Chapter 117: Comparing oneself to others brings anger (Seeking subscriptions and monthly votes)



Around ten o'clock, Yang Mei also arrived.

Luo Fei told everyone and went downstairs.

Yang Mei parked the car and brought out three boxes of milk from it.

"Luo Fei, quickly help me carry these upstairs."

"I said we were just having a simple meal, why bring so many things?" Luo Fei looked disapproving.

Though he knew she didn't mind the money, it's not sensible to let her overspend every time.

Yang Mei laughed, "Oh, it's just a few boxes of milk, and they're not all for you, these two boxes are for your second aunt and uncle."

"It's my first time meeting them, what if they think I'm rude for not bringing anything? Wouldn't that embarrass you too?"

Luo Fei laughed with her, "Don't worry, they aren't like that. Besides, I'm happy with my girlfriend, that's all that matters, who cares what others say."

The two laughed and chatted as they carried the milk upstairs.

Once inside, Wu Yan saw the things Luo Fei was carrying and shared the same attitude as him, but Luo Fei quickly explained the other two boxes were for Wu Xiaohui and Wu Zhiwei.

Upon hearing this, although Wu Yan said it wasn't necessary, her continuous smile proved she was very pleased with Yang Mei's gesture.

She enthusiastically held Yang Mei's hand and introduced her to Wu Xiaohui and the others.

Yang Mei was always able to charm her way in elder circles and sweetly greeted them, "Uncle, Aunt, Second Aunt, Second Uncle."

From the first glance at her, Wu Xiaohui and her siblings were surprised that their nephew found such a striking partner.

Now seeing her being polite and sweet, they were even more delighted, quickly offering her a prepared red envelope.

Yang Mei glanced at Wu Yan first, and seeing no objections, thanked them and took the red envelope.

This sensible and courteous behavior made Wu Xiaohui praise her even more, and she hurriedly pulled her to sit on the sofa.

"By the way, Yang Mei, what kind of work do you do?"

Like most elders, Wu Xiaoyan couldn't avoid gossiping a bit.

But the questions were nothing more than about her work, how she met Luo Fei, and where she was from.

Yang Mei answered each one.

Upon learning she was also a police officer and a squad leader, Wu Xiaohui and the others couldn't help but praise her again.

In the joyful atmosphere, the aunt sat to the side with complicated emotions.

She used to look down on Luo Fei, thinking he'd never amount to much in his life.

But now, he's doing better and better, found such an outstanding girlfriend, and then thought of Wu Yu still in jail...

People comparing to others can be vexing.

Yet regardless of her thoughts, she maintained a kind and amiable demeanor, following suit to praise the couple.

Afterwards, Zhao Zhenzhen arrived after finishing her classes, and the whole family joyously gathered for a meal.

After the meal, Zhao Zhenzhen needed to continue her lessons, so she said goodbye and left first.

The others gathered on the sofa again, and after chatting for a while, Wu Yan waved her hand, indicating Luo Fei and Yang Mei should go out and enjoy themselves for the afternoon.

With such understanding from his mother-in-law, Yang Mei was very happy, said goodbye to the others, and pulled Luo Fei out the door.

Before leaving, Luo Xiaoxiao pitifully expressed a desire to tag along, but before they could say anything, Wu Yan said, "Is your homework done, thinking to go out and play?"

Successfully stopping her in her tracks.

Watching the door close, Luo Xiaoxiao sat back down with grievances.

Wu Yan chuckled helplessly, tapping her forehead, "You silly girl, don't you realize your brother and Sister Yang Mei finally have a holiday, what would you do by following them?"

She purposely sent the couple out, hoping they could cultivate their relationship more, but Xiaoxiao even wanted to be a third wheel.

"But mom, I also want to go out and play." Luo Xiaoxiao held her arm and whined.

Wu Yan, shaken by her daughter's persistence, also in a good mood from Luo Fei's job promotion.

Thinking briefly, she pulled out two hundred yuan reluctantly and handed it to Luo Xiaoxiao and Luo Hao, "Then you two can go out and play too, but don't wander off, be back before four in the afternoon!"

These recent days the two had behaved relatively well, especially Luo Hao, who stayed home to study after school instead of playing basketball, deserving some reward.

The siblings were overjoyed, nodded excitedly, and ran off with the money.

Wu Xiaohui watched this scene and couldn't help but sigh, "In the blink of an eye, these two little ones grew up so fast, now you've really come into your own."

"Oh, it's not that quick... There's still a long way to go."

Wu Yan sighed deeply and started chatting with the others...

Meanwhile, after Luo Fei came out.

"Where to play?"

"How about going to the movies? I heard there's a horror film showing recently, Wu Xiaoyue said it's pretty good."

Yang Mei thought for a moment and said.

"Horror film? You actually like watching that?"

"Why? Can't I like it?"

Luo Fei chuckled as he started the car, "No, I'm just surprised, aren't girls naturally timid?"

"Have you forgotten what my job is? I'm a forensic expert, haven't seen all kinds of corpses, how could a horror film scare me?"

"Haha, true..."

Just like that, the two went to watch the movie, then wandered around outside, only returning home at eight in the evening.

The next day, being Sunday, was Luo Fei's treat day.

Though he said previously not to notify anyone again, to avoid anyone forgetting, he still planned to mention it in the group chat.
