Chapter 652: Chapter 356: Cannot Let Her Be Wronged_2
Chen Feng reassuringly said, I also want to leave, but the problem is your daughter definitely doesn’t want to.
"Dad, how we get along should be coordinated and resolved directly between us, there’s no need for you to worry about it."
Guo Mengyao spoke up to help Chen Feng out of a tight spot. Although she was quite unhappy about Chen Feng rejecting her earlier, now that she’s facing her parents, she’s trying to cover for Chen Feng as much as possible.
Mr. Guo originally had a stern demeanor, but with his daughter interrupting like this, it was hard to maintain that severity. He could only take a deep drag on his cigarette and said somewhat helplessly, "Dad’s demanding this of him for your good. If he can’t ensure you’re treated well and suffer no grievances, I’m really worried you might get hurt in the future."
Upon hearing this, Chen Feng quickly said, "Uncle, don’t worry. Even if Mengyao and I don’t end up as husband and wife in the future, we wouldn’t fall out. She wouldn’t be hurt in any way; she’s stronger than you imagine."
"From what you’re saying, you don’t seem to have confidence in your future together. You’re already considering the possibility of not becoming a couple." Mr. Guo stared at Chen Feng with dissatisfaction.
Guo Mengyao quickly covered by saying, "His first marriage was a failure, so now he’s somewhat afraid of marriage and lacks confidence in the future. Actually, I’m the same way."
Mr. Guo didn’t speak; he just looked at Chen Feng with eyes still full of discontent.
Mrs. Guo spoke up, "You two are grown-ups; you should know what you’re doing. If you’re suitable, I think you should stop hesitating and get engaged or married soon. Even if things don’t work out in the future, you can always get another divorce. Anyway, aren’t you two quite compatible now?"
Chen Feng and Guo Mengyao were speechless upon hearing this; Mrs. Guo seemed less dependable than Mr. Guo.
Mr. Guo reprimanded unhappily, "What nonsense are you saying? Do you want our daughter to marry a third time? Or to die alone after another divorce?"
Mrs. Guo retorted, "That’s not what I meant. I just think they are quite a match. They’re high school classmates, rekindling old feelings, and their wealth is comparable, making them well-suited for each other, marrying not because of money. Isn’t that great?"
Mr. Guo thought about it and it seemed so; at least Chen Feng liking his daughter wasn’t because of her money, which moved his heart.
"Alright, alright," Guo Mengyao said, "we’re both grown-ups now and have our own ideas. This time, I brought him over to meet you, hoping you wouldn’t worry about my relationship issues anymore. I have my plans."
"What plans do you have? Tell me," Mrs. Guo asked discontentedly.
"My plan is simple, we’ll date for at most one or two years, and if we’re suitable, we’ll consider marriage. If not, we’ll just... break up. You can arrange blind dates for me later."
"How old will you be in one or two years? My silly daughter, don’t you have any sense? Since you’re interested, decide early. Ah Feng, what’s your parents’ stance on your lifelong concerns?"
Faced with Mrs. Guo’s sudden inquiry, Chen Feng calmly said, "My parents were worried initially, but now they’ve thought it through and let me decide for myself."
Mrs. Guo frowned slightly and asked, "Do your parents know you’re dating Mengyao?"
Chen Feng suddenly felt a headache; he didn’t want to lie, there was no need, he said frankly, "I haven’t told them yet."
Mr. Guo sneered, "If you’re not comfortable saying it, I’ll go talk to your parents."
Hearing this, Chen Feng felt a major headache; this was what he feared earlier. Both families lived in the same county, too close. With Mr. and Mrs. Guo’s connections, it would be easy to find his family.
"Dad, don’t get involved in our matters randomly. I’ll discuss with him when to meet his parents."
Guo Mengyao again helped Chen Feng out of his predicament.
Mr. Guo took another deep drag on his cigarette, then crushed it heavily in the ashtray, saying with a smile, "Alright, you two discuss among yourselves. But now that you’ve met me and your mom, it’s about time he takes you to meet his parents. Once your relationship is stable, your mom and I will go meet his parents."
This was exactly what Chen Feng feared; he suddenly felt uncomfortable, even his scalp tingled. If they truly went to meet his parents, his parents would surely go crazy, having already embraced Wu Mengting as their daughter-in-law and just introduced her to friends.
Chen Feng immediately signaled to Guo Mengyao with his eyes, but this time Guo Mengyao didn’t help him but looked at him expectantly with big eyes, seemingly wanting to meet Chen Feng’s parents too.
Chen Feng suddenly felt betrayed, really wanting to grab her and let her taste the stick’s flavor.
"Yes. I think you should meet Ah Feng’s parents tomorrow. Ah Feng, what do you say?"
Mrs. Guo directly pressed Chen Feng to clarify his position.
Chen Feng secretly took a deep breath and then said calmly, "If Mengyao is willing, I can take her to meet my parents."
"That’s good. You should meet them tomorrow," Mr. Guo said, grinning, "After all, Ah Feng has met us, reciprocity demands, Mengyao, you should also meet Ah Feng’s parents. Ah Feng, wouldn’t you agree?"
Chen Feng didn’t respond to his words, just smiled, while Guo Mengyao nodded and said, "Yes, dad, you’re right. I’ll go meet his parents tomorrow."
"Good, good, good. When you go, bring some gifts tomorrow," Mrs. Guo advised happily.
"Alright," Guo Mengyao nodded obediently.
Chen Feng could only hold his tea cup, feeling somewhat stifled inside while drinking water.
Next, Mr. Guo took the initiative to ask about Chen Feng’s current job specifically; Chen Feng simply said he was trading stocks now. Upon hearing this, Mr. Guo wasn’t very satisfied, feeling the stock market was too risky.
Then Chen Feng said, "I also think so, so I invested part of my money, putting 30 million in Mengyao’s company, and also investing some money in a company where I previously worked in Xiu Zhou."
"What’s the company in Xiu Zhou? How much did you invest? What percentage of shares do you hold?" Mr. Guo asked in detail.
"It’s a cultural planning company, with good performance, I’ve invested about 20 million, holding 22% of the shares."
Chen Feng’s answer satisfied both Mr. and Mrs. Guo. Investments in these two companies totaled over 40 million, an asset flow matching their daughter.
The four chatted for about an hour, they ordered quite a few things but mostly just drank tea.
After Mr. and Mrs. Guo left on their own initiative, Chen Feng and Guo Mengyao did not leave immediately.
