Chapter 168: Petite and Pretty

Her uncle, Fang Ruiming, wore glasses and looked gentle and refined. Just from his appearance, he still had the charm of a middle-aged man.

After his aunt, Chen Xiaoxia, called to urge him, he came home in more than ten minutes.

He was a man who was relatively devoted to his family and also somewhat afraid of his wife. But he was also a very arrogant person in his bones. He looked down on his brother-in-law, Chen Dayong, and was also indifferent to his brother-in-law’s whole family.

It was only because his wife might be particularly fond of her little nephew, Chen Feng, that he would nod and greet him slightly. At dinner, he would occasionally say a few words to him, and that was it.

However, at dinner today, his attitude had obviously changed. He took the initiative to speak to Chen Feng.

“Ah Feng, after you got divorced, your aunt was very concerned about your marriage. For this, she even put down her face and asked someone to find you a girl with good conditions in all aspects. I’ll take you to see her tonight. Your aunt told you, right?”

Chen Feng nodded, “She did.”

“Then you should have a good look at this girl. If you get along well, you can stay here for a while and take the opportunity to cultivate your feelings with her.”

This was the first time in so many years that Fang Ruiming had asked a guest to stay.

However, everyone knew that the reason he did so was because of the girl who was going on a blind date with Chen Feng.

That girl’s family background was very good. If she really got together with Chen Feng, then Chen Feng’s status would of course be different. At least in Fang Ruiming’s eyes.

Chen Feng didn’t know whether he should tell him the truth. He looked at his aunt and saw her shake her head slightly, and he immediately understood.

The aunt and nephew still had this little bit of tacit understanding. Chen Feng could also understand that if he told his uncle the truth, he and his aunt would definitely be blamed by him.

Anyway, this was a formality that had to be gone through. It wasn’t that he wasn’t going on a blind date.

So, there was no need to be too clear with him.

So, Chen Feng just nodded vaguely and muddled through the matter.

Seeing Chen Feng like this, Fang Ruiming thought he had agreed and was very confident in this blind date.

In fact, he was also very confident in his nephew, Chen Feng. After all, Chen Feng was about 1.8 meters tall, and his appearance and temperament were first-class. In addition, he had a bachelor’s degree from a famous university, which was also a big plus.

Don’t think that there are many undergraduates now. This is only in those big cities. If they are scattered all over the country, in a third- or fourth-tier city like Tianzhou, there are really not many undergraduates from 211 and 985 universities.

Because the other party wanted to adopt a child to inherit the family business, the husband their daughter found must have good genes, a high IQ, and be handsome.

As for Chen Feng being a little fat and five or six years older than the girl, it was really nothing compared to Chen Feng’s other advantages.

Based on these conditions and the attitude of the woman’s side that he had learned, the chances of Chen Feng’s success in this blind date were still very high.

Of course, Fang Ruiming also became concerned about this matter and Chen Feng, and helped to provide his own opinions.

“According to the information I’ve gathered, this girl likes literature and loves to read novels. You can talk to her about this.”

Chen Feng could only continue to nod.

Chen Xiaoxia interrupted, “Alright. Ah Feng is so outstanding. There’s no reason for the other party not to like him. I’m just afraid that Ah Feng won’t like the other party.”

Fang Ruiming quickly said, “I’ve also met this girl a few times. She’s very beautiful and has a good temper. She doesn’t have the spoiled temper of those rich girls. She’s really very good. What’s more, her family is very rich, and she’s the only daughter. It would be a pity if you missed her.”

Chen Xiaoxia gave him a heads-up, “If Ah Feng really doesn’t like her, there’s no need to force it. Ah Feng is so outstanding. There are plenty of girls who like him.”

Hearing this, Fang Ruiming couldn’t help but secretly pout.

To be honest, Chen Feng was handsome and had a high education, but it was all for nothing without money. Otherwise, how could he have gotten divorced?

Of course, Fang Ruiming could only think this in his heart and couldn’t say it out loud. The tigress at home doted on her nephew very much.

After lunch, Fang Ruiming went out again.

In the living room, his grandmother, aunt, mother, and sister-in-law, four women, were chatting about family matters. His father would occasionally say a few words. His older brother, Chen Rui, was talking to his cousin. It was nothing more than asking about his school life and whether he had a girlfriend.

But Chen Rui hadn’t even been to high school, so he and his cousin, Fang Zechao, couldn’t talk about anything.

As for his cousin, Fang Min, she went upstairs after eating.

Chen Feng replied to a few women’s messages on WeChat, then joined his older brother and cousin’s topic. Since his cousin liked games, Chen Feng of course talked to him about games.

He had also been addicted to games for nearly two years during his university years. He had played some of the more classic game series on the market. He had a common topic with his cousin. As soon as they started talking, his cousin, who was not very talkative, got along very well with Chen Feng.

Fang Zechao was a sophomore this year. He had been addicted to games since the second half of his freshman year. Although he had played occasionally before, he was not very addicted. But now he was obviously a teenager addicted to the internet. He was very knowledgeable when talking about games, but he was completely confused when talking about his professional courses.

There was nothing to be done about this. It was due to the environment. Although he was studying at a university in a big city like Shenshi, it was not a 211 or 985 university. It was just a college that had been independent for a few years, barely a third-tier university.

The learning atmosphere in their school was not strong. The students generally muddled through their days. Their major was environmental engineering, which was basically useless after graduation except for taking the civil service exam. Of course, with his learning ability, it was almost impossible to take the civil service exam.

Fortunately, his family was not short of money. He didn’t need to find a job to make money after graduation. At most, he would just mess around outside for two or three years, then come back to inherit the family business, or even come back to his father’s company to help.

Therefore, not to mention that Fang Zechao himself did not study hard and had already started to fail courses, even his family did not take his academic performance seriously.

The children of rich families were so willful. This university diploma, especially this third-tier one, was not very important to them.

After chatting with his cousin for a while, at his suggestion, the two of them played games together on the TV.

Unconsciously, it was evening.

After a simple meal, Chen Feng was taken by his aunt to a blind date.

The location of the blind date was chosen at the other party’s home. This situation undoubtedly meant that the other party was also quite optimistic about him, which made Chen Feng feel a little worried.

His luck was now bursting. Both his financial luck and his love luck were ridiculously good. It would be normal if this rich and beautiful girl liked him.

Besides, his own conditions were indeed not bad.

The other party’s home was not far from his aunt’s home. It was only a ten-minute drive. It was a relatively new high-end villa area.

Not to mention that it was surrounded by a river on all four sides, it was also surrounded by a high iron fence on the river bank. The entrance and exit of the community was a cross-river bridge. The gate was installed at the entrance of the bridge, making it look like a city gate, tall and imposing. The security measures were quite strict. There were four security guards on duty, two on each side. Surveillance cameras were densely distributed.

Needless to say, those who could live in this kind of high-end community were all rich and powerful local figures.

When they came over, his aunt had already contacted the other party in advance. The other party had also specially sent the family’s nanny to wait for them.

This time, they didn’t have to register. They just passed through the facial recognition device at the door for photos and identification. Relatively speaking, this method was much more advanced than paper registration.

Following the guidance, the car stopped in front of a villa with a courtyard and a wall.

There was an iron fence around the community, and the villas inside also had walls. They were all single-family houses with front and back yards, and the yard looked very large from the outside.

Sure enough, villas were also divided into grades. This kind of villa belonged to the relatively high-end.
After getting out of the car, the two of them were led by the nanny into the other party’s home.

After entering the courtyard, they saw a well-dressed and bejeweled noblewoman on the steps.

“Ah Xia, you’re finally here. Come in quickly.”

As this woman greeted Chen Xiaoxia, she kept looking at Chen Feng.

She saw that Chen Feng was about 1.8 meters tall, well-dressed, and had a calm demeanor. He exuded a mature and restrained and steady temperament, which made the woman who had seen a lot of the world quite satisfied. She couldn’t help but nod secretly, and the smile on her face became a little wider.

“Where’s your daughter? Is she at home?”

As Chen Xiaoxia spoke, she led Chen Feng up the steps.

“Yes, she’s already in the living room. Come in quickly.”

The noblewoman smiled and waved to the two of them.

“Hello, auntie,” Chen Feng said with a smile when he got closer.

“Good, good, good,” the noblewoman’s smile was even more brilliant. She called the two of them into the living room.

This living room was much larger than his aunt’s house, looking to be nearly 200 square meters. For an ordinary family, such a large living room was a bit ridiculous.

Needless to say, the style of the decoration and furnishings around it exuded a full sense of wealth.

There was a long row of leather sofas against the wall on the right side of the living room entrance. At this time, a fashionable and beautiful woman in her mid-twenties was sitting on the sofa. She had short hair and light makeup, looking sassy and neat, completely different from what Chen Feng had imagined.

At this time, as Chen Feng was looking at her, she was also looking at Chen Feng. Her eyes showed no shyness or retreat. How should I put it, this kind of look was obviously scrutinizing, and even a little bit domineering.

How could she be a petite and pretty girl? Chen Feng was full of questions in his heart.

“This… why did Xiaodan change her hairstyle?”

Chen Xiaoxia also looked at the noblewoman with a full face of questions.

“Auntie, I just changed my hairstyle yesterday. How is it? Is it okay?”

The girl stood up from the sofa generously and said to Chen Xiaoxia with a smile.

The corner of Chen Xiaoxia’s mouth twitched slightly. She thought to herself, “You had long hair, which looked more gentle. Now you look like a boy. What’s that?”
“It’s okay,” Chen Xiaoxia could only comment like this.

“Auntie, and this big brother Chen, please sit down.”

The girl generously called the aunt and nephew to sit down. The nanny who had led the way before wisely brought tea and placed it on the coffee table in front of them.

“My name is Hong Xiaodan. I’m currently working in fashion design. What about you?”

Hong Xiaodan was very direct and had a strong personality. Chen Feng could see this.

Chen Feng was not very interested in women with this kind of strong personality. What’s more, he was not short of women now, and he didn’t want to go on a blind date. It was just because of his aunt’s face that he had to go through the motions. He still had to do his best to play his part.

“My name is Chen Feng, the ‘feng’ in ‘fengli’. I’m currently a professional stock trader.”

“Professional stock trader?” Hong Xiaodan frowned. “So you don’t have a formal job now?”

Hearing her direct words, Chen Feng couldn’t help but feel a little pained. She was really not subtle at all.

Hearing her words, Chen Xiaoxia also frowned.

The noblewoman, Hong’s mother, on the side quickly tried to smooth things over, “This professional stock trading is also a job. As long as you can make money, it’s fine.”

Hong Xiaodan followed her mother’s words and asked, “Then how much money have you made from stock trading now?”

Chen Feng replied casually, “Not much, about the same as an ordinary office worker.”

Hong Xiaodan pouted slightly and said, “The salary of an ordinary office worker is generally relatively stable. Can your stock trading be stable?”

Damn it! Even if Chen Feng had a good mentality and was magnanimous, he was still a little angry after being told these few words.

Chen Feng couldn’t help but complain in his heart. Sure enough, blind dates were really not very reliable, even if it was introduced by his own aunt.

How could a girl like Hong Xiaodan be described as a petite and pretty girl?

Chen Xiaoxia also couldn’t listen anymore. She said with some displeasure, “Ah Feng is quite good at stock trading. He made hundreds of thousands in a few months last year. He bought two cars worth more than 200,000 yuan, one for himself and one for his brother. In addition, their two brothers also opened a car beauty shop, and the business is very good. They have already made two or three hundred thousand in three or four months of opening.”

Chen Xiaoxia obviously knew this from Chen Feng’s mother. Chen Feng was a little speechless when he heard this.

His own mother sometimes liked to brag. However, this also reasonably explained his matter of winning the lottery.

Hearing his aunt’s words, Hong Xiaodan looked at Chen Feng with some surprise, then nodded slightly and said, “If what Aunt Chen said is true, then you are relatively outstanding among your peers. But since you are so outstanding, why did you get divorced in the first place?”

These words hit his soft spot. It was simply impossible to talk.

Chen Xiaoxia frowned again and explained to Chen Feng, “It was that woman who didn’t cherish it. Ah Feng used to work in a company. He had some setbacks at work, and that woman started to dislike him and pick on him. My nephew has backbone. Later, he couldn’t stand her anymore and took the initiative to file for divorce.”

Hong Xiaodan nodded again, then suddenly asked Chen Feng in English, “How is your English?”

“It’s okay,” Chen Feng subconsciously replied in English.

After all, he had graduated from a 985 university. He had passed CET-6 during his university years. He also often practiced his spoken English in the English corner. Daily conversation was not a problem.

Hong Xiaodan asked again in English, “What kind of work did you do in Xiuzhou before? What was the highest position you held?”

Chen Feng originally wanted to pretend he didn’t understand to avoid being liked by the other party, but then he thought of this woman’s face and his aunt’s face, so he had to continue to answer in English, “I worked in a planning company. The highest position I held was deputy manager.”

“Very good!”

Hong Xiaodan nodded with satisfaction, looking like an interviewer evaluating an interviewee.

Seeing this, Chen Feng was secretly annoyed. He also asked in English, “You said you are a fashion designer? Then what clothes have you designed now? Do you have any representative works?”

Chen Feng’s words were obviously deliberately provocative. She had only graduated for two years. How could she have any representative works of fashion design?
