In the evening, Chen Feng received a ssage from Liu Ying, telling him about her uncle's incident, and that he is still in detention.
Her parents and aunt had visited, but he couldn't co out for a while, and they could only wait until tomorrow to hire a lawyer to seek bail.
Of course, Chen Feng wasn't too concerned about this, so after asking a few questions, he lost interest in continuing the conversation.
Instead, he chatted with Hong Xiaodan for a while. He hadn't gone to see her today, considering her depression, Chen Feng briefly explained that he had things to do.
Hong Xiaodan was quite understanding and didn't make unreasonable demands, she just hoped Chen Feng could take the ti to visit her, even if it's just to have a al together or chat for a bit.
Hong Xiaodan seed quite humble around him, considering her ntal and physical state, all Chen Feng could do was to comfort her.
Around nine in the morning the next day, Chen Feng went to Bibo Garden to see Hong Xiaodan. This ti she didn't drag him directly into the bedroom, but rather sat with him in the living room, watching TV and chatting until lunch.
Chen Feng had lunch with her and chatted for a while before saying goodbye and leaving.
This ti, Chen Feng went to Liu Ying's place, unexpectedly she was alone.
Her parents took her aunt to find a lawyer today, hoping to bail out her uncle.
Seeing Chen Feng coming over, she was very happy and said, "When I was alone before, I didn't feel anything, but now being pregnant and alone, it feels empty and I have no sense of security. Luckily you're here to keep company, otherwise, I wouldn't know how to get through the day."
Chen Feng said, "How about I hire a nanny for you? Your mom is getting on in age and looking after you alone might be overwhelming."
"I'm okay with it, but my mom is worried that the nanny won't be reliable. You know, finding a trustworthy and dependable nanny is difficult."
Chen Feng said, "You can ask your mom to get referrals from relatives or friends, or hire soone familiar."
Liu Ying smiled bitterly, "In my situation, if relatives and friends find out, it'd be embarrassing for my parents. Besides my parents, only my aunt's family knows about my pregnancy, none of the other relatives do."
Chen Feng smiled and said, "It's sothing people will know sooner or later, there's nothing to be embarrassed about. Nowadays many people have kids out of wedlock, and since you've already had one, isn't having a second child normal?"
Liu Ying gave him a look and said, "We don't have any official status, and yet the child is here. If relatives and friends know, they'll gossip a lot. I don't care, but I'm worried about my parents."
Chen Feng dismissively said, "You live your life for yourself, who cares what others say. Besides, didn't I suggest that your dad also move here? Hasn't he agreed yet?"
Liu Ying nodded bitterly, "Yes, he's very stubborn. He says he's used to living in the old neighborhood, and it's close to his work. Mainly, he feels uncomfortable living in a house you bought. After all, you're not his son-in-law, not even considered his daughter's boyfriend."
Chen Feng pretended not to catch the underlying aning of Liu Ying's words, smiled and said, "Then just wait until your dad figures it out and moves here. As for the nanny, I can try to find a suitable one for you."
Liu Ying asked, "What kind of nanny do you plan to find for ?"
"Definitely a reliable one, with a clean background and clear history."
"How will you find one?"
"If you spend more money, there's no reason you can't find one."
Chen Feng plans to ask Ning Wei, his client manager, for help. As a VIP client of Xiu Zhou Bank, he hasn't really enjoyed any of their super VIP services yet.
He now has nearly a hundred million deposited in Xiu Zhou Bank. For safety, he also has thirty to forty million in two other banks.
In terms of cash flow, he might even be more impressive than those claiming to have billions in assets.
In fact, keeping so much money in the bank isn't very safe; the best way is to invest it.
But Chen Feng is too lazy; the money's been in the bank for quite so ti, and he hasn't thought about investnts. As for the frequent financial product calls from the banks, he's ignored them, blocking their numbers after several attempts.
"If the nanny isn't reliable or satisfactory, I won't want her."
Chen Feng took her slightly arrogant words to heart and smiled, nodding.
Now that she's pregnant, without any surprise, the child in her belly would be his first kid. No amount of attention from Chen Feng would be excessive.
"When is your mom likely to co back?" Chen Feng changed the topic and asked.
Liu Ying shook her head and said, "I don't know, she went out early in the morning."
"Give her a call and ask," Chen Feng urged. He planned to go back but wasn't comfortable leaving Liu Ying at ho alone.
Liu Ying nodded, picked up her phone and called her mom.
Her mom said she'd be back soon, and also ntioned that Shi Xiangnan had been successfully bailed out, but the police would continue to investigate, and it wouldn't be easy for Shi Xiangnan to be exonerated.
After hanging up, Liu Ying sighed and said, "My uncle was fine, how did it end up like this? My mom sounded like he might have to go to prison, and also pay a large fine."
Since Liu Ying brought up Shi Xiangnan, Chen Feng couldn't ignore it and asked about his situation, learning that he was involved in issuing fake VAT invoices and defrauding national export tax rebates, particularly the latter being a serious cri liable to heavy penalties.
"Even if he might have been deceived, deep down he probably wasn't completely unaware, having run a trade company for so many years. These tricks and ans are impossible not to know. Ultimately, greed got the best of him, overstepping bounds by helping others defraud export tax rebates. It's not wrong to say he's an accessory."
Liu Ying laughed and said, "Seems like you do have a grudge against my uncle."
Chen Feng denied, "I'm just speaking objectively."
"Fine, speaking objectively, you've labeled my uncle as a criminal."
Chen Feng chuckled and didn't argue with her over it, quickly changing the subject to talk about Hong Xiaodan.
"Little Dan seems to be doing well these days, much more cheerful, don't you think?"
Liu Ying, with a hint of jealousy, said, "Of course, she's been in good spirits. I heard you've been spending ti with her every day for at least half the day. If you spent so much ti with , I'd be over the moon too."
"She has depression, doesn't she? Otherwise, do you think I have that much free ti?"
Chen Feng defended himself. It's true, if he wasn't concerned about her antenatal depression affecting the baby, he wouldn't have had so much patience.
"You definitely have free ti. You don't even go to the company, staying ho pretty much every day. Do you not have ti?"
Chen Feng was left a bit speechless by her words and reached over to pinch her cheek, as a form of punishnt.
