Extraordinary Genius

Chapter 1365 – Kexin’s Parents

Zhou Kexin stood by the roadside and kept checking her watch and looking around. Why is he not here yet?

After a while, an old Songjiang Olympic stopped in front of Zhou Kexin. The driver, wearing a big pair of sunglasses, winds down the window.

“Why are you so late?” Zhou Kexin grumbled.

“The neighborhood you are staying in is out of the way, and the traffic is heavy. Why don’t you move to that apartment I bought for you? It’s near to your workplace too.”

“I agreed to be your second wife, but not your kept woman. Alright. Hurry up and drive in. My parents are waiting.” Zhou Kexin entered the front passenger seat.

Feng Yu had rushed to Shanghai is because Zhou Kexin told him that her parents are going to introduce a boyfriend to her. He was shocked and afraid she would agree.

Luckily, Zhou Kexin had told her parents that she has a boyfriend in Shanghai. But because he has to travel most of the time for work, she did not tell them.

Zhou Kexin’s parents hear it and flew to Shanghai. They insist on meeting her boyfriend, and she had no choice but to call Feng Yu over.

“Is my dressing alright? Don’t worry. I will remove my sunglasses later.”

Feng Yu still remembers the first time he met Zhou Kexin’s parents. He had worn a pair of sunglasses and left a bad impression on them. Her parents felt only hooligans wear sunglasses, and he will not repeat the same mistake this time.

Feng Yu also knows what Kexin’s mother likes and dislikes. Although some things might change in their life, most of her habits and tastes should remain the same.

Feng Yu parked the car and carried two bags of fruits and two bottles of wine from the backseat.

“Eh? How do you know my mother likes durian?”

Feng Yu looks at Zhou Kexin. “Did you forget that I am your husband in your previous life? How can I don’t know about this? I still know that your mother’s birthdate on her identification card is wrong. Her actual birthday is 9th March of the lunar calendar.”

Zhou Kexin sticks out her tongue. “Alright. Then I don’t need to remind you of anything. You must remember your identity!”

Zhou Kexin told her parents that Feng Yu is working for a special department, and it’s confidential to let others know which department!

Feng Yu thought for a while and felt this identity would prevent lots of trouble. He can also tell Kexin doesn’t mind being his second wife from this gesture!

The moment Zhou Kexin opens the door, Feng Yu saw two familiar faces. They are much younger now.

“Hello, Uncle and Auntie. I’m Kexin’s boyfriend, Feng Yu. I didn’t know you all are coming and are working outside. I had to take time off from my leaders and rushed here. That’s why I’m late.”

It takes more than one lie to cover up a lie, but Feng Yu is good at lying.

“Come in and have a seat. Oh, you even brought durians. How do you know I like this?”

Old Zhou voiced out his displeasure. “Only you like to eat these smelly things.” Do you still need to ask? It must be our daughter who told him.

“What do you know? The TV says these fruits have the most nutrients.” Zhou Kexin’s mother retorted.

“Those fruits are nice smelling fruits. The one you like smells like stinky tofu!”

“Uncle, I brought two bottles of wine for you. These are given to me by my Leader, and I don’t drink. I hope you will like it.”

“Ah… Maotai! This is good! I love it!” Old Zhou smiles.

“Xiao Feng, come and have a seat. Oh, what are you working as?” Zhou Kexin’s mother asked.

“Mum… didn’t I tell you that you cannot ask, and he can’t tell you? It is confidential.” Zhou Kexin quickly interrupts.

“I am talking to Xiao Feng. Stop interrupting! Xiao Feng, it’s fine if you can’t tell me. I am just asking. But what should I tell my neighbors if they ask?”

Feng Yu thought to himself. Is this what you mean by it’s fine not to tell you? If I don’t say anything, you will be mad.

“Auntie, you can just treat me as working for the State Security. Our job nature is quite similar, but not as dangerous as them. We are focusing on financial crimes.” Feng Yu starts to lie.

“Financial crimes? What’s there to be so secretive?” Zhou Kexin’s mother asked suspiciously.

“How can you not be secretive if you are going to catch those corrupted officials? If they do it openly, those criminals will go into hiding! Just tell our neighbors that he is working in an ordinary company as an accountant!” Old Zhou added.

The best lie is to keep it simple and short. This will let the other party fill-up the gaps through their imagination and avoid being caught.

Feng Yu did not expect Kexin’s father is so imaginative!

“Xiao Feng, how is your income? Is it enough?” Kexin’s mother asked.

“It’s quite stable, and we have bonuses. My workplace also provides apartments and cars for our work.”

“Ah, your unit is so good. Not many workplaces give out apartments nowadays. Where is your apartment, and how big is it?” Kexin’s mother continued with her questions.

“It’s in Shanghai. It was supposed to be a two-bedroom unit, but I changed it to a three-bedroom unit after I top-up with money.”

Kexin’s parents exchanged looks. This young man is a good catch. He has a three-bedroom apartment in Shanghai and a car provided by his workplace. His job and income are also stable.

Kexin’s parents felt they had made a wise decision to send their daughter to Shanghai for studies. If not, she will never meet Feng Yu.

Most mothers-in-law are pleased with their son-in-law. Kexin’s mother is already treating Feng Yu as her future son-in-law now. His conditions are much better than the guy she wants to introduce to Kexin.

“Xiao Feng, what are your parents working as? How many family members do you have?”

“My parents’ jobs are also confidential. I have an older sister, and she is a nurse.”

Kexin’s mother looks at her husband. Did you see it? Xiao Feng’s family must be some bigshot, and they can pass their jobs to the next generation. This way, our future grandson doesn’t need to worry about his career.

“Xiao Feng, do you smoke?” Old Zhou took out his cigarettes and offered them to Feng Yu.

“Sorry, Uncle. I don’t smoke and drink because of the nature of my job.”

“That’s good. He is always smoking and kept coughing at night!” Zhou Kexin’s mother added.

“Why are you talking about me? I am busy with my work. I am a section chief now!”

“It’s deputy chief in charge of logistics. What power do you have? Can you compare yourself with Xiao Feng?”

Zhou Kexin looks at Feng Yu with a smile. Her father was supposed to retire. But the factory he was working in suddenly revive, and he was promoted to deputy section chief suddenly. She doesn’t believe Feng Yu is not involved.

“Mum, let’s go and prepare dinner, and let Dad play chess with him.”
