Chapter 243: Chapter 154: Hitting People with MoneyUntil she had seen with her own eyes the two hundred thousand handed over to her parents, she still felt somewhat uneasy inside. The reason was quite simple; she never thought herself to be worth that much. Chen Feng was able to give her thirty thousand yuan each month, which actually surprised her a lot. It also made her realize for the first time that she was worth that much. That wasn’t all; Chen Feng was now offering an additional two hundred thousand, for her to spend a couple more years with him. Even though Chen Feng had already agreed with her, she still found it somewhat unbelievable. After all, this was two hundred thousand, not twenty thousand, and definitely not two thousand. Even in a big city, this amount of money was considerable, let alone in their countryside. "Of course. Didn’t I mention it in WeChat before? Since you agreed to be bought out by me for two years, I keep my promises. Here’s two hundred thousand to honor your parents and settle things with them." Chen Feng’s tone was very calm, as if he was discussing a trivial matter. Indeed, that was the case. Now, two hundred thousand was at most equivalent to the two hundred yuan he used to have. Besides, he didn’t know how much longer he would live, so naturally he was very generous with money. "Are you really willing to spend so much money?" Lin Yujiao looked at Chen Feng with a complex expression. Chen Feng smiled and said, "I think it’s a good deal to buy out your two years; of course, I’m willing to spend." As long as he was willing, there was no question of reluctance when it came to spending on a woman who had once been intimate with him. Lin Yujiao had a thousand words to say, but in the end, they all turned into a simple "Thank you." Chen Feng just smiled and said nothing more. In reality, Chen Feng truly deserved her thanks. In his view, since he was unlikely to live more than two years, buying her out for two years was, in fact, just an empty promise. As for the possibility of not surviving two years and having her return the money on a pro-rata basis, that was even more of a joke. Lin Yujiao didn’t know any of this, but deep down, she was very grateful to Chen Feng, and she couldn’t help but feel something akin to "A man would die for those who appreciate him." Only someone like Chen Feng, willing to spend so much for her, could make her truly realize her own worth and value. Bay Town wasn’t very far from Qingpu Town, especially now that the area had been connected to the seaside city by a six-lane road, making it just a fifteen-minute drive to the center of their town. In a shop in town, she bought two large containers of olive oil and placed them in the trunk, along with taking out the black plastic bag containing two hundred thousand in cash and handing it to Lin Yujiao. "What’s this?" Lin Yujiao, sitting in the passenger seat, guessed and opened the bag to look, and she was instantly stunned. She had seen so much cash before, but it was the first time someone had given her so much money all at once. Once the car started, Lin Yujiao recovered her senses and looked at Chen Feng, who was concentrating on driving, with a complex gaze. For a moment, she suddenly felt that she had fallen in love with this man. A man who was willing to spend so much money for her; she had only met one in her life. Neither her ex-husband nor that Jiang Chao, who wanted to keep her, would ever willingly spend so much money on her all at once. Her ex-husband Xu Jun had once tried to bribe her parents with a dowry of two hundred thousand, which he said didn’t need to be returned—mere lip service. Who knows what tricks Xu Jun and his mother would pull if they remarried? So it was not at all credible. As for old hand Jiang Chao, who talked about lending her several hundred thousand to open a shop, that was even less trustworthy, with surely plenty of tricks and traps hidden, likely to use her for free and leave her burdened with debt. But Chen Feng was straightforward; he directly said that the two hundred thousand was a gift of filial piety for her parents, not a betrothal gift, nor a loan. This was sincerity, with no games. "Don’t space out. How do we get to your place?" Chen Feng’s words snapped Lin Yujiao back to reality, and she quickly directed him. Her home was some distance from the town center here, up a winding mountain road. After about half an hour winding up the mountain, they finally reached her home, a small mountain village not far from the sea. Her home consisted of two connected two-story houses, considered old, situated halfway up the mountain, built against the hillside. One of them, used as the main house, had been renovated, with tiles laid on the floors and walls, and plastic partition boards on the ceiling, making it look very clean and tidy. The two of them got out of the car together, and Lin Yujiao hurriedly handed the black plastic bag to him, Chen Feng saw her nervous look and took it from her. Taking out the two large containers of olive oil from the trunk, Chen Feng followed Lin Yujiao into her home. The front door was open; they walked in to find nobody in the front room but could hear the faint sound of talking from the back. "Dad, Mom, I’m back," Lin Yujiao called out toward the back. Then, Mrs. Lin emerged from the back room, looking at the two of them with a somewhat odd expression. Following her, Lin Yujiao’s ex-husband Xu Jun also appeared, standing at the entrance with a somewhat stiff expression, especially when his gaze landed on Chen Feng, it carried a thick hostility. Chen Feng felt uncomfortable under his gaze and glared back fiercely. "Why are you here again?" Lin Yujiao pulled a face, scolding without politeness, "I already said it’s impossible between us. What’s the point in this? Given your conditions, you should be able to find a young and pretty woman to marry easily, right? Why must you keep pestering me?" Xu Jun thought to himself, sure, finding a young and pretty woman to marry isn’t difficult, but it’s hard to find one as beautiful, hardworking, capable, and good at managing a household as you.
