Chapter 249: Meeting Liu Ying’s Parents

Before dinner, Chen Feng returned to the No. 8 villa.

Wu Mengting and Sun Xiaorui both had their own guesses about his outing this time, but they both tacitly remained silent and avoided talking about it.

Although their relationship was very good now, how should I put it, there was still a little bit of a knot in their hearts.

Needless to say, Wu Mengting maintained a certain degree of hostility towards the other women around Chen Feng because she believed that she was the only one who truly loved Chen Feng, while the other women were only after his money. Sun Xiaorui was no exception, she was just kept by him with his wallet.

Just this point alone made it impossible for Wu Mengting to truly respect Sun Xiaorui in her heart.

Just like the saying goes, one must first have self-respect and self-love before others will respect you.

And on Sun Xiaorui’s side, of course, she also had some opinions about Wu Mengting. Originally, she and Chen Feng were living together, but later Wu Mengting came in and squeezed in. No one would be happy about it.

It was just that because Chen Feng, this big shot, had recognized Wu Mengting as his god-sister, and she was now only a mistress kept by Chen Feng in name, not the mistress of this villa, what could she do?

So, to say that they were plastic sisters might be a bit of an exaggeration, but they were definitely not sisters who could confide in each other.

The two women understood each other’s psychology, but on the surface, they were still quite good. And sometimes, when they thought about it, if Chen Feng went out, they would be quite bored, lonely, and scared at home alone. With someone to accompany them, it would not be like this.

Of course, this was just thinking in a good direction. If they could get the other party out of the game, they would definitely be willing to do it, provided that they could not let Chen Feng know or cause Chen Feng’s disgust and anger.

They confided in each other and even cooperated to a certain extent, but they were also on guard against each other to a certain extent.

Just like this time when Chen Feng went out, even though they both guessed in their hearts that Chen Feng had gone to see another woman, they did not take the initiative to say this guess. The main reason was that they were afraid that the other party would go to Chen Feng to complain, or be used as a gun by the other party, which would anger Chen Feng.

Besides, even if Chen Feng really had a woman outside, the two of them were completely helpless. It was useless to say anything.

Although Chen Feng also knew that they were sometimes at odds, he would not pay too much attention to it. He did not ask the two of them to be as close as sisters. As long as they did not plot against each other and cause trouble at home, it would be fine.

The next morning, after the morning exercise and breakfast, Chen Feng told the two women again and then drove out.

This time, he went out mainly to meet her parents with her as requested by Liu Ying.

After all, he had slept with her, so on the surface, he still had to satisfy some of her requests.

Another point was that this time Chen Feng went to see her parents with her, then her parents would definitely not introduce her to anyone else. To a certain extent, meeting the parents also had some binding force on Liu Ying. Or rather, it could temporarily stabilize her heart.

Otherwise, if Liu Ying found another lover, Chen Feng would feel a little uncomfortable in his heart.

He didn’t want to share a woman with others. At least during the period when he and Liu Ying were still in an intimate relationship, he didn’t want other men to have a leg with her. This was human nature.

So, it was still necessary to go to see her parents with her.

Of course, he couldn’t go to Liu Ying’s house empty-handed. He didn’t ask Liu Ying about her parents’ preferences in advance, but went directly to Huichun Hall on the way, planning to buy two wild ginsengs as gifts.

It was quite a coincidence. This was his second time coming to Huichun Hall, and he actually met the young white-coated Wen Zihan again. The first time he came, it was this Wen Zihan who led him to see the shopkeeper here, Old Hu, and then sold the natural sheep treasure at a good price.

Looking at Wen Zihan’s casual attitude in Old Hu’s office at that time, there was no doubt that she had a background.

“You are that… Chen Feng, I haven’t seen you for a long time. Are you here to sell something good this time?”

Just as Chen Feng met her, she recognized him at a glance. The main reason was that Chen Feng had left a deep impression on her. The pure natural sheep treasure that Chen Feng had taken out at that time was too rare, and it was sold at a high price. In addition, Chen Feng’s name was very easy to remember.

“No. Miss Wen, I’m here to buy wild ginseng this time. Do you have any here?”

Chen Feng had no intention of getting close to her and directly stated his purpose.

Wen Zihan was quite enthusiastic and quickly said, “Of course we have wild ginseng. We are Huichun Hall. What kind of medicinal materials don’t we have? What grade do you want?”

“Ordinary ones will do. I want two, and the price should be within tens of thousands.”

“Oh, alright. Then I’ll get you two. Come with me.”

Chen Feng followed Wen Zihan to the innermost medicinal material counter. Then he saw Wen Zihan say something to a middle-aged man in a white coat inside. The middle-aged man in a white coat took out two boxes of ginseng from a cabinet and handed them to Wen Zihan.

“Alright, I got them.” Wen Zihan shook the ginseng box in her hand at Chen Feng slightly. “These two are real wild ginseng. They are a little better than the ones in the glass counter. I’ll give you both for 50,000. If there’s no problem, come with me to get the invoice.”

Chen Feng smiled and nodded, “Okay, thank you.”

This was his first time visiting, and this price of gift was enough. As for Wen Zihan cheating him, Chen Feng didn’t think so.

And Chen Feng was so calm and believed her, which made Wen Zihan very satisfied.

Chen Feng immediately went to the cashier to get the invoice, paid the money, and then got the two boxes of ginseng.

“Open it and have a look,” Wen Zihan reminded.

Only then did Chen Feng open the two boxes and look. Inside were two relatively complete ginsengs. A strong smell of ginseng was emitted, which was very comfortable to smell.

“Are these two okay?” Wen Zihan asked with a smile.

Chen Feng didn’t know, so he could only nod and say, “Yes, they are okay.”

“It’s good that you are satisfied. If you want to buy any other medicinal materials next time, you can contact me first. I remember we added each other on WeChat.”

“Okay, I’ll trouble you next time if I need anything. I won’t disturb your work. Goodbye.”

Chen Feng had no intention of chatting with her here. He was about to leave after he finished speaking.

Wen Zihan wanted to say something more, but for a moment she didn’t know what to say. She could only wave to Chen Feng and say, “Alright, see you next time.”

Chen Feng nodded at her and left Huichun Hall.

His appearance of not being sloppy at all made Wen Zihan feel a little uncomfortable. She was a beauty after all, but she seemed to have no attraction to Chen Feng at all.

Chen Feng casually put the bag containing the two ginseng boxes on the passenger seat, turned on the navigation, started the car, and drove to Liu Ying’s house.

Although Liu Ying was also from the urban area, her home was in the suburbs. It took Chen Feng almost an hour to drive to the entrance of her community.

This was an old community with a history of at least twenty or thirty years. It could be seen from the sixty-something-year-old man guarding the door.

For an old community like this, it was already good to have a gatekeeper. Many of them didn’t have one anymore.

This old man was still quite conscientious. Chen Feng was stopped directly when he drove over. However, after Chen Feng directly reported the unit number and casually handed him a big red ticket, the old man waved his hand and let him go.

The car drove smoothly to the downstairs of Unit 7 and stopped. Then Chen Feng sent a WeChat message to Liu Ying, saying that he was already downstairs at her house.

Liu Ying replied in a second, [Coming down right away.]

It was really right away. In less than a minute, Liu Ying came down with a clatter. She was wearing slippers, and she was also wearing casual clothes today. She was not deliberately dressed up, and she only had a little light makeup on her face.

Chen Feng immediately got out of the car with the gift bag and said to her with a smile, “Your parents are not already waiting for me, are they?”

Liu Ying smiled with some embarrassment, “I’ve shown them your photo. They are quite satisfied with your appearance. In addition, we are college classmates, so they also think it’s very good. What they are mainly worried about now is your character, and also… your financial strength. Later, if they ask you if you have a car, a house, or even how much savings you have, don’t be angry.”

Chen Feng said indifferently, “It’s natural for them to ask these questions. I won’t be angry.”

“Then I’m relieved. Thank you so much this time. You don’t know, my parents have been urging me to get married so much that I’m almost autistic. I’ve wanted to move out several times. Now that I have you, I can finally be free.”

“It’s fine as long as you are willing.”

Chen Feng looked like a gentleman.

Liu Ying nodded with great satisfaction, “You are really charming like this.”

“Alright, let’s go up quickly. Your parents are still waiting,” Chen Feng reminded.

“Oh, right. My parents have indeed been waiting since early in the morning. I’ll take you up.”

After Liu Ying came back to her senses, she took Chen Feng upstairs.

This unit building had a total of six floors and no elevator. Her family lived on the third floor, which was not very high.

The main door was half-open. Liu Ying took the lead and walked in, shouting to the inside, “Dad, Mom, Chen Feng is here.”

Chen Feng followed behind her and saw Liu Ying’s parents sitting on the sofa as soon as he entered the entrance.

Liu’s father was wearing glasses, his hair was neatly combed, and he was dressed like an old intellectual. Liu’s mother was thin, but her temperament was also a little literary.

“Hello, uncle and aunt. I’m Chen Feng.”

Chen Feng greeted them with a smile.

“Hello, hello. Come in and sit down.” Liu’s mother stood up and walked over to greet him warmly.

Liu’s father continued to sit steadily, looked Chen Feng up and down with a somewhat stern gaze, and then nodded slightly at him.

“Okay.”

Chen Feng agreed, took off his shoes, took the slippers that Liu Ying handed him, put them on, and walked into the living room.

“Auntie, I didn’t know what you liked for my first visit, so I just went to Huichun Hall and bought two wild ginsengs. If you two need them, you can use them to stew things.”

“Ah, wild ginseng. This is too precious! We can’t accept it.” Liu’s mother immediately pushed it away.

Liu Ying was very clear about Chen Feng’s net worth. Although she was a little surprised that he had bought two wild ginsengs, she was not very surprised.

“Auntie, these two wild ginsengs are the most common kind. They are not very precious. You can just accept them.”

Liu’s mother looked at Liu Ying with some hesitation.

“Mom, just accept it.” Liu Ying didn’t think it was a big deal. Seeing this, Liu’s mother accepted it.

“Come, sit here.” Liu’s father finally stood up from the sofa and gestured for Chen Feng to come over.

Chen Feng was not nervous. He just nodded and smiled at Liu’s father, then walked over and sat down next to him generously.

“I heard from Xiaoying that you are from Lushi, right? Speaking of which, I am also half a Lushi person, because my mother’s family moved here from Lushi back then.”

“Yes, I am from Linnan, Lushi.”

“Linnan, I have some impression, but I haven’t been there. I’ve been to Lushi and Qingyue a few times.”

Liu’s father was still quite talkative. He quickly talked about Lushi, Xiuzhou, and some of his past experiences.

Through his words, Chen Feng also knew that he was indeed an old intellectual. He now worked in the Cultural Bureau and was also a leader, but he was almost sixty years old and would retire in a few years. And Liu’s mother was a teacher. Because her health was not very good, she retired two years early.

It turned out that this old couple were both old intellectuals. It was a pity that their daughter Liu Ying was nothing now. But Liu Ying could also be said to have come from a scholarly family.

Although her parents were not rich and noble, they were relatively noble. Both of them had good jobs, at least they didn’t have to worry about their retirement and medical care in the future. And they only had her, such a beautiful daughter. Even if she was divorced, there were still many people chasing her.

“I heard from Xiaoying that you are now a professional stock trader, right? Besides stock trading, have you considered doing some more formal work or business?”

After talking about this and that, Liu’s father seemed to naturally ask a practical question. In this way, with the previous exchange as a buffer, it did not seem very abrupt.

Facing Liu’s father’s question, Chen Feng answered very frankly, “I have considered it. I am currently planning to acquire a film and television company, and then do business in film and television investment and production.”

When he said this, the three members of the Liu family were all a little dumbfounded. They really didn’t expect Chen Feng to give such an answer. A film and television company and what film and television investment and production, this was really not related to Chen Feng at all.

“Chen Feng, are you serious? You’re not kidding, are you? Why did you suddenly think of acquiring a film and television company, and you even want to invest in film and television production? Do you know anything about these?”

Liu Ying asked the question that the three of them had.

Chen Feng shook his head, “Of course I’m not kidding. I’m more interested in this aspect now, so I want to give it a try.”

“Just interest?” Liu Ying quickly and caringly advised, “It seems you really don’t know much about these. Then I advise you not to enter the market easily, otherwise it’s easy to be cheated or lose money. Those film and television investments and productions cost tens of millions or even hundreds of millions. If you lose, you’ll lose everything.”

“How do you know if you’ll lose if you don’t try? Besides, if I lose, I can afford to lose,” Chen Feng said with an indifferent look.

“Can you afford to lose tens of millions or hundreds of millions?” Liu Ying asked with a look of doubt.

Chen Feng just smiled slightly and said, “At the beginning, I definitely won’t make a big investment. I’ll start with a small cost.”

Hearing this, Liu’s father did not follow up with advice. Instead, he said with a philosophical tone, “Since you have made a decision, then go ahead and do it. In recent years, our country’s economic development has been good, and society has been prosperous and stable, which has given birth to a huge cultural and entertainment market. Movies and television are the most popular entertainment methods for the public. I am very optimistic about this industry. If you can do it well, it is indeed very profitable.”
