Wu ngting felt a quiet sense of relief upon hearing her aunt’s words.
The atmosphere just now had made her think sothing bad had happened at ho.
She sat down next to her mom first, then said, "Actually, I already knew about it."
The four elders were stunned by her words.
After a while, Mrs. Wu was the first to ask angrily, "Since you know, do you still... like him? What are you thinking?"
Wu ngting calmly replied, "Liking soone is just liking them. There’s no reason for it."
Mr. and Mrs. Wu felt exhausted upon hearing this, unable to find words to respond. anwhile, her aunt earnestly advised, "Little Ting, please don’t be foolish. If this Chen Feng hadn’t gotten this incurable disease, we as your elders wouldn’t insist on advising you. But now he has, and you still want to date him? It’s like jumping into a fire pit willingly. Don’t be silly."
Mr. Wu sighed and said, "Chen Feng is a rather outstanding young man, but it’s a pity that fate has been cruel to him, giving him this incurable disease. It’s sothing that can’t be helped. I can allow you to be friends with him, but not boyfriend and girlfriend."
Wu ngting slightly frowned and said seriously, "I know you have my best interests at heart, but when it cos to matters of the heart, advice from others is useless. I have my own thoughts and plans. I hope you can respect ."
Her uncle, Hong Guiquan, then suddenly asked, "How well do you know Chen Feng?"
Wu ngting glanced at him and said, "I know him quite well. I know you had soone investigate him. Did they find out he did anything illegal?"
Hong Guiquan smiled slightly and said, "He hasn’t done anything illegal; in fact, his record is pristine from childhood, with no issues on his credit either. However, he’s quite the philanderer, frequently taking won to hotels. I had soone look into his hotel records, and he went most often with a woman nad Sun Xiaorui, followed by soone nad Xiao Ya, with multiple records, and recently with soone nad Lin Yujiao. There are three confird won, and who knows how many unrecorded ones. Did you know all this too? Don’t think I’m making this up; there’s evidence. If you want to see it, I can show you."
After saying all this, Hong Guiquan wore a smug expression, smiling at Wu ngting.
According to normal logic, upon hearing about Chen Feng’s behavior, Wu ngting should be angry, disgusted, or even furious enough to break off relations with him.
But Wu ngting was different from ordinary girls, and her way of thinking was quite distinct from normal won.
She simply nodded naturally and said, "I know all about it. He didn’t try to hide it from ."
Her words instantly changed the color of the four elders’ faces.
Mr. and Mrs. Wu were pained in their hearts. Mrs. Wu angrily scolded, "Little Ting, are you out of your mind? If you know he’s so undeserving, why do you still want to date him?"
Mr. Wu was so furious that he banged the sofa with his fist, shouting, "Are you stubborn or what? What are you thinking? No matter how outstanding and wealthy he is, is he worth this kind of tolerance? With your qualities, what kind of man can’t you find?"
The aunt didn’t scold but rather frowned and sighed, "Little Ting, you at least graduated from East Sea University, a renowned school in the country. Your intelligence can’t be lacking, right? If you think about this with normal logic, do you think a philandering man like Chen Feng is worth indulging, and you want to be his girlfriend?"
Hong Guiquan shook his head in disappointnt and said with an angry look, "Little Ting, you’ve really let us down. With your remarkable status, what kind of man can’t you find? Even if Little Ming doesn’t appeal to you, there’s no reason to settle for soone like Chen Feng, who’s philandering and has a terminal illness. We as your elders can help you find a large group of n far superior to him."
Wu ngting wasn’t angry, but her face fell slightly. After they all finished speaking, she spoke up, "I know you care about a lot. But when it cos to matters of the heart, they’re extrely personal. Even with my own parents, I prefer you not to interfere. In any case, I will protect myself well and won’t do anything that goes against my conscience. Thank you for your concern."
After saying this, Wu ngting stood up and quickly went upstairs.
"This child! This child! Alas!" Mrs. Wu, feeling exhausted, shook her head and sighed helplessly.
Wu ngting had always been very independent and stubborn since she was a child, sothing a mother like her naturally knew very well.
Mr. Wu was also exhausted and sighed, "An unfortunate family. Raising this daughter seems in vain, so single-minded from childhood, unwilling to listen."
The aunt consoled, "We all need to keep encouraging her slowly, and she might listen a little."
Hong Guiquan analyzed calmly, saying, "Little Ting’s personality is like this, very stubborn. It seems we’ve all underestimated Chen Feng’s place in her heart. She can actually tolerate him being such a philanderer, which none of us expected. It seems that to solve this issue, we need to focus on Chen Feng."
Mrs. Wu hastily asked, "What should we do? Should we reach out to him privately on our side and persuade him to break it off with Little Ting?"
Hong Guiquan didn’t beat around the bush, directly saying, "If you want him to willingly sever ties with Little Ting, he definitely won’t agree. We must have sothing to hold against him."
Mr. Wu asked with concern, "Did we find any leverage on him this ti?"
Hong Guiquan shook his head slightly and said, "He’s very clean, with no illegal activities whatsoever. To be honest, if it weren’t for his terminal illness, I wouldn’t actually oppose him dating Little Ting. But with this illness and his philandering ways, continuing with him will only harm Little Ting."
Mr. Wu frowned and asked, "So how do you suggest we persuade Chen Feng to break up with my daughter?"
Hong Guiquan confidently said, "He himself has the terminal illness and is quite well-off, so there’s nothing to fault about him. But his family is a different story. His brother owns a car detailing shop, and his mother runs a small store. We can target these two relatives, perhaps by having soone investigate their taxes or finding other excuses to shut down their shops. Then, we can contact him directly; that would be easy."
Mrs. Wu responded uneasily, "Isn’t that a bit too much? No matter what, his family shouldn’t be implicated. Besides, he already has a terminal illness; dealing with him like this just feels... immoral."
Hong Guiquan looked at her and said blandly, "It’s sothing that can’t be helped. We’re doing this for Little Ting’s own good. He’s a womanizer with a terminal illness, and if this carries on, Little Ting will be deceived into bed by him..."
Mr. Wu frowned, interrupting to say, "I think we should first talk to him properly. If he can be persuaded to break up with Little Ting on his own, there’s no need to resort to such threats."
