Chen Feng had been waiting for Jin Yongnian’s call, and when he finally saw it co through, he answered.
"Hello, is this Chen Feng?"
"It’s ."
"So... here’s the thing, Shi Xiangnan is the one who wants to play peacemaker this ti. You know him, right?"
Chen Feng was stunned to find out it was Shi Xiangnan and not Sun Yanhong.
He always thought it was Sun Yanhong who kept bothering him, turns out it’s Shi Xiangnan. But how does Shi Xiangnan know about his relationship with Jin Yongnian?
"I know him, but how does he know our relationship?" Chen Feng asked directly.
Jin Yongnian was silent for a mont before deciding to tell the truth: "It was Sun Yanhong who told him. If it weren’t for her, I wouldn’t agree to be a peacemaker for Shi Xiangnan. I owe Sun Yanhong a big favor."
When Sun Yanhong called Jin Yongnian, she advised him not to tell Chen Feng. But Shi Xiangnan ntioned this old woman has an interest in Chen Feng, how could he not tell Chen Feng?
Upon hearing this explanation, Chen Feng felt relieved. As expected, it was Sun Yanhong pulling the strings from behind. This old woman must have investigated all his relationships thoroughly.
"I got it, but there’s really nothing to discuss between and Shi Xiangnan."
Of course, Chen Feng didn’t want to et Shi Xiangnan again, let alone have a al together. He didn’t want to bother with socializing.
"I ntioned earlier that I owe Sun Yanhong a favor. If you agree to et Shi Xiangnan for a al, consider that favor repaid. Otherwise, I’ll feel uneasy about it. Additionally, I’d like to have a proper chat with you."
Chen Feng wasn’t pleased with these words from Jin Yongnian, thinking to himself, "What does your debt to Sun Yanhong have to do with ?" But considering the gentle, understanding, obedient Jin Xinyan, of course, he had to show her father so respect.
"Uncle, it’s not that I don’t want to help you repay the favor. It’s just that I t Shi Xiangnan this morning, and he wanted to use my charm to help him enter Sun Yanhong’s business project. I obviously refused, and the eting ended unpleasantly. Now he wants you to step in, surely to discuss the sa thing, which I’m still going to refuse. So, if I agree to et him again, it might end up in a dispute, which won’t look good on you."
"My relationship with Shi Xiangnan is pretty average now. If you really end up in a dispute, I will stand by your side without hesitation."
After saying this, Jin Yongnian hesitated a bit before speaking again: "Actually, Sun Yanhong’s business project is quite good. Many people are finding ways to invest in it, but unfortunately, most lack the channels. Now Sun Yanhong offers so shares to you, are you not even a bit tempted?"
Chen Feng frowned and said, "What’s there to be tempted about? I’m not short of money. Besides, her investnt cycle should be quite long, at least two to three years, and it’s unnecessary. If I want to make money, there are plenty of quicker ways."
"Alright, it’s good that you’re not tempted." After this sentence, Jin Yongnian hesitated again before saying: "Shi Xiangnan has already told about that woman nad Liu Ying, shouldn’t you give and Xinyan an explanation?"
Jin Yongnian didn’t intend to be so direct initially; he planned to discuss it more tactfully in person. But he suddenly realized that if he faced Chen Feng directly, the topic might be even harder to broach, so he might as well ntion it over the phone as a rehearsal, giving both a heads-up.
As for Chen Feng, he wasn’t surprised that Jin Yongnian knew about Liu Ying. Since Shi Xiangnan enlisted Jin Yongnian as a peacemaker, he was already aware.
He felt rather open about this matter because, from the beginning, he and Jin Xinyan had set clear terms. They didn’t count as real boyfriend and girlfriend, and Jin Xinyan always knew he had other won around. She knew that even after being with her, he wouldn’t break up with the others.
When Jin Xinyan took him ho to et her parents, it was just to play along.
But considering Jin Xinyan’s dignity, Chen Feng didn’t plan to reveal their actual relationship openly. So he feigned a sigh after a mont of silence: "Alright, it’s my fault. I’ll talk to Xinyan. If she doesn’t forgive and decides to break up, I can only accept it."
Jin Yongnian quickly responded: "No, wait, I didn’t an you need to break up with Xinyan. I ant, how do you plan to handle your relationship with this Liu Ying? You wouldn’t marry this woman, right? And for the child she’s carrying, are you planning to keep it?"
Chen Feng understood the mont Jin Yongnian spoke, clearly, the other party was reluctant to lose him as a potential son-in-law.
"The child is planned to be kept; it’s my first child, it can’t be discarded. But I definitely won’t marry her. I’ll explain it to Xinyan, whatever decision she makes will be respected."
"Ah, look at what a ss this is. You two are perfect for each other, and both Xinyan’s mom and I thought this year you could settle the marriage arrangents. Now this happens. I don’t even know what to say."
Jin Yongnian truly didn’t know what to say, afraid if he was too harsh, Chen Feng would flee. But if he let it go too easily, it might happen again in the future.
"We’d better let Xinyan and I discuss this on our own. I’ll talk to her properly. By the way, tomorrow morning at nine, Ancient Charm Tea House, bring Shi Xiangnan over, I’ll et him to let you repay your favor. Skip the al."
Chen Feng eventually agreed to Jin Yongnian’s request, not only as compensation but also to settle things with Shi Xiangnan, to avoid future harassnt.
As for Sun Yanhong, Chen Feng was naturally very angry at this mont. This woman clearly didn’t take his last warning seriously, interfering in matters between him and Shi Xiangnan, indirectly harassing him, and letting Jin Yongnian learn of Liu Ying’s existence, forcing him to take responsibility.
"You agreed?" Jin Yongnian was sowhat surprised.
"Yes. If I don’t see him again, he won’t give up. I’ll tell him clearly to avoid further entanglents."
"Alright, I’ll notify him shortly. Shi Xiangnan is quite arrogant, I don’t see eye to eye with him either; if you really get into a quarrel, I will definitely stand by your side."
"Okay, let’s leave it at that."
"Chen Feng, about Xinyan, actually it’s okay if you tell her a bit later."
Jin Yongnian’s words circled back, worried about his daughter being hurt and therefore hesitated, not wanting her to be shocked so early.
"Yes, I know, I’ll choose a suitable ti to talk to her."
Actually, Chen Feng didn’t want to talk about Liu Ying’s pregnancy with other won so early either, although saying it doesn’t change much, but it’s better if they don’t know.
If they really have to know, it should be after the child is born safely.
