Extraordinary Genius

Chapter 1050 – Scapegoa

Lunar New Year Eve and the whole family are having their reunion dinner while watching Spring Gala night on TV. This is what most families in China do in that era.

Feng Yu’s grandfather raised his glass. “It’s the New Year again. Cheers!”

Feng Yu also poured a glass of Baijiu for himself. Anyway, they are using small glasses at home, and none of his relatives are alcohol addicts like Kirilenko.

After eating a few mouthfuls, Feng Xingtai looks at Feng Yu. “Are you enjoying dinner?”

Feng Yu looks at his father. “Yes. The dishes are delicious.”

“Don’t you think someone is missing at the table?” Feng Xingtai gave Feng Yu a side glance.

“Are you talking about Sis? She is married to the Li family, and it’s normal for her to have a reunion dinner with her husband. They always visit on the second day of Lunar New Year.” What’s wrong with a woman celebrating Lunar New Year with her husband’s family?

“Stop changing the subject. Am I talking about your sister?”

Feng Yu thought. It’s not about Sis? He realized his father is talking about Li Na.

But Feng Yu and Li Na are not married. How can Li Na spend her Lunar New Year eve at his place? But Feng Yu cannot retort or else he will be scolded for not getting married early.

Luckily, Feng Yu is prepared for this. Use his elder cousin as a scapegoat!

“Brother Danhua, when are you bringing your girlfriend back for dinner?”

Feng Danhhua, who was eating quietly, almost choked.

Feng Yu! How can you use me as a shield when your parents are scolding you?!

After Feng Yu asked this question, everyone looks at Feng Danhua, who is a few years older than Feng Yu. Feng Yu and Li Na’s families did not object to them being together.

But after Feng Danhua become a civil servant, he becomes picky. Many people had introduced women to her, but he did not date them for more than three months. His shortest relationship is less than a week, as he claims he does not have feelings for that girl!

What do you mean by no feelings? Both of you had only met a few times. If this carries on, when are you going to get married?

Feng Yu’s eldest Uncle, Feng Xingguo, scolded. “Danhua, your younger brother, is asking you a question. Why are you keeping quiet?!”action

Feng Yu lowered his head and looks at the glass in front of him.

“Dad... I still have not to find a suitable girl for me.”

“What do you mean there is no suitable girl?! How many girlfriends did you have over the past few years? Do you know what people are saying behind your back?! Ah?! Also, that Deputy Mayor’s daughter is a university graduate and is a civil servant like you. She is tall and pretty. Are you saying she is not good enough for you?” Feng Danhua’s mother scolded.

“Mum... I am looking for a wife and not their families. We should not judge a girl based on their family background. Yes... She is pretty, but she got a foul temper, and if we get married, she will get into fights with you every day.” Feng Danhua replied.

Feng Danhua is hinting that girl will not know how to please her in-laws, and if his parents can tolerate such behavior, he does not mind going back to her.

“What about that Kindergarten teacher? She should have a good temper as she is taking care of kids.”

“She also cannot make it. She does not even know how to cook like me. How are we going to live together in the future? We can’t be asking you all to cook for us every day, right?” Feng Danhua replied.

“What about that nurse from Danying’s hospital?”

“Her?! You all can ask Danying about her. She had an abortion when she was still in school!”

“Ah?! Girls are so shameless nowadays? How can a girl be sleeping around when she is still schooling?!” Feng Xingguo replied angrily.

Feng Xingtai and Zhang Muhua suddenly turned and look at Feng Yu.

“Err... Xiao Yu. I am not talking about you.” Feng Yu’s eldest Uncle said, making Feng Yu more embarrassed.

“It’s alright, Uncle.”

“Danhua, Xiao Yu, if you two are not going to get married soon, when can I carry my great-grandchild.” Feng Yu’s grandfather said.

“Grandpa, you are so healthy, you can wait at least another twenty years.” Feng Yu said.

Feng Danhua added. “That’s right. Grandpa, you don’t need to worry. Even if I didn’t get married anytime soon, there is still Xiao Yu. You had also met Li Na, and they can register their marriage anytime now. Right?”

“Errr... Brother Danhua, you are older than me, and how can I get married before you? This is our family’s tradition, and we must follow it. Right, Grandpa?” Hehe... you want to use me as your shield?!

“Yes. That’s right. Rules are rules. Danhua, you are holding your younger cousin back!” Feng Yu’s grandfather scolded.

Feng Danhua felt like crying. If Feng Yu wants to get married, who else in the family will care about their family’s tradition? Why are you all making it sound like I am the one who is stopping from Feng Yu’s marriage? This is ridiculous!

But Feng Danhua could not retort as he had lots of girlfriends and could not settle down.

This is not Feng Danhua’s fault. He was serious in every relationship, but the girls he dated are not suitable for marriage. He is now a Section Chief with the government, and with Feng Yu’s help, his family is quite well-off.

Feng Danhua has a good job, a house, a nice car, and slightly above average looks. But he just couldn’t find the right woman to settle down with. Many leaders who had introduced women to him were just because he is from Zhang Ruiqiang’s faction, and he has a wealthy family. Some even want to in touch with Feng Yu through him.

Did these women want to date him seriously?

Feng Danhua does not like the women introduced by the leaders, as all of them are spoiled, and he needs to give in to them.

Feng Danhua does not expect his future wife to listen to him on everything. Still, he is not willing to be a submissive husband!

Never mind. Feng Danhua felt he can still look around. He felt some of the average looking girls introduced to him, are still quite suitable for him.

“Grandpa, I know. I will get a girlfriend this year and will bring her back to meet you.” Feng Danhua promised.

“Yes. That’s right. Xiao Yu can get married after you are married. Come, let’s have a toast for my two grandsons to get married earlier!”

Feng Yu raised his glass and bottoms up. He is relieved and is ignoring his older cousin’s deadly stare. Yes... this will be a good year for him!
