After my divorce, I started to have good luck-Chapter 754 - 409: Does it have nothing to do with me, do you believe it? _2

Chen Feng sighed and shook his head, "Actually, there's really no deep-seated hatred between us. I really don't understand why you were so against me back then. I admit I was a bit rude to you at the start, but it shouldn't have offended you to that extent, right?"

Fan Xin gave a rueful smile with a look of regret, "This is all my fault. I used to be pretentious in the entertainment industry because I had my uncle backing me up, and I was quite narrow-minded. I had a natural sense of superiority over you film companies, so when you treated me that way, I felt offended and targeted you a bit.

Besides, it also had to do with Tang Xinyi. Actually, I had my eye on her two years ago and always wanted to include her in my harem, but she wasn't interested in me at all, so I kept thinking of ways to slowly work on her. When I saw you being intimate with her that day, it made me uncomfortable.

Also, I thought you had no background, so I wanted to use the Qingcheng Film and Television City project to scam some money from you."

Fan Xin was surprisingly candid this time, openly revealing his thoughts back then to Chen Feng.

"You're being very honest. But what's the point of telling me these now? We've already reached a point of no return."

Just as Chen Feng finished speaking, Fan Xin suddenly knelt before him with a plop, sincerely saying, "I know I've offended you and caused you some financial losses and emotional distress. Now I'm willing to accept any punishment from you. Additionally, I can compensate you with five million yuan. This is all the cash I can muster now. If you think it's not enough, I can transfer you an apartment in Xiu Zhou, which is worth about five to six million as well."

Wow, this is... really sincere! Chen Feng was somewhat moved by his gesture.

But the issue was, he really hadn't targeted his uncle!

"Fan Xin, how should I explain to make you believe that your uncle's situation has nothing to do with me?"

"Chen Feng, Brother Feng, it's just the two of us here now. And I've already knelt to you twice. Can't you really be lenient with my uncle? He... he's not in good health now, he has a brain tumor, and recently applied for an internal retirement. I'm really worried about his health. If something were to happen... I'd never forgive myself for the rest of my life, sniff sniff..."

At the end, Fan Xin, a grown man, covered his face with both hands and cried bitterly, truly heartbroken.

Chen Feng couldn't help but ask, "Your uncle really has a brain tumor?"

Fan Xin nodded, vigorously wiping the tears from his face while choking out, "Yes, it's quite severe and inoperable, requiring conservative treatment. He needs a calm environment, otherwise it could turn life-threatening at any time."

Chen Feng thought of his own brain tumor. If Fan Xin wasn't lying, then his uncle was technically his 'illness comrade.'

Indeed, though there are many unfair things in the world, illnesses and death have always treated everyone equally.

No one exists who doesn't fall ill or die.

"Alright. I understand your uncle's situation. All I can say is, I'm not very angry anymore, with you or with your uncle."

"You... forgive me?" A look of disbelief was on Fan Xin's face. Chen Feng was really too forgiving.

Chen Feng nodded honestly, "Yes."

Previously, Chen Feng did harbor some resentment towards him and his uncle, but there wasn't a deep-seated grudge. Now, with his uncle under investigation and suffering from a brain tumor, potentially passing at any time, and Fan Xin kowtowing and sincerely apologizing, Chen Feng wasn't a petty person and naturally let go of his grudges. 𝐟𝚛𝕖𝚎𝕨𝗲𝐛𝚗𝐨𝐯𝐞𝕝.𝐜𝗼𝗺

Seeing Chen Feng admit his forgiveness, Fan Xin was initially pleased but soon realized Chen Feng's forgiveness didn't change the fact that his uncle was still detained.

"Brother Feng, since you've forgiven us, could you show mercy and let my uncle go?"

After saying this, Fan Xin bent down again, hitting his head hard against the ground with a dull thud. For the sake of his uncle, he'd given up everything, including his pride.

Seeing this, Chen Feng felt helpless once more. He knew that no matter how he denied it, Fan Xin wouldn't believe him — convinced that he was behind it all.

"Alright, alright. Since you believe it was me, then let's say it was me. I'll let your uncle go, just leave it at that."

Seeing his current sorry state and the honest kowtows given, Chen Feng indeed stopped feeling angry with him but still couldn't muster any goodwill.

Therefore, feeling somewhat impatient, Chen Feng admitted it directly, waved him off, and strode away to where his car was parked.

"Brother Feng, wait a moment." Fan Xin quickly got up from the ground, jogging to catch up with Chen Feng, "I'm about to emigrate soon. I don't have much use for my house in Xiu Zhou, so I'll just give it to you."

Chen Feng ignored him and continued walking.

Unwilling to give up, Fan Xin quickly caught up again, walking alongside Chen Feng with an awkwardly ingratiating expression, saying, "Brother Feng, if you really plan to let my uncle go, please accept my house. If you think it's not enough, I can transfer all the five million cash at hand to you."

Chen Feng didn't accept his compensation, so how could Fan Xin feel at ease?

"I've got two villas in Xiu Zhou that I don't even live in, why would I need your house? Besides, directly transferring money to me would practically be bribery, right? Are you trying to get me in trouble?" Chen Feng glared at him coldly.

"No, no, how would I dare offend you now, boss?" Fan Xin waved his hand hurriedly in denial and then said, "If I were to transfer money to you, it'd still be because I lost a bet and had to pay you. I can write an IOU as proof. Also, the house can be handled that way too. Brother Feng, just help me out. I'm about to emigrate, and that house is useless to me."

Irritated by his persistence, Chen Feng asked, "Where's your house located?"

"Not far from here in East Lake Garden, Block C, 15th floor, it's a duplex. It was newly renovated last year with a large balcony and good lighting. The total area is about 246 square meters."

"Such a good location and big house for just five or six million?" Chen Feng couldn't help but take notice.

East Lake Garden is a high-end residential area near East Lake, and even second-hand houses there usually have a unit price above forty thousand per square meter.

Fan Xin explained, "I kind of hit the jackpot back then. The owner, a film company director, borrowed 5.8 million from me and mortgaged this house. Later he went bankrupt and ran off, and the court allocated this house to me."

Hearing this, Chen Feng immediately sensed some trickery but suddenly took an interest in the house anyway, considering the good location and the fact he hadn't owned a high-rise apartment yet.

"Alright then. Take me to see the house. If I'm satisfied, I'll help you and buy it."

"Okay, okay. I'll take you to see it right away."

Fan Xin immediately, excitedly, led the way.
