My College Teacher is My Children's Mom-Chapter 794
After half an hour of eating, Lin Feng went to settle the bill.
"You guys keep eating. I need to go pack my things and catch my flight back."
The person in charge was reluctant to see him go. "Director Lin, stay a little longer! We can go for drinks and karaoke some other time, just the two of us."
Lin Feng declined, "No need, no need. You all go have fun. I’ve already bought my ticket."
The two exchanged contact information, and Lin Feng added, "I’m usually quite busy, so I might not answer the phone right away."
The manager expressed his understanding. After all, he was a tycoon; it was only normal for him to be managing countless affairs every day.
Once Lin Feng left, the atmosphere became even more lively. The advertising world is a small circle, and everyone present knew each other; they were all considered titans of the industry.
"Look at how well he takes care of himself. Who would believe he’s fifty if you told them?"
"I love his watch, but unfortunately, I can’t afford it. Over nine million... He’s incredibly rich."
"I heard he has a son who isn’t married yet. Maybe I should give it a shot?"
The others immediately egged him on, "Don’t forget us when you make it big, bro!"
Since it was a buffet, everyone ate their fill while singing Lin Feng’s praises. For a man like that, who cared if you couldn’t be his daughter-in-law? You could be his girlfriend! All that talk about being fifty was nonsense—age was just a number...
After Lin Feng finished packing, he called the ride-sharing platform. They had already been informed of the situation, so the two had a brief chat before ending the call.
When he reached the airport, it was almost 1:00 a.m.
In the underground parking lot, he saw a few young people taking photos of his car.
He had several cars in the family garage: his own, Zhang Yuxi’s, the eldest son’s, the second son’s... The garage was nearly full. Since his children rarely came home during the year anyway, he might as well drive their cars himself. 𝒇𝓻𝓮𝓮𝙬𝙚𝒃𝒏𝓸𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝓬𝓸𝒎
The eldest son had a low-key, million-dollar car.
The second son favored off-road Jeeps because sitting high and seeing far gave him a feeling of looking down on the world.
The fourth son preferred sports cars. Considering his personality, Lin Feng drove his car the most.
Sorry about that, it makes me feel like a young man again.
The third son liked luxury cars—those with beautiful exteriors and interiors. She really disliked the "frog-head" look.
Because he was in a rush today, Lin Feng made an exception and drove the fourth son’s sports car.
"Excuse me, that’s my car."
The young people, who had been snapping pictures frantically, were taken aback. They hadn’t expected such a wild sports car to be driven by such a handsome, youthful-looking man.
"Um, can I sit inside and take a picture?"
To such a reasonable request, Lin Feng agreed.
The young people were overjoyed. They took turns getting inside for photos and couldn’t stop thanking him afterward.
"Bro, is this your car? How much was it?"
"It’s my son’s car. I don’t know how much it cost. He rarely drives it, so I take it out sometimes."
Hearing this, the young men were on the verge of asking him, Dad, are you by any chance looking to adopt a son? How about us?
Lin Feng drove home to find the house completely empty. He checked his messages and learned that Zhang Yuxi had taken their youngest to stay at a friend’s place for the night. The reason? She wasn’t a great cook, and neither of them felt like ordering takeout, so they had unanimously decided to go find a friend to freeload a meal from.
Lin Feng took a shower, looked at the silent house, and fell straight into bed.
The next day, he didn’t feel like cooking since no one else was home. He just made do with some milk and the bread they kept for the youngest for a quick meal.
While lying on the couch scrolling through his phone, he came across a trending news story. The main subjects of the story, a man and a woman, had a significant connection to him.
Why was the pregnant woman he had given a ride to crying by the roadside that day? It was because while she was out for a walk, she had run into her husband with his mistress. Already anxious from her pregnancy, her emotions had suddenly spiraled out of control.
Her only remaining shred of sanity was the awareness that her stomach hurt and she needed to get to a hospital. But the passing taxis saw her state and refused to stop, afraid of getting caught up in her problems. Aggrieved and heartbroken, she finally used an app to call a ride, the combination of physical pain and emotional anguish causing tears to stream down her face.
The incident would have simply passed, but the woman’s parents insisted on expressing their gratitude to Lin Feng. And since Lin Feng had just become the spokesperson for the platform and was in the middle of a promotional campaign, the whole affair blew up.
Lin Feng scrolled further. The story revealed that the husband was not only cheating on his wife but was also involved in scams and fraud with his mistress. They had been colleagues at their former company and both had their own families. Now, their affair had escalated from a domestic dispute to the point of legal proceedings.
Lin Feng sighed with emotion. He hadn’t expected to do such a good deed so soon after starting in this line of work.
He checked the time—it was just past nine. He decided to get something to eat and then go out to drive. After all, earning some money as a driver was better than mindlessly scrolling on his phone.
Lin Feng logged into the app, and his endorsement photo was displayed prominently. The platform certainly worked fast.
As the spokesperson, Lin Feng decided to switch cars today, choosing to drive the eldest son’s.
First, he had to get the car washed...
The car wash owner, recognizing a regular customer, asked with a smile, "Going out for some fares today, Boss Lin?"
Lin Feng nodded. "Yeah, going to make some extra money."
The owner recognized it as the eldest son’s car. "When is your eldest getting married?"
Lin Feng laughed. "That’s up to the young people, but we’ve already started preparing."
This was the kind of thing Lin Feng didn’t want outsiders to know too much about. It was better to wait until the wedding was officially set.
After washing the car, it was time to hit the road. To avoid unnecessary trouble, Lin Feng decided to put on a bit of a disguise, like a pair of sunglasses.
However, a passenger in the back seat asked with concern, "Driver, can you see the road clearly with those sunglasses on?"
Lin Feng was speechless.
The passenger was an older woman who, ever since Lin Feng had put on the sunglasses, had been nagging him nonstop. She cautioned that driving with those things on was dangerous, that he wouldn’t be able to see the road, and that it would cause an accident. She went on to complain about how drivers were these days before lamenting how crowded the streets were with cars.
"Back in our time, we did everything on foot or by bicycle; we’d stare in amazement at anyone driving a little sedan.
"Now things are better. Almost every family has a car, and the standard of living has improved."
Lin Feng asked, "Auntie, you know how to order a ride with an app? You can use a smartphone?"
"Sure, I can use it," the auntie laughed. "I even watch videos and earn a bit of money on it. But this particular ride wasn’t ordered by me; it was my daughter.
"She told me where to get in, the license plate number, and that I needed to confirm the last few digits of your phone number with you. She’s waiting to pick me up on the other end.
"Oh, dear, I forgot! I was supposed to call and tell her I got in the car so she wouldn’t worry."
The old lady’s phone was practically as loud as a megaphone.
After she hung up, Lin Feng smiled. "Auntie, your daughter is quite dutiful. You’re very blessed."
The auntie beamed. "She really is. So dutiful, not like my son. He’s good-for-nothing and does nothing but make me angry all day."
Once that topic was broached, the auntie launched into a full account of her grievances. Every family has its own set of problems, and Lin Feng listened quietly, offering a few words of consolation at the end.
"Here we are, Auntie."
"Thank you, young man."
"Do you have all your belongings?"
"Yes, I have everything. Oh my! I didn’t get a good look at you before. You’re a very handsome young man! Are you married? How about I introduce you to my daughter?"
"I’m sorry, I’m married, and my children are married as well."
The auntie was dumbfounded.
