Chapter 87: I’ll Come Back Later to Eat Your Tofu!
Song Youwei looked up in surprise and saw a group of divine-looking figures standing in front of her and her companions.
The man in the middle stood right in front of her with a smile on his face and said with a gentle smile, “Sister Youwei, long time no see!”
Song Youwei’s cherry lips parted slightly in shock. “It’s really you! Weren’t you supposed to be cultivating immortality?”
Lin Fengmian teased, “I couldn’t bear to leave you behind. I came back to eat your tofu.”
Song Youwei’s cheeks flushed slightly as she playfully scolded, “Three years have passed, and you’re still as glib as ever!”
Lin Fengmian smiled faintly, feeling a strange emotion.
He had always enjoyed coming to Song Youwei’s house to eat tofu and act spoiled. They had known each other for years.
Since he was younger and always generous, he pretended to be the foolish son of a wealthy family.
Madam Zhu, seeing the money, didn’t guard against him too much and turned a blind eye to his antics.
As a result, Lin Fengmian was the only one in town who had tasted the tofu of the famous tofu beauty Song Youwei.
However, as he grew older, Madam Zhu began to be more cautious around him.
At this moment, Madam Zhu immediately stepped between them, looking as if she was about to jump up and hit him.
“Do you think I am dead? Flirting in broad daylight, do you have any shame?”
Lin Fengmian rubbed his nose awkwardly. “Aunt Zhu, weren’t you the one who said Sister Youwei should marry into our family?”
Madam Zhu’s eyes widened in anger. “Don’t even think about it! She was born a Zhu, and she’ll die a Zhu.”
“I’m telling you, as long as I’m not dead, no one will ever touch her!”
Her face turned red with anger, and she struggled to catch her breath, looking like she might collapse at any moment.
Song Youwei quickly bent down to support her, gently patting her back to help her catch her breath and reassuringly saying, “Mother, don’t get so upset. He’s just joking with you.”
As she bent down, her voluptuous figure inadvertently attracted the attention of many, drawing furtive glances and envious looks from other women.
She was like a ripe peach ready to be picked, exuding an irresistible allure that also invited jealousy.
Seeing Madam Zhu’s agitation and Song Youwei’s frequent signals, Lin Fengmian didn’t dare to say anything more.
Otherwise, if he really upset the old lady to death, his mother would surely break his legs.
He blinked and said with a smile, “Sister Youwei, I’ll come back to eat your tofu later!”
Song Youwei was torn between laughter and tears. This guy was still as slick-tongued as ever, determined to annoy her mother-in-law to death.
Lin Fengmian didn’t dare to stay any longer and slipped away.
Xia Yunxi asked curiously, “Brother, who was that just now?”
Lin Fengmian looked back with a complicated expression. “Just a poor soul.”
Seeing that it was indeed Lin Fengmian, the neighbors greeted him warmly.
Feeling a surge of warmth when he saw the familiar faces of his elders, Lin Fengmian chatted and laughed with them as he passed by.
“Young master, is it really you?”
A woman stepped out of the crowd and examined Lin Fengmian from head to toe.
Lin Fengmian looked at the pretty woman dressed in green in surprise. “Little Butterfly? It’s been years, you’ve grown up.”
“It really is the young master back! That’s wonderful, I’ll go tell the master and mistress, they’ll be so happy.”
Little Butterfly was overjoyed and turned to run back.
Lin Fengmian said with a wry smile, “Why is she still so flustered?”
Wen Qinlin was surprised. “It seems Brother Lin is from a wealthy family.”
Lin Fengmian quickly waved his hand. “Mundane wealth is nothing to write home about.”
In the Lin household.
Lin Wencheng was sipping tea in a rocking chair in the courtyard when a commotion broke out outside.
The maid, Little Butterfly, rushed in like the wind. Lin Wencheng looked at her indifferently. “Why are you so flustered? What’s going on?”
Little Butterfly exclaimed happily, “Master, the young master is back.”
Lin Wencheng stopped rocking and looked at Little Butterfly. “Are you sure? That unfilial son is back?”
Little Butterfly nodded repeatedly. “Yes. I saw him with my own eyes and rushed back to tell you.”
Lin Wencheng’s face lit up with a smile, but he still scolded, “That rascal probably got into trouble and ran back.”
He hurried out, leaving his tea behind, and waited at the gate.
Soon, Lady Li Zhuxuan also rushed out when she heard the news.
She looked around. “Old Lin, where is that rascal?”
Lin Wencheng said helplessly, “I haven’t seen him yet, he probably got held up somewhere.”
Lady Li Zhuxuan asked, “Little Butterfly, are you sure you didn’t mistake him?”
Little Butterfly nodded. “No, the young master even spoke to me.”
Lady Li Zhuxuan scolded, “That rascal can’t even come home properly!”
Lin Wencheng quickly said, “Wife, say less or you’ll scare him away.”
The fiery Lady Li Zhuxuan wanted to say more, but she stopped herself.
She gritted her teeth. “If he comes back, I’ll teach him a lesson. By the way, did he come back alone?”
Little Butterfly shook her head. “No, the young master was with a man and two women who all looked like immortals, I didn’t dare go near them.”
Lady Li Zhuxuan was skeptical. “Is it that much of an exaggeration?”
Little Butterfly nodded. “Yes, the two women were exceptionally beautiful, especially the one next to the young master, like a fairy!”
Lady Li Zhuxuan asked, “Could they be more beautiful than the fairies who visited us last time?”
She was annoyed because she knew her son well.
His so-called longing for the immortal path was clearly just an infatuation with beautiful women, lured by their charms and unable to be stopped.
Little Butterfly thought carefully and nodded. “One of them was even more beautiful than the others. When she smiled, the world seemed to dim!”
Lin Wencheng corrected, “This is called ‘A single glance can make a hundred flowers bloom!'”
Little Butterfly nodded repeatedly. “Yes, yes, that’s it!”
Lady Li Zhuxuan felt a sense of urgency. Damn it! So many beauties outside!
Would her flirtatious son even want to come home?
Despite her annoyance, she quietly ordered the servants to prepare wine and food so that they would not lose face.
Soon, they saw a crowd making its way to the Lin residence.
A handsome young man, surrounded by people, walked toward the Lin residence, chatting and laughing with everyone.
The man was handsome and looked like their son who had left home for many years. He seemed to be much thinner than before, but his eyes were like stars, making people unforgettable.
Beside him, there were two women and a man, all of them exceptionally good looking, clearly not ordinary people, who attracted attention.
The woman standing next to Lin Fengmian was so stunning that even Lady Li Zhuxuan, a woman herself, couldn’t help but marvel.
Such a beautiful woman truly existed, making all other beauties pale in comparison with just a smile.
