Chapter 143 Father-in-law Requests to See You
After leaving the billiard hall, the streets were a bit cold on the winter night.

Jiang Feng took out the cigarette stuck in his ear and put it into Tang Wenjun’s cigarette box.

His classmate just forced him to send it.

Jiang Feng can smoke, but he doesn’t like it very much. However, it would be awkward to refuse, as others would say that he looks down on him, so he had to accept it.

Jiang Feng stuffed the cigarette box into Tang Wenjun’s pocket and asked:

“If you make money, it’s best to keep it in your pocket. Don’t show off your wealth, you know?”

“is it so serious?”

Tang Wenjun scratched his head.

It doesn’t seem like this is a serious matter.

“You can pretend to be rich, but you can’t let others know how much money you have. Otherwise, when your aunts, uncles, cousins, and cousins ask you to borrow money, you’ll feel uncomfortable…”

What Jiang Feng said were all painful experiences he had personally experienced.

You buy luxury cars, live in a villa, and wear branded clothes. This is called “Schrödinger’s wealth.” Once someone asks you to borrow money, it means you just don’t have it in your pocket.

But once you expose your annual income and savings, you’re doomed.

Back then, when he had just made his fortune, he was young and full of energy. He drank too much at the table and accidentally talked too much.

As a result, a lot of relatives came to him to borrow money.

He borrowed all kinds of money, big or small, and even asked him for money to get his little cousin circumcision.

Tang Wenjun didn’t know whether he understood or not, but before leaving, he made an appointment with Jiang Feng to go out and set off fireworks on New Year’s Eve.

……

the next day.

After lunch, Jiang Feng cleaned up and went out.

Today he and Chen Jingyu made an appointment to go out and play.

As a result, when he was going out, Jiang Feng found that his Nokia was broken, so he took out the pager he used before from the desk.

In the square, big red lanterns are hung high, and there are all kinds of stalls selling fireworks, lottery tickets, and various New Year’s gadgets.

Chen Jingyu is rarely late…

Jiang Feng stood on the side of the road, checking the time on his cell phone: January 2009, 1, 20:13. The flickering pixel numbers on the screen made him feel dazed.

The corner record store was playing “Marshmallow,” a very popular single at the moment.

Jiang Feng was looking down and thinking about something when a pair of light yellow snow boots came into his sight.

Look up.

It was the little rich woman with the face and scarf, wrapped up like a rag doll.

“Why did you come just now? I’ve been waiting for you for a long time.”

Jiang Feng immediately revealed a brilliant smile, and his words did not contain any blaming tone.

Chen Jingyu didn’t say anything, but silently put her little hand into Jiang Feng’s hand.

“let’s go.”

“Shall we go to the movies first?”

“Okay.”

So, Jiang Feng took Chen Jingyu’s hand and went to a nearby cinema.

“Two copies of ‘Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf: The Bull’s Courage’.”

Jiang Feng took a photo of his student ID at the ticket window.

The plastic cover of the certificate was still stained with chili oil from the cafeteria last semester.

Chen Jingyu stood aside, silently counting the change coins, and the two lop-eared rabbits on her woolen gloves swayed with her movements.

Originally, Jiang Feng wanted to watch “The Siege of the City in October”, but Chen Jingyu insisted on watching cartoons. Considering that he had not watched “Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf: The Ox” yet, he simply accommodated Chen Jingyu.

The heating in the screening room made people drowsy. When the green grassland appeared on the screen, Chen Jingyu took out an iron box from the small bag she carried with her.

“This is delicious.”

She solemnly opened the lid, revealing a few pieces of date paste cakes inside.

Jiang Feng took a look and didn’t do anything, just opened his mouth.

Chen Jingyu understood and picked up a piece and fed it to Jiang Feng.

“Yeah, it’s a little sweet.”

This is Jiang Feng’s evaluation of the snacks shared by the rich lady.

So, the rich lady kindly gave him a cup of Coke.

Jiang Feng took a sip of Coke and burped slightly.

It feels so good to be served by someone.

Who says a young rich woman is a spoiled daughter? If you really marry her, she will at least be a cute and obedient young wife.

When the movie showed Red Wolf picking up a frying pan and beating Gray Wolf, Chen Jingyu suddenly pulled Jiang Feng’s sleeve, leaned close to his ear, and whispered:

“Why is Gray Wolf never angry?”

The creamy aroma of popcorn mixed with the scent of bee and flower conditioner in her hair came over, and Jiang Feng found that there was date paste stuffing stuck on her right cheek.

“Maybe it’s because his wife is so beautiful that he spoils her.”

Jiang Feng wiped the debris off her face with his thumb.

Chen Jingyu asked again: “Am I beautiful?”

“so so.”

Jiang Feng had a smug smile on his face.

It’s like after you succeed in doing something bad, you can pretend a little.

then.

He stretched out his hand and motioned Chen Jingyu to come closer to his arms.

Chen Jingyu was naturally unhappy when she got this answer. She turned her head away and acted as if she didn’t want to pay attention to Jiang Feng.

But Jiang Feng smiled slightly, moved closer, and flicked her earlobe with gentle words:

“My fishing treasure is the most beautiful in the world.”

Chen Jingyu snorted.

Only then did she reluctantly lie down in Jiang Feng’s arms.

In this way, the two of them snuggled together, feeding each other popcorn mouthful by mouthful, until they finished watching the entire movie.

After watching the movie.

There happened to be a new video game arcade opened next to the cinema, so Jiang Feng took Chen Jingyu in to play.

The neon sign of the arcade was very cool. Chen Jingyu stood in front of the dance machine, clenching the game coins, and seemed a little hesitant.

Jiang Feng came over with a basket of exchanged game coins and was about to ask Chen Jingyu if she wanted to play the dance machine, but she suddenly walked away.

Jiang Feng chased after him, feeling a little strange:
“Didn’t you want to play the dance machine? Why don’t you play it anymore?”

Chen Jingyu shook her head, then lowered her voice and said mysteriously, “Because I just want to dance for you.”

Jiang Feng suddenly remembered what happened not long ago.

His old face couldn’t help but turn red.

Then, the two of them wandered around the game hall, playing all kinds of game machines such as fishing, King of Fighters, shooting, and basketball. When they were about to leave, they found a row of claw machines at the door.

Jiang Feng looked at the few remaining game coins and pulled Chen Jingyu towards the claw machine:
“Come on, I’ll take you to grab a doll.”

No girl can resist the temptation of a claw machine.

“I want that Shiba Inu.”

The tip of the rich young woman’s nose gently touched the glass of the claw machine, and the white mist she exhaled vaguely covered the Shiba Inu doll wearing overalls.

Jiang Feng changed several angles to check the position of the doll.

Finally, insert the coin and start adjusting the angle with the grappling hook.

Lowering the mechanical claw for the first time.

Unfortunately it failed.

This type of claw machine has weak hooks and strong hooks, and merchants can adjust the data directly in the background.

Of course, for some novices, the powerful hook is not always effective.

“It’s just a matter of probability.” Jiang Feng explained.

Keep inserting coins.

But just like before, the mechanical claw grabbed the doll, dangled it in the air for a moment, and then let go.

But this time, the Shiba Inu doll fell near the exit.

Jiang Feng inserted the coin for the third time and caught a pink panther with his mechanical claws.

Chen Jingyu blinked her beautiful eyes and looked at Jiang Feng in confusion: “Jiang Feng, I want a Shiba Inu, not a Pink Panther.”

“We’ll see.”

Jiang Feng seemed to have his own plans. Chen Jingyu then turned her gaze back to the claw machine.

Just like before, the mechanical claw grabbed the Pink Panther, shook it for a moment, and then let go.

An amazing scene appeared.

When the Pink Panther fell, it hit the Shiba Inu at the exit.

The two dolls collided with each other and fell into the hole together due to inertia.

“Wow, Jiang Feng, you are so awesome!”

Chen Jingyu quickly took out two dolls from the shipping port, excited and happy.

“I’ve already told you, I’m an expert.”

Jiang Feng pretended to be calm, as if this was expected, and did not show any surprise or happiness.

In fact, he was just a blind cat catching a dead mouse.

Chen Jingyu believed it, nodded her head, stood on tiptoe, and pointed at the inside of the claw machine:
“Yeah, well, I also have this robot cat.”

“what?”

Two people came out of the game room.

It’s already five o’clock in the afternoon.

Jiang Feng asked the front desk of the game hall for a big bag containing three dolls.

Just this last Doraemon cost him an extra thirty game coins.

If you go to the market, you can just buy two or three.

But the rich lady was very happy, and it was worth thinking this way.

Jiang Feng originally planned to take Chen Jingyu out for dinner, but Chen Jingyu said that there were going to be guests at home tonight and her father wanted her to go back for dinner.

Jiang Feng had no choice but to accompany her for a while.

As dusk drifted across the old street, the copper spoons of the sugar painting stalls were pouring out the outline of a phoenix. The tricycles on the roadside were roasting sweet potatoes, and the air was filled with a sweet smell.

“Jiang Feng, I want to eat roasted sweet potatoes.” Chen Jingyu stared at the roasted sweet potato stall and suddenly couldn’t walk anymore.

Jiang Feng teased, “You have to go back to eat later. If you eat roasted sweet potatoes now, will you be able to eat more later?”

The little rich woman raised one finger and said very cutely, “Then I’ll only eat one bite, and you can eat the rest.”

Jiang Feng felt a little ashamed.

“You treat me like a trash can, don’t you?”

He complained, but then walked straight to the roasted sweet potato and asked the boss for a smaller one.

Soon.

Chen Jingyu ate the hot, freshly baked sweet potatoes.

“It’s delicious, but not as good as the one you bought me in Handu.”

Jiang Feng remembered that the last time he returned to school after get off work, he queued up in the middle of winter to bring a sweet potato to Chen Jingyu.

“Maybe the materials are different.”

Jiang Feng vaguely remembered that the roasted sweet potato stall also used cypress branches to add a smoky flavor.

Chen Jingyu only took two bites and then handed the sweet potato to Jiang Feng.

Jiang Feng was eating roasted sweet potatoes.

suddenly.

The pager in my pocket is ringing.

He didn’t have time to answer the phone.

Chen Jingyu stuffed her cold hands into the pockets of his down jacket, her cell phone vibrating deep within the fabric. She said seriously, “Jiang Feng, are you free on the second day of the Lunar New Year?”

“If it’s about playing with you, then I’m free.”

“My dad said he wants to invite you to his house for dinner on the second day of the New Year.”

Jiang Feng was suddenly stunned, and it was not until the roasted sweet potato made his fingertips numb that he came to his senses.

what?
He was so shocked that he had an incredible expression.

“Jiang Feng…”

Fine snow fell on Chen Jingyu’s eyelashes. Her cashmere scarf slipped off, revealing her snow-white collarbone. She smiled faintly, “Besides your phone, you can hear your heartbeat in your pocket.”

The rich young woman smiled and took out the pager from Jiang Feng’s pocket.

The caller is shown above: Ms. Shen.

Jiang Feng quickly picked up the phone.

“Where have you been? When will you be back for dinner?”

“Yeah, I’m playing outside with my classmates. I’ll be back soon.”

Jiang Feng hung up the phone quickly.

Then he looked at the rich young woman who looked as if nothing had happened in disbelief.

It’s no wonder that he reacted so strongly just now. After all, no matter who it is, it will be the same if they are asked to meet their future father-in-law.

Especially Chen Jingyu’s father.

Although Jiang Feng had anticipated this day, he was not yet ready, and he did not expect it to come so soon.

So I panicked.

Chen Jingyu said, “If it’s not convenient for you, forget it. I’ll just go back and tell Dad.”

Jiang Feng shook his head and clenched Chen Jingyu’s hand: “It’s convenient. I’ll come when the time comes.”

Upon hearing this, Chen Jingyu immediately smiled sweetly.

“Okay.”

Just like before, Jiang Feng sent Chen Jingyu to the roadside, waited for a Rolls-Royce to drive by, picked her up, and then left.

Wait until Chen Jingyu left.

Jiang Feng’s disguise of calmness was instantly removed. He took a few deep breaths and adjusted his thoughts.

It would be impossible to say that Chen’s father didn’t notice him.

After all, Chen Tiankuo had said before that his father had actually been observing him secretly.

Jiang Feng didn’t take it seriously at the time.

But now, he had to care about what the other party thought.

Jiang Feng suddenly remembered that he had taken Chen Jingyu to watch “Romeo and Juliet”. When asked how a couple in love could avoid family opposition, the person next to him said very easily that they could elope.

But after the movie became reality, Jiang Feng believed that as a mature and responsible person, he should not allow such a tragedy to happen.

and so.

After the last conversation with Chen Tiankuo.

He worked even harder, hoping to achieve results as soon as possible.

Because he had to keep his promise with that little fool and stay with her forever.

But Jiang Feng didn’t expect it.

This day will come so quickly.

So hasty.

So much so that he was not prepared for anything.

Jiang Feng, who has always been mature and steady, was rarely upset this time.

I originally planned to buy a mobile phone before going home, after all, this pager is really difficult to use.

But Jiang Feng didn’t care at all and went straight home.

After a quick dinner, he went into the room.

He called Tang Wenjun and told him about this.

“What! Chen Jingyu’s father wants to see you?”

Tang Wenjun was obviously shocked.

He was surprised for a long time on the phone.

“Then what are you afraid of? After all, you are now a young millionaire with an annual income of tens of millions.”

“You haven’t met Chen Tiankuo’s partner? Do you think a mere annual income of 10 million is enough for the Chen family’s children to choose a spouse?”

Tang Wenjun fell silent.

Because this was beyond his understanding.

But he could feel Jiang Feng’s anxiety.

It was the first time he saw Jiang Feng like this.

After a long silence, he suddenly asked, “Old Jiang, let me ask you something. What would you do if Chen Jingyu’s father didn’t agree with you being together?”

Jiang Feng lay on the bed, ruffling his hair, looking visibly annoyed:
“I don’t know. We’ll just have to take it one step at a time.”
