"We'll talk about it later."
Chen Feng still didn't agree imdiately. After saying this, he turned around and headed towards the door.
Just then, Mrs. Hong ca out from the inner room and called out to Chen Feng, "Aren't you staying for dinner?"
"No, I have things to do, I'll head out first."
Chen Feng waved his hand and continued towards the door. In no ti, he reached the entrance, swiftly changed his shoes, opened the door, and left without looking back, then slamd the door shut.
"It seems he still has a lot of issues with you." Mrs. Hong said to her daughter with a sowhat displeased expression.
Hong Xiaodan responded with a slightly dismayed tone, "That's unavoidable, considering I sched against him."
"You're so stubborn." Mrs. Hong said sowhat resentfully, "He's right, you could easily find soone better than him, let his child call soone else Dad."
Hong Xiaodan frowned upon hearing this and asked irritably, "Were you eavesdropping on us just now?"
Mrs. Hong said righteously, "Can this be considered eavesdropping? I naturally heard you from the room."
Hong Xiaodan didn't bother arguing with her, she just replied irritably, "Stay out of my business with him."
"You're my daughter, how can I not be concerned?"
"Even if you want to be concerned, you can't do anything. I already have his child, and you still want to find another man."
"Did I say that? That's what Chen Feng told you."
"He has the reason and right to say so, but you don't. How could our child call soone else Dad?"
"You're really stubborn, you're going to drive mad. Chen Feng clearly said he doesn't want you, but you keep clinging to him shalessly, what's the point? This world isn't short of n, and he's not that exceptional, there are plenty of n more outstanding and handso than him."
"Alright, I'm too lazy to argue with you, I'm going to lie down for a while."
...
After leaving Hong Xiaodan's place, Chen Feng drove straight ho.
The next day at noon, Liu Ying sent Chen Feng a WeChat ssage saying that the neighbor Cai Xiuyi had given her lots of gifts, apologized specifically, and said her sister had already moved away with her two children, there would be no more disturbances.
Cai Xiuyi was very humble. Her sudden gesture naturally surprised Liu Ying, thinking it through could only be related to Chen Feng, which led to the courteous apology.
Liu Ying was curious if Chen Feng had done sothing behind the scenes, causing the other side to be so humble, so she asked Chen Feng for the reason.
Of course, Chen Feng hadn't done anything, but he suspected it was related to Cui Yushu, which caused Cai Xiuyi to co and apologize.
So, Chen Feng explained to Liu Ying slightly, also ntioning the previous conflict between his aunt and Cai Xiuyi.
Seeing that Chen Feng's aunt had had a previous conflict with Cai Xiuyi, Liu Ying was a bit taken aback and imdiately sent Chen Feng a voice ssage: [I didn't know she was like that, should I return these gifts she gave ?]
Chen Feng replied with a voice ssage: [There's no need for that. However, if she cos to you again, you'd better not engage with her, keep so distance. This woman is very arrogant, don't let her influence you.]
[Okay, I understand. I don't like her anyway, especially since I'm pregnant now, I won't interact with her.]
...
Around four in the afternoon, Liu Ying sent another WeChat ssage saying that Cai Xiuyi visited again, hoping to invite Chen Feng and Liu Ying to her house for a casual al.
Chen Feng refused without a second thought.
After a while, Liu Ying sent another ssage saying, the other side was so enthusiastic that she couldn't turn them down, and agreed to visit with her mother.
Seeing this ssage, Chen Feng thought for a mont and replied with "Whatever."
Afraid that Chen Feng might be upset, Liu Ying explained in detail saying that this ti Cai Xiuyi brought an entire set of baby supplies, including luxury baby strollers, luxury baby skincare bath products, a box of high-end diapers, premium feeding bottles and nipples, and almost any baby product you could think of, she had bought.
It was evident that Cai Xiuyi put effort into choosing these gifts, moreover, since the baby products were already delivered, refusing them seed inconsiderate, and might even be unlucky, so she accepted them.
And since she accepted so much from them, it felt unjustifiable to refuse their friendly invitation, especially since they're just next door.
Additionally, Liu Ying ntioned she isn't foolish, she understands that gifts co with expectations and won't agree easily. Chen Feng replied this ti with: [Glad you know.]
Cai Xiuyi delivering gifts twice within a day, especially the ticulously chosen baby items the second ti, certainly ca with expectations.
Last night, her father suddenly had a cerebral hemorrhage and was rushed to the hospital for ergency treatnt. He was saved but has remained unconscious, the situation isn't optimistic.
This morning Cui Yushu received news that Secretary Zhang, his dad's forr subordinate, was suspended and investigated.
His father-in-law and Secretary Zhang have always been Cui Yushu's biggest supports, without them backing him, his dia company wouldn't have much business.
Misfortunes never co singly.
Furthermore, Cui Yushu and Cai Xiuyi were sowhat paranoid and worried, they suspected that Secretary Zhang's sudden suspension and investigation might have sothing to do with Chen Feng.
The aim was to retaliate against Cui Yushu which implicated Secretary Zhang, just like that ti Fan Xin, who behaved arrogantly in the entertainnt circle, ended up implicating his uncle because he offended Chen Feng, and his uncle was his biggest support.
The couple had offended Chen Feng's aunt previously, creating a grudge, and now because of Cai Xiushu they clashed with Chen Feng's partner, further deepening the grievances.
Recalling Cai Xiushu's confession to them, especially cursing Liu Ying's unborn child, which parent wouldn't be furious?
Putting themselves in Chen Feng's shoes, he surely despised Cai Xiushu and the couple, hence directly implicated Cui Yushu's greatest support.
The couple couldn't shake off the suspicion as they continued pondering over it, so they hurriedly purchased so premium nutritional products to deliver to Liu Ying, with Cai Xiuyi personally visiting to apologize.
Seeing Liu Ying was relatively accommodating, the couple pressed on, visiting several malls during the afternoon to buy the best baby products, delivering them by evening, this ti further extending an invitation to Chen Feng through Liu Ying.
If Chen Feng agreed, it would be ideal. Cui Yushu would hurry back ho to formally apologize to Chen Feng, turning hostility into friendship. If not, they would first invite Liu Ying over.
Chen Feng indeed didn't accept, so they settled for inviting Liu Ying and her mother for a al, and as the man of the house, Cui Yushu temporarily stayed out of it.
At the mont, their plan was proceeding relatively smoothly, at least they've managed to get on Liu Ying's good side through Cai Xiuyi.
