Chapter 171 Meeting mother-in-law

"Eh? What are they doing?" Xie Yao asked as she saw the scene in front of her.

After returning to the airstrip where the plane they had traveled on was located to pick up their luggage, the sight they saw came as a bit of a surprise to all of them.

A large number of men and women were moving hurriedly working their way around the plane.

"Hurry up with that door, we don't have much time to spare!"

Shouted a woman holding a tablet in her hand as she pointed to a man driving a considerable sized cargo truck. Apparently, she was the one in charge of what was happening.

As the cargo truck came to a stop, a small man reached around the back and opened the truck doors. After the small man climbed into the back of the truck it was a few seconds before he climbed out again... It's just that in his hands was a large steel door.

The steel door weighed several hundred pounds but in the little man's hands, it seemed to weigh nothing as he approached the plane. But because Xie Yao and Shen Xinya already knew about the Espers, neither was too surprised by the sight.

"They are repairing the broken plane." Yin Yue, who seemed to understand the situation, explained, "Since the memories planted in everyone's mind was about a normal flight, the plane naturally can't be damaged."

While saying the last line, Yin Yue couldn't help but look at Xie Feng... She seemed to be saying that it was his fault.

"Woman, it's not my fault." Xie Feng shrugged, "I had no choice but to destroy the door if I wanted to subdue the other terrorist and regain command of the plane."

"Is that so?" Shen Xinya, who still kept her face covered, laughed softly, "But what about the floor of the business area? Was that also inevitable?"

Cough...

Xie Feng could not say anything at Shen Xinya's words. Although he was technically innocent, he was also technically guilty for what happened...

"Well, let's get our stuff and get out of here." Xie Feng said as he walked towards the plane with quick steps.

Seeing him escape like that, the girls looked at each other with strange smiles before following him.

After several minutes of searching, Xie Feng and the girls finally got their belongings back.

While Xie Feng only carried a suitcase with some clothes and Xie Yao a suitcase with clothes and some cosmetics, Shen Xinya, Gu Qianxue, and Yin Yue had no luggage with them.

"Why didn't you bring anything with you?" Xie Feng asked as he stepped off the plane. He could understand Gu Qianxue not bringing luggage since her parents' house and her closet full of clothes were in Beijing, but what about Shen Xinya and Yin Yue?

""Of course we are going shopping.""

As if they had practiced it for several days, Shen Xinya and Yin Yue talked at the same time and in the same tone of voice. They seemed to say it as if it was the most obvious and normal thing in the world.

In the end, Xie Feng decided not to argue about women's excessive pleasure in shopping. Even if they didn't buy anything they seemed to fill their eyes with just looking at the clothes, shoes, and pretty bags.

Xie Feng waited in the company of four beautiful ladies for about five minutes before a military helicopter slowly descended from the skies and landed in front of them.

The rear hatch of the helicopter opened and a man accompanied by a middle-aged woman climbed down.

"My little girl!"

Before everyone could even say the first letter of the alphabet, the middle-aged woman began to run towards them and without paying attention to anything in the world, hugged Gu Qianxue.

"Mom... It hasn't been a month since we met, what's with that reaction?"

Even as she said that, Gu Qianxue's arms were already tightly hugging her mother Fang Yanran. Clearly she had missed her too.

"Little girl, I thought something bad had happened but your father wasn't willing to tell me the truth!" as she was talking, Fang Yanran fulminated with her gaze at Gu Pojun, who was standing behind her: "I only just found out from Colonel Tang's call that the plane you were traveling on was taken over by some rogues!"

Then, as if remembering something, Fang Yanran continued to move at her pace and looked at Xie Feng several times. Just as Xie Feng was beginning to feel a little uncomfortable, she bowed:

"You must be Xie Feng right? My name is Fang Yanran, mother of Qianxue. Thank you very much for helping my daughter in Shanghai and rescuing her from danger."

Xie Feng almost fell to the ground when he saw the woman who was technically his mother-in-law, bowing to him!

"No no no! Mistress Fang, please don't do that!" quickly, Xie Feng supported her to straighten her up. How could he let the woman who was Gu Qianxue's mother do something like that? It was disrespectful!

While Gu Qianxue and Xie Yao were not surprised by Xie Feng's behavior, Gu Pojun raised an eyebrow as he thought to himself:

'Since when did this troublesome brat become so good-natured?'

On the other hand, Fang Yanran scanned Xie Feng again and said regretfully: 'Too bad I'm only an old woman approaching 40 now. If I were ten... No, five years younger, I would certainly pursue such a handsome and kind young man like you instead of marrying this heartless man."

Fang Yanran's last words were said as she looked at her husband angrily. Clearly she had not yet forgiven him for lying to her while her daughter was in danger.

Seeing the scene in front of him unfolding in such a manner, Xie Feng could not help but look at Gu Pojun with a mocking smile planted on his face, rejoicing at his misfortune.

Gu Pojun rolled his eyes. He really hadn't lied! His daughter was not in danger at any time! Unfortunately, his wife wouldn't listen to him no matter what.

In the end, Gu Pojun looked at Xie Feng from head to toe before asking:

"And who are you?"

Hearing that question, Xie Yao couldn't help but cover her mouth and laugh softly. She knew what Gu Pojun meant by those words. Gu Pojun was clearly referring to Xie Feng's current change of appearance.

On the other hand, Xie Feng's face turned black as he said:

"You want to know who I am, old thing? Ask your daughter."

"Uh? "Gu Pojun and Fang Yanran looked at each other in confusion... Fortunately or unfortunately, neither of them noticed the slight blush on their daughter Gu Qianxue's face.

How could Gu Qianxue not understand what Xie Feng was implying with those words? He was clearly saying implicitly that he had stolen his daughter!

In the end, Gu Pojun decided to let it go. He looked at Xie Yao with a smile and gently patted her hair as he praised:

"Girl, every day you become more and more beautiful. In just a few months since I visited your home but you have become even more charming."

"Hehe... Thank you for the praise. Uncle Gu looks as healthy as ever. No one would think you are a man of 50." Xie Yao smiled sweetly like a little angel, making Gu Pojun laugh.

Then, Gu Pojun looked at Yin Yue and Shen Xinya and asked in confusion, "This is..."

Although Xie Feng could act casually in front of Gu Pojun, greatly surprising Yin Yue and Shen Xinya, the two of them did not dare to act like that.

"Lord Gu probably won't remember me." Yin Yue smiled politely, "My name is Yin Yue, I am Miss Shen's manager and bodyguard."

"Miss Shen..?" Gu Pojun murmured in confusion. However, he seemed to think of something as he quickly looked at Shen Xinya: "You are Shen Duan's daughter?"

Shen Xinya slowly took off the scarf covering her face and smiled like a heavenly fairy: "Uncle Gu, it's been a year since we last met. My father always talks about you and also explicitly told me to greet you in his place."

Seeing the smile and the great beauty in front of him, even an experienced man like Gu Pojun was stunned for a moment. Finally, he shook his head and said slowly:

"Little girl, although I am not quite sure, I could swear that last year you were not as beautiful as you are now. What kind of food does your father feed you? If goddesses exist, I'd like to know if any of them reach your level."

"Thank you very much for the compliment, Uncle Gu. Xinya is honored by your words."

Gu Pojun's praise was from the bottom of his heart. Not as a man attracted to a woman sexually, but as a man who appreciates beauty. No matter what age, even an old man of 100 years old still knew and could admire the beauty.

Seeing Shen Xinya acting like this, Xie Feng's mouth twitched a couple of times. He even doubted his eyes.

'What happened to this naughty little devil?' he thought.

Yin Yue seemed to understand his thoughts as she looked at him with a bitter smile as if she was telling him that she understood his current emotions.

On the other hand, Xie Yao's eyes widened as she stared at Shen Xinya, who had finally revealed her full face.

Perhaps, feeling Xie Yao's gaze fixed on her, Shen Xinya also stared at her with a smile on her face.
