Chapter 396: Chapter 416: You Seem to Have a Fear of Marriage _1

Lin Chen could sense that Feng Yazhen was quite excited.

Perhaps it was because of her relationship with her mother, or perhaps it was the surprise of suddenly having a 27-year-old nephew.

"Let me tell you, I have admired your mom since I was little, especially after I became an adult. I admire her even more."

"As you know, the Feng family is considered one of the wealthy families. Daughters from wealthy families rarely have much say in their marriages. Even if they are given some freedom, they still have to follow the rule of marrying someone of equal social status. I can remain unmarried and free today, thanks to your mom."

"Your mom eloped for love back then and never looked back, which made your maternal grandparents really angry. But with your mom as a precedent, they have not been too strict with me. Plus, I have been abroad for years, so they’re worried that I might follow your mom’s example and marry someone overseas, never coming back."

Lin Chen listened to Feng Yazhen’s words while scrolling through the photos she saved with his mouse.

In the photos, Lin Yuan was looking handsome and elegant, with a hint of toughness in his scholarly demeanor. Feng Lan was as delicate as a flower, and her face showed happiness. Feng Yazhen, the third wheel, wore a dress, either sticking to Feng Lan or Lin Yuan, looking innocent, and extremely happy.

"Aunt, why haven’t you gotten married yet?"

Feng Yazhen crossed her legs and laughed, "I haven’t met the right person yet. Marriage is a lifetime commitment, so I shouldn’t rush. Besides, with my personality, men may like to be friends with me or even date me, but there aren’t many who would want to marry me."

Lin Chen looked sideways at Feng Yazhen and asked curiously, "You’re quite pretty, so why wouldn’t they want to marry you?"

Feng Yazhen laughed, "Do you want to marry a woman who’s like a queen? Besides, I’m good at beating people up, so who would dare to marry me since some of those men would lose a fight against me? They’re all playboys who would probably worry about becoming eunuchs in their sleep after marrying me..."

"And, how nice it is to be single now! I can date and have fun as I please, without any constraints. If I got married and had kids, wouldn’t that kind of life be dull?"

Lin Chen couldn’t help but laugh, "It sounds like you have a bit of a fear of marriage."

Feng Yazhen chuckled, "Pretty much. Anyway, I’m the youngest in the family, and I have two older brothers, so whether I get married or not doesn’t really matter. My grandparents have given up on me and left me alone."

Lin Chen’s scrolling suddenly stopped.

On the computer screen was a family photo with his mother holding a baby and his father squatting beside them, playing with the baby’s finger.

The baby was laughing, the mother was smiling gently, and the father was laughing heartily...

"This is the only family photo your mom sent me after you were born."

Lin Chen felt emotional, "Can you send it to me?"

"Of course, why don’t you make a copy of all the photos? Although you don’t have any memories of them, they must have loved you dearly."

"Thank you!"

Lin Chen took out his phone and made a copy of all the photos.

Feng Yazhen checked the time and smiled, "Your eldest uncle’s family has arrived. Let’s go downstairs."

Lin Chen had already adjusted his mentality by now and smiled, "Okay!"

Lin Chen didn’t have a good impression of wealthy families. Most of the ones he had encountered were far from clean. Therefore, he didn’t have any expectations for this visit. However, the attitudes of his two grandparents and his aunt had exceeded his expectations so far.

Lin Chen and Feng Yazhen went downstairs, where it was already getting lively. The eldest uncle’s family of five had arrived.

Eldest uncle Feng Shujie, his wife Luo Yuran, their son Feng Hang, their younger son Feng Hao, and their daughter Feng Tangtang, all had their eyes on Lin Chen.

Feng Shujie looked at Lin Chen and laughed, "He looks just like Lin Yuan! They could be molded from the same mold!"

Luo Yuran, the eldest uncle’s wife, sighed with a smile, "His father looked just like this back then, and in the blink of an eye, the child has grown so big. Time really flies."

Feng Shujie walked over, patted Lin Chen’s shoulder, and laughed, "You look great! I’m your eldest uncle. No matter what happened in the past, it’s good that you’re back now!"

Soon after, Feng Shuying, the second uncle, and his family of four arrived, making the house even more lively.

Through the greetings, Lin Chen learned that his father and mother were already in love when his eldest uncle and aunt got married. Lin Yuan had spent some time in Xijing back then, so they were familiar with him. Among the group of elders, only the second uncle’s wife hadn’t seen Lin Yuan and Feng Lan together because she married Feng Shuying after everything had happened.

At the dining table, the elders were all very enthusiastic towards Lin Chen. Although the younger generation wasn’t particularly close, they still observed the necessary etiquette.

After dinner, Feng Hao received a phone call and started to ask for leave, "Dad, Zhou Jun and the others invited me to hang out. I’ll go first."

Feng Tangtang’s eyes lit up at once, "Brother, I want to go too."

Feng Shujie glanced at Lin Chen sitting on the side and said with a smile, "Young people should play with other young people. It’s boring for them to sit with a group of elders like us. Lin Chen, why don’t you go with Xiao Hao, Tangtang, and the others? It’ll be a chance for you to get to know each other. Xiao Hao, make sure to send your cousin back to his grandparents’ house later..."
