Chapter 595: Chapter 328: Ten Million a Year
People are very pragmatic, and being sentimental isn’t often a compliment.
Panda cigarettes have great appeal to smokers, especially the kind Chen Feng gifted, which is rare to find in the market. Even money can’t necessarily buy it, making it even more tempting for someone like Mr. Wu, who’s an old smoker.
Therefore, Mr. Wu finds it really hard to refuse such a gift from Chen Feng. Moreover, is there any reason he should refuse?
This kid Chen Feng has lured his precious daughter, and now they’re living together. Why shouldn’t he accept a pack of cigarettes from him?
Thus, he accepted the Panda cigarettes with a clear conscience.
Having received gifts, he felt it would be rude to keep a stern face all the time, so his expression became a bit more gentle.
Afterward, Chen Feng naturally invited them to lunch. It was already past twelve noon, past the dining time, and they had traveled a long way by plane, so they hadn’t eaten yet.
The couple wasn’t particularly polite about it, and they went straight to the dining area with their daughter to eat.
At the same time, they comfortably sat down at the dining table, waiting for their daughter and Chen Feng to serve them food.
"What’s their attitude now? Are they still against us?"
In the kitchen, Chen Feng couldn’t help but ask quietly.
"It seems you’re quite concerned," Wu Mengting said with a faint smile.
Chen Feng also smiled softly, "Of course."
Wu Mengting nodded in satisfaction and said, "Their attitude isn’t as tough as before, it’s somewhat relaxed. Let’s keep pushing forward."
Hearing this, Chen Feng’s expression also relaxed a bit.
Currently, Wu Mengting is young, beautiful, knowledgeable, and reasonable, making her the first choice as his wife.
Of course, he wants to gain her parents’ approval.
From the beginning, Mr. and Mrs. Wu’s stance was clear opposition, starting with the fact that Chen Feng was divorced and didn’t have much money, and later on finding out he had a terminal illness, making them even more against it.
But their precious daughter was too stubborn. Once she made up her mind, nothing could stop her. Despite their objections, she insisted on being with Chen Feng and now they’re even living together.
They had previously said all they needed to say to their daughter and tried all sorts of persuasion, but of course, it was all in vain.
Until recently, Chen Feng started a film and television company that brought out a blockbuster drama, which their daughter said would bring at least a billion in revenue to the company. Only then did they suddenly realize that Chen Feng, this rural guy from Lin Nan County, was quite wealthy. Afterward, they asked their daughter in detail about Chen Feng’s current financial situation.
Wu Mengting didn’t hide anything from them either. Previously, she didn’t take the initiative to tell them, thinking it was unnecessary, but now that they were inquiring, she certainly had to inform them and it also added points for Chen Feng.
Thus, they were somewhat shocked. Not only does Chen Feng own three villas, an office building, and a store in Xiu Zhou, he also solely started Fengmang Film and Television Company and invested in two other companies, both of which have promising growth prospects and are worth billions.
The visible wealth Chen Feng possesses, which she is aware of, reaches at least two billion, not counting what she doesn’t know.
Mr. and Mrs. Wu were extremely shocked to learn of this.
Although there are many wealthy individuals in Xiu Zhou and Lu City, and they know a few with assets worth billions, they aren’t particularly close to them.
But Chen Feng is dating their daughter, which is a special connection to their family. He could potentially be the future son-in-law.
Before, they only knew Chen Feng had a terminal illness and didn’t pay much attention to other aspects, such as his financial status. After all, their daughter is so outstanding, how could she date someone who is near death?
But their efforts to persuade their daughter to "break up" with Chen Feng failed, and they were surprised to find out that Chen Feng is actually wealthy and doesn’t have children.
Though the couple isn’t greedy, after analyzing the current situation of Chen Feng, it’s inevitable to have some thoughts they wouldn’t have had originally.
However, the main issue is that their daughter is fixated and determined on Chen Feng. They have no choice but to think carefully about their daughter’s future and alternatives.
Sister Xue’s cooking skills are pretty good, and Mr. and Mrs. Wu were quite satisfied with the meal.
After the meal, Wu Mengting and her mother cleaned the dishes and went to the kitchen to wash them together.
Meanwhile, Chen Feng and Mr. Wu sat back in the living room.
Chen Feng took the initiative to turn on the TV, casually tuned to a channel broadcasting news, and then started chatting about random topics with Mr. Wu.
First, they discussed some major national and international events, then some news from Xiu Zhou and Lu City. After this warm-up, Mr. Wu suddenly got straight to the point and said, "Little Chen, it’s just you and me now. I’m a straightforward person, especially when it comes to my daughter’s lifelong happiness, I can’t hold back with you. We’re already aware of your health condition. Don’t blame me for being harsh, but with your situation, normal parents wouldn’t want their daughter to date someone like you, wouldn’t you agree?"
The comment was quite blunt, but Chen Feng couldn’t deny its truth.
So, Chen Feng calmly nodded, "Yes, I understand how you feel."
"That’s good. Let me ask you, if one day you unfortunately pass away, what plans do you have for my daughter? Have you made any arrangements for her future? What are they?"
The question is even harsher, and Chen Feng felt quite annoyed, thinking: I’m still alive right in front of you, and you’re already planning for after I die.
Chen Feng could only comfort himself: On earth, nothing is more important than a parent’s love for their child. Though his words are harsh, it’s for his daughter’s sake.
"Don’t worry about this. Even if I unfortunately pass away early, I will surely not let Mengting down."
"What specific arrangements have you made? Have you made a will? Is Mengting one of the beneficiaries?"
Mr. Wu was very direct and unrelenting, staring sharply at him with a serious expression.
Chen Feng silently took a deep breath to suppress his urge to curse, and said with a slight shake of his head, "I did make a will last year, but at that time, Mengting and I were just friends. So, she isn’t a beneficiary yet."
Mr. Wu frowned immediately and said, "If you really care for my daughter, you should include her in your will sooner."
Chen Feng thought: I’m not that foolish yet. Your daughter hasn’t even slept with me, let alone truly being my lover, why should I include her?
But explaining the situation with Wu Mengting isn’t easy, especially since they do have a "cohabitation relationship," and Chen Feng was half forced to agree to a half-year term with her previously.
"I’ll consider it," Chen Feng could only reply this way.
Mr. Wu wasn’t satisfied with his answer, frowning and speaking more sternly, "You’re living with my daughter now, and she is devoted to you. Isn’t she qualified to be one of your inheritance beneficiaries?"
