Chapter 261 - The Small Groups
Chapter 261 – The Small Groups
"Are you close to all of them?" Nan Luo couldn't help but ask when he heard the row of names that Feng Ao Kuai mentioned to them.
Feng Ao Kuai blinked his eyes then shook his head. They were all children in his eyes. He didn't even pay much attention to them. In fact, he was not close to any of them except for Feng Kang Xiang.
The rest had quite a large age gap with him.
Or well, he grew up faster than them and naturally didn't feel that close to those brats who were roaming around him.
As expected, after a round of greetings, there were already several groups formed. At one side, there was Feng Mo Yue who was the center of attention. At another side, several others were playing together. At another one, there was someone who was sitting silently alone.
Feng Kang Xiang was sticking close to Feng Ao Kuai plus there was a small tail behind them.
"Big brother," the small kid called out in his cute voice.
Nan Luo looked at the young brat and felt like he really should have followed Feng Ao Si. The brat was only five or so years old, but he had striking appearance with Feng Kang Xiang. It was not hard to guess that the brat must be Feng Kang Xiang's blood related brother from the same mother.
Feng Kang Xiang smiled helplessly. "This is Feng Kang Ming, my younger brother."
"Feng Kang Ming greets older brother and sister." Feng Kang Ming smiled brightly.
Nan Hua looked at the young brat and felt a bit at loss. What should she do when facing such a little kid who was not her enemies? In her previous lives, it was not uncommon to see child soldiers or spies who were sent out because their deceiving appearance could benefit them.
Even she was sent out from the time when she was still a child.
Thus, facing such an innocent child… was a very difficult task for Nan Hua.
"Brother, Sister, let's eat," Feng Kang Ming added cutely.
"Kang Xiang, Kang Ming, don't disturb your cousin." A woman walked to them and pulled Feng Kang Ming a bit. She was still in her twenties and looked exceptionally beautiful. However, there was traces of fatigue visible within her face. It made her look older than her age supposed her to be.
"Aunt Mei," Feng Ao Kuai greeted. "It's fine."
Madam Mei, Feng Ao Kuai's third uncle's main wife. Because the third uncle was an official, he had the most concubines. It could be said for his main wife to be able to give him two children was already very good. In addition, Feng Kang Ming was the youngest of the bunch.
Madam Mei smiled faintly. "Sorry for trouble you, Ao Kuai. Kang Xiang always talks about you and how much he wishes to be like you."
"I like to interact with Kang Xiang too," Feng Ao Kuai responded politely.
"Mother, I would like to stay here."
"This…" Madam Mei looked hesitant.
Feng Ao Kuai nodded. "Let him join in this table. The table is enough for four people."
Four people.
Madam Mei understood that Feng Ao Kuai didn't want the little brat to follow along. In addition, she also couldn't possibly leave Feng Kang Ming roam around because the other women would surely try to target him. "Many thanks for your kindness, Ao Kuai. I'll leave Kang Xiang in your care. Kang Ming, come with me."
"Yes, Mother." Feng Kang Ming was a bit dejected, but he followed his mother's instruction.
On the other hand, Feng Kang Xiang sat down beside Feng Ao Kuai on their small round table. Food was started to be served with many other people were waiting for the host. The children were already a bit impatient, though.
Nan Luo looked at Feng Kang Xiang and then looked at the table with disinterest. He was more curious as to what those people were going to do with him and his twin sister. Hopefully nothing.
On the other hand, Nan Hua was listening from the side. Her eyes were watching Feng Kang Xiang as she lowered her gaze. The people in Feng Family was not all innocent. Even the young children had to grow up faster.
"Cousin Ao Kuai?"
"If you wish to stay in this table, behave yourself." Feng Ao Kuai arched his eyebrows.
Feng Kang Xiang smiled lightly and nodded with ease. He had no other intention but to stay with Feng Ao Kuai in front of his grandfather. This was the only way for him to increase his value.
Even if it was only a little bit.
Feng Ao Kuai naturally knew about it, but he let him do as he wished.
"Mother, I'm already hungry."
"Wait a bit more…"
Feng Mo Yue pursed her lips as she looked at the row of delicious food in front of her. Right now, she was so hungry that she would not care about anything else and only hope that there would be food to eat.
She glanced to the side and saw Nan Hua and Nan Luo on the same table with Feng Ao Kuai. Her eyes turned red. "Mother, why are those two with Cousin Ao Kuai?"
Lin Qiang had already heard about those two from her husband. She didn't know that they were actually Feng Ao Si and Feng Ao Kuai's cousins and ended up offending them. It seemed that she was doomed when she first listened to the other's words.
Even though she was unhappy, there was nothing that she could do.
"Don't bother with them."
"But Grandfather…."
Lin Qiang's eyes flashed. She looked at her daughter and shook her head. "Don't try to do anything funny in front of him, Yue'er."
Feng Mo Yue was looking at her mother's eyes and felt a bit aggrieved. She really wanted to be able to use her grandfather's status to be able to live well. However, her grandfather didn't like her.
Thus, she had been racking her brains to be able to get close to him.
It was hard.
