After my divorce, I started to have good luck-Chapter 1002 - 532: Negotiations Between Both Sides (Part 2)
Besides, the matter of Hong Xiaodan’s pregnancy truly isn’t Chen Feng’s responsibility. If their Hong family acts unreasonably, Chen Feng certainly won’t take the blame.
Chen Feng didn’t oppose; he immediately grabbed a bag, packed two simple sets of clothes, along with toiletries, and came out of the bedroom.
In the living room, Sun and Wu were still watching TV, so Chen Feng told them he’d be going to Tianzhou with his aunt, and then hurriedly left.
After waiting at e06 for more than ten minutes, Chen Xiaoxia returned with the car, and after another fifteen minutes of her packing, they set off for Tianzhou.
Chen Feng drove while Chen Xiaoxia sat in the passenger seat.
On the way, Chen Xiaoxia didn’t chat much with Chen Feng, mainly because Chen Feng didn’t feel like talking, and Chen Xiaoxia respected his feelings.
Actually, this matter was essentially settled; Chen Feng couldn’t possibly marry Hong Xiaodan, and that’s a key point.
The reason for the visit to meet with Hong Xiaodan’s parents was mainly to respect their elder status and not to put Chen Xiaoxia and Fang Ruiming’s couple in a tough spot.
After a three-hour drive, they reached Tianzhou about four in the afternoon.
At this time, Zhao Xiaolan and Chen Dayong were already at Chen Xiaoxia’s house, talking to his grandmother. They had hired a private car and arrived in about two hours.
Seeing his mom and dad, Chen Feng felt somewhat guilty, but seeing they had no intention of scolding him, he relaxed.
"Ah Feng, you mean you’re determined not to marry that Hong Xiaodan, right?"
The family skipped formalities; before Chen Feng even sat down, Zhao Xiaolan directly asked.
They didn’t avoid his grandmother; there was no need to hide this from her.
"Yes." Chen Feng nodded.
Zhao Xiaolan sighed, "Then be ready to be scolded by them."
His grandmother couldn’t help but sigh, "Ah Feng, that Hong girl is really pretty, and she’s their only daughter, and they’re wealthy. You really don’t fancy her?"
Chen Feng shook his head firmly, "Not interested. It’s impossible for me to marry her; there’s nothing more to say on that. We can discuss other matters with them."
Hearing this, Zhao Xiaolan could only sigh, "We have no other choice."
The family felt heavy-hearted about the matter until Chen Feng’s uncle, Fang Ruiming, returned from work.
At this point, he was aware of Hong Xiaodan’s situation and apologized to Zhao Xiaolan.
In the past, Uncle Fang Ruiming wasn’t this polite. Mainly, it’s because Chen Feng, now his nephew, achieved success, with a good career in Xiu Zhou, making him pay attention and not treat them as poor relatives from the countryside.
After dinner, everyone sat in the living room, discussing the Hong Xiaodan issue.
Chen Xiaoxia had already informed Fang Ruiming in advance, so he didn’t persuade Chen Feng to marry Hong Xiaodan but talked a bit about the Hong family.
Hong Xiaodan’s father, Hong Qilei, in his fifties, was among the first generation of mold developers in Tianzhou. He later started his own mold company, which did exceedingly well, amassing over a billion in wealth in just over a decade, with his company’s market value now at least three to four billion.
Hong Qilei is generous, speaks loudly, loves to drink, and as someone from a technical background, he’s regarded as a scholar among his peers.
Hong Xiaodan’s mother was an accountant when she was young, later helping out at Hong Qilei’s company, and eventually became a full-time housewife, known for being composed and managing the household well.
After chatting for over an hour, they still couldn’t find a way to resolve the matter amicably, deciding to handle whatever came after meeting with the other party the next day.
After breakfast at around seven the next morning, except for Chen Feng’s grandmother, the rest went together to visit the Hong family.
The previous night, Chen Xiaoxia had already informed Hong Xiaodan’s mother.
This wasn’t Chen Feng’s first visit to the Hong family; the last time was for a matchmaking meeting, but this time it was for negotiation.
The two cars entered the Hong family’s gate, and as they got out, Hong Qilei and his wife were standing on the porch steps waiting.
Hong Qilei wasn’t tall, at most about one meter seventy, with a square face, broad shoulders, slightly dark skin, wearing glasses, and a bit overweight.
The moment Chen Feng got out of the car, he stared at him, looking relatively calm.
After the four elders greeted the couple, they entered the living room, but there was no sign of Hong Xiaodan.
After some brief exchanges, Mrs. Hong personally poured them tea, but before they could drink, Hong Qilei loudly said, "Let’s not say any polite words. The issue is the issue. I just want to know when you plan to let the two kids get engaged and married?"
The four elders looked at each other, and then Zhao Xiaolan said, "I think you know the ins and outs of this. My son is truly innocent. To be blunt, my son bears no responsibility in this..."
Hong Qilei immediately interrupted loudly, "The child already exists, how can you say there’s no responsibility? What are you talking about?"
Chen Feng frowned and said, "Hong Xiaodan must have told you how she got pregnant, right? She drugged me and then took advantage. I didn’t call the police to arrest her, which was already quite lenient, and now you want me to marry her? Is that how you parent?"
Chen Feng spoke too bluntly, causing the elders present to freeze and feel awkward, while Hong Qilei and his wife turned red.
"I don’t care how you and my daughter conceived. What’s certain is that she’s pregnant, and you must take responsibility."
Hong Qilei’s words sounded unreasonable and domineering.
Zhao Xiaolan got angry immediately, "With that attitude, there’s no point in continuing this conversation."
With that, Zhao Xiaolan stood up to leave.
Chen Xiaoxia quickly held her back, playing the peacemaker, "Sister-in-law, don’t leave yet. Let’s talk some more."
Then she turned to the Hong couple, "Little Dan’s pregnancy, my nephew is indeed quite innocent. You now want to force him to marry Little Dan, which isn’t wrong, parents must think of their children’s future. But the problem now is, my nephew already has a girlfriend, and they love each other deeply. My sister-in-law also likes the girl, and they planned to get engaged at the end of the year and marry next year.
If you’re set on intervening and breaking the couple apart, my sister-in-law won’t agree. Also, a forced relationship isn’t sweet; even if you force my nephew to marry Little Dan now, do you think she’ll be happy from now on? Can they last long like this? Wouldn’t you agree?"
