After my divorce, I started to have good luck-Chapter 715 - 388: Who Loses and Who Gains

The three elders, it was basically Liu Ying’s aunt, Jiang Duangxiang, who was talking to Chen Feng.

It’s apparent that Mr. and Mrs. Liu seemed somewhat weaker compared to Jiang Duangxiang.

This is understandable, after all, she has money. Also, Jiang Duangxiang appears to have a strong personality. Moreover, there are some things Mr. and Mrs. Liu find awkward to say or ask, but Jiang Duangxiang has no problems with it.

"Little Chen, what kind of business do you think is more reliable to do now?"

After chatting about her family business for a while, Jiang Duangxiang asked Chen Feng for his advice.

Chen Feng shook his head, "I can’t say for sure. The same business will be perceived and done differently by every person. It varies from individual to individual."

"You’re right. Doing business indeed varies from person to person. However, aren’t you good at business yourself? You founded a film company and within months have made so much money, I trust your perspective. Tell me, in your opinion, what kind of business do you think my family should transition into now?"

"I honestly can’t give any concrete suggestions." Chen Feng shook his head again, "After all, I don’t know you and your husband very well."

"That’s true." Jiang Duangxiang nodded with a smile and said, "Then why don’t I arrange for my husband to meet you another day, so you both can get to know each other better?"

Of course, Chen Feng had no interest in meeting or getting to know her husband; he just smiled and didn’t respond.

Liu Ying naturally understood Chen Feng’s thoughts and immediately changed the subject by asking about her cousins.

Jiang Duangxiang has both a son and a daughter. Her daughter is older and currently helps her father in the family business and already has a boyfriend, preparing for marriage talks. Her son is studying at a prestigious university in Beijing and is quite promising too.

As soon as her children were mentioned, Jiang Duangxiang indeed got distracted and started talking with pride, first about how hardworking and excellent her son is in his studies, winning scholarships every year, then about her daughter’s boyfriend, who is practically a future son-in-law, coming from a well-off family, having studied abroad in the Beautiful Country, and just returned last year to start a business, partnering in establishing a high-tech company which has attracted several venture capital investments, potentially listing on the Nasdaq in the future.

Chen Feng could only smile at her slightly boastful talk.

Chen Feng endured patiently, chatting intermittently with the three elders for over an hour.

Lastly, when they were about to leave, Jiang Duangxiang finally spoke of the main purpose of their visit this time.

"Little Chen, you and our Little Ying were university classmates for four years, you must know each other pretty well. Now you’ve been together for so long, and to be honest, you’re not young anymore, and both of you have been divorced. As elders, we hope you can settle this relationship sooner, what do you think?"

Chen Feng had already expected this and responded with a smile, "Although Little Ying and I were classmates for four years in college, we don’t really know each other well because we had a misunderstanding in the first year, and afterwards, we basically didn’t communicate anymore.

Also, precisely because we’ve both been divorced, we are very cautious and careful with this second relationship. Before confirming that we’re truly suitable for each other, we don’t want to rush into marriage."

Upon hearing this, all three elders frowned.

Jiang Duangxiang said, "How much more time do you need to get to know each other? It can’t be another year or two, right? It might not matter much for a man, but our Little Ying is already thirty, she’ll be thirty-one next year, she can’t wait too long."

Chen Feng thought for a while and said, "Within this year. I’ll give you an answer within this year. Regardless of whether we can be together in the end, I won’t mistreat her."

At this time, Liu’s father, who hadn’t spoken much, suddenly said, "Little Chen, I hope that by National Day this year, you can give us a clear answer. By then, you should be able to determine if my daughter is suitable for you. I don’t have any other requests, I just hope you won’t hurt my daughter. Can you promise that?"

Seeing him speaking this way, Chen Feng replied solemnly, "From the beginning, I never intended to hurt Little Ying. I have been very honest with her while being together, and I’ve never deceived her."

"That’s good then." Liu’s father nodded and said, "As long as you treat each other sincerely, I believe you can maintain your relationship. I’m hoping you can give me good news by then."

This time, Chen Feng didn’t respond, only smiling. Beside him, Liu Ying looked worried; Chen Feng had told her before that if her family pushes for marriage, they’d have to ’break up’.

Finally, the three elders said their goodbyes and left. Chen Feng and Liu Ying saw them off to the main gate and watched them enter Jiang Duangxiang’s house across the street before they went back to No. 8 Villa.

After the large iron gate closed, Chen Feng walked into the hall by himself, while Liu Ying followed closely with a worried look on her face.

"You see, now your family is pushing for marriage, it seems we can’t avoid breaking up."

Sitting down on the living room sofa, Chen Feng looked at Liu Ying and said it directly without much reservation.

Liu Ying hurriedly said, "Didn’t my dad give us a few months? Until October, it’s only June now, there are still more than three months left."

Chen Feng nodded, "Alright then. In September, you can find an opportunity to tell your family that we’ve broken up."

Liu Ying kept silent with a bitter face. Of course, she was a thousand times unwilling to ’break up’ with Chen Feng, even if the breakup was fake.

But she also knew that without doing this, her family wouldn’t accept it.

Most importantly, she currently had neither the right nor the courage to ask Chen Feng to turn a fake act into reality. Otherwise, the fake breakup might turn real.

Returning to Jiang Duangxiang’s house, once seated, Liu’s mother couldn’t wait to ask her sister for her opinion.

"Little sister, what do you think of Chen Feng? And why do you think he doesn’t want to get engaged to Little Ying? Is it really like he said, wanting to be cautious?"

Jiang Duangxiang shook her head directly and said, "Chen Feng is indeed outstanding among his peers in terms of height, education, and appearance. If he truly became your son-in-law, it would be a great match for your family. However, I can see that he’s not very attentive to Little Ying, and what he said earlier is just an excuse. It seems he doesn’t want to marry Little Ying."

"How... how could that be?" Liu’s mother didn’t believe it, "I see he’s quite good to Little Ying, letting her directly become the financial manager of the company, in charge of the financial authority. And he also gave her that villa to live in."

Liu’s father didn’t agree but frowned without saying anything.

Jiang Duangxiang sneered twice and said, "My dear sister, you’re too caught up to see the truth. Didn’t Little Ying mention? Though she’s the financial manager, there’s still a financial director above her, who is supposedly Chen Feng’s sworn sister, and also lives in No. 8 Villa, practically cohabiting with Chen Feng. Do you think this sworn brother-sister relationship is genuine? At the very least, Chen Feng trusts that sworn sister more, putting Little Ying in a secondary position. I believe the company’s financial power is in his sworn sister’s hands."
