Blue Feifei of the Gu family

  "Ding dong......"

  Not long after a crisp doorbell sound, the heavy solid wood anti-theft door was gently opened. Then, the face of a middle-aged woman with a majestic aura appeared from the open door. When the middle-aged woman who opened the door saw the smiling girl looking at her, she smiled kindly: "Dead girl, coming home still troubles mom to open the door! Forgot to bring the key again?"

  "Mom, didn't I just pour it out with my hands? Even the door hinge relies on me to help, hurry up and take it from me, it's too heavy..." The girl said in a spoiled tone.

  It was only then that the middle-aged woman noticed that her daughter was still holding a black ceramic vase over half a meter high in her arms, which seemed to be quite heavy.

  After letting the girl in, the middle-aged woman hastily took over the jar from her daughter's arms, weighed it twice, and curiously asked the girl who was bending down to change her shoes: "Feifei, didn't you go out to play with Xiaofeng? Where did you get this jar from? What's inside?"

  Just by the name, it's clear that the girl who came back with a black jar is none other than Lan Feifei, Wei Feng's girlfriend, who just returned from Zhang Jin's house. And this middle-aged woman is naturally He Manli, Lan Feifei's mother, who is also the director of the Labor Bureau of Shen City.

  When she heard her mother mention the black ceramic vase she brought back, Lan FeiFei said with some pride: "It's definitely something good, guess what!"

  …………

  Lan Zedong, as a deputy mayor with a standing committee identity, while gaining great power, also had to lose some very important things, such as vacations.

  When Lan Ze Dong finally exhausted his Sunday holiday in the endless work, he dragged his tired body back home. As soon as he opened the door, his beloved daughter Lan Fei Fei came up like a butterfly, with a smiling face and said: "Dad, why are you just back? Can't even take a break on Sundays!" This daughter still knows how to care for her parents.

  Seeing his daughter, Lan Zedong, who was obviously exhausted in body and mind, was very happy. This could be seen from the fact that he was about to overflow with doting affection in his eyes. However, he still pretended to be dissatisfied and hummed twice in a sullen tone, starting to criticize his own daughter: "Aren't you always stuck together with that little brat surnamed Wei, forgetting your old dad and mom? You never even come home every day, today the sun is out from which direction, and you actually ran back home!"

  Lan Zedong thought that Wei Feng, a natural politician with a bright future, was someone he somewhat admired from the bottom of his heart. However, due to his daughter's involvement, Wei Feng, who should have been able to get along with him, became detestable. Especially a year ago, when Lan Zedong found out that Wei Feng had taken advantage of his own daughter, who had been innocent and pure for over a decade, he was furious, wanting to skin, dismember, and devour Wei Feng to vent his anger. If it weren't for He Manli, who had been bought off by Wei Feng's sweet talk, and Lan Feifei, who was determined to marry no one but Wei Feng, blocking him, Lan Zedong, the vice mayor with great power and a clear distinction between public and private matters, almost used his power for personal gain. At least, given Lan Zedong's position and influence, it wouldn't be difficult to make an ordinary section-level cadre like Wei Feng lose his official career or even put him in jail. After all, in this era where economy comes first, not many government officials can keep their hands clean. Wei Feng was no exception!

  Although Lan Ze Dong has reluctantly accepted the identity of Wei Feng's future son-in-law, he did not stop when his superior intentionally promoted Wei Feng because of his relationship. However, every time his daughter mentions Wei Feng and shows a sweet expression, he still can't help but feel a surge of acid in his heart.

  He is obviously eating vinegar with Wei Feng.

  Didn't someone say that 'a daughter is the father's lover from his past life'? Lan Feifei and Lan Zedong must have had a deep relationship in their past lives, far surpassing ordinary lovers. At the very least, she was a formidable third party who posed a great threat to his legitimate wife!

  In front of her parents, Lan Fei Fei was not as obedient as she was when Wei Feng was around. Upon hearing her dad's teasing, this little girl immediately became agitated, pulled on her mom's arm and shook it vigorously, tattling: "Mom, look at my dad! Who talks about their own daughter like that? I'm not that unfilial! Mom, quickly scold him for me. Hurry up!"

  The daughter asked for help, and as a mother, she naturally stood up and said: "That's right, your father is talking nonsense. My daughter is the most considerate one. Come on, dear, let's go help mom cook. We won't bother with him."

  "Hmph!" Lan Feifei made a face at Lan Zedong and said, "I'm not going to bother with you anymore." Then she slipped into the kitchen behind He Manli.

  Because Lan Ze Dong and He Man Li were very busy with work, and Lan Fei Fei had been inseparable from her "Wind Wind" for the past two years, it was rare for them to return home once a week. So, it was a rare occasion for the three of them to gather around the dinner table together. The dishes He Man Li prepared were naturally very sumptuous. After the food was served, the three sat around the dinner table, eating and chatting, filled with joy and warmth.

  Just after eating two mouthfuls, Lan Fei suddenly put down her chopsticks and jumped up: "Oh no, oh no, almost forgot!" She then ran towards the kitchen. A while later, when she came running out again, she was holding in her arms the small black ceramic jar that she had brought back earlier, hugging it like a treasure.

  Daughter's strange behavior made Lan Zetong stunned, and he curiously asked his wife: "Wife, what is Fei Fei doing?"

  He Manli also said with a sullen face: "Who knows, this girl came back holding this black pot like it was a treasure. I asked her what's inside and she wouldn't say. When I wanted to open it and take a look, she didn't let me. It's all so mysterious!"

  Finally, Lan Feifei filled two crystal goblets with the contents of the black ceramic jar and handed one to He Manli's lips, saying in a seductive tone, "Mom, try it, is it good?"

  He Manli carefully measured the color of the wine in the high-footed crystal glass, then hesitantly raised her cup and took a small sip. Suddenly, this woman who had tasted nearly a thousand kinds of fine wines was intoxicated. She could swear that none of the wines she had ever drunk before could compare to the fragrance and smoothness of this one, nor could any wine give this woman, whose palate had already been spoiled, such an experience as if she had instantly fallen into a beautiful dream.

  So this woman in her forties also looked dazed like Wei Feng and Xiao Fei, who had drunk this kind of wine for the first time.

  Seeing his wife, who was notoriously picky, with a look of being in a dreamlike state, closing her eyes and savoring the moment for a long time without speaking, Lan Zedong was shocked and curious, wanting to try another cup of the emerald green **. However, Lan Zedong's action was immediately stopped by Lan Feifei: "I won't let you drink it, who told you to say that I'm not family-oriented!" Lan Feifei had a face full of pouting, obviously still resentful about her father saying she wasn't family-oriented.

  He Manli, who was woken up by her daughter's nagging, hurriedly echoed without even opening her eyes: "Right, don't give it to your dad! This is the daughter showing filial piety to mom, giving it to him would be a waste." She, who had always adhered to the same mind as her husband, resolutely drew a line with the man she had shared a bed with for over twenty years under the temptation of the fine wine.

  Lan Ze Dong was depressed and, with the psychology of "sour grapes" that he couldn't eat, said to his mother and daughter who were already standing on the same front line: "Cut it out, who cares? I, Lao Lan, haven't drunk any good stuff in this life? If I don't drink, then I won't drink!"

  Lan FeiFei looked at her father, who was always high and mighty, with an expression like a child who had been robbed of his lollipop, and 'heh heh' laughed, teasingly saying: "Dad, although this wine can't be given to you to drink, but it can be given to you to smell oh!" As she said that, the mischievous Lan ZeDong snatched the high-heeled cup that had been taken away from him and lightly swung it in front of his nose.

  Suddenly, a sweet and intoxicating aroma wafted past Blue Ze's nostrils, enticing him to take two deep breaths despite his image. This fragrance was simply too alluring, even for Blue Ze, a seasoned member of the 'Alcohol Tolerance' party, who found it hard to resist its temptation.

  At this time, He Manli, who had been lured out by the wine worm, was sipping the beautiful wine in the cup with an intoxicated expression, and spoke in a dreamy tone: "Good Feifei, tell Mom where you got this wine?"

  Lan Fei first retrieved the cup of wine that had been teasing her father, took a light sip from it, and then replied with a smile: "Yesterday, Fengfeng and I went to Zhang Jin's house. This wine was brewed by Zhang Jin himself. How is it? Good, isn't it?"

  He Manli, who was savoring the wine, couldn't bear to put down her cup and slowly sipped it mouthful by mouthful, replying with her mouth full: "Mmm, good wine! Is this Zhang Jin the friend of Wei Feng's? The one you've been raving about in front of me all this time, the 'top chef under heaven'?"

  "Hmm!" Lan Fei savored the lingering aftertaste of the wine in her mouth, nodding heavily, "It's him. He was the leader of Fengfeng Dormitory back in school."

  "Although I haven't had the chance to taste his cooking, I don't know if his craftsmanship is as exaggerated as you said. But this wine is far better than those expensive Bordeaux and Lafite. To be honest, this is absolutely the best fruit wine I've ever had." For a fine wine that excels in color, flavor, and mouthfeel, He Manli was generous with her praise.

  Before swallowing, the beautiful wine that had been flowing on the tip of her tongue and between her teeth, Lan Feifei and You Rongyan praised: "Of course. What Lafite, Latour, Haut-Brion... can't compare to Zhang Jin's wine? According to Zhang Jin, this wine is called 'Soft Jade'. It's made with apples, white pears, lychees, and spring peaches as the main ingredients, and wolfberries, red dates, dried plums, and tangerine peel as auxiliary ingredients. Only when the slight acidity of the apple, the smoothness of the pear, the fragrance of the lychee, and the softness of the peach are perfectly combined can it be called 'Soft Jade'!"

  "Soft jade? Hmm, the name isn't exaggerated, it's a perfect fit!" Blue Ze Dang couldn't help but narrow his eyes and comment as he secretly poured himself a cup while the mother-daughter duo was indulging in the fine wine and food.

  At this time, Lan Fei suddenly became angry and said: "Dad~, you're so naughty, this wine isn't yours. It's for me and mom to drink." Then she was about to go forward and snatch the wine glass from Lan Ze Dong's hand.

  The blue Ze tower that knows the taste of food naturally won't let Blue Feifei get her way, avoiding Blue Feifei's outstretched hand to grab the wine glass, firmly protecting it and deliberately making a face saying: "Feifei, don't be like this. Where is there a daughter who has something good but doesn't share it with dad? All these years, Dad has spoiled you!"

  "Who made you say such things about others before? It's just that I won't give it to you." Lan Feifei pouted, looking adorable.

  "All right, can't Father take back what he said? At least in this matter, the young master with the surname Wei has some advantage!"

  "That won't do!" Lan FeiFei said, pouting, "Big Brother Zhang Jin said that 'Rou Yu' can be used for beauty treatments, so it should be me and mom who drink it. If you want to drink it, wait until tomorrow when I'll go to Feng Feng's place and bring back a jar of 'Wen Xiang' or 'Jia Ren' for you."

  "What's 'Wēn Xiāng'? What's 'Jiā Rén'? What are those?" Blue Ze and his wife asked in unison.

  "'Wēn Xiāng' is Huangjiu, 'Jiā Rén' is rice wine, both are brewed by Zhang Jin himself. He said that 'Wēn Xiāng' can strengthen the muscles and bones, warm the intestines and stomach, and has a fragrant and mellow taste, so it's called 'Wēn Xiāng'. While 'Jiā Rén' is sweet and sticky, just like the beautiful women of Wu and Yue, that's why it's called 'Jiā Rén', also said to be beneficial for the kidneys and spleen." Lan Feifei explained patiently as Zhang Jin had previously explained.

  "He's brewed quite a few kinds of wine? This kid is pretty talented! Not to mention anything else, just with this 'Soft Jade' alone, he'd be set for life." He Manli said with emotion.

  Because compared to the family background, Wei Feng has always been at a disadvantage. Now that she sees her husband finally having an aspect that makes his parents admire him, although it's just Wei Feng's brother and not himself, Lan Feifei still feels a bit proud and says: "I heard Zhang Jing say that there's more to it than that. He also has several types of white wine called 'Famous General', 'Good Minister', 'National Scholar' and 'Assassin' or something. I heard him say that those are the ones men like the most. Unfortunately, they won't be out of the cellar until next year. Otherwise, I could move back tomorrow and let you all try some."

  "This is a rare gem. This wine may not look impressive and doesn't have much of a reputation yet, but considering its quality, it's actually quite valuable. If it were to gain popularity and become a famous brand, even the renowned wines from Chateau Lafite wouldn't be able to surpass its fame. The price would be even more astonishing! Such a great thing, even if that young man Zhang Jing and Xiao Feng were extremely generous, they still wouldn't give it away casually!" As someone who has been in the government for many years, He Manli was very familiar with human relationships and social etiquette.

  "It's not like that! I heard from Zhang Jin, Xiao Fei and Fengfeng that their relationship is even closer than biological brothers. They don't distinguish between you and me when it comes to things they can take out." Lan Feifei argued back in discontent. However, this little girl was simple but not stupid enough to repeat their original words, which were "Except for wives, including the flesh of brothers, take whatever you see without needing to greet me! But beforehand, I declare that the meat on the bones must be shaved clean before bringing trouble to our little brother! In these times, being a husband is not easy!"

  His daughter's words made Lan Zedong and He Manli, two of the most powerful men in the region, look at each other with a glimmer in their eyes.

  So, from the second day on, Lan FeiFei was like an ant moving house, back and forth between Wei Feng's home and her own. The jars were heavy, and she could only bring one jar each time. Despite this, out of the six jars of wine that she had swindled from Lao Da, Wei Feng only got to enjoy one jar. Moreover, this one jar was shared with Lan FeiFei. Apart from the wine, even the few small jars of pickled vegetables that she brought back were mostly taken by Lan FeiFei, the traitor in their own home.

  The most painful thing is that, for the constantly lost 'property', Wei Feng is heartbroken, but still has to reluctantly encourage Lan Feifei to continue doing so. No way, preparing to be someone's son-in-law, when facing Tai Shan Tai Shui, can't help but make a 'huge' sacrifice. If he shows a small-minded attitude at this time, it will ruin his image!

  "When I have time, I'll go to Lao Da's place again and help him reduce his burden. With so much wine, Lao Da definitely can't drink it all, don't let it go to waste!" Wei Feng thought viciously. As for the "layer by layer peeling" kind of work, as a veteran civil servant, Wei Feng still had some experience in this regard.
