Jiangnan City, Pingan County, is a well-known impoverished county in Jiangnan Province, and even throughout China, or perhaps it could be referred to as a mountainous area.
The majority of the residents there primarily engage in farming or go out to work in other places, and many, because of their low level of education, often get involved in criminal activities when they are away from home, which has caused Pingan County to have a notorious reputation across China.
Jiang's father and Jiang's mother had previously lived in Jiangnan City for quite a long time and naturally knew about the infamous reputation of Pingan County.
Not just them, Qi Jian and that Aunt Mei had also heard about it.
At this moment, when they heard that Ye Feng was from that impoverished ravine, the corners of Qi Jian's mouth couldn't help but curl up slightly, a hint of amusement flashing in his eyes:
"Pingan County? The name of this small county has become quite famous in our Mingzhu recently! Wasn't the main perpetrator of that major murder and robbery case that happened a few days ago from Pingan County?"
The implications of Qi Jian's words were clear, and Aunt Mei next to him instantly understood, her mouth curving into a sneer as she agreed:
"Qi Jian is right! It was said that the main perpetrator, when he came to work in Mingzhu, got acquainted with a local woman, and they started dating. Later, the main perpetrator tricked the woman out of 600,000 yuan for gambling, and after losing it all, he demanded more money from the woman. When he didn't succeed, he ruthlessly killed the woman's entire family and even sold all the valuable items in the woman's home. He was a true ingrate!"
As she spoke, Aunt Mei glanced at Jiang's mother, seemingly kindly reminding her:
"Sister-in-law, your family should also be careful. Rascals often come from poor and isolated places, and those from impoverished ravines tend to lack both quality and conscience!"
Her words made both Jiang's mother and Jiang's father's expressions turn somewhat unsightly, as they were also aware of that case and similarly felt anger at the heinous actions of the main perpetrator.
"Enough!!!"
At this moment, Jiang Ying could no longer hold back. She never imagined that two outsiders would dare to insult Ye Feng in her own home.
"Aunt Mei, I respect you as an elder, but please watch your words a bit! Ye Feng is my boyfriend, and I know what kind of person he is. It's not your place to point fingers here!"
Jiang Ying's phoenix eyes were fixed on Aunt Mei, with visible anger, and at this moment, she no longer gave any face to Aunt Mei, the elder.
Her words caused Aunt Mei's face to alternate between shades of green and red, as if she had been slapped in the face, feeling both angry and humiliated by the rebuke from a younger relative.
"Xiaoying! What way is that to speak to your Aunt Mei! You're a university president; you should know to respect your elders!" Jiang's mother immediately scolded Jiang Ying sharply, and then turned her eyes to Ye Feng:
"Ye Feng, my first question was just now, now I ask the second one, what job are you currently doing?"
Jiang's mother was a businesswoman who liked to get straight to the point in everything she did, and upon hearing this, Ye Feng could only show a bitter smile.
Right now, he actually had three identities: student, driver, and the honorary gynecology expert at Jiangnan Central Hospital.
However, he didn't have any proof of his status as an honorary gynecology expert, and if he told Jiang's mother and the others, they would surely think he was full of hot air.
As for being a student, he dared not mention it either, for if they discovered he was still a student of President Jiang, they would definitely throw him out.
Considering this, Ye Feng could only reply helplessly, "I'm currently working as a driver for a company!"
A driver?
Upon hearing about Ye Feng's job, everyone present was momentarily stunned, followed by laughter from Aunt Mei and Qi Jian.
In an ordinary family, being a driver might not be considered a very good job, but it definitely isn't bad.
But the Jiang family was different; they were a noble family. Although Jiang's father conducted himself in low-profile manners, who in Mingzhu City would dare to overlook the energy of the Jiang family!
For such a prestigious family, having a son-in-law who is a driver is an absolute humiliation.
"Auntie! I don't mean to look down on the job of a driver, but if this gets back to the old master of the Jiang family, I'm afraid..."
At this moment, as Qi Jian observed the unpleasing look on Jiang's mother's face, a faint smile played upon his lips as he spoke directly.
Old Master Jiang, naturally, was Jiang Ying's grandfather, as well as the President of the Mingzhu Business Association and the helmsman of the Jiang Family!
Jiang Father ranked second among his siblings, with an older brother above him and a younger sister below him, and the Jiang Family was one of the top four in Mingzhu City!
"Xiaoying, come over here!"
Jiang Mother's face was livid, especially after Qi Jian and Aunt Mei's provocation, her anger towards her own daughter was overwhelming, and she immediately dragged Jiang Ying off towards the bedroom.
Seeing this scene, Qi Jian and Aunt Mei exchanged a glance, the corners of their mouths curling up into a playful smirk.
"Ahem… Ye Feng, come and sit!"
Compared to Jiang Mother, Jiang Father was much kinder, and noticing the slightly awkward atmosphere, he promptly took Ye Feng to sit on the living room couch.
At that moment, on the coffee table in front of the sofa, there was a set of Purple Sand Pot tea utensils, and Jiang Father, while starting to make the tea, said to Ye Feng with a smile:
"Your aunt is a businesswoman and has been striving in the marketplace for many years, carrying inevitably the strong smell of copper! Don't take it to heart, she's not bad by nature!"
Jiang Father was exceedingly amiable, and he showed no contempt for Ye Feng, even though he came from Pingan County and was a mere driver, instead, his eyes twinkled with appreciation.
Jiang Father had seen countless people and had a keen eye!
From the very first time he saw Ye Feng, he observed him carefully.
He found this young man, though just a driver, exuded an extraordinary temperament.
Especially since entering the door, there had not been a trace of nervousness or constraint on his face.
Moreover, facing the mockery of Qi Jian and Aunt Mei, his expression remained calm as ever, this breadth of spirit and self-restraint alone earned Jiang Father's recognition!
This young man was no ordinary person!
That was Jiang Father's first impression of Ye Feng!
"So uncle also enjoys Kung Fu Tea!"
Ye Feng did not know what Jiang Father was thinking, but he could feel the other's goodwill, watching with a smile as Jiang Father brewed the tea.
Upon hearing Ye Feng's words, Jiang Father paused briefly, then, with a look of surprise, laughed and asked:
"Really? You also like Kung Fu Tea?"
Nowadays, it was rare to find young people who enjoyed Kung Fu Tea. Even Jiang Ying seldom drank tea.
In the world of these young people, red wine, soft drinks, coffee, those Western things were their preferred choices.
"I used to drink it often, but after some events, I've seldom had any!" Ye Feng replied with a smile.
Kung Fu Tea was Li Qingshan's favorite; after so many years with the old man, Ye Feng had drank it more than just a few times.
However, after Li Qingshan's death, when he moved to Jiangnan City, he had not had it even once.
"Very well! The tea ceremony is a cultural essence of our China, it's rare for someone your age to appreciate it!"
After speaking, Jiang Father's eyes shimmered with an unusual light, and he asked directly:
"Ye Feng, do you understand the Dao of tea?"
