Chen Feng said he would go after lunch. Guo ngyao couldn't insist, so she just asked him to try to get to her place before 1 PM, and Chen Feng agreed.
During lunch, probably because mom notified everyone, the family gathered again.
The whole family was lively, especially the two little nieces, Little Yu and Little Xue. Since their mom, Li Guihong, wasn't particularly strict with them, they were very active during the al, pestering Chen Feng with questions.
Chen Feng patiently chatted with them, knowing that after this eting, it would be at least two or three months before they saw each other again.
The al lasted about an hour.
As departure was imminent, the family didn't say anything sentintal, except Zhao Xiaolan advised Chen Feng to get along well with Wu ngting and try to settle their wedding plans by the National Day holiday.
Chen Feng could only respond with "we'll see" and "let's look into it then," brushing it off ambiguously.
Then, mom and dad started stuffing things into his car, including quite a lot of sweet potatoes, potatoes, and mustard greens from their garden, as well as so dried seafood.
Chen Feng couldn't refuse, and it wasn't until they had almost filled the large trunk that they stopped.
"I'm leaving. I'll call you when I arrive. Contact if anything cos up."
Sitting in the driver's seat, Chen Feng lowered the car window and said this to mom and dad, then waved his hand and started the car, driving off.
Seeing mom and dad standing there motionless in the rear-view mirror, he felt a twinge of sadness but quickly suppressed it.
Of course, he cared a lot about his parents and wanted to be filial to them, but at thirty years old, there was clearly a generational gap between him and his parents. Their thoughts and ideas were completely out of sync. Plus, being divorced and single, he was often nagged by them when together, while in Xiu Zhou, he could live freely.
So, leaving his parents' life was necessary.
Having already agreed with Guo ngyao, he didn't imdiately take the highway to Xiu Zhou but went to Guo ngyao's ho first and t Mrs. Guo again.
"Ah Feng, the reason I called you over this ti is that I have sothing to ask of you. I hope you can help ."
When Chen Feng arrived, Mrs. Guo didn't stand on ceremony and directly asked Chen Feng for help.
Could Chen Feng refuse? He could only say, "Auntie, go ahead. If I can help, I certainly will."
"It's about my stepson. The things your friend found out, including those records of hotel stays and transfers, I've shown him, but he just doesn't believe it. As for that woman getting married and divorced last year, he says he knew about it himself, but I don't think he really knew.
Anyway, my stepson is completely infatuated with that woman. His intelligence seems to have gone negative. He doesn't care that she's been divorced, nor how many people she's been with. In short, he's determined to keep living with her.
His dad got so angry that his blood pressure rose, and I was exasperated too. But we couldn't persuade that stubborn boy. So, I thought of asking you to help. You've lived in Xiu Zhou for so many years, and you're his future brother-in-law, both being n of similar age. Maybe you can persuade him."
Hearing it was this matter, Chen Feng found it really quite difficult and said with a bitter smile, "You are his elders and family, if he won't listen to you, how can I, an outsider, persuade him?"
"You're not exactly an outsider. ngyao is his sister, and you and ngyao are a couple, you are his future brother-in-law. Moreover, aren't you just in Xiu Zhou? Your friend, the police officer, is also in Xiu Zhou. If necessary, you can ask your police officer friend for help to persuade him together. Or, make that woman leave him directly."
Upon hearing her last words, Chen Feng imdiately understood. Mrs. Guo's main goal was obviously to get him to use Qin Zhen, the police officer, to force the woman away from her stepson.
This matter really is sothing.
However, Chen Feng really couldn't reject this matter. Even if just for the sake of Guo ngyao's face, he couldn't shirk it.
"Alright then. Once I get back to Xiu Zhou, I'll arrange to et him. Then, depending on the situation, I'll think of a way to persuade him."
In the end, Chen Feng agreed rather straightforwardly.
"Great. I knew I didn't see you wrong. If you can handle this, both his dad and I will be very grateful to you. If there's anything you need assistance with, just let us know then."
"Alright. Later, let ngyao give your stepson's contact information. Also, you should tell your stepson in advance, otherwise when I contact him, he might not et ."
"Of course. I'll have ngyao give you her brother's contact information in a mont."
"Then there's no problem. I'll set off back to Xiu Zhou now, and I'll arrange to et him as early as tomorrow. By the way, auntie, just say I'm his future brother-in-law who happens to be in Xiu Zhou and wants to et him and get to know each other. Don't ntion that I've co to persuade him to divorce or anything like that."
Mrs. Guo quickly nodded, "Right, right. If you hadn't said, I would have almost directly told him you were coming to persuade him."
Guo ngyao spoke up, "Are you leaving now? Wouldn't you rest for a while before going?"
Guo ngyao's gaze was sowhat reluctant, which was only natural.
"There are still so things waiting for to handle back in Xiu Zhou. Besides, there's nothing much for to do staying here in my hotown."
Guo ngyao pursed her lips and didn't say more.
Mrs. Guo said, "Living apart like this isn't an ideal situation. Ah Feng, I still think if you have the chance, you should co back to develop your career and help ngyao. Managing such a big company is not easy for a woman."
Chen Feng quickly said, "Auntie, you're underestimating ngyao. She is a true strong woman, with extraordinary business talent. Moreover, she has ford her own managent team with many capable subordinates, and doesn't need my help at all."
"Can those people under her compare to you? You are her man."
Mrs. Guo was very straightforward, causing Chen Feng and Guo ngyao to feel a bit embarrassed.
"Mom, we know our own situation; don't go talking randomly."
Guo ngyao chided her mother, then turned to Chen Feng and said, "In a few days, I might visit Xiu Zhou. I'll contact you then."
"Okay, I'll be waiting for you," Chen Feng nodded.
"Alright, you should go. I'll see you off."
Guo ngyao was straightforward, and Chen Feng didn't dawdle, getting up and heading out the door with her following behind.
Standing at the door, watching Chen Feng's car drive away, Mrs. Guo suddenly said, "ngyao, are you really okay with letting him stay in that dazzling world of Xiu Zhou all the ti?"
"What can I do even if I'm not okay?" Guo ngyao said with a sowhat downcast tone.
"Alas! It seems you'll have a hard ti securing his heart. You are excellent, but unfortunately, you've been married and had a child. But Ah Feng is also excellent. More importantly, he's a man. Wealthy n grow more attractive with age, while for won, it's the opposite."
Without listening further to her mother's nagging, when she couldn't see Chen Feng's car anymore, Guo ngyao turned and went back inside.
