Tomb Raider: I Am Hu Bayi's Cousin

Chapter 269

"Hey, Uncle Ming, I didn't expect to run into you in a small alley in Beijing! When did you come back to China?"

"By the way, thanks to you so much for what happened last time, otherwise I really wouldn't have made it back!"

Just as Hu Ming and Yin Nanfeng were chatting and laughing, a familiar, rough voice suddenly rang out.

Immediately afterwards, a nimble fat man sat down next to Hu Ming, looking at him with a big smile.

The person who arrived was Fatty, the chubby little guy who had temporarily joined the food service in the Lu King's Palace.

However, I didn't see him when I had dinner with Hu Bayi and the others last time. I even asked Wang Kaixuan about it. Later, I heard Wang Kaixuan and Hu Bayi say that this guy is very successful. You only see him during the Chinese New Year. Otherwise, you can't even see him.

"Um...hey, I didn't expect this, Uncle Ming, you're so lucky with your wife, she's so beautiful!"

"Hello, Auntie, nice to meet you. My surname is Wang, my given name is Yueban, and my friends call me Fatty!"

Upon seeing Yin Nanfeng, the fat man couldn't help but pat Hu Ming on the shoulder and tease him.

"Hmph, you disrespectful brat, don't talk nonsense. What girlfriend? Didn't I tell you, your Uncle Ming doesn't want to be bossed around like your dad and Uncle Ming every day! I won't give up a whole forest for a single tree!"

"Let me introduce you. This is Yin Nanfeng, the owner of the New Moon Hotel. Nanfeng, this is my nephew, Wang Xiaopangzi. His father is my good brother who grew up with me in the military region!"

Hu Ming sighed helplessly.

"Hello," Yin Nanfeng said with a polite smile.

To outsiders, Yin Nanfeng is a genuine, noble, and aloof young lady.

"Tsk tsk... Uncle Ming, you're really something! An old cow eating young grass! Hello, my name is Wang Banyue!" The fat man first gave Hu Ming a thumbs up, and then greeted Yin Xinyue.

The fat man didn't believe that this beautiful woman had nothing to do with Hu Ming!

"Brother Hu Ming, is it really you? No way, I'm not seeing things, am I?"

Just then, a middle-aged woman's voice rang out behind Hu Ming.

His voice was filled with hesitation and disbelief.

Hu Ming paused in his act of holding the wine cup, turned around, and saw that his face had turned completely black.

Just how small is this Beijing city?
Did Hu Ming not check the almanac before going out tonight? Is today actually not auspicious for going out?
First, I was laughed at by a junior, and now I've run into someone from before!
"Nanfeng, I'm starting to regret bringing you out for a late-night snack. This Beijing city is just too small!"

Hu Ming's face was dark, and his tone was low and somber.

To this, Yin Nanfeng simply gave Hu Ming a gloating smile.

This woman looked to be in her forties, and judging from her tone, it wasn't hard to guess that she was an old acquaintance of Hu Ming.

"No way, it's been more than twenty years, Brother Hu Ming. We haven't seen each other for more than twenty years since we parted ways after returning from the Jingjue Ancient City."

"But how come you haven't changed at all? In fact, you look even younger?"

The newcomer was none other than Ye Yixin. Of the members of the archaeological team who had been to the ancient city of Jingjue years ago, besides Hu Ming and his group, and Professor Chen, Ye Yixin was the only surviving member.
"No, you've mistaken me for someone else, ma'am. Perhaps I just look a lot like your friend; it's just a coincidence."

"I'm only eighteen years old this year. I wasn't even born twenty-three years ago. And my surname isn't Jiang; it's Yin. My name is Yin Dongfeng!"

Hu Ming covered the chubby boy's mouth tightly, afraid that he would say something wrong.

He didn't want to have any further contact with Ye Yixin.

These researchers are all single-minded and meticulous, which is too troublesome.

Just like that old professor from the archaeological team back then!
"Yin Dongfeng?"

Yin Nanfeng was taken aback. This name... is quite interesting. His bright eyes darted around mischievously, and a wicked sense of amusement welled up in his mind.

"That's right, big sister, this is my younger brother. He's just eighteen years old. What do you mean, more than twenty years ago? You must have mistaken him for someone else."

Yin Nanfeng affectionately put her arm around Hu Ming's arm, then looked at Ye Yixin with a serious and wary expression.

She was just like a good older sister who was worried that her younger brother would be deceived by someone of unknown origin.

Hu Ming's face darkened even more.

Although they hadn't known each other for long, he knew Yin Nanfeng all too well. This girl wasn't being kind; she just wanted to take advantage of him!
"Alright, alright, sister, this woman's background is unknown, and we don't know what she's up to."

"We've finished eating anyway, let's go."

Hu Ming gave the fat man a warning look, then grabbed Yin Nanfeng and ran.

Ye Yixin, filled with confusion, and the fat man, looking completely dumbfounded, were left behind.

"Perhaps it really is a case of mistaken identity, just someone who looks alike... Sir, oh? Is that you? Banyue! By the way, are they really siblings?"

After a long while, Ye Yixin finally reacted and recognized Wang Banyue. After all, she had gone to see Wang Banyue when she was just born!

So, after regaining her senses, she asked the fat man, still somewhat unwilling to give up.

Hu Ming's face left a deep impression on her.

More than 20 years have passed, but Ye Yixin still finds it hard to forget.

"Siblings? Oh yes, I know them."

"The younger brother is Yin Dongfeng, and the older sister is Yin Nanfeng. Aren't their parents' names for their children interesting?"

The fat man nodded subconsciously in reply.

However, he felt somewhat helpless, because he knew that his Aunt Ye was still unmarried!
