118: Only children make choices, adults want them all!
Zhang Qingning sat opposite Zheng Yiyun, dressed in a JK uniform. Its blue and white color scheme was fresh and sweet, like a ray of spring sunshine, bringing warmth and joy.
A small pink bow tied at the collar of her white shirt made her look playful and cute.
Her chest was full, and the bow was like a nimble little butterfly, dancing gracefully.
Her blue pleated short skirt swayed gently with her movements, full of youthful vitality, like a refreshing spring breeze.
She wore a high ponytail, her hair tips bouncing with her steps, and her fair face radiated vigor, a stark contrast to Zheng Yiyun's style, like a proud plum blossom, full of life and vitality.
Two exquisite beauties: one a mature and charming, still-alluring voluptuous young woman; the other a cold-faced but warm-hearted, jade-skinned, stunning young girl.
The two, one older and one younger, though not related by blood, had a relationship closer than mother and daughter...
Moreover, despite their vastly different styles, both were rare beauties. If Jiang Feng were to choose, he would likely find it difficult to make a decision...
In that case, it's best to follow the wisdom of the ancients: children make choices; adults want it all!
At this moment, the two were about to eat. The dining table was laden with a rich array of dishes, their aroma filling the air, greatly increasing one's appetite.
To reward Jiang Feng, Zheng Yiyun had truly showcased her cooking skills today, spending two or three hours preparing dinner, working up a sweat, so it wasn't ready until nine in the evening...
On the table were braised pork, red and glossy with an enticing aroma, the fatty and lean meat stewed until tender, sweet, and melt-in-your-mouth; and steamed fish, fresh and juicy with a delicious flavor, its body covered with shredded scallions and ginger, drizzled with hot oil and steamed fish soy sauce, emitting an alluring fragrance.
Both of these were Jiang Feng's favorites!
But Zhang Qingning had no mind to taste them. She kept looking towards the door, her eyes filled with anxiety and confusion, finally unable to resist asking:
"Yun-Ayi, why isn't Xiao Feng back yet? What time is it already...? Nothing bad happened, did it? He didn't run into any bad people on the way, did he? What if..."
Her heart felt like a kitten was scratching at it, making her restless, her mind filled with the dangers Jiang Feng might be encountering.
After all, the public security outside these days was truly very poor.
She had even heard about a snatch-and-grab incident nearby a while ago!
So, by ten o'clock at night, she basically never went out.
And now, Jiang Feng still wasn't home even close to nine o'clock, which made her incredibly worried, feeling like an ant on a hot pan, pacing anxiously.
Upon hearing this, Zheng Yiyun's brows furrowed. Her hands unconsciously rubbed the corner of her clothes, a gesture that seemed somewhat nervous and helpless.
Under Zhang Qingning's gaze, she opened her mouth several times, then hesitated and closed it.
She didn't know whether she should tell Zhang Qingning what happened this morning.
Telling her would not only be unhelpful but would make her more worried...
But looking at Zhang Qingning's current appearance, she clearly loved Jiang Feng immensely...
Sigh, never mind, just tell her. Long pain is worse than short pain!
Zheng Yiyun gathered her emotions and organized her words, her voice slightly trembling as she slowly said:
"Qing Ning, what I'm about to tell you, you absolutely must not panic!"
Her tone was like announcing a heavy verdict, making Zhang Qingning's heart instantly jump to her throat.
Zhang Qingning felt a chill run through her body, a coldness piercing her heart. She had an ominous premonition:
"Yun-Ayi, tell me, I can handle it!"
Zheng Yiyun took a deep breath, as if steeling herself, and said:
"Qing Ning, this morning I was cornered by over a dozen hoodlums. Each of them looked fierce and vicious, like a pack of wolves, and their words were terrible, like 'Stupid woman, don't think you can run today.' I was so scared I thought my heart was going to jump out of my chest..."
"Just when I thought something bad was going to happen to me, Xiao Feng arrived in time and beat them to a pulp. If it weren't for Xiao Feng, I don't dare to imagine what would have happened..."
"Afterwards, he said he was going to find the hoodlums' boss to completely resolve the matter, but since then, I haven't been able to reach him. His phone has been off, and I've called countless times, but each time it's that cold voice saying it's off..."
Zheng Yiyun was filled with self-reproach, feeling that she had caused Jiang Feng such great trouble, and she was also worried that Jiang Feng might be in danger, pacing anxiously like an ant on a hot pan.
Although the hoodlums were looking for Jiang Feng, she still blamed herself, feeling that she had dragged him down, otherwise Jiang Feng could have escaped alone.
Her heart was full of self-blame: It's all my fault. If it weren't for me, Xiao Feng wouldn't be in such danger. If anything happens to him, how will I live?
Upon hearing this, Zhang Qingning was struck by lightning, completely stunned, her eyes wide open.
Her eyes instantly reddened with anxiety, and her voice was tearful:
"Ah? How could this happen! Xiao Feng wasn't captured by them, was he? What should we do! Let's call the police quickly! Let the law enforcement officers arrest those hoodlums and rescue Xiao Feng!"
Black Dragon Gang: You talk about calling the police, and I want to laugh!
Zheng Yiyun shook her head helplessly. She still remembered when she suggested calling the police, and that group of hoodlums laughed as if they had heard a joke...
It was clear that the Black Dragon Gang and the law enforcement bureau were in cahoots!
She sighed, her sigh seemingly containing endless helplessness, and said:
"It's no use, Qing Ning, you don't know, the Black Dragon Gang is behind this... They are a bunch of local tyrants, running rampant in this area... Moreover, they collude with law enforcement. If we call the police, not only will it not solve the problem, but we might stir up even bigger trouble, like poking a hornet's nest..."
She knew clearly that in this complex society, some things cannot be solved by simply calling the police; one can only find ways to deal with them oneself...
Zhang Qingning's eyes welled up with tears, filled with both anxiety and anger.
Anxious that Jiang Feng might be in danger, and angry that Jiang Feng went to handle this crisis alone!
She stood up abruptly and paced back and forth, her steps as frantic as an ant on a hot pan, muttering incessantly:
"Then what should we do? Xiao Feng won't be in danger, will he? He's going to face those bad guys alone, what if... what if they outnumber him and Xiao Feng can't beat them? What if they have weapons and Xiao Feng gets hurt?"
