However, just as he was about to console Zhou Jiajia, An Qi, Su Qingqing, and Xiaofang also showed signs of tension; so he took the opportunity to reassure everyone at once, "Don't be afraid, my dad and mom are very easy to get along with. They are kind and simple folks who won't deliberately make things difficult for you."
"Exactly! Sisters-in-law, don't worry; I bet my life on it, my parents will definitely be easy to get along with," Xiao Lian also came over to soothe Zhou Jiajia and the others.
"Alright! I believe you," Zhou Jiajia and the others kept taking deep breaths, trying to ease their nervousness.
As the car advanced, more and more villagers were drawn to it.
At this moment, many people came out to see who was driving the luxury car.
Because Lin Yifan had undergone some changes in appearance and clothing, and the car was moving quickly, they weren't sure if the driver was the "Little Fan" who had brought them both laughter and trouble in his childhood; so, they followed curiously, wanting to find out for sure.
The village was only so big, and the main road was coming to an end, so it had to be among those few households.
Lin Yifan's home was located near the center of the village, so as soon as they arrived, it attracted a lot of attention from the villagers.
At this moment, villagers of all ages were watching, eager to see which household the two luxury cars would head to.
The luxury cars turned left and drove into Lin Tianwen's yard.
At this, everyone gasped. Could the person in the luxury car possibly be "Little Fan"?
"My God! Wasn't he just a worker who left recently? How did he turn into a wealthy tycoon?"
"No way! We must be seeing things."
All the villagers were shocked, unable to believe this was reality. Then, they crowded around, wanting to check if the driver was indeed "Little Fan."
The sudden arrival of the luxury car also alerted Lin Yifan's uncle next door.
At this moment, the uncle and his wife peered out the window, curious to see which tycoon had come to speak to their older brother.
On the other hand, after driving the car into his own family's large courtyard, Lin Yifan began unbuckling his seatbelt while saying, "Alright! We're home now, everyone can get out."
However, Zhou Jiajia and the others were tense and showed no intention of moving.
Seeing this, Lin Yifan realized that Zhou Jiajia and the others were getting nervous again; so he reassured them, "Come on, relax a bit, don't be so nervous. My parents aren't monsters; why are you so afraid of them?"
"Easy for you to say, we're their future daughters-in-law, of course, we're worried about many things," Zhou Jiajia and the others rolled their eyes, then took a few deep breaths to adjust their mood before finally unbuckling their seatbelts, ready to get out of the car.
An ugly daughter-in-law has to meet her in-laws sooner or later, their nerves were useless; and now that they had arrived at the doorway, they had to get out of the car, which was the least amount of respect and courtesy to their future in-laws.
"Click!"
The moment the car door opened, all the villagers' eyes were on it, and the first person they saw was a handsome, sunny man dressed in a business suit.
"Who is this?"
"Little Fan, is that you?" the village aunties asked curiously.
The person in front of them looked utterly unfamiliar; they had no idea who it was.
Hearing the village aunties asking, Lin Yifan turned around with a bright smile and greeted, "Hey! Fellow villagers, long time no see."
"Is it really you, Little Fan?" At this, an auntie quickly stepped forward, staring closely and curiously asking.
"What's wrong? I just went out for a walk, and Aunt Cui Fang doesn't recognize me anymore?" Lin Yifan countered.
Aunt Cui Fang used to take good care of him when he was a child, always inviting him over to eat whenever there was food; he also grew up very close to Aunt Cui Fang's son.
"Oh! Little Yifan, is it really you? I haven't seen you for over a year, and now you've become a big boss. Indeed, it's true what they say—'a person can change dramatically in just three days'!" Aunt Cui Fang grabbed Lin Yifan's hands with a look of amazement.
Upon learning the true identity of the driver, the other villagers were completely shocked; they hadn't expected it to really be Lin Tianwen's eldest son, Lin Yifan.
This child, who came from a poor family and had always led a miserable life, had suddenly transformed into a successful, rich, and handsome man, completely overturning their perceptions.
Those who had once ridiculed him and his family dared not laugh anymore.
"Aunt Cui Fang! And me too!"
Then, Xiaolian got out of the car and was now waving at Aunt Cui Fang.
Aunt Cui Fang was truly kind to their family, second only to their eldest uncle and third uncle's families.
"You are..." Staring at the young and beautiful woman behind him, Aunt Cui Fang failed to recognize her for a moment.
"I am Xiaolian, Yifan's sister, the mischievous kid who used to call you Grandmother Cui Fang." Xiaolian replied.
"So it's you, my little girl. I can't believe it's been a few years and you've become such a beautiful woman. They say 'a girl turns into a woman at eighteen'—it's really true!" Aunt Cui Fang exclaimed.
"Hehe! You flatter me, Aunt Cui Fang; in my heart, you're also a great beauty," Xiaolian praised.
"In your heart, wasn't I always a stern old grandma?" Aunt Cui Fang joked.
"Hehe, it seems Aunt Cui Fang still holds grudges just like always!" Xiaolian said somewhat awkwardly, at a loss for words.
As a child, she indeed used to call her that, but only because Aunt Cui Fang took care of her just like her own grandmother, which is why she called her Grandmother Cui Fang.
However, Aunt Cui Fang didn't really mind; she only verbally reprimanded her a couple of times.
Upon learning of Lin Yifan's current status, the villagers also came over to chat and laugh, offering flattery and trying to establish connections.
Many villagers had helped his family in the past, so Lin Yifan still had a good opinion of them and thus started chatting with them.
In the car, seeing Lin Yifan and Xiaolian being swallowed up by the crowd, Zhou Jiajia and the others suddenly dared not go out, afraid of being pulled around and gossiped about.
On the other side, upon learning of Lin Yifan's return, the neighbors, Third Uncle and Third Aunt, immediately walked out of their house and came over.
They hadn't seen Lin Yifan for a long time, so they wanted to get a good look at him.
"Yifan! You're back?" Third Uncle and Third Aunt approached with smiling faces, asking.
"Third Uncle and Third Aunt, it's been a long time. How have you been recently?" Lin Yifan also approached, taking the hands of the elders and exchanging pleasantries.
As neighbors and relatives, Third Uncle and Third Aunt had been incredibly supportive and caring towards his family, so he held a very favorable impression of these two relatives.
"Just the usual, not too bad nor too good, but certainly not to the point of dying," Third Uncle and Third Aunt joked.
"Third Uncle and Third Aunt, may you live a long and healthy life. You're not going to die that soon," Lin Yifan responded.
