The Magnificent Son-in-law

Chapter 71: Visiting the Du Family


At noon, the police station cafeteria saw its highest ever foot traffic.

Last night's operation was indeed massive, with many officers from nearby substations mobilized to participate, and follow-up investigations and evidence collection were conducted.

Those who came to help can't be left hungry, right?

So, the number of people increased rapidly.

And the officers at the Jiangcheng Police Station weren't the least bit accommodating. Instead, they all rushed to the cafeteria, almost everyone came, even those who usually don't eat at the cafeteria were no exception.

Officers from the surrounding substations looked a bit disgruntled, is this how you treat guests?

However, as dissatisfaction brewed, someone noticed something odd: "Why aren't they getting food?"

Others frowned and found it was true. The Jiangcheng Police Station officers, after sitting down, had nearly half not getting food, some brought instant noodles or bread, and started eating on their own.

This left the officers from the surrounding substations confused. You brought your own food, so why come to the cafeteria?

Curious officers couldn't help but ask, only to be told, "Just came to watch."

This "came to watch" left the officers scratching their heads, what's there to watch in the cafeteria?

People exchanged glances, feeling like they had encountered a bunch of lunatics.

In addition, the officers noticed that a table right in the middle of the cafeteria was empty, even though the surrounding seats were quite crowded, no one sat at that table.

Little did they know, the policemen in the Jiangcheng City Bureau came here to see Xiao Feng, Shi Jiaxin, and Song Keren.

The relationship between these three is so complex within the bureau that it could be made into a TV series.

In the eyes of the crowd, the relationship is that Song Keren likes Xiao Feng, but Xiao Feng likes Shi Jiaxin. Shi Jiaxin, considering her relationship with Song Keren, although she has feelings for Xiao Feng, always restrains her emotions.

Such a ready-made love triangle, everyone wanted to see what kind of exciting drama could develop, so they came here early to wait.

That table in the middle was specially reserved for the three of them. Even if a substation officer wanted to sit there, they were stopped by the Jiangcheng officers.

Unfortunately, by the end of lunch, neither Xiao Feng, Song Keren, nor Shi Jiaxin showed up in the cafeteria.

Later, it was found out that Xiao Feng had left at ten o'clock, and Shi Jiaxin and Song Keren ordered takeaway in the office.

This left all those spectators with a feeling of regret. Why is it so tough being a bystander?

...

Outside the Blue Moon Group's gate, Du Qingyue, sitting in the car, was extremely annoyed at this moment.

They had agreed to go home together at noon. The promise was made clearly last night, but now, with the time nearing eleven thirty, Xiao Feng still hadn't appeared, making Du Qingyue feel deceived, and her affection for Xiao Feng plummeted.

Right then, a container truck drove up slowly and stopped beside Du Qingyue's vehicle.

Next moment, someone jumped down from the passenger seat. It was none other than Xiao Feng.

"Where have you been?" Du Qingyue lowered the car window, asking coldly.

Xiao Feng answered cheerfully, "I was preparing the meet-and-greet gifts. This whole truck is filled with goods I bought expensively. It's my first time visiting your home, can't go empty-handed, right?"

Du Qingyue's attitude softened upon hearing the explanation, though she was still curious, "What kind of gifts did you buy that need such a big container truck to transport?"

Xiao Feng didn't explain much. After getting into the car, he smiled, "Just wait and see, you'll know by then."

For some reason, a feeling of ominousness swept through Du Qingyue's heart, but she didn't ponder further since there wasn't much time left.

Du Qingyue's sense of time was very strong, which is essential for being a president, never arriving early but also never being late lightly.

Besides, going home this time, she didn't want anyone to catch any ridicule at her expense.

Xiao Feng signaled the container truck driver to follow, and then the two vastly different vehicles started, one after another. About half an hour later, they arrived outside the Du Family's estate.

To everyone's surprise, Du Qingyun, the patriarch, had already led the important family members to greet them outside, which shocked Du Qingyue.

In her memory, it had been a long time since Grandpa personally came out to greet guests.

"Qingyue is back, let Auntie take a look, you've become even prettier." Among the crowd, a plump woman came forward warmly and took Du Qingyue's arm.

The other wealthy wives also complimented Du Qingyue. Regardless of their inner thoughts, it was undoubtedly a harmonious family reunion scene.

This made Xiao Feng marvel that indeed one can't survive in a prestigious family without acting skills.

If someone unaware of the facts saw this, they'd probably think the Du Family was so harmonious.

While the women entertained Du Qingyue, the men led by Du Qingyun and Du Feixiang warmly welcomed Xiao Feng.

"You're Xiao Feng, right?" Du Feixiang approached first, "I'm Qingyue's elder uncle, Du Feixiang. Qingyue has mentioned you before, finally meeting today."

Xiao Feng nodded politely. Under Du Feixiang's introduction, he shook hands with each important member of the Du Family.

Finally, there was Du Qingyun, this elderly man with white hair and beard, showed a kind smile, "Qingyue has found a good partner, I'm happy for her as her grandfather. Let's not stand here, let's talk inside."

Just after he spoke, before the group could move, they saw the container truck driving over. The driver got out, came to Xiao Feng, and bowed asking, "The goods you wanted are here, shall we unload them?"

Xiao Feng nodded, "Unload them here."

"Yes!" The driver responded and then called others over to unload.

Du Qingyun and Du Feixiang exchanged glances. The latter leaned in asking, "What is this?"

"Oh." Xiao Feng replied lightly, "It's nothing special, just prepared some meet-and-greet gifts for everyone, a token from me and Qingyue."

Not long after, the driver came over quietly saying, "All unloaded, Minister Liu also asked me to pass on a message, requesting you visit the capital once you're free."

The voice was low, but some key points could be faintly heard by people nearby.

"Alright, understood, I'll definitely go if I have the time." Xiao Feng waved, indicating the driver could leave.

As Du Feixiang and the others exchanged looks, waves surged within their hearts!

Minister Liu? Visit the capital?

No need to explain what the capital represents, and a minister from the capital wanting Xiao Feng to visit, it seems he has a significant background!

Realizing this, the Du Family members started contemplating. The capital is not an ordinary place.

Let alone other things, even a section chief from the capital coming to Jiangcheng would demand respect from the municipal party secretary.

This is the specialty of capital officials, or rather, the special nature of officials within Shanhai Pass; wherever they go, they stand a notch higher than others.
