Chapter 246 Take the initiative
Ma Caifeng saw how angry her mother was and wanted to lose her temper, but she couldn't do it because so many people were present.
She thought bitterly: Was I here to eat tofu pudding? I came here to cultivate my relationship with Yang Qingfeng and let everyone know that I would soon become the daughter-in-law of the Yang family! How could I sit at this servant's table? What the hell!
She bit her lips tightly, her face turning pale and blue, and she held the chopsticks in her hand but didn't move for a long time. From time to time, her eyes glanced at Yang Qingfeng's table, her heart full of grievance and unwillingness.
Ma Caifeng sat at the servants' table, her mind in deep turmoil. Her brows were furrowed tightly, and her eyes kept moving back and forth between the main table where Yang Qingfeng was sitting and the tofu rice in front of her.
On the one hand, she felt it was really cramped to sit at the servants' table, which was far from the glorious scene she had imagined; on the other hand, she was worried that any rash action would cause dislike and damage her image in the Yang family.
After a fierce ideological struggle, Ma Caifeng finally decided to take the initiative.
She took a deep breath and encouraged herself in her heart: What's there to be afraid of! Yang Qingfeng likes me, and I am destined to be the daughter-in-law of the Yang family. This is a foregone conclusion. What is there to worry about?
Thinking of this, a confident smile reappeared on Ma Caifeng's face. She stood up, straightened her clothes and hair, and walked towards Yang Qingfeng's table with her head held high.
Her steps were firm, and her eyes were filled with determination, as if no one in the entire yard existed, except her and Yang Qingfeng.
Ma Caifeng walked up to Yang Qingfeng's table with a proud and confident look on her face, a smile that she thought was charming, and said in a coquettish voice, "Brother Qingfeng, I came here specially to have dinner with you."
Yang Qingfeng was chatting and laughing with his family when he was startled by the sudden sound and almost spit out the tofu pudding in his mouth. He looked at Ma Caifeng with a blank face, wondering what she was up to.
Seeing that Yang Qingfeng didn't respond, Ma Caifeng simply pulled a chair over and sat down next to Yang Qingfeng. She kept leaning towards Yang Qingfeng and said coquettishly, "Brother Qingfeng, why are you ignoring me? I miss you so much."
At this time, everyone else at the table put down their chopsticks and looked at Ma Caifeng in amazement. The atmosphere became very awkward.
Yang Qingfeng moved aside awkwardly and stammered, "Miss Ma, what are you doing?"
Ma Caifeng blinked her eyes, pretending to be shy, and said, "Brother Qingfeng, what do you think? Don't you understand what I'm thinking?" As she spoke, she reached out to pull the corner of Yang Qingfeng's clothes.
Yang Qingfeng quickly dodged and accidentally knocked over the bowl of tofu pudding in front of him, spilling it all over him. He stood up in a panic, wiping it while saying, "Miss Ma, please don't do this. I... I can't stand it."
The people around couldn't help but burst into laughter when they saw this scene. However, Ma Caifeng hadn't reacted yet and was still immersed in her performance, still flirting with her, making everyone laugh until tears came out.
When Tian Fuping saw Ma Caifeng making a fool of herself, he suddenly became so embarrassed that his face turned red and he wished he could find a hole to crawl into.
She quickly stood up and took two steps at a time awkwardly, pulling Ma Caifeng's arm with a smile on her face.
The smile on Tian Fuping's face was uglier than crying, and he stammered, "Sister Xiuying, Qingfeng, this child is ignorant and acts recklessly when his mind is hot. Don't take it to heart, don't take it to heart."
As she spoke, she kept apologizing to Xiuying and Yang Qingfeng, with beads of sweat on her forehead. She didn't know what was wrong with this girl. Where could she put her old face?
After saying that, without waiting for Xiuying and Yang Qingfeng to respond, he forcefully pulled Ma Caifeng, who was still in a daze, away.
Before Ma Caifeng could react, Tian Fuping dragged her so hard that she stumbled, yelling, "Mom, what are you doing? I haven't even had a chance to talk to Brother Qingfeng!"
Tian Fuping ignored her completely and just focused on pulling her away quickly. He only wanted to take this embarrassing girl away as soon as possible to prevent her from making a fool of herself.
Ma Caifeng was being pulled by Tian Fuping, but she showed no sign of stopping. Instead, she struggled and shouted even louder, "Brother Qingfeng, I already know how you feel about me! I've already taken the initiative, so what? How could you do this to me?"
Her voice was sharp and piercing, and her shouts echoed throughout the yard. Her face was full of anger and aggrieved expression, and her facial features were distorted.
Tian Fuping was furious and anxious, her face flushed crimson, and the veins on her forehead bulged. Seeing that she couldn't pull Ma Caifeng away, she gritted her teeth, exerted her strength, and actually lifted Ma Caifeng onto her shoulders.
Tian Fuping panted heavily, muttering, "My dear aunt, please stop making trouble!"
Ma Caifeng was startled by this sudden action and screamed, "Mom, what are you doing! Put me down!" Her hands and feet were waving in the air, but Tian Fuping ignored her.
"Oh, mother, put me down!" Ma Caifeng shouted in shame and anger, "She is a lady, and will be a mistress in the future. How can she be carried away by someone?"
Ma Caifeng's voice was tearful, and the makeup on her face was a mess because of struggling and shouting.
"My little ancestor, stop yelling. Look at yourself now, you still look like a lady!" Tian Fuping said breathlessly, her forehead covered with sweat, and Ma Caifeng on her shoulder kept twisting, making her almost unable to bear it.
Ma Caifeng continued to cry: "No, no! This is too embarrassing. How can I face people in the future!" Her hands kept beating Tian Fuping's back and her feet were kicking in the air.
However, Tian Fuping ignored her crying and just kept rushing forward, wanting to get away from this embarrassing place as soon as possible.
Tian Fuping stumbled and stumbled as he carried Ma Caifeng. Everyone around him was stunned, some couldn't help but laugh, while others shook their heads and sighed. Tian Fuping didn't care about the others' gazes, only wanting to quickly take this ignorant girl away and save her from further embarrassment.
Yang Qingfeng slowly stood up amid the noise, looking a little unnatural. While no one was paying attention, he secretly glanced in the direction where Sun Huahua was sitting.
There was a hint of imperceptible concern and hesitation in his eyes, and he quickly looked away.
Then, he hurried towards the room, ready to change his clothes, wanting to escape from the embarrassing and chaotic scene.
Huahua sat at the table, fiddling with chopsticks unconsciously in her hand, her eyes staring straight in the direction where Ma Caifeng left, feeling empty inside.
