Chapter 597: Chapter 329 People Are Very Realistic
Chen Feng was put under pressure by him, and he was somewhat angry at the moment.
The reason he just said he was willing to give Wu Mengting ten million a year was mainly to show that he wouldn’t treat his daughter badly.
And he really did want to give it, but that had to be after he and Wu Mengting officially confirmed their romantic relationship. To put it bluntly, it would be after he and Wu Mengting had had a substantial sexual relationship that he might give her ten million a year, until they got married or he passed away unexpectedly.
Otherwise, given the current relationship between the two of them, although Chen Feng really liked her, they hadn’t had a substantial relationship yet, and Chen Feng certainly wouldn’t foolishly give her ten million. Money shouldn’t be burned like that.
This is one aspect, and another aspect is Mr. Wu’s attitude. Chen Feng could understand their parental concern, but Mr. Wu obviously didn’t respect him enough, completely failing to put himself in Chen Feng’s shoes and even entirely treating him as someone on the brink of death, coming off with a business-like bargaining attitude, without a hint of human warmth.
Now Mr. Wu directly demands Chen Feng to give his daughter ten million, which made Chen Feng feel coerced and insulted.
With anger simmering in his heart, his words became unkind.
"I can take out ten million anytime, but I don’t want to give it to Mengting under these circumstances. This is an insult to her and a disrespect to me. She initially liked me for who I am, not because I have money. When we first met, I didn’t have as much money as I do now. She didn’t know I had money. So, giving her such a large sum of money now would be a profanity against the feelings between us.
I understand your feelings as a father, but I won’t give money to prove myself in this situation. Ultimately, even though you’re her biological father, the relationship between me and her is between us. If you interfere too much, it will only make the two of us resentful."
These words made Mr. Wu’s face go pale then red, evidently angry, but he also knew his daughter’s temperament. If he really fell out with Chen Feng, his precious daughter might not talk to him for half a year.
Moreover, Chen Feng was now truly a wealthy man, and he couldn’t completely ignore that. If he really broke ties with Chen Feng, it would even ruin the relationship between Chen Feng and his daughter.
Chen Feng might not suffer any loss, but his daughter would suffer greatly. Not to mention, when Chen Feng passes away, so much inheritance would have nothing to do with his daughter.
Thus, he couldn’t keep a hard-line attitude all the way.
After weighing the pros and cons in his heart, Mr. Wu sighed and said, "You don’t want to give my daughter the money now, which makes me have no choice but to doubt your credibility. Whether or not you give the money is about your attitude and integrity, whereas whether or not Mengting takes it is about her personal principle. These are two separate issues."
Chen Feng retorted unkindly, "I keep my word, I’ll give her ten million a year, but at the time I find appropriate. As for when it’s appropriate, I think half a year later."
Mr. Wu frowned and asked, "Why half a year later?"
Chen Feng glanced at him and said indifferently, "Because my relationship with your daughter is not a real romantic relationship right now, we’re just living together, but haven’t had a real man-woman relationship."
Chen Feng originally didn’t want to say this, but seeing Mr. Wu behaving arrogantly with an ensnaring attitude, he felt there was no need to hide it and let him keep treating him as a sucker.
Mr. Wu was stunned when he heard this, completely taken by surprise.
Initially, he didn’t believe it, but he felt Chen Feng had no reason to lie about this. Furthermore, his daughter never said she and Chen Feng were already in a romantic relationship. He couldn’t help but believe it seven or eight parts.
But believing in his heart was one thing, while he was still unrelenting, shaking his head with a stern face, saying, "I’m somewhat skeptical about this. You’re two single people living in one house for so long, is it possible that nothing happened? I believe my daughter, but you’re a man. I don’t believe you haven’t been tempted, my daughter is so beautiful. Are you impotent, never moved by her?"
Chen Feng found it difficult to rebuke this. He couldn’t honestly say he had a mistress living with them, right?
Chen Feng could only say, "I have no need to deceive you. If you don’t believe me, you can ask Mengting. She probably won’t lie to you."
Mr. Wu could only return to the original question and said, "From what you said earlier, you plan to officially confirm your relationship with my daughter half a year later?"
Chen Feng spoke frankly, "She and I agreed on a half-year period, after which we’ll truly start our romantic relationship."
Mr. Wu was somewhat displeased, frowning and asking, "Why agree on this? Since you both have feelings for each other and already live together, why bother with this?"
Now he actually hoped his daughter could confirm the relationship with Chen Feng earlier. It was the same old saying, people are realistic beings.
Chen Feng is too wealthy!
"It’s mainly because of me. As you already know, I have cancer, and I don’t want to harm her, so I’ve been hesitant to confirm the relationship. Now my condition is beginning to stabilize, and I’m confident I can survive, but to be cautious, we still need to see specifics over time; half a year is just right.
If my condition continues to be stable or even starts improving after half a year, then we’ll officially confirm the relationship. This is my responsible attitude towards her."
Upon hearing Chen Feng’s explanation, what else could Mr. Wu say? He could only remain silent.
The conversation reached this point, and there was nothing more to say.
Chen Feng picked up his phone, pretended to look at it, and then stood up to say, "I have another engagement outside, so I won’t accompany you any longer. I need to leave now."
Before Mr. Wu could react with his mouth agape, Chen Feng nodded at him and then walked straight towards the door.
As Chen Feng walked out the door and slammed it shut, Mr. Wu realized and couldn’t help but sigh slightly, muttering to himself, "Alas! Such a pity. It would be great without the illness."
Generally, after this contact, mainly due to Chen Feng’s billionaire aura, Mr. Wu was quite satisfied with Chen Feng. If there wasn’t a terminal illness, he would actually be willing to have such a billionaire son-in-law.
"How did your conversation go just now?"
Mrs. Wu hurried over to inquire after seeing Chen Feng leave, followed closely by the concerned Wu Mengting.
"Quite good. Little Chen seems rather decent. But..." Speaking to this point, Mr. Wu looked at his daughter with a slightly stern face and said, "Little Chen just mentioned that you and he aren’t really in a romantic relationship yet and said you have some half-year agreement, is that true?"
Wu Mengting hesitated for a moment and then candidly admitted, "Yes."
