Chapter 395: Chapter 396 Eat Slowly (2)_1

"No problem," Fengzhen Wan remained unbothered.

"But you don’t have to wait for me to finish eating. You can talk while eating," Nan Feng said, picking at the bones of a phoenix claw.

Something about Jiang Fengzhen, always grinning with malice, worried her.

"Well, if that’s the case, I’ll start talking," Jiang Fengzhen’s eyes squinted in amusement. "I’ve always admired your Spikenard Square. Before meeting you, I really wanted to see you in person. Now that I’ve met you, I like you even more. How do you manage to be so likable? My daughter’s the same age as you, but all she does is lie around at home, idling away. If only she could be half as dedicated as you."

Nan Feng picked up a soup dumpling and began to eat it, "Mrs Jiang, you are too kind. If I came from a family like yours, I’d be happy to lounge around at home all the time too. Unfortunately, I don’t have that luxury. I need to work to stand on my own two feet in this county."

"Ah," Fengzhen Wan sighed. "Actually, I’ve asked about your background a while ago, how pitiful that you lost your mother at such a young age. I’m old enough to be your mother. How about this, consider me your godmother from now on. How does that sound?"

Flabbergasted, Nan Feng quickly replied, "No, no, in my eyes, a godparent is someone who’s taken care of me as a child or someone who’s related to my parents. You have your own child and you certainly haven’t raised me. To casually call you ’Godmother,’ would be awkward. I’m sorry, Mrs Jiang, but I won’t be able to."

Jiang Fengzhen laughed, "What an honest child you are! Emotions can be cultivated over time."

"I spend my entire day running the shop, I don’t have time to cultivate relationships with you or anyone else. I don’t even get time to cultivate a relationship with my fiancé."

The sweetness in Jiang Fengzhen’s smile began to fade, as she peeked at Nan Feng through half-closed eyes to gauge her reaction.

She probably thought Nan Feng was playing tricks on her.

Of course, Nan Feng noticed Jiang Fengzhen’s disdain. Feigning ignorance, she continued to enjoy her soup dumplings and tea, making a satisfied sound after each bite and sip, signifying that the food was delicious.

Jiang Fengzhen, being a seasoned player in the Jianghu, managed her emotions quickly. Changing her tune, she kept smiling at Nan Feng and said, "So, you have a fiancé already? Is he also from Da Ping Village?"

"Yes, he is. Do you have relatives in Da Ping Village as well, Mrs Jiang? Who told you about me?"

Jiang Fengzhen smoothed her hair back, "No, I don’t have any relatives there. But, a while back, a lady from Da Ping Village came to my shop to buy rouge. We chatted and she mentioned you."

"The lady?" Nan Feng thought it must be Wenxuan’s mother, as she is the only one who would come to town to buy rouge.

Jiang Fengzhen continued, "After buying the rouge, she left without divulging much. She just mentioned a fellow villager who sells facial masks in town and is doing well. I guessed it was you and turns out I was right."

"Hmm," Nan Feng merely replied, then directly met the gaze of Jiang Fengzhen sitting across her, trying to glean some information from her eyes.

Making Jiang Fengzhen uncomfortable under her scrutiny, she laughed again, "It’s nothing of much importance really. That lady merely mentioned you, and a couple of days ago at the Business Association, I noted you had joined. I thought since we’re in the same industry, we should get acquainted."
