I don’t. I find those boys very immature; there are a few male teachers who are quite handsome, but they either have girlfriends or are already married."
"Wow! You actually like teachers? Like older men, huh? Let’s see if I tell your mom about it tomorrow."
"No, I don’t. I just said they’re handsome, not that I like them," Hong Siyu immediately denied it. "And they’re not old men; many teachers in college are quite young. For example, our advisor is only twenty-five, and a certain associate professor is twenty-nine."
"Alright. I know what’s on your mind, little girl. Let me tell you, those men may look like gentlemen on the surface, graceful and well-mannered, but who knows what they’re like behind closed doors. There are plenty who are all proper on the outside but filthy and shameless underneath. Don’t judge a book by its cover. I’m really worried about naive girls like you getting deceived by some man with bad intentions."
"I’m not that foolish. Don’t worry. If I’m looking for someone, it would be someone I’m genuinely in love with. I won’t be easily tricked."
"As long as you know. As women, we must protect ourselves out there, both physically and emotionally. Never fall for a man too easily, and definitely don’t foolishly give him everything."
Unwilling to be lectured, Hong Siyu quickly changed the topic, "Sis, tell me how you met brother-in-law and got together? And how did he stay so proper with you?"
"You sure like calling him brother-in-law. Actually, we haven’t even started dating."
"What really happened? Tell me. I can tell you like him. I know your personality; if you weren’t interested, you wouldn’t live with him."
"Sigh, you wouldn’t understand even if I told you. Let’s not talk about it anymore; hurry up and sleep. Tomorrow morning, you have to go with your mom to meet the lawyer about your dad’s case. Get some rest."
Mentioning her father, who was still in the detention center, brought down Hong Siyu’s mood instantly. She just responded with an "Oh" and said no more.
The next day after breakfast, around seven thirty, Chen Feng and Wu Mengting took Little Aunt and her daughter to the law firm.
Lv Xiaohan, the well-known lawyer in Xiu Zhou, is not someone that just anyone can meet.
Thanks to Cai Zhixin who arranged it in advance, the group was able to see him without any issue. They talked in the office for about half an hour and quickly reached an agreement for representation. The contract was signed, and part of the attorney fees was prepaid.
Little Aunt consulted for another half an hour, and Lv Xiaohan had a very good attitude. After ensuring there was at least a ninety percent chance he could get her husband a light sentence, Little Aunt exchanged contact information with him, satisfied, and then left.
"Ah Feng, thank you so much! If it weren’t for you, Lawyer Lv wouldn’t have taken our case."
When the four of them got into the car after leaving the law firm, Little Aunt expressed her gratitude to Chen Feng.
"No need to thank, it’s something I should do."
"Brother-in-law, how did you manage to get Lawyer Lv to agree?" Hong Siyu asked curiously. "I looked him up; he’s quite impressive. People online say he’s the top lawyer in our East Sea Province."
"Top lawyer?" Chen Feng was a bit surprised. "Is he really that great?"
"You didn’t know? He’s indeed quite remarkable. The cases he previously handled had very good outcomes. It’s a pity he usually doesn’t take on simple cases, but now that he’s handling my dad’s case, we’re sure to get a lighter sentence."
"Brother-in-law, you still haven’t said how you got him to agree."
Seeing Hong Siyu’s persistent look, Chen Feng had no choice but to say, "A friend of a friend has some connections with him. Probably out of respect for that friend, he agreed."
"Then we must thank your friend properly. How about inviting him out, and my mom and I can treat him to a meal."
Chen Feng immediately shook his head, "No need. My friend is very busy and not in Xiu Zhou right now."
Little Aunt chimed in, "Then please convey our gratitude to your friend. When he has time in the future, we will thank him personally."
Chen Feng casually agreed.
