PopularNovelChapter 165
Louis had arranged for an Audi sedan, which could only fit five people at most. But with so many of us, it was
clearly insufficient.
Mrs. Brown immediately said, "Here's what we'll do, Louis. You sit in the front with Veronica, and my two cousins
and | will sit in the back. As for the three of you, you can take a separate taxi.
"It's already generous enough to invite you to eat with us, so don't overdo it and take our car as well. A taxi
won't cost that much."
Mrs. Cylon quickly replied, "Oh, okay. We'll go on our own. Don't worry about us." She was clearly intimidated by
Mrs. Brown and waved her hand repeatedly, speaking hesitantly.
| pulled out my phone and booked a taxi, which would take a few minutes to arrive.
Meanwhile, the others happily started getting in the car, chatting and laughing.

Felicia didn't care about such trivial matters. She affectionately linked arms with Mrs. Cylon and kept asking
about the family's cornfield and her grandparents’ health, acting very obedient and filial. This madelike her
even more. After all, nothing was more important than living a solid, stable life.
When the taxi arrived, we got in, and | told the driver, "Just follow the car in front of us. We're going to the same
place."
The driver nodded and stepped on the gas, heading forward.
| couldn't help but ask Mrs. Cylon, "Mrs. Cylon, why do you seem so afraid of Mrs. Brown? Is she really that
scary?"
Mrs. Cylon sighed. "It's not that she's scary. It's just that her family handles many things. If | offend her, it will be
difficult to get by when I return home."
"Now | understand."
It seemed that she wasn't weak. There were just things she couldn't say.
Sometimes, it was worse to offend someone like that and have trouble later on than to endure a bit of discomfort
in the moment. This was also a survival tactic.
At that moment, Mrs. Cylon
suddenly asked Felicia, "Sweetheart, what's the deal with the tens of thousands you mentioned over the phone?
What have you been doing? | cthis tto figure this out. If | find out that you've been doing something
wrong, I'll beat you to death!"
Felicia chuckled. "I knew you would cover because something was up. You're worried I'm up to no good,
right? Don't worry. That money... it's... it's from my boyfriend."
"Your boyfriend? Who is he?"
| couldn't help but laugh. Mrs. Cylon actually believed that Felicia and | were just friends.
We were in college. There was no way a young man and young woman at this stage in their lives could be just
ordinary friends and be at the point of meeting their parents.

Seeing that Felicia was too embarrassed to speak up, | said, "Mrs. Cylon, I'm Felicia's boyfriend."
"You?" Mrs. Cylon widened her eyes at me. She suddenly clapped her hands and laughed.
"How could | be so dumb! I didn't think of that earlier. So you two are dating?"
She lookedover again, then nodded in satisfaction. "You're a good-looking man, and your eyes are clear.
You're a good kid. But why did you give Felicia all that money? Don't tellthat you're thinking of proposing
already. We don't have much in the way of a marriage gift."
"No, Mrs. Cylon. Felicia and I are only in our first year of college. We still have three years to go. How could
The thinking about a proposal?
That money is just pocket money for her."
"Pocket money? That much?"
She was clearly taken aback.
