When it comes to housing, everything is easy with money. Jiang Hai paid the full amount by card and took possession of the house immediately. The garage, keys, door cards, and everything else were all ready. Although these people were civil servants working for the government, they didn't make things difficult for Jiang Hai in this regard; the speed was quite fast. On that same day, Jiang Hai had already settled the matters regarding the house.
The next day, Jiang Hai began decorating the entire villa. Actually, there wasn't much that needed decorating, but a large bed was essential, as were wardrobes, kitchen supplies, and televisions. Naturally, it wasn't possible to have just one television; every room had to have one. Even though they were only staying for a few days, Jiang Hai had no intention of suffering. For the internet, Jiang Hai paid for three years directly to save himself the trouble of having to pay every time he returned.
Anyway, it was only a few hundred yuan a month, and he didn't care. Of course, the internet plan Jiang Hai chose was also the fastest one.
After all, there could be up to twenty-four people here. Twenty-four people meant twenty-four phones, not even counting computers, iPads, and the like; combined, there would be at least fifty devices using the Wi-Fi. A normal network wouldn't be able to handle it... The first day was for buying things, the second for installation, the third for hiring cleaners, the fourth for buying quilts, bedsheets, and such, and on the fifth day, he spent the whole day tidying up the house. A week passed just like that. At noon on the fifth day, Jiang Hai received a call. Azalina was already leading Ai Xiaoxi, Feng Yunchen, Daliana, Marian, Wallis Shelley, Relis Carter, Belyak, Valentina, Galina, Aller, Afra, Diana, Hilda, Becky, Xila-Rodney, Auxilia, Bridget, and Janice onto a plane from New York to the Capital.
Originally, Jiang Hai had wanted Tarak to come along as well, but unfortunately, Tarak was a Native American. Living at Jiang Hai's place was fine, but she had no household registration. Without a household registration, she couldn't get a passport. By the time Jiang Hai thought about bringing her back to the country, it was already too late. He estimated that if he returned next year, she might be able to come along.
Qi Xian would help them with customs clearance in the Capital, as well as with their connecting flights. As for Qi Jie and Qi Ya, they didn't want others to know about their relationship with Jiang Hai yet; after all, it would indeed be quite embarrassing if it were spoken aloud.
So they returned to Miami first, and then after a day, they would go to the Capital and return together with Qi Li.
After sleeping in the new house, Jiang Hai received a call from Qi Li the next afternoon, telling him that his harem group had arrived. However, Ai Xiaoxi had taken a flight directly back to her hometown. The other girls would also rest for a bit before flying to Ice City, and she told Jiang Hai to get ready to pick them up at the airport.
Jiang Hai was indeed somewhat embarrassed by Qi Li's mention of a 'harem group,' but it was essentially the truth, so he didn't say anything and tacitly accepted it. Once the girls were on the plane, Jiang Hai called for a Toyota Coaster he had rented a few days ago. If Jiang Hai were buying it, he would definitely not buy a Japanese car.
But he had no choice with a rental. There were a total of nineteen people coming in this wave. Since Ai Xiaoxi had gone back to her hometown, including himself, there were nineteen people. Where was he going to find a nineteen-seat vehicle? So he could only rent this kind of minibus. However, there was a problem.
He couldn't drive such a minibus himself. His driver's license in China was a C-class, which only allowed him to drive vehicles with seven seats or fewer. Therefore, he also had to hire a driver. Fortunately, Jiang Hai paid well and was generous. Since Jiang Hai didn't smoke, he didn't give out cigarettes; instead, he directly gave a hundred US dollars as a tip. Green US dollars, though they couldn't be spent domestically, would be over six hundred yuan once exchanged at a bank. Naturally, the driver was quite happy.
With one call from Jiang Hai, the minibus arrived at the gate of Jiang Hai's residential area in no time. After leaving the complex, Jiang Hai sat in the passenger seat and headed toward the airport. When they arrived at the airport, the plane had not yet landed.
While chatting with the driver, Jiang Hai's phone soon vibrated. Hearing Azalina's voice on the other end, Jiang Hai smiled and immediately went to the waiting hall. He saw the women coming out carrying their things. Although they were only here for the Lunar New Year and might not even stay for half a month, they still brought quite a lot of stuff. Women, that's just how they are!
He led the women to the parking lot. The driver's eyes nearly popped out of his head. He only knew he was coming to pick people up, but he hadn't expected to be picking up such a stream of beautiful foreign girls. Seeing Jiang Hai's closeness with them, the driver uncle couldn't help but smack his lips, thinking that public morals were truly declining by the day.
But once the girls got on the bus, the driver uncle, who had been smoking and telling dirty jokes to Jiang Hai on the way there, seemed like a changed man. With a warm smile on his face, he even proactively got out to help with the luggage.
However, the girls didn't really need him. Because they spent all year at Jiang Hai's manor eating his beef and seafood, these girls might look delicate, but their strength was not small at all. At least, they had no trouble lifting the things they brought. Seeing the girls stow their luggage like 'tomboyish' women, the driver uncle glanced at Jiang Hai. He had been a bit envious of the kid before, but now he wondered if the kid's physical constitution could handle it all.
Everyone had arrived. Du Ning would protect Qi Li and wait for Qi Jie and Qi Ya to arrive before returning tomorrow.
So now, everyone on the minibus was accounted for. The driver uncle stepped on the gas and headed toward the villa area Jiang Hai had bought. Along the way, many of the girls were chattering as they looked at Ice City outside.
Because they were Jiang Hai's daughters, Daliana and Marian had been here several times already, so they were not unfamiliar with Ice City.
Feng Yunchen was even a native of Ice City, so the three of them were the main ones doing the introductions while the others listened.
While introducing and talking, before they knew it, Jiang Hai and the others had arrived at their home.
After arriving home, Jiang Hai told the minibus driver that he would call him again when needed.
He would definitely need him again. After all, Jiang Hai would be taking these girls to see the ice lanterns, the snow sculptures, to play by the river, and to eat authentic'Slaying the Pig' stew and such. Small cars wouldn't be able to fit everyone.
Learning that there would be more work in the future, the driver also seemed very happy. Being able to earn money and have some eye candy at the same time was a good thing.
After the driver left, Jiang Hai returned inside, only to find the house in a state of chaos as soon as he entered.
Because everyone was looking for their own rooms, whereas only Feng Yunchen sat there calmly watching television.
"What? Not going to find your own room? Or are you planning to stay in my room the whole time?" Looking at Feng Yunchen, Jiang Hai smiled, then sat down beside her and, regardless of whether she was willing or not, pulled her directly onto his lap.
"You rogue, now that I'm back, how could I not go home?" Feng Yunchen gave Jiang Hai a look and said reproachfully.
Hearing her words, Jiang Hai was momentarily embarrassed. He had forgotten that Feng Yunchen was also from Ice City.
The two of them were classmates; classmates. It wasn't just Jiang Hai who knew Feng Yunchen; all of Jiang Hai's middle school classmates knew her too.
"Uh, alright then, when are you leaving?" Jiang Hai asked somewhat cautiously as he looked at Feng Yunchen.
"What, are you chasing me away?" Hearing Jiang Hai's words, Feng Yunchen's eyes narrowed, and she spoke with a look of displeasure.
"How would I dare? Just kidding. I'd be happy if you didn't leave." Seeing her expression, Jiang Hai smiled. Over the years, Jiang Hai hadn't actually made much progress in this area, otherwise he wouldn't have said that first sentence. But fortunately, his ability to smooth things over was getting stronger and stronger. Indeed, practice is the only true source of knowledge.
"At least you know how to talk. I'll leave after dinner; remember to drop me off." Looking at Jiang Hai, Feng Yunchen smiled and then wrapped her arms around him. In fact, she was also feeling a bit conflicted in her heart, knowing that she was Jiang Hai's classmate.
On Ai Xiaoxi's side, her parents were constantly urging her and asking when she would get married, let alone her own parents.
But she couldn't be like Ai Xiaoxi and ask Jiang Hai when he would marry her, because she knew she had an 'innate deficiency.' Originally, she had only planned to use Jiang Hai as a way out, but she never imagined she would end up falling for him herself.
But how should she say it now? What should she do? These were all problems, and she could only carry them herself.
Looking at the woman before him, Jiang Hai's sixth sense told him that she had something on her mind. But what it was, Jiang Hai didn't know, nor did he know if he should ask. All he could do was hold her tight and tell her he was by her side... Soon, Jiang Hai and the others prepared dinner in the villa themselves. Afterward, Jiang Hai left with Feng Yunchen. They hailed a taxi and went straight to the bottom of Feng Yunchen's apartment building. They didn't say much along the way, but their hands were tightly clasped. Upon arriving, Jiang Hai and Feng Yunchen got out of the car. As they stepped out, Jiang Hai naturally tucked her hand into his pocket. Feeling Jiang Hai's movement, Feng Yunchen's face flushed slightly, but she didn't struggle or resist. They just walked forward slowly, their shadows constantly lengthening under the streetlights... But as they got closer to her home, Feng Yunchen gently bit her lip, looked up, and stared at Jiang Hai beside her.
To be honest, with her parents on one side and Jiang Hai on the other, she really wanted to leave with Jiang Hai right now, but she found it hard to say. Seeing her gaze, Jiang Hai thought for a moment and suddenly stopped.
"On the third day of the Lunar New Year, I'll pay a visit to your home!" Jiang Hai's stop made Feng Yunchen look at him with some confusion. Meeting her puzzled gaze, Jiang Hai first smiled, then looked into her eyes and spoke seriously. (To be continued.)
Chapter 941: Tian Chou's Fury
"Ah? Oh? Uh... what are you doing?" Hearing Jiang Hai's words, Feng Yunchen was suddenly stunned, looking at Jiang Hai with some confusion. Although she vaguely guessed something, all she could do at this moment was play dumb.
"I need your parents to know who you're with. If you go missing, they need to know who to report to the police, right?" Listening to Feng Yunchen, Jiang Hai smiled and said to her.
"You're plotting murder for money!" Hearing Jiang Hai's words, Feng Yunchen couldn't help but playfully hit Jiang Hai with her other hand, speaking with a hint of a pout. But seeing the corners of her mouth turn up, it was clear she genuinely liked Jiang Hai's suggestion.
There were some things she couldn't say, after all, before she was with Jiang Hai, she wasn't like Ai Xiaoxi and Qi Li.
Before she fell in love with Jiang Hai, she just saw him as an option; if he was there, great, if not, then so be it. But after living with Jiang Hai for a long time, there's a saying, isn't there? Love grows over time. Perhaps after spending enough time together, feelings inevitably develop.
So Feng Yunchen's feelings for Jiang Hai were slowly changing. She didn't want to leave Jiang Hai, whether it was because of him as a person, or because of his money, his home, his beef. She could even accept other people for Jiang Hai's sake.
She might also be the one among them who accepted it most readily. Qi Li, Qi Jie, Qi Ya, and Ai Xiaoxi all went through a psychological struggle, but she was the quickest to accept, because she knew she wasn't in a position to be picky.
So when Jiang Hai met Ai Xiaoxi's parents, Feng Yunchen actually had similar thoughts.
But she couldn't bring it up. Now that Jiang Hai had brought it up, saying she wasn't moved would be a lie. So after hitting Jiang Hai, she actively wrapped her arms around his waist, buried her head in his chest, and rubbed it forcefully.
"Are you serious?" After a while, she looked up, gazing at Jiang Hai, and asked earnestly.
"Of course. Go back and tell your aunt and uncle that I'll be over on the third day of the lunar new year." Stroking Feng Yunchen's hair, Jiang Hai chuckled and said to her. Hearing Jiang Hai's firm words, Feng Yunchen bit her lip and then nodded vigorously.
"Feng Yunchen?" Just as the two had finished their sweet moment and were about to move forward, a voice came from ahead, three parts surprise, three parts emotion, and four parts anger. Jiang Hai and Feng Yunchen looked towards the source of the sound and saw a person almost as tall as Jiang Hai standing there, holding a bouquet of flowers, staring at them in a daze.
"Tian Chou?" Seeing this person, Jiang Hai's eyebrows involuntarily raised. He knew this person. Tian Chou was a middle school classmate of Jiang Hai and Feng Yunchen. Jiang Hai remembered that the day he and Feng Yunchen reunited was at a class reunion, and Tian Chou was there.
At the dinner table, he had showered Feng Yunchen with attention, but in the end, Feng Yunchen left with him.
After that time, Jiang Hai hadn't seen him again, but what was he doing now? "Tian Chou? What are you doing here?" Feng Yunchen also asked with some confusion, looking at the person in front of her. She didn't know why he was there, because, come to think of it, she hadn't seen him since that reunion either.
"You, this guy is married, do you know that?" Seeing the almost identical reactions of the two in front of him, Tian Chou walked a few steps towards them, pointing a trembling finger at Jiang Hai, and said to Feng Yunchen in a deep voice.
Hearing his words, Jiang Hai's brow furrowed. Jiang Hai could hear the anger in his words, but what the hell did that have to do with him!
"I know, I've always been the mistress, don't you know?" Hearing Tian Chou's words, Feng Yunchen proactively stood in front of Jiang Hai, speaking to Tian Chou with an unhappy expression. Hearing her words, Tian Chou couldn't help but choke.
"Yunchen, you know that's not what I mean!" Hearing Feng Yunchen's words, Tian Chou then said somewhat anxiously.
"I don't care what you mean, that's what I mean. What are you doing here?" Waving her hand, Feng Yunchen had no good feelings for Tian Chou, and this had been the case for a long time. Otherwise, with Tian Chou's resources, if she had really been interested in him, the two would have been together long ago, and Jiang Hai wouldn't have gotten such a good deal.
"Uh, cough, I, I heard from your aunt and uncle that you were coming back today, so I've been waiting for you... I, I got a divorce, so..." Hearing Feng Yunchen's words, Tian Chou said with a hesitant expression.
And hearing his words, Jiang Hai's eyebrows raised. What the hell, this guy is looking for death, isn't he? You got a divorce, so you dare to come and poach my girlfriend? Does he not want to live? Thinking of this, Jiang Hai couldn't help but take a step forward, but he was blocked by Feng Yunchen.
"Your divorce has nothing to do with me. All I can say is that I feel sorry for you. What you need to do now is find someone who loves you, because I've already found my own happiness." Feng Yunchen knew that Tian Chou's family held official positions; although not high-ranking, they were in the public security system. His father was a captain. Jiang Hai's influence was all in America. In America, let alone a captain, even a police chief would actively nod and bow to Jiang Hai. But in China, the situation was not so good.
So, in her opinion, it was best for Jiang Hai not to have any conflict with him. If anything happened, she would handle it for Jiang Hai.
"Your happiness? Your happiness is this guy?" Pointing at Jiang Hai, Tian Chou had looked down on Jiang Hai since school. Of course, not just Jiang Hai, he looked down on most people.
Because Jiang Hai was very ordinary, his academic performance wasn't good, he wasn't particularly tall, and his family wasn't rich. Out of over forty classmates, Jiang Hai was always in the thirties in every exam; basically, passing was the best result.
Poor in studies and from a struggling family, so in Tian Chou's eyes, he was a person with no future.
Including Jiang Hai, Fu Yuan, Xiang Hua, and others, he looked down on all of them, but he had been slapped in the face by Jiang Hai twice in love, and he couldn't take it anymore. The one Feng Yunchen found before, he couldn't provoke, but that didn't mean he couldn't provoke Jiang Hai. Looking at Jiang Hai, his eyes were practically spitting fire.
Seeing his appearance, Jiang Hai, however, sneered, then gently put his arm around Feng Yunchen's waist, turned her head, and lightly pecked her lips. Seeing this scene, Tian Chou was stunned, and Feng Yunchen was also a little surprised.
"She's willing, what business is it of yours? Even if she eats coarse food with me, she's willing, what business is it of yours?" Looking at Tian Chou's eyes, which were almost popping out, Jiang Hai said disdainfully. Although Jiang Hai's influence wasn't in China, don't forget, Jiang Hai was now a major shareholder of Qi's, and if calculated by shares, he was the largest shareholder.
This guy's dad was just a small captain in the public security system. He couldn't even contend with a third-rate businessman, let alone himself!
Whether it was bluffing or not, with Qi's, Jiang Hai might not be able to deal with a red second-generation or third-generation, but for ordinary rich second-generations or small official second-generations like him, Jiang Hai was truly confident.
"You bastard!" Seeing Jiang Hai dare to provoke him like this, Tian Chou was almost driven mad. He roared, threw away the flowers in his hand, and lunged at Jiang Hai. But how could Jiang Hai's speed be compared to his?
Seeing him lunge, Jiang Hai delivered a kick straight to his chest. Tian Chou then flew backward like a rolling gourd, tumbling several times on the ground before hitting a nearby snowdrift and stopping, but he ended up covered in dirt.
Because it was winter and everyone was wearing thick clothes, the force of that kick, though considerable, would at most leave a purple bruise on his chest.
But it was enough to temporarily incapacitate him.
"You, you, you dare to hit, hit me..." Covering his chest, feeling the sharp pain there, Tian Chou pointed at Jiang Hai with a horrified expression and said, "Jiang Hai looks to be about the same height as me, but he couldn't understand where Jiang Hai got such strength?"
"So what if I hit you? If you dare to act up again, I'll ruin your family! When picking a fight, it's best to know your opponent's situation first. My wife is the chairman of Qi's, and I am the largest shareholder of Qi's. Do you understand what Qi's means? If not, go back and ask your dad! If I see you here again, I'll show you why the flowers are so red." Looking at Tian Chou's terrified gaze, Jiang Hai naturally put his arm around Feng Yunchen and walked over, speaking word by word to Tian Chou, who was still lying in the snow.
After speaking, without waiting for his reaction, Jiang Hai embraced Feng Yunchen and left. Hearing Jiang Hai's impactful words, Feng Yunchen's face was quite red. She leaned into Jiang Hai's arms and slowly walked downstairs to her home.
"Go on up!" Looking at the electronic gate in front of them, Jiang Hai once again stroked Feng Yunchen's hair and said to her with a smile.
"Mhm!" Hearing Jiang Hai's words, Feng Yunchen also nodded, then took out her key and opened the door.
However, before going in, she turned back, kissed Jiang Hai on the corner of his mouth, and then cheerfully slipped inside.
Listening to Feng Yunchen's footsteps quickly ascend the stairs, Jiang Hai also touched the corner of his mouth. This feeling... was strange.
Before long, Jiang Hai received a WeChat message from Feng Yunchen saying she had arrived home. Only then did he turn to leave. On his way back, he noticed that Tian Chou was gone. However, whether he was there or not didn't matter, just as Jiang Hai had said, he didn't take Tian Chou seriously.
He got a kick today; if he dared to come again, it wouldn't be just one or two kicks!
Whistling, Jiang Hai returned to the front of the residential area, hailed another car, and headed towards his villa in Jiangbei. (To be continued.)
Chapter 942: Domestic Conflict
Watching Jiang Hai's departing figure, Feng Yunchen gripped her phone tightly, then opened the door and walked inside.
As soon as she entered, she found her parents sitting in the distant living room watching TV. Seeing Feng Yunchen walk in, both of them looked at her, but their expressions were somewhat different.
Feng Yunchen's mother's eyes were full of worry, while her father's eyes held a trace of anger.
"Yunchen is back! Have you eaten dinner yet? You must be tired. Come sit down and rest a bit," Feng Yunchen's mother said with a smile as she stood up to look at her daughter.
"Mom, I'm fine. I've already eaten, and I'm not tired." Hearing her mother's words, Feng Yunchen shook her head and smiled.
"Why worry about her? Would she ever go hungry? Is there any meal she can't get her hands on!" Hearing what Feng Yunchen said, her father spoke with a stern face and a look of displeasure. His words caused the already less-than-warm atmosphere in the room to drop below freezing, and the smile on Feng Yunchen's face faded.
"Keep it down. Our daughter only comes back for a few days a year, do you really have to give her such an attitude?" Tugging at her husband's clothes, Feng Yunchen's mother couldn't help but complain.
"Who asked her to come back for these few days? Who asked her to come back! Did I ask her to come back? What did she come back for? To humiliate me? Among all our relatives and friends, who doesn't know she's out there being someone's mistress? Why come back! To anger me to death!" However, her mother's tugging didn't improve her father's mood at all; instead, he craned his neck and started shouting.
"If you have something to say, say it to me. Why are you shouting at Mom? Yes, I went out to be someone's mistress, but think about who I did it for! If I hadn't become a mistress, who would have bought this house? Everything you eat, wear, and use now—whose is it! If I hadn't gone to be someone's mistress, you would have been dead for seven or eight years already, do you know that!" Hearing her father's roar, Feng Yunchen didn't choose to suffer in silence but also craned her neck and shouted back loudly.
"How can you talk like that? I'd rather be dead than have you doing those things! Living like this makes it so I can't even stand tall!" Hearing Feng Yunchen's defiance, her father also shouted back. Caught in the middle, her mother was nearly in tears. Seeing her mother's state, Feng Yunchen took a deep breath.
For her mother's sake, she had no way to keep arguing with her father like that, though her heart was inevitably bitter. Such scenes happened almost every year. In her view, anyone in the world could criticize her, except for her father.
"Forget it, I don't feel like arguing with you. If you can't stand the sight of me, then close your eyes. Who asked you to look? Mom, I'm going to my room to sleep..." Shaking her head, Feng Yunchen was the first to yield. Ignoring her father, she walked straight into her room.
Watching Feng Yunchen go inside, her father also let out a sigh, then helplessly rubbed his forehead and lowered his head. Only Feng Yunchen's mother remained; seeing her husband like this, she didn't know what else to say. After a while, she entered her daughter's room.
Upon entering the room, she saw Feng Yunchen lying on the bed. She wasn't crying, but was looking at a photo—a group photo from their junior high school days. This photo was very old and had already started to yellow. In the corner of the back row of the photo, Jiang Hai was standing with his arms crossed, staring at the sky. Looking at Jiang Hai, her poor mood calmed slightly. Seeing that her daughter's mood was okay, Feng Yunchen's mother sat down beside her.
"Don't blame your father. You know we don't have much ability. The money for your junior high school was earned by us selling vegetables. In your father's eyes, he's the head of the household, so he should be the one carrying any burdens. Now that his life was traded for his daughter's happiness, he just feels uncomfortable in his heart," her mother said softly while stroking Feng Yunchen's hair.
"I know he's prideful, but the whole world can curse me except him," Feng Yunchen muttered softly. Though her voice was small, her tone was firm.
Clearly, the situation with Feng Yunchen was different from what one might imagine. To put it simply, the story went like this.
Feng Yunchen had been very normal during junior high and high school. She went to university, but during that time, because she was beautiful and had a good figure, she worked as a showgirl and model. She came into contact with some wealthy people, but she didn't do 'those kinds' of things; she just did regular booth work and runway shows to earn some pocket money, which was enough for her to live on.
But just then, while her father was out getting vegetables for their stall, he was hit by a car. The driver fled, and he urgently needed a sum of money for surgery. Only then did she agree to a Boss Liu who had been pursuing her, trading her body for money. Everything else followed after that.
So in her view, if it weren't for her father, she might not have become like this. Meanwhile, her father, amidst self-blame and regret, also felt he had lost face; he couldn't stand the blow to his pride that his life had been saved by selling his daughter.
Consequently, their relationship had not been very good over these years, and they would always end up in an argument whenever she returned.
"Your temperament is exactly like your father's. And what your father says isn't entirely without reason. You're not young anymore, and our family is doing okay now. See if you can come back and have a proper relationship. Being someone's mistress all the time isn't right either," her mother sighed, feeling pained for her daughter.
"By the way, your classmate named Tian Chou has been coming over frequently these past few days. I think he's interested in you. Why don't you see if things can develop?" At this point, her mother couldn't help but recall the man who had been visiting lately.
"Ugh, don't talk about that. I'm doing very well right now. That Tian Chou is not a good person. Oh, right, Mom... um, my boyfriend might come over on the third day of the Lunar New Year." At the mention of Tian Chou, Feng Yunchen got annoyed and brushed her mother's hand away, then spoke with a look of excitement. However, after she finished speaking, she noticed her mother's expression was a bit off... "That... how should we address him then?" her mother asked cautiously after a moment's thought.
They didn't know about the situation between Feng Yunchen and Jiang Hai; they thought she was still with Boss Liu, so they were a bit conflicted.
Because they knew that this Boss Liu wasn't much younger than they were. How were they supposed to address him?
"What are you thinking? My current boyfriend is called Jiang Hai. He's my junior high classmate, the same age as me—actually a few months younger. You can just call him Xiao Jiang when the time comes." Seeing her mother's expression, Feng Yunchen couldn't help but laugh as she explained.
"Ah? Your classmate? What's he like? What does he do?" Hearing this, her mother's eyes lit up. He'd changed? Did that mean her daughter was no longer a mistress? She immediately began asking anxiously.
"Here, this is what he looks like. What does he do? Well, he raises cattle and fish over in America. That beef and seafood I sent you was produced at his place. Don't look down on him; he's very rich." Hearing her mother's questions, Feng Yunchen pointed at Jiang Hai in the photo and introduced him with a smile. In her eyes, Jiang Hai was her treasure.
"Oh, I see. Then this time he's coming back, are you planning to get married or..." Seeing her daughter's happy look, her mother's eyes also brightened. If her daughter really came back, it would be a truly good thing.
"No, he's been married before. His wife is the chairman of the Qi Corporation..." Shaking her head, Feng Yunchen knew she had no chance of marrying Jiang Hai, at least as things looked now.
"Ah, it's like that again..." Her mother sighed. The hope that had just sprouted was immediately crushed. It was truly helpless.
"But he really is a good person, so don't worry. Which successful man doesn't have a mistress, a fourth, fifth, or sixth woman behind him? He really is a great person. His net worth and influence are far beyond what that previous Boss Liu could compare to. And he treats me very well. We live together every day, and we'll be together for a lifetime. Don't worry!" Seeing the regret in her mother's eyes, Feng Yunchen smiled and comforted her.
Seeing that her daughter had already made up her mind, her mother didn't know what else to say. But it wouldn't hurt to see this boy named Jiang Hai on the third day of the New Year. From the photo, the kid looked quite ordinary... That night, her mother also told her father about this. Learning that his daughter had found happiness—even if she was still a mistress, which made him feel very uncomfortable—he had no right to interfere since it was her decision. He could only turn away and treat his silence as tacit consent. A classmate was at least better than those old men... The night passed in silence. The next day, Feng Yunchen got up early and was busy in the kitchen. This was the breakfast she had learned to make from Qi Ya. It wasn't easy to come home for a visit, and even though she was always arguing with her father, they were still her family after all!
Regardless of how Feng Yunchen was doing, Jiang Hai also got up early today because Qi Li and the others were coming back today.
So Jiang Hai had to go pick up Qi Li first. Of course, Qi Ya, Qi Jie, and Du Ning were also coming back together.
Du Ning was easy enough to handle; she would just stay in Jiang Hai's villa. But Qi Ya and Qi Jie... cough, it was a bit awkward no matter how he thought about it!
But since it had already happened, Jiang Hai had to bite the bullet and face it! (To be continued.)
