"I never take back things I give away. If I don't want it, I'll just delete it and throw it away," An Jing said without turning her head as she drove.
Zhou Wen placed the USB drive back into his pocket when he heard that. A USB drive wasn't worth much, so there was no need to return it to An Jing. Although he didn't know if the Sun Strafe Art in it was real or fake, it was just as An Jing had said. He could just delete it.
Without a word on the way, An Jing quickly drove him to a spot.
Zhou Wen originally believed that Li Xuan was a tycoon just from living in a villa, but when he saw this, he realized what it meant to be a real tycoon. This place was like a park.
An Jing drove the car in. Amidst the exquisite and elegant garden, there were quite a number of modern-style buildings. However, they perfectly blended in with the surrounding garden. They were in picturesque disorder, clearly designed by a famous designer.
In front of a three-story building, An Jing stopped the car and led Zhou Wen into the building through the main entrance.
Just as he entered the hall, he saw a mature and elegant woman sitting on the sofa with Zhou Lingfeng.
Zhou Wen sized up the woman and saw that she resembled the photo Zhou Lingfeng had sent. She was likely Ouyang Lan, but she was prettier and more elegant in person than in the photo. She looked to be in her thirties.
"Hello, Auntie." Zhou Wen took the initiative to greet her. Firstly, he didn't want to put Zhou Lingfeng in a difficult position. Secondly, he wanted to make it clear that he had no intention of acknowledging Ouyang Lan as his mother.
"Little Wen, you're here. You're much more handsome in person than in the photo. It's just that you don't look too good. I happened to cook some ginseng soup. Have some later to nourish yourself." Ouyang Lan got up and pulled Zhou Wen by the hand to the sofa.
"Thank you, Auntie." Although Zhou Wen didn't have a high EQ, he wasn't foolish enough to reject Ouyang Lan's kind intentions. All he wanted was to successfully finish the meal and return to gaming. He wanted to see if he could kill the Silver-Winged Flying Ant.
Ouyang Lan was clearly the type of person with a high EQ. Even though it was their first time meeting, Zhou Wen didn't feel any distance between them. It was as though they had known each other for a long time.
Zhou Wen originally believed that Zhou Lingfeng was someone with a glib tongue, but when he was with Ouyang Lan, Zhou Lingfeng appeared somewhat stiff. It left Zhou Wen alarmed.
"These are fresh persimmons that were just delivered. Xiao Jing, you like eating persimmons the most. Try them first. They're very sweet." Ouyang Lan seemed to feel that she had neglected An Jing by the side. She personally picked up a rosy and alluring persimmon and handed it to An Jing.
An Jing took the persimmon, peeled it, and took a bite. It was indeed sweet.
"Here, have another one." Seeing An Jing finish eating, Ouyang Lan gave her another one.
An Jing took the persimmon and deliberately glanced at Zhou Wen. Although she didn't say a word, Zhou Wen understood what she meant.
"A biological mother is a biological mother." An Jing seemed to be saying that because Ouyang Lan didn't give a persimmon to Zhou Wen.
Zhou Wen didn't mind. Ouyang Lan was An Jing's biological mother, so it was normal for her to dote on An Jing. There was no need for him to be jealous. Furthermore, he had no intention of integrating into the family, so there was naturally no reason for him to mind.
While Ouyang Lan was chatting with Zhou Wen, a butler-like person came over and said, "Madam, dinner is ready."
"You must be hungry after waiting for so long. Eat more later." Ouyang Lan pulled Zhou Wen to the dining room and even got him to sit beside her. Instead, An Jing could only sit at a seat further away.
Zhou Wen saw that the dishes on the table looked, smelled, and looked great. He had never seen many of them before, but there was a huge lobster that Zhou Wen recognized at a glance.
Ever since the dimensional storms, most of the sea had become a dimensional zone. The creatures inside had mutated, so it was much harder to eat seafood than before.
Zhou Wen had only read about lobsters in history books, biology books, and the Internet. He had never seen the real thing, much less eaten it. It was especially so in an inland area like Guide City. It was almost impossible to eat seafood, much less such a huge lobster.
"This lobster was just flown in this morning. I even made it myself. Little Jing loves this kind of lobster the most," Ouyang Lan said.
As there was only one lobster, Zhou Wen believed that Ouyang Lan was telling him to be tactful and not snatch the lobster from An Jing.
An Jing was somewhat touched when she heard that. Her frosty face finally revealed a smile as she gave Zhou Wen a provocative look.
However, Ouyang Lan said with a look of regret, "However, seafood like lobster can't be eaten with persimmons. Otherwise, it will cause diarrhea and, in serious cases, food poisoning. An Jing just ate a persimmon, so I'll leave this lobster to you, Little Wen. Have a taste of my culinary skills."
With that said, Ouyang Lan placed the lobster on Zhou Wen's plate.
Instantly, An Jing, who was about to grab the lobster, froze. Zhou Wen wore a look of shock.
It's on purpose. It's definitely on purpose … No matter how Zhou Wen looked at it, Ouyang Lan had deliberately given An Jing a persimmon. It was clearly a trap.
It was no wonder Zhou Wen found it odd. With Ouyang Lan's high EQ, there were several persimmons on the plate. It wasn't like An Jing could finish them all by herself, so why wouldn't she give one to Zhou Wen?
Is this really An Jing's biological mother? Zhou Wen looked at the elegant Ouyang Lan with her bright eyes and white teeth, his mind filled with questions.
Regardless, Ouyang Lan seemed to treat Zhou Wen very well. If one didn't know them, they would think that Ouyang Lan was Zhou Wen's biological mother and An Jing was the burden of his ex-wife.
An Jing's expression didn't look too good, but it was obvious that her upbringing wasn't bad. Despite feeling aggrieved, she didn't leave in anger. Instead, she waited until the end of the meal.
However, she was in a rather bad mood, so she only ate a little.
Zhou Wen finally understood what it meant to feel at home, to feel like a spring breeze, and to feel like returning home.
Even someone as slow and distant as Zhou Wen had to admit that Ouyang Lan was indeed someone who made it difficult for others to feel ill will. He was even very willing to be close to her.
"Little Wen, I heard that you were admitted to Sunset College. You must have suffered a lot, right? It's not easy for students from other places to be admitted to Sunset College. I don't have much to give you, so treat this as a greeting gift. "After the meal, just as Zhou Wen was about to bid farewell and leave, Ouyang Lan handed him a card.
Zhou Wen originally imagined that it was something like a bank card. Just as he was about to reject it, he heard Ouyang Lan say, "This is Sunset College's dorm card. It's the kind with a single room. I heard from Ling Feng that you like peace and quiet, so I got the principal to prepare one. After you matriculate, just stay in the dorm according to the card number. You have to accept this small gift. Don't make me think that this gift was prepared too casually, alright? "
"Thank you, Auntie. I like this gift very much." Zhou Wen thought for a moment before accepting the gift. Since Ouyang Lan had expressed her goodwill, he didn't wish to be the bad guy. A dorm card was nothing. Furthermore, a single room was indeed very useful to Zhou Wen.
Ouyang Lan's gift made Zhou Wen's impression of her rise. Even giving her a gift made him feel comfortable. Ouyang Lan was truly a meticulous person.
"By the way, don't call me Auntie in the future. Am I that old? Just call me Sis Lan in the future, "Ouyang Lan said with a faint smile.
